Women Are Queens?

First of all, I believe all women are queens at heart. They are beautiful in every way that makes them unique, they were designed by God personally out of a piece of our side to be our companion, equal, and partner. Inside every woman is what it takes to be a true queen, however it is each women’s throne to take or abdicate.

Every woman makes choices that will push them toward their throne to become a true queen, or drive them away as they make themselves unworthy. Women, you control so much more than many give themselves credit for. You control the people you deal with, associate with and talk to in every way. Far too often I see women drag themselves down by the friends they keep (both male and female), the guys they talk to and deal with. No offense to anyone out there (we all encounter people who we should of never met) but it is hard to be a queen when you deal with scum. This problem gets compounded when the list of people you have dealt with grows at an alarming rate (if you know what I mean). I may be beating a dead horse but if you wish to be a queen choose those who you feel are real kings in all facets of their lives.

Lastly aside from the people you deal with, the most important factor is in how you carry yourselves. One cannot become the queen they are meant to be if you don’t act like it and believe in it yourself. No matter what you have been through, think you look like (I know far too many beautiful women who have issues with their bodies), or have done (everyone makes mistakes), it is never too late to wake up and realize that you are a queen. You cannot do or accomplish anything unless you believe in it and work towards it. Realize how precious your mind, body and spirits are. Stop allowing any of those three to be compromised by anyone or anything not worthy of your royal selves. If you allow it then it is what you are, half of the problem with women realizing their crowns is the lack of true kings out there. However part of that flaw is due to the lowered standards given up by women. All women are beautiful queens, gifts from god, but sadly far too many abdicate their thrones.

Life Is Short

Life is short, how many times we hear such a cliché, but what does it really mean to us? How often do we even think of it? Why does it take the most extreme of circumstances that we can come by in our lives before people wake up and realize that some things are more important than people’s petty differences? Far too often we don’t think about the bigger picture life has to hold when we deal in our relationships with friends and family, and even with significant others.

We are inclined to argue and “beef” with other people for the simplest of reasons. How many times do we think twice when arguing bickering and rejecting opportunities to express how we feel? People have heard the idea that at any moment you say goodbye, walk away, or turn your back on someone it may be the last time you ever see them. Being as it may, based on the things I believe we have all witnessed, experienced, or said ourselves it is clear that people do not think about such a thing. Before you decide not to say how you really feel, tell the truth, be open and honest, or end things on a bad note, beware of that fact, and be more appreciative and respective of life.

The Power Of Words

Some people don’t truly realize the power that their words and actions can have on other people. For some words can cut deeper than any knife. When you are in an argument with someone, ESPECIALLY if it’s with someone you care about or someone who cares a lot about you. It is in times like this that we have to control the things we say, because it is in those times that you can say something you didn’t really mean out of anger. In those times the wrong comment can never be taken back.
When in a heated argument, especially when dealing with someone who may have wronged you, you must consider how they feel. Even when the other person is dead wrong and we are steaming mad, consider how sorry the other person is feeling inside. Often we are so mad that we say extremely hurtful things that may push a person to the brink. In this day and age you can never truly know what a person’s emotional mind state really is. It would be a terrible thing if the things you said out of anger made a person do something rash (and irreversible if you know what I mean…).
For those comments toward strangers consider this, you never know what is going on in someone else’s life. In a way you never know what can be going on behind the scenes in the lives of those close to you. It’s a shame when we are rude to one another without really thinking about it, half of us don’t mean it, it’s just how we have grown accustom. The simplest acts can turn someone else’s day around creating a chain reaction we can’t see. Sometimes, even in the midst of our own annoyances we can still take the time out to make a day.
Ultimately we must think both before we open our mouths and before we react. That is a lost art in today’s world. And sometimes even when we are totally uninvolved we can make a world of a difference. I have done it before in too many different accounts to name, but even I have missed opportunities. We never know how deep our actions can be. I have made some decisions to act when I saw others in distress that later on they told me may have saved their life because of how low they were feeling. We cannot always see the consequence of our actions, but we can always think before we make them.

Take Your Time

Far too often the young ladies of the world out there do foolish things all in pursuit of finding the right one. Guys do this as well, just because it is a great thing to be in a relationship, we cannot rush to find such a thing. Anything good in life, be it wine or cheese, or what ever floats your boat, they all take TIME. It is not advisable to go running around with your heart on your sleeve, that like playing the lotto with your rent money, the reward can be great, but it is a almost certainty of being homeless.

For all those guys and girls out there, here is something to think about. If you get in a serious relationship, make sure it is someone who you could see yourself married to. Why get serious especially in or after college with someone who you say to yourself you couldn’t marry? I have seen people do this and wonder why things go bad. Why set yourselves up for failure? If you meet a person that is cussin, fussin, partying, drinking, smoking, getting totally wasted, then be prepared for that. And be prepared for all the problems that will come out of it like getting drunk and doing stupid stuff, being around the wrong people, etc. I honestly think some people just don’t pay attention to what they are looking at or getting into, TAKE YOUR TIME, and really find out what people are about.

