S Langley Poems

Water, Water
No shape, yet adaptable.
Water, Water
No taste, yet it's palatable.
...

I welcomed you in,
turned inside out and over easy
Let you have your way, even when I knew it was wrong.
I let myself go in order to please thee.
...

God loves me.
Many hate me.
I often make grown people cry.
I do not discriminate no matter what, and I'm on the opposite end of all lies.
...

I got to bed orange every night
Just fresh and in a good space.
I wake up early to the morning light
Shades of yellow all over the place.
...

Brotha, brotha why you treat me so bad?
Didn't you say I'm best thing that you've ever had?
Why then don't you wine me, dine me, and shine me?
Why you so busy looking behind me?
...

I was young when I started to cast my pearls before swine,
Mistaking sex for love was the biggest flaw of mine.
Grew up without my daddy, so I was attracted to older men
Of course all the things I know now, are what I needed then.
