Let’s write about misconception
Miss Jamie
an exception
of talent
a word smith
with no deception
and me
girl from the south
trying to visualize
change
flowing rhyme from fingertips
straight outta my pen
to my mouth
we are different
yet the same
but society we tell
us we need to change
each to his own
fend for yourself
but I refute the nonsense
of such a notion
'cause we're a REVOLUTION
and our pens
they gonna create a commotion
leading to a solution
I'm tired of divide
he said
she said
'cause they wanna deride
this plan
to unite us
woman
child
and man
we all bleed red
DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID ?
we all bleed red
and this movement to
separate us
by black and white
WELL IT AIN'T RIGHT
and so I write
each wrong I see
every day
a new word play
to make other's notice
ME
and YOU
NOLA P
and Jamie Bond
one spirit
but the pen of two
POETS MENDING THE WORLD
ONE UNMUTED WORD AT A TIME
POETRY IS OUR COMMON GLUE
AND LOVE FOR OUR BROTHER
WELL, THAT'S OUR RHYME
Jamie, what say you ?
NOLA...P
(Nothing Out There Like A...POET)
~~ Lisa D McCraw
Nola;
you are right we are in this fight
We start with US
to mend the great divide
Nowhere else can you find
Absence of race except on a page
Because our hearts, spirits and minds eye
Only identify
with what’s wrong with writes
We write it out
We shout about it
We write our wrongs
We be bout it bout it
We all hope to be heard
We all pray the inspiring verb
That makes love an action word
And so we scribe like
the ink is bleeding in splotches
We scream thru our ink
like we cant hear our cries
Then we poetically serenade
the restless eyes with our scribes
Poets united
in ever crevice of the world
on every corner
We unmute our ink;
till our pens look like bullhorns
Tryna save lives
one ghetto at a time
and avoid the coroner
So NOLA and ME …IBJB in Unmuted ink!
We scribe on like it’s a prescription pad
In an effort to uplift the masses!
Gooooo POETS gooooooooo

BURNING ICE
Every dammn time I try to do it right?
It seems as if it evolves into a fight
Every dammn time I try to please you
You knock my efforts down with anything I do
Why is it that any and every dammn time I try?
You get me upset to where I’ll almost cry
When I get to this point.. what's the point...
Another hour gone by and I'm feeling unproductive
Another night gone by and feeling unseductive
Laundry in the hall I'm feeling very reluctant
About to go to bed and just say fuck it!
Tired of the shit and feeling real crazy
In my mind I say fuck him I’ll show his ass lazy
~~ IBJB
Sorry darling for causing such a negative vibe
You know how much I love you right
So let me melt the rest of this burning ice
No more hours will go by being a lazy ass
So let's start with me bringing you Breakfast in bed
And don't worry about the laundry I have it on spin
After that the lawn outside sure needs a trim
Oh no need to thank on these chores I did
It's the least I can after all that was said
But I want you feel how much I really love you
And what better place then in our bed.
~~ Mark Nielson
A LEE LEE AND JAMIE COLLAB [:)]
Loud Quiet Noise
I have a lot to be grateful for
So I need to stop complaining
I've vowed to
Pay more attention to me and my life
As opposed to
Everything else in my surroundings
If I don’t like it
I have to be responsible enough
To take the initiative and change it
A nervous breakdown is not in my future plans
I'm stronger than that
I need to get more on the ball and focus on goals
Do some major inner improvements
Start getting more serious about my future
And if it bothers me then I’ll be making plans to change it
Period!
And if I can’t say something good then I won’t
It’s natural to feel down and out
But complaining and not doing anything about it
is self destruction
So there!!
~~ IBJB
I
know there's no "I" in TEAM but I seem to be alone in crowded rooms
Consumed a cup of bitterness with a shot of lonely Am I the only one who
feels this way Lay alone at night with no one to hold me Mama told me
to love myself and have a plan for my future Capture time and don't
make haste Don't waste time and energy on negativity God blessed thee
with breath in my lungs Enough with the depressing songs that I've sung
I've hung onto miserable melodies way too long Long overdue for my
happy ending Start cleansing my heart and mind Find my self esteem and
let it beam like ultraviolet rays Stay positive and proactive Because I
only have one life to live

Solitariness
The hours to unhappiness
Have been a gradual one
Love not given back in full measure
I've retreated and will not give it either…
Responses were necessary, so vital…
But there were none
And now a protective coating emerges
Thin but with time and only time it can heal
But you keep messing with me, with my heart
Its not healing, scar tissue forms, resentment builds ~
Love is Lost! Wave goodbye…
Alone…
Such a sad word
makes you cling to whatever you thought was necessary
Then one day; you know for both of you that it isn’t,
it couldn’t be enough~
The hours wasted! The time lost forever
All the shared things that could and should have meant so much more
have been diminished~
Leaving what? Hurt? Time wasted?
Love unfulfilled and then
Lies
~~ IBJB
Lies that rock the core and foundation of your being...
Desecrating and obliterating the armor of truth and trust...
Trust no longer there, leaving the remnants of love slowly seeping out and bare.
You’re masquerading and perpetrating an image of you for me to see.
Your spirit was not of my spirit, therefore demonstrating a reality of truth that we were truly never meant to be.
A distraction and dissatisfaction of a man you could never be...a man I fully see was never meant for me.
So, I move on with the memories of a love unrequited.
A love caught between the vortex of 3D fantasy and reality.
I'm living the reality of your twisted fantasy of what could have been...if only...
If only you could have understood and completely desired the fruit, heart and soul of my majestic womanhood ...
If
only you would have valued, honored and respected the integrity of
trust...the adulterated content of your unsavory character was clouded,
so you soured truth with the complexity of Lies

