"DREAMS"
Dreaming is nice,
Dreaming is fun,
But when it’s time to wake up,
Where do dreams go?,
Do they live?,
Do they die?.
Dreams die all the time,
Every minute,
Of every day,
Dreams are stolen,
Left without a trace.

Love maybe something you feel
For someone.
Love is the emotion you carry for
That someone.
Love is just what everyone
Needs to have.
Love is the power of these
Feelings you have for your

Never knew that someone?
But you’ve loved them
Your whole life.

The large wrinkled surface flows with the wind's fluctuate direction as freely as your mother's silk skirt.
I can see your small sphere of dimming light, flashing, and struggling for an opening but constantly being denied by the clouds that follow the wind's blow.
With strength and the path set by your rays (raise), the clouds soon find it impossible to contain your light; and the small sphere is seen growing, beaming, and reflecting on the large wrinkled surface.
But wait! I see that your mark has begun fading and the surface now reflects darkness from the overcast that scars your impression, not allowing your light to shine.
All of this will indeed happen my friend, but know that I will aid in your struggle because the warmth in my heart provided by your light remains constant regardless of the clouds that may glide over my son's day.

The waiting room of faith

most live from breath to breath.
I don’t need a mansion.
Give me a beautiful angel
and a secluded cabin in the sky.
Life means everything,
not when you win or lose,
but when you realize you are going to die.
I am not unaccustomed to evil.
I fall to temptation.
Sometimes I am in tune with my spirit,
other times I move in my flesh.
I try hard to do right,
many times I get it wrong.
I come back harder after every failed test.
I pray for protection.
I pray for peace.
I pray for victory,
when it is time for war.
I have set my boundaries.
I will relent when my nets are full.
Humility and hard work,
drive my hunger for more.

The last twelve years or so has unveiled many masks that hid the depths of generational hatred.
Now, faces are surfacing in the midst of this pandemic that are colorfully ugly
...worn by grown folks seemingly looking back to their infancy.
God please cleanse our lenses so we may see ourselves more clearly
...in order to treat the next person as we so desire to be treated.
By chance if any person not believe in You above, I pray they believe in something bigger than themselves,
so they're minds be tugged by conviction
...and their hearts, by love.
(Inspired by a plethora of recent Facebook posts calling women, "bitches", and other insensitive names)

Cold and bitter, for the December winter,
As the snow fell in the night, all my mom saw were lights,
One car, six kids, upside down in a ditch,
She knew it was him,
My uncle, James Bradley, he left us sadly,
Sixteen years of age, I know I’ll see him again someday.

My heart filled up for this one girl. I mean I like her a lot and want her to be my girl. But to me it’s like she got her eyes on another world.
She don’t see me and the things I would do for that one girl. Tears and blood for that one girl.
Soul and heart for that one girl. Give it my all for that one girl. So that I could show her that she’s special and not just one girl.
And if she gives me a chance I could show her that she’s my special girl. Just like the song, it could be me and her against the world.

Each day can bring new joy,
Like a kid opening a new toy,
Each day can bring sorrow,
Which makes us not look towards tomorrow,
We have to be strong and sure,
That God has the cure,
So don't look at the past and be sad,
Reflect and be glad,
Glad of each and every day provided,
Glad that God has guided,
Things may not be as you wanted

Being fundamentally sound can dictate an outcome of a fight.

Being fundamentally sound can dictate an outcome of a fight.
Scriptures caution us to work while the sun shines.
However, I am behind so I must also labor at night.
In my opinion wisdom is better obtained while often taken for granted when freely given,
All I ever wanted was to be loved fiercely without restraints, ulterior motives, or conditions.
I face midlife with a fragmented heart,
But that’s okay because my heart is not broken.
My soul is safe, my spirit is free, my body is fit, and my mind is open.
My cross is no smoking, drinking, getting high tripping and in this season, I remain celibate.
Each new day I give thanks and praise,
Do the best I can with what I’ve got each new day I also repent.
I practice to be better,
I’ll never be perfect; my goal is continuous progression.
I mind my business and stay out the way,
I can’t spare energy to be stressing.
Drama is created,
Drama is also fed and spread,
So, most days until dusk, I fast.
And the very next time you and I share our first kiss.
I pray to God, as for first kisses, it will be our last.
Circumstance has proven that I only need a little.
And even though we’ve never met I long for her,
A virtuous woman that compliments my role to protect, provide and lead,
And understands the importance of putting God first.
Some cherished bonds bring healing once they are broken,
Some eloquent words are better left unsaid,
I need a word from God; I ignore the voice of Satan.
I struggle to make sense of all the noise in my head.
Fear can drive a man to do many things unbridled,
Anger can cause him to ruin his life.
Years of disrespect will make even the kindest hearts explode,
A lost soul walks in darkness while basking in daylight.
I am thankful for all the wisdom I’ve gained.
I appreciate and cherish the wisdom that was freely given,
I can’t wait for the day that I am loved fiercely by the woman I am supposed to love without restraints, ulterior motives, or conditions.

"Two Weeks Ago (The Professor)"
Two weeks ago, we celebrated the going away of a fellow’s fellow coworker.
Little did I know someone special would be dancing into my life through her.
It’s amazing how planned events will seemingly lead to the unexpected.
Only to reveal the fruit from what was planned should have been expected.
After dancing the night away, time has passed, and quality time has been spent.
Only to realize how special that time has been.
I mean, you never know who you may meet.
Time will only tell if your energies are truly succinct.
I mean, if you are aligned in a way that allows her to fellowship with your friends.
Then pivot into an opportunity to break bread with her friends.
Take a walk along the water divulging information as if you’re decades-old friends.
Then have the audacity to skate the night away among distant city friends.
Or sit atop of a venue where time stands still without losing any momentum.
Talking on the street in the wee hours of the morning after eating with her.
Two weeks ago, I didn’t know she existed… now I don’t know how I ever existed without the Professor.
