A lot of relationships
Sadly comes to an end
Because of people’s error
People’s stubbornness
People’s misunderstanding
I mean,
To think that
you know your spouse
Because you cuddled each evening
Would be very ungrateful.
How can you know the woman?
How can you know the man?
They are processes,
they are not things.
The woman that you knew yesterday is not there today
The man you made love to last night, is way gone reborn again
So much water has gone
down the Ganges;
They’re somebody else,
totally different.
So much has changed
Each day anew
Relate again,
Explore again,
don't ever take it for granted.
Cherish each moment
like a new day to love us all over again.

People often want the title
and privilege of a King
but rarely want the
responsibility of governance

Governance begins with yourself
When you begin to deny
your own selfish wishes
So that you may better serve
your Queen

Then and only then
will you begin to develop
the capacity of a king

Stop
claiming the title
and
not the responsibility...

Too often people asked me
What is the key
to a man finding
His Queen

I simply reply with

A Queen
knows the difference
between a King and a pawn
Face her future
Be accountable
Be selfless
she’ll recognize You

Silent night
Dark lonely thoughts
Wander down the lane

Far far away
From familiar places

Words rages
Eyes blood shots
Battles fought
At the edge of time

When all hopes
Seems to be gone

Then
Suddenly
The moon appeared
Illuminates
my thoughts
And left me a song
that will never die

Once again
The moon 
Has picked me up
And
gave me
Life

If you’re wondering if there is poetry for love
Like there is poetry for pain.



The answer
Is
Absolutely
Yes
<3

Tell me
When does one stop
Running ?

Tell me
When does one
Stop fallen ?

Tell me
When does one
Stop craving ?

Tell me
When does one
Stop weeping ?


Tell me
When does one
Stop Chasing a love
That even water
Can not revived ?

Tell me
When does one
Start to set free
These forever lost moments
And
Start to love
Anew

Like a wildfire
ravishing the forest
Like a tornado
turns lives upside down
Like an avalanche
destroyed all in its path
Like an earthquake
splits opened the earth
Like the rains
cleanse out the wicked
And like the wind
Sweeping you off your feet
None matches up
to the power of my love within
To a point where
It’s almost impossible to explain
Come a little closer
I would rather show you a lot better.

I was too cold
to love
I was too hungry
To share
I was too disturbed
to see
I was too crushed
to care…
I was too hopeless
to believe…
I was too empty
to feel
I was too proud
to ask for help
I was too weak
to pray
I was too busy hating myself
to love myself
Until words gave me eyes
to see
I could find beauty
in these dark moments

to accept

There’s something
In the wind
It feels like moisture
But my flesh
My eyes remain dry

There’s something
In the Sky
It seems like darkness
But my path remains
Forevermore brighter

Every step taken
Is forward motion
I ebb and I flow
As the tide of the ocean

Fluid like movements
There is no doubt
I am here to stay

No way to contain my thoughts
The world not done justice
If I simply shut my mouth

The poetry deep inside my soul
I seek and I find
My spirit not bound
To my body or mind

Endless poetry
My true state of being
The world  finally now know
The poetry from my core

People don’t even
Believe in themselves
Don’t get too hurt if
They don’t believe in you

             Good morning
                      beautiful people,
                            
                            ­ Give whatever
                                Hurt you have a hug and
                                     Create a great day :)

The heart hurts the most
When it’s being fed a supper
it no longer craves.

When love find you
You will know

Flowers will grow From fingers
Palms full of soil a scent that
Lingers and leads

You will not be afraid
To toil in loves garden

You will come as water
You will come as seeds
You will come as whatever
Love needs you to be

And
love will come
As whatever you need
Love to be
Bending to each other’s burden

All life
all light
strange and ready.

I have learned
        You
May not recognize
         Me

I wonder if my bed could talk
What would she tell the world about me ?
Would she be loyal to me
And keep my secrets ?

Would she tell the world
How I always treat her like royalty
Morning , night and day?

Would she breaks her promise to me
And tell the world
How many faces she counted
Throughout the years?

Or
Would she stand up for me
And tell the world to mind
It’s own **** business...

I wonder if my bed could talk
What would she tell the world about me?

Would she tell the world
How I fixed her up so pretty every morning ?

Or
Would she share our secrets
And tell the world
Just
In hours later I have her
Looking like an old rag
And
Smell like *** in a bottle ?

