Life has made us beyond just friends
Charlie Parker With Strings
Milford Graves said Charlie didn't want no strings
but had to eat feed his habit
Charlie just wanted to blow his horn
wild as the wind
wild as the wind
Sonny said My Brother the Wind
X said I am the Wind
a pleasure to my people
I am the sun
a pleasure to my people
Ra Ra
our love
blood mixed with love
beyond physical
love deeper than love
we don't even understand
deeper than Nancy/ Ronnie
Elijah/Clara
Malcolm/Betty
Amiri/Amina
deeper still
Martin/Coretta
go deeper nigguh
deep down to the purple funk of love
love mama taught
transcend human
divine love
we deny exists
in our terribleness
Baraka said
let me hold you
Like Verdia held her husband
when he returned for love
she awaited him
arms wide as the sky
embracing sins
she care nothing about
love is greater than sin
sin is a foolish thing
confounding simple minds
minds of fools
fools rush beyond love to nothingness and dread
what is sin but the beginning of love
love is drama
the joy and pain of love
sunshine and rain
Franky B said
Franky B said
no matter
love came upon us that day
will you deny
miss wonderful
black and beautiful
sucking my soul into yours
when you walked upon mewill you deny
miss wonderful
black and beautiful
sucking my soul into yours
outside Dwindell Hall
black and beautiful
coming down the hill
a bird in flight to love
and here we are
decades later
still friends
in spite of it all
what power is greater
God is Love
life is simply wonderful.
Think about it, my dear.
Think about the love of Verdia
who taught us both how to love
did we learn the lesson
from the Master Teacher?
think about Verdia
no shame in her love
pure simple straight no chaser
tell me lies all night son in law
spit in my face all night tellin lies
son in law
drink that plum wine and lie
while I tell you the truth of my heart
my life
you real a real nigguh X son
solid don't break solid don't break
youngsters say
solid. don't break.
