Farhana

So you see this sexy Girl
and outta nowhere she starts talking to you.
What do you do?
Keep talking.

Now... I've known her for about 8 hours.
Already, I've taken a liking to her.
She seems to like my poetry,
and likes to try new things.
She's Bengali {as are two thirds of my friends}
But I must admit
Farhana - Beautiful Bengali Princess.
{Too much? Oh well, coulda kept going =] }


See there is not much to say right now.
But She's lovable,
outgoing,
and did I mention she's beautiful?
Yea, she's a good girl
......I think.....
Right?
But it's ok if she's not, cause she told the world her secret...
She's freaky.
You said it, not me.
Well, short dedication, but I'm pretty sure it'll get longer.
Trust me, it'll get longer.

Sparkling Beauty Deserves Recognition
and Farhana deserves a dedication.

Colette

Womp, Chica, Womp Womp
She is here when and is lost
and waiting when all is found.
This is for her.

Now... let's start by saying this.
Coco, what is life without a "aphrodisiac"?
She knows what I mean.
She has the best taste in music I have ever heard since 1905.
Damn, that's long.
Really long.
But besides the point.
Let's see.
From Freshman to Sophmore year,
There hasn't been one poem that I have written that she didn't like
and even put a few of mine in her book.
Felt mad special.
MAD special.


What's her favorite?
Gotta ask her that.
I think it's "Love Like Gold".
{Hope I'm Right}
She is Guyanese, which is why we are such good friends,
AND
why she bring me any food her mom makes.
Wonder why I haven't been getting any....???
But anyways
She supports all that I do,
and even helps me when she can.
She defines friendship
and loyalty
and respect.
Values that I hope my children have.
She LOVES POTC {For those who don't know, Pirates of the Carribean}
No No, she loves Johnny, and Orlando.
Of course....
She writes poems too,
and knows more soul music than I do.
Hell, she knows more music in general than I do.
She's the only one
who laughs so hard SHE CRIES!!
TEARS!!
Mad funny.
She is spontaneous, and so damn funny
like Chris Rock,
Only she's a girl
and looks WAYYYYY better.

Colette, A lot is coming your way,
Just look up and reach for it.
Stars are farther away, when you waste your day,
but keep reaching at night, and just follow the light
and if you hear what I say, and still lose your way
keep your dream in sight, and let it guide you right.

Colette = Total Awesomeness
Nuff Said.

Jacky

Brothers? Chyea!
Blood brothers? Might as well be.
I'm gonna find myself sayin NO HOMO quite often...

I think of Jacky as..... Brother Africa.
He's mad stupid.... and smart at the same time {nickname oxymoron}
But you gotta love the dude.
He is THE ONLY PERSON I would trust my life with.
Without him, its like Cake without frosting
That shit goes in the garbage.
And though I can never really remember how we met,
Good thing we did, cause he is my best friend in BTHS.


Jacky Alcine {WTF no accent? Sorry J}
Went to school together.
Went to summer school together.
In a crew together.
Nuff said.
Nah we do it all together {NO HOMO}
and we make that shit look sexy.
{NO HOMO}
He looks out for me, and I think for him,
and together, we rock hard like a statue.
We are the male versions of Bonnie and Clyde.
Peaches and Herb
A Tribe Called Quest
The Five Heartbeats
Earth, Wind and Fire
Damn it we like the Jackson Five (except we ain't rape no little boys booty holes...
and we ain't rip out no titties in a superbowl... and we never went to a superbowl.)
We are THE shit.
Now its important to put the "the" in front of the "shit"
Cause without it, we just shit
and we ain't shit.
THE SHIT.
GET IT?
GOT IT?
GOOD.
This is what we do,
This is our mark
and we leave it proudly.
Love, Loyalty, Luxury
We strive for this
we ask of this from everyone,
and we will not stop until we have it.

Graviti and Daze 24/7
Swagger

Let it Rock....

Shannon (Melissa outdid me Cause I got no pictures)

Shannon is Shannon... Nuff said.

Freshman year, barely knew her. Sophmore year, can't stop talking to her. I mean, we ain't bestie best friends, but she's special enough for a dedication anyways, so I'm writing it.
But who is she?
She's like the first cousin twice removed you always wanted.
She's spunky and fierce and sexy (sounds like Beyonce, huh?).
But she's Shannon.
And I must say that the one thing that I can think of
that would make me write this dedication is...


Thanksgiving.... or at least two days after.
All I know is thanksgiving was THE WORST day I have ever had...
My mom didn't buy food, and I starved on Thanksgiving.
So when I went online, I told Shan, and she was tight.
" If I had known, I would of told you to come get some food over here."
The only other person who said that was a dude I knew from since birth.
AND HE NOT EVEN FAM.
I just thought that it takes certain situations to see who truly nice people are.
They didn't have to offer food
but I guess it's the thought that counts.

But though I don't know much about you,
I know you could be going through a worlds of troubles,
and still manage to come to school with a smile on your face,
and in some cases, keep it there.
Anybody who can do that has my utmost respect,
and that's why this is dedicated to you Shannon.