I wonder if my bed could talk
What would she tell the world about me?

Would she whisper my secrets
Softly behind my back to Mr.Jones
About how Mrs. Jones and I
Be dancing the night away ?

Or
Would she be faithful to me
And keep my secrets safe ?

I wonder if my bed could talk
What would she tell the world about me ?

Or
would it be fair to say
Maybe I’m just a paranoid man
Who’s just wondering a little bit too **** much ?
Sometimes I wonder to wonder

The first time ever
I saw Your face
Life stood still
As I paused
Feel and hark
When suddenly
I got caught up
In a butterfly storm
The flowers and I
Sprang towards
Each other
But the flowers
Were turned away
Baby I bloomed,
I bloomed so willingly
Just for you to have a taste
With your red hot lips

They say that
Luck is
Finding the one Thing
That makes your heart quickened
When you least expected

Like finding the perfect parking spot
Soon you’ve arrived at your destination

Like finding the perfect flowers
At your favorite flower shop
For that special occasion

Like arriving at your front door steps
Right before the storm

Like hitting the jackpot
Soon arrived at your favorite casino’s spot

But I say
luck
Is
finding the perfect girl
of your dream
Upon that very first smile
Fall at first sight
And
press forward
With your foot on the gas
On a road to nowhere
Sunshine’s by your side
And to never step on the brake
Into every lifetime
And
Never look back

“Love” was how
We found each other
But “fate” is what
Will always keep us together
There will come a time
I may not be able
To catch you all the time
When you fall
Because life’s happens
Sunshine I’m sorry, life’s happens
But even though if happens to be true
You can always count on me
To help you “get up”,
Even if I have to kneel down
So you could climb up on my back
I will, Sunshine I will,
Until my heart stops beating
Because I will always love You

Lately life
feels like a lot
of walking
Sometimes I know
where I’m going
Sometimes I don’t
And sometimes
it just doesn’t matter ,

Sometimes the wonder
is in wandering
But every turn lead to a path
I had not known that I was meant to walk
Every path takes me to a better season
Every path leads me to a different lesson
every lesson learned leads to a better life
and a better life doesn’t happen by taking the
same path , the known path
So yes like nature I change my
path often , I challenge myself, I move
differently intentionally
Yes I dabble in danger, I take risks
Sometimes I break open the sky
just to unearth what’s underneath all the layers
Yes indeed, this courage
My courage , this realm, the things beyond
God...
The road less traveled is Devine

You
     can’t

        If

      what
you  
      truly
love,
       you
have
       to
Learn
       how

I heard them say
That cats have nine lives
And no matter what life throws at them
They always land perfectly perfect
On their feet
But as impressive this may sound
I remain unimpressed
Because
Perhaps the same can be said
For Edmund black
Because believe me
When I tell you that truer words
Have never been spoken
No matter if the sky’s fallen
The earth’s crumbling
Or the sun’s risen
I remain standing taller than ever before

“No matter what”


     Still, I rise!

Love changes people
It sculpts us into someone
Who understands more deeply,
Hurts more often,
Appreciate more quickly,
Cries more easily,
Hope more desperately,
Loves more openly
And lives more passionately.
That’s what love does
That’s what makes love extraordinary,
That’s my kind of love
That’s black love.

You May Not Know Me But You Will Always Feel Me 🖤

Baby
It’s not what
I’m  looking at
That matters
It’s what I see
I want my eyes in your eyes

Baby
It’s not what I’m looking at
That matters
It’s what I hear
I want your voice
In my ear

Baby
It’s not what I’m looking at
That matters
It’s the joy you put in my heart
I want your laughter in my mouth

Baby
It’s not what I’m looking at
That matters
It’s what I feel
I want your skin
Upon my skin

Baby it’s not what
I’m looking at that matters
It’s what I desire
and
all I desire

Baby
Is
You

The biggest difference between love
And
Unconditional love
Is
Consistency
!!!!

I spoke to my daughter today
And she made me smile
There is something about a father
And his little girl.

No matter how hurt,
No matter how many broken promises,
There is something about a father and his little girl.

And when a girl becomes a woman...
And she decides to get to know her father,
Not because its her duty
But because she wants to understand herself

She realizes that her father had a father.
A mother. a life. before her, that shaped him,
Made him, maybe even broke him.

she realizes that despite anything...
Her father is love and she realizes that
Making  the choice to understand him
outside of her own feelings, opinions,

Despite the fact that it is not her duty,
Is the most powerful act of love
And the most freeing act of life for the one on the receiving end.

