11-11-12 Poem

Lobby thoughts
Of far away days
The past, the future
but right now, I claim this a good day

4am I awoke
Inspired to pray, Lord
Help me to never loose my way
Help me to never forget this day

In this moment, a want for nothing
Laso'd time, giftwrapped in gold...capturing
These beautiful thoughts,
Blessed to pay
Every low, made today a good day

Nasira braided my hair
Her sweetness brushed away my fears 
We laughed, we smiled,
Features of familia-rity

My day to dance with daddy,
My Aiva my everything
Sentiments to Ohio, a trip that brought me home
To spread hope, to families from my own

I dedicate this day, for now and always
To my babies saddened by the world
Know that all you are and we will ever be
Is my life's everything

10-30-12 Poem

Success attracts two things
Love
And the pains such love brings

To be admired,
desired
but too fraid to be aquired

My life....now

To be the woman I am
virtuous
but assumed to be
everything else

Sad...for a little while

10-14-12 Poem

My sister,
Who's lived 31 years
On my birthday
My wish is for God to claim your tears
I couldnt find a card to say
You're stuck with me forEver...okay
I get why you've been mad since '86
Since packing my school lunch, and pick up sticks
Since chocolate M & M cakes and jelly slides
Since getting big sister blamed for when I cried
Since wetting your bed, when I was too scared to sleep alone for nighty night
Since kicks in the face and salt and pepper fights
I hope on your birthday you didnt wish me away
You're the bestest big sister, well for the torture that's the least I can say!

Thanks for everything, love you.

10/3 Poem

I dated a Frank Sinatra once

And ohh was he a fine fella

He wore a cologne of love

And when we danced I became Cinderella

Smile today love I miss you, I love you. You are in my thoughts always.

With love,

India

9/10 Poem #2

Have you not learned
Love they
haven't earned
Ponder on
the wait of its worth

Stop
the dates
Stop
The cares

Unlucky libra
your luck's gonna change
Stop, chasing pavements
that lead no where

Youre stronger
be wronger
Certain
Love will set you free!

9/10 Poem #1

Bad night
A new day
surrender this
in tears I pay
rule breaker
gone astray
Delibrate disobedience
to take me away

Another
Just like before
Trusting a fools heart
that beats for the dismay

9/10 Poem

I learned the hard way that they all say

Things you wanna hear

My heavy heart sinks deep down under

You and your twisted words

Your help just hurts

You are not what I thought you were

Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you

Made me think that I need this too

I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

You grabbed my face

Through emotions all over the place

Made me out to be

Unable to breathe easy

And now you have the nerve to play along
You got your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me
And the less you gave the more I wanted so foolishly

But I will never be your stepping stone
Taking back my heart and leaving you alone
I will never be your stepping stone
Looks like ill just keep on stepping on my own
