Lord, Lord, Why did You make me Black? Why did You make me someone The world wants to hold back? Black is the color of ***** clothes; The color of grimy hands and feet. Black is the color of darkness; The color of tire-beaten streets. Why did you give me thick lips, A broad nose and ***** hair? Why did You make me someone Who receives the hatred stare? Black is the color of a bruised eye When somebody gets hurt. Black is the color of darkness. Black is the color of dirt. How come my bone structure's so thick; my hips and cheeks are high? How come my eyes are brown and not the color of the daylight sky? Why do people think I'm useless? How come I feel so used? Why do some people see my skin and think I should be abused? Lord, I just don't understand; What is it about my skin? Why do some people want to hate me And not know the person within? Black is what people are "listed", When others want to keep them away. Black is the color of shadows cast. Black is the end of the day. Lord, You know, my own people mistreat me; And I know this just isn't right. They don't like my hair or the way I look They say I'm too dark or too light. Lord, Don't You think it's time For You to make a change? Why don't You re-do creation And make everyone the same? (God answered Why did I make you black? Why did I make you black? Get off your knees and look around. Tell Me, what do you see? I didn't make you in the image of darkness. I made you in the Likeness of ME! I made you the color of coal From which beautiful diamonds are formed. I made you the color of oil, The black-gold that keeps people warm. I made you from the rich, dark earth That can grow the food you need. Your color's the same as the panther's Known for (HER) beauty and speed. Your color's the same as the Black stallion, A majestic animal is he. I didn't make you in the Image of darkness I made you in the Likeness of Me! All the colors of a Heavenly Rainbow Can be found throughout every nation; And when all those colors were blended well, YOU BECAME MY GREATEST CREATION. Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool Such a humble, little creature is he. I am the Shepherd who watches them. I am the One who will watch over thee. You are the color of midnight-sky, I put the stars' glitter in your eyes. There's a smile hidden behind your pain That's the reason your cheeks are high. You are the color of dark clouds formed when I send My strongest weather. I made your lips full so when you kiss the one you love they will remember. Your stature is strong; your bone structure, thick to withstand the burdens of time. The reflection you see in the mirror... The Image looking back at you is MINE! -by RuNett Nia Ebo

You always give He receives You're always there for him He's rarely present for you Is this one-sided? You give time but he's too busy You try to make him laugh but he's not happy You're expecting You're waiting But you know very well It is unrequited For this love will only be true to you But will never be to him Remember, this is one-sided.

One-sided
A friend of mine walked up to me and asked me: "What is a good woman?" I replied "you would know if you were a good man" He said "Stop joking I really wanna know" "There is no definite answer, but when you meet one, it will show" There are many characteristics that make a good woman, but it would take days to speak them all Since my friend brought this to mind, I thought I would list a few for y'all A woman who is proud of what she brings and won't complain over petty things A woman who is well spoken and not opposed to listening because communication is key from the beginning A woman who is wise and able to realize the pit you are in doesn't matter because she will help your rise A woman who wouldn't try to control her man but also wouldn't be a doormat And when trouble comes up, her feet won't be flat (she's ready to go) A woman who never stops believing in the man that you are and the man you can become So much confidence in you, it almost makes her seem dumb A virtuous woman who prays for you more than she prays for herself Remembering God is number one above all else A woman who tries to pay for herself before you can offer Knowing the difference between selfless and selfish is something you should prefer A woman with the power of forgiveness But don't abuse it Because a good woman is not stupid She will lose it You will lose her and have no one to blame when your heart takes the hit If you hurt a good woman, in my eyes, you aren't worth the saliva I spit The ice cream no one would lick The one that gets thrown down in hope ants would leave a picnic To pick apart your existence Use your common sense Realize what's in front of you and cherish it Woman is the title a female receives at a certain age But it takes a good man to realize a good woman is on the next page I'm not saying a good woman needs to have this quote for quote I don't think any woman does, if so, let me know I haven't met any besides my family, but I don't go down that road I'm being patient, waiting for my good woman is giving me time to grow So I can give her the best Brandon Everett Davis, the world doesn't know To not be on their level, would be a sin Let's become better men for these good women

