We All (Put On An Act)
Do you love?
Or do you hate?

Are you a coward?
Refusing to admit your mistakes.

Do you follow God commands?
Or create your own to know?

Do you show respect?
Or upset you doesn't receive it back?

Do you put scriptures of love into action?
Or just create pretense that you do?

You only fooling one fool.
Must we tell you who?

We all put on an act until exposed.

I Close My Eyes
I close my eyes and imagine.
I imagine a world of peace.
I imagine a world of love.
Yes, when I close my eyes.


I live in a world of fantasy hoping it is of truth.
While knowing some live for confusion and lies over truth.

I close my eyes for a purpose
And faithfully pray.
That those with hatred within their heart.
Will let it fade away.

To this should be in everyone prayer.

Truth and Perspective
He did it.
Says who?
Said she but is it true.

He did it.
Says her.
But we are talking about truth and perspective.
Yes, even if it concerns allegation.

Let not the press convicts you.
That what we have juries and courts to do.

He is innocent.
Says who?
Says he fight charges level against him.

Just because she spoke doesn't mean it so.
We are talking about [perspective and truth.
And sometimes lies are told.

Says who?
Say me.

Oh, But You Do
Many been in your shoes.
Where your lights been turned off.
And you say, you have no lights.
Oh, but you do.
Yes, you truly do.

The Almighty planned things just right.
He created stars.
That radiances with glow.

He created the moon that glimmer too.
He created the sun that shines even more.
So, when you think you have light.
Oh, but you do.

Sure, with them out something is limited to do.
Sure, you can't cook like you like.
And some food might get spoil on you too.

But their various forms of light to impress you.

Make Us Wonder
We have stood before fools.
We have stood be for idiots.
To realize they all are politicians.
Some of the best liars in existence.

They act the part so well telling many fabrications.
Just to manipulate various situations.

I have stood before jerks.
I have stood before clowns.
Just to comprehend they careless about our frowns.

Make us wonder.
About folks we elected.
Jan 29 · 137
Ice Cream
Like ice cream, you melted my heart.
Like ice cream you melted my soul.
Except you affected my life more than you'll ever know.

Chocolate is the only favor I know.
Not vanilla or Neapolitan does it at all.
Except, a few more flavors do get through.

All because I enjoy pleasing you.
Yes, like ice cream do.

Walk With Me Into Love
Put your trust within me.
And please, forever stand by me.
While you walk with me into love.

You can confide in me.
Tell me every single thing.
When you are happy?
When you are sad?
Just walk with me in love.

We be two creating a heavenly world.
We be one another angel and that be without wings.
A strong bond will guide us forever.
Just trust in me and walk with me in love.

I protect you.
You protect me.
And in one another will be a strong security.

Lesson Learned
One hundred pennies I held in my hand.
Then I lost one but wasn't too sad.

One whole dollar I held in my hand.
Somehow, I lost it.
Then I was very sad.
Like a child I held my head down.
I was broken.

Then mom spoke.
And a lesson was learned.
While one seems like a lot.

If you lose that one?
You lost a lot.
But with the pennies be thankful for what you got.

It's a lesson learned that I never forgot.

Look Within Love
Look within love and see love.
See within love and feel love.
Feel it radiate.
Feel it good surrounded by mistakes.
Just look within love and see love.

It comforts.
It has warmth.
It meant to share.
It truly protects us.

See within love and feel it.
It is hypnotic.
It is magical.
And to some imaginary.

In Truth
In truth, no twelve, thirteen, or fourteen yrs old should be pregnant.
In truth.
What?
Does truth do?
It hurts.

Sure, it isn't old in any way.
But this something, many of us just got to say.

In truth, church shouldn't be hyping about money.
But pushing the message of scriptures to be known
Of the two one leaves a forever message.

In truth, older adult should be respected.
Especially, if they earned it.
Then you should rightfully grant it.
Some of us grown adults still afraid of our parents

In truth, and it's known.
Kids learn racism from their parents and the environment they accustom too.

And, yes parents, its reflets back upon you.
It a learn illness that will only ruin you.
Yes, it's a mental illness if this section deals with you.

In truth, many should not adapt to loving prison.
And look within many families, it seen to fit this picture.

In truth, many could add to this.
But at this moment, this poem coming to an ending.

What Wrong With Us
You saw the weight; you didn't see the heart.
Are we not a child of God?
You saw the hate; you didn't see the love.
Are we not a child of God?

We, in general concentrate on all the wrong things.
Making minute of wonder about many things.

You saw the race and instantly became enraged.
But you didn't see that trace of love.

And they preach God so love the world to us.
So, what wrong with us in loving?

If we stuck upon all the wrong things.

Society Ills
Sons, you are pushing your mother to the limit.
Locked up, like it's the norm.
She out surviving everything that comes.

