Nothing but candor in this...any comments would be appreciated.
There are times...
Times where I just sit and think,
Watching the hands of time circulate
Wondering how I can circumvent,
Get by time...get by Father Time?
Nah...
Not on his watch, his eyes impeccable
Not on his watch, its timekeeping ineffable
And so the time I spend seems taxed
With the remuneration being faith in self...
Thought is the mortar,
With which I've built the man before you
But time is that which eviscerates he,
Me,
And leaves but a shell...
Time is like a trait to a degenerative disease,
Causing dis-ease that burgeons into so much more,
So much for, that mindset of mine
That I'm confident and fine
And will grow to love myself in time
All swept away leaving barely a sign
Because in time I don't think I'll find,
The one for me...
Irony is it, that I've expected something from time
That I could never believe in my mind,
All the while trying to get rid of it
Yet somehow savoring every bit of it....
To find it hard to conceive,
More or less believe,
That someone could be romantically interested in me
Is horrible, yet it is the case,
As time seems to find, a way to get behind my face
Into that place, the sanctum of self-worth
And raze what I've worked so hard to raise...
Which brings me to the paradox:
Time has generated the thoughts that make me complete
Yet time has generated the thoughts that leave me effete.

Couple of New Quotes
"He that is honest even when the results of which are adverse, even unfavorable, is a good man."
"A black man killing another is a new form of suicide, for he truncates the journey of someone who is representative of him, and unbeknownst to him he also loses love in his heart for his race, which is a vicarious loss of love for self."
"Optimism is the spice of life, for it can change your perception towards the things that occur around you, thus making anything into something more."
-A. Lewis

Nightvision - 5/27/09
What a love...
We were happy
And things were so right,
Future was so bright,
But now I can only think of you at night...
At night you used to call and text
Text not just me, but also your ex
Your ex wasn't the only either
As you rendezvoused with your next,
Soon I had to make my next move my best move
Thought it out well like a chess move,
But before it could occur,
You had me unsure...
You did things, told me they were flings, and that it was done
But what pain it brings, to feel the sting and know I'm not #1,
And so day turned to night.
No longer did I see you with light,
As a woman with an aura of greatness
But just a harlot with a heart of fakeness
I have nightvision...I only see you in the dark
In the dark is where you dwell,
Where you recoup after you fail,
Men's feelings you assail,
Just because you think they'll let you live well...
You're just an apparition now
A ghost of the past that swirls at night
The darkness around you fits just right
As I couldn't see you in any other light
Your heart is like your wrist and neck,
Draped in ice,
I payed the price, for loving you
And now you're on to another dude,
But it doesn't matter...he'll see the moon soon
As you drag him to the night...
Loving you was the wrong decision
In my heart you made an incision,
Just the right size for an icepick
Thought I made the right pick
But I was so wrong
And now it is so long,
Because I can see...
See through all of your shady ways
All of the games you play
In other beds you lay
While our relationship goes through fission
I'm dropping you, there's no pension
And did I mention?
It's not that I paid attention,
I saw you slippin'
Because I have nightvision.

Oh Black Woman, Oh Black Woman - 5/27/09
Beautiful chocolate skin...
So indicative
Of the ebony goddess within,
Within you lies the wonders,
The wonders of she that helped to make he,
He being man
As you are a descendant of Mesopotamia,
And a daughter of great mother Africa
After you, come all other women,
All other women can never compare
Whether it's your jet black hair,
An ebony river flowing to the deltas of your poised shoulders
Or dreadlocks portraying the strength of your people,
Radiant brown skin, bright,
Bright like the intellect you possess,
The best, in a dress,
Your paragonic and curvaceous body,
Which reaches its apex,
With your beautiful face
Marked by those big brown eyes,
You are most known for those big brown thighs
A pleasure to hold,
And behold, the hold,
You can put a man under
Is enough to drive him and his sanity asunder
For you are self-sufficient and prideful
And as stated, an eyeful,
You know who you are
And thus remain ever poised,
From that full bosom through those round lips
Comes the world's greatest voice,
A euphony to all,
You stand upon a pedestal that may never fall,
As you are cognizant of your flaws,
And take them in stride,
In yourself you confide,
For your essence cradled mankind
And in no other woman can you find
The most natural beauty to grace this earth
Oh black woman, oh black woman
Please understand your worth.

My New Favorite Quote
"Show me a man that knows 'enough', you're showing me a man that will never know enough to substantiate said claim; show me an educated man, you're showing me a man that knows that which he should; show me an intelligent man, you're showing me a man that knows more than that which is expected of him; show me a genius, you're showing me a man that knows a lot, but whose intellect is qualitative; show me an intellectual, you're showing me a man that likes to know things and likes to display said knowledge; show me an intellect however, and you're showing me a man that holds the power to change the world."

Something New...
I've never had a quote like this one...more of a lyric than a quote, but a quote nonetheless.
"I overdosed on thought, and I'm trying to get Life to do the same; I'm going to get that bitch high off my knowledge and try to give her my last name; If that doesn't work, then I'll take what I want and do what I please, do all the things that bring her to her knees; At that point she'll give me the brain that will drive me insane, no matter which way it goes, my lust for life will be tamed."
It's different...but I've taken a fancy to it. lol. I only used the word 'bitch', because of the old adage, "life's a bitch." Here's a nice quote for you to think about though:
"Ignorance is the gasoline that fuels the flame of a flawed logic; the flame of a flawed logic is a spark to the wildfire that is faith in a fallacy."
^Good one...think about it...hint, Hitler. ;)

One Of My Most Profound Quotes...Ever.
I mean that too...I've been doing a lot of thinking and learning lately, enjoying the inner-most cracks and crevices of my mind. Does you some good, that's for sure. Here are some new posts, I'll get back on my blog game now. :) The first one is nice and all, but the second one is the profound one...when it hit me, I was in a state of shock...it was just so...true.
"Love isn't just about who someone is, it's also about who that person isn't; no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes...some even lead to regret. If you can acknowledge, and more importantly appreciate who someone isn't, take into account all of the mistakes, regrets, and flows, then and only then can you truly love an individual. Perfections may lay the groundwork, but imperfections are the cement."
"Thought is free from governance; it is not tangible, so it may not be fettered; though such constraints as norms and propaganda can sway opinions and thought processes, thoughts can not literally be changed; thought is energy, it can be harnessed to form impetuses, etc; thought is the only thing in the world that is truly free: it isn't a part of the physical world, cannot be measured, and is inalienable."
*This is like...an appetizer and then a 100 lb. burger for thought...that first quote sets you up, then that last one just...just...I don't even know! lol.

It's Official!
I'm done with my first year of college! :D Now to catch up on posts. lol.
"Humility is the mind's shield from ignorance, and intelligence is the blade with which it fights back; an open mind is its armor, protecting from any unexpected attack as well as the plague of obliviousness."
"Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can MAKE you a man; only your CHARACTER and ACTIONS can DEFINE you as a man."
-A. Lewis