I spoke to my daughter today,
                             And she made me smile

Don’t you know that
Love is in the midst of it all.
Dancing
With all it touches.
Don’t you know how
It picks up the ground
And all that dare
To cross it’s path ?
Baby, if love
Is what you have on your mind
Whisper it in the air
So that I can come sweep you
Off your feet ,
And dance with you too
Don’t you know that I would ?

In my mind
I have been living
Three separate lives
Simultaneously
Interrogating  the presence of
My individual realization,

In the mirror I am
This voodoo man
He weaves a spell
Turning heaven into hell,
Like the Wild Wild West
Pain, sorrow are his paths
Where He cries everyone’s tears
A vulnerability that’s too real,
His collective realization ,

In the mirror I am
this understanding man
Who lingers in a pathway
That offers solace
A momentarily reprieve
From all that ails him
Where laughter still comes,
My higher realization ,

Then again

In the mirror I am
That man with the wings ,
Where I stay high above all
Turns hell into heaven
Where the light remains lit
In the darkness that is mine.

Sweet magical man
With a magical heart.

In the mirror all at once!

Today In a world of a lack of appreciation and creativity. Most people look at the clouds and see nothing more than a cloud of pollution in the air
And others see it to be nothing more
Then maybe a chance of rain on the forecast.
But for me,
the clouds softly help me remember the echo of my core self, my inner child
An Omnipresent memory.
I remember when I was a young boy,
The clouds were an amazing way for me and my siblings
To spend some quality time together.
We would simply lay on our backs on a blanket of grass
And allowed nature to paint us a picture of whatever She desires.
And as far our imagination would take us
While the wind whispered it’s poetry in our ears.
And in  just a blink of an eye
While talking, and laughter takes over
smiling brighter than the sun
Dreaming bigger than the moon
We would find ourselves joy riding on butterflies  
While journeying forth through the entire universe
And back !
Curiosity & Imagination propel creativity and creativity inspires innovation & ideas. Don’t lose your inner child.

I remember the days
        when I prayed
                        for what I have now.

You have to have symmetry
as much as chemistry
In a relationship
Some women want a mansion
relationship and they can’t keep
a studio together
Some men want a Michelle Obama
kind of relationship but think
partnership is about cooking and cleaning
If you want someone of capacity
you have to be someone of capacity
Chemistry draws you
Symmetry keeps you

Before it’s all over
This silent killer will pounce
On us
Like a falcon

This silent killer will throw us around
Like a lion with its prey

Then
It’ll stand over us
And watch us fall
Like stars out of the sky

And
Just when this silent killer
Think that
We about to hit
the ground to suffocate
In our own blood
And
Send us all to darkness

WE’LL TAKE FLIGHT

BECAUSE
WE SAY WE CAN

BECAUSE
THAT’S WHO
WE ARE

BECAUSE
WE WILL

BECAUSE
MY FRIENDS
WE CAN FLY

In these down times
Your smiling face is the cure my soul requires
But masks are necessary
And your smiles are hidden
Separation is needed
Our alone time is off timing
While the news changes daily
Like nature’s daily changes her mind
Uncertainty is feeling too certain
And,
Just when we thought that life is over
Under the blue clear sky
We see and smell the flowers
blooming across the yard
As the sun rises
As the birds singing our favorite melodies
While the butterflies dancing in mid-air
In celebratory of our love
As you’re pulling me closer towards your heart
Despite of social distancing,  we must
It calms our minds
It centers our souls
It renews our existence
It gives us life
Because we have a life of love
That will never change
And
Always melt my heart away with a smile

It makes me feel,
Like life without a mask
Forever and ever ever ever more
In just a brief,

All over again!

My heart doesn’t know you are gone
Because
It cries for you , still
It craves for you, still
My heart doesn’t know you are gone
Because
It fights for you , still
It’ bleeds poetry for you, still
My heart doesn’t know you are gone
Because
Day after day
It yearns for you , still
It searches for you, still
My heart doesn’t know you are gone
Because
It beats for you, still
It feels for you , still
My heart doesn’t know you are gone
Because
There will always be sunshine
When it thinks of you , still
Darling,
My heart doesn’t know you are gone
STILL