TAKE YOUR TIME (men and women alike), learn the background of the people you deal with before you get serious. I have said it before if someone is good and genuine it will reign true in all aspects of their life. If a person is good to you and bad by everyone else and through reputation that that means one of two things; On one hand they could be putting up a front and running game on you, or two they are good inside but are 50/50 cause their bad everywhere else. Some people are not looking for anything serious and therefore don’t care, but for those who are think about these things. If you go with the 50/50 or even the game runner be prepared for the results, and when the crap hits the fan don’t be one of the “men aint nothing” group. If you are willing to play with those odds, be prepared to lose…

Space

If I could jump as high as I could
Out of this world I would
I think I would land on the moon
Knowing I would leave there soon

To the depths of space I go
Only here can my mind flow
I couldn’t describe what I seen
Or even the emptiness in between

Only here can the sun be so bright
Only here can one see such a sight
The beauty of creation in outer space
Only here did I find my place

Here things made perfect sense
Peace in space so immense
To think it can’t last forever
Or that I could even experience this endeavor

Who would have known unless I tried
That next to a star I could glide
Eventually it would come to an end
A limit to the time I could spend

Back to the moon to watch Earth’s show
To witness ignorance, violence and strife grow
Should I even go back from where I came?
Only to find things still the same?

I can’t survive on the moon much longer
I need a souvenir to keep me stronger
So I take a rock before I leave
As I lack the air I breathe…




This goes out to those who go through it, and sometimes you just wanna get away, life is hard, but it makes us stronger. I was influenced by the scene in the movie "The Watchmen" where Dr. Manhattan escapes harassment by going to mars. Even he had to step back.

Walk On By

As I walk past you I seem to be at a loss of words, kinda like I lost the verbs
To describe how I feel when I saw you, thinking about what I would do
If you only knew, how I would treat you if you were by your side
But I am not your confide, all because of what I did way back when
Destroying what should have been, changing the future
Creating wounds that no needle could suture, with no clear fix
Here I am lost in the mix, thinking about the way look on past
Like im not there cause im clear as glass, about the way I feel
But it had to happen that way as I reveal, the reasons why that path was chosen
And our lines were broken, the we drifted away and apart
Like when we didn’t know each other at the start, but we came together quickly
And it was over just as swiftly, but I will never forget
My memories forever in your debt, for the beautiful short time
Back when I thought you could be mine, now you catch a corner of my eye
And ill wonder next time I walk on by, do you think like I do?
Do you wonder if I knew? If what we felt was really true.



This goes out to those who are overlooked, often so close to what or who we want, even unsure if its mutual, but yet continue to walk on by, life is short, live it yall!

Solar Eclipse

I was always used to the dark, and the beautiful moonlight
It made my nights a beautiful sight
Till one day the moon decided not to come out that night

The day began and out came the sun with all its might
I would have never met her if the moon never hid her light
And now it was the sun that was all I wanted in sight

After I had grew for the sun’s lighted lips
The moon decided to create a solar eclipse
And forced the darkness back into my script

I had to endure the dark once again
Wondering if the sun would still be my friend
But light and dark will never blend

Now I left my moon in a way I can’t comprehend
But I was excited to see the sun once again
But it was too late, the sun decided to set around the worlds end

I wonder what it would have been like to enjoy the sun
Now my days are cloudy and I seem to of lost my grip
All because of a solar eclipse…




This one goes out to anybody who ever had to sacrifice someone for the other

Poetry In Motion

Tall, dark, and handsome, smoother than baby lotion
If only they knew that man was deeper than the ocean
The ladies get addicted like he has a special potion
All the girls love to see his poetry in motion

To the world unknown, with no chance of a notion
A good example of a man, never the cause of commotion
Hard work, faith and sacrifice, the definition of devotion
The living personification of poetry in motion

If only they could see my poetry
The awkward little things that makes me, me
Cause being who I am sets me free
Like me you will, I guarantee
And if you don’t then I won’t plea
But all I know is most agree
Now look at everyone checking out my poetry......... in motion




This one i wrote about myself, had to toot my own horn here with a touch of comedy, but it also goes out to all those overlooked people, sometimes we don't realize how great we really are.

Just Like A Star

Just like a star can fall out the sky
Just like you can lose that look in your eye
Just like my love waits in standby
In faith and God I will have to rely

Just like a star is how my love endures
Through the test of time our love tours
That’s why I know my love is mature
Because I know, what I feel is for sure

Just like a star burns with fire
Only for you my heart desires
If only you knew how your love inspired
If only my love never backfired…..

Just like a star shines oh so bright
When things get dark I won’t give up the fight
Even when there is no peace in sight
Together we can light up any night

Just like a star is beautiful and strong
Especially when love can do no wrong
Hopefully no matter what we will get along
And both of us can end up where we belong

Just like a star will never end
It’s possible I could risk a dear friend
Because some wounds never mend
Because two hearts are unable to blend




This was written for someone special at the time, who will always be special to me no matter what, and is clearly influenced by "Just Like A Star" by Corrine Baily Rae

Choice To Make

Some many decisions I have yet to make
About the fate of many hearts to break
Should I hear your warning and protect myself?
Maybe I should step back and put my heart on the shelf?

Last time I put my heart out there I ended up humbled
You didn’t mean to, but my heart u still fumbled
Whose fault was that? I guess mine for trying
But life without love is only good for dying

Here we stand at a crossroads in our lives
Down this path, only one type of “ship” can survive
If only there was some way for everything to thrive
For yours and mine futures to collide

So here I stand with a choice to make
About the fate of two hearts to break
If everything happens for a reason
Then why did our hearts decide to commit treason?


