I can’t bear the deed of you,
Drifting out in the cold wind,
When little heat flare out from my
Speech,
It prickles my heart,
And mind for you to dance away,
To a beat so near.
Forgive if I’ve hurt,
Pardon if I’ve left,
Traces of discord in the harmony of
Your plans
2013
After two years of been around
Me
You saw
Me…
And your heart told you
This was her
And you believed it
Against all odds
You had an image of me
Already painted on the billboard
Of your mind
The woman of your dreams
And you boldly walked into my life
Believing Cupid had your back
And I was fascinated
By this nerd who thought he
Had the key to my heart
And watched you begin
Begin to skirt around my heart
Searching for the lock
You walked around my hours
And days
You began to know me
For me
And I watched with keen eyes
And amusement as I saw you
Reconcile the me
With the woman in your dreams
For she wasn’t me
I was all contradictions
A sweet smile and a
Selfish heart
A naughty twisted mind preaching
God to you daily
A warm heart unwilling to do any
Cooking
Indeed the woman in your dreams…
But with shocking flaws
But more shocking was
Your resolve to make me her
And so you bought me books
And mentored
You were my therapist
You were my chef
We walked to the market
And before I knew it
We were salsa dancing and cooking
I was writing and giving speeches
I was doing me but sharing
And then
I shared my heart with you
You did it
You pursued
And had me
The woman of your dreams

In the trenches of my personal
Darkness
I fully know the gravity of my
Inherent Stupidity
And I’m prone to accept that I can
Never amount to nothing
Maybe of all your creation
You used the last mud in creating me
But it’s still your breath inside of me
The God- Head three in one
The life of God living in a woman
Pause
That makes me wow!
So no matter my degree of folly
Inherent stupidity and forgetfulness
I can overtake the world
And keep under my feet
All that try to make me fall
I shall soar over every challenge
And I shall not fear
Because in this world my eye
Will surely witness tribulations
But only with my eye will I see them
A thousand at my left
Ten thousand at my right
They shall not come by me
I am an overcomer!

How do I love thee
Let me count the ways
My Enigma
Why do I love thee
Let me think the reasons
My Enigma
Lay thy head upon my tender
Breasts
For I know I have caused thee much
Pain
But pain and joy have always been our
Music’s rhythm
It’s the soul and style of ‘our love’
And that’s why you remain my Enigma
For I never can understand why I love
Thee so
In the dullest of our days have I wished
That you would disappear and leave…
Leave behind only, “thy soul sweeping
Poems”……
And oh, thy delicious tempting lips
Lest I forget, don’t take away thy
“Consistent words that empower me to be
The woman that I am”….
And leave me with thy “enveloping manly
Scent”……….that I may breath in you
When ever I desire……….
In the end
The truth stares me in the face…
I cannot live without my Enigma
So grow old along with me!
As we experience the tros of life
As the knowing of our souls penetrate
To deeper and deeper levels each season
Of our delicious lifes!
If loving him is pain
Then shall we join ‘Romeo and Juliet’
For I come to find that Alas;
We are never so defenseless against
Suffering..
As when I love.

You hardly come by it
Someone you get to be
Romantic with
And foolish with
The one who sweeps you off
Your feet and makes being silly
So beautiful
You know you should choose
Him instead
The mature one
The one you can build a home with
A stable future
Not the one who gets your heart
Boiling
And your blood rushing
And still you come back for
Some few stolen kisses
Crazy adventures
Kisses at the shore
That end in altercation
A dance at his crib
That ends with broken ribs
Coins in his pocket
And you wonder…
What am I doing
Yet he’s the one
Your heart misses
He’s the one
Your blood warms
He’s the one
Who makes you smile
No fake ‘I love you’s’
And ‘I was just checking on you’
No tensed conversations
And trying to be perfect
It’s a love to live for…
And die for…
A love I could live with
And have children with
Even if it’s foolish

Loneliness is alien to me
Has always been
Yet I feel it’s presence keenly
Because you’re not with me
When you’re not around
Time seems cruel
Had never been so
But it is now…
Yet I know when you appear
Conflict is all that will be
Filmed
Yet I know when you appear
Dissonance is all that will be
Felt
So why do I miss you?
Why is my nervous system feeling
Your absence so keenly?
When did our hearts become so
Keenly knotted together?
When did my immune system
Recognize you?
When did my DNA register you?
When did I ever feel loneliness
Without a man?
I’m angry
But have no one to blame
Tears threaten
But have no one to flow to
So I write a poem
And wonder it’s use?
Does it ameliorate my feelings?
Or just leaves one with a
Satisfied feeling?
Perhaps writing history is
Relishing
And gazing at it a decade later
Miraculous
Maybe I’ll know it’s significance
Another life
That decade after
And maybe I’ll smile
And know it was worth it
But I’m still found in now and
Today
Still sitting here sipping my cup
Of tea away
Missing my love
Yearning for his presence
And I’m still typing away
How my heart aches
The solace of a poet

