Those Thighs


Sound poem for "those thighs"

Brenda’s got a baby Tupac once hip hop cried
And I remembered the tears that formed in the corners of my eyes
Thoughts a pondering upon young girls vulnerability
And their precious once of a life time virginity
Their world centre is fake love man lust
Legs open wide
To be used and abused
And with an evil plan on his mind
He whispers …But baby I lurve you…”
As his hand slides up those thighs

Promises of the world with its diamonds and gold
And its blitz and its bling
And its never gonna be a 30 min fling
“…I’ll be by your side you know, for life, you’re my wifey…”
Don’t believe those lies

With false futures foretold of happiness and 
Swimming in a pool of bliss
With the everlasting warm feeling of that butterfly kiss
Wake up realize sterilize those reoccurring thoughts
Young girl you’ve been bought
Sold into the slavery thinking that this is how I ought to be
Everyone is doing it so why cant me
Open those thighs

Following what seems to be the majority
Mind set in one way thinking
Blinking eyes clouded with delusions
Stinking into a pit of confusion
What does it mean to be a young woman?
In a society that boxes you in with no variety
Anxiety builds up as you wonder who the hell am I?
Images bombard your visual perception
Music video bum shaking
Lyrical song sexing
Social networking bra posing
Pretending to be older with the breast push up
Thinking that dinner means a quick feel up
A first kiss is a skirt lift up
And then you just widen those thighs

Breathless faces blind your sight 
Taking you away like a thief in the night
Each featureless face cutting a piece of your heart
Stoned faces camouflaging in your memories
Histories of masked faces blurred into one
Your hearing drowns in the sea of moans and groans
You feel alone cold
Iced in the walls of castle black in game of thrones
As your mind wanders to places unknown
A cyclone of daydreams and regrets for leaving the friend zone
Second hand ticking
Clock watching
Eyes closed to present
Wishing you didn’t open up those thighs

Smiling faces transforms into evil grins of satisfaction
Attractions that once existed no longer taking action
The game has been won
It is done
Until the next man comes to you 
Saying that he loves you after two days of knowing you
Wanting you to be a part of him forever
Adamant that he needs you and believes you to be the one
Like neo in matrix who rescued humanity
You are his savior who brought him out of insanity
Sweet-talking you until he has you like putty in your hand
So you can just open up those thighs

There is more to you then what is in between those thighs
Who you are and who you be is not in the valley of those thighs
Made to perfection were you

Known since in the womb were you
Made in the image of the most high were you
You are internally magnificent
Uniquely designed intended planned considered
Premeditated
You weren’t a mistake
Non-accidental but instrumental
Influential
Significant
You are beautiful
Every patterns of your skin
And character trait equate to something great
Don’t believe the rubbish the world throws at you

It is okay if you just close those thighs...

The Colour of Life



Often I wonder what life would be like without You in it
A part of it
Not always there from the start of it
Waking up and not feeling You there in it
The capital L that forms the word life
My life not the same without You in it
A dullness it would be
Gloomy
Void of all things colourful
Murky

Like seeing life through sun shades only
Lonely
Slaved to a world of colour blindness
Dimness
But You have brought the colour to my life
Painted it with a freedom
My chains have been broken
No longer in captivity
I have been set free
You have shaded my life with a love that blows comprehension
I am loved and I know it
So I can walk paths with my head held up high
You have known me since in the womb
And continue to know me as I have grown into maturity
Every cell of my body cries out in thankfulness
I am grateful
I recognise you in my life
Stepping out from darkness into a glorious light
Vibrantly I now see a new richness
That has me enclosed in a spiritual bliss
And like taking the first breath of my life
I feel You in me 
Inhale exhale
You be the air that I breathe that travels through me
Bringing the being into me and making me completely functioning
Like oxygen
I am breathing the goodness that I need
You be the very essence that makes up me
Bringing me back to life
From rebirth all the way to eternity

The colour to my life you be
The colour to my life you be
