Lonely's Daughter

No one will look at her, no one can see into her eyes
She just keeps on walking, and no one notices as she walks by
Some think she is someone, but no one asks to hear her reply
She is Lonely’s Daughter, and no one hears her cries
Someone will use her, but find she is of no use
Another will mislead her, and use her own gifts as the excuse
Someone will leave her, and she will realize what she already knows
That she can keep on walking, though her path will lead any way the wind blows
Because she is Lonely’s Daughter, and her womb has been just the same
Solitude’s only child, but for this one, there is no name…

Drifting (Make Love to Me)

Make love to me
I just want to you to feel about me the way I feel about you
Just us here
You’re far away and I miss you
All I want to do is to kiss you
You so near my reach can’t miss you
But somehow… somehow….
I still do…
I want to take you far away, far away
Let’s Be—just King, just Queen
But your thoughts are clearly away… away from me
So I miss you when you’re gone
But when you return, you’re still away
So falling asleep for me is the same as staying awake
There is no meaning in a New Day
Because today is the same as yesterday
And it’s just as cold… it’s just as cold…
Because you won’t take me into your arms to hold
So I’ll continue to be alone… alone…
Thinkin’, Make Love to Me…
I need your arms around me strong
I have been longing for your embrace
But you won’t give me what I need
Even when placed upon a platter in your face
Don’t let my Love spoil and turn to waste
Help me see what’s good in a New Day
Because
You’re far away, and I miss you
All I want to do is to kiss you
You’re so near, my shot can’t miss you
But somehow, I still do… I still do…
Still do want you to…
And I am hoping you will still want me, too
Because it’s so long since love made
That its absence and promise both have me afraid
Of what I will see in your eyes…
Maybe I’m alone because you’ve grown away from me
And you smile as a disguise to cover your lies
But still…
Somehow…
I miss you when you’re gone
And when you return you’re still away
So falling asleep is the same as staying awake
I am looking for tomorrow to be a new day
And when I fall to sleep, I may awaken in a new day
Hoping that we stay…
Stay… stay the same
Somehow different, yet the same as yesterday
Because I will always love you
Until I pass away…

Effervescent

Just a whats rumblin' through my mind

I now have the space and the time to reclaim whats mine

I don't worry about those who don't know me

If you are an iron to sharpen the mind--then show me

Otherwise you just missing out on what is divine about my being

Its my life that I am livin', and oh the things I am seeing

Got me happy that I can share the way I live

and when I got it, you know to a friend I will give...

Give me a token from your mind, and call yourself a true comrade

But your affection is as explosive as the bombs were over Baghdad

Your ill reprieve is your number one ingredient

So I wrote that ass off-- to the Queen you fail to be obedient

Therefore there is no use for the waste that is You in my presence

Unless you can cherish my essence-- mind, body and soul so effervescent

I hope my words prick your spirit, because you know your ass is fake

But its all good-- sit that ass on the curb-- stop trying to perpetrate...

I regulate the things that come and go out of my life

They don't know who I be--I don't lose no sleep at night

I got my life on the path I chose, and love those that have been able to stand by

So now I will share with them a piece of my Life pie

Goodbye to all that bullshit of the past, I am blessed with no stress

And my legion of Angels protect me while keeping me at my best

No contest

Can't see me even if you had the light of His Holy Spirit

Dem cyant get close to the Queen I am, and so they fear it

But they hear it

Beating in the pulse, inhaling my energy-- its in the air

You could never replicate who I Am-- not even if you cloned the DNA from my hair

Effervescently vivacious

Yeah-- I am all the way live

And when I see you on the street-- best believe I'll walk on by

I bump up the volume as I dance to my life track

Peace to all you haters, losers and fakers

Because this Queen ain't lookin' back...

Best Friend

a letter...

I tell you now I mean not to offend, but I have this on my heart
Good friends are hard to find, and I have about two-- so that’s a start
I am built with this capacity to love, and need an unconditional friend for Always
I need someone to talk to, I need someone to share and not judge how I spend my days
It’s crazy how you can have a few that say they are true to your cause
But turn around and leave you lonely to speak only to the four walls
I need an ear to be lent without the bitter upchuck of an aftertaste
Someone who won’t use what was spoken during weak moments to later throw up in my face
Someone who can be honest with me, making me better and not kick me when I am down
And when it comes to the wire, they will defend me and stand with me on solid ground
Someone to offer a hug, and a few words of encouragement when I need to just make it through
Someone that I can call on at any time, that will make time for me because our friendship is important to them too
A person whose words can hit home with truth, but are seasoned with salt
Someone who can admit when they too are wrong, instead of making it everyone else’s' fault
A friend who can lend support in my career, but also admonishes me to chase my dreams
Someone who wants to know what makes me smile, understanding my complexities and my amusement at silly things
A person's whose opinion is just as much the same as mine as it is different because we can agree to disagree
Someone that understands and actually takes an interest in the part of me that's Queen Poetess B
Someone who won’t use me only in their time of need, and forget me when times are great
A friend that can share in my successes and accomplishments, and not secretly stand on the side tryna Hate
I try to be the friend to others that I always wish I had, but cannot find
And I become more restless as time continues to pass me by
I am a good soul whose journey feels unreasonably solo despite my attempts to be enough
And the odds of being knocked down are higher than the expectation to keep getting up
Best Friend, I wish I knew you; I have some tears to shed in your presence
I want to know your character; I want to cherish your essence
I want to support you and help further your ambitions
I want to lend an ear and anything I can to help you to achieve your visions
I want to extend a hand for you to hold when words cannot explain how you feel
I want you to tell me what you are afraid of, even if it’s not real
I want to provide a calming word to ease your frustration
I want to be the one you call when your success calls for a celebration
I want to be the friend you are looking for in the darkness, holding the source of light
Most of all, though, I want you to fill this gaping loneliness in my life.
