They (Ask Me Why)
You felt like you were trapped into something you didn't want to be.
So, like an eagle flying free, I let you seek your freedom.
Let you go out and enjoy what you thought was fun.
And they ask me why?

Because it long been known what don't want to stay.
Will in the end only bring pain your way.
So, I rather keep my peace of mind going fourth.
Still, I get asked why?

But to love the one you love.
You have to let life be a teaching lesson.
And hope in time they see the bigger picture.

That love holds no one prison but a fool.
Because like anyone seeking freedom, you must realize it always yours.

Childhood Memories
Some, are good
Some are great.
Some are bad.
Child memories exist.

Maybe, thinking about standing on the bus stop as a kid.
With your mom/dad or sibling.
All being your protector.

Waving to the parents as the bus departs.
Childhood memories reflect greatly from the heart.

Might be time with grandparents or dad and mom.
They exist to share.

Could be centered around your favorite teacher or instructor.
Maybe, even you're on-time minister.
Or learning to fish.

When older?
Childhood memories you just don't forget.

So Many Regrets
Now, that you are gone.
I realizes I could have treated you better.
And now I regrets it sincerely.
I guess I have so many regrets.

I cry when I think of you.
And many ask what is wrong?
I just keep reflecting through my tears.
That I could have done way better.

Sure, you confide in me certain things.
Things you wish could be.
And not all your sadness falls upon me.
But doing certain times I was your ear.

One of a few that supported you.
Still, I have so many regrets.
Whenever I think of you.

The Say You Lucky
They quick to profess you blessed.
That you lucky to have me.
When in truth and reality it's me.
They say you're lucky more than you know.

They saying many good ones doesn't exist.
And I can't honestly agree to this.
But when they say you lucky.
They really don't know it's me.

Everything I prayed for have come true.
Just by having you here in my life.

I Done My Job
If I raised, you well?
I done my job.
It's not about being perfect.
Life with kids doesn't work that way.

If major trouble you avoided?
Then I have done my job.
Respect and manners being installed with love.
For others to see.

Then again, I have done my job.
Yes, even parents get things wrong.

If one ouch of faith?

Then I have done my job.

Someone you can come to say I am proud of you dad and mom.

The Mouth
What?
What created the problem?
Your mouth.
Scriptures states the tongue is made of evilness.
And when you speak it's to create more mess.

Why?
Why that's hard to explain?
Some lives to create pain until it deals with them.

When upon the phone?
You say things to others that's not necessary to know.
Then when confronted?
You acting like you should be upset?

Why?
Your mouth created the trouble.

Just to hear Him say he still my friend.

Yes, I stood before God
--I stood before God
And lay out my sins while knowing He alone is my main judge

We all turn to him while seeking to be forgiven.
All because we have been taught that what we should do.

I stood before God and cried many tears.

Just to hear him say, my son come near.

He listens to my hurt of the things I did and told me to not let occur again.

Oh, I stood before God

You Taught Me Well
I read many novels.
Yes, many, many books.
But it took trial and tribulations to make love work.

All the chapters and summaries were good to read.
But it took living and learning to teach me.
That no writer of book could ever do.

You were my teacher.
My educator.
And you held no degree in romance.

But you taught me well (how to love)
And that alone was enough.
Never
Never
Never
No one can show you better love than me.
No other can fulfill all your needs than me.
I strictly was built to please.

So true
So true
So true
And eventually you will believe all these things I say.
That no one can show you better love than me.
Or ever come close to keeping you please.

What I say?
Is built around total facts.
Nothing fictional in the least.
Never
Never

Your New Man Taught Me
My fault I lost you.
My fault that he loves you.
But your new man taught me how to love.
Just by giving you the affection I didn't.

I see you smiling wider.
I see happiness in your eyes.
And your new man taught me how to love.

Sure, I wish you would return.
Except I see the joy he has brought to you.
And I have too much for respect for him to take you.

Cause your new man taught me how to love.
He did all the things I just didn't do.

I feel it.
I see it solely in your eyes.
So, it should come as no surprise.

