Love and Inspiration

Weakness

my knees are getting weak,
sweat is running down my face, and
my mouth turns into a smile.

happiness and joy comes over me in one splendid moment.

the vision is clear,
but damn it's difficult to reach.
you glide with an air of elegance.

you're a visionary wonder,
a momentary want,
truly unforgettable.

your essence is so bright i become blinded
by your radiance. 
you often come close enough to taste,
but never close enough to have.

your vision makes me hunger with desire
even though your nectar is poisonous.

your vision often leaves me stranded in confusion.

if someone asks,
"who is this vision?"
simply tell them to look in the mirror
as you walk by.

Special

As we walk through life
luck may bring us someone special.

This person may be experienced for a
moment or for an eternity.

This person will move you like no one has ever done before.

Through this person you will see visions
that can not be explained by mere words.

And as you try to give this person parts of yourself
you will feel spiritually enriched.

Unfortunately, many do not grab this opportunity and
forever long for the next special person.

I am happy i've grabbed my happiness.
Because you're my special person.
Your beauty and soul makes me feel whole.

I feel as if we are suspended in a love warp
created by forces greater than us.

I'm so glad you're my very special person.
Some One Special who is Very Special

Sunday Surprise

I awakened one sunday and to my surprise
You were still with me.
Not there, but here.

Amidst the confusion of the situation
you didn't disappear.
In fact you appeared to revel in the outcome of your action.

Is it right?  Is it fair?

Hopefully, if you listen to your heart you will know what to do.
I only hope you keep doing what you're doing;
At least for a while.

You're my sunday surprise that turned into my weekly delight.

Our Next Hope

*Dedicated to my godson Nelson*

On this last day of the year
i have the privilege of
blessing upon this world
a truly precious gift.

On this last day of the year
i have committed to
provide love, strength,
support, and guidance.

On this last day of the year
i am filled with dreams
and hopes of endless
happiness.

For it is on this last day of the year
i mark my first day as
godparent to our new hope.

Maybe our last hope.

A Glow of Love

In the darkness of the night
A glow is shining brighter than the brightest star.
Energized by trust, honesty, and love.

This glow brings happiness to all that it touches.
Even in the shadows of despair it shines strong.

It shines a very magical,
   powerful, and
  loving glow.

The glow is simply you.
I'm happy you invited me into the glow of your heart and
the warmth of your love.

Touched

I've been touched in ways that are unimaginable

My feelings are only coupled
by your desire to share yourself with me

To say that I've been touched only slightly would be an understatement

To say that my world is now happy is to bless me with perfection

My Treasure

I wait, I anticipate, At times I hunger like a beast in the night.

I seek the treasure of your touch.
Giving me more happiness than I could ever imagine.
Thanks to the almighty God,
It's above mortal experience.
It makes me feel like a sweet ripe mango waiting to being picked.

I have felt blessed by you in the past, and
I wait to be blessed once again by the gentleness of your
Kiss.

Remembering

When i remember the night you invited me into your world
i leaped with joy
i felt like millions
i knew i was the luckiest man on earth

When i remember the night you invited me into your world
i felt the warmth, the trust,
and the love we shared

Remembering

Invitation

You are invited to take part in one of the
greatest joys ever experienced by anyone.

Many have dared to try, but only of few have
succeeded to be engulfed by the passion.

You've been chosen by forces greater than the two of us
to be the next adventurer into the sea of
hope, love, caring, love, sharing, and love.

This light of love will guide you towards true happiness.

Some have stated that this road is rocky and imperfect,
but isn't all of life this way.

If life or love were perfect how boring things would be.
You've been invited to experience your life.
It is to commence immediately.

Nighttime

the night is filled with an emptiness that only the darkness can describe.

it cloaks to distract those who look for answers.
even if what they seek is known.

the night brings a peace, a clam.
it brings oneness.

the night is a source of magical beginnings
in the aftermath of tragedy.
but how do we come to trust the night?

we never do.
we simply hope.
we must learn to trust the unknown.
the nighttime

The "L" Thang

We stand still and murk hopelessly in the mist of desire
being pulled
back
and
forth
wanting and needing.