I have this intense sensation
To flirt through the wild streets of
Your mind
To know what you thinking
To know what you dreaming
I am at a junction now
Cross roads of which to take
Should I take the political detour
With concerns of the nation at heart?
Or should I graze the church street?
Maybe I’ll catch you talking with
Jesus and Gandhi
Mischievous eyes
And flirty thoughts…
Are oblivious to the mind’s quandary
A plethora of carnal emotions
Naturally steer my eyes
To the road truly desired
The Highway of Cayenne
But when about to cross, I paused
For I was apprehensive of seeing
Things
Likely hidden from me
Or maybe fears hardly shown
Then I thought;
That will only make you the more
Human
And aptly my Diego
And so I strolled through the wild
Streets
Of your imaginations…
And seesawed the craziness of your
Passions!
I also stared for hours at the fears
Knotted in your heart…
And tended them with my soft palms
And at the end of my escapade
Oh I was drunk with LOVE!
I was in love with you more than ever!
And the doctor said I needed
To be Hospitalized
Sorry for not asking your permission
Before invading the streets of your
Mind
If you feel tired this noon
Blame Cayenne

At 24
I’ve been love by four men
I’ve been loved by you
Yes you
My first Valentine
A time of sweet innocence
Refreshing naïvety
To say yes to your proposal of
Marriage was more of bravery than
Love
For I was 17 and naive
But Spanish Guitar was my favorite
Would have let you play me
Through the night was I not scared
Of loosing my pride…my virginity
But I loved when you kissed me
Though I had to continue at it till
I discovered the treasures of kisses
And I loved that you danced
And adored me
Like I was someone to know…
To understand
And love
My 2nd Valentine
You were more of a Rebound
You knew it innately
And the dangers it involved
But you were lured by my
Innocent eyes that pledged the
Possibility of forever
With you I discovered the pleasure
Of wild lips
And kisses all over my face
With you I delved into the
Romance of the kitchen
And pleasures of pillow fights
But I still kept my pride
And as rebounds are meant to be
I broke your heart
My 3rd Valentine
You stole me from another’s arms
And lured me with the fantasy
Of celebrity dating
A fresh guy and a fresh girl
Who wouldn’t smile at them
A virgin yet as naughty as me
Prepared to discover all the
Romance of silhouette novels
We role played and acted
Texted love messages and sang
To each other
….”giggling”…..
You were what every girl wanted
And since I had finally found you
Or so I thought
I gave you my pride
In the pool
On the table
In the bathroom
Hands tired to the bed posts
…..”giggling”…
It was no wonder God saved me
And I broke your heart
My fourth Valentine
Oh you wouldn’t let me be
You sought for love
And unfortunately you found me
You wanted a woman for life
But you got ‘Cayenne’
The only man I was myself with
Yet or thus
We fought everyday
Kissed everyday
Slapped each other
And cooked together
The market women knew us
The Liberians smiled at us
The lectures teased us
And I loved every moment I spent
With you
You taught me to grow up
Be a woman
Build; Invest; Cook
Learn; Research; Love
Care; Give; Dream
But I still broke your heart
Coz we were not meant to be
Now my last Valentine
You are Odd but Chosen
Unromantic but Loved
Nothing that I wanted yet
All that I would forever cherish
We won’t play under the sheets
You won’t know my pride
But we will overtake this world
Together
The man of my life
The father of my children
And I promise I will make you
Proud
I will learn to love you
The contrast of falling in love
It never did me much good
So I’m willing…more than willing
To try you
And if God thinks we would be
Great together
Who am I to protest?

You strode into my life
Without an apology
You walked around my hours
Adamant on sharing them with me
You called me silly
For not letting you in
And I wondered
Who was this blastered son of Adam
You aroused my anger
With your impudent effort
At amending my life
You possessed my lips like
It was given to you of God
And as profusely as you introduced
Me to books..
So you did, the hot passion in
Your blood
With each kiss and fight
I tasted it
WIth each smile and salsa dancing
I strongly felt it
With each poem and you
I touched it
So my hours were yours
And yours were mine
My books were your books
My handouts were your handouts
But forgive me
That I never gave you my heart
But took yours
And threw it to the beggars
Our moments meant the
World to me
Your kisses were never
Enough
Your heart amended my life
My world
But I still couldn’t give you
My soul

I know you don’t think
You’ll hurt me
But you will
It’s what people do
You will love me with
Your eyes
And poetry
With your hands
And heart
And in your anger
You will spite me with unguarded
Words
And in times of pain
You will shut me out
And in times of boredom
You will look at another woman
And it will kill me
And that’s why I don’t wanna
Love you
I just wanna like you
So it doesn’t hurt
When you hurt me
