Stand out.
Be that spotlight that others focus upon.

Shine bright.
That you elevated highly to be notice for your worth.

When inquired why?
Saying you doing JESUS work.
You been commission to do his mission.

Stand out.
Separate yourself from others.
To be seen.
To be known.

Home sweet home.
We often have heard.
Like, home is where the heart is?
Which many has proclaimed.

As a child we might not comprehend this.
But as you get older.
These are the memories you miss.
As a child.
You remember your little tricks.
Which couldn't fool mom or da.
Because they were ahead of the game.

We all have heard from them.
Been there.
Done that.
Still we try again.

Oh, yes.
Home is where the heart is.
Even with a pup.
Who reminds you of many kids?
They play themselves out.
Only to fall asleep.

Just kissing your mom.
This affection last forever.
We sometimes grow older.
And have to think should we kiss dad.

Many think its unmanly.
But playing sports or even fishing too.
Or anything special of interest.
Leaves a strong impression to you..

It might be his colgne.
And with mom her perfume.
These are happy memories.
That stays forever with you.
Cause, home is where is your heart is.

Recollection for some.
Brings on sad memories.
Except in my case.
Mine has been good to me.

Like their pretense that Santa's came.
And they played alone.
Adults sometimes realize.
We spot check this one day.
When we catch them setting up many things.

Rushing us to sleep.
Gets them caught more.
Because many of us are sneaky enough.
To be the assistant to Detective Columbo.

Still, home is where your heart is.
And all my memories will forever be apart of me.

Rising up for church.
When dad refused to go.
That was just one thing.
That dad didn't play along.
It was bad enough that he didn't attend.

I guess to keep mom calm.
Dad knew when to step in.
Soon, I was dressed up.
To attend any church event.

And when you think about it.
There's nothing wrong with worshipping Jesus.
Which stays apart of you for life.

Just like being a child praying upon you knees at night.

Not long.
Just long enough to feel.
Not deep.
But in depth enough to feel it.
And enjoy it.
Like reading a book that overtakes your mind.
Sweet tender loving achieves the same affects.
To the point you have no regret.

Pleasurizing , energizing and appetizing your thirst.

I, could race against the best.
In hope of winning , a gold, silver or bronze medal.
Hold up my hand, as a proud fella.

And I have been in a serious competition for you.
To win your attention.
Never one to avoid a challenge.
I accepted it, as a privilege to win your medal of love.
Which was your heart.
Which came with your love.

I prayed for rain to fall upon my face.
To hide the tears falling down my face.
I won't explain to why they are of place?

As ,I cry.
Oh, as I cry.

Here I am just walking down the street.
With all my strength being drained out, of me.

As , I cry.
Good Lord!-As I cry, cry, cry.

Some friends have said I should take it and leave it alone.
But, they can't advise me since their girl ain't gone.
They don't know the hurt I'm going through.

As, I cry.
Oh, as I cry.

The streaks that running down my face.
Is easing all my hurt.
And the rain is covering up my tears.
Even when friends don't think they real.

As, I cry.
I'm feeling so much pain inside.
As, I cry. cry, cry, cry.

I can look back over my life.
And say I truly enjoyed it.
Mistakes I have made.
And a few I've learned from it.

A few I have loved.
And from each one I have a certain love for them.
Rather it was my fault.
Or maybe theirs.
I still have joy.

Whether it deals with my childhood.
All the ways to being an adult.
From the days of my caring parents.
To the person I now love.

I can look back over my life.
With lots of pride.

We all have regrets.
We all seek respect.
Even if we trying to be rebellious.

Oh, when I look back over my life.
I can say, I lived it.

Something needs to be left unsaid.
Except some people loves to speak to cause others harm.
For the cheaters that creep.
What's the purpose of telling?

Notice that these suddenly high and mighty moralists wasn't thinking straight at first.

Some people has profit greatly from their ***** work.
For every sin within the world.
You find them all in the holy bible.

Solomon, the one many uses in sermon as wise.
Was no different than his father?
Who had a mistress on the side.

