MY AFRICAN QUEEN

My African Queen

Just like the sun lights up the Earth, you ignite my life with all its worth;

You are the only one I have ever seen with a smile so bright;

Just the other day you came around and eradicated the night;

you have changed my ways with your awesome astonishing beauty;

Sometimes i believe you can even see right through me;

Hypnotized by your spell i see no ordinary thing;

A supernatural being, you are brighter than the moon, brighter than the stars;

You can even be seeing from afar;

i adore you just the way you are;

My African Queen

Molded by the liquefied elements of the river Nile you were perfected;

From the soil of Egypt you erected;

Carved from the bone-fide structure of hue-man;

God has created you to be the back bone of my template;

with skin of ceramic delicacy;

I am forced to fix my eyes upon your artistic accuracy;

the temple minus the veil, you have always triumphed and prevailed;

As i march for freedom you stood by me and shed your tears;

you comforted my fear and soothed my pain;

You prayed for me when i felt all has failed;

Never will i segregate myself from your universal care;

My African Queen

The lady of my dream, you have taken me where i have never been;

you make my heart beat the sounds of Zionistic rhythms;

Out of a million, you stand as one, the out standing one;

When I look into your eyes; all i see is paradise;

My faith and my soul you will always magnetize;

Each and every day I thank the lord for your presence;

For you are the light of my tomorrow;

And the joyful wonders of my essence;

With all the constant sacrifices of time;

You have showed me the true meaning of life;

Blessed be unto you; the gory of my lifeline

My African Queen

FORGIVENESS 4 GOODNESS

As days goes by.... thoughts of you ruptures through my mind;

Volcanic eruptions of a single word, "Forgiveness", splashes alphabetically... so desperately trying to find;

A course in time that links you and I back together again; holding each other and feeling the warmth of our love;

As I reminisce about those laughter's and memorable chapters of our lives;

Hugs and kisses electrifying our bodies; bringing us into a trans-dermal state that only defines romance;

I am engulfed with all types of emotions; my body stretches out for your compassion and devotion;

Thinking of the times we spent together makes me smile; cherishing the moments we had, tears of unforgettable times sheens my eyes;

Now I am left with only thoughts of missing and needing you;

No one ever said that love is easy, and then again our internal hearts were never built to appear smooth, unblemished, and sexy;

mistakes we learn from; experience we grow from; and the extent of time heals all wounds;

I know that you will never forget the wrongs that I have done; but I asked that you give me another chance to make things right;

I never meant to take you for granted;

The periods we spent together were so real and enchanted;

To lose them... I would have to put up a fight;

And even then I would endure with all my might;

I wish I could have represented you better;

As a friend, a lover, a companion, a benefactor, and et cetera;

I want to give you my all;

For consolidation your arms I need in order to keep away the loneliness;

when i think back on the times I have looked into your eyes;

I begin to realize how much I need you in my life;

Never have I felt this way about loving; never have I felt so good and assuring;

Each day that I spend without you takes my breath and starts a burning in my chest;

I feel so weak, discombobulated, and incompetent when I think of you;

Life wouldn't mean a thing just emptiness if I have to live without you;

Although action speaks louder than words; I ask that you accept these expressions and forgive me for goodness;

until I am able to reach you physically remember that I love you more than words,

And in due time through your acceptance I will animate these words with every inkling of my mind soul and body

BLACK CHILD

The present black child;

lost in the moment that adds to tomorrow;

Focuses on the ghetto delight that is circumstantial;

Shackled down by the superiority complex that defines you as a minnow;

Still you endeavor to withstand the longevity of time;

Succumbing to the fixation of musical icons;

fascinated by the pseudo-intellectualism that represents self;

You glorify the street life while seeking love and redemption;

Believing that through guns blasting, sexual promiscuities, and high price fashion;

Your fabricated beauty will set you free;

The ghetto warfare puts you in a state that is so unclear;

Brave hearts in despair, gang banging, drive by shootings are the day to day reality that flares;

Permeating through the hoods;

Crips, Bloods, and Latin-Kings where created to over ride oppression and destruction;

But the congregations has been viewed as the parasite of your nation;

Seek your eternal dreams; the ones that keeps you in tune to what is real;

Never lose hope of the goal that shines and gleams;

Your elders of past times have set you free;

Remember their means;

They will emancipate you from contorted ideological themes;

Ancient times lost in line;

Ghetto child stand firm on the truth that will keep you in pursuit;

Arrest the hands that tics and tocs;

For every motion that it makes will signify your faith;

And notice that the sky no longer has its limits;

It has been revealed through men's the technological gimmicks
