I'm not going to lie when Whitney Houston died, I did not feel the need to rush to my blog to post the details of her death to be popular or anything like that. This woman blessed us with an unspeakable gift that I will never forget... she was there with me (and other fans of my generation) in the 80's, 90's, and now. So, as a fan I took to engaging myself in CNN and Facebooking with my friends who were also remembering and honoring Whitney. I was mourning a voice that had been a constant in my life since I was in junior high school. With the rest of her fans around the world, I too went to church today via BET and CNN and was grateful that her mother Cissy Houston allowed her fans to take part in Whitney's homecoming.
I'm just grateful...
I'm just grateful...
Whitney Houston, thank you for blessing us with your voice.
GIFTED.

"Women are sacred, divine, special creatures. In this earthy, universal spoken word song, Christopher D. Sims a.k.a. UniverSouLove describes how sacred women are. Having been nurtured and raised by three phenomenal women himself, UniverSouLove is more than able to write and expression such feelings. This poem, whether heard or read, is for all women to enjoy."

"Disgusted by their kinks, they bend over
the sink trying to straighten things out." - Dwayne Morgan
the sink trying to straighten things out." - Dwayne Morgan
This is a new video poem entitled "If Only She Knew Her Beauty" from poet, author, spoken word artist, and one of Canada's finest - Dwayne Morgan. His latest video poem tackles the ACCEPTANCE of what I like to call our superficial "hijacked-image" & society's disgust with our natural beauty. It's one thing to enhance your appearance, but are you doing it because you love you or because society's doesn't love the real you?
After viewing this video, you too will say "Thank you Dwayne Morgan".

Day 1
To say that I miss you
Would not be a lie.
But,
I'm bolder when
I muse you -
Arranging words
Into stagnant cries...
Day 2
You were not all
That anyway.
You were unspeakably,
All that -
Everyday.
Day 3
During our journey,
Your cloud was always
Billowing with
Make-this-shit-as-effed
Up-as-possible.
I ran with it.
Decision Rich,
Just didn't fit.
But for the life of YOU,
I couldn't quit.
Still Day 3
Your absent presence
Bothers me.
Your absent presence
Reminds me.
Your absent presence
Is unsoothing.
Your absent presence
Moves me.
Your absent presence
Is deserting me.
Yet,
Building
A renewed me.
I'm crying poetically.
The End

Living as though
I hoard all I
Have to give,
My quiet hesitance
Is decadent.
For my purpose here
Is unclear.
Crying fear.

In short order,
I love you.
I really do.
I might have hated you,
Talked about you.
And swore I'd never think about you.
Character assassination
Also got you through.
Hearts serve a purpose.
So can we both honor that too?

Loc'd, weaved, straight, nappy.
Permed, colored, texturized.
Can we HONESTLY
Unleash our natural gifts
And still be beautiful?
Happy?
I'm nappy and happy.
I'm happy because I am nappy.
Becoming nappy has set ME free.
There is no hijacked image here
Because I'm afraid to do me.
Read: I'm not afraid to do me.
Word to the Toni Braxtons.
Who keep it
Short, cropped, weaved OR unweaved.
You too exude a certain freedom
In you HAIR beauty,
And no FEAR with your versatility.
So, whether you buy it, or keep it real.
Dye it, but still don't understand the big deal.
Know this Sista,
Society cannot mold or shape
The REAL you.
Express freedom
And not their hate for you.

I love you like chitterlings.
Which could mean that I don't.
Your funky love won't let me in
To embrace the beautiful things
You won't.
I love you like chitterlings.
Which could mean that I don't.
It's the 5th year of another year,
But the 1st year that I divorce fear
And KNOW you are not:
Dear to my heart.
Connected to my mind.
And a soul piece to my emotions.
I love you like chitterlings.
Which could mean that I don't.
I don't like chitterlings.

I am trying to motivate myself to write again. And I will express the same sentiments at any given time. Yep, as a poet I have my periods when I think inspiration is a microscopic thing waiting for me in a sea of grass. That's what "we" do. Please enjoy the short poems that I wrote last year and have now included in my blog.

Because I already know,
What you want.
Except -
The door is in my face
And not yours.

He Ain't
He ain't equal to my self-worth.
No matter how I flip it,
And gauge the size of my own dirt.

I'd be promised a hug and
Infinite comfort.
But you are not here.
So, I bleed because he
Wants conditional comfort.