Happy Birthday ( in 3 and a half hours) !!!!!!

Love

Can I ask a question? Is this the break-up season?

Like seriously, I mean I don't mean to state the obvious, but relationships that started in the beginning of the school year, or even before, seem to be dying out real quick-like. Everyone on AIM has that same status: "I'm so hurt, how could you do this, I'm crying, you ruined my life, nobody talk to me, I'm off to kill myself..." and I'm like, all this over a guy or a girl? Really? You mean there is somebody out there willing to slit their throat because of a break-up? I mean, I know its love, and its had to get over, but you have to understand that there is more to life than just him. If you really love them, work it out, and if you can't, then maybe the person thinks it wasn't meant to be. You have to be able to accept that sometimes. Plus, you never know who you could be leaving in the dark to chase the boy who broke your heart.

This does not mean everyone should really do that now...

Because it might have been you that drived the person away...

Now don't get me wrong, no one is saying this is no reason to fight for the person and win them back, and I'm not saying that you should kill yourself because it was yourself, because everyone makes mistakes, but don't punish him for your's because some people do that. I meanI feel sorry for all those cringing in pain, but a lot of you deserve better than what you were getting {sorry about that, who am I to judge?} and should be able to find someone better to make you happy. But you know what.... I can't really talk, cause I might not know half of you that read this, I might not know the history of the relationship, and you might curse me out, but really, it's just my opinion, and I'm just saying...

Why?

Why is it every time something goes good for me,

it never ends up working for me?

I thought it wasn't bad, that it was a small problem,

But it's bigger than Life...

why can't people just see me,

not the problems

not the pain

not even the happiness...

just me?

NAH HOMIE!

life doesn't work like that...

it eats you up

Love EATS YOU UP

Hate EATS YOU UP

and you try to survive the world, when you can't survive your mind.

Give it time....

things will move on....

and soon,

life goes

RIGHT BACK TO

The way it was meant to be....

Nothing

This is what nothing looks like...
and you are what everything looks like to me.
Cause when I open my eyes, the only thing I wanna see is you.

Last Time - (My Song)

(Verse 1)- Love got me insane with a girl by the name of Lorraine but not the same as the girl that came two weeks before, she not lame, actually she on hell of a dame, missed fame by a nickel, but she got that sick game, and her frame put the ex to straight shame, she dumped a few dudes, but it was them to blame for their loss, cause when she drop it she fall harder than rain, Lord tell me how I'd live without my darling Lorraine.

(Bridge)- One time, I saw that look in your eyes
Two times, I saw you with that other guy
Three times, I looked at you and saw the light
and me and dude right there was bout to have a fight.
Four Times, I whispered goodies in ya ear
Five times, He walked away I pulled you near
Last Time, you dipped on him without a bye
and helped me out to have a good night.

(chorus)-
This is the last time that I ever have to say this
On my phone you hear this and I rock it on my playlist
And the words I say right now are true
Cause it's just me and you
This is the last time that I ever have to say this
Swinging all around but this is one that I just cannot miss
And baby, tell me you are mine
Cause I'm tellin you it's the last time.

(Verse 2)- I gotta cutie with a bootie and she answers to the name Marcia, Work faster than the block builders in Ikea, and the thought of me and her run thick like Madea, lastin longer than the root word of Onomatopoeia, and the convos on the phone givin me new ideas, I watch her rock the boat while we listen to Aaliyah, I'd introduce, but it's not a good idea for you to meet ha, Cause you'd fall in love with the sweetie Marcia.

(Bridge)(Chorus)

(Bridge 2)
Lovely lady
How you doin
You droppin jaws at the way
Ya body movin
And all the dudes that ain't arrive
all losin
and if they haven't seen you yet they been snoozin.
So take my hand
lets stop the world
so everyone can see that your
my special girl
I hold you close, press play
and underneath we watch the world twirl
Me and my Cinderella girl.

(Chorus x2)
Fade Out

I believe and now I see

You see my Momma, never knew what change really was, until Obama's and Oprah's fight for her cause, we stopped looking in the future to recognize the past of the men and women who cry in the heavens today as it rains pure satisfaction at the hands of the ultimate victory for one too proudto give up, like we did when we slumped our heads and let history dictate our future, and our predecessors predict our successors, we let them assume for too long at there the day came that change was beyond the range of the medically sane, but hit a realm of disbelief not reached upon in some good years, and all that they hear was here stands the great monument of the standards and morals of a united people, and we fall only in sheer discomfort to those strongly oppressive of the wonderous stide we've made to liberty's end and ascension's beginning, for those who have a dream, to those who change, for those who shall not be moved, to those who shall overcome, and for the rest saved in a tme of innocent transgression, we say that we hold these truths to be self evident and these words to be law, I believe, and now I see.

