Sheba hush...QUIET

If we care at all sometimes we walk on eggshells, regarding our thoughts but then there are those days...and I call her Sheba who isn't unkind but honest which can be a weapon.

Sheba...like my mama name

Sheba off the chain gang

she baby don’t know when to quell her mouth

think she know errythang and all about its origin

position behind the perpetrators

I tell her she gone have to press down a few layers

consoled by the sounds of mental grievances

the way they vocalize virginal and pretty, delicately pinging

off walls

wanting to be freed but don’t let them embark

there are continents between comprehensions

Sheba soulful g’nosh nestled bounteous bubblicious sweet and too cold to hold

too bold to be told no

can delegate affairs

exclusion of liaison

voice of many reasons she keep beautiful ruminations from making contact with air

the audience is not ready keepin it in the lair

on stilts without athletic reach as decoration for her follicles

minding in the safe place nearest...Sheba like my mama’s name

rue if the lovelies find orifices for release

 

there will be no rest for the body

no resuscitation for feet of the steadfast

no shame                              

 

thus our lips keepin sealed

"wanting to be freed but don’t let them embark

there are continents between comprehensions"

Those lines grabbed my attention in this slang kind of way poem. I like that thought alot about continents between comprehension.
About Sheba that was so cool and voiceful...Excellent...:)..................

Sheba needs taming and I have to crack the whip...because her many rants are misunderstood by most but you are one of the few exceptions to the rule same. Not many are as opened minded as you and what is not understood is criticized :). Thank you again for finding Sheba cool.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. Thank you kindly. You are welcome...:)....................

You are so sweet thank you very much. I'm looking forward to seeing you write more than the one poem of yours I had the privilege of reading earlier.

I often find myself checking my words at the door, not wanting to offend or step on any toes, but at times my inner Sheba comes out and it seems my thoughts go back to the beginning of my comments and I wished I had checked my words at the door. At times you do need to speak your mind, but always...always thought should precede voice...maybe someday I will learn that lesson.

Very cool Shirlena.

Like you said Jack sometimes it is just necessary and sometimes you've let thing go far too long. The situation can vary but when I finally do open my mouth...I'm learning how to master the art of being honest when it is crucial and the words come from a higher source. I usually pray on it. That is the only way I know how to do it-smile. Thank you for your insightful review.
