Her poetry deals with problems of feminism, love, passion, and race and identity. The reader is prompted to consider the depth of her meaning by the author’s concise language, use of punctuation, and usage of lowercase characters.

But it healed and became whole when you came into my life.

Being near you I know that all will be fine.

Your love gives me wings, you’ve taught me to fly.

Before you my life was so dark and so grey,

But you brought the sunshine to brighten my day.

All pain and struggle slides out of my world,

And all is so perfect because I’m your girl.

A red rose breathes of true love,

Flying on the wings of a falcon,

As pure white as a dove,

Dew drops sparkle on the grass,

And fade away at the tips,

I reach down in paradise,

And kiss your sweet lips.

Please let me know that it’s true,

That all of my lifetime,

I will be here with you.

I was so giddy and happy to know that you’re mine.

I still can’t believe that you choose to be here,

I still have goosebumps every time you draw near.

You tickle my soul and make my heart race,

Forever and always I will picture your face.

This message I’m sending is only for you,

And now I hope you know my love is so true.

11. I was so very young the first time we met,

I was not able to realize your beauty just yet.

But then I got older and began to feel things,

It was as if you had learned how to pluck my heart strings.

And I’d giggle and try to make you look at me,

Because something in your eyes made me feel so free.

Then one day it happened a moment so fine,

We realized that I’m yours and that you are mine.

And now I look back and know that it’s true,

That from the beginning, I was meant only for you.