A Good Woman

You are the sky While I'm of dirt and earth Sharing the universe in separate realms Conflicting factions, diverse births I would forever look up Rest my gaze on the tide of the air And dream for our eyes to meet Temporary eternity that we would share I've cried many a teardrop But you can never know Because to you they never could reach For into my core they'd only flow But when you stare down sullenly Your tears would fall, soaking my plane I'd drink the drops voraciously Those gifts of love from heaven's rain Your tears would nurture the seeds I've planted They'd take root and flourish in the sun Resolve in my soil held firmly in place Thinking our journey forth would've then begun Roots would give birth to stem Which in turn, would branch out into leaves Plantling will eventually grow up high To give back the love, it constantly receives Such misfortune little sprout You can only grow so tall You can never reach that far You and I can only kiss the drops that fall So... My beautiful sky of azure I am but dust on fate's heavy feet We can only look to the faraway horizon Only there could heaven and earth truly meet

Heaven & Earth
Dawn in New York has four columns of mire and a hurricane of black pigeons splashing in the putrid waters. Dawn in New York groans on enormous fire escapes searching between the angles for spikenards of drafted anguish. Dawn arrives and no one receives it in his mouth because morning and hope are impossible there: sometimes the furious swarming coins penetrate like drills and devour abandoned children. Those who go out early know in their bones there will be no paradise or loves that bloom and die: they know they will be mired in numbers and laws, in mindless games, in fruitless labors. The light is buried under chains and noises in the impudent challenge of rootless science. And crowds stagger sleeplessly through the boroughs as if they had just escaped a shipwreck of blood.

Dawn
This salt in the saltcellar I once saw in the salt mines. I know you won't believe me, but it sings, salt sings, the skin of the salt mines sings with a mouth smothered by the earth. I shivered in those solitudes when I heard the voice of the salt in the desert. Near Antofagasta the nitrous pampa resounds: a broken voice, a mournful song. In its caves the salt moans, mountain of buried light, translucent cathedral, crystal of the sea, oblivion of the waves. And then on every table in the world, salt, we see your piquant powder sprinkling vital light upon our food. Preserver of the ancient holds of ships, discoverer on the high seas, earliest sailor of the unknown, shifting byways of the foam. Dust of the sea, in you the tongue receives a kiss from ocean night: taste imparts to every seasoned dish your ocean essence; the smallest, miniature wave from the saltcellar reveals to us more than domestic whiteness; in it, we taste infinitude.

Ode To Salt
Cleanliness is something that you learn when your mom washes your hair and reminds you to brush your teeth before bed. It isn't something you think about, it's something you do out of habit. Cleanliness is something you memorize, you don't associate it with someone's ****** history until their history writes itself into your present and future. It receives a new meaning once you wash your hair and brush your teeth and you somehow still don't feel clean.

Clean
We talk of taxes, and I call you friend; Well, such you are,—but well enough we know How thick about us root, how rankly grow Those subtle weeds no man has need to tend, That flourish through neglect, and soon must send Perfume too sweet upon us and overthrow Our steady senses; how such matters go We are aware, and how such matters end. Yet shall be told no meagre passion here; With lovers such as we forevermore Isolde drinks the draught, and Guinevere Receives the Table’s ruin through her door, Francesca, with the loud surf at her ear, Lets fall the colored book upon the floor.

We Talk Of Taxes, And I Call You Friend
Why do you love the one you do? Arrogant as he lives Intriguing minds have not a clue. He cheats, he lies and receives your endless forgives Security he cannot propose Financially, spiritually, emotional or otherwise. Love unfaithfully he bestows Disguised as Christian he justifies. Smothered in the cocoon of his limited sphere, Hinders flight for the beautiful butterfly, Egotistically the coward oozes insincere. Sadly pondering, inquiring minds ask Why?

