I can only love you if you let me

I am beautiful 

I am smart 

but I can only love you if you let me

I am not your enemy 

I am not against you

but I can only love you if you let me

you push me away

yet I will always be your lover

but I can only love you if you let me

Welcome to the first week of @euesworld ‘s #EUESCHALLENGE: Sunday Dec. 30th - Friday Jan. 4th at 5 pm PST. You can search the tag #challenge at any time throughout the week to find the current challenge - from the top of my page, and don’t forget to tag your pieces #EUESCHALLENGE without the # sign, that means tag, if you want your stuff seen..

Helloooh everyone!! We’re here at the poetry hall of fame.. and I am DJ Eunique.. at the station that slaps your eyepatch off with eye-popping poetry from the beautiful minds of anyone that would like to submit. Thanks for tuning in.. as we had to change channels due to a disagreement between Rhapsody and I over at PoetryPortal. Now for your challenge.. tell them what they get Johnny!!

*in the voice of Johnny* Behind curtain number one.. I want you to write any poem you like.. *chuckles* except we want you to begin it with, “I am beautiful..” in the middle of it, we want you to write, “I am not,” and end it with, “yet I will always be.” Pretty simple.

Behind curtain number two, *chuckles* we have the BADASS hidden.. to be a badass, you need to color code the way I have behind these curtains, and use the triple alliteration, “failure finds forever,” and presto.. you are a badass.

“I am beautiful, fruitful, if dutiful.. failure finds forever, a sign that I am not fully together.. but I am a sea of blissful me, sinful, yet I will always be.” My BADASS example - Eue

That wasn’t so hard this week, now was it? It wouldn’t be called #EUESCHALLENGE if it wasn’t challenging.. I would have named it something else, haha. I hope you guys and girls have fun this week.. cause my eyepatch keeps falling off and I need to blame it on something else besides the fact that I bought it at Dollar Tree.. so get those submissions in!! Now write!! Why aren’t you writing yet? Why are you still reading this? Wtf man?!? I said write, not read.. ok, ok, I’m done. *eyepatch falls off*

*WARNING: Wicked Poetry may be included.. read at your own risk.

@praggya1993 , @jmsapphire , @peaceandpono , @uninhibitedmatters , and @poemsbitches - Let everyone know the challenge is still on..

Alright people, listen up.. here is the #recap of the WEEK 3:  #PORTALCHALLENGE submissions here at PoetryPortal. You can always search the tag #recap on our page at the top to find the recap annd the tag #badass to see who the badasses are..

@praggya1993 - did 2 GREAT submissions, @jmsapphire did GREAT work, @peaceandpono had a GREAT poem, @uninhibitedmatters - is a total BADASS at the buzzer, and @poemsbitches - is EXTREME wayy at the buzzer!!

Thanks to you five for doing this weeks challenge. Hopefully it helped you practice skills you don’t normally use.. that’s what we’re trying to do here at @poetryportal .. get you to equip your arsenal of creative writing techniques so that you will stay fresh, all day every day, and to learn to think outsite the box more creatively. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to prep next week’s challenge.. *waves as the camera zooms out and the credits roll*

After the Storm

After the storm

The sun shines

The triumphant cry

The flood you expected watered your soul

Buried but now blossomed

You broke the mold

Your soul sold

Bought back with interest

But worth the price

Because nothing could measure up

To who you are now

After the storm

[peaceandpono-blog]

Commencement

Leaves falling

Warm hues of the rainbow

My future staring at me

As they hit the ground

This path once dark

Covered with shadows of the old me

wind kissed my skin as I stepped out into the world

lifted me above life

carried me carelessly through the day

reminding me with rosy cheeks

that I was indeed alive

My mother knows how to break my heart in the softest ways. Being ours are connected

Vessel to vessel

Beat to beat

Her pain is mine

Her anxiety is mine

Her peace is mine

Her love is mine

When her heart is mishandled a crack splinters across mine. Connected always

Being black is a damn blessing and one hell of a gift, fuck you mean? Tell whoever makes you feel like it’s a curse or something bad to get they lives checked. We poppin, fam.
