Bohemia

Bohemia Daydreamia
Soul Glow Afro Oh No
You Go
Girl
Fist up Pro Black
All that and a bag of
Chips
Wide Hips Full Lips
Pearly Whites
Dyn-o-mite
Brown skin that she's in
head thrown back in laughter
Indulge in a piece of her
energy
as the wind carries her
slim gold hoops & giant bangles
examining you from every angle
knowledge slips from her fountain
whoopin'hollerin'twistin'shoutin
then slowly drifting in its pace
envision the rainbow across her face
Diaspora - we all relate
Your sista, my sista, our sista
In Love is her place

That was Then, This is Now

                                

That was then, this is now

We can’t go back in time

You chose the path you

Thought was straight

My love for you was blind

I thought that we were meant

To be. I loved with blinders on

And now you’re back

But this is now,

The love I had is gone.

That was then, this is now

I just don’t feel the same

All the love I had for you,

To you was just a game.

You went your way, and I went mine,

but look where we are now?

Can we start all over again?

I just cannot see how.

The grass was not so green, as

You came to the end of your path

How long did it take for you to

Figure it out? You’re smart, you

Do the math.

That was then, this is now

My blinders are finally gone

And now I see clear as day

So my choice is to just move on!
