Bitter And Sweet

I have a face like a rotten apple.
Retracted.
The fullness of my lips tucked into themselves,
                              stopping up some ghetto explosion
                              and loud, lower class laughter
                              lunging forth on
                             delicate ears
                             around
                             me.
My eyes are stars
pulling into themselves
'till I become
invisible.

But my chin
and my shoulders
can't help being seen
                            'cuz they carry me.

All the "Big Bird" You Can Handle

I Guess I Feel Like

just once, I'd like to be lucky in love.
I'd  like to get the guy I crush on... y'know?
So far I've just not been that girl.

No Me Ven

pero le desee
y soy como una hermana.
Hay espiritus en el blanco de tus dientes
ellos no cuchichéan mi nombre

Tus ojos no me ven
en mis pantalones negros apretados
en este lápiz labial extraño
del rojo como sangre
Puse mientras que pensaba en usted

Celebrity Crush: D'Angelo

D'Angelo A.K.A. Michael Eugene Archer

let's start with the video ALL the ladies remember oh so well... 

and every lady I talked to could not remember the song, but the video- Good Lord! the video.... *drooooooool*

now, this one sexy, BOLD muthahfuckah... right?

From Wiki: Early life

D'Angelo was born Michael Eugene Archer, in Richmond, Virginia on February 11, 1974, to a Pentecostal family. Strict, they forbade interaction with other church members. His time deep within Pentecostalism left Archer with several notable memories, including seeing his 9-year-old brother catch "the Holy Ghost". He would later recall one of his memories as a 12-year-old:

"I saw this one lady, she used to catch demons. She used to always catch 'em. And one night at this revival in the mountains, she caught a demon. She was going out of her way to disrupt. She ripped the Bible apart. She was being sexual. Stripping. Foaming at the mouth. She was speaking an evil tongue. I had never heard it before, but I knew it was evil. And this brother from the choir, he and the evangelist tried to get it out of her--to exorcise her, and she was screaming, "No! No!" She crawled out of there on all fours. There was a graveyard out back, and she was jumping on the hoods of cars. And the whole church went out and made a circle around her and started praying and singing. Then my grandfather laid hands on her. And it was over."

—D'Angelo, Vibe Magazine, 2000^[4]

Archer's musical talents were discovered very early on. At 3, he was spotted by his 10 year-old brother, Luther, playing the house piano.

"Mike was three - and it was not banging," Luther says with awe. "It was a full-fledged song, with melody and bass line. Shortly thereafter, he started playing for my father's church. My father had a Hammond organ, and he had to slide down to reach the pedals, but he did that very well."^[5]

—Luther Archer

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So, what's he been up to lately? In a word, drugs. A career marked by several year long hiatuses, drug court battles and several comeback attempts has so far carved out a dark and street-soulful sound that has come to be a real rarity in today's artists. 

Albums:

1995  Brown Sugar

2000  Voodoo

2011? Untitled

(also a lot of collaborations with other artists in his downtime, including Method Man, Lauryn Hill, Dr. Dre, and Common)

I'd like to see this talented, beautiful man clean up and put another record out- about coming out thother side of it all. What an amazing record THAT would be, and nice on the eyes, I must add.

A Hidden Thing

a pause under a smoky umbrella
your smile
a certain place

home, in negative,

warming length of eachother

coaxing out
a hidden thing.