Like, I  said something needs to be left unsaid.
Cause those doing wrong will play like your words don't needs to be heard.

Secrets needs to be hidden from a few.
Cause the harm you done to others.
With eventually comes back upon you.

We know the line-those without sin shouldn't cast the first stone.
But there's always some that do.
And then feels hurt when their past emerges.

Just remember nobody's perfect.

I was in the world.
Trying to have so much fun.
But a voice kept calling me.

I didn't listen because I was blindly walking.
But that voice kept on talking.
When those friends that was sincere mention his name.
I played them off for a day or two.
But a voice kept pulling at me.

I just was too proud to fall down on my knees.
To give that voice any glory.

Some said when I turn my back on him.
He wasn't going to turn his on me.
He placed too much effort into my soul.
And have made me his personal goal.

He knew I once walked in his path.
And he realized in reality that I don't want to face his wrath.
So his voice kept on calling out to me.

Saying I must love him more than the world.
For seeking earthy things isn't good.
But seeking him is a blessing.
That will be  everlasting.

Some treasure you can measure by truth.
And some pleasure stays forever within you.
And by knowing God I have found true love.
That has been blessed by the Lord to spread further along.
So, we can't be destroyed.

And that's why that voice was calling on me.
And, now I'm on my knees thanking him for everything.

Oh, the wealthy.
Oh, the poor.
Strange that it takes a hospital to bring you together.

Gate fences, to protect yourself from those without.
But only behind this facade does the differences stops.

At the hospital, you can't dictate too much.
After the oath is taken.
A duty is required.

You required to be caring to those in need of medical.
And you, with money isn't treated any better.

Sure, you can pay quicker.
Except you still must wait for attention.
Because you're dealing with medical.

And money don't always dictate the rules.
Especially , when the poor see the same doctor as you.
At the hospital.

Love at first sight, many loves to say.
I just never been one to buy into that phase.
It might have been lust at first chance.
That you thought was romance.

Except, in any relationship.
You are taking a chance.

I see fools rush into a world wind affair.
Only to realize later that one of the two don't care.

I will know love.
When my heart tells me.
I will know love.
When my heart feels it.
And both happen when I connected to you.

I finally found my love so true.

Siblings, siblings, the see no evil hear no evil crew.
Who broke the window?
Oh, expect no answer.
Unless you have a very young one.
They don't participate.
They tell everything.

Then sometimes, we get on them too.
When they reveal things about you.

Who did this or that?
Hear no evil,see no evil crew.
Won't speak no evil too.

Let's admit it.
At one time during our youth.
We was apart of this unit.
We know it was going to lead to nothing but trouble.

So we stay quiet.
Except we don't want our child doing it to us.

Advice, not asked for.
Is giving anyway.
And that advice sometimes creates more problem for you pay.

So ask yourself?
Was it worth it to listen too.
Realize that it only affecting you.

Sure you'll find those"I told you so".
But these the one whispering about you behind close doors.

Some states that they knew marriages wasn't going to last.
But when they do last years and years.
Then notice the things they states.

When many states cheaters will never change.
People don't realize two shares the blame.
Advice, are just simple wisdom given to some.

They must take the knowledge and apply it wisely.
For if they don't.
They will be hated despisely.

Advice.
**** if you do.
**** if you don't listen.
Just don't tell them you won't.

Everybody has a heart.
When something wrong is done.
They speak about what they should have done.
When harm comes to someone.

Pay attention to them.
And listen close.
These are the same folks that cries, it's none of their business.

A woman gets abuse.
A child gets misused.
A elderly gets tricked by scam artist.
Just as soon as it's exposed.
Everybody has a heart.

When a homeless soul gets abused.
Love affairs exposed a brokenhearted fool.
And the common sense folks speaks out about the mess.
When they was the one saying, it's none of my business.

Untill their houses gets broken into.
Then wants all kind of news

So, you rather they lie to you than to be honest to you.
You rather they be less direct instead of being real.
For the ones that bold and upfront is the ones many ladies linked to disrespect.

When they come real, you states they rude.
When he upfront request to take you home.
He's fine with you saying you won't.
And get offended when he approaches another one.

