The Beauty I behold

On October 11, 2020September 17, 2020 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

What do my eyes like to see What does my body like to feel What sparks interest What sets my heart on fire Intelligence is sexy, Intelligence sets my mind alight Shikamaru gets me to sit up Whilst others leave me bored Intelligence that shares Intelligence that is kind Intelligence that is open That does …

My Secret World

On October 4, 2020August 30, 2020 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

On the outside I am calm Still waters am I   On the inside a beat plays Shark tale below the surface   If I don’t show you you’ll never know My secret world, my own domain   I dance alone, I dance as a duet I dance wildly, I dance freely   That is …

Dancing in the Twilight

On September 27, 2020August 30, 2020 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

When darkness is around, When the world is quiet I slip them on   I spring from my bed I am free for a moment I have to be on my feet   The rhythm starts The melody plays Before I know it my hips sway   My head bobs along My arms flail about …

Not Alone

On September 20, 2020August 30, 2020 By GiftIn Poetry2 Comments

In this place in this world Sitting alone in a purple room Hate coming from all angles   In the eyes of others, It is wrong to be Black They don’t want my Blackness   In the eyes of others It is wrong to be a woman They don’t want my femininity   But in …

Warrior Princess Kwi

On September 13, 2020August 30, 2020 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

“You can’t be strong” But I am strong. Where I lack, I build And where I excel, I refine   “To be feminine is a weakness” Why? Pink does not sap strength Kindness does not deplete muscles Dresses do not shrink the brain   “Black is not feminine” How? My grandmother, my Tate Her skin …

To Be Black…

On September 6, 2020August 30, 2020 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

Brown eyes, brown hair, brown skin From head to toe, brown   My hair reaches for the heavens My eyes reflect galaxies   My skin is rich and never the same Summer and winter, the shades interchange   My mouth holds two tongues The one of home, the one of necessity   My lips hold …

Suspended in the Air

On August 30, 2020 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

Floating in the air Holding on to nothing You travel to worlds unknown Touching nothing but dust   What do you see? What do you feel? Do you see? Do you feel?   You are calm in a sea of chaos The hustle doesn’t touch you The bustle doesn’t either You are free, unbothered by …

Peace in Loneliness

On June 28, 2020May 3, 2020 By GiftIn Poetry1 Comment

The quiet whirl of the machine The tap tapping of my fingers   The humming of my mind The soft breaths in~~ and out~ of my nose   The solid walls encasing me The freedom to be myself and I within   The creaking as the house shifts The comfort it brings instead of fear …

Duality Within and Without

On June 21, 2020May 3, 2020 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

Connected and yet disconnected A part of two lands   Returning home as a stranger Returning home out of place   Losing your tongue feeling out of place, a traitor Gaining a tongue feeling accomplished, accepted, a traitor   Part of a tree with roots and branches stretching far and wide Joining another tree, creating …

Afro’d Out

On June 14, 2020May 3, 2020 By GiftIn Poetry4 Comments

Slowly you make your journey You are not to be rushed! Your journey is your own   A crown, you stand on top A crown you gleam in oil and butter A crown you tell of our past heritage   A breeze passes through you and is blessed The scents of the forest The scents …
