A blind man told me.
He see more without eye sight than we who can see.
He just rely completely on his instinct.

He said, where we go wrong we use our eyes?
While those who are blind has to depend on their minds.

A smell, a touch, and his hearing too operates together
in assisting him to live.
Even his taste has a place in his life.
It just as important than him noticing the daylight.

I think fear doesn't ever live within him.
Because when push come to shove he has fear runnng away, from him.

All because a blind man stands firmly in tune, of all his surrounding.

Many has turn from him only to turn back.
And he waits(Awaits)
For their returns.

Many has denied him.
Similar to like his disciple's had done.

But if you're living in truth.
Yes, honest truth.
Deny him not, you wouldn't do.

For when you think of your blessings.
You must accept he supported you through all of them.
Deny him not, do not, do not.
Deny him.

For he been a gift of joy to all of us.

Many people living seem so depressed.
I'm wondering, whatever happen to joy?
Joy of friendship.
Joy of love.
Joy of understanding.

We quickly remind our hurt and pain.
And can name the person that placed it there.
But if you write down the good times had.
You'll find it out weigh more than a small problem in your mind.

So, whatever happen to joy?
Where you laugh about those good memories?
Or about fitting into clothes that ripped at the seam.
We must know we make our own joy upon earth.
Heaven is a joy, we all hope for.

We should be joyful.
Once you locate the meaning of it.
I bet you end up being happy.

Some shout for joy.
Some live for joy.
Some still create their joy.
And let's be honest some drink for joy.
Except they seem too high upon it.

We should fill in our hearts with great joy.
Enough that love dictates our action and moods.
Let us leap for joy.
To the point, we don't have to ask the title of this poem.

When they talked to you.
You played them off  quickly.
When they went out of their way for you.
You treated them crude and totally rude.

Now, that they found success in life.
Now you notice.
Now you want to talk.

Pointing out things, they all about.
Now you notice their worth.
I guess certain values skipped you in church.

For wealth doesn't measure anyone.
It's seen as important to some.

Honestly, I don't get your purpose.
While others do.
I perfectly believe you an illness to society.

Intimidating women with threats.
Creating drama and bigger messes.
Trying to represent being a man with weapons of guns, knives within hands.

And attracting ladies trying to do the same.
Within reality , it's a complete shame.
Claiming to represent being a family to the fools that hears you.

While killing another over a color of clothes.
Than crying foul when another rival kills your mother.

Don't wait to your child's killed to leave.
When in truth you should adapt to life and grow up.
The only true gang you have is your father, sister, mother and brother.

To some she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Until, they found she had a terrible attitude.
Then she became unbearable.
But she's still the type many guys want.

She knows it.
She enjoy it.
Which goes to show us that many man would love anyone.

They spoil her.
When she doesn't deserves to be.
They love her.
When she's totally mean.
To them she's a living dream.

She knows it.
She enjoy it.
Which says a lot about us.
About the choices we chose to lov.

Looks dictates many things.
Even, if she doesn't have a smart sense brain.

Hide and go seek.
I don't have to do.
You been the object of my affection.
Since I first met you.

Seek and you shall find.
I don't need to do.
You been the door I knocked upon.

Others, I have found play games of lust.
Only seeing that they lost so much in the end.
Notice in divorces that it's second to love.
And all the memories is erased into the past.

Hide and go get.
I never even tried.
You have been struck in my mind.
From the very first time we met.

I see friends and kins breaking up.
And making things worse.
When they try to make up.

I stand firm in loving you.
I stand firm in knowing you.
I'm very blessed to be loved and adored by you.

Who do we run too?
When we hurt our knee.
Who do we call out to?
When we truly in pain.
Who are we quick to protect?
When we feel them being disrespected.

Mothers of the world deserves the love given.
Not that dad is bad.
But he's a man.
Mom just badder.
They overrule decisions that makes no sense.
And stand their ground in a minute.

Many has the power to make a child cry.
With good advice.
And tell you why?
As they dry your eyes.

Women , mothers can instantly connect.
When the subject concerns children.
Who deserves the title Queen?
Besides a good mother.