From all your expressive ways.

But very adoring in accepting it.

Even look my way.
See truth, in what and everything I say.

See us, creating happiness forevermore.
Because it takes two to make us.
See me being the only one.

This where folks make the most mistakes.
And that a path we will never make.
So, see love, when you look my way.

So, how much love?
Must I give to you.
You must know how much I care for you.
Jan 14 · 99
A Hood Tale
Oh, the sadness of certain communities when folks speak.
They talk about violence weeks after weeks.
Without accepting they control the narrative.

Quit defending that infamous son/daughter doing wrong.
The gang members that think they belong.
One of the biggest intimidator factors in the community.
And it's not to be level at the cops.

When you a participator in the level of crimes.
Oh, folks don't like to bring companies to this area.
Why?
When thugs stealing and looting and you remain quiet.
Just waiting to buy it.

Upgrade your community starts with you.
We, all aware of the fools that loves being down.
Afraid to accept responsibility to turn things around.
Jan 14 · 125
Who Me
You said, I love you.
I reply, who me?
To which you said, yes you.
You stated you known it since we were young.

You said, I need to admit it.

And that I am living in denial.

So, I said, you adore me too.
You said, who me?

Forever will protect you (from things seen and unseen)
This how much you mean to me.

But in you I have my reality.

And it's worth mentioning this to your face.
In my heart, you have a special place.
Jan 13 · 57
Stay That Angel
I see no wrong in you to point out,
And If I do, I still hold the highest honors concerning you.
Many could come to me with various negativities.
And still, I wouldn't see your worst.

I just know you have been a blessing to me.
Stay that angel that I personally only see.
And you don't need any wings.
They are there just by you loving me.
Jan 13 · 85
I Saw A Diamond
I saw a diamond.
I saw a pearl.
I saw a woman who is a total jewel.

Why are you missing from the jewelry chest?

Somethings cherish like gold and silver.
And rightly should be.
I guess this why you the best gem I ever did see.
Remember this love.
Remember it well.
All I got to say to you.

Remember, my heart and how much I cared.
These are not just empty words spoken.

Somethings fades.
Somethings stay.
And if we are honest?
We wish somethings simply would go away.
But remember this love.

For me, you remain the only one.
That's all I got to say.
Jan 13 · 162

Still The One

I still love.
You're still the one causing it all.

I still laugh.
Even at the disagreement between us.
I still in love.
For me there is nobody else.

Too old to go through another love path.

I still reflect upon our good and bad times.
But when I do only happiness mostly come to mind.

You're still the one at top of my mind.
Yes, still the one that I pledged my love for all times.
Offended, get over it.
Comments hurt but only if there is truth within it.
Folks, seeking a mythological world of fantasies is hiding from reality.

Our past offends one more than ever before.
Even, now you see it going on too.
Still making up laws to discriminate against a few.

Folks, it's nothing new.
It still the same hue from the powerbroker's crew.
And they cry let's get over end to hide.

But truth always been on the oppressor's side.
You know the phase; you can run but you can't hide.
Besides history can't be erased for them to save face.

Your decisions hit ever minority race.
And now here they are crying in modern times.
Sensitivity hurt, so put it in your pocket.

And face facts, eventually you will pay in time
Jan 4 · 49
New Year, New You
Daily, we do change.
Sometimes for the better than again.
It's simply hard to say.

But when it's a new year, there should be a new you.
A new year to love.
A new year to live.
But with every new year crisis happens.

And that's the problem with certain people.
Let not your sadness

The Complaining Child
I hate this.
I hate that.
Well, what do you love?
Tell your parent since you the complaining child.

With less many do more.
Thank them instead of being a complaining child.
Love them, protect them, adore them.

Stop comparison to friends with more.
They have complaining children too.

Name brand, forget it,
Eventually, when older?
You be able to afford it.
Now, face facts on reality too.

Parent or parents has more complains about you.
Some tell you.
Others refuse too.

Be glad you have someone to tell your troubles too.
Oh, for sure.
Oh, for sure, we thank God for the parents we had.
That father.
That mother.
That grandparents or maybe some siblings in that role that raised us.
Guided us from danger or certain trouble.

