I CAN'T
I can’t judge her because,
I don’t judge
I can’t hate her because
it’s not right to hate
I can’t say that I am the better
choice because
I may not be
And I won’t be angry, because it
is not in me.
I won’t be sad
Because your type of love wasn’t
true
and the best thing that
happen to me
is not being with you, and
what I will do is thank God
that ...I am free from you.
I can hold my head up high
and not even cry.
Deidre LeShay
Be motivated today to work
twice as hard tomorrow to
achieve your goals.

{Silver} by LeShawn Smith
Mercury quicksilver through
space
Omega, from a salmon" fate
destiny; galactica steel ..
Iron worth rations of pence,
Rubies set in the casings of
tin
The moons" great cousin
spiraling through the flow of
ebb
cool wealth
A lady's stealth
distinguished metal
livelier than gris,
The solar system precious
Rings
A woman's waistline, where it
all begins
giggles ... in the wind
Cool relations
Sparkling, dazzling rotations

{times tell} by LeShawn Smith
Cotton fields to Carnegie Hall
pickaninny; Oprah Winfrey
Yes suh; Mr. President Sir ..
mastering country; ... only
time tells
7 lashes with the liberty bell ..
wading water prevailed ...
snout, mawg and tail
Woolly ebony curls; a parasite
with sand is a pearl ...
Mahalia fills the air.. with
sweet perfection
Zebra roaming the land;
concubines dealt hand ..
Gauntlets and chalice filled
with Sean Combs wine ...
tells time; tells time ..