Love yours.
As I loved mine.
She's one of the reason we are alive.
One, who will stick by your side?

Who give you candy and ice cream?
When you sick.
But when you're healthy.
You have to wait until after dinner.

Sometimes you question's this.
Just don't question them.
You might have to face him.
After all dad is the enforcer.

Yield, she said.
Before we go there.
I'll need a ring upon my hand.
I'm a classy lady.
Who above a one night stand?

Stop!
Before you move in for a kiss.
You must come to me correct.
I'm a temple.
And must be respect for this.

Wait!
I advised you of the rules.
Before I remove shoes or anything else.
A ring must be placed upon my left hand.
I'm above a one night stand.

And if you a good man.
This you would understand.

Gosh!
I whisper to myself.
Is she really worth all this trouble.

I must stop.
I must yeild.
I must wait.
Well, I guess I will marry her.

Then , I won't have to hear yield.
I might hear wait.
And maybe stop.
Then, I use all the terms back upon her.

Whether appointed by a Democrat?
Whether appointed by a Republican?
Just be a judge of common sense.

Leave your perspectives at the corner.
If others are trying to control your views.
They simply seeking you to be a tool.

Be religious.
A person of faith.
But remember to there is a time and there is a place.

If using your outlook on race and can't be fair.
Then don't decide a matter if clouded by it.
If weak in spirit not to stand up against politicians seeking you to be their voice.

Honest admit, you not there to be a robot.
But a judge of common sense.

Sure we have liberals and conservative minds on courts benches.
But you there to be fair and not base religious views upon your decision.

Whether she decides to keep it?
Or not?
Search your heart to why we are people with minds of our own decisions?

When you see me.
It's hard for you to see I've changed.
What I use to be?
I guarantee you'll no longer see.

The fool that use to do anything he chosed to do.
At anytime he wanted too has redeemed himself.
Redirected his wasteful effort to improve his worth to somebody's else.

Yes, it took work.
And good things always do.
To see friends refuses to be around you.
Cause you're pointing out the stupidity of life to them.
When they seeking the former person of yourself.

Yes, I've changed.
Personally rearranged my life.
Sure I could be an example for others.
Who's going through so much trouble?
Yes, that role model that motivates folks to not hestitate.

The walk to a newer existence will always rest within you.
But only, when you refuses to let others defeats you.
I've changed,
And wouldn't want it any other way.

On hatred.
Don't let it eat you up that you lose purpose.
Before hatred ever control your emotions.
You knew love.

For ever mean streak that you wants to act on.
Realize with any action done.
You end up losing your soul.

We are who we are.
And that enough problems there.
Don't hate a race of another.
Simply because they don't mirror your own.

Don't let an evil mind dictate to you.
While they hiding and advising you on things to do.

Hatred carries a power srength.
But only to a point.
Cause while you doing it
Love is moving you.

Many, who has shown it.
Really have show regrets.
Cause while they was caught up in it.
God will judge you yet.

Within my hand.
I read the holy book of scriptures.
And understood more about the word.
Then from those that spoken.

God spoke volumes in just a few line.
If you love me.
Then keep my commandments.

With self-control it isn't hard to do.
It's strange.
But true.

When he spoked to Moses in terms of the tablets.
He spoke honestly and wisdom too.

Thou shalt not steal.
The consequences doesn't benefit a thief.
Thou shalt not lie.
All they do is multiply.
Thou shalt not ****.
We know life has more to give.
And if we reach out to our neighbor in goodness.
You'll find a connection only getting better.

Who seeks another spouse?
Only seeking to divide their own house.

Within my hands.
the scriptures taught me more then a leader's voice.

Yes, as much as the preacher preach.
And the teacher teach.
It's up to us to let the message sink in.
Cause some change the scriptures to benefit them.

Sometimes , you feel you have to educate them.

Mean, that's not you.
That's one tag that don't stick to you.
Your personality of good just comes shining through

Kind, now that is you.
Friends knows it.
And so do your family too.

That's part of the makeup used when talking about you.

