Stay Away Love
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
Stay away, like a cold.

That One Good Memory
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
That one good memory that you can't forget.
Maybe it was the loving or maybe it was the kiss.
It just that good to get you to reflect.

Is That So Hard
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
Defend those that need defending.
Protect those that needs protection.
But love those seeking to be love.
Is that so hard?

Is it really hard to love?
Is it really hard to care?
Is it really hard to share?
Is it so hard?

If love?
Is so powerful?
Why?
We not seeing it more.
From it comes happiness, from it comes joy.
Aug 2024 · 78
Once Was
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
Once was but not now.
The interest has left both of us.
What was?
Isn't there.
So why not accept it time to move on?

Why pretend before friends?
That was good in the beginning.
Is the same in the end.
Time brings about changes.

And growth does too.
Once was, isn't now.

I Don't Fit In.
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
Don't paint me into a corner you feel I should be.
But many of us get critiqued because we don't fit in.
We outside the norm for many controlled folks.

We have opinions.
Many doesn't like.
We, not following policy according to friends and foe.
You know them well; we call them go along.

Not willing to fight but be quiet.
Even, when they see wrong.

I don't fit in on various things.
Then, we ALL hate to be the same.
Aug 2024 · 78
In HIS Presence
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
We act out certain ways.
We pretend in various ways.
But in his presence watch the way we change.

All negatives put to aside.
We try fighting just to be by his side.
In his presence, we will act like saints.
When in truth?
He very aware we aren't.
Okay, to the correct soul, isn't.

In his presence, all sinners will be real.
Why the saints be exposed.

This truth, we all have come to know.
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
She strong.
She always been that way.
Yes, that woman men in certain sectors lie to be weak.
Have they not noticed it since youth.

That a woman is strength of the world.
Deny it, if you like.
But if you had or have a mom, this verifies this truth.
You more likely can point out the strength she has shown.

In scriptures, and do your research, and you see strength.
That many, many women, were strong.
They are the strength of the world.

Nothing to take away from strength of a man.
We just level power in various ways.
But if strong enough to admit truth that a woman is the strength of the world.

You know your strength.
You know your purpose.
Rise up black men and accept your glory.
Quit letting others narrate your story.

Our success scares many and intimidate plenty.
Especially that population saying, you want their white woman.
Rise up black men and see your Queen.

That beautiful skin tone Nubian dream.

I Can't Stand Poems
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
I can't stand poetry with those majestic words going in many directions.
Like those writing them being very creative.
I can't stand poems about love, hate, all types of emotions.
Some I refuse to feel.
I'm just keeping it real.

Some say lyrics the same, then like poetry my hatred the same.
Then one song caught my attention.
And change my intention but the song won't be mentioned.

It made me see the light.
That creative folks must be adore.
Especially when the written words stand around love.

jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
Now, you're seeking marriage after having kids.
Talking about why to many men?
Hey, there is a story here to be told time and time again.

Even, if I hit a nerve?
Remember, there is a story here.
A majority of women are mothers and some of the best.

But the words I do wasn't something you concentrated upon.

Take ten ladies of certain groups, and you find nothing but spoken truth.
It's like having ***.
After a certain amount now you thinking you want marriage.
And that thought probably never crossed his mind.

Don't listen to that hype think like a man author.
We. very aware of his various problems.

Oh, there is a story here.
You just got to concentrate on the importance of want verse need.
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
Take pride in being DEI.

We, need no Jim Crow's legislation to succeed.
That was them that creative with the laws.

Segregation created because fear all they know.
When you do anyone wrong?
You afraid of the fall.

Competiton, we all should accept.
Then, we all know when you successful without family help.
When you at the top and a minority.
The friend connection hire gets upset.

Determine, Educated, Intelligent.

And prepare not to apologize.
DEI doesn't seek sympathy.

We earn our way.
Despite what many might say.

Seeking A Black Job
jeffrey conyers Aug 2024
I want job.
What type?
A black job.
What's that?
That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Chauffeur?
Butler?
Housekeeper?
Field hand?
Where are these black jobs?
None of this fits me.
I been told I'm too qualified.

Might want a Latino job.
Carpenter, roofer, tattoos artist.
Please don't mention housekeeper

Then I might want that white job.
An executive to act like I have power.
Or supervisor.
Or computer geek.

Then I am more than qualified for simply a black job.

If they coming over the border?
They can have my black job.

Don't give me anything the white man refuse to do

Love Don't Ask For Much
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Love don't ask for much.
Just to share.
Love don't ask for much.
Just to care.
So, is that so difficult.

