The Eight Wonder of the World

Wonder Wonder
I wonder what we left off 
As I sit thinking about the wonders of the world I see that there was one left out
One that shine through the darkness of these Northern Nights
It sails across my eyes with this wonderful glow 
Creating this intriguing display of beauty that the world must see
Tough and rough without the back breaking edges of the Canyon walls
As a calm streams flow through its every crack from year of preparation 
But when you sit back, you see the beauty that time has created
In the roaring fire of the Paricutin volcano
Curve like the cone that two has watch and grow to a beautiful site for mankind
Warm to the touch with a temper that can run the face and can affect the land that it stands 
on
With the calm cool flow of the waters of the Victoria Falls 
Downstream through every bit of the being that you are
Then supplies fresh nutriment to everyone below to bring them up
Which has lived in harmony with the thing to its left and its right 
That has cause her to created this Great Barrier Reef in its own community
Where everyone can share food water and even the natural sunlight that shines on everyone 
With a mind that stenches the highest peak of Mount Everest 
At the peak to look over the world to say “I can do more”
Where it has taken more knowledge to tackle this hard and unforgiving world
Then it has brought you to a majestic and mysterious beautiful that hides in a collection of 
mountains lines
No matter where you stand or at what part of the world you can see why you cannot take it in 
one day
They called this 7 naturally created wonder of the world Harbour of Rio de Janeiro 
The 8th nartual wonder of the world that has every bit of the 7 before them 
HAS BEEN……
YOU my dear 
And I thank God for that creation alone

In the Eyes of Men

Stand back and can you see what I see 
Can you taste what I am able to taste 
Feel the skin of a silky soft ribbon that forms your body 
Can you close your eyes and see what I see
Can you see the way your body as mature from birth
The definition your body shows
The curves the mature has created
The ways everything bow out
Or how the sunlight cascade over your skin 
The wind blow the breathe of beauty into your body 
I see the rib that God has taken from has created a divine compensation 
With eyes that can bright up a day 
Lips that are softer then clouds on earth 
I see skin that only are reversed for goddess 
These dedicated hands that you place on my face are warm to the touch
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder 
Then these eyes have behold you 
Now do you really see on is in the eyes of Men

The Power of Words

A, B, and C 
These letters won’t do you justice 
But when I use these letters to create word that can describe your mind and body 
I am able to set fire to your senses that command you’re every thought 
 As you sit here and read this your able to feel as I feel tell that even the complexity of this 
poem 
Show you that I can express my feeling even though the words on this page
The words that I can use to describe your body firstly
Powerful Words like soft, beautiful, smooth, divine
Then we can use technical terms like I can run my hands over your Gluteus maximum
Or over your Pectorals Major where your mammary glands are held 
The power in words can make you even forget the world around you
Words as simple in complexity as love and hate can have an endless amount of meanings
But when these simple world are use to describe you and me the world that comes to mind is
Great!!!!
This word can say that our relationship knows no limits the way we can express the feeling that 
comes over us
The way I can wake up and still feel you next to me even when hundreds of miles away from 
each other
As I get to this point in the poem I can feel that you want to cry  
Because of this overwhelming expression of feelings someone has never had for you can come 
out in only one page.
Well my love I just show you THE POWER OF WORDS

Take Me Away

Take me to where the oceans breathe life 
Where the sea and land meets
Where the body’s stress can run off by the flow of water
In a stream of joy and happiness
Take me where the moon and meet the earth 
In the clouds where they rap around the earth
As the sea floats the spirit of life
Take me where the wind blows through nature and returns back to and back again 
In natures Seven Wonders of the World 
Take me where you subtract three you get the four elements that has created 
Where they combined at one point to created something soft as the earth we walk on 
To something that is strong as a diamond 
Take me where your flawless state is molded in precious hands  
Every detail is taken into a count 
And After its done it presents a masterpiece like no other
Take me where the mountains meet the door of heaven
And show me what God graces has to offer after serving him
Take me and show me who I am 
From the boy I play childish games
To a Man where I put those games away
Take me on the wings of a dove gracefully over the backdrop of the northern lights
Take me here and there 
Show me what the world is 
Then take me back to you because that far enough I want to b taken

Life

Life, Life, Life, Life
In my life I have seen the good, bad and the ugly
Good to the point of getting that accepted little to college
Bad to the bone for the people trying to achieve in this money hungry world
U G L Y with no alibi of seeing your classmates in a casket lifeless and a wake hearing the 
silence of friends and family walk by.
While having the fate to love and have happiness
Life’s fate has let me to become a man to help society
Instead of this man standing there as another statistics of the world
Which made me give love to everyone
For the happiness or the world
Why can’t people eat, sleep and breathe this
While I eat   the books of knowledge and hope
Sleep and dream about the equation of life
When I breathe in the fresh air of this degree in success
I find out that the three dimension of life Length, Breadth, and Height
As I go to any Length to first care about myself
While caring about the Breadth of that man that became another stat of this county
While teaching him about what Heights God can take anyone to
I sit here in this chair with my head down
Jamming to the beat of
Life, Life, Life, Life