THIS BE US!!!
he feels as though
JAMIE BOND is a mystery wants to know more about me
but I had to stop em in his tracks and tell em that
there’s ELEMENTS OF ME that only JODI knows
but you'll hear about them if you STAY IN THE KNOW
told em sometimes I shape shift with DIONNA as SHADOW LURKER
other times I got paper cuts like I AM WITTENINPAIN
I’m not ashamed to write out loud when my PENS IN PAIN
keep tha middle finger up most of the time but heyyy
there are days when I’m feeling empowered and geared up
when I’M REPPING BRICK CITY thinkin whos' that peepin thru my window
its an EZ TRIPLE THREAT while I’m feeling FABULOSITY
sitting ON LOVE SEAT GROUP WIT KING SHARK CHASE with some grapes
but then most times I think I’M UNMUTING MY INK
but if you want to know WHAT’S THA 411 then that’s
WHAT’S IN THE NEWS
most times I be wit QUISE IN HIS NOTEBOOK or BLAZIN THA MIC with
P.O.E.TS YOU KNOW
PEOPLE OF EXTRAORDINARY TALENT SUCH AS BLAQ ICE
but I’m a DOPE POET if you ask me check with BARBARA TRAWICK on that tho
I stay in BEAST MODE and just so you know its not a defense mechanism its survival mode
most times I act like a NILISTIC SOULDIER with the world on my shoulders
I got word play for days ask FINALE how OFF THE WALL POETRY can get
on WTF WEDNESDAYS my pen spurts in leaps of growth like your super locs
I got this ink game on lock because I have a POETIC OLD SOUL
But don’t get too comfortable I’m one of THE 5 DEADLY VENOM'S
I'm Da CHAMP at this right here with my FLOWETIC FLO!
FLOWETIC JUSTICE bleeds more words than me
I be THINKINBOUTSOMETHING with DJ DEAN,
LAURIE and or KELLI and REBE
their sounds easily soothe the beast in me
or JOSKI who can bring out the freak in me
MURDER INK we kill ya no questions asked
and you see me wit TAMMY but I haven’t seen
DIONNA, DAISIES OR FABS hands
I SCRIBE during the day but with MANGUS KHAN I SCRIBE AFTER DARK too
THE VILLAGE SPEAKS to the INNER CHILD in me
While listening to the WORDS OF WILLIAM
making me want to do cartwheels and go play with MOLLY in tha park
sometimes I hide in my intricate moments of chaos tree house
over in KELLI SONGBIRDS GARDEN
then inhale phrases as I BREATHE THRU PAPER
only when my sheets are no less than 800 I scribe on Egyptian cotton
I can be seen verbally painting pictures at THE ARTISTS LOUNGE with my pen
Or dancing to NOIRS POETIC JAZZ BISTRO
MY VERBAL INK needs beast mode and meat tho as a MIDDAY FIX
gimme croutons and Italian style ink dressing
and all the salad bar fixings in BAD BOYS KITCHEN
I spyt ORIGINAL POETRY AFTER DARK gimme snaps claps and DAPS
my pen my pad is CHYNA BLUE I’m easily approachable
but still an UNWRITTEN LADY EXCLUSIVE I’m a concrete poetess
I’m an INFINITE POET that doesn’t fit in Sci-Fi genres
I can’t live in subliminal
I AM A POET AND JUST LIKE YOU…
I’M A PEACEFUL OUTSIDER EXPECTING TRUTH
so sometimes I just SPEAK YO PIECE on RE-VERSE wit ANDY
he gave me A SNAKE WITH A FLOWER
I SPEAK EASY WITH NYLA AND Q about any penned issues
you get advice and homework there
picture prompts and assignments
free-writes and pay homage and sometimes ...
sometimes I don’t ever post
I still like the inbox of most of you folks
and I drop it in there; simply smile like I just wrote a love letter
tell KELLZ GRAMMER I GOT SO MANY EMOTIONZ stuck in my chest
that the TAMMY JONES 30/30 snippet I’ll be doin it for a long time
hoping someday PLANTED DAISIES can help me CAPTURE MOMENTS
during my WRITERS FURY IN THOSE DRAMA HOURS
C. RILES IN KNOWLEDGE SAID KNOW THE LEDGE
This is why I CRY OUT with my VERSES because GODSENT
THE WATCHER OF 13 to look over me
so that I don’t become a VICTIM OF THE GAME AND GET MANIPULATED
that’s how LYFE IS… TODD SMITH can attest to that
these EVERYDAY STORIES I’m sure you heard of them before tho
I’ll be happy to tell you all about it On IBJB TV
meet me on the island of ST. CLINTON I’m a SPACE POET by heart
I’m a MADD WRITAH google plus me if you don’t believe it!
~~ IBJB
I KNOW I LEFT A FEW OUT
PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF AND KEEP IT GOING
