  • You don’t know ME

    I am loving, I am caring I am kind
    But you don’t see because insecurities make you blind

    I give freely; I love hard
    But my sincerity you disregard

    My attitude is one of servitude
    To you this may seem odd
    But it’s a reflection of being a child of GOD

    I give props when props are due
    To this I will stay true

    You want titles, a pat on the back and accolades
    When I comment you think I’m throwing shade

    I see the potential in you that others overlook
    Your eyes show you have a magnetic hook

    I apologize at times my words may be sharp and blunt
    But it’s 2025 and there is no time to front

    Life is short, we only passing thru
    Time to wake up and do what we gotta do

    I’m a straight shooter
    But what you don’t know is that I’m a mentor and tutor

    I give as much as I take
    But I don’t have time to be fake

    Don’t have time to be sugar coating
    For the world to be out their boasting

    The way I live, the way I talk, the way I act
    This all real it’s just straight up facts

    No one wants to see me for who I am
    Always thinking I’m running a scam

    All I want is for everyone to live and love better
    Come together so we can make some of this cheddar

    No matter what I do or how I try
    Someone always twisting the truth into a lie

    Why can’t you see, I just wanna be me

    I’m just a real sista from the hood
    That’s been mis-judge and mis-understood

    So, just let me be
    Cause you don’t know me

    • Lois, this is such an empowering poem! You are so right that sometimes people’s insecurities make them blind to your attributes. I am glad that you always choose to be true to yourself even when it makes others uncomfortable. This shows your strength and character. Thank you for sharing your experience!

  • I Love the Sun

    I love the way the Sun caresses me.

    His rays extending out to touch me ever so gently,

    Sometimes,

    Aggressively.

    Sweltering heat.

    Body dripping with sweat.

    I love how warm he is,

    And how he makes love to my skin.

    Highlighting my,

    glistening melanin

    In

    His presence.

    He compliments me.

    Tells me that I’m iridescent too,

    That I’m

    Bright like him,

    I shine like him.

    He kisses my ears,

    My face,

    My feet,

    My chest.

    He kisses me all over,

    Just like a man should.

    He kisses me like no man could.

    He tells me to take my clothes off.

    He asks to see my bare skin,

    Expose myself to him.

    So he can turn me,

    Fifty shades darker.

    I love him,

    His yellow hues,

    His bright beam,

    He makes me gleam.

    He brings me joy.

    He encourages me.

    Tells me to keep my head up

    And to look on the brighter side of things.

    I call him my Mr. Bright side.

    With him there’s no wasting time inside.

    I’d rather be outside with him.

    I’d rather see the world lit up

    Than see days dim.

    I prefer his Sun rays.

    His way

    Of

    Communicating is

    Clear,

    Firm,

    Straight to the point,

    Exact.

    He makes me feel HOT.

    He warms my heart.

    Damn I love the Sun.

    I love the summer fun,

    Being outside,

    Sometimes shading my eyes,

    Cuz of how dazzling he be.

    I LOVE his Sun rays.

    I love him when it rains.

    They are my favorite duo.

    Sun and rain,

    Washing away my worries,

    Shedding light on my power,

    Powerful is he.

    Dangerous he could be,

    But

    I treat him how he treats me.

    I smile,

    Appreciate his presence.

    I lay under him without a care.

    I hold him in my heart how he holds me with his heat.

    I love it when we meet.

    Every day is different,

    Entails something new.

    He helps me get a clear view.

    He makes love to my skin,

    Cuz he loves my skin.

    Me and him kin.

    Alike.

    I absorb him and I’m meant to.

    All types of trouble to get into when he’s around.

    It’s hard to frown,

    Cuz the Sun knows just how to turn one upside down.

    He’s clever,

    Using his beautiful full light to enchant me.

    I can see the glimmers dancing,

    On my,

    Shea buttered skin,

    Just for him.

    He lights up my eyes,

    Exposes the brown hue that is my hair.

    With him I’m always bare.

    Naked.

    Cuz he sees me.

    He means me

    No harm.

    With his charming self.

    I love to have him wrapped up all over my arms.

    Damn I LOVE the Sun.

    It’s so much fun when we become one.

    He tells me secrets,

    As he,

    Slips into every part of my ear.

    He is peaceful.

    He makes me feel at ease.

    With him I don’t have to think.

    Just be.

    Ugh!

    My favorite thing to do with him is sleep.

    Chile,

    He puts me to sleep.

    All I need is a mat and a pillow and underneath him I won’t hear a peep.

    I’m safe with him.

    Wherever he is there is my protection.

    An armored weapon

    When he needs to be.

    Don’t get too close cuz he will burn you.

    Psht, he don’t play about me.

    Sometimes,

    He plays hide and seek,

    With the clouds.

    I’ll see him and the next minute he’s nowhere to be found.

    But ion trip, cuz I know he’s always around.

    And even if it’s cloudy I know he’ll come back around.

    So he can come caress my beautiful

    Brown skin,

    Brown eyes,

    Brown hair,

    Some more.

    He’s everything and more than I could have ever imagined.

    He shines on me and shows me my potential.

    He shows me how to be gentle,

    Patient,

    With myself.

    I love the Sun.

    So long ago our love story begun.

    And I promise can’t no one,

    Take our love away.

    He’s here to stay.

    So girl, let me let you go.

    I’m finna go lay,

    With my friend,

    My man,

    The Sun.
