D-Xirable Poems! My Favorite Tupac Poems!

Hello, my wonderful and amazing loves!

Today is Tupac's birthday. He's another one of my favorite rappers. My favorite songs by him are "Brenda's Got a Baby", "Dear Mama", "Keep Ya Head Up", "I Ain't Mad at Cha", "Hail Mary", and "Changes". Not only am I fan of his music but I'm a fan of his poetry as well. His poems are beautiful and deep, further showing his talent and complexity. He was a great actor too! In honor of his birthday, I decided to post some of my favorite poems by him. All of these poems are beautiful!

In the Depths of Solitude: Dedicated 2 Me

I exist in the depths of solitude

pondering my true goal

Trying 2 find peace of mind

and still preserve my soul

Constantly yearning 2 be accepted

and from all receive respect

Never compromising but sometimes risky

and that is my only regret

A young heart with an old soul

how can there be peace

How can I be in the depths of solitude

when there R 2 inside of me

This duo within me causes

the perfect opportunity

2 learn and live twice as fast

as those who accept simplicity

*As a fellow Gemini, I can completely relate to this poem.

Sometimes I Cry (Poem)

Sometimes when I'm alone

I cry because I'm on my own

The tears I cry R bitter and warm

They flow with life but take no form

I cry because my heart is torn

and I find it difficult 2 carry on

If I had an ear 2 confide in

I would cry among my treasured friends

But who do u know that stops that long

To help another carry on

The world moves fast and it would rather pass u by

than 2 stop and c what makes u cry

It's painful and sad and sometimes I cry

and no one cares about why.

Under the Skies Above: After the Miscarriage

My child is out there somewhere

under the skies above

waiting anxiously 4 u and me

2 bless it with our love

A part of me a part of u

and a part of this love we share

will protect my unborn child

who lives dormant out there somewhere

Sometimes in my dreams

I imagine what it would be like

How could I properly guide him

when even I don't know what's right

Whether he is born in wealth or poverty

there will be no deficiency in love

I welcome this gift of life

given from GOD under the skies above

What is it That I Search 4

I know not what I search 4

But I know I have yet 2 find it,

Because it is invisible 2 the eye

My heart must search 4 it blinded.

And if by chance I find it,

Will I know my mission is achieved?

Can one come 2 conclusions,

Before the question is conceived?

Just as no one knows

what lies beyond the shore,

I will never find the answer 2

what it is that I search 4

*I love this poem because I'm searching for something too, and I'm not sure if I will find it.

God (Poem)

when I was alone and had nothing

I asked 4 a friend 2 help me bear the

pain no one came except . . . God

when I needed a breath 2 rise

from my sleep no one could

help me except . . . God

when all I saw was sadness

and I needed answers no one

heard me except . . . . God

so when I'm asked who I

give my unconditional love 2

Look For No other Name

except . . . GOD!

*I LOVE this poem! How can I not love a moving poem about God? When no one else is there, God is ALWAYS there!

Black Woman: 4 Marquita

The day I met u I saw strength

and I knew from that point on

that u were pure woman 2 me

possessing a spirit that was strong

I want smiles 2 replace the sorrow

that u have encountered in the past

and since it was strength that attracted me 2 u

it will take strength 2 make it last

My negative side will attempt 2 change u

but please fight that with your all

it will be your strength that keep us both standing

while others around us fall

*"It will be your strength that keep us both standing while others around us fall". So powerful!

Love Is Just Complicated

you ask me 2 communicate

what it is I feel within

I search 4 words 2 assist

but I find none 2 help me begin

I guess love is just complicated

Love

just

complicated.

I thought I knew my heart's desire

I thought I quenched my burning fire

I thought I wanted "A"

But "A" was 2 mixed up with "B"

Then "C" made me more confused

So "A" turned off me and "B" feels

better. "C" is upset and lonely

and me, I think Love is complicated.

Love

just

complicated.

*He sounds like me when it comes to love, it is complicated!

Why Must U Be Unfaithful (4 Women)

MEN!

u shouldn't listen 2 your selfish heart

It doesn't really have a brain

Besides keeping u alive

Its existence is in vain

"How could I be so mean,

and say your heart has no place?"

Because mortal men fall in love again

as fast as they changed their face

I may be cruel, but think awhile about

The hearts that u have broken

Match that with the empty vows

and broken promises u've spoken

I am not saying females R perfect

Because men we know it's not true

But why must u be unfaithful

If her heart is true 2 u!!!!

*This poem is so true and so beautiful!

The Power of a Smile (4 Renée)

The power of a gun can kill

and the power of Fire can Burn

The power of wind can chill

and the power of the mind can learn

The power of anger can rage

inside until it tears u apart

But the Power of a Smile

especially yours can heal a frozen Heart

*My favorite line - "and the power of the mind can learn".

Jada

U R the omega of my heart

The foundation 4 my conception of Love

When I think of what a black woman should be

Its u that I First think of

U will never fully understand

How Deeply my Heart Feels 4 u

I worry that we'll grow apart

And I'll end up losing u

U bring me 2 climax without sex

And u do it all with regal grace

U r my heart in Human Form

A Friend I could never replace

*This one is my absolute favorite one! It's so beautifully written and sweet! Love it!

