Addicted

Addicted

I know I Know
but I love the way it
slides over my skin
damn near making me
Tap Out
with every buzzzzzzzzzzz
intended to trace
the outline of my butta.....fly
wait..........
lemme
readjust
for some more buzzzzzzz
Colorful extractions
filled my cup
drippin green soap on the flow
to satisfy my favorite smell
like lavender sage
forming a higher level
Wipe me down
breaking
my concentration down
to the peace of me
written Hebrew
nestled in the comfort of
my spine........
Kissed
reflections
from an upgraded past
covered and smothered
with new love
something like a perfectly
designed
bond of strength.........
Bless Me
Rockin this Key
To Life.
I’m Addicted


What’s Next??

Power

Power

Let's take a moment to elaborate on the meaning of power: According to the Merrium-Webster dictionary, power means to have "possession of control, authority, or influence over others."Okay now to my story..........It is necessary to have p...

“Bridging The Gap........Who Moved My Seat?”

Before I begin, I think another disclaimer is necessary.......... I, Nzuri Asha’, have so much love & respect for the elders of the community. My family taught me very well, however, I will definitely stand my ground.  So in my first blog that was written about the elders, I reiterated how important it is for the youth and elders to embrac...