Why
She tends her cactus garden, beads of perspiration, works with a maniacal absorption. One of many visitors she receives yet looking at each other's eyes dawned this quick realization; similar maniacal obsession and passion. A tornado she was, self created, in her swirl uprooted many huge trees, even tombstones by the sheer force unleashed, with her poetic flourish. Love of a crazy woman with effervescent creative  surge, is a magical portion brewed by a witch , in her forbidden rituals, night after dark night. Injured by conjugal lust, unrequited prompted to walk the garden path holding hands of lovers, one after the other, who took her to wilderness, deeper and deeper and at the end to a blind alley, life was a tribal dance, from where return was impossible. She never had to apologize to her mate, who for all the world to see, remained  with her till he went behind the curtain. Imagine a life, a walk through a cactus garden,where sharp thorns would nip, searing pain and bleeding has its moments of exhilaration. Life pulsated wildly for her on such notions, (There were many who walked with her for each adventure) They met, poetry flowed like wine, she had a rare warmth seen in women of such creative combinations, she feared nothing, but  her truth made many squirm. Midnight dances of her and her friends gypsy bunch, attained such fame.But all ended in a great  betrayal, she was deep down a naive woman, craving for love, to immerse in it. On occasions she would change identities at will, she was one but many there wasn't any one like her before or after. They would walk through the witch's cactus patch, somnambulists reciting poems, when they are together, in private, cactus spine criss- crossed his skin her nail wrote poems on the back of the lover of the moment, each one bled like soldiers in combat. One monsoon night brought everything to an end, the cactus garden was trampled by big grey wolves, the journey met with an abrupt end. What is she, cactus herself, vampire, witch, lover indefatigable, with the heart of a lion? Erotomaniacal  poetic surge, yet a fantasy in flesh and blood? **They buried her in a cactus garden away from town not even ten people arrived to mourn, not even all her lovers, had time that afternoon. Her songs of pain, pierced hearts and they still shed tears, cactus garden, it was--- the metaphor perfected by her life and death.**

52 Hertz Whale
This sunlight shames November where he grieves In dead red leaves, and will not let him shun The day, though bough with bough be over-run. But with a blessing every glade receives High salutation; while from hillock-eaves The deer gaze calling, dappled white and dun, As if, being foresters of old, the sun Had marked them with the shade of forest-leaves. Here dawn to-day unveiled her magic glass; Here noon now gives the thirst and takes the dew; Till eve bring rest when other good things pass. And here the lost hours the lost hours renew While I still lead my shadow o’er the grass, Nor know, for longing, that which I should do.

Autumn Idleness
Blindness haunts the king who seeks In vain do riches question - but- A beggar with a poor man's coat Receives the greatest wisdom. We, of sound and sturdy mind Sniff rich bouquets of vanity -but- Fine wine is pressed by she who raves Her hems stained with insanity. Old men would have learn'd much Had they been thus styl'd -and- There are no wiser phrases brought Than those of a child.

Barack Obama Is a fork tongued devil Who supports abortions And homosexual marriage The Lord said His hand of judgement will come Against the U.S. The first devastation will hit There will be another right on its heels A series of devastating events Look to the skies---- (nuke) Look to the seas---(tsunami) Look to the earth---(earthquake) People being killed with guns Marshall Law The United States will fall Because of its wickedness The U.S. will decrease And Israel will increase It will happen These things will happen before His return The sword will be the nuclear war Drought from no rains Pestilence new strain of disease 5 year war Then famine Fill up storehouses Landscape of America will change Waterways will become poisonous Sun will emit flashes of radiation His hand is on the weather (Hand of the Lord) Ocean will come as far as the Rockies Geological plates will shift Russians will attack infrastructure Of the nation A nation of lies Darkness will overcome A deep darkness will cover The people Because they love the lies The Lord said to her, "Do not despair my children Out of the darkness Comes the glorious light."

Dr. Patricia Green Receives Word From The Lord (Yaweh Will Destroy America)
That's what my name is my given name, that is it means Natural Spring (of water) but, it does not mean it's me How can a name, given to you                     by those who never truly saw you, belong to you? It belongs to them. as does Pinar,                   the girl that's molded to their liking                   the safe girl, the one who is never a risk                   the girl who receives love, when she plays by the rules                   the girl who serves as a mirror, of their own merits                   the girl whose duty overrides her every desire                   the girl whose soul screams, but no one is there to hear it                   the girl that exists, only around them MY name, good sir, is Penny It is a name given to me by a six-year old girl it felt true, to be seen by the eyes of a child to be graced, by that purity with a name to call my own                                    Penny. A name given, innocently and so I claim my true name be Not what was given to me, but was seen, of me --PY