The smile upon your face is totally real.
No false pretense of pretending to like someone.
If you don't want too.

If God needed a representative as a spokes person.
I , for sure you would do.
Similar to Lord Jesus you represent him too.
You might not have the anointing the way he did.
But you would be appointed by a higher power.
To do the speaking for our spirirual father.

Sincere, this you are in many ways.
For many seeks you to talking about their pain.
And you comfort them in the kindness of way.

All things you are to others makes you a good role model.

Love me, as I love you.
Protect me, As I protect you.

Know, as my beloved not to let your heart be troubled.
Cause it will double the pain.
Which I must heal and calm.
Because my love for you go runneth over.

It just over flow.
It just grow and grow.
This you must know.

The scriptures states no weapons prospers formed against us.
All but the weapon of love.
It has the power to change us into better human beings.

Just remember to love me.
And protect me, as I do you.

You are the commander in Charge.
And , I'm one of your soldier.
Just out fighting your cause.
I can't stop traveling because I'm doing it all for God.

If, I read you a scripture I don't mean to offend.
Who better than Jesus should be your very best friend?

The truth in the bible speaks volume over many lies.
Stand firm on it.
And give the Word a try.

It been there in the beginning and even now.
I doubt if you find a Chrstian's to state they ever let them down.

Others might twist the truth to benefit themselves.
All they really admitting is that they in need of help.
So, who better than Jesus should be your very best friend?
He been there in the beginning and as we see he still here in the end.

Glory be to God.
For sending us an advocate.
Who is our defenders when some work to cut us down.

Peter might have denied him all because of fear.
But, I'm his supreme soldier's I'll forever be defending him.

In you, I see my blessings.
In life, I know my blessings.
In the scriptures, I read my blessings.

When many question your existence of reality?
I don't because you brought so many blessings to me.

It's not about wealth.
But I would accept it.
It's not about envy.
Keep that completely far from me.

When many profess their love toward you and don't show it?
They just pretend to impress others of non-importance.

In love, existence my blessings.
In hope, existence my blessings.
In your power stands all my blessings.

Even without?
When others have more?
In you, I totally see ALL my blessings.

To do away with your heart.
And eliminate your love.
Would be to abolish you forever more.

Except I can't.
Your love is money in the bank.
Too much invested.
To give you a pink slip.

You're my security.
My beneficial companion.
And to abolish you is somthing I wouldn't do.

You're not a slave.
Seeking to get away.
Your freedom is secured.
Cause you have someone to love.
Which is me.

Comfort someone.
When you feel they are down.
Encourage someone.
When you feel their spirits are down.

Someone in need of a hug.
Cheer them up with a hug.
Now be careful.
Because many people hates to be approached.

When someone's grieving.
And you don't have the words to express.
Be kind and gentle to them.
They are someone in need of a hug.

We greet quickly visitors within church.
Even congregation members.
Who bare say anything much?

A soothing and sincere truth that we fail to address.
Is that a warranted hug carries so much.

All ladies has grace.
All women has beauty.
Except some forget the two goes together.

The charm the attractiveness that leaves a lasting impression.
The loveliness, the pleasure surrounding them stands out to notice.
There grace and beauty.

Impeccable and refined that you occupy many dreams in a man mind.
Dicipline with elegance that you stays there, at all times.
A lasting impression of your grace and of course your beauty.

Reserve and proper that others uses you as their role model.
Just because of your grace and of course your beauty.
That many instantly notice when you're around.

You're noticeable.
You're respected.
In many ways than you know.

He walked away.
And you should have saw it coming.
He gave you warnings.
And now you act like you don't know.
The reasons and the why?

She walked out.
And warned you when.
She didn't play the game of pretend.
And now you acting like you did it first.

A relationship only works when you apply the word effort.

You know the things you do to create havoc.
And the one you love don't want to put up with bad habits.
As if their opinions just doesn't matter

You look around.
And now realize you are alone.
But in your heart you were aware they told you they would be gone.

A relationship works on touching and agreeing.
And believing in succeeding.
Once the investment is gone.

Then the profits moves on.

