What I Want For You

By: KB 9.26.14

I want her to have all that her heart desires

But I know I cannot afford a lot of material things

Hell I even had a conversation about downsizing and possible upgrading rings

But none of that is important they are just trinkets and shiny things

What I can provide an abundance of does not have a “bling”

I can provide a Biblical love, one that sees, hopes, and endures

And hug and laughter in heaps and bounds

I can provide devotion and support in ways that will astound

I can be there for you tried and true blue

None of this can be really measured on a value scale

But it is what I want for you

Poetry & Essays

I wanted to create a forum for my poetry and short stories.

My poetry is the ultimate free expression of my inner most thoughts. My written word is all me without constraint of social norms and political correctness.

My pen name for writing is Muslim in origin and taken from both male and female Kifah (f) - struggle or fight. I chose this name because, like Miss Sophia in The Color Purple "all my life I had to fight"
Jari (m) I chose this name because it means powerful, brave and it speaks to my nature of being me in a world that constantly tells me that I am not allowed to be.

I am both masculine and feminine and I am a brave warrior who is un-apologetically me!

I am a writer to my marrow; it's part of my DNA, a generational gift. My grandmother wrote the most beautifully detailed journal that we found after her death. My mother is a published author - several nursing and nursing management articles. Now, I too have reached a place of maturation where I feel it's time to share my gift with the world.

This page will contain essays, poetry and short stories that covey the real and raw emotions of love and life through my lens. Who am I? I'm a lot of things to a lot of people so I'll try my best to utilize the various labels: Christian, Counselor, African American (Afro-Irish, Native) female, lesbian, co-parent, sister, aunt, lover, friend, writer, etc....

I wrote many of these pieces for my Senior Year Project for New College in 2006. It's been a long journey since then and I had a previous attempt at posting my work; the task became daunting and I all but stopped writing altogether...now, I'm back with a vengeance. I write new pieces DAILY.

The many facets of my life will ALL show as I continue to write
