I just got in from a venue in Bmore called "Verbatim Mondays" hosted by Rebecca Dupas. The feature was a brother by name Ainsley Burrows, other Poets included Sabrina, Native Son, Temple and Paul Mabon. I can only hope whatever streams through touches the place touched in me.

A bird sings outside
my window it's past midnight
it seems things have changed

I sat down to write and nothing jelled so tonight i found something from 2005 written in here so...

"a poet's love song"

raging warriors
made mad love
to the mic
and penned
a new beginning
for hungry souls
at venues last days
near death defiant
acts gave rise to
celestial heights
'what the fuck are we
fighten for anyway?'
who wins the war
for black souls
layed to rest
at the end of the night
when all that was
searched for
was a nut?
they came here
to get an orgasm
free of their own hands
so they too can
remain free from sin...

sistahs cry for
men to rescue them
from their own demise
waiting in line
for another brother
to keep them safe
from the pillows war story
beautiful are the women
that come to these places
looking for a spoken
word to express their anguish
and maybe for a moment
feel understood,
just to walk alone
basking in the arms
of a poet's love song.