It's the "L" thang.

It's like a long cool drink on a hot summer's day.
It's like a bright orange sun after a calm dewy morning.
It's a mysterious creature that stalks like a thief in the night.

Many are willing to give up everything just to be touched by it.
So why are we so afraid?

It's the "L" thang.

From every fiber of our existence we want to give.
I wonder if that's what's really necessary.
Will we have anything left to give if it rings twice?
I wonder if anyone really knows?

It's the "L" thang.

Maybe it's full of
caring,    giving,    sharing,    taking,
    wanting,    feeling,    talking,     and
                being       patient.

That's the "L" thang.  SOSVS

And what do you want?

Hopes and dreams are long gone.
I whispered to the one above,

"I want love"
"I want happiness"

It's been said that the meek shall inherit the earth.
What shall the hurt and lonely get?
Probably just more of the same.

Broken dreams,
Shattered hopes, and
Unfulfilled desires.

Simply for You

No matter what I'm doing
your spirit fills me with passion.

I can feel your zeal shake my soul to depths i once feared.
I fear no more.

I find courage in your desire to unearth the truth.
I can feel the gentleness in your eyes as you gaze upon the worlds madness.
I easily embrace the warmth that radiates from your smile.

It is difficult to put on paper all the feelings that embodies you.
I've spent endless moments reflecting on your significance.
It's connected to the intensity of your passion.

You're able to give through your words,
your eyes,
your smile, and
your devotion.

You're able to take simple words and turn them into
majestic expressions of you.

Your words shimmy across the page with the grace of a dancer.
They speak of the private place in your soul.

Your words allow me to visit with the passions of your love.
A love that shines to every point imaginable and beyond.

SOSVS means lets share a special love.

Saying good-bye

Damn, i've struggled for days with how to say
the things that touch me deeply about you.
ten, twenty, thirty beginnings and not one verse told the story.
over and over i searched for the perfect words and i still came up empty.

i tried to reflect on the many ways we got to know each other.
i attempted to feel the sadness of you leaving.
i even tried looking forward to how it would feel to see you again.
but nothing seemed quite right.

finally it hit me.

no words in part or whole could tell you how i feel.
so what do i say or do?
i'm not sure.
i only know that my heart will miss you.
saying good-bye sometimes hurts,
but the pain subsides when i realize
that you will forever be in my heart to remind me of you.

until we share each others presence
you will simply be missed.

From her to me

words from an ex lover

Soft melon shaped breast
Long agile legs
Smooth flat stomach
Luscious warm thighs
An inviting bushy divide
with a hot flowing stream of love juices
Waiting for, wanting for
Strong powerful legs
Masterful fingers, hands, and arms
The heavy weight of that
Warm torso, pulsing wet lips
And quick yet lingering tongue
Thrusting further, further, and further
Consuming and being consumed

Family

we are who we come from

i am nothing without family
if it were not for my family i would be
weak, lost, confused, and very desperate
destined to feel a pain of emptiness and despair
so deep it would engulf my very soul

they've given me a most important gift that lets me know
that all is possible
my direction has been set

I've been touched by the
wisdom of many
creativity of others
humor of most
caring from all

my future is impossible to predict
the mysteries of life constantly plays tricks on me
the only thing I do know is that family will be there

don't get me wrong families aren't perfect
they don't always do the right things at the right time for the right reasons,
but can't you say that about almost anything or anyone

my family is complex, crazy, offbeat, understanding, loving, and flawed
these are the things that makes us all human, righteous, divine
we must respect family

Harambee means, "let us all pull together"
that's the meaning of my family
in times of joy and pain we must be humbled
by the fact that we are not alone

we enter this world with family and
the only thing we'll have when we leave is family

that's why i can say
"i am nothing without my family"

Inspired by my family and dedicated to my cousin Lenn and my aunt Rocky