Sons, you are robbing, you are stealing, and this is very revealing.
You are not a survival of society.

Women, you must challenge yourself.
Challenge your man to avoid this or that.
Or the relationship not going to last.

Be like old school parents that told their child.

If you go to prison for crimes?
Don't expect a visit.

Too many society ills.
Where many men avoiding honesty and truth.
What decisions you make?
Will seek your image before many.

Don't get locked to start crying and complaining.
Just go the right path.
Sure, it's hard but it's the challenge to obey all laws.

Sure, a few we all fail.
But not everyone qualifies for bail.
Yes, prison is a living hell.
But you a party of society ills.
If I ask you anything serious?
Make my love all your love.
Make it the more important thing over anyone.

Promote it.
Protect it.
Make it to the point that we don't regret it.

If anyone asks us?
Why we are so happy?
Tell this without any apology.
You made my love all your love.

You went the distance.
I went the distance to make our love
And in truth they can't call it selfish.
Jan 28 · 83
Anywhere You Are
My love is, anywhere you be.
Yes, anywhere you are.

Hold no doubts.
Hold no fear, anywhere you are stay secure that my love is with you.

You won my heart.
You won much more than even I thought possible.

Hold no doubts.
Hold no fear, anywhere you are, my love with you.

Maybe I given you doubt before.
But you must admit there is no doubt anymore.
So, anywhere you are, will my heart forever be.
Jan 28 · 82
I Did
You said I didn't love you enough.
I did.
Probably to the point you felt smother.
You had the warmth of my love like the warmth of a cover.

You said I didn't spend enough time with you.
I did.
But it sounds like a form of self-insecurity.

I did more for you than you are willing to admit.
I went above and beyond, and you refuse to admit it.
Simply, you were loved.

And that's probably one of the problems.
I did love you too much.

Strength of Being Black
Stronger than steel.
Even restricted law THEY bring only reveal the hate within them.
Stronger than Iron.
With each racist decision they create.
It exposes them like down through history.

The strength of being black showcase our power.
With less many of us successful.
The strength of being black often seem.

Even when THEY come across mean.
We intimidate them more than they manipulate to intimidate us.
THEY quick to seek peace, if they feel a coming uproar.
The strength of being black, is wonderful.
In modern times folks can't speak.
It's like clean language is a new thing.
Like profanity is the new rage.

B this.
B that, as if clean language hard to do.
F this.
F that.
Or simply F-off.
And unlike the fools that use cultural logic for usage.
They the fools that can't keep it clean.
So, respect the ones that can.

Our mouths only act out, when you lose control.
But you in charge of that effect.

So, respect the ones that can carry on a decent conversation.
You won't do it in church.
You won't do it with a boss against it at work.
Unless they *******, fools and jerks.

Fact
Indians, placed on a reservation.
Fact.
Asians during the second war, assigned to a concentration camp sector in America.
Fact.
Black slaves, heritage linked to the horror of plantations.
Jewish folks, assigned, murdered, killed, in devious concertation camps.
Obviously, history scare them that never been.
Why run from truth?

But one day, they eventually must accept.
The group you hate the most contributed the most.
Fact.

Then, they don't do research or accept reality.
Fact.

You can run but you can't hide.
All group mention in the beginning has reasons to smile.
Fact.

It's Love
We sit there.
We listen.'
Then we hear God spoke to them.
Really, only them.

We hear from others God created him and her.
Which none trying to deny.
But concerning God he created the most important thing.

And it's love.
Which sometimes, folks seem to forget existing among us.
It outweighs any trouble.

In this world like in life.
We like countries that don't get along.
But agree to disagree on certain matters and philosophy.

But it's love that protects and guides us.
Only cowards crying about a soul gender.
But edited God scriptures solely for their purpose.

Let's all recall God said judge not that you be not judged.
Then, we all just people, with our own agenda.
But remember it's love, and this will NEVER ever destroy us.
Jan 23 · 64
I Am Asked
I am asked, will loving you be sincere.
With my feelings for you be revealed?
If you see my love growing.
If you see my love glowing.

I am asked, so many things
And all mainly concern us.
When they constantly asking me.
Do you see my love beaming.
Do you feel my heart steaming

Whenever we are mentioned to others.
Because they say it's easy to see the various ways you love me.
And the same is stated about me.

And
I am asked when did this all started?
And I explain this is all new to us.
Just to hear this is rooted in love of one another.
And in times we both will discover various reasons to speak.

Maybe, it was your voice, your eyes, your smile.
Which is all physical.
Maybe, it was your brain power that melted my heart by the second to the minute or various hours.

I just know, I am asked just what it was.
Jan 23 · 90
When To What
When you ask for changes?
You might not like you find.

When you ask for help?
You can't direct how it comes.

