One of A Kind

Sade Adu is my sweetest taboo In my composition is where I find refuge When I get to thinking, I will never stop Nothing's more important than a person's own thoughts I'll make Maya Angelou admire and Langston Hughes languish From the highest points of ecstasy to the lowest points of anguish Ever since I could pick up a pen I was determined to get it in She gave me the gift, the gift of poetry Ever since I was youngin', reciting poems to me Haiku, cinquain, fake literal Hers stayed in my mind, never ephemeral She drew from many subjects Suicide, love, drugs only scratched the surface Faith, religion. With such precision, she exercised her right hand and gave definition for life Verses with such meaning Held me afloat when my life was careening In the deep end, couldn't pull me out But you assured me and the words came out Gave me hope You showed me the power of words x 2 My goddess, you're one of a kind Your poetry, it blows my mind Your lines over flow with love I'm glad that I'm your son "In a blizzard, there lies a 'plethora of excellence' In the springtime the cycle bursts with "Glory" The new season gives birth experiences and lessons learned Only they who are in tune know the story" That was written by mom for my 19th birthday I love it death. I read it every day She's the reason why I write She taught me wordplay "Never limit yourself and how you are as a man is greater than wealth" "Walk a path with God, be a leader, defy the odds" Miraculous, meticulous She created a lyricist When I thought I was nothing, she told me I was something You made me a man. Forever I owe Your sacrifices, I promise, you'll get paid back 100 fold I love you
