Substance…

Substance...

Anomalies play in the sand while mists of rays graze the skies
Even if eyes never lie what do you see from here?
Metaphorically speaking it’s the very sentiments of life that I am seeking
A new strategy to overcome the catastrophes
Gliding in smiles as the brisk cool current casts us away.
The flow…yes the flow is all that we need
Fluidity in harmony where beaches recede…H2O

A Phoenix In My Mind…

DSC_1332

The shadows know little of my existence

perhaps it may be the warmth of my ashes as they fade away

Scattered I am a wind of thoughts burlesque to their resistance

Know that it is the way to keeping the enthusiast tuned

Next to wounds  in  a zest of a desert pride

Consumed in gloom those fail to see the light shining thru

for its the rise  that creates each day anew.

Alone, with Your Presence…

DSC_2026_01

If no one was around would you oblige?

To the sweet essence of our presence and verbal vibrations similar to a stimulant

We often let the past ruin what may be as we tease thorns off the bristle tree.

Love is just that, it may hurt for what it’s worth.

And although I hope those kisses in the wind did reach you at sea

Maybe those inner most cavities and fantasies tingle being reminded of me

Positive vibrations lead me to you and if our will shall be,

may the rapport mend anew.

We’ve grown to understand the fundamentals of chance

Let’s roll the dice for romance…forever?

Who knew…

You’d love me

Cause I damn sure love you…

Yesterday, today, and forever…. however long that may be

And as long as you’re right here…nothing falling under the brinks of time matter to me.

Lost & Found: Father’s Day Returned

So many say the words to receive no answer.
A hurtful thought that can eat away at your very soul like a cancer.
That’s why I always promised myself if I ever got the chance to
Fulfill that role I would do it well.
I look my father in his eyes and say thank you
even though I may have gave him pure hell.
He stood there, through the fire storms, from the day that I was born,
and here he stands today

Yes, I may be the cause behind a few of those gray hairs
I thank him because he didn’t have to stay.

Times have truly changed, the role of women being so independent
sometimes the role of a father has to be defended.

No one is perfect but some do use that as an excuse for that same  song.
Planting a seed into the cavities of fertility, the true  fruit of life.
No one said you have to make her your wife, but be a father.
A true father, so much more than just a dad,
I look at society today and must confess that it is sad.
My daughter will always know her father
I tell the women out there who act as mother and father…stay strong
Times are hard but not as hard as they have been.
Valued who you are, and on behalf of them I’m sorry.
I’m sorry they he doesn’t get it.
I’m sorry that he “got it” then refused to accept his position,
And I’m wishing….. he valued your worth.
I wish he appreciated that birth that was given to him.
To be more than just a donor,
I wish he could accept being the owner…of a blessing.
A lesson of love and life
The number of men that don’t understand…too funny
Its more than just the money, It’s the value of time spent
It’s the feeling of reminiscing on the places you’ve went.
It’s the comfort of having someone there for you…. as an angel sent.
To those that do… I SALUTE YOU!

‘No, we were all born to be stars, some just get off too soon.’

We piled inside the small compact car smelling like Vodka, sweat, and good times.

Someone yelled ‘Let’s take Marta.’ After all, it’s smarter. Well, it’s just we all had been drinking.  Summer was approaching and there was a sudden silence in the air, you knew what everyone was thinking.

Ralph was such a good guy is what we all seemed to pray.  He was one exit from home on that fateful day.

With a driven purpose in mind we walked towards the next arriving Blue Line.  It’d be ten minutes or so before the next rail was set to arrive.  Under the influence it seemed like forever.  In the meantime, we’d admire a smoke and a share a few thoughts of laughter.  Philips Arena, Five Points… Georgia State soon after.  We waited along with a few others in the morning dim.  There were no panhandlers in sight, it must have been too early for them.  That’s what Greg joked but I saw truth in that.  I was almost at a dose when I felt a sprinkle of inspiration in fact.  Awakening was the rail’s brakes and images of flying sparks.  The old woman sitting by the young lady I met tonight both got off at Inman Park.  Those other guys I believe were migrating West.  I thought to myself, ‘Marta is Smarter’, even they know what’s best.  The conductor insisted Edgewood/Candler would be coming up next.  I looked around and there weren’t a familiar face left other than one guy from  yesterday’s game.   By the time we reached Decatur I had forgotten his name.  On similar paths we travel some of our minds lose tract. Then I saw my reflection realizing I am a man of my own and fully understand maps.  Have been for awhile now and soloist decisions have become the norm.  Through many roads I’ve traveled while weathering the storm.   Further I’ve gone, but nowhere near home.  Then I see through their eyes.  Faces show smiles and in hearts true gloom.  Or perhaps, maybe I’ve gone too far as a train passes flashing, ‘No, we were all born to be stars, some just get off to soon.’