Heart

March off into the absence of my present daylight, and shine like the sun-shaded crescent moonlight, cause tonight, we start working like it's AM rush, and if we say that we should die together, it be lust that drive us to the dusk of dawn's edge of night, and if we say that we must let this love rust like metal, then our bond shall break like the broken trust when we fight in the light of the sun-dimmed river on the right, and the world and its problems not too far from our sight, and we say we're alright, but alright's for children, cause these are no easy times in the world we livin, all the pain its givin, all the love its taken, all the memories lost, solid dreams mistaken, but don't let false boundaries take you back to forget me, cause right now know that there's no place I'd rather be than in your heart, beating with your bittersweet melody.

Know Love

Sometimes you have to know to love to feel it, and I can't say that I know you, but how can I feel something that isn't there? Without a doubt I would jump through fire for a smile but I don't even know your name and it's a shame because Love pours out my heart like sunlight through the window of the house that holds your heart captive in a maze I search forever and ever. Beautiful words to anonymous love. Sounds like diamonds, hurts like fear, feels like freedom, looks like the wonders that lie beneath your trembling lips longing for the smile to meet my eyes. But my eyes are blind to the love you show me, because you don't know me. But you know this love is real, and if it was all I feel for the rest of my life, my life would be worthless without you to make it count. So let's know love, because love never knows who it brings together, but love's the reason why they'll be together forever.

Love Like Gold

I Love Like Gold from the heart like Glass, because my Heart ain't gold, but the love does last, and the overwhelming feeling slips over like a cast from the months I spent waiting here back in the past, but alas, I see the Love flow like the rivers let go streams of tears to the valley below, and so I cry today, smile tomorrow away, let the sun shine bright and the darkness decay, push play on the world standing still with no beat, walk the block up and down with music movin my feet, hum to the rythym of the lockdown love song, feeling you like I wanted to for so long, and I was wrong to doubt that God would never let you come along to the one person that makes you more royal than King Kong, and no lie, I wanted this for so long, that's why you and I will be lovers forever in all time, through the good, bad and ugly, from the mad to the funny, when we down low and poor till we rollin in money, Cause you always been and will be my honey, and I stay with you forever, as long as you love me.

World

Nothing is something, to anyone brave enough to turn nothing into something and something into everything. From lies to truth, from hate to love, from anger to peace, from poverty to prosperity, take the world, turn it upside down, and start over from the ground down to the sky, so we won't have to reach so high to get to the top, and we make beauty in darkness and love in light, and we make a vision in hardships, and create reality in luxury, we turn day into the stars and the moon to the light, and soon even the world will have to stop and admire itself, the masterpiece we created, the truth we found in the beauty of hidden treasures, and grief becomes happiness, the curious become the educated, and the confused see the opportunities they never thought would be there, and gave hope to a world built on madness.

Overcome

Overcome you? Freedom never came. 100, 200, 300 years and we are still slaves trying to find life, and even that seems to be taken at will from our grasp. Overcome you? Free at last will surely come last, not fast, because even if the change comes, will it save us? Overcome you? Our oppression still stands like the strands of time on the line of truth that predicts the pursuit of happiness, whips us like the caged souls we are. Overcome you? No, overcome me. Better Yet, overcome starvation, poverty, crisis. Overcome us, because soon enough, we shall overcome, someday.

Someone like you

Our together is my forever, because my forever is with each other, and the last everlasting love shall reign home on window panes and doorsteps sheding coats of my love from upon the heavens like flocks of white doves discarding their feathers in the shade of brightened day, and for this love I say there is no words to possibly come close to the flutter in my stomach or the beat in my chest or the look of the world when I think of you, because nothing is ever the same when I've never been with someone quite like you.

Aftershock

From mesmerized to traumatized, nothing burns more then your beautiful eyes, and if I died it would not be in your arms but in the arms of the one you lost me too, for he loves me and I do not love you and as I speak I try to repair the decimated ruins you left behind with just your shadow, and all I see is you in the trail of my mind, and the line between insane and collected is fine, so hopefully you learned your lesson, and I learned mine because a day without you for me is a lifetime.

I can't explain...

I can’t explain it, all I know is that the love was there, it was always there, but I couldn’t see it because pain had a hold like death on a soul when I saw you walk by and couldn’t muster up the courage to say hi and in the end all you said was bye… And for seven months I lived the lie that said I never wanted you, but the heart in my heart was too blind to see love through the eyes that was graced by your presence, So for 7 months I felt something I thought wasn’t there, and for seven months I ignored what I know now to be Love, or at least that’s the word they use, but I think what I have for you is stronger because I can no longer hide the fact that you belong in my arms and I in yours, and it’s funny, all of this to say I love you, but I guess that’s just how love works…

Who is she?

Tear away from the skin and see what lies within the battered mind of a withered soul of a broken spirit of a person who is still willing to fight for all the wrong things and throw away all the right things, and good becomes bad and gives birth to the caged bird who flutters her wings at the moon's reflection because she's lost her own reflection on her way to find herself, and finding herself would be as easy as turning the hands of time back, but if she did would she be satisfied with her changes or still dissapointed that the girl she wants to become is long gone, and therefore she loses hope, which is the one thing you shouldn't do if you really are trying to come home.