This one goes out to anybody who had to make a tough choice, of one person over another, or even if you should give a person another chance, i know it can be hard.

Secret Admirer

I am your secret admirer, because I have a crush on you
If only u gave me a chance, u would see what I can do
Just one shot to see, if these feelings are true
It could be the best decision u ever made, who would of ever knew?

That’s right I’m your secret admirer, as childish as it sounds
Sweep you off your feet, and take you out on the town
Make u melt in my arms, you best believe I can put it down
Lick you from head to toe, cause my passion knows no bounds

So let it be known, u got a secret admirer
If only you could feel my magic, the part nobody else can see
Give me a shot and be the girl everyone wants to be
Let me let this fire lose and my feelings free

A secret admirer, not even I would of thought
That a girl I barely knew could snare my heart
So tell me now when can we start
Cause once we do we will never be apart



This one goes out to that overlooked Man or Woman, your time will come...

I Don't Need Your Love

I can prove I don’t need your love
Cause I have the blessing of the lord above
And when things look bad my family is there
And my friends have my back with room to spare

I know I don’t need your love
My strength is to powerful to measure
My despairs are over powered by my pleasure
Even thought I may have lost my greatest treasure

So what if I don’t need your love
Who really had the most to lose?
Who always had things misconstrued?
Even when it was your actions that had no excuse

Therefore I don’t need your love
Because the sun still shines on me
And a great young man the whole world can see
As long as what’s inside is hidden, then I can be



This one goes out to those have been heart broken, keep ya heads up

100

A 100 days have made me older
since the last time I saw your pretty face
I think about how I took for granted
your love’s warm embrace
Without you, only bigger grows my hearts empty place
So close, to the love that no other can replace

A 100 turns of this planet can only bring us closer,
Right back where we belong
Cause together our future is secure
The test of time shows that our love is strong
As each day become our love’s tour

A 100 times I dreamed of you
If only you could know
But why has thing gone this way?
Wasn’t our love supposed to grow?
At last another chance in another day
Another opportunity for my love to show



This one goes out to those in a long distance relationship, and it was influced by the opening lines of "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down.

My First Bible

It’s amazing when one thinks of the things we buy when we get our money. Before payday hits we already know what needs to be bought and what bills we have to pay. For those of us who are Christians and who believe in Jesus Christ as our lord and savior, how many of us have bibles? And before you say of course I have one, how many of you have taken the time and money to go buy your own?

I had an old bible that I got from home; I’m not sure who bought it or where it came from. Now the most important things is having one, I’m not knocking anyone for having a bible they didn’t buy, but let’s think about that thought for a bit. The bible is god’s Holy word, our study guide for the tests of life, and the most important thing one can have in this world. Would you wear someone else’s clothes? Or shoes, or use anyone else’s hand me downs when you can buy your own? (Not knocking that either I been there) I found it funny that I realized that for all the things I buy and have bought that I did not own my own bible. So Today I went to a store and bought my first bible.

I am a saved man, and I try to be a man of Christ. That doesn’t mean I’m perfect, or try to be, it means I know and understand what god has done for me, and I do my best to be good in his eyes, even though I stray. For those of you who know me and have either never had a clue I was, or wouldn’t get that impression can understand. I am saved, yet I am like everyone else in the world, I live my life on my own terms, even when they conflict with what I know God wouldn’t approve of. I try my best, I don’t drink or do things that are normally considered wrong, and I try to be a “good guy”. However I still have fun and go to parties, dance, and things like that. I am just a normal college student.

I write this to all those out there who are lost or are struggling, even backslidden in the ways of the lord. Living for God isn’t about being perfect, not about trying to act “Holy”, but it’s about knowing and believing in him and his word for what it is the truth given from God. Also doing your best to live in his ways and minimize your transgressions against him, our sins. God knew that we as humans would fall short of his high expectations, which is why he sent his son to come and die for our sins.

Part of the problem that faces the image of the church and Christianity today are those people who you see chastising others for sinning when they are sinners themselves. Others look at them and see hypocrites, and are turned away from the word ad knowing God. That is my fear, that when I speak to someone they call me on the things I do and are turned away. That is why I am often not vocal. I still speak about the lord when I see that he is in need in someone’s life, but I am no walking street pastor.

The bottom line is for those of your out there who read this to know God, you don’t have to be perfect, he will take you as is. And for those who know him but know your relationship isn’t that strong, try seeing where you can make sacrifices for him, to improve your relationship. I turn 21 this year, and I have decided it’s time to grow up and fix those transgressions that I know I can. I will still have faults, I’m going to still sin and fall short, but I can do better from this moment forward. Many of us can do better, so ask yourself when you will take those steps. Nobody knows when our time on this earth will be up? So when you meet God on your judgment day will you be able to tell him you did your best? And lay the sins you have committed on the cross of Christ?

You who might be reading this who doesn’t know Jesus Christ as your lord and savior can take him right now, as you are. Welcome him into your life and heart, believe in him, and allow him to work on your life and change it forever. And for those of us who do know him but know we can do better, let’s make a decision to do better. I might not be in a church every Sunday morning, I might have earrings and listen to secular music, and engage in a long list of things I know god wouldn’t approve of; However I will begin to make my list shorter, so I will know in my heart that I did my best, and that’s all God really asks of us.