When you see wars?
They solely exist because of fools.
Peace scary many.
Why you see leaders trying to avoid it.

And what creates this?
Land religious differences or simply old tradition.
Men push stupidity the most.

When you see truth?
It's only after lies been told and your reputation shot.

So, many when to what?
And what to when?
To establish exactly when it all started.

But in truth, many of us are goodhearted.
Jan 23 · 70
Did Nothing Types
We see it.
We see many just standing watching.
When a woman is abuse?
When a man is killed?
When a child is abuse?

You know the do-nothing types.

Oh, be not shocked.
Fear showcases many cowards in society.

We got it, took a good Samaritan to help a fallen soul.
Out of kindness that soul reached out and helped.
Requested nothing from anyone.

So, some of us wear bravery upon our chest.
Neer label into the did nothing types in society.
Who after the pain?
Loves crying, they should have done this or done that.

But in truth still just talking the talk.
Unless it deals with them.
Jan 22 · 114
They (Ask Me Why)
You felt like you were trapped into something you didn't want to be.
So, like an eagle flying free, I let you seek your freedom.
Let you go out and enjoy what you thought was fun.
And they ask me why?

Because it long been known what don't want to stay.
Will in the end only bring pain your way.
So, I rather keep my peace of mind going fourth.
Still, I get asked why?

But to love the one you love.
You have to let life be a teaching lesson.
And hope in time they see the bigger picture.

That love holds no one prison but a fool.
Because like anyone seeking freedom, you must realize it always yours.

Childhood Memories
Some, are good
Some are great.
Some are bad.
Child memories exist.

Maybe, thinking about standing on the bus stop as a kid.
With your mom/dad or sibling.
All being your protector.

Waving to the parents as the bus departs.
Childhood memories reflect greatly from the heart.

Might be time with grandparents or dad and mom.
They exist to share.

Could be centered around your favorite teacher or instructor.
Maybe, even you're on-time minister.
Or learning to fish.

When older?
Childhood memories you just don't forget.

So Many Regrets
Now, that you are gone.
I realizes I could have treated you better.
And now I regrets it sincerely.
I guess I have so many regrets.

I cry when I think of you.
And many ask what is wrong?
I just keep reflecting through my tears.
That I could have done way better.

Sure, you confide in me certain things.
Things you wish could be.
And not all your sadness falls upon me.
But doing certain times I was your ear.

One of a few that supported you.
Still, I have so many regrets.
Whenever I think of you.
Jan 20 · 99

Your smile just a gleaming and eyes a glow.
And now they want to know.

Who the smile upon your face?
Have you feeling joyful each and every day.
Just who

Just who
They want to know.

And you proclaim, it's me.
Who keeping you delighted?

They can tell by your mood you in a different zone.
And that you happy just by your tone.
And all your friends want to know, just who doing this.

And I proclaim before anyone.

You said it.
You admitted it.
I gotta give it to you

Yes, you're more than a woman I thought you would be.
Gotta gives it to you.
Gotta gives it to you.

You said you make me happy.
You said you could do more.
You said you give me more than I could handle.
And every word seems to be true.

And I gotta give to you.
Gotta gives it to you.

If happiness was our goal.
Then you exceeded it all.
And I just must accept you made me the happiest.
Jan 20 · 107
The Say You Lucky
They quick to profess you blessed.
That you lucky to have me.
When in truth and reality it's me.
They say you're lucky more than you know.

They saying many good ones doesn't exist.
And I can't honestly agree to this.
But when they say you lucky.
They really don't know it's me.

Everything I prayed for have come true.
Just by having you here in my life.
Jan 19 · 103
I Done My Job
If I raised, you well?
I done my job.
It's not about being perfect.
Life with kids doesn't work that way.

If major trouble you avoided?
Then I have done my job.
Respect and manners being installed with love.
For others to see.

Then again, I have done my job.
Yes, even parents get things wrong.

If one ouch of faith?
I have placed in your life.
Then I have served my purpose.

If I can honestly say, I'm proud of you.
Then I have done my job.

Someone you can come to say I am proud of you dad and mom.
Jan 19 · 78
The Mouth
What?
What created the problem?
Your mouth.
Scriptures states the tongue is made of evilness.
And when you speak it's to create more mess.

Why?
Why that's hard to explain?
Some lives to create pain until it deals with them.

When upon the phone?
You say things to others that's not necessary to know.
Then when confronted?
You acting like you should be upset?

Why?
Your mouth created the trouble.
Jan 19 · 128
Come Join Us
To you, I am him.
To me, you are her.
Together we are creating a loving world.

Made of joy.
Made of happiness.
Not a single sign of any sadness.

All argument is put to aside.
Making one another a usage guide.
No, we are not going into this blind.