* "Our cattle graze, the wind breathes." -Garcilaso * It was my ancient voice ignorant of thick bitter juices. I sense it lapping my feet beneath the fragile wet ferns. Ay, ancient voice of my love, ay, voice of my truth, ay, voice of my open flank, when all the roses flowed from my tongue and grass knew nothing of horses' impassive teeth! Here are you drinking my blood, drinking my tedious childhood mood, while in the wind my eyes are bludgeoned by aluminum and drunken voices. Let me pass the gates where Eve eats ants and Adam seeds dazzled fish. Let me return, manikins with horns, to the grove where I stretch and leap with joy. I know a rite so secret it requires an old rusty pin and I know the horror of open eyes on a plate's concrete surface. But I want neither world nor dream, nor divine voice, I want my freedom, my human love in the darkest corner of breeze that no oen wants. My human love! Those hounds of the sea chase each other and the wind spies on careless tree trunks. Oh ancient voice, burn with your tongue this voice of tin and talc! I long to weep because I want to, as the children cry in the last row, because I'm not man, nor poet, nor leaf, but only a wounded pulse circling the things of the other side I want to cry out speaking my name, rose, child and fir-tree beside this lake, to speak my truth as a man of blood slay in myself teh tricks and turns of the word. No, no. I'm not asking, I, desire, voice, my freedom that laps my hands. In the labyrinth of screens it's my nakedness receives the moon of punishment and the ash-drowned clock. Thus I was speaking. Thus I was speaking with Saturn stopped the trains, when the fod and Dream and Death were seeking me. Seeking me where the cows, with tiny pages' feet, bellow and where my body floats between opposing fulcrums.

My mirror hangs stoic, as silently it absorbs all it could with unbiased eyes. All it receives under the day's sun. Yet it never stores... Not memories recent... Not images perceived from the distant past... My mirror exists in the now. It gives me only the present. It reveals unequivocally the ground upon which I stand. It divulges only in the brutal and honest truth. The kind of truth photographs could never tell. Today it showed me what I've been seeing with eyes half shut. It showed me that, I am older now. Older than I was yesterday. Older than I was a second ago. Every wrinkle told a silent tale. Every tale left quiet scars. Every scar sang requiems of past mistakes. And every mistake costed me my youth. My mirror showed me that... I'm older now because I've learnt much. And I'm learning much more because I'm older now.

The Catholic church endorsed the world today for a dollar ninety nine. -Announcement- Every iPhone owner! sinner, saint or stoner! Come now have your sins forgiven! forgiven if you spill your guts, if you just confess, then watch technology do the rest. Absolution for you and me! Send your sins across the sea! your sins will fly up through the sky encrypted on waves to reach the almighty, the Vatican! the Pope! A man of God appointed by the church yet is he any different than you and me? We know he sins the same as us, the book of Romans says its so,* and do you really think his tall hat and flowing dress can make him any more chosen than us? Can he really hold back lust? Will he not eventually turn to dust Just like the rest of us? is he really any different than us? How ironic he receives a royalty from a symbol of the fallen world, The Apple computer company, payment for our absolution… ...So the world fell by the fruit of a tree and now expects to be redeemed the same way. The truth is not in a man. the truth is not in the Apple. The truth is not in the white smoke rising from the stacks on Sistine Chapel. The truth cannot be dried up. The truth cannot be cured. the truth is not the Pope's to smoke, To believe it is absurd. If you want to know the truth, the truth is in the blood. The blood covers everything. Including what is written here.

The Church has Sold its Soul
SO BRIGHT and soft is the sweet air of morning, And so tenderly the light descends, And blesses with its gentle-falling fingers All the leaves unto the valley's ends-- It brings them all to being when it touches With its paleness every glowing vein; The wild and flaming hollows of the forest Kindle all their crimson in its rain; And every curve receives its share of morning, Every little shadow softly grows, And motion finds a melody more tender That like a phantom through the branches goes-- So bright and soft and tranquil-rendering, And quiet in its giving, as though love, The morning dream of life, were born of longing, And really poured its being from above.

I whom once ran from obedience to you O God. Now receives the redemption from you Lord. For you freely give your redemption to people. Whom once were disobedient to you Jesus. You give us grace and mercies everyday. Even though we really do not deserve them. Yet you love us enough, and sees something within us. That we have not seen in us yet, thank you God.