Funny

It’s funny that women say its good men they can’t meet
When most wouldn’t know one if it swept them off their feet
It seems like they fall for the guys who only wanna beat
Then get upset when they find they are treated like meat

It’s funny when men can’t find a good woman to know
When their only lookin for a woman with much to show
Disrespected and ignored go the women with the inner glow
Then they are disappointed when they only find a ho

It’s funny when good people, each other, they can’t see
Good men and women without a counterpart to be
If you have ever been here then maybe you would agree
That being lost looking for love tastes bitterly

It’s funny howl how opposites can really attract
But if one finds what they want, they don’t know how to act
Cause they wouldn't know what’s good if it hit them in the back
Until they realize what’s really funny is their own trap

SUPER Love (With Encore)

I am from DC, even though I MARVEL at her beauty thereof
She got past my ROUGUE, without any glove
She is My WONDER WOMAN, she’s come from above
Cause only she can light up my DARK KNIGHT with her SUPERLOVE

I do my best to do her JUSTICE, but she is out of my LEAGUEs
She is like the RIDDLER, her love Intrigues
If words can’t explain then only PROFESSOR X can read
How much her SUPERLOVE means to me

Like the JUGGERNAUT, together we can’t be defeated
Even if TOYMAN tried his best we couldn’t be treated
If I said we were perfect like CELL would I be conceited?
I’m just SAIYAN her super love, I really need it

Our love has many forms, like JAZZ its music to my ears
When she speaks, her SOUNDWAVEs I hold dear
Like OPTIMUS PRIME together we can switch gears
But a day without her SUPERLOVE I fear

Her love is my BLADE, a weapon against all
But with her I am fearless, a DAREDEVIL who can’t fall
Our passion explodes like a JUBILEE, as big as a mall
This my funny way of saying how our SUPERLOVE stands tall

**********************Now for the encore*************************


It’s part 2, the sequel won’t be ignored you see
Like THE INCREDIBLE HULK I can’t just let her be
Cause not even NEO can be the one without TRINITY
Here we go again about how much her SUPERLOVE means to me

Combined, our love, like CAPTAIN PLANET it takes flight
But it only takes 2 rings to make our HUMAN TORCH ignite
Just like IRONMAN she protects my heart so right
But missing her SUPERLOVE is my weakness like kryptonite

I just want to let you all know I love her real quick, like the FLASH
With her, there is no need to KETCHUM all like ASH
Cause we got each other contained like CYCLOPS blast
But unlike him and JEAN I hope our SUPERLOVE can last

You

Every word of this poem’s gonna be about you
The queen of my heart, my mind, my body, my soul,
About how your eyes stare into mine
About how beautiful you are
About how much I love the little things about you
How light reflects off of your eyes
How your lips speak words that soothes my soul
How your hands reach when nobody else’s can and seizes my heart

Every word of this poem is gonna be about you
How this doesn’t rhyme just like how much I love u doesn’t make sense
How your smile lights up the darkest of my days
How only you can calm my storm
How your hips accentuate your cradle of life
How your breasts protect the heart that beats with mine
How the scent of your hair makes my heart beat faster

Every word of this poem is gonna be about you
About only the things that you can do
About how much our love is true
About how you turn my days around when they are blue
About how you gave birth to my heart anew
About how this time around our love will debut
About how every word of this poem was about you





This is dedicated to those strong, beautiful, good women out there, and this was indeed influenced by Raheem DeVaughn's Song "You".

Wake Up

Normally I don’t write about my life until my birthday, but nobody knows if they will see their next one, now is the time to wake up. I will no longer continue being the same old me. It’s time that I make my change now or never, to all those who are reading this, take a look at your lives, everyone knows where they can improve, and for some they know where they need to get their acts together. Please wake up before it is too late, God’s mercy allows us to do wrong and get away (it only seems like we are getting away with it) with it, but it will come back on us if we do not get it together in time. God will try to nudge you into the right path by throwing hardships, pain, trials and tribulation in your way, more than normally necessary to balance a person. Don’t allow those nudge to become too severe before you get it together. Take any mistakes u have made, and make amends for them and live with them, and learn from them. If you have or are doing wrong to someone, then stop, and forgive yourself, and seek forgiveness from them. If someone else has wronged you, forgive them, put them behind you, and move forward for the better. Here is my declaration of the new me, it’s time for me to get myself together, and today is the first day I begin doing it. It is never too late to change, no matter who you were yesterday, no matter what u are known for, no matter what your reputation is, as long as you stick to your change from that point forward. Nobody is perfect, but it’s your own responsibility to give it your best shot, and that’s what I’m going to do for here on out, it’s time to put my best foot forward, and STOP LOAFING WITH LIFE, BEFORE LIFE LOAFS YOU.

Love Don't Live Here Anymore

I used to be able to write from the heart
Emotion and thought blended together like an ocean shore
To let it all flow in beautiful words like Art
Then my heart began to go cold, as it was once before
Back when I found out what love and caring is at the start
Now love doest live here anymore……..

Only one came along that actually concerned for me
I became a fool blinded by emotion, by love’s sweet allure
Very few cared for other than themselves, as far as I could see
Except for my true queen, my Cherie Amour
But I let my love for others ruin us; I should have let us be
Now love doesn’t live here anymore……………

Love is for those that share my blood, from my heart outpour
Love is for, and from, my lord and savior
Room left in my heart after them, I cannot tell for sure
Whether I’m right or wrong I’ll always hold their favor
But much beyond them, love doesn’t live here anymore………..

