No Fuss

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

No Fuss You don’t make a fuss over me Don’t spend time trying to convince me of my beauty You can careless about the style of my hair Make-up on or off, you never seem to care I can think through an outfit all day long To you it’s nothing different Chances are you won’t remember a thing I had on I don’t remember the last time you looked me in the eyes Just to tell me that I’m beautiful Come on, really you still can’t understand why I’m not making a fuss as I walk out the door.

Love Has No Recession-Review by Al-Lateef Farmer

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

When I first read that Kindred the Family Soul titled their album Love Has No Recession, I immediately anticipated an album filled with love songs, with the two lovers guiding us on journey through the Dantlzer household. However, when I listened to the album, I realized the married couple of over thirteen years were making a plea; a plea to our community, to our country, to each other, that love is in need of love today… more than ever! The album is a throwback soul album, socially relevant, yet for lovers only. It’s been nearly three years since their last … Continue reading Love Has No Recession-Review by Al-Lateef Farmer

Timeless

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

Timeless In the Winter’s snow there was no holding me. Spring flowers bloomed and I plucked them alone. Summer rain, I watched from the window; Where were you?

In no time I was settling for what felt like free. Now I rest my head on shoulders; that don’t belong to you. Dance to music that reminds me There is … Continue reading Timeless

Imperfections of the Soul

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

Imperfections of the Soul   I’m glad you helped me: to make a fool of myself one more time. Helped me realize how easy it is to lose focus on what matters. Thanks for making me say things. I thought I could never say again. For helping me believe there has to be “better” out there, yet you’re not it. I’m glad you helped me: to understand that it’s too late for apologies, or simply realize everything that glitters definitely isn’t gold. Thank you for making me know I can feel pleasure, when I thought I never would again.   … Continue reading Imperfections of the Soul

Perfect Stranger

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

Perfect Stranger   In the arms of a stranger, I search for my sanctuary. I come to you for the familiar touch of your hands.         The way you command my every move when we are together As if you know all about what I need. Yet you know nothing about me or my needs. You are merely a stranger.   Clearly, I am not convinced of your abilities to understand without understanding. Instead, I exhaust myself in the pleasures of what you do and not what you say you do. You are merely a stranger. I … Continue reading Perfect Stranger
