I wonder how many people I’ve hurt.

Heavenly Father, in this beautiful morning I am so thankful that You are able and often do make impossible situations possible.In this beautiful morning I like to ask for forgiveness for the seemingly limitless capacity I have to be foolish. Heavenly Father, please help us live our lives with loving intent, cultivating meaningful relationships with our families, friends, and even our brothers and sisters we’ll never engage in our lifetime. Heavenly Father please teach me in your wisdom,so that my life might be pleasing to You and a blessing to others around me....In Your name I am strong, fearless and blissful. In your name Jesus Christ, I’ll continue to pray… Amen!

Today I had the day free, I decided to jump in my car and drive up to
Maryland to pick something up. The drive was therapeutic. It's been a tough week and I needed to clear my mind. I started back around 7:30 but by 8:30 I was sleepy and there was a thunderstorm brewing.

I decided it was time to stop and get coffee and something to eat. As I walked in the diner, said hello to an elderly woman sitting in the booth across from me. She said hello back and we struck up a conversation.

We talked or rather she talked and I listened. She told me about her husband and how he had passed away and I kinda reminded her of him when he was a lot younger lol She beamed with love and affection ....even if sad that he was gone. Her heart was beautiful as a flower.

We joked about a few things and then she got up to leave. She said, "Young man, thank you for listening to this old lady. You are very sweet, please tell your mother that she did well.

I assured her I enjoyed the conversation and asked her to be safe going home.

Twenty minutes later, I went to pay my bill and was told, " mom took care of it...she's sweet like that, I was told”

I teared up as I got back in my car. You never know how lonely people are and how much just caring enough to listen will mean to them.

Life is short.... Don't squander any chance to be Kind.

When life gets tough,
What spills over?
Is it
Anger,
Bitterness,
Sadness,
Harsh words
What’s your reactions?
What  would you say
If I told you
YOU could create a state of happiness
Every day
Because reality is
Life provides the cup
We get to choose how to fill it
regardless of life’s challenges
And what is happening
In the world around you
What would you say to me?
Would you take the time
To ask me how?
Or would you
Continuing in your bitterness

Poets don’t write
All the time
because
We love it ,
We write because
We “must”
Because
If we don’t
There is an ache inside
That just won’t let us be
I write at times
When I have no clue and
Without thinking
Sometimes like a breath
When there’s Nowhere to hide
No shoulders to cry on
I write to encourage myself
and many others
No matter how much
The world trying to minimizing life
There’s always a way to shine
And the truth forever remains
The sun is in us all
In sadness and pain
Joy and laughter
Rich and poor
I write to remind myself of
The value I hold dearly inside
A visionary truly
Like a first class flight
To a limitless potential
Writing is indeed
My fuel to grow
Letting go of my old
Releasing the pain
Like starting anew
While faith unfolding
Like flowers in light
Constantly flowing
A rhythm and vibe
A magical ride
To the great unknowns
My currency is inspiration
My destination is love
But sometimes
Out of nowhere
I’ve run out of thought
Just
        like
    A breath!

Love is special

           Love is inspiration
It can inspire us to do the most craziest thing and amazing feats. It can elate you and deflate you almost at same the time.

                 Love is never a game , so many have searched for what may feel like a century for the right love , some have failed and some have won.

                 One thing I do know about the amazing thing called love, whether you’v love and won , or love and lost ....it always worth it.

                                  It may come and go but luckily like a beautiful flower in the ground if you nurture it, water it, feed it and treat it like it deserves to be treated it may last a life time.

I learned love isn’t always beautiful
Love will cut like a samurai sword
Like a ninja warrior in broad daylight,
It will hurt and may scar you for life.
It's not true that love shouldn't ever hurt,
The hurting just shouldn't be in vain.
Hurt in vain, is suffering.
And who the f….has time for that?

I command my voice into silence
      As I watched from the sidelines amused ,
          As I watched grandeur seduced.  
The lure of darkness
Enslaved them in her tight embrace.
         And the lure of enjoyment in it all.
But ,
      I shall resist.
Knowing that  love is light and it conquers it all !

