Lost In Translation
Men and women
Complementary opposites
Vital to the continuation of the human race
Different?
Oh Yeah!!
Very much so
Not quite the Venus and Mars thing
But sometimes
It feels like it
Take these 2 simple words that I've seen cause conflict and turmoil and disgust between the two
"Compromise"
and "Support"
Seems simple
And straightforward
But all adults know what a minefield those words really are
To me, as a man, compromise means doing what I want one time
And doing what she...

Divine Reminder
Seeing your face this often
leads me to believe that God really likes me
And wants to keep me reminded
how Beautiful
Life truly is
leads me to believe that God really likes me
And wants to keep me reminded
how Beautiful
Life truly is

This New Day is the Next Step in Our Journey
There are no fence sitters where Donald Trump is concerned
And his effect on America and its populace has been biblical
Picture Jesus with Lazarus
However, just as in John 11:39, after so much time in the tomb; "Lazarus" surely stinketh
America,
now alive like no time other than its genesis,
or a major war,
Has spoken
Joe Biden is now President
Awaken!!
Arise!!
Lazarus!! Come forth!!
"The Donald" is gone
Joe Biden has arrived
Once Again
A history maker
First elected to the Senate...

Speaking My Language (in silence)
Fluidly. Fluently.
Talking sweetly, seductively,
and only to me
She speaks my language with a fluid, silent fluency
With each step that she takes
She calls out to me in a way that no one else can hear
Within the flow of her stride, there's an unbroken rhythm of communication to me
A private communion between her walk and my eyes
With no hesitation, no miscue
Or fumbling search for the right word or phrase
With her captivating motion
she talks to me
Passes her wish and intent
from her heart to...

Ignorance
In its purest form
Is simply lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6)
Quite often this word is used as an insult. Synonymous with STUPID.
As such, it can easily throw a man off his game if he is not careful and attentive.
But if you don't know that you don't know. And what you don't know is irrelevant to your life; Then Ignorance truly is Bliss!!
But if a man can ignore the connotation, and stick to the denotation, he can easily over come the undesired stigma and realities of ignorance.
I was 18 before discovering that Jimi Hendrix was not White. ...

Doing Nothing Is The "Lie" She Tells
I ain't do nuttin". She says. And I laugh
It's her favorite "lie". But I don't mind it at all
Of course
She ain't do nuthin. But smile at me
Like a thousand watt light bulb
This beautiful woman
Does not a damn thing
But grace my eyes with the sight of her perfect brown skin
Not a damn thing but lay there
Next to me in this bed
Doin nuthin
Skin glowing at me in the morning sunlight
With the shine of God's own favorite chocolate bar
All shimmering and sweet
She ain't do nuthin, I guess ...

In The Absence of Light
As Black
And as Beautiful
As the night sky on a country road in the spring time
That peaceful place where the blinding glare from those "big city" lights no longer hide the beauty of the world as God meant it to be seen
Surrounded by a Blackness so total, and deep that sight as a sense becomes irrelevant
And the remaining senses come vibrantly alive and illuminate a world where Darkness is truly magnificent
Where a man can smell the bouquet of newly blooming flowers
Taste the fresh flavor of the clean air around him
Hear the flow...

Civil War 2020
White people
Fighting White people
About how one sector is treating Black people
Seems that the issues have gotten lost
In the clamor over which side of the conflict is in "the right"
But people still suffering
And crying
And dying
In their beds
On their couches
Lying handcuffed in the street
Dylan Roof killed 9 in a church
Nothing happened
But now that a White kid
Killed two White men
In Wisconsin
Over protests of excessive force
Watch what happens now
This brings...

Only When the Rain Falls on Your Head
To the ears of the unhearing
Screams go unheard
Unnoticed
Like a whisper in a whirlwind
Only when the tornado removes the roof of the pampered and privileged
And only as torrents fall upon and tarnish a closet full of Armani's finest
and rain ruins that $400 hairdo
Will those who look away
Finally look at what was happening all around them all along
As the water rises higher inside the walls of a now roofless bowl that was once an impenetrable fortress
We,
who have learned to swim the raging rivers,
shall see if that...
Screams go unheard

Hypothetically
If I speak of sex
Yet, "Still show some respect"
May I place my lips on your shoulders and neck?
If I ask which touches
Bring you most delight
Will you tell me
And show me
On this very night?
Should my words turn brave
And I ask for your lips
Will your kiss trace the same path
As your fingertips?
Over my shoulders
Teasing my face and spine
Will your breath on my skin run my heart double time
If I ask for your touch
Would my wish be too much?
Will you place your hands on me
Cause...