Show me the way to be a better man to you,

I know I’m useful but may not be quite what you’re used to

Mold me as I mold you, don’t scold me because I would never scold you

I mean, when you speak I listen,

Although my thoughts you keep dismissing

I’ve tried to make you understand I’m not perfect

But know that you have my undivided…attention

Not to mention…your semblance places me in another dimension

And it doesn’t even compare to your intellect & grace

When I look into your face…. I see my Earth Tone Queen

I mean, I see a star…

I see a flower…beautifully blossomed

And yet so solemn, without a caretaker to render

The proper nurturing…I am

Don’t deny me, help me to refine thee….

Fertilize my soul, together as we grow old

I see you as the fruit sowed while I am groomed,

To be a better  provider

Its more than just a seed planted

and sowed, more like living in the Now

I see the reason I have always appreciated your smile.

…almost gone

Dawn of A Magnum Opus

DSC_1280
Mornings like this make me happy to be here.
I know that some still have fears and although their smiles tend to shatter beyond the tears
I’m endured to feel a restoration of the truth within…who am I?
I smile knowing I have a clue that life is made up of more than me and you…or is it?
Sky blues, morning dew glide clips of laughter in the wind as coffe shops bring smiles again
donuts and pastries send the aroma near and far…even the breeze tends to notice.
ALthough we all may tend to lose focus…just take a moment to observe nature’s magnum opus
When the light in her smile wakes me in the sunshine’s shadow
heaven knows its knowing she’s next to my shoulders…

Her, Me, & My A.D.H.D.

DSC_2268
There’s things I wanna do,

That I know you like too.

Riding the freeway passing the flask to you taking 2 sips,

As my hand slides in between those hips

No I don’t  drive and drink,

I just like to ride and think….lol

Love when you giggle, rub my hand, & give me those eyes…..mmmm delicious.

I can tell that you’re tipsy,

We don’t have to make it to our destination for you to kiss me.

I’ll pull over right here if you feel the heat,

I got a blanket for the hood, plus there’s plenty of backseat.

I don’t want no good girl, they ain’t good for me….

Bad girls offer so much more excitement you see.

Besides I need a remedy for my A.D.H.D.

Is it right for me to hinder you, knowing what you’ve been thru,

Or should I be a fill-in so the next no smooth talker doesn’t sweet-talk you

Sweep you off your feet, only to not catch you in return.

Love is something I yearn….but not right now

I’d much rather just make you smile…

As long as you can keep me on my toes.

But she can’t be lazy, her motivation & support has to drive me crazy.

Only cause she pushes me to do more…her mind I want to explore

Financial security and doing all those freaky things are a plus,

I need you to arouse my emoption every once and while…..just so I can tell you hush.

I don’t want no good girl, they ain’t good for me….

Bad girls offer so much more excitement you see.

Besides I need a remedy for my A.D.H.D.

You can grab my “D” in public you see… girl I ain’t scared.

But when I tell you “I’m ready, and let’s sneak to the dressing room…be prepared.

Don’t be shy when I nibble your ear whispering something during a movie,

Or I sit you down and tell you that you Move me…

Spiritually and beyond.

Don’t trip when I say life goes on…with or without…because you feel the same.

Not saying that the others are lame…..it’s just

I don’t want no good girl, they ain’t good for me….

Bad girls offer so much more excitement you see.

Besides I need a remedy for my A.D.H.D.

I guess I’m enticed by your gist….I can’t resist

Excuse me when I grab that, when your brother and mother not looking,

Or if I tell you I want you for my dessert when you in the kitchen cooking.

Now, on second thought..when I’m ready for a wife….

That good girl may be what I need in my life

But until then……

I don’t want no good girl, they ain’t good for me….

Bad girls offer so much more excitement you see.

Besides I need a remedy for my A.D.H.D.

Definition of Love:101

DSC_0102

Love is something that cannot be misled or depleted,
underestimated, underrated or defeated.
Love doesn’t bring you home, love makes you not want to leave….. in the first place,
and when the road gets tough, love is the strongest alibi… even in the worst case.
Love is unconditional, keeping you strong even when your bones are weak,
Love seals that gap in your mind body and soul, and patches that broken heart that has a leak.
Love understands flaws but also enhances and molding these flaws as time goes on,
Love is holding each other tight, and not doubting one another… because love is just that strong.
Sometimes we mistake love for lust, not realizing love is more than just the physical,
Love brings endless joy, while lust only leaves you miserable.
Love is a bundle of happiness, placed upon your heart by God as a surprise,
Love is me getting a rise, everytime I look into her eyes.
Love is a dream but yet so real, anticipating each day and what it has in store,
my definition of love, is something to die for.
Love is smiling when I go to sleep grateful for every breath I breathe next to you,
Love has me baffled as I think to myself, for there is nothing that I wouldn’t do.
Love is something that never dies, even if we transform…it rekindles once reborn.
This is my definition of love, so much more than just affection….any questions?