You, like many ladies point out the type they want.
And more likely here you will find the best Oscars qualified actors.
They will fit the role perfectly that you seek.
And accomplish getting all of your treats and sweets.

And then, when you wake up from this fantasy and he's not what you thought?
Now he changed when in truth he did all the things you stated you seek.

But now you wants the guy that honestly spokes the truth.
Except he now doesn't want any part of you.
Roles, we play in our pursuit.

Like a gift under the Christmas' tree.
You're excited.
Even delighted.
Only shocked or surprise when you open it up.
That's the way it is with looks.

They could be the best looking person in the world.
When it's really in your eyes.
You're delighted.
Even excited.
To have a good looking person on your arm.
Or by your side.
Least until they speak.

Or try to be so demanding.
Or turn out to be abusive.
That's the way it is with love.

Things on the outside.
Sometimes blind you to the facts of truth.
That the person you set your affections on.
Might be so wrong for you.
That's the way it is with love.

The strangest thing is we try to protect the fool.
Who were the only one that was cruel?
We lie.
We deny.
When many ask what went wrong?
We should have spoke up.

But we remain silent.
Like we owe them a favor.
That's the way it is with love.

Sometimes, it's better to remain alone.
Of course this is just an observation.
But truth lies within.

That sometimes lovers should just remain friends.
Of course this is just an observation.
Abusive folks usually get their justice in the end.

Sad but true.
But this is just an observation.
Cause I've never been in this situation.

Some might be jealous.
Because they don't show it.
Except, you represent love so well.

It's in your smile.
Your eyes.
And upon your face.

People instantly feels it.
Cause you represent love so well.

You've been asked.
How you do it?
How you show it without a doubt?
You simply replies with warmth with an answer.
Cause you represnt love so good.

All the qualities it requires comes out of you.
A unselfish ability of concern for others.
A deep passionate devotion to give.

You have a zero tolerance for stupidity.
When others acts so selfish.
But tryies to change when they in need.

I just know.
And not afraid to admit it.
That you represent love so well.

Why didn't the star player play?
Many question's the decision of the coach.
Rumor circulated he was jealous.
Rumor circulated he was confused.
Some even spoke of the player breaking a rule.

After, the game they asked the coach.
But, he remained silent.
Or reflected the questions.

When they asked the star player.
Even, he didn't speak.
They just couldn't figure out.
Why play a player?
Who's obviously weak at the game?

Then, they started talking to the weak player.
Who have replaced the star?
He gave honors and gratitude to the star.
Who let him play in his place?

He stated, the star player.
Wants folks to remember.
It's just a game.

While some see winning.
As everything.
While friendship is built,
from the memories of the game.

I'm in it for the long run.
It's easy to get up and run.
But obstacles are created to survive.
And as long as you have love.
There's nothing you can't get over.

Some keeps numbers.
And blame marriage ending on many things.
Except the immaturity of those.
Who shouldn't have gotten marry in the first place?

Those that lives together.
Really doesn't have the same rules applied.
As those that walked down the asle.
To say "I do" with the person on their side.

We live in a world.
Where problems aren't addressed?
Where avoiding them just seems best.

Those that stays together understand love.

A trust.
A defense to protect onr another.
Anything divide can't last long.
To stay marry means you must stand tall.
And be strong.

Anniversay are meant to be a joy.
But some takes it and treated it like chore.
Where is the love?

Words written.
Or simply spoken.
Should be expressive.
That you wants to be in love.
And comprehend the best to come from it.

I've been tempted.
Even been invited.
But nothing can make me fall for this entrapment.
Your love inspire me.

Yes, deeper, deeper, deeper inside of me.
That upon any other woman it be your face I see.

They been turned down and try to engage me.
That what they have?
I couldn't handle.
But none of their words have bothered me.
Cause your love for me inspire me.

Forever, forever and ever.

On love.
I'm joyous.
On life.
I'm joyous.
More than many could ever imagine.
No questions?
Should be asked?

