Bio Note: I am well-known as a LOVE poet, distinguished scholar and TV persona. I am an “All American Scholar Award “ recipient (2008).

Don't Tell Me
Don’t tell me I am beautiful; Don’t tell me I am strong; Just tell me you will comfort me In my uncomfort zone When I am weak and tired And energy is gone; When make-up’s not required; Or neither silicon; When high heels are not needed And polished manicure, And sleepers are the only ones That soothe me on the tours Between the kitchen cabinets, The fridge, the stove, the mail… Just tell me you will comfort me In those unpleasant days. …Then we can walk together Connected hand-in hand.