When will I be compensated?
For all the years I love you.
When will I be appreciated?
For all the things I've done for you.

Sure love shouldn't be measure in money.
Altho' it sometimes does.
Sure it should be treasured more.
But people see riches over love.

The one emotion that's totally free.
Seems to require us charge for everything.

A penny for a thought.
A nickel for a kiss.
And a quarter for a hug.
And mutiple dollars for it all.

We laugh when those that rich falls apart.
Love seems to be a fantasy of a dream.
When they start heading for a divorce.

Because before the papers are ever signed.
They starts to divide almost everything.

So
When will I be compensated.
Just being in love.
Is worth paying me.

It's a earned benefit.
A deep investment.
We have bonds.
We have stocks.
And like Wall Street investments.
Sometimes love just drops.

And it's even worse.
When it was bought in the first place.

Events happen
Memories don't always fades.
History occurs.
For the histories books to reserve.

Officers, fire fighters and various peoples of society.
Might be gone.
But the occurrence of that day lives on.

They are gone.
Except not forgotten.
Cause the flags still flies in the greatest country alive.

Ministers preaches about its demise.
As if they are present day prophets.
And still we exist.

With the best trained military forces.
Yes, they are gone.
Except not forgotten.

We all know justice comes within time.

That's not love.
Where you holding your love one prisoner?
That's not love.
When you refusing to let them go.

Than uses the words"I love you" to hold onto them.

That's not love.
When you seeking more than you need possible.
That's just not love.

Love's like a stream that floats freely.
Like an eagle with wings flying freely without restraints.
But without anyone recieving

You're riding around with rims on your cars.
But can't afford to take care of yours.
You have an expensive system in your car.
But again, you can't afford to take care of yours.

The mother's struggling to provide.
Request you for help.
And you proclaim you don't have the time.
Or cries cause they deducting child's support.
The courts making you take care of yours.
Somehow, someway you've got to pay the bills.

To the mother of the man.
Many of them does the stepping in.
Even they comprehend their son worth isn't worth much.

Society knows, the differences between a father and a dad.
It's similar like a boy isn't a man.
But you learn the role as you get older.

Not that all mothers are innocent.
Because many sad cases of lovers.
Many mothers picked them.
But a father must step up to be recognized.
And be seen as , an honor in their child's eyes.

Sheeps in wolves clothing linger within the walls of church.
Still moving around in the flesh.
Thinking they better then the sinner visting.

What's so amazing?
Many refuses to see the truth.
That many church men are stilling playing games.

Trying to pretend before the priest.
While looking certain ladies up and down.

The flesh always reveals itself.
God knows which folks in the world needs help.

Go not to the lord unless sincere.
He's for real.
He doesn't pretend.
He's our savior.
He's our friend.

And it will be him advising you about the well dress fool.
The one pretending to be save.
But if you give him a chance.
He prove he's not saved.

Because wolves within church always gets exposed.
What's so amazing?
Certain folks in church knows them.

You have tried pleasure.
And failed.
Now try love.
It's a little more deeper.

All the one night stands.
Are simply a momentary feel.
When you try love.
You can tell it's real.

You have try joy.
And pretend.
You were trying to impress friends.
Now try love.
And win.
You find a good resolution in the end.

We run from things we need.
All because we wants to be free.
We runs to things we want.
When in truth our minds says don't.

Try love.
And you'll find joy.
Try love.
You find wants.
Try love.
You'll find pleasure.

Which you will know is a cherish treasure.

Don't baby sit the man that won't grow up.
Who feels he been harm or done wrong?
Who mostly stays with his mom at home?

Don't assist the man with child support issues.
When in reality it's his chance to prove himself.
He gets no respect from the men that do.
Don't ever be linked to the word fool.
Don't do it.

Don't cover up for men that's abusive.
Even if he begs or makes you feel like you should.
Accept the facts that he's just no good.
All because you're afraid of opinions coming from the neighorhood.
Don't do it.

Don't keep trying to love a repeat carcerated man.
If he don't try to change once released back into the world.
He will eventually be locked up again.
Face it.
You hooked up with a no good man.