Because my joyful feelings is on showcase to see..
I hold joy of love to the highest degree.

I have heard peope testify about the wicked one.
But, Satan isn't the one controlling your thumb.

You knew the moment you stole.
That you had broken one, of God written code.

I have heard people state the Devil made me do it.
But, the affair you had didn't involve the serpent in it.

Even the lord knows when people place blame on the wrong people.
That's, why he created all type of seasons to enjoy.
Because someone will accuse him , of favoring someone.

You know like spring and summer belongs to God.
And all the rest belongs to the demon.


I hear people say that the Devil was trying to take over.
Oh, that's a good excuse to use as a cover.
Especially when you are being bad on purpose.
'Cause when you reflect back you remember the good time you had.

So, when people state the Devil made me do it.
They need to look in a mirror and check themselves.
Because the blame should be directed to no one else.

The player and the fool plays the game according to the money rules.
She seeking it.
He seeking her.
Then she depressed when he finds another.
She knew her was the player.
Just fail to realize she was the fool.

Then, he's on ESPN talking about all the kids he have.
And in the cases of players, they by a various sought of girls.
And then seems like the fool.
When he facing the laws to take care them.
But don't have enough money to do that now.
Which makes him the fool.
And place her as the player getting over.
When in your eyes we just see two fools tht got played.

From one of the oldest game.
Strangest thing.
It's the kids that pays.

Well, you find yourself important only with wealth.
You earned it.
But it doesn't make up you.
Altho' you think it does.

If you suddenly should lose this wealth.
Stay true to you.
Remember, who you were?
Before you became a star.

The makeup.
The publicist.
And the investment bankers.
And your financial adviser.
Are employed by you.
But stay true to you.

They vanish quick.
When the money is gone.
False relationships always do.
If you don't.
Stay true to you.

Those that keeps you grounded.
Will always mean you well.
They don't pretend to be.
It just not them.
As long as you stay true to you.

Smile.
And watch you get a compliment.
Smile.
And watch others pick up that attitude.
So smile.

Reasons we do.
Just for the joy.
Just for the fun.
Just because you'r happy.
So smile.

You don't need no money to spread your lips part.
Or keep them together to accomplish that.
So smile.

A smile has more power than a frown.
Which takes more veins to turn your lips down.
So smile.

You can enhance anothr person day.
When they realize your happy mood.
Isn't that why we see good in the sun and the moon.
So smile.

Kids do it so easily.
Dentist does it because of their trade.
Some doctors have their days.
Still, they smile.
Watching peope in love.
Brings you to a smile.
Do it.
It worth your wild.

He cheats.
She cheats.
And their spouse stays.
And we wonder why?
Least you do.
Not I.

For there could be many reasons.
It could be financial.
It could be reliability.
And then it could still be love.

It goes deep.
It goes steep.
And stays through responsibility.
It's love.

We the second guessers love other people business.
But get highly offended when it comes to us.

Give them times.
And they will decide what needs to be done?
Just like us.

Life's complicated enough.
Without others advising us.

I see her smiling.
More than she ever done with me.
Everytime I see my baby.
I have regets.
But I'm glad you're the on that makes her so happy.

No, I'm not jealous in the least.
I'm just glad she found the happiness tht she needs.
Still, everytime I see my baby.
I have regets.
Cause I cause her so much misery.

She deserves more than even I could have gave.
Cause all I ever did was cause her pain.
So everytime I see my baby.
I have regets.
But I glad you're the one to make her so happy.

And I don't wish her back.
But wish the best for her.
All because.
All because.
All because.
She just so wonderful.

Too lovely, to be hurt.
Except, you are.
From the one you sworn your heart.

****** bruises that makeup can't completely cover-up.
Bruises some apparent others covered up by apparel.

Probably being threaten and harass.
Weak men does this.

Tell someone.
You truly don't deserve this.
Even if a few fools claims thy does this out of love.

Even this weak man might uses this trick to say he loves you.

Let no other control your mind.
When only images of abuse he leaves behind.

Death should com from his hands.
But from God above.

Tell someone.
Someone, who cares?

