Its Distance From Comprehension
A mind closed,
Will always announce...
With unsolicited opinion,
Its distance from comprehension.
As lips never meet,
On a mouth unfamiliar with silence.

Strategic Is The Tactic
Strategic is the tactic,
To set a trap and capture.
With a hunting done,
To lure someone...
Into a place,
To keep one's mind...
Victimized and accepting.

Sun Light Comes
Life bites.
Many moons come to pass.
A dawning Sun light comes,
To lift darkness from nights.
Wounds heal.
Smiles brighten.
And a life liked begins to dance.

Instincts
Now...
That she has established herself,
In a career.
She believes...
Her motherhood instincts,
Are just as good!
And I thought...
She was lousy,
In bed!

How Long Did It Sit
If something has been allowed,
To escape from the making of sense...
How long did it sit on a mind to ponder?
Before it was noticed to have left importance.

Limited Environments
Limited environments,
Is not a dismissable excuse to use...
To keep one's mind,
From experiencing the value of life...
To live it as given in unlimited ways.

Not Being Black Enough
Unlike whites,
I can not use blacks as an excuse.
I once tried that long ago.
And I was accused of not being black,
Enough.
By those accustomed to the abuse!

Isn't That Enough Evidence?
Of course I still love you.
That's why I moved away.
To convince you,
Even at a distance...
My love for you is stronger than ever.
Isn't that enough evidence?

A Normal Thing Done
Confronted by opposition,
To me is a normal thing done.
When young and being opposed by others,
I've learned to face consequences.
Instead away from them run.

Intentionally
Intentionally,
You do what is done.
As if to others,
What you do is not known.
And intentionally,
Those who know what you do...
Pretend,
They do not notice.