I Make No Apologies

I make no apologies for who I am
EITHER SHOULD YOU
From the tip of this curly dark brown hair
Down to the shoes I wear
As the dragon raps around my arm
For my ancestors 400 plus years of this
I will not accept nor have my hopes up for anymore broke promises from anyone
I make no apologies for the heart broken neighborhood that made the man today
I accept no apologies from the people that said I wouldn’t make it
I make no apologies for the same reason that I was one of the few men to make it out of 
these hoods
That has force me to hold my head high and for my chest to poke out
I make no apologies that I was born into a poor family
I make no apologies for having a few of the strongest black women in my life behind me
That has told me to hold fast to what I want in life
I make no apologies to the people that said to me that I am a geek
But look at me now
I strongly make no apologies for having more ambitions then the next guy
Going after three majors instead of one
I will not accept any apologies from anybody that blames there unsuccessful life on a person
Because I didn’t have my father but I know how to be a man
I most defiantly will not accept any apologies from men calling females b**** and hoes 
because they don’t know their names
Learn them
Women you aren’t safe either
I will not accept for any reason why you can’t carry yourself as a woman.
And let men degrade you like cattle
I will not make any apologies for these things because I am a man
And because of that I carry myself as such
I have found out that men don’t make apologies for who they are
They only accept it and move on
This is why I will not and cannot make no apologies for the man I am
So why are you!!!!

911

Someone call 911
I have been shot
Hello Operation
Yes how may I help you 
Yes I have been shot 
Where
In a place where the home is 
A place where emotions for someone else live and grow into something great
I have been shot and I don’t know if I can recover from this right now 
I feel like I am dying 
Hold on sir help is on the way
Help?
How can you help admen something that has been broken into something that can’t be recognize
Is there a crime to take away those feelings and leaving me like this
To leave me in this state 
To put me on this edge of life
Where I am dying of not loving you
Sir what are you suffering from
Operator I am suffering from a broken heart and I cause it
Can you help me with that 
Sir we only help with emergencies 
Well that is an emergency in its self 
Then you can’t help everyone

On the Edge

Breath in Breath out 
Breath in and Breath out
What have I done 
What could have cause it 
How did I end up here
How did I go from the life of a millionaire 
With endless resources and power
To cleaning out garbage cans on 5th Ave
Fast cars good food to holes in shoes and rotation
Having the love of my to losing her in a blink of an eye
From holding her one day to rubbing her hand next to the hospital 
The warmth of her lying on my chest to the cold isolated casket 
I still have money but why do I choose to live this way
What has but me on the edge of ending my life
As walking this fine line of life and death
What has keep me in this endless state of mind 
What gives me hope to continue on   
Buy flowers and put it at her feet and go on with the day
Alcohol and drugs won’t be able to fill the void I feel 
From the kiss of her lips I miss 
The smile when I wake up in the morning
The smell I come from the bathroom
The dance of elegant that we have had in the morning air
What has put me on this edge
I sit there under the trees thinking what put me here on this edge
It has been a year since I seen her
I feel her when I am asleep 
I hear her in my ear
I smell her still on my clothes
Each breeze that comes over my face warms my heart
Will I ever come out of the grievance
Return to the place we live final after a year as if we left it 
Clean up and put on the necklace that reminds me of you 
Return to the grave super glue it to your grave 
Now I need to return back to the life that I have created for us 
Because I know in this heart where you lie forever
That you would not want me on the edge of life 
Keeping me from walking this fine line of life and death
And I have chosen life or death
Happiness over turmoil 
Light then darkness
And I see the life at the end of the tunnel 
And that light is and always will be you

Favors

Caramel, Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate
All great favors but with one to choose
Caramel you light and sweet 
Thick like maltase 
Chocolate beautiful brown tone
The cover of strawberries and other fruits
Now Dark Chocolate you’re the healthiest of them all
I can fill your help slide down my throat
So how do I choose the best
Should I get the one that covers my apples oh so well
The one that covers my ice cream with a sweet paste
Or the one that covers those nuts in y candy bar
That’s a tough question I can’t make a choice.

Happiness

I found it though the eyes of my mother
Quietness of running track while people scream my name
The silentness of my pen hitting the paper
The book that would never stay close
From the shadow of the moon at my window
From the breeze that comes over me on a hot summer day
In the company of people without worry
From the comfort of a warm blanket on a cold day 
In the music that fills the air around me as I dance to the beat
From the birth of your child
In the smile of your lover
There touch, there smell, there sense of closeness, the warmth of their heart beat
The ring that give everlasting love
Happiness you can find it everywhere now it is your time to start looking for 
IT