To every poet.
I've never met.
I salute you.

To every poem.
I ever read.
I salute you.

The creative process it takes to write.
Many can't begin to imagine.
The poem don't have to rhyme.
Or really make a logical connection to some.

But when you are finished.
You're more impressed with the final out come.

Some write for profit.
Some write for comfort.
Some write to relieve hurt.
Some write to address love.

But to ever poet.
I salute you.

Oh, the things you don't know going on in my mind.
Oh, they are nothing bad in the least.
Over breakfast, you're lovely to look at.

We sometimes give compliments when you all dress up.
I'm giving you mine the way you look now.
What I am in good?
I owe to you.

What bad that's in you?
Brings out the bad boy side in me.
Except in a good way.
You're lovely to look at.
Whether it day or night.

Makeup enhances you.
Plainess brings out the best in you.
And these are the qualities that impresses me.

Stay you.
Stay this rare eyes of joy.
Stay true.
Stay true to the qualities of love.
Stay you.
Stay focus on the words of the Lord.
I, as a man can't ask for anything more.

Be my blanket.
Be my warmth.
As we are snowed in.

Stay here close.
Stsy here near.
As we are snowed in.

Deeply we will love.
Deeply we will.
As we are snowed in.

If there's no electricity.
I doubt if it would bother us.
When we have candles burning enlightening the room.
As we are snowed in.

The cold we should be feeling.
Isn't felt at all.
As we are snowed in.

Maybe, this's a blessing to be this close.
I know we have shared gifts of expression.
That makes this a moment to not forget.
As we are snowed in.

But soon it will melt.
And fade away.
But we be more prepare.
When it comes back one day.

It served it purpose.
It served us well.
Just look at the smile upon our face.
That we both placed there.
As we were snowed in.

I'm not a token to anyone fear.
For if you're afraid you will always stay that way.
And be using excuses when violence comes your way.

I'm not a follower of the three principle rules of choice.
Which we know to be.
See no evil.
Well, if you're doing something wrong.
Please don't do it around me.
Because, I see everything.

Hear no evil.
If you in help.
And you should scream or be loud.
Then I'm your advocate , from those threats.
I personally will try to help.
Because fear only intimidate yourself.
It keeps your bravery hidden.

Speak no evil.
Which is a practice in work.
Because many times we let our mouth get us hurt.
But I will not speak wrongly of anyone.
Because in the end.
You'll be judged, by a powerful one.

And we would be no better.
Then those that judged his son.

And his great commandment states for us to love another.

So, I'll speak when evil has been done.
I'll speak when I see evil in process.
And, do the same even if I have to shout!

Because evil just can't win.
It like trying to be the devil best friend.

You.
Beautiful you.
No one I know is beautiful than you.
You.
Wonderful you.
No one I know is as wonderful than you.

You emphasize qualities that others needs to posse.
You give your all.
You give your best.
You take a subpar individual and motivate them to be greater.
You're in the now.
And not the later.

You.
Magnificent you.
I can't think of anyone as magnificent than you.
And if I could.
In my heart and mind.
They still wouldn't equal you.
No way.
No how.

I'm like any person of faith.
I acknowledge God.
What I am?
What I be?
I owe to God.
He guides me.
He protects me.
He comfort me in my time of need.
My couselor.
Our God.

Whether it's in a secluded place.
Or alone in my room in the dark.
I acknowledge God.
And He acknowledge me.
In my prayers.
In my heart.
In my life day and night.

To have a walk with him.
And him walking with me is an honor.
For He didn't owe me that opportunity.
Except He offered an invitation to me.

And I'm glad.
He's the best friend I ever had.

Many get used and abused.
Many are confused to a point.
But behind every man stands a good woman.

First one they know is their mother.
Which is a sore point to his lover.

That's a bond that many can't break.
Then there are a few lucky ones that get through.

Who has the attention of her man?
Every time she moves.

She's there for him.
During the good days of joy.
And through the bad moods.

Most success comes from those that motivate him to succeed.

So, he can testify that behind a man stands a great woman.