Now I struggle, my heart is so unsure
Why care, why not protect yourself, why not just take flight?
How can one tell their own heart to close its door?
How can one fight what they feel is right?
Does love live here anymore?


This one goes out to all those, in the struggle, looking for that special someone who sometimes feel like being fed up, keep ya'll heads up out there.

Blind?

Why Is it that we cannot see what is right in front of us? Or see things for what we really are?

Can we really be that blind?

I have seen many men and women overlook wonderful people right in front or around them, bypassing them for sorry excuses of people, then shunning the opposing race as being worthless cause you made a poor choice.

Women overlook the good men right in front of them for miserable ass nigga’s who aren’t worth a damn, then get mad and say that men are worthless. Then they categorize all men as being sorry or about one thing. They try to give it another shot but they go after the same type of guy, only to get the same thing. They over look the “nice guys” for fake ass thugs or so called gangsters who turn out to be miserable excuses for boys, let alone so called “men”. To make things worse they probably overlooked, stepped on, or just pushed away a really good man who was right in front of them.

Men do the same things, they ignore the beautiful women right in front of them only to deal with some chick who they think looks better cause their features are bigger or cause they dress like a hoe, then get their hearts broken when they find out that they got involved with a miserable excuse for a girl, let alone a so called woman. All the while probably ignoring some really good women right in front of them.

It is worse when that good man or women become corrupted cause they been dealing with scum, and they in turn become scum their selves, the very thing that hurt them. When one allows themselves to go bad cause of the way they have been done wrong, therein you get a cycle of bad people corrupting good people. Also, it is horrible when one who has been dealing with scum, don’t even know what to do with a good person when they literally fall into their laps. They end up pushing them away, or hurting them all cause of their own past bad experiences.

I can speak form experience, as one who was lied to about everything from the very beginning, to being hurt, and then some. Yea it hurts, and you gonna have to take your time to get over it, but don’t let bad experiences ruin your future choices and decisions. And i know that i pretty sure myself that i have made the same mistakes of over looking and even ignoring, but its time to wake up. Don’t let someone else pay for the mistakes of others. I myself am just now overcoming this. Of course nobody is perfect, and you are going to make mistakes but just make sure you learn from them. Open your eyes, take a closer look at those around you, you never know where that good person for you is just standing there, just excuse them for not literally having a angel’s halo floating over their heads.

Just like anything in life, don't give up on what you want and what you are looking for, And for all those out there who are the overlooked and under appreciated great people, keep on pushing, it will pay off eventually, nice people don’t finish last forever…………..

Ladies, I Need Your Help and Opinion

What is a man to do?

When he opens up and pours his heart out to a women, is faithful an true, and genuinely falls in love with her, when she tels him that he is special to her and is so different from other guys, and she loves him too.

He treats her as the queen of the world, writes beautiful writing and poetry all for her, never lies, and is totally honest and true to her, he does everything in his power that she asks of him (and the things that she don't have to ask for) to make her the happiest and most special woman in the world. He writes to her, hold her, hugs her, massages her, and loves her with every free moment of time he has.

However all along she was hiding secrets from him and lying, she hid the truth from him, that in the beginning she was toying with him just like every other guy before him, her stories were all lies her word and poems the same as those sent to the men before him, she was playing with him as a fool. But one day she realizes that he is real and she falls in love with him, but not after she still goes out and sees her ex's and even talks to other men on the internet. now she feels sorry and really loves him. but she is afraid of him finding out the truth so she sugar codes and lies about things so they seem better.

However he is too smart, he begins to see her lies and she even lies right to his face over and over again and each time he find the proof to the truth, and finally after over 2 months of lies (which he has stuck by her the entire time) she finally gives the real terrible truth about her past, with terrible acts and all of which cant even be mentioned here. NOW she loves him, NOW she wants to be true.

The man loves her with all his heart but his patience has run thin, does he deserve this? he doesnt want to leave her and hurt her, but he doesnt want to stay and continue to be hurt, he also does not wanna be left all alone in the end, what did he do to deserve this, what should a real man do? why do women (including her) complain that there are no real men, yet they are shocked to find one and they treat them like this? why do nice guys finish last?

A Honest Day's Work

Before the sun ever breaks the dark morning sky
He is awake in the middle of the night
His hair has gone silver as tribute to time gone by
His body creaks as he moves about
He prepares the same way every morning
Off to another day of work

An uneven swing of the door signals its time to be fixed again
He opens the closet of his tools for work and sets his things down along side them
The usual routine begins as he inspects what needs to be done
He shakes his head as he flushes the toilet that someone forgot to do themselves

His back creaks as he bends to pick up the trash that fell short of the can
With a jerk he pulls the full bag out and replaces it with a new one
He gets his bucket and brushes and cleans every toilet
With another brush he scrubs every sink of dried toothpaste and water

He returns to his closet and summons the mop and bucket
With the expertise of years behind him he quickly cleans the floors
With a cloth he even cleans the water fountain to a shine
He cleans and replaces all his tools and reaches into his pocket for a single dollar
He walks over to the same vending machine and purchases another root beer
just like he has for the last 40 years he sits on the couch and takes a deep sip
Another job well done

The soda becomes his only thanks as he finishes it with a deep sigh
The man collects his things and moves on to the next building
People begin to enter the building and make short work of his hours of cleaning
Already trash has hit the floor next to an empty can, where it will wait for him

By the end of the night the man returns to his small home
His wife prepares dinner as he quickly showers to eat
He says his prayers and lays down in the same spot next to the same woman
He sleeps well after an honest days work, until the clock goes off again



This one is dedicated to all the hard workers out there, who often go under appreciated. I wrote this after watching a janitor clean out the bathroom of my dorm every morning at about 5AM (i was waking up for spring training), he actually did his job well, and not more that an hour before he finishes people just walk all over the work he did. Think about someone else sometimes...