Some would have
You to believe that
     Love is blind

Love isn’t blind
       At all
Love sees every
        Color
Love does not require
Sameness to love
          
Love sees every shade
And every relishes
        In each one

Love seeks to understand
And give freedom of
    Expression to every
      Brilliant color

     Love has perfect
             Vision
That sees and celebrate
          Every color

           Like love
         I see color
       And it is indeed
             Beautiful
            
      Love in color
              It’ll
     Change your life

Boys and Girls,

If they’re not gracious for that simple feather kiss in the middle of the forehead

They’ll never be appreciative for anything else you have to offer ;)


Know when to RUN 🏃‍♂️

Love is too amazing
      For anyone
  To be sorta loved

        If you’re
Going to reach for
The heart , I would
Hope  that you use
       Both hands
               For
The heart is never a thing
      To be taken lightly

          Don’t try
Grabbing it with one hand
           While
       Holding on
 To someone else’s
          Heart

Never to embrace
          The new
 While holding on To
          The old

       Remember
                      
   Love isn’t love
           Until
   It moves beyond
           Words
  Action is everything
  
  If you truly want
           To be
  In someone’s
          Life
You will create the best
       Possible
Way to get  there

            For
 We all  deserve a
Consistent kind
            Of
          Love

Love saved my life
It wasn’t long ago
when I received the call
I remember it like yesterday
It was bed time
ready to crashed when the
township called
expressing my brother had expired
someone had took his life
shot him in the head
At that very moment
my entire life shattered
into a million pieces
nowhere to be found
Quickly I rushed to
the hospital in the
hope maybe he was
still breathing, still moving
but the outcome
was everything but that
Few days after
we’ve put him to rest
in his last resting place
he was only nineteen
Felt like a dream
refused to believed
i prayed to God
to not allowed it  be true
when I awake
day dreaming
But sooner and later
you always always
have to wake up
Hatred strengthened
to a point
I was ready for war
with whomever involved
Strapped ready to fight
when I realized because
of my faith this wasn’t
the way for I’ll rot in hell
Not long after
depression  kicked in
started hearing voices
all through my head
Voices
I didn’t recognized
whispering to me
It was time to joined him
meaning
my brother to a better place
I remember
I sat in my car
with my glock clacked back
against my temple
ready to pulled
the trigger
when my phone
vibrated  and said
It was from love
I decided to answered
and told her my story
had no more desire
to live This was
my good bye
Then I started crying
and she cried along with me
and prayed with me
tell me to come home  
she’ll make this better
she didn’t want to lose me
in a word
she was carrying my son
which I’ve heard
for the first time ever
It was at that moment
when  my life started over
a clean slate at a new life
and still today
our love has
grown stronger
she showed me the
love I always needed
this  woman is the
reason I did not drown
In my depression
In my sorrow
In my anger
Everyday she came
looking for me
I knew how blessed
I am to have her
in my life today
This is my reason
I care for those
Who haven’t find
love and have no one
to call their own
Because truly I truly
don’t know what
would I do today
without my wife
in my life for
She is my treasure
and the reason
this is my reason
I’ll always choose
          Love

It’s
Not
Difficult
To
Love well
                  
            Unless you’re selfish

THEN IT’S IMPOSSIBLE

I am

Waiting

In earnest

To see what comes next



I am

Entrenched

Almost rigid

As the urge rises


I am

Uncertain

Desperately seeking

Yet, I see no end to where I am



I am

Luckily lucky

Forevermore grateful

Her body’s poetry keeps me grounded


I am

Yet,

Stronger

Slowly smiles

You think I could be the one


I am

Imperfectly perfect

Yet,

I am

bright and warm like the sun in the sky
In your eyes


I am

Joyful

Sunlight beaming

You beautifully brighten up my day



I am

Still

Quietly reflects

On our special moment

From time to time



I am

Refreshed

Eagerly awaits

To move forward once more you asked



I am

But,

Exactly

Who and where

I am supposed to be



I am

In her tight embrace,  in love

A bond that cannot chip away nor be described
In simple words



Darling

I am

Loved

As the evening blues
Makes its presence known
With calling attention,
Undeniably you’re my therapy
And my favorite pain
I could always feel the magic
In your seductive smile ,
When the night takes flight
On dreams painted with love
With strokes of desire
Lust ,love regardless
As the heat rising
Adrenaline in my veins
I Forever and more crave
For your soft sweet torture
Like a kiss from a Rose
Your sweet and sour kind of love
My desperate kind of love
That has me torn in pieces
Soft sarcastic kiss
Soft spoken lies
Soft magical moments
Soft sweet fragrance of love
Soft lips Stem with thorns
Makes my poetry bleed
Flowers and rain
Laughter and pain
I may fall, I may fly
Still, Forevermore Long for the touch of your sweet lips
Breathing against my flesh as we dance the evening blues
Into the promise of the morning, joy….
Lust , love regardless
You’re independently mine as I am yours ……...