Don't connect with another woman's man.
For this cheater has already showed his hand.
The word faithful is unknown to him.
Just the way it's unknown to you.
And if you look within a mirror.
You see a word spelled out for many fools.

Don't judge a person cause you have.
For those that don't can always get.
As those with can always lose.
Be thankful for what you got.

Wealth doesn't matter much.
If the love of having someone true is left out.

Don't watch a child be harm at anytime.
All because you want to turn a blind eye.
Remember God has bless that child with life.
With gifts beyond our imagination.

I could say don't do anything.
Except in life we are required to do many things.

Just don't let the word don't become apart of you.
Cause it will eventually defeat your ability to do.
Don't do it.

Take your heart and place in my care.
Take your love and place in my care.
Yes, invest in me.
And enjoy the benefits.

You will enjoy tremedous wealth.
From all the stocks I have.
Simply invest in me.

There are many worthy advantages to loving me.
As there are many benfial feelings from having you care.
I'll be your stock broker.
You'll be my love holder.
And together we explore one another.

There'll be days when your stock will rise.
As with life.
There'll be good and bad times.
But more happiness down the line.

So invest.

The world is a tough place to manuever.
But it's worth it.
The knowledge and experince you gain proves it.

When you personally feel you can't go on.
Realize you serve no one by ending it quick.

Sure.
It's not easy.
If your inner strength is weak.
But prove to those you feel don't understand you.
That you understand you.

When anything concerning life is done quick.
You leave many wondering and pondering.
It's not easy.

You are love.
Truly love.
Even by those you never knew.

Accept, you thought the world is against you.

Your heart, give it to me, so unselfishly.
Your love, share it with me, with no apology.
And it be protected by this joy within me.

Not one has I regretted loving you, knowing you.

Your hands, place within mine.
Feel the joy of my touches upon you each and every time.
Your eyes, keep them looking within mine.
And love you realize grows each and every time.

You try to hide them.
Afraid of comments people might say.
Know this.
Believe this.
God accepts your tears.
God protect your fears.
He doesn't hide or run.
With him, you're always near.

God accepts your hurt.
God accepts your pain.
Place your trust in him.
And watch your hurt just fade.

He knows your weakness.
And what keeps you strong.
His spiritual love will keep you moving along.

Through Jesus, we find his truth.
Through him, we're living proof.
That God accepts our love.
Even, when fail to acknowledge him above.

God exist in many ways.
Even in the heart of the naysayers.
Just them mentioning his name.
Prove they can't deny his path.

God has power.
God makes many afraid of his wrath.
God accepts us.
With his undying love.

It kept under close security.
A secret only known to you and me.
Our love is classified.


Agents of various kinds has join the hunt to investigate us.
Using tricks or the spy trade to hunt us down.
Asking questions of friends and other without getting a clue.

Even the FBI has classified you and me.
That the Freedom of Information Act won't divulge facts about us.
That's how important is our love.

Even the CIA has gotten into it too.
Having us wondering, what did we do?
We still to this day is  lost.
Do this love we share come with a cost?


We try to explain it just to be shut down.
That our relationship can't be told to those we know.
It's simply classified.
For the present and for future times.

Secretive, we are.
Secretive, we be.
Until we give them permission to be released.
But we try.
Honestly try.
Just to confirm that its just not the right time.

So, we wait.
Yes, we wait.
But it won't be for long.
Because truthfully, we are fully grown.
And hadn't done a single thing wrong.

To the poet.
The one that takes a few words and creates a poem.
You must be respected.

Just to mold words into a work of art.
To some it's hard.
To some it's as easy like counting one, two, three.

To the poet.
That keeps this work of art thriving.
Langston Hughes, James Baldwins and Emily Dickinson would welcoming you.

Like a songwriter describing a storytale.
Many great known and unknown poets have done just as well.
Whether it's about love.
Or the headaches to come.

Poets just has a story to tell.
Just as much truth within it.
Or picture perfect of a fairytale.

After all my effort at trying.
After all my ways of impressing you.
You still say your love is pending.