Love, let's talk.
Let's go for a walk.
And see if we can spot you.

You're here.
You're there.
You're everywhere.

Except people seems confused.
Exactly, the way they should use you.

You're fair.
You care.
But to some.
You catch the blame for people despair.

So love.
Let's talk.

To adulterous folks.
You didn't make love walk out.
Or even play games.

To brokenhearted souls.
You didn't create the heart break.
Or request for folks to make mistakes.

So love.
What's the problem with you?
You're not mean.
You're not cruel.
Or let alone rude.

So, why do people take advantage of you?

Give me a sign.
Give me a clue.
That's the least I can request of you.

No one ever questioned your virtue.
Your standards stands firm.
Many has tried and failed.
But respect you for the person you are.

Your strength is within your morals.
Although you don't request others to follow you.
But you have a few that truly loves to be example too.

You have the will power.
The strength to leave an excellent effect.
That you're spoken highly by others.

All because of your virtues to stay true.
To the person you are.

Turn to him
Pray unto him
Then came Covid and suddenly folks forgot about him.

We listen highly to the preacher preach about the power of God.
But when Covid came even they didn't think highly of his almighty power?

So I ask you?
What happened to God?

Trusting him.
Relying upon him.
Where is your faith?
Many are asking this?

Some getting the shot and still die.
While others never and they still alive

God's shining at this moment.
Enhancing us.
Enlightening us.
In the morning with the sun.
At night with the moon.

And with every star above.
We are honestly witnessing his love.

God's shining.
All his beauty is exposed.
Right before our very eyes and nose.

We experience his touch on a daily basis.
From the  grass that grows.
From the tress coverings of the leaves.

It's a shame that many doesn't notice all these things.
Until that season's appears for things to change.

Excuse me.
Don't accuse me.
And never try to use me.
For that would be too much to take.

As the French might say.
qui s' ex-cuse  s' ac-cuse.
In Enlish words of honesty.
He who excuses himself accuse himself.

The flim flam man play the game.
Of saying what she wants to hear.
And when she reeled in with his words.
That's when he disappears.

He that use.
Gets accused.
All because they the ones behind the abuse.

As  I would say.
A fool is born every day.
Except a fool doesn't let an idoit get away.
They realize there's a price to pay.

Your wish has came true.
God the Lord of creation.
Has selected you to be God for a day.

Since you level upon him all your complaints.

Now you're standing in for him.
And has all his absolute power.
So what things would you change?

Oh, you don't like death.
So you granted people power to live forever.
But what inner strength will enhance us?
If we never learn the reason to mourn.

Oh, you don't like weather that hot.
So, we forever will be stuck within the cold.
You don't even wants the world to see rain.
I guess all your greenery will fade way.

Essentially, somewhere you will get blame.
The real God planned his structure a certain way.
Each of his created ideas upon earth has a place.

Which you usually learn.
When you are seated in his place.

You don't like the satan and his evil ways.
Just notice to some that good people faces headaches.

And
You professes you can do things a better way.
Think before you take his place.
God knows the things that we can't comprehend

I take a pen to hand.
And write out the things I planned.
And notice that two words rhyme.
And this fits me fine.
As I write around my free time.

Hello poetry.
You bring out the creativity in me.
A relaxation I need.

But rather.
It was a pen or pencil.
I still could deliver a poem.
Whether writing about hills.
Or about thunderstorms.

Hellopoetry.
You bring out the joy within me.
A relaxation everybody's needs.

Creativity we all have.
You just got to challenge yourself.
You know exactly what entice you.
Your happiness depends solely on you.

Hello poetry.
Keep on challenging me.

A word.
Written to prove your ability to write.
Whether in the morning.
Or strictly at night.

I'm willing to compete.
I'm willing to win your heart.
Then essentially your love.

And love relationships is no different.

And earn a man respect.
He will figure your ways.
And know ways to approach

He can advised you better.
Then a comedian.

They understand the love of importance.
But think like a man.

Remember some of them don't even have their own house.
Some still live at home.

Act like a woman.
And be strong.

That if it's within my power.
No harm would come to you.
