Book Excerpts From 5***** "Just Speaking My Mind" Spoken Word Poetry Vol. 1
 
 
 Different Last Names
 
Tears of pain
Runs down her face like the falling
Rain
Wondering why the man she calls Father
Does not share her last
Name
 
It hurt me so deeply
To see you
Cry
So I will do my best to explain
To erase those tears from your
Eyes
 
 
Satisfies Me
 
I get so excited
Everytime We
Speak
Her conversation is seductively tantalizing
And taste
So sweet
 
When we make love
She paralyzes
Me
And makes my toes curl
As I fall fast
Asleep
 
 
Why Do You Fear Me
 
I am an aspiring
Young black
Man
Educating myself so I won't
Have to work hard with my
Hands
 
But, everytime I point my head
Towards the
Sky
I see the look of fear
Deep inside your
Eyes
