Listen

What does it mean to listen?

Be quiet and do not say a word?

Surely when you listen you cannot be heard.

So, I guess to some to listen is absurd.

You should listen when someone speaks, you should listen to teach.

It is very different to hear than to listen, so, when you say you heard you surely did not listen.

I Am Dying

I am aching from my head to my toes.

I am in such pain, yet I smile and grin but no one knows how I feel within.

I have been rejected by my sister, brother, father, mother son and lover.

I cannot bear to look at myself just another day.

No matter how much love I give they always turn away.

This feeling on the inside is like a knife stabbing me deep till I have no life.

Dying on the inside must be my path in this life.

Mr. Covid

Mr. Covid came to instill fear.

The more afraid we grew, the more he did not care.

He is not concerned with age, color, creed or race, he came to wreak havoc from earth to space.

The closer we get to a cure the more pain we endure.

Use gloves and a mask we are told, but Mr. Covid is really bold.

He will get into your nose and then your throat once you can no longer breadth then he gloats!

Please use wisdom instead of fear if not Mr. Covid will not disappear.

He will take your life without warning,

Mr. Covid is the new King!

A Liar

He comes to steal and destroy, all of you joy! Give him your beauty, he will make it become ugly.

Give him diamonds and pearls he will turn them to worms.

He is like a thief in the night, steals from you everything that looks bright.

Please never trust him he will take from you all that is good within.

A liar should never be taken at his word if you do invest your time in a liar it would be absurd.

Depression

It violently grabs me by the throat making sure that all positive thoughts are gone, then gloat.

I can feel my stomach hurt and my limbs weakening this life as I know it is about to be taken.

All thoughts and emotions run wild; all hope is totally in fertile.

My cries are in vain depression is here to reign.

I think of jumping off a mountain or a hill.

Depression can surely kill.

I lay at night in such fright, what will happen to me, since Depression would not have me break free.

I Am A Diamond

You asked for a Diamond and he granted you that wish.

You made love to the Diamond when your time did permit.

You throw the Diamond in the corner when you family was in crisis because the things of importance should take precedence over others.

I am a Diamond that was given to you for the purpose to fulfill love and life.

A Diamond is the most precious stone on this earth have you not realized?

If not treated the way it should, will soon develop blemishes that will bring down its worth.

This Diamond was not formed by the earth, this Diamond was God sent therefore will not inherit blemishes from things said or done.

This Diamond is protected by the One!

What Is Love?

Love is patient love is kind, it has no conditions, most of all love did not come from mankind.

When you feel love it is not forced it flows like the Ocean from your head down to your toes.

But where does love Come from?

Love comes from the true One and only eternal everlasting father, the author of your faith.

The alpha and the Omega you will come to appreciate.

Once you feel what it really means to love you will soon discover; this thing call love was given from him from up above!

Is This My King?

My King will love and honor me and subdue me daily!

He would cherish and not harm me.

My King will caress and hold me after all I am his queen!

Kiss and fondle me, absolutely adore me!

My King will always care for me because he loves me entirely.

My king will show complete love after all he was sent from up above!

Being Black in America

I live in America the land of the Free and Brave, however it seems as though I live in a grave.

When I walk down the street people turn up their nose as if they smell stink feet!

Cops pull me over anytime of the day, never listening to what I have to say!

They spit on me and beat me like a flea, all because I am black, so I am nobody.

Here in America black lives do not matter, they put their knees on your neck until you take your last breath.

They pull you over just because of your color, this will surely go down in history the way America treats me.

My Soulmate

I am looking for my soulmate, is he standing at the gate.

I have waited for so long for him to sing me a song.

I need him to hold my hand as I stand and kiss him gently while he whispers to me.

He will tell me how beautiful I am and how he longs to be my man.

I will give him all of me and he will hold me tightly.

He will make sweet love to me and I would become his world completely.

My soulmate is waiting for the right moment to arise, and when it does, he will be mine!

A Woman’s Love

A woman’s love is like a rose, slowly opens but with time it grows.

Her love is deep if your respectful and honest in her heart she will keep.

A women’s love is like laughter it is loud and tend to linger.

When a woman loves she will hold you close, without a doubt her love explodes.

A woman loves like no other, she is a Mom a best friend a sister and a lover.

Disappointment

I came from a broken home, very sad felt alone.

I wish my mom were there when I needed her the most, but she left, and depression arose.

My dad was sad when she left, I felt emotional and distressed.

A single parent as he became lots of worrying and me, he blamed. I watched my friends with their

Moms and dad always thinking about the love I could have had.

A stable home I wished I had, with a Mom and dad to hold my hand.

However, my mother chooses to love another and now I am left with just a father!

He sits and cries hoping that she will return but no never now I am all gown.

My Mother is gone, far away she will never return, she is gone my dismay!

Inner Beauty

God gave me life, but I wish I were dead.

I hate my face my arms and legs!

One minute I am too fat or too thin, do not seem to understand that beauty comes from within.

Eyes are too small or too big, always had a problem with the way I looked since a kid.

If I would take a moment and search from within, I would understand that beauty comes from the king!

When A Man Loves

When a man loves, he wants to kiss, he wants to hug!

He wants to hold you and to keep you snug. Even though it is hard most times to show their feelings, when in love emotions flow like the ocean never ending. When a man loves he will give you his last dime, this project his love is genuine.

When a man loves his emotions can be soft and slow unlike the wind it will not come and go!

Pay close attention to all his actions, they will clearly display his love with continued reactions.

It seems that when a man loves it’s never in secret it is so loud, he will never keep it!

Life

A precious gift from above, clearly given with love.

The very energy that flows through our veins was taken from Christ hence through our life he reigns!

My King I must know with his precious blood in our veins his life will flow.

He came to give life and it more abundant.

Life is a gift and not a curse.

When you receive it thank the universe!

Sometimes short, sometimes long please to whom life belongs!