Patience

Just Tell me why, what did I do to deserve this

Why do I give my all, and try so hard

Only to receive silence as my reward?

What does it take, where must I go?

Why must I pay for all their past mistakes?

Why did they get to enjoy you, when they did you wrong?

Why do I get a cold shoulder, when I radiate warmth?

Am I a fool? Why do I continue to deal with what I don’t deserve?

Every man has his breaking point, yet I've ignored mines

Why give someone a heart so big?

Is it so it can take more punishment?

But yet it feels so deeply and true?

It just waits to be unleashed, yet it gets caged?

But like Maya says the caged bird still sings

And I will still wait patiently.



This goes out to all those who go through it still looking for that special someone

The Physical Definition of Love

My passion burns deep; it ignites in the furnace of my heart,
It pumps out through every vein, vessel, and artery.
It radiates from my skin, concentrated at the lips and fingertips.
I know I’m in love because I want more than just sex,
I want to fulfill your every desire, tend to your every need.
I want to physically define passion, intimacy and love.
You can feel it in my touch as your skin tingles with desire,
I caress you softly, kiss you gently, and show you my love and care.
Your body begins to tremble softly as I taste your inner pleasure,
I can feel your body’s response, it yearns for mines,
I slide into your temple and praise its beauty of design,
I fill every seat and please every bit of its needs.
I embrace you tightly as we write the physical definition of love.
Our furnaces explode as passion bursts from our touch,
Your body is weak, for its every need has been fulfilled.
I hold you close and lay your head on my chest,
As we continue to define the physical definition of love.


This one is dedicated to the passion of love

Heaven In The Form Of A Girl

In the beginning god created man and realized he shouldn’t be alone,
With a piece of his side and great love and care shown,
The lord created Heaven in the form of a girl.

She was perfect in every way, a beauty of God’s creation,
She was man’s equal then, and forever with no imitation,
She was Heaven in the form of a girl.

Over time woman and man grew strife,
Ignorance prevailed and she was forced into a submissive life,
greater minds prevailed and the world saw the freedom of woman’s plight,
She was Heaven in the form of a girl.

As with all things, over time man and woman began to change,
Man mistreated his equal then the woman returned the favor,
Despite the cycle of betrayal, deception, and everything in that range,
She was still Heaven in the form of a girl.

Today most are misjudged and overlooked,
Not all men are dogs, not all women are scandalous,
Many complain but don’t take the time to look at what’s in front of their eyes,
One of those real men or good woman that they seek,
That piece of Heaven in the form of a girl.

Men can front, fake, and joke if they want to,
Woman is still the most beautiful, complex, and intriguing creation,
Her mind is right, heart is gold, body is tight, words are bold, actions are classy,
She is Heaven in the form of a girl.

It hits you suddenly when you say “I Do",
When you hear the words “It’s a girl" and she looks like you,
When you get past the nonsense and it’s finally true,
You realize Heaven in the form of a girl.


This is Dedicated to all those real women out there who deserve to have the world given to them.

Frustration

It can be so hard to do the simplest things
As a real man you try to do the right thing
You do the best you can to be her everything
However you are still and always will be a man
As strong as your are you aren’t invulnerable
There is only so much one can take, every man has that breaking point
You have your wants, needs, weaknesses and imperfections
Something so small so basic, so fundamentally natural
Could ignite a reaction that you control
However it still burns inside
Normally her looks, her touch, her smell
All could melt you in an instant
But the fury turns your skin to steel
Your eyes are covered with shades that block out her charm
And just for a moment your feel the coldness
The absence of her warm love, your own darkness inside
Time always heals wounds, but you wonder how long will it take?
Your mind begins to think dangerously
You wonder why she does things, and then think why do you?
Does she really trust you? Is there something I haven’t done right?
What must I do, what haven’t I done????
Then just as fast as your heart turned to stone
Your remember the warmth, that love
And you turn around and go back,
All you want in the world is for things to go well
For her to want the same things you want
For you both to make each other happy and fill each other’s void
Why is this so difficult, why has it claimed so many casualties
But good then again, good things always take hard work and sacrifice

How Gangsta Is Love?

A gangsta would never betray his boys, but he can betray his woman?
A gangsta just doesn’t give a f**k, but he can front when his boys are around?
A gangsta hangs around his boys, but its wrong to spend time with their girl?
A gangsta fights when his boys need him, but its ok to roll when she needs him?