We both have one single goal.
And plan only accomplishing it before we grow old.
All lovers come and join us.
Jan 18 · 119
I Was Him
You reflect and you smile.
You remembering who make you laughed and feel loved.
Guess what?
I was him.

Yes, I am claiming my credit for making you feel loved, and for cresting that smile.
There might be others before me and some to come after me.

But for now, while you are reflecting back.
Just remember with truth and reality.
I was him.
Jan 18 · 75
I Stood Before God
Yes, I stood before God and lay out my sins.
--lay out my sins
Just to hear Him say he still my friend.

Yes, I stood before God
--I stood before God
And lay out my sins while knowing He alone is my main judge

Whenever in trouble?
We all turn to him while seeking to be forgiven.
All because we have been taught that what we should do.

I stood before God and cried many tears.
--cried many tears
Just to hear him say, my son come near.

He listens to my hurt of the things I did and told me to not let occur again.

Oh, I stood before God

--I stood before him.

Yes, I stood before him

I stood before God because I am his child

Love looks good on you.
Jan 15 · 132
You Taught Me Well
I read many novels.
Yes, many, many books.
But it took trial and tribulations to make love work.

All the chapters and summaries were good to read.
But it took living and learning to teach me.
That no writer of book could ever do.

You were my teacher.
My educator.
And you held no degree in romance.

But you taught me well (how to love)
And that alone was enough.
Never
Never
Never
No one can show you better love than me.
No other can fulfill all your needs than me.
I strictly was built to please.

So true
So true
So true
And eventually you will believe all these things I say.
That no one can show you better love than me.
Or ever come close to keeping you please.

What I say?
Is built around total facts.
Nothing fictional in the least.
Never

Your New Man Taught Me
My fault I lost you.
My fault that he loves you.
But your new man taught me how to love.
Just by giving you the affection I didn't.

I see you smiling wider.
I see happiness in your eyes.
And your new man taught me how to love.

Sure, I wish you would return.
Except I see the joy he has brought to you.
And I have too much for respect for him to take you.

Cause your new man taught me how to love.
He did all the things I just didn't do.
Jan 15 · 100
I Know It
Even, if you never tell me, you love me.

I feel it.
I see it solely in your eyes.
So, it should come as no surprise.

I see it.
From all your expressive ways.

But very adoring in accepting it.

Just whenever your lips meet mine.

Baby, you are one of a kind.

See love
See love, when you look at me.
Even look my way.
See truth, in what and everything I say.

See us, creating happiness forevermore.
Because it takes two to make us.

This where folks make the most mistakes.
And that a path we will never make.
So, see love, when you look my way.

So, how much love?
Must I give to you.
You must know how much I care for you.
Jan 14 · 108
A Hood Tale
Oh, the sadness of certain communities when folks speak.
They talk about violence weeks after weeks.
Without accepting they control the narrative.

Quit defending that infamous son/daughter doing wrong.
The gang members that think they belong.
One of the biggest intimidator factors in the community.
And it's not to be level at the cops.

When you a participator in the level of crimes.
Oh, folks don't like to bring companies to this area.
Why?
When thugs stealing and looting and you remain quiet.
Just waiting to buy it.

Upgrade your community starts with you.
We, all aware of the fools that loves being down.
Afraid to accept responsibility to turn things around.
Jan 14 · 133
Who Me
You said, I love you.
I reply, who me?
To which you said, yes you.

To which you replied, it shows within my eyes.
And that I am living in denial.

So, I said, you adore me too.
You said, who me?
I replied cut the acting out.

And it's worth mentioning this to your face.
In my heart, you have a special place.
Jan 13 · 57
Stay That Angel
I see no wrong in you to point out,
And If I do, I still hold the highest honors concerning you.
Many could come to me with various negativities.
And still, I wouldn't see your worst.

I just know you have been a blessing to me.
Stay that angel that I personally only see.
And you don't need any wings.
They are there just by you loving me.
Jan 13 · 86
I Saw A Diamond
I saw a diamond.
I saw a pearl.
I saw a woman who is a total jewel.

Why are you missing from the jewelry chest?

Somethings cherish like gold and silver.
And rightly should be.
I guess this why you the best gem I ever did see.
Remember this love.
Remember it well.
All I got to say to you.

Remember, my heart and how much I cared.
These are not just empty words spoken.

Somethings fades.
Somethings stay.

But remember this love.

For me, you remain the only one.
That's all I got to say.

Still The One
I still smile.
I still love.
You're still the one causing it all.

I still laugh.
Even at the disagreement between us.
I still in love.
For me there is nobody else.

Too old to go through another love path.

I still reflect upon our good and bad times.
But when I do only happiness mostly come to mind.

You're still the one at top of my mind.
Yes, still the one that I pledged my love for all times.
