Rhythmic Seduction
I watched from the table as the lighting became dim.
The atmosphere changed quickly as my mind relaxed thinking only of him.
Voices whispered, as soft laughter and giggles laced each seat and table.
The interlude began while shouts came from the women,
"I'm willing and able."
Anticipation sent chills down my spine
Waiting for his seduction, realizing I held his rhythm in my mind.
As the spotlight detailed his manly physique,
I undressed him mentally from his head to his fe…

Just Venting
.. ..
With the holidays making their way into each of our homes, one should be focused on what it is we should celebrate this time of year. Periodically we look back to the last year to gauge our progress. Unfortunately, for most of us, misfortune has touched us more than once this year. We are a people who bounce back situation after situation, time after time. We understand the term “in everyone’s life, rain must fall”. This year there are those of us who have found they couldn’…

Taking it a step further….takes a motivational force….
Taking it a step further…..
Is the difference between self-destruction or a positive course.
Taking it a step further…takes inner strength, courage and faith.
Taking it a step further….
Is to continue not knowing, those who love you and those who hate.
Taking it a step further….is to move on and on
Taking it a step further….
Is to create a path, build a bridge, or make a road.
When the highway’s gone.
Taking it a step further….is planting…

Golden Promises
I thank God daily for I am the parent of a loving daughter and son.
I’ve been blessed with good friends, balanced spiritually and able to handle
the responsibility made for two and abandoned by one.
The promise made between you and I made be determined to complete the task
I gave them the love you failed to give which made them strong and steadfast.
I instilled in them the importance of values, morals and respect
And during your rare visits they knew nothing about your woes,
emp…

Ms. Smith
Look, there out the window, isn’t that Ms. Smith?
She’s so well dressed; her beauty truly a gift.
You say those children all belong to her
Oh what a blessing to a proud husband, I’m sure.
What, no husband?
One, two, three boys and the girl carrying the bags,
My, my, what happened on the path she chose?
She had blossomed to be a rose.
No, no don’t say that, her life is a common fad…
Wait one minute that limp she never had!
You say she took to alcohol and drugs,
What you say the men in…

GOOD READS FOR THE SUMMER
My first novel “Family…Secrets, Lies and Alibis”, sets the stage for the sequel “A Different Kind of Love”. The characters, though fictional, can be anyone who is unaware of their family lineage. One may be able to cover the secrets, lies, and excuses for siblings not knowing each other, but what happens if they meet and unaware of their family ties, they fall in love? Is it easy to put that love aside and begin over as sister and brother? How do they cover feelings tha…

A part of our being, a part of our soul,
has taken his place in the Heavens, where his wings will unfold.
His earthly troubles, burdens, pains and fears,
were left at the Pearly Gates, as we heard the news of his passing,
memories of his incredible talent brought on the tears.
He was embraced, given his robe and adorned with a Golden Crown.
The angels gave him a glorious welcome, cheering as he performed; singing, rejoicing and yes, moon-walking around.
He realized he was home, where he would…

The lifeline of a man begins in a seed
A fragment of his generations with specific needs
The need to become, struggle and strive to materialize
The need to be groomed and educated by his father and forefathers
For all to realize,
The lifeline, the seed of a man upon his birth
Has a reason for living on this earth
The lifeline, the responsibility to his past, present, and future
Is to take his place as the granfather, father, as the man.
The lifeline of a man holds the seed to continue God's…

If I had peeped at my tomorrows, the yesterday’s of my today….
I would have cherished each awakened morning, knowing God was my lead every step of the way.
If I had peeped at my tomorrows the yesterday’s of my today…….
My days would have had no reminders of what I should have said or done…..
The complexity and challenges of each moment would have been lessons to be learned,
Today I would be well prepared, awaiting each new challenge as it comes.
If I had peeped at my tomorrows the yesterday’s…

No Need To Apologize
My motives, through my writings, give an image with no explanation
Causing you to question my travels through life,
My background, learning experiences and occupation.
You felt I climbed the rope of success
Using the platform of the unfortunate's chest
The choices I made in life paved by way,
I learned to work hard, give back and understand the game's society plays.
You questioned my education,
"Why Prep School, College and continuous training after that?"
You had concern…

Dear Diary,
Where do I begin, what do I say,
Maybe if I list the things that ruined by day.
I made an observation that all concerned should know
Something that brought my emotions to an all time low.
There has been years in my career where motivation was on a decline.
But I really felt I could push my children forward where they couldn't look behind.
There are always the basics; Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.
But in today's schooling....
I find I must go further to see what makes the childre…

The years have gone by at a rapid pace
So much to be thankful for, those who never got tired,
those who have gone on but ran a good race.
Those we look at differently
Now that the messages that they spoke and shouted have become clear.
Those who were killed, those who died, stood with pride and honor
Today we understand why we should shed our tears.
This Black History month has new meaning to all races
Stirs emotions deep inside
Even if you refuse to express it, as an American
You must share i…

This Paved Road we walk today,
Wasn't always the chosen way.
Our ancestors walked until their feet and minds were worn.
Their mode of movement driven although tired, bitter and scorned.
The ridicule and humiliation accepted,
The rejection and segregation expected
But forward they kept on...
This Paved Road we walk today,
Wasn't always the chosen way.
Our forefathers fought battles to be someone
Similar to you and me.
They had obstacles to stop their stride, many died holding on to their pride,…

A Promising New Year
As we say goodbye to this past year
and welcome in the new
We will leave behind old fears and problems
With solutions and prosperity long overdue.
We will bring in the year in a positive frame of mind.
We will feel our souls lifting with spiritual awareness
And we will climb.
We will leave to past negative attitudes
That lead to depression and despair.
We will replace the I can’t, but, if and only
With love and attentive care.
This year brings new blessings
We will be pr…