So as you ponder about me.
Realize soon I'll be pondering about you.
And might also say.
My love is pending.

I have placed my application in your hands.
At present.
That's where our relationship stands.
But remember this truth.
Once fired.
There won't be a chance for rehire.
Altho' my love for you is pending.

Except you might not be in charge of the ending.

The hurt a girl must feel.
When you take her against her will.
Shattered and torned deep within.
From the attack of a stranger.
Or from someone she thought was a friend.

Secluded in thoughts of pondering why?
Finding no answers to your response.
While he has wrecked your world.
And walking around without feeling guilt

Or he saying you tempted him.
But you're the one feeling hurt.
And what makes it worst.
Some in society's agrees with him.

Yes, the hurt a girl must feel.
Even , if you hear a guilty verdict.

Black American.
I chosed not to be.
White American.
That still isn't me.
Just  An American.
Call me that will pride.
Because, I'm in the home of the free.

Sure, my country is deep in hostility.
Because all wants to claim their place.
But when it comes to being just one.
Then, being American bring that message home.

All nationality do exist here.
And we have a honorable slogan.
On the Statue of Liberty.

We might bleed red blood on the inside.
But we also bleed red, white and blue.
With patriotic pride.

Others might wants to attack us.
Just because they can.
Still, we Americans can state with truth.
That America's a free land.

No kings.
No Sultans or dictators in placed.
Just a president with his first lady by his side.
Guiding a great country down through the times.
With honorable troops.
Ready to defend us anytime.


And, we just Americans.
Living in a promising land.
Giving chances to others to come here and succeed.

What do you get off beating a woman?
Controlling a woman?
Telling your weak friends you command her to obey.

Demand that she be quiet when she has things to say.
Get hostile, if she able to still attract attention.
Even from the brave men that gives her a whistle.

Strangest thing , is when she defends you.
When law officials gets involved.
And before she speaks already know the answer to come..
They have heard it before.

I walked into the door.
I slipped and bump my head upon the floor.
When his knuckles exposes the differences of both of your stories.

If investigated further.
You probably force her into *******.
Which leads to another word for this situation.

The violent man.
Who can't earn respect any other way?

The violent man.
Who cries like a weakling when justice comes their way?

Without them.
Many of us would be totally lost.
They love comes without a cost.
It's a priviledge that we takes for granted.
So we should..
Thank God for women.

Look around and see the many reasons why?
We should thank God for women.

Within church.
Many are the congregation.
Really, many are.
Without them many congregation would be seeking them.
Yes, thank God for ladies.

They are our comfort zone.
The one we truly lean upon.
They the calm before the storm.

They have the power to make the powerful men weak.
And it these ladies abusive men wants to hurt.
Go figure?
They should be saying and praying.
Thank God for women.
Because a few forgive them.

Scriptures might state they came from Adam's ribs.
But upon this earth.
We are birth from them.
Yes, thank God for women.

This we must remember.
They are quicker to defend and protect us.
Then many men are.
They quicker to heal us.
When something is illing us.

I gladly aand proudly say.
Thank God for ladies.

If I select a fruit to describe you.
You would be an apple.
One of the sweet kind.
Not one of the spoil of the bunch.

Or you could be an orange
Accepting all my hugs.
You be great to love.

If you were my banana.
I guess you would be appealing too.
I know for a fact.
I be willing to quickly peel you.

And just thinking about a pear.
Which we both would be.
I keep you near to my heart.
Because you just that near to me.

And with each kiss you give me.
Which are sweet and juicy like a peach.
There's no way in this world.
I could not see you as the fruit I need.

You a plum of a gem.
That required to be protective.
And with my love being yours.
You will never ever be neglected.

Like the grapes upon a vine.
I professing to you.
That I'm glass you're mine.

A dessert that's sweet enough to love.

Oh, we kiss.
And do a little more.
While calling it meaninglessly.

By stating there's no feelings involved.
We just trying to please one another.

Sound like words cheaters say when caught.

We hug, we love more.
Until that extreme feeling comes.
And do a little more.
While calling it meaninglessly.