Love is giving.
Love is revealing.
True lasting love is forever.

Love constantly in recovery.
Used and manipulated in fantasies and dreams.
To prayed for more by those seeking joy.

Love is so unselfish.
But very underappreciated.
But one thing for sure, it can never be outdated.

Love is what you make it.
Protect it with kindness and never break it.
Why?
Love doesn't ask for much
Jul 2024 · 111
At The Right Time
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
At the right time, they will preach it's against the law laid down to Moses.
Yes, at the right time.

But love comes in many colors and directions.
But there's always groups seeking attention.
At, the right time-at certain times.

Some hates interracial marriages.
Some hate marriage of various religions.
Some surrounded by evil intention.

Some, simply like to be in control.
Yes, at the right time.
Jul 2024 · 212
Base
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Base your love, your kisses, upon you.
Not what some else tries to tell you?

Base your lust upon you, you alone know what motivates you?
It like a divorce soul of more than three trying to tell ways to be happy.

Base your likes upon your interest and intention.
Long, they within the law, you find someone to follow along.
Love, if sincere stays awhile.

It's the best thing around.
What you seek, love mainly won't let you down.
Jul 2024 · 58
The Mouth
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Words, said from the mouth has ruin many relationships.
And those that LEFT has no single regrets.
Snide remarks often spoked for no apparent reason.
Sometimes get a reply.
When at first?
They didn't want to say anything at all.

Until, yes until, you hit that hot button.
When the words of the mouth went too far.
And you got told of built-up regression once held back.

Watch your mouth, many have been told.
But many of us know exactly how that goes.
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Oh, in this modern world, you constantly amazed of the things you see.
Where you have a choice to remain free?
A slave had less rights to decide their choice.
Compared today, when the choice is yours.

Beaten, whipped and shipped.
Mainly, what many males' slaves only knew.
And in this modern generation many just joining the prison crew.

Why get upset?
If your committed crime made you apart of the system.
You are essentially a state own slave by your choice.
Get not upset by the treatment you face.

Remember, the slaves had it worst.
They have no programs for rehabilitation.
And in truth, that comes from within.
In modern times, folks blame in on various non-existence programs.

Cry and gripe behind the walls.
When many don't get their way.
Without thinking with truth.
You decided to become a prison slave by the crime you committed.
So, don't get upset, when stated to get out of your feelings.
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
They say, she's a good girl.
Just not aware how bad she can be.
Listen, to me.
They are going by the image that many that know her by.

They say, she is a sweet girl.
Not aware how bad she can be (she a bad seed)
But good when need to be.

We, all know someone like her.

Life is about pretense of various degrees.
Cause I am very aware just how she does love me.

But she is a bad girl, in the bedroom and yes society.
But to those that knows her it's not the image they see.
But aren't we all just acting.

Still, many think she a good girl.
Just not aware just how bad she can be.

It's not the image they see.
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Like, a suspect from the law.
Love got me, running away.
Yes, so afraid that I might enjoy it.

Just when I feel the need to explore it.
I see so much distraction that affects my attraction.
Oh, love got me, running away.

Don't want this heart of mine in pain.
Because hurt never been a good thing.
Don't matter what any expert might say.

So, I'm running away(running)
Yes, running away (just running)
Afraid of affection.

Rosa Parks Truth
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
We know the story.
We know the truth.
Rosa Parks stood on truth.

Why?
Did she had to give up her seat?
She was seated in the section assigned to blacks.
It wasn't her fault that the front was full.

We know the story.
We know the truth.
Sweet Rosa Parks just stood her ground.

The one with no seat should just turned around.
Jul 2024 · 63

You forgot my kisses; you forgot my hugs.
You forgot the one I truly love.

You overlook my messages.
You forgot what I told you many times before.
Oh, go figure.

Don't be shocked?
When you call me?
And I go---oh.
Jul 2024 · 79
Changes
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Has this world revolved?
Has this world changed?
But some through centuries opinions stays the same.

We, hear scriptures say this or that.
And guided to control folks' perspectives.
God so love the world about the gift he gave us.

Still, some twist the scripts right before us.
If two are happy of whatever gender they might be?
Just watch how some uses the scriptures to lecture a different theme.

Some, even attack another minister for their view.
Without realizing the disciples had disagreement too.

Men treated more righteous than the women that more faithful.
And to some that's a serious problem.

Trouble of the world does not outweigh love.
Thats the strongest emotion motivating us.
Even, if we ALL see things different.
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
I can and will whisper, I love you.
In the morning when we are laying there.
Even, when we are dancing close and slow.