A true gangsta never disrespects a woman, and doesn’t need to lie
A true gangsta doesn’t give a f**k what people think about his feelings for his girl
A true gangsta can spend time with his baby, and tell his boys he’ll catch them l8tr
A true gangsta rides and doesn’t run when his girl is the one who needs him

Many confuse “going hard? and being “gangsta? with being a man
A true gangsta is one who handles business no matter what it is
The original gangsta’s handled things with honor and respect
The original gangsta’s don’t exist anymore

I don’t call myself a gangsta but I know I get it done
I know how to handle mines and won’t fake for nobody
I can be whatever way I want to be, because I need not change for anyone
I’ma be “gangsta" with mines and not change a thing, cause that’s what’s up

One Man's Struggle

All I wanted was to give her my all
I told them I would never lie
I told them I would hold them close
I told them I would care for them
I told them I would pamper them in every way I know how
I wrote about them
I sent them things just let them know I was thinking about them

All I wanted was to make her happy
I did everything I could….
I remained true and genuine
I thought it was what they all they said wanted
It wasn’t good enough, or maybe it was me
Cause I still stand alone
Y do I bother

Niggas say bitches ain’t shit
Bitches say Niggas ain’t shit
In a way they are both true, and both false
No wonder some males act the way they do
No wonder some females act the way they do
At the end of the day I’m still alone
At the end of the day I’m still looking
At the end of the day it’s still just me



This is dedicated to all those good brothers out there who are going through it trying to find a good women.

Christian Life

The plight of a Christian is to seek and follow god to the best of their knowledge.

As a Christian you are to seek god’s word, accept it as the absolute truth, and do

your best to serve and spread the gospel. One become a Christian by accepting

Jesus Christ as living a perfect sinless life, being the son of god, born of virgin

birth, and god in the flesh that died on the cross for your sins and rose from the

dead.

A Christian life is far from easy; by nature we are to endure trials, tribulations,

and persecution. It is false to think that things will be perfect for you if you begin

living a godly life, whether you have been doing it all your life or not. Your rewards

will come but we all have things to endure, they are TESTS of our faith, therefore

a Christian should not lose faith when hardships come their way. Struggles, loss of

loved ones, hardships of any kind are part of your test, it is up to god to decide

how he does it, and it will most likely not make sense to us for we cannot

understand how god thinks. Your hardships might seem unfair and undeserved 2

you but u never knows how they serve god’s purpose, or how they impact others

lives.

And finally the thought of how there are so many fake people in the church, there

are some fakers just like with anything else, however the church is for the sinners!

Everybody in the universe is a sinner for none are perfect, us Christians have

admitted that we have done wrong and are sinners and ask for our sins to be paid

for by the blood of Christ. Everybody slips up, and people make mistakes and

succumb to pressure and temptation, for once again nobody is perfect. Man’s

heart is inherently evil but we are redeemed, a Christians sins are paid for past,

present, and future. This doesn’t mean your should do what you want cause it

doesn’t matter, but for one who loves god and what e did for him would give their

best effort to try to follow his ways. I myself have sin left in my life, and I might

not drink or smoke I will be seen freaking at a party again, it might not be

something I do often, but it like other things I do which are unchristian-like will

probably occur, this doesn’t make me fake, it makes me human, and weak if

anything. Ultimately god will judge on how well you tried to follow him, but the

ultimate main point is Christ’s offer of salvation. You can take it from there and

seek the rest 4 yourself.

All 4 You

The day I met you, never really happened, yet we have come so far,

I always knew there was someone out there for me, just for me

I was made the way I am just for you, to be your knight, your king, your man

I will take away your pain, your past; I will wash it all away with my love

I will pour my heart into you, on to you, and let my care and affection cover you

Never again will I allow you to feel that pain , if I have anything to say about it

I wonder if you are truly the one I was destined for, only time will tell

And if time flies then we are bound to soar amongst the stars

Under the lords watchful and ever caring eye, we will pray for his anointment

I promise to never lie to you, and to belong only to you

I promise to never hurt you they way others have

I promise to make every attempt to make you feel the way you deserve

I promise that these word will not turn out to be empty

You are a queen, never let anyone tell you different, always know the truth

I will pamper you with my love and care, sit you in my lap and hold you

I will show you to the world as my queen, and treat you like so

I will be yours and you will be mines, all you have to do is accept

I can’t wait for the day we meet for real as "me"+"you"="us" and get it started

I can't wait, Until then I will be patient



This piece is dedicated to keeping hope alive in the pursuit of finding that right one.

Watching Time Go By

It seems as if I have not been seizing opportunities. I have grown so close to certain people, just to let them slip away, on the same note I have overlooked people just to grow closer to them than ever before. There are some that I never really did get to know better, and those that I wish I never met, LOL. I've made some good friends, and some that I don’t even really talk 2 which pretty much makes them fade over time. You never know who can come out of nowhere and change your life like friends or even your future wife; they could be right around the corner, or right in front of you. It’s not good to ignore the door when opportunity knocks. However I have definitely been selectively choosing. You only live once and nobody can do a thing about the past. We can only look to do better in the future. Never let opportunities go by, seize them, life is short, and you never really have anything to lose, but who knows what you have to gain.

The Cycle

In life we encounter bad relationships and experiences that can have a lasting impact on our lives. Bad experiences are a part of life that have to be taken in stride and used for our own good. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason whether we know it or understand it at the time. Often times the bad experiences of life teach us things about ourselves and others that we need to know to be successful. In this particular situation I am going to cover how bad relationships have a exponentially negative effect tat we must be aware of.

