Aishiteru Summoning my company Was more than basic sex to me No bewitching you Merely The nearness of you As we took Our time Your orders Stained as a design Down my spine T'was a pleasure in listening Between each pause Koru-Chan's jet orbs glistening Hearing your story's life line Between slurpy sips Of sweet plum wine You came here To be an exalted, significant Man I met you here To express that, how you want, you can You were tired Of bitter bark and salty sea I offered you Solace sitting across from me Your thick thumb I can still feel smudging The painted pout from my lips Your deft hands I still feel the sudden chill As Obi taut fell from my hips Your voice I still hear affirming all That we had mutually agreed upon Your breaths I smelling slivers of ginger As you directed - Lay upon this futon There on the cushioned floor You taught me the strings 13 And I taught you the bow's beauty Plucking, sliding, clutching Cupping, hissing, blushing Begging, soothing, touching Precision and succession Prediction and submission Penetration and seduction But sadly All sunsets turn to sunrises So Do remember fluttering Of eyelids and paper fans Do remember time travels To other cultures, other lands Do remember the calls of gales Moaning bliss at midnight Do remember rhapsody Incense scented, holding you so tight Do remember it all Long after the descent Back down that mundane hill Remember this plane Where no one else ever loved you Like I And no one else ever will © lilbabysoul/Aphro Ingenuity '14

Let Me (S)have You Working so hard each day Juggling Life, Positions, Dispositions Even fighting urges To sometimes water gardens Seemingly greener When the periodic seems patchy I beam deeply inside Mouthing gratitude to the Heavens For your heart's empty setting That saw me as the exquisite stone And the perfect mounting Observing you put you aside Ignoring warnings inside Tensions surface and bubble Tell-tale sign? Face smooth erupts with stubble What can I do to relax you?

Beau Flexion As I observe activity turn To silence I softly laugh inside knowing Tis not your first time. Not my first time Since our blessed inception Filled with curious eyes Brave queries which Happened in your Eternal Summer A few moon's coronas ago I watch your life As you stealthily reveal We As a note, a line A word, a rhyme Or an entire not-so cryptic subject for Two reasons: Because you WANT to Because you NEED to Because I took my ample sample To FEED you How you flatter me How you shatter the Guilt and opaqueness inside me Every time you leave perfumed Spittle mist For me to walk through Each time we love it brings me Great, unspeakable joy That you would share Even if among a few That you would sincerely care To capture pristine moments Of mutual suspension In animation Freed from judgement's lash And apprehension's past Oh, Beau.... How I RIGHTLY love you so © lilbabysoul/Aphro Ingenuity '14

I Deserve I want that man all about me... As if he were both sentry and thief. Clad in battle-ready raiment and snarling teeth. I want him to steal yet keep vigil over every part of me. The pebbled, rainy wall-to-wall of me. The sordid yet sacred flambé hot of me. The ripe, ready bounty of me. Because I deserve my Daddie. I deserve my Daddie because I'm sweet. And I, ravenous..want something to eat. I wish to call out to my to-be-Love. To let him know, wherever he is in below or above, that I smell him. I smell him and I wish to be inebriated by him. To convey this in the prose and ode. By the ticklish nibble on both lobes. And with every heavy truck load. Because I deserve my Daddie. I deserve my Daddie because I'm sweet. And I, ravenous...want something to eat. For serious, in my sorbet bowl, I stirs it well. Smiling, in the dusk, conjuring love spells. Shitttt! I want EROS...in all it's glory AND damnation!! Raising glory or hell, I must have elation! Right now, spare me your finger-wagging judgement about what condition I should be in. Just bring me those stacked centimeters; let me deal with my own sin. Because I deserve my Daddie. I deserve my Daddie because I'm sweet. And I, ravenous...want something to eat. Ask me questions I've denied answering for so long. Make me buttery from the churn so deep and strong. Command Pollyanna to strip bare as you stare. Free my freak without shame and care. We can have this moment openly or you don't have to share. Because I deserve my Daddie. I deserve my Daddie because I'm sweet. And I, ravenous...want something to eat. © lilbabysoul/Aphro Ingenuity '14