We knew a parent stare and what it curtails.
We knew the consequences wasn't going to be good.
But that message stuck with us not to find out.

Oh, we not saying we perfect.
Except this present generation couldn't handle the crisis.
Yes, some spoil, and that apple fall upon their adult tree.

So, sometimes in comparison, we say thank God that that firm dad or mom.
And yes, various neighbors played a part in it too.

Act out at that visiting home.
You might regret going back to yours.
Oh, we knew how to act in church.

Even, sat that aunt or uncle.
We just knew.
So, thank God for individuals that raised us to know respect.
Sometimes, we don't give them enough credit.
Jan 1 · 99
You, I Enjoy
I like your eyes.
I love your smile.
I adore everything about you.
Hate to admit this even that attitude.

I enjoy your laugh.
I enjoy your hugs.
Both are to me a sweet comfort.

Within you is something that melts my soul.
Yes, this truth has been told before.
Love, you are so, so special.

I can't begin to describe all your qualities.
But salute you for just loving me like you do.

You a joy.
You, my joy.
And forever happy being your lover.
Jan 1 · 91
If I
Your love you placed in me
Yes, you trust me with your heart.
And although I am not powerful like God.
I just know if I must protect it.
I will.

If I must block others from personal attacks?
I will.
Sure, surely, I will.
Because your heart deserves protection.

And I am your man of action.

If I must create our own world of happiness.
I can, yes, I can love.
You my heart and I determine to be your security.

If I must die to protect you from harm.
Then that I will do.

When others opine on you?
Saying, you're different than what they use too.
Just be you.

Whether it's deals with the music you listen too?
Or car of choice.
Or race of the woman/guy you love.
Just be you.

Who has the rights to control your choice?
But you, yes but you.

Be you in life.
And live it right.
Although many will say it's not the way they like.

Just be you.
Even in your political views.
Many will try to narrate you to act like them.
Applying pressure your way.

Just be you.
Jan 1 · 114
Ask Yourself
Many reasons, why you lonely?
Just accept the blame.
Just ask yourself.
Was it those lips upon your mouth that got arguments started?
Just ask yourself.
Many times, quietness works.

Was it being home and not cleaning it?
Expecting others that works hard to come and do it.
Again, ask yourself.

Was it you're drinking and more that made your partner walk out the door.
And you find excuses to use.

Maybe, it's you that created a lot of mistakes you can't recover from.
And now you are crying about being the lonely one.

Calling Love
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Here, I am searching, seeking.
To some maybe pleading.
But I'm calling love to complete me.

I have a little of this and that and could use more.
But what in my life I earned.
I just need something to support it.
I am calling love because I want it.

In fact, everybody needs it.
Except many afraid to admit it.
So, they decide to avoid it.

But not me because I truly enjoy it.

Jimmy-Man of Grace
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Some folks are angels without knowing it.
Or choosing to be.
Just by your caring nature and humility, you created a greater legacy.

When folks?
Can mention you without much negativity.
It only contributes more to your legacy.
Jimmy Carter, you were a man of Grace.
Something, a few leaders can never claim.

Maybe it was your southern charm that impress many.
Maybe it was having Rosalyn upon your arm during your union.
Either way, you a classic example of son raised greatly by their mom.

Maybe, it was your loyal dedication to our country.
As a soldier or presidential leader.
To many you were a great example of what many should strive to be.

A man of grace without any apology.

If The Skin You In
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
If the skin, you in feels a certain way?
Change it.
Change your perspective to reflect you.

Especially, if you have any racial views.
Only you, can control you.

If the skin, you in makes you shivers?
Change it.
The world constantly rotates.
And there not much room for mistakes.

Whether you liberal or conservative.
You find both exist within you to some extent.

So, if the skin you in makes it hard to be loved?
Change you.
Dec 2024 · 97
Can't Stop Me
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
I hate to say it.
But it must be said, you can't stop me.
I got to fight, fight, fight against injustice.

