A Devoted lover

 A devoted lover 

A devoted lover

Comes lovin you 

To the sun…..

To the stars…

You can see

You never move away 

You took your 

Devoted lover’s hand 

And sat with long silence…

Laughter 

Maybe tears 

I figured 

You’d be married 

To your devoted lover

Livin a long life together 

Cos 

You’re a devoted lover, too…♥️©️Kai C. 8-12-26

Him romancin me

 Him

Romancin 

Me

Him 

romancin

me 

to the 

Bone…

Between sheets 

and the air…

Lips

Seal deep devotion 

While 

He’s behind me

With his arms around me….

I swear 

I wrote in my diary 

About what my man does to me 

Durin the day 

And night 

I told a page 

How he enchants me 

Like Romeo 

He stays in my bedroom and 

We dance and we make love 

When the moon rises at my 

Window…

Him 

Romancin 

Me, 

For a lifetime 

Holdin my hand 

Feelin his heart…

I’ve wait for years

For him to come 

Around 

I knew he would come…

I didn’t lose faith 

All the aches 

I endured 

Til my soulmate 

Walks in 

On me 

With wide smiles 

Those twinkle in his eyes….

Universe brought him 

To my soul

He came with intention 

And kindness…

Him 

Romancin 

Me

When we get older 

And wiser 

Tellin new lovers 

To be patient 

To be hopeful 

Cos 

It’s a possibility 

To love 

To deeply 

Without stoppin….

I have him

Him

Romancin 

Me…all his passion 

Feels like 

Forever 

And warmth….

You want me to be quiet

 You want me to be quiet…

You want me to be quiet…

Don’t speak a word…

Keep it to myself, right?

Cos I might make white folks 

Feel uncomfortable….

You said it’s not the right time 

To talk, to post…

When?

Cos racism comes and lingers 

All the damn time….

White folks created this mess…

It’s theirs….they made white 

Most favorite color in the globe…

Am I lyin?

Am I tellin a fib?

Nope…..

I don’t have to be quiet…

I don’t want to….

I am dangerous…

A bold woman 

You may shut my social media down 

You may cancel me 

Send me death threats 

But you will leave my family alone 

Leave my friends alone….

I won’t compromise 

I won’t comply 

You can try to talk to me 

At a corner…

It’s not goin to change my mind….

You can use a black friend 

To convince me to stay silent…

I will shake my head no…

I’m okay 

Being in trouble….

I’m okay 

with losin friends 

Yes my feelings will get hurt 

But how come it’s a problem 

When the world stands up for 

Black people?

Do you really have to say 

With your actions that 

We’re not human?

I may not be an activist…

I may not be an advocate…

However 

My black poetry give my people 

A voice…raw sound to make them feel 

To make them express, to make them 

Heal without apology….

And you got a fuckin nerve to

Tell me to be quiet….

I’m not afraid…

I’m not afraid of that white man…

If he makes me vanish,

Then he will never know peace 

Anymore 

Even if he sleeps peacefully at night 

He will never know what peace 

Looks like 

Cos the world will remind him 

Of my poems 

Of what I wrote about him 

Of what he has done to me….

People might recite 

My words to torture his ass 

Purposefully…I know libraries 

And bookshops might ban my soul

Cos of this truth…truth quivers

Evil souls…

You can’t really quiet me

I’m in someone’s heart….actually 

I’m restin myself back in the 

Back of your thoughts…

Yes I’m hauntin….

You want me to be quiet….

I won’t…

I never will…

You may try to find ways to 

Get rid of your mirror 

Though 

It’s still there….

Cos the world is still talkin…

You can ignore 

Cover your ears 

Walk out 

Yet I’m still speakin….

You can never tell people 

To stop discussin 

About me and my black poetry 

Cos there are facts over deep emotions…

You can yell 

You can shout 

Throw a tantrum 

I don’t stop 

My spirit doesn’t stop…

Use voodoo magic 

And I still don’t stop….

You know damn well 

Racism white supremacy 

Murders black people….

The system is still killin 

Black bodies everyday 

And I should shut the fuck up…

Absolutely not….