Read, my lips so you know.
I shout it out louder for many to know.
But love whispering I love you.

Just to see your eyes a-glow.
And that sweet smile below your nose.
As I whisper, I love you.

Many doesn't hear it enough.
Some hardly at all.
Like it not meant to say.

But to you, you deserve to hear it.
I love you.
I love you.
Hear my whispers, feel my love.
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
I am me; you are you.
And this touching and agreeing only works for a while.
Because you will disagree.
Believe, you me.
You will disagree.

Might be about time.
Might be about claiming a person as mine.
Or money or bills.
Folks just doesn't keep things real.

A liberal speaks their voices by choice.
A conservative stays silence upon things needed to know.
Then, becomes that whistleblower, we soon come to know.

I am me and forever will be.
Love me, like me, it's irrelevant to myself.
Maybe to someone else.
Jul 2024 · 84
Supremacy
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Why?
Why?
Do fool uses the word supremacy?
Without comprehending, you're no better than anyone else.

We ALL, can play that game to think it.
And that all it be.
But the TRUTH will tell you various things.

You a fool, living in falsehood.
Or discriminated and secured only in your neighborhood.

Or created laws to only benefit you.
And you think you a supreme race
Look in the mirror and check your face.

Apartheid, used by South Africa back in the day.
And various Jim Crow's laws in grand America.

And this group lost in falsehood thinking they love competition.
Jul 2024 · 77
Figure
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Now, that it's ending, finally over.
You are forgetting all the good things I've done.
Totally negative.

Now, that this concluded.
You are just plain nasty with lies to everyone.
I figure you would be.

It's just a part of your personality.
What's in you?
Did I ever, ever did see.

I heard the rumors but played no part in my chase for your heart.
Only if I had the mind of God.

Figure, you can't admit your wrongs.
Good thing my heart still standing strong.
Jul 2024 · 74
Each Morning
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Eyes, open and I speak to you, yes, each morning.
Even, without a warning.
Each morning, I speak to you with love.

Just to see the glaze in your eyes.
Just to see the brightness of your smile.

Each morning, I say I love you.
Like each night too.
That's what those in true love try to do.

There is no certain routine to it.
Or any command to do it.
I just have to stick to it.
Jul 2024 · 125
Hard To Say I'm Sorry
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Hard, to say I'm sorry when they are gone.
They can't hear you their soul has moved on.
And your guilt has come along.
And you crying out your regrets.

Mabe, the wickedness of your mouth.
Or the many manipulations that you played to get your way.
Still, it hard to say I'm sorry when they gone.

The only ones hearing you is those that's alive.
Those that saw you, heard you when you cried.

Sometimes, loss makes you check your heart.
Which many of us should have from the start.
Not when they now assigned to another place.
Jul 2024 · 98
You're (Royalty)
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
You wear no crown.
Except, you're royalty.
Doesn't need to be call even a Queen because your royalty.
Just be being you.

So sweet, so true.
You stand out in your talk.
And a graciously style of walk.
Just being you.

Even, in your modest home, it seems like a palace.
Your presence demand respect.
Because you're royalty of the highest degree.

So, thankful for you loving me.
Jul 2024 · 132
You Didn't See Him
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Like many in the world.
You saw everything but what you should have seen.
You saw his Jewlery.
You saw his clothes and cars.
But you didn't see him.

His love, his heart.

You saw what you wanted to see of a profited.
And he strictly could do for you.

You saw his world.
You saw his house and good furniture too.
But you didn't see him like you should have.

A sincere heart of a man that truly cared for you.
Wanted to love solely upon you.
Now, here you are in this world feeling blue.
Jul 2024 · 96
This Gift
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
I accept it.
I cherish it.
This gift you're giving me.
So, unselfishly.

I will honor it like its mine to give.
And I will give it totally and only to you.

This gift is potent.
Hypnotic and magical.
But adored by many.
I guess, you can say plenty.
Yes, the gift of love.

And chased more than you are aware.
This gift will last forever.
Jul 2024 · 95
Hate Not
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Hate not, those with wealth.
Some earned it.
Some inherited it.
Hate, not their blessings.

Hate not, those striving and surviving.
Some are determined to make things better.
Some just don't apply the effort.
Hate not, upon them.

In a world of jealous people.
Hate just arises and it's not so surprising.
And many times, it's for no apparent reasons.
Like folks' opinions of various seasons.

Hate not those with confidence.
Hate not, those seeking joy.
Hate not, the life you live.
It takes so much to live it and share it too.

