Somewhere in Brooklyn
lives a woman
who loves a man
a breadth away
but not too far
a cyclic bohemian
stalks patterned duskiness
strapped saddle boots
steps willful
strong stride; high full thighs
his part of town
while mislay carelessness
somewhere in Brooklyn
a Dominican woman linger
unyielding aged guise
cleave her mans root abreast bosom
for this woman love carriage true
invested nights without knowing
castle her mans loyalty a keepsake
to foreign beauty
yet; an enigma invades
a bed entrusted
she is his gladiator
on this side of town...
where feet; gargoyle claw
hooking iron rods
rattle against freshly painted walls
crawling inside his ladylove
Cartier scent fuse
warmed mango bloom
vanquish the room
while somewhere in Brooklyn
a Dominican woman
chase premonition's
await phone whisper's
admission of allegiance
the satisfied call
quick click "goodbye"
and he continues...
angle pole prod
the surrogate cyclic bohemian
on this side of town...

OPEN LETTER FROM EDITOR (NEW BOOK "PROSE, ESSAY AND SHORT STORIES OF A NYMPHOMANIAC"
FEBRUARY 2011
OPEN LETTER TO LEPADAH
Lydia Percy,
I was just writing/researching for a new chapter when I noticed your email. Nice... It had my mind thinking about other aspects of your creativity!
I do not know what your goals are. I do not know if you like when I want to be involved by editing or suggesting working together. I cant read your mind, but...I do know I want to be your "creative conscious" if you like that idea. I do not know a poet as good as you...well ok maybe Bob Dylan. I do know a lot of poets, and am performing at Step to the Stool saturday. I am unprepared.
I am not a professional guitarist, but I might be able to put some simple passive guitar behind your words like the piece you sent. That way you dont have to worry about copyrights.
Goodnight, get well.
Larry Mayfield
Editor
OPEN LETTER TO LEPADAH
Dear Lydia.
My friend and editor a creative writing instructor, now retired. I played him the audio of your piece. He had many compliments. Many.

Editor
OPEN LETTER TO LEPADAH
Dear Lydia,
I can edit you much better if I can hear the spoken word like this.
I realize spoken word carries itself differently than on paper.
Let's put our minds together and figure out how one makes an audio and text carry the same weight.
I have seen spoken word have much less effect on paper and am determined to find a way to give it power when written.

"Just Thinking About You" A Poem
Just Thinking About You (A Poem)
"I was just thinking about you"
cardinal phrase, a thought
something bought
fresh and oh so brand new
"I was just thinking about you"
the man I call "baby"
erstwhile lapse "daddy"
mid taffeta twinkle
"I love ... " oh no
"I meant ..."
unable to conceal
feelings a peel
"I meant; dig you baby"
"yeah, I dig you baby"
err up under your singing "Happy Feeling"
"huh! now how you go and do that?" he say
"ha, ha, my natured stumbler"
dragoon jaded trinkets
settled wee wrist
"right! ha, ha how you go and do that?" he say
admit the genius
shy ebon Queen
bedtime conversation of revolution
possibly our own
brave hearts fully grown
able vibes for Huey, Cleaver, Bunchy ...
Boondocks and The Roots
carry secret of Orishas
seasoned outer limits
sexually video taped
our escapades; there would be no escape
"you're down; all the way down?"
prepare to go forward
ideas singing new notes
vast voices
"so you said ... you love ... right!"
"now how you go and do that?" he say
indulge one need to appease; please
words that weep ... one unconscious

your poems are never ever boring...nor are they lightly surfaced...
as always they slow my reading so as not to miss a nuance...and I am challenged and with a angstrom of luck, I will learn something new

Inside Man
Arise and shine
staggering senses
maiden, untapped and adopt
an aching Nubian dryad
thus be
unearth clever perfumes
inflections reverberating heady epistle
daringly compete to quiver free
free from all morning, day and evening
you have become hot liquid
tub water rising above ankles
soaking, steaming orifices
psyche impenetrable
I can't leave
not even in dreams

The Dark Knight
Arrest one at the dawn
adoring you an epic essay
our clandestine signifying
lingual enclosed a butterfly
letters cryptic notions
logic pegged the worn scrabble board
ordained Valentine
anonymous
the vague daylight
bastille precious moments
imbued with polemic, sonnets
our assembly
utterances under a whisper
brushing ears
to gather nearer my dear
beholding onto and until
you speak of no more