There is a cycle of good people being “corrupted” by the bad. I know many guys (myself included) and girls who have been flat out ripped in a relationship while trying to do the right thing. When you face any negative thing in life you can respond either positively or negatively. Many people often respond negatively by allowing the event to change who they are for the worse by losing faith in certain aspects of life such as relationships. Therefore they act out and carry themselves like players, or become promiscuous, or even decide to change sexual orientation.

One cannot allow the negativity to drastically alter their lives, of course there will be something learned, and a period of recovery afterwards, however we must bounce back. If you are a nice person, and you have face a ton of meanness and negativity out here in the world, and you will realize the fact that it is a tough world out there. That does not mean you should stop being the nice person you are, but you will learn the toughness it takes to exist and not be walked on, and find out with who and where your kindness is effective for others and still defensive of yourself. Unfortunately sometimes people feel like its no use being kind and become the same type of person that got them to this point. If you allow people or experiences to alter you like that, you give them power over you!

On the opposite end of this are those who go through something and don’t learn from it. There is nothing worse than making a mistake, and not learning from it so you end up doing it again. No matter where and if you fall in any of these categories know that the bad things in life are there to teach us something. It’s ok to be upset, and even a bit down about something, but after a while you have to stand up and be the person you would be no matter what, by learning from mistakes, and not becoming the same thing that hurt you.

The Overlooked

Over and over again I hear how men aren’t any good and how all men are dogs, or that there aren’t any good men left. I beg to differ, and here is why: most good dudes are often overlooked and unappreciated if anything. Also most so called women out there are worse than the dudes they talk about. There are plenty miserable excuses of so called “men” out there who thinks it’s cool to live up to the image of the “player” with a total disregard to the impact their actions can have. On the other hand there are just as many shady females, who carry and act out as miserable excuses of women. The sad part is after a while so many become so used to "the average guy or girl", that once a person finds a good partner they don’t even know what to do with them.

There are many bad apples out there on both sides, but this is exacerbated by the things that collective we do, for example:

A lot of women and men are attracted after the wrong type of partner, for a guy to go looking for the girl with all the skin showing (showing skin can be done In a classy way, but it usually isn’t) and that clearly exhibits all the signs and symptoms of being easy, money hungry, or etc, don’t be shocked or disappointed if she is!

Same goes for women, if you go looking for the so called gangster thug type, or pretty girl ladies man type, don’t be shocked if that ladies man is in fact that, a man with a ton of other women on the side, or if your gangster is a flat out jerk to you.

Often times there are signs that can be seen if we pay attention to, now of course they aren’t always seen, and people do lie and put up facades. If you take the time to get to really know a person, they should be the same person through and through. I see far too often girls say stuff like “yeah he has a funny reputation or can appears or seems to be wild and crazy, but when he is with me he is different” OF COURSE HE IS, because he has a agenda. Now everyone does things outside their standard character every now and then, but if you see consistency in how they act everywhere but with you, then know something is wrong. This goes for guys and dealing with women as well.

In the end the old cliché far too often rings true, “Nice guys (and girls) finish last”. If we stop overlooking that sweet guy or girl we know in our lives for the jerks that stand out and have to call attention to themselves. Take a good look at what the people you are trying to deal with are about and how they act in life that will give you the best indicator of who they are. And hopefully these good men and women who are out there can start finding each other.

Welcome To Profound Perspective

Welcome to my blog, this was started at the suggestion of many of my friends after seeing my many poems and thoughts, and the encouragement of another blogger. For my first post I will tell a bit about myself, if you’re going to read a person’s thoughts and ideas you should at least know a little bit about that person. Let me begin with my basic “about me” that I use in all social networking sites:

I am an open-minded, friendly, and focused man, who keeps life simple. I get what I need to get done, done in order to succeed. I have my priorities in order, (God, Family, School & Sports, Friends, and then everything else) and I know what’s important. I just enjoy the simple joys of life like: Family, Friends, Movies, Music, Videogames, and all Technology, and I’m not one to get caught up in any drama or trouble. Most people tell me that I am a very polite or proper person, or that I’m the funniest person they know, and I’ve been called a "Sweetheart" by many females that know me. I am the type that will hold the door and let the women pass by first, or pull out a chair for a lady, because someone has 2 treat a woman right! I am going to Hampton University to get my degree, & make something of myself to provide for my current & future family.

I have my own style and way of doing and saying things, I don’t try or want to be like everyone else, I’ll be different in my own way. I could care less about what everyone else thinks because I’m going to be me regardless. Anybody can come and talk to me about anything, I’ve always been that way, and it looks like it will never change!!! What makes me special is that I am genuine amongst a generation of lost. I strive to be the best at what I do, and to be a good person, and a blessing to others. Overall I am extremely light hearted, & playful, I’m a real laid back person, especially around my friends, I don’t fake, front, or try to be something I’m not. I’m just me.

Other than that the best way to get to know me is to view my poems, blogs and writings to see how I think. As I write this I encourage responses, comments, and all form of feedback whether you agree or not, in fact I encourage the debate because that’s the best way to learn.

Here is to the start of a new blog, Profound Perspective is my perspective (which I believe is profound, lol) on life that I have gotten out of my young experiences. From growing up poor, to overcoming stereotypes, striving for excellence, witnessing my family and friends go through their issues, being a college student and former collegiate athlete, and taking all the negativity of life and searching for the lessons involved. I will begin by posting my past thoughts so please feel free to take a look at my Profound Perspective.