I come from pure love
And when my time is up
I want to leave in sweet love
It’s not my place to judge
those mired in difficult seasons
It should be my goal
to judge only my own heart
Is it compassionate enough?
Is it tender toward others?
Is it free of the coldness
This world tries to inject in me
Dignity, love and a hand up
Are the best things I can offer those
who have suffered set backs.
Because I am pure, sweet
Enduring Love,
spreading you light
With a little bit of madness

May is my absolute favorite month.
                I met the love of my life
                                   In May.
Got married in May, fathered my first son in May.
   New beginnings always happen for me in May.
Everything is in bloom and beautiful almost like a picture for their glorious unveiling. There is no doubt May gives me a new perspective and a fresh start.
                  May songbirds serenade me every step I take along the way , oh May I am satisfied.
May blooms the most beautiful flowers for an unforgettable view.  May shared for the first time his beautiful Son for the world to see.
                  May 6 indeed a King was born . May is absolutely my favorite month by far.
May the Month of Edmund Black.
                                  Happy birthday to me!

What’s
    
          The
Deal
          
          With  the airlines
  
Mid-air  Snacks ?

          It always
Reminds
          Me
Of  the girl
Next door

          Where
         Firstly
In early morning
Where all the young
Hearts around the
Neighborhood knows

           The
Exactly time
She would be
Coming out
For her morning jogs

             Like a hawk
In the sky awaits
        Its pray

Like the bumblebees
      Waiting for spring

   Like the black bears
           Hibernating
             Dreaming
                 Of
her sweet seducing lips
                      I bet
             Taste just like honey

    Like that *******
        I once had
     Dreaming of exploring
   Her seductive body

          In my inappropriate
               Thoughts

I can almost taste
          The
       Paradise

   Desperately in need
                 Of
       Conquering her heart
          And rumple her sheets
                             I
            can almost guarantee
                  To be a lot more
              Delicious than her
             Favorite candies
                  
                  Lol
              
Butterfl­ies in the
      Stomach
Couldn’t dream
          Of any
        Other girls
            To help Bring
The animal out of me

          Anyway
I was always there
      To capture the moment
                Yoga pants
Embrace her body
     So perfectly delicious
Where all curves
Screaming out loud
For attention

       Without
A doubt
           She never disappoints
            
            Except
few hours later
       Just to be picked up
              By that fine looking
        College boy
Driving
    His
drop top Benz

              At
that moment
    Painfully, we all knew
     There wasn’t
One threaded chance
          Of  Us
Feeding the beast

          What
a freaking tease
A bag of chips
and a soda
       Always
     Reminds me
of the girl next door

            Just
Enough to get
me exited
But Never
Enough
To completely satisfy
            My hunger.

In seeking
Your love
I’ve made my way
To the realm of wisdom
A kingdom where self love
Seats proudly on the throne
Where I’ve discovered
Under the cold sun
Deep In the abyss of a cloud of your counterfeit love
That I’ve been one of the missing all along
Where I’ve been calling thunderously to be found by You
Didn’t you hear me calling for You ?

Like a flower,
A corpse
In the scorching heat
Of summer
Clipping wings
Off bones
Sweet bourbons
kisses goodbye
Felt like
A Summery slow death
If I must admit
Running from cruelty feelings
Only to jumped
Into autumn misery
Perfect weather
If you’re a vulture
The kind of love
you only dream of in storms
False excitement,
All ten fingers
Caressing Rosaries
Not a second later only to be
Struck  by flowing stones
As her kiss showed its teeth
Crushed out of air
Only to get high on spanish fly
Written in Haitian cursives
The language of death
These Silly rabbits,
These fu* heartbreakers
They have never learnt,
Forevermore forgotten
Feathers do grow back
There isn’t a single day
I’m not eying the blue sky
Of love,  no matter the weather
Gosh ,
I’m always misunderstood

She is the face
Of my reality
The breath I inhale
The sunshine
Upon my skin
The generator of beauty
I see, all around me.

As I stand at the window
looking into the blue sky
dreaming of another time
where laughter freely flowed
I listen to the embers burning
as they cast a warm glow
My heart was hanging heavy
knowing this world of mine
Is surrounded by darkness
as far as my eyes can see
And realizing that
I had nothing to offer
for all I have to give
could never be wrapped
with a bow
Tears started
flowing down my face
My tears fresh, hot and anew
Tears of sadness
And then it came to me
not entirely nothing
a smile begins to creep
across my face once more
Nothing could compare
to the the joy and excitement
that rises within me
My strength increases
the longer I started to realized
I could give them my all
I’ll give them all I have
The true love and joy I feel
forevermore they are
the true gifts to me
that I know is real
I’ll give them my love
