"They say"

They say a woman should be
They think a woman is what
Place a woman there
Touch a woman there
A woman belongs
needs to
sit next to
under the ceiling

She

the pride she walked with was

unseen, unheard of

she had elegance, class and a little bit of sass

stance was marvelous and direct

eyes were as open as a valley stream

seen was she

heard was her soft

but concrete voice

the rhythm of her stride was none

less than the proud walk of her country

she was Ayiti

Ayiti drew the attention of all

with the peeled back

veils of insecurity

Ayiti was watched by those
who wished they could be her
vividly wanting to
embody her charisma, and intellect
burst of love and loyalty

her faith in God was immeasurable

her words spoke through miles and
miles, miles and miles of trees
with every thought that ran
through her mind sidewalks were

engraved with signs of life

music was Ayiti's vice

Ayiti wrote, sang
played every note heard of
"La ti da tada" she'd go
"Bdo tedey" she'd scat

she remembered when

Ayiti was

a part of that scene

eclectic lights
electric notes
vibrant ears
silhouettes of crescent moons
upon their cheeks

We live to create.
We live to love.
We live to live.

Serenity

A woman is as essential to a man as the Earth embraces the seed which brings forth and reaps luminous rays of serenity.

We live to create.
We live to love.
We live to live.

A Lady Holds Up The Sun

Assured luminosity

Limitlessly influential

Accepting nothing less than immediate attention

Digression relays not of her own vocabulary

Yearning census completion for her soul

Henna drawn deep in her raised welled eyes

Overly willing to let her shoulder lean for them

Living to satisfy the soul past the

Diameter of the universe

Serenely supporting her man

Urges the young ones to be all they can be

Prospers in what she knows she was destined to hold

Thrusts hugs at them even when they deny

Hatches eggs of life with

Eternal love sketched in her veins

Simply divine

Untold measurement

Night's very own goddess

We live to create.

We live to love.

We live to live.

Feel Empowered

I am
Be
Feel Empowered
We are women
women of all shades
believe you are worthy
confirm your intuition
sound your voice
to be heard through eyes
lifted you are to be
lifted ones you form
senses mandated to create
unlimited access of elevation
inhale desires of humankind
that will sort out love
from confusion
so education leads me to know that
I Am
Be
Feel Empowered
infatuated they are with us
can't keep their laces of curiosity off us
In need of reconstruction we are
so we can be able to rebuild lives
singe that old chick with snapped fingers
immerse yourself with aromatic cedar
resurrect compassion, true wisdom,
vigorous and honest appeal
know that
I Am
Be
You must
Feel Empowered


We live to create.
We live to love.
We live to live.
