Sensuality is me
Black chocolaty deliciousness
Woman enough
not to pimp my own sexuality
Divine, beautiful and bold
Shame you ain't seen nothing this sexy
Maybe if you're lucky, ya next woman
will be
a package, high price
both lustful and lovely
given from the heart
and between
well you know
You smile at the sight
of me
You moan at the thought
of me
Yeah, maybe if you're lucky , ya next woman
will be as
fly as me
Sweet as a honey bee
Regal as a queen
If you get a peek, then you know
You've been chosen
You didn't choose
Gap toothed sex appeal
Curvaceous
Tatted, pierced
Diva
Maybe if you're lucky, ya next woman
will tempted your imagination
make you rise
with only a suggestion
I define womanhood
and still embrace my
girly wiles
Gigglin', smilin' cuz
life is good
Maybe if you're lucky, ya next woman
will be
me

My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

For Colored Girls: Seeing Red

After being very vocal about being Tyler Perry a less than favorite choice to direct an adaption of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf" or better known now as "For Colored Girls", I watched the movie feeling empty. I've seen myself in the colors of orange and green . I've empathized with the browns in my life. I know yellow and I know blue. Then there is RED . I could spend time examining the issues I had with the movie. I could also celebrate the power of dynamic words used to express OUR stories of various hues, depths, and struggles. The color red, Janet Jackson's character, disturbed me. This development of this character reeks of Perry's own personal agenda. He wanted to talk about the down low situation. He wanted to bring in HIV and so he did.  In spite of Janet's less than wonderful acting abilities, I was interested in how her story would play itself out. I heard about her. Th...
