Engage. Inspire. Create.
Missing you…morning texts…mid-day chats…the sound of your voice after long day of work…yes (exhale) I miss you with the understanding that there is a time and purpose for everything…I wish you well. Long distance relationships are not for everyone…Ce la vie!
There is what you see, what I see, what we see, what he or she sees, what they see, and what is….hmmmm
My Uncle once told me…doubt my doubts…hmmm so if I doubt my doubts then there are no doubts. If there are no doubts then the only thing in my way is me…so then it is a matter of putting one foot in front of the other. Now back to the original question…
Human love is so abstract in nature…it begins…it ignites…it flickers… it blazes…it dies…it is conditional…like dating…so what are YOU looking for?
Don’t be afraid to live with an open heart…love was never meant to be kept locked away…like a delicate rose releasing sweet perfume in the lives of those with whom you share…
Love is a beautiful thing…if you are searching don’t worry your time will come…if you have found it cherish every moment.
The insidious killer of hopes and dreams…the silence of those you love…abandonment...detaching themselves from you the connections of touch being loved want nothing but distance cold indifference to your need for intimacy or…the sound of your voice talking please let me be in my silent mental agony to breathe stressful despair while disappointments strangle the life out of wanting something better like fetters these thoughts of angst crush the beauty of dying day…oh let love wash over me again washing a way the filthy stench of rejections self-reflections of all I wished I could be as if this is my last day on the earth see coming up short every time never standing still my heart beats beats beats slowly becomes like steel to the realities of this harsh life or people with this life flowing through them why are you pushing me away why hold on to pain why looking into to these hands these hands that reach out to comfort these hands that need to be held by you lead me through this dark valley of bones choking back my tears fighting to believe what I believe is words can kill or words can heal my beloved’s words are like medicine to my wounded heart thirsty for a drink of you thoughts.

Leaning on the everlasting arms
Which molded us from the dust
Yet removed use from Eden’s bliss
Out of the midst serpent tempt
Forbidden fruits
Sweet to taste bitter roots
Word denied
Humanities decline of intellectual innocency
Twisted don’t miss this
Techknowledge increase
Worldwide network global unity
Deceptive on a micro level
While families are disheveled
Communities in dire need of cohesivity
Societal changes rearrange the face of church and state
Religion once a belief now a form of meaningless ritualistic costume parties
Pomp and pride like a garment to tight
Squeezing the life out of sympathy empathy
Tearless eyes for fellowmen exempt from privilege
Facing hard times others doing time for crimes of non conformity
To the customs of the majority rules
Fool’s gold won’t pay your bills stop popp’in them pills of unbelief
Reality of economic depression brings chill
Arctic melt down lost count of oil spills
Global destruction
Money hungry tycoons
Raping the earth of its resources repeatedly
Until life hangs in the balance your check book
Crooks in the red
Blood shed
Throughout the earth
When
Will it ever stop?
Pop inflation
Paper chase’ in
Instead of ends meet
We meet the end
Of our rope
Choked
By the corruption of unethical leaders
Who
Shall free us from these prison bars
Is there really life on Mars?
Because we need all the help we can get
Gather the Elders
Who
Dream dreams of past present future events
Interpretation
This race is coming to an end
Looking back in order to discern intricate life lessons
Presently the world spinning contemplation
Future waiting to be tapped
Limitless possibilities
Conflicts and Resolutions
Take two steps slide
Reconstruction of my mind
Expansion
Inundation of knowledge
Increases forming dendrites
Producing actions
Pulse of energy traveling down the axon sending messages through the synaptic gap
Transformation higher heights
Destination impact
Liberation of past regrets
Collaboration
Community development
Historical preservation
Through oral forms
Beauty is in the eyes
Photographic imprints
Kaleidoscope Rhythm on canvas
Cultural diversity
Daughter of the hill not a place ideal
Made it through the cracks
Not ashamed to look back
Reach out and touch mamma, grandmamma, and them
A specially designed gift to this world
Encompassing the dreams and prayers of many generations
My purpose
Transformational leadership
Shattering all statistical data
What’s the matter?
African pride indeed
Nubian Princess
Wrapped in the garment of this beautiful wilderness
Home of my native ancestor’s
Mighty Spirit breathe on me that I might speak tongues of other lands
Transference of cultural messages
Jambo, Hola, Koneechiwa, Gootentag, Chawucha
Est-ce que vous parler francais?
Oui, Je suis parler francais
Mixture of many voices
Creates the anthem song
We’ve come this far by faith
Peace be still
Steady on the rock
A catalyst for change
Staring down the harden eyes of disdain
Nooses are not for necks but for holding ships in place on docks receiving exports
So I import this thought to you change has come