When Ure Hero Falls: 4 My Hero (My Mother)

When your hero falls from grace

all fairy tales R uncovered

myths exposed and pain magnified

the greatest pain discovered

u taught me 2 be strong

but I'm confused 2 c u so weak

u said never 2 give up

and it hurts 2 c u welcome defeat

when ure Hero falls so do the stars

and so does the perception of tomorrow

without my Hero there is only

me alone 2 deal with my sorrow.

your Heart ceases 2 work

and your soul is is not happy at all

what R u expected 2 do

when ure only Hero falls

A River That Flows Forever (Poem)

As long as some suffer

The River Flows Forever

As long as there is pain

The River Flows Forever

As strong as a smile can be

The River Will Flow Forever

And as long as u R with me

we'll ride the River Together

*"We'll ride the River Together". The ending to this poem is brilliant!

The Promise

"I will give u Liberty, But First give me ure spirit,

This I must confiscate Because the evil Fear it."

I too would be afraid of passion governed by reason

An open mind 2 trying times when corruption is in season

The promise that they claim

2 be completely true

is hypocrisy at its finest

A trick 2 silence u

never will I Believe a promise

from the masters of the Art

Trickery does not succeed

with those with Honest Hearts

So I Say GOODBYE (Nov 20)

I'm going in2 this not knowing what I'll find

but I've decided 2 follow my heart and abandon my mind

and if there be pain I know that at least I gave my all

and it is better 2 have loved and lost than 2 not love at all

In the morning I may wake 2 smile or maybe 2 cry

but first 2 those of my past I must say goodbye

*My favorite line - "but I've decided 2 follow my heart and abandon my mind".

In The Event of my Demise (Poem)

In the event of my Demise

when my heart can beat no more

I hope I die for a principle

or a belief that I had lived 4

I will die before my time

Because I feel the shadow's depth

so much I wanted 2 accomplish

Before I reached my death

I have come 2 grips with the possibility

and wiped the last tear from my eyes

I loved all who were positive

In the event of my Demise!

Hope you enjoyed the poetry and post! Happy birthday, Tupac!

With love,

LaTasha B.

D-Xirable Poem! Kent M. Keith "The Paradoxical Commandments"!

Hello, my wonderful and amazing loves!

Here is another one of my fave poems. It's "The Paradoxical Commandments" by Kent M. Keith. I love how this poem encourages you to stay positive despite the negatives. I love how it tells us to love people anyway, to do good anyway, to succeed anyway, to be honest anyway, to think big anyway, to build anyway, to help people anyway, and to do your best. It's a very encouraging and inspiring poem.

The Paradoxical Commandments

By Kent M. Keith

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.

Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.

Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.

Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.

Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you have anyway.

I hope you enjoyed the post and poem by Kent M. Keith!

With love,

LaTasha B.

D-Xirable Poem! Deborah Ann "Blessed"!

Hello, my wonderful and amazing loves!

I came across this beautiful poem a while ago. It's called "Blessed" by Deborah Ann. I think it's a great poem to read whenever you're having a bad day. It's so encouraging, inspiring, and uplifting.

Blessed!

By deborah ann

Look at me,

I am wonderfully made

I am so delighted to be

skillfully, wonderfully made and formed

into marvelous ~ wonderful me.

Look at me,

I am fearfully made

I am so glad to be

brilliantly, amazingly made and formed

into the likeness ~ of Thee.

Look at yourself,

look at what God has made

I am so happy for you

magnificently, superbly made and formed

fearfully, skillfully ~ wonderful you.

Look at us,

look who we’ve become

now that our life has been transformed

we’re so very blessed to be

fearfully, wonderfully made and formed!

I hope you enjoyed the post and poem by Deborah Ann!

Love always,
LaTasha B.

A D-Xirable Poem and a D-Xirably Beautiful Wedding! (E.E. Cummings "I Carry Your Heart")

Hello, my wonderful and amazing loves!

The wedding of one of my childhood friends, Tabitha, and her husband, Chris!
Her sister, my other childhood friend, Rachael, is in the blue dress!

"I Carry Your Heart" by E.E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in

my heart) i am never without it (anywhere

i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want

no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

When I read this poem by E.E. Cummings, I immediately felt like it needed to be included with this blog post! It's so beautiful and so sweet, just like my childhood friend's wedding!

My childhood friend, Tabitha, and her husband Chris!
She looks so beautiful and so happy! Love it!

My childhood friend, Tabitha, and her husband Chris!

One of my childhood friends (since Elementary school) got married yesterday! My childhood friend, Tabitha, married her boyfriend of 5 years, Christopher, and the father of their son, Christopher Jr. I'm not that big on going to weddings but I'm glad that my little sister, Nico, encouraged me to go. It was really sweet and cute, and I enjoyed watching my childhood friend become a beautiful wife since she's already a wonderful mother.