You know, it's not right, right, right creating unhanded laws.
That is hurting us all.

So, you can't stop me.
We got to fight, fight, fight.

Sure, there will be some standing on the sideline.
But everything we accomplished, is just not for me.

They will be the first taking advantage of things they never fought for.

Women Quit Complaining
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Women, men not perfect.
Yes, far from it.
Just quit complaining about the men.

They sexist many hear but a few of you are too.
Maybe more with a grumpy attitude.
Obviously, you are the ruler of many lawsuits.
Some you very aware shouldn't be.


As many men get painted guilty in public view.
Just think of the thing's men don't bring lawsuits against you too.
To this day many of you still playing the pay to play game.

In society of truth, we call it another name.
Secretly, you know how some of those house bills gotten paid.
And car notes too.
Just imagine if males told the honest truth about your scams and schemes.

Somethings, deserves to be known.
And you should rightly speak.
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Sounds, good saying Make America Great.
And in various decades, we have been fantastic.
Even with our racists mentality.

Many has achieved that America dream.
Against the laws that tries to hold them back.
Fairness, certain populations yet to see or feel.

And that is for various reasons.
Some of us ask, when was America Great.
Simply let us know.

History holds sadness to our country.
Happiness has blossom within our cultures.
America, when was we great?

During the sit-in.
During the Civil Rights struggles.
During wars.

DAuring the corruptions of high-level executives.

Santa, Looked Just Like Dad
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Up late at night pretending to be asleep.
I open one of eyes and, saw a wink.
A man placing toys in the room under the tree.

And upon a closer view I knew him sincerely.
Because Santa looked just like my dad that night.
And assisting him was this sweet woman I knew deeply.

They seem to be having so much joy putting together various toys.
And this along made me love them just that more.
Because Santa, looked just like dad and that sweet woman just like my mother.

Probably, one of the best present ever given out of love.
Just seeing them two up in the night smiling.
And I saw one of them wink again.
Because they were aware this just a day of pretend.

Women Earned Their Way
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Women earned their way.
These are words a few men hate to say.
Yes, women earned their way.

Ministers stay stuck upon men in scriptures.
Leaving many loyal women out of the picture.
Some, still seeking them to be strictly submissive.

But research and see the truth of facts.
Women earned their way.
No need debating this because facts speak for themselves.

Like back then, many are survivals of trouble and love.
Long been known, some men are strictly trouble.
Afraid of the success of a woman.

Look, at your sister, aunt, mother or significant woman.
And admit their strength and say women earned their way.
They never defeated once they figure out what path to follow.
Dec 2024 · 98

Even in my thoughts and when I pray.

In my heart, you an unknown star.
But highly recognized within my heart.

When tears start to fall.
For you I would give my all and all.
Until my last breath fades away.

Erase all doubts that I don't care.
You only find daily that I do.
For sure I am a lovesick fool.

So, until, until I can't no more.

They Like (Black Culture)
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
They like our music.
They like our wear.
Oh, yes, we are so different than them.

They like our style totally true.
They like the way we tell you off.
When in truth we shouldn't have too

They like our strength.
Yes, we a strong culture.
All things throw at us.
We just pull through.

But black culture always does.

They like our hair style.
Even, if they deny it.
We won't buy it.

They just adore our creations.
Our music rules the world to certain extent.
Think of the royalties owed to many.

If they own just a part of it.
There was some crookedness involved within it.

Something about black culture they attracted too.
The things we say and do they want to do.

I Told A Secret
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
I told a secret, and it stayed that way
Many ask to who?
And I say God because I knew it wouldn't go any further.

There's no one on earth I tell anything too.
Because folks always tempted to spread your news.
And when confronted they blame you.

But when speaking to the Lord it's with confidence.
Because he exactly knows what bothering you.
Dec 2024 · 79
The Gift

The gift must be recognized.

And folks there is no reason to apologize.

And it been many, many decades since.
And that present represented throughout the universe.

So, give them your love.
Because it's the best present to have.

It's unselfish and free.

And if accepted freely it make many, many happier.
