battle axe

Here I am --
stepping to you with a
twelve-gauge lyrically,
stomping out your
“man, she can’t blow!” skepticism
with my booty-kicking
high-heeled shoes on a cocksure foot
to put an inkling in your head.

I imbibe the lyrical juice
that kicks like woodroot kisses
goldenseal for your fancy.
I’m not a baby anymore, see,
I’m just a pleasure-giver
stacked with little ditties that
make you sweat oceans like kisses
from that sweet-lipped brotha
whose cedarwood and juniper scent
penetrates your nasal cavity.
I got flow like streams
with a strictly coherent babble
swilling a siren song for all those
poets of the world who try to horde the word
why not tip your hat and share the cipher, but
some misguided egos click like legos
and move in small circles like
high-school popularity --
assassinating my lines
living in dread of being toppled
from imaginary poetic kingdoms.
If that is how you vibe,
stand as tall as trees,
‘cause one day you will be fell
by your own poetic axe
and selfishness will lodge
deep within your throat leaving your poetry
gasping for new life breathed through the
plagiarized styles of us outcast versifiers.

Before you cut off my limbs
try to recognize that ink flows through my veins,
and I will continue to pack my lip
with that old schtick called POWER
that’s my unwavering vow…
HOW U LIKE ME NOW?!