Double E I keep waiting for someone to call With laughter and remorse In their voice To tell me I'd been pranked And to expect a chime at the door in 5-4-3-2-1 But I know having Favor Does not include ever Seeing him Seeing her Seeing them Six sets of eyes darting in wonderment Over the Love inside he That incited him to choose she That eventually made me In this realm again I won't get that call Because they within months Of each other Answered their calls To shed flesh And receive the keys to their homes In the Infinite They weren't perfect but They together and alone Obeyed the greatest commandment And that was to Love They are why I believe in Love Why I refuse to pay mind to anything Or anyone that is Not about Love Why I approach every angle of Life Clad in the full armor of Ready to knuckle up for Love And if I should go down for Love? Taken down by imps and simps That know the glory but Wanting me to stifle about their ploy To destroy the power of Love? I'll fall on my face as if I were in prayer I'll do it smiling Drawing my last breath...for Love Because that's what they did It's how they made it Being Humans in this world They weren't hateful And why I don't want to be I shall never forget being Chuleta Their doe-eyed baby girl The manifestation of Patois, cane, canals Flowing polleras Jam-Pan essence and Afro curls I can't forget them Because everytime I look in Truth's mirror I see Fight I see Submission I see Struggle I see the need to Educate For Heaven or even Hell's sake I see Family I see 1 plus 1 equaling Eternity I see a bow-legged Man I see a scrawny young Miss I see vows on a November day I see their First Kiss I see the American Dream I see the Scum and the Cream I see hair turning from black to Gray I saw them here then *poof* Gone away I see it all, doncha know See it all from burgundy cropped hair To dainty ringed toe I see Evan I see Eve I see Love Courageous and I am comforted Because I see Me © lilbabysoul/Aphro Ingenuity '14

The First Time "The first time, ever I saw my face..." The first time ever I saw my face I remember it Being a reflection in my mother's eyes Giving thanks for the miracle Lent to her after years and tears In trying I represented newness then I was to be only limited then By what limited them Which, looking back, Was nothing "I felt the Sun rise in my eyes..." The first time ever I saw my face it was in a mirror As a 10 year old Overnight, change came Taking me across bridges Over into Womanhood A place where I could not only be A speaker of Life But a co-creator of Life Signed with a deal of lunar blood "The first time ever I felt a kiss on my mouth..." The first time ever I saw my face I was dripping in white About to make plans to love To stay to say yes everyday But it's funny how fairy tales Can abruptly end When coaches and such Are greased up and stained By the slick The infamous Tar Baby "I felt the Earth move in my hand..." The first time ever I saw my face I was crossing The Mason-Dixon Line A new chapter, a new life Ready to break Richter scales Simply by tip-toeing On morning time Bending blades of grass That was my own Everywhere I went "The first time ever I laid with you..." The first time ever I saw my face I became a Mother Having come back from dark And no stars This gift meant to remind me Of spiritual pursuit and promises everlasting That my kind would never die The reality of it all still hasn't sunken in God's grace too big to box in Let Your mercy fly "I felt your heart so close to mine..." The first time ever I saw my face I was Soft For me to ever forget all That we meant Every possible malady Would have to converge on me Wiping me magnetically clean So I couldn't for the life of me Recall the 'So Good' for once On land, in sky, on soul's sea "The first time ever I saw my face..." The first time ever I saw my face was RIGHT NOW Because I could plan for tomorrow But all I have is this moment A moment, for what it's worth Is glorious So I'll not regret with gnashed teeth Any past faces or places Because it's all worth it I was built to behold my face I'm gonna make an excellent read one day Even if it's only read In celebration over my dead body "The first time ever I saw my face...My face...My Face...MY FACE..." © lilbabysoul/Aphro Ingenuity '14
