A pigment that fused with the onset of life bound by a covenant of kings and queens. Looking forward it's still moved by a culture of great knowledge and innovation. What is in me is clearly visible by ones sight however judgement can be resolute. Take heed from whence we came and rely on wisdom centering our moral compass. My melanin is in me but not always of me so see me, all of me for my characters sake. by A E Robinson 2/28/26

Melanin
She gracefully tastes her wine after a gentle swirl followed by a prolonged inhale taking in the full bodied essence. Dressed to the nines from lid to foot, her impeccable style compelled any man or woman to take notice. Her eyes hidden behind an exclusive pair of Hermes large tortis shell sunglasses completed the ensemble. Less I forget her long regal neckline, ears and wrists were dripped in the finest 24K along with a Patek Philippe time piece. She most seemingly screamed of old money and as I spied the owners suite key card at her side, the evidence was clear. Alone this goddess traveled but why. Truly capable of having any man alive, her ring finger was naked for all to see... hmmm. She knew how to travel in opulent luxury judging how her butler and staff moved to accommodate her desires, it was epic. She rose and one hand gently took the rail on the upper deck of the most luxurious ship on earth, views not to be denied. The sun slowly setting, she removed her glasses to reveal her pearly grey eyes. I swear a tear dropped in the sunset ****** by A E Robinson. 2/28/26

Luxury Travel
Coming from afar to ravage and malign Designed to destroy without cause We pray for deliverance from above A cunning virus that cares not about age, race, color, *** or creed We pray for families, first responders and our leaders 2019 you supposedly arrived taking lives across the globe We pray for peace, comfort and healing to the victims 2020 you consumed world economies to the brink of collapse We pray.

Often we struggle to communicate without understanding... YES we listen, but fail to hear one another. Playing the arrogance game of who is right or wrong, failing to concede our position out of boastful pride. We starve ourselves attempting to get it accurate, when the process is simple. Be open and honest, concede your position now and then and always listen instantly.

Communications Struggle.
Leaves morph into a colorful myriad of rainbow-like brilliant colors. From afar we are so overwhelmed by the beauty of raw nature Painted, drawn or photographed the occular muscle is in heightened awareness. Drink it in as you are a witness to one of Gods many wonders. Always a Season to remember, always a Season to be revered.

Season
Longing for my second home that native land of true patriots vast her glowing heart and teaming with pride You are family to me as my heart connects with yours We have created memories and shared life long dreams Never too far away the MAPLE DISTANCE replenishes my soul and recharge that inner battery lifting me back up to peace Family, friends and food home, health and happiness combine to spread love over the bridge of life.

Maple Distance
I've taken the Time and given myself Space to compose Provoked by none other than my excessive mind riddled in thought In portrait mode when I should be detailed in landscape mode Seeing the full picture not just what's in front of my face Gaps of white noise and blank canvases have stalled progress Oh, but I see light a brightness of clarity surrounding my path Mock not good fortune let it rain down and lift you up to fly I walk through the open doors with renewed confidence Time & Space limit me no more as I am free to create... ME.

What If... (10W)
Our understanding of the fairer *** is fleeting of this we cannot deny Try as we may we remain vexed and perplexed although we press on Just once and only once please take our words for what they simply are Never attempt to think for us or change our words to what you think Take it on faith that we are not trying to confuse you or play with your mind Yes we are different yet our love and passion are the common binder We can hopefully agree to disagree without fear of retribution over time Emotions may run high and tears may flow but perspective must be kept We all make mistakes and either is perfect in our ways so mindful we should be Take heart and know for fact that we adore you until the end of time.
