Fabric of Life...Poetry

I wear my poetry
Like a panther wears its fur

It is the fabric of my existence
Paper is the thread
The beginning of procreation

Its threads like
Strands of gold
Woven into words
Of imagery

My pen be the needle
That weaves my words
Into form

The shape of life
Like the first breath given to man
In the beginning……..
There
Was
The
WORD
And the WORD was
So
As in its infiniteness
I AM
Eternal
For I
AM
The
WORD
And the word
Be the skin that I wear

And I wear it fierce fully
Like my flesh
That adheres to my tissue and bone
We are inseparable
Indivisible
Unattainable
Like the sand that passes
Through my hands
Beyond comprehension

Like words of the Most High
Brought creation to all in existence
So do words
Bring creation to my being

Poetry be the fabric
That shields my nakedness

Poetry be the Fabric
That brings me and all that I AM

To LIFE

I Didn't Claim Poetry

Inspired my Amberly's Me Poem.....Amber, Thanks for the inspiration! I didn’t claim poetry Poetry claimed me It wrapped me up And seduced me At the tender age of three I didn’t claim poetry It claimed me It called my name While inside my mother’s womb It nurtured me And cuddled me And wrapped me up in its cocoon I write because of submission It is my therapy The only thing that allows Me to maintain my sanity I didn’t claim poetry Poetry claimed me With intoxication For words medication No need for translation It be my sedation I know no other way It is the ex-pression Of WHO I BE I live for it Die without it And strive to perfect it I be the muse To the ink The pen be the tool To express me Poetry is WHO I BE

Can I Get My Mojo Back

Can I get my mojo back? You stole it a long time ago. Where you put it... I don't know. I looked in the closet and under the floor Or maybe you ran with it out the door.

Mojo Oh mojo Where can you be I need you right now so candidly My looks are straight, my game not so tight I need you hear to make it all right. So please, So please I'm warning you.....Return my mojo before midnight! Copyright 2004