Redemption
**Here I lie wide awake, thoughts pouring through my mind. How sweet the touch your body, when craving after mine.** *Playful eyes and dancing toes, wrestling to shed our clothes. You bite my neck and I taste yours, we slowly kiss, our tongues explore.* **I toss and turn, try to ignore, these visions now vibrate my core, the chance I'd take if you were near, to breathe you in as though you're here.** *Lips running down your heartfelt chest, caressing them along your breast, excitfull moans begin to flow, the further down I go below.* *With grace I trace, my love expands, this sanctioned sin, no reprimands. You feel me now, passions run deep, quietly your sounds they speak, and as they do, I follow through, through the depths of reaching you.* *As inner thighs, quiver and quake, salty sweet your taste I take, your fingers running through my hair, you pace my face, and steady, there! You groan in ecstasy, your love receives the best of me. I slowly give my all to you, with rhythm we begin to move, clasping our hands, you sway your hips, you raise them up, as we eclipse.* **It echos through these deep elations, driving in intense sensations.** *Entangled we begin to dance, form beads of tropical romance. You rain on me, and I on you, our bodies moist like sultry dew.* **Tell me now, where have I gone, this feels like some celestial bond. I'm but alone, in my own bed, yet here you are inside my head.** *Joining rapid beating hearts, pulsating through our tender parts. Increasingly your warm breath's felt, together we begin to melt...* **I must expel this lustrous notion, to sinfully vow my devotion. How can it be, to have not met, yet yarn for you, without regret.**

Robin hums as she tends her garden while birds perch all around waiting for rustling seeds to fill the slender columns. Humming birds hover   to sip sweet nectar mixed for them alone. On concert nights her voice takes flight. and fills the hall with her radiant soul. On quiet mornings graphite joins with paper and a flower's form and meaning are captured by her vision. A friend fallen ill or reeling from loss receives her gift of comfort words and a card or meal soon follows. Grandchildren rush to greet her and happily fill her arms. at night they cloak themselves In love quilts sewn by Grandma’s hands. If you want to learn how love abides or long to know its fullness follow my Robin for a day Her gift is in the gifting. July, 2006

A Second Chance (Italian Sonnet)
Flashing light paranoia Insecure and dark Dressed to hide a wounded heart As she implores ya to make a start Like a vampire with skinny teeth Making love under painful art What does she see when she looks at me? Does she want to tear it apart? Coming from the mountaintops Are voices singing out If only I could hear what they sang about I'm counting on a soulful shout She makes her way across the floor Still unsure of what she's without But when she reaches out for something She receives a little doubt Never mind the lights Never mind what they hide The song will say it's what's inside It's alright to be shy But when the time comes for showing up Saying hello and not goodbye I hope you know that rejection hurts But regret will watch you die

To the Woman I'll Always Regret Not Reaching Out To
. *Tumbling stones rumble unheard, a slide that sends gravity shifting, starting a new path through time, the butterfly effect begins shifting.* i. The ancient track is solid beneath her feet, though she has walked between the stars. She knows not the place but has been there before, And the trail wends its way through forest dense and dark to a hags tooth mound and the Tomb of Travellers, upon the stone door an inscription, a warning. 'Prepare to go everywhere. Prepare to go nowhere' ii. *“Let time take me wither it will, be it fluid or be it still”.* iii. The slow grating of stone on stone as the door swings open, light penetrating the gloom, and the Tomb reveals its treasures. She enters with reverence and moves to a vacant plinth, a marbled seat warm and empty, her place for the connection ritual. iv. A mix of herbs into a secret potion, preparing herself to swim Time's ocean, clear cool water to bathe her skin, awaiting the pendulum of life to swing. The symbols in her third eye complete, she eases so gently into her travel seat, bringing the brew to her expectant lips, a bitter taste as over her tongue it slips. v. Oh gently rock her mind to sleep, just one last barrier for her to leap, through Times gate to other places, as the drug through her mind races. vi. A small squat figure emerges in a midnight blue hooded robe, Grimly the Guardian of the Gate, carrying careful an ancient globe. And her eyes glow with wonder as she receives the Seers Sphere, cloudy with the hue of pearl, its significance is so crystal clear. vii. She places it in a depression in the arm of the marbled chair, settles herself and closes her eyes, letting her mind drift on the air. The connection ritual reaching ****** acceptance or rejection time is near. Will the bond form betwixt them? She places her hand on the Seers Sphere … © Pagan Paul (30/09/18)