Hate not, those that believes.
Or those yet to adapt that way.
In times, they come around to see why folks pray.

Hate not, upon any race.
Some are simply stuck in a forgotten time.
Just don't be led by those not adjusting the changing of time.
Jul 2024 · 94
That's You
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Beautiful, that's you.
Delightful, that's you.
So, many words to describe your heart.
But those two I have mention is a start.

Very intelligent, that's you.
Never, belligerent, that's you.
I guess this why I am so in love with you.

We, all seek qualities in the person we admire.
And there are so many within you that's touches my heart.

Adorable, that's you.
Wonderful, that's you.
So, many words to describe your heart.
And I seen these two of you from the very start.
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Yes, I am running away from love.
Because it's just not what I want.
So, I'm running away from love.
Because it creates so much trouble

We all want to be needed.
Sure, wants to be wanted.
But I been free for so long and happy being alone.

Then you came, suddenly and turn my life around.
And it affected my whole life more than I wanted.

So, I'm running away from love.
Because it creates so much trouble.
So, I'm running.
Yes, I'm running.
Trying not to be captured.
Or feel like a love's prisoner.
Jul 2024 · 88
Do What You Gotta Do
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Do, what you gotta do to survive?
Many always will take side to your choice.
But remember the decision is yours.
To do what you gotta do.

Many righteous sinners sit in that house in that pew.
Thinking they are better than you.
But they not telling what they done.
To do what they had to do to survive.

In troubling times, many things will be done.
But if you don't regret the things, you did.
Then why it my perspectives to talk negative.

In life, we all talk about someone.
And upset if it turned around.
And all they see is a enraged frown.
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
You better believe it.
Yesterday love, isn't the same as today love.
I love you better.
I am loving you more.
More than I ever done before.

With each passing day love grows stronger and stronger.
Not to apologize for or about.
Without a doubt you worthy of every inch of it.
Because yesterday love, not the same as today love.

There always something different to reflect upon.
Jul 2024 · 115
You Created Your Lonelines.
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Your mouth.
Your attitude.
You created your loneliness and never seen it coming.
And it was right before your eyes.

Constantly, things appeared before you.
And you act like it was regular.
Words shouldn't have to be told to you.

On, what you must do?
But you let that mouth run off the one that loved you.
Yes, you created your loneliness.

So, when you look at the door and don't see what you expect.
You know why?
Jul 2024 · 71
Somebody

Somebody found a treasure and it's not hard to measure its worth.
Somebody found a gem and it worth more than anything it this world.

Somebody found a love, one that eventually was discovered.

To be made of pure gold.
Least this what I have been told.

The Door Always Open
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
Not one to hold on what don't want to be kept.
I understand freedom, ewe all seeks.
And if my love, my love, isn't enough for you.
And deep within your soul I'm a burden to you.
The door always open for you to leave.

Don't stay here out of pity or sympathy.
That just show within yourself, you don't know me.
Stronger than you ever will see.

And if..
And if what you seek just can't be found.
Just know the door always open for you to turn around.
Maybe I am a fool
Maybe I am a clown
But one time your sincere love turned this fool around.

So, the door always open to you.
jeffrey conyers Jul 2024
I can't wait for your return.
Although you call and I hear your voice and it makes me smile.
You are just not aware that this lonely house-in need of love.
Yes, this lonely house (is in need of you).

You brighten my day just by being seen.
You motivate me by the things you say.
You make me smile just by being you.

But when you're not here, this lonely house in need of you.
It's hard to sleep when you are not next to me.
And I welcome things you say you do upon your return.
You're the fire and I'm the flame.

So, I can't wait for your return.
Let the candles burn.
Let the music play.
Let your sweet voice just call out my name.
Jul 2024 · 97

Like when we met.
Like when we kissed.
Somethings, stays forever, yes forever.

If I recall, you walked into the room and affected my soul.
I knew at that moment meeting you was my goal.
And nothing could stop me.
Nothing could and nothing would.

You are eternal, yes, my forever love.
Yes, forever, forever, forever.

Like, it been told with honesty and truth.
Somethings just requires proof.

So, I'm here to tell you that you are my forever love.
Yes, forever, forever forever.

Really?
Now, that you see me in a better light.
You are talking about me making you, my wife.

But I remember all the rough spots we went through.
And I didn't see any sympathy from you.
Even when I reached out to you.

These are the things that I remember.
Now, you want to claim me as yours.

All because, now you see me in a better light.
But what you prove to me?
You only be temporary in my corner.

And gone the moment when trouble is seen.