But deep down within.
We know it was more than love.

My world of music centers around you.
It might in the message of Sam Cooke singing You Send Me.
Or, in Jackie Wilson's singing Lonely Teardrop.

I just wants you know I'm thinking of you.

It could be when I'm alone listening to the disc.
With each spin of a tune you not aware that you are been thinking of.

It might be, the Delfonics singing For The LoveThat I Give To You.
Or, the Dramatics warming up on Fell For You.
I just know with all the tunes I'm so much in love with you.

You.
The person I given my heart too.
You.
The person I tell my problems too.
You.
The person that motivates me.

I get lost upon any classic Temptations' tune.
Or , the Escorts singing Look Over Your Shoulders.
And the line "There I'll Be".

In heart.
In your soul.
You know you can count on me.
You're my heart.
You're my dream.

And the little known Miracles tune called Just Losin' You.
With every lyrical line sung with truth.

You're apart of me.
You're the substance this man need.
Without you I would be completely lonely.

The Ojays' sung it well when they sung Just To Keep You Satify.
Which leads the hearts of many guys.

Somethings you can't measure love too.
Except you can try.
Still, you're a treasure to me.

You're the gold.
You're the silver.
You a diamond too.
Least, one I wound measure my treasure too.

You're my wealth.
If I have no money at all.
Someone I can reserve especially for me.

Someone so precious and very rare.
An artifact.
I cherish will care.

One, I hold in high esteem.
Truly appreciate more each day.
My treasure.
A woman of value.

Into, this relationship.
I came unskilled.
Except you taught me so very much.

In areas that I needed to learn.
You taught me.
And I'm not afraid to admit it.
I came unskilled.

My lips were as innocent.
Than a new born puppy.
Who soon were nurtured by its mother?
Except, in this case.
You were my lover.

Your patience.
Your training.
Your ways taught me.
I came unskilled.

The little that I did know.
You took and molded it some more.

These lips upon my very face.
Learn things.
I'm afraid to even say.

You were my technician.
And my mechanic too.
This skilled lover, now.
Owe so much to you.

Once, where I needed training.
At this point.
I need no explaining.

One wears badge and gun and cherish by citizens.
One robs and commit crimes that affects all of us.

One dress well and leaves an impression of wealth.
One wears t-shirts and jeans and get judged by various members of us.

Image, which we judge many by.
But image can cover up some of the best criminals among us.

But who's the good guy?
Be not blinded by the vision in your eyes.

I learned.
I love.
I lost.
And through all the experiences.
I learn the most important things of love.
If you can't give a hundred percent to someone.
Your love is limited, by the things you say.

I hurt.
I lied.
I cried.
And the one that hurts the most was the lie.
Where truth will be discovered in time?
Why do we try to hide things?
Why do we?
When through carelessness we regret the trouble it brings.

I spoke.
I remained quiet.
And just listen.
While others told me the straight news

That love is made for fools.

We all feel that way.
Well, sometimes , we do.

Beautiful black woman.
You're a diamond, you're a pearl.
You a gem walking n this earth.

Build within with confidence.
Worth all the gold and money spent.
The strangest thing the truest of beautiful black women aren't materialistic.

But they are very well respected.
They don't embrace the B-word like it a word of honor.
And they no gonna.

A beautiful black woman is protected by the true men that won't let another disrespect her.
Mainly because they remind a true man of their mother.

A true son not gonna let you disrespect her.
And she is his very first beautiful black women.
The one that truly taught him to look out for women.

If you can be hurt.
You can forgive.
Just being willing to do it

Many times in life.
You will be tested.
Whether it's frienship.
Love relationships.
But you accept the force before you.
To showcase the real you.

Forgiveness.
Why should I?
Is the voice you'll hear within.

When something you never expected happens to you.

Forgiveness.
Why should I?
Will tear at your mind and heart.
Until you surrender in kindness.

A grudge only eats you up.
While only creating you future trouble.

So forgiveness.
Why should I?
Will place you at the top of the line.
When you release the hurt within side.

Trust might not be easily given.
But with grace you prove you're a living testimony.
