Never Listened to the Music...

She never really understood
Or maybe she did but she never really cared
I never needed criticism or tough love
I never wanted to challenge her strength
Or battle constantly about how she thought

I only wanted her to hear my song
To hear the words and sing along
To accept the whispers in my heart
To shine the Light when it was dark

I think she knew I did not need a mother
She had to feel that nagging was not the way
It only enflamed a heated situation
I could never convince her just to listen
And not say anything until the words stop flowing

I only wanted her to hear my song
To hear the words and sing along
To accept the whispers in my heart
To shine the Light when it was dark

She would never accept my point of view
Even if it agreed with hers
The days were to test my masculinity
And the nights were to praise her femininity
The fights always outlasted the love

I only wanted her to hear my song
To hear the words and sing along
To accept the whispers in my heart
To shine the Light when it was dark

Sex was only a temporary fix
When the candles burned out & the scent faded
When the sun hit our faces and faced another day
The battle for supremacy continued
But my words of peace were never heard

I only wanted her to hear my song
To hear the words and sing along
To accept the whispers in my heart
To shine the Light when it was dark

Maybe the pain from those other guys
Caused the pain that you give to me
The sorrow you bring is everlasting
It rips through fall winter and into the spring
I know no boundaries from your words

I only wanted her to hear my song
To hear the words and sing along
To accept the whispers in my heart
To shine the Light when it was dark

Gifts are Given...

Of course it felt like Monday. The chaos that normally ensues when you hit the jobsite was obvious today. Things were not going well. Things were late…jobs were not being done properly, but I pressed on as the minutes turned into hours. The stress of the morning was oppressive. The stress of the afternoon was even more stifling. But count it all joy. Normally the end of the week is smooth sailing. But normal is a cruel friend that only seems to show up when you don’t need him. I had to take a moment to just breathe and relax. In that moment God gave me a reminder – this job, this life, your assets are His gifts. God has allowed me to be in this position during this season and He is controlling this job. He gave it to me and in His wisdom He can take it away. It’s easy to stress or become frustrated over things that you think you control. But when you realize that you are where you are not because of your intelligence or hardwork or strength or resolve, then the picture becomes...

Ready for War...

The battle rages, from zero to infinite ages The blood drips, tasteless, and without fragrance The stench is foul, so flagrant, as I gaze in amazement The days when stars were a’blazing and Geico’s cavemen Saints blend in, defensive to sin, so they’re offensive to men Soul food’s not made in the kitchen my friend Visit with Him then ask for deliverance then Strap on the armor….you’re on a mission to win Dissent will come then as the demons are gathered And spring from the stronghold…but none of that matters I’ll take the Spirit and leave them all tattered Smashed into fine matter and leave their bones scattered Tell them stay off my lawn, equipped with Bibles and brawn Praising God with old songs and daring hellhounds to come Lucifer threw down his gauntlet, I’m dressed exclusive in blessings Satan made it to the playoffs…but heaven wins the series in seven Always testing, never resting, my God equipped me for stress And gave me resolve to keep living until He lessens my breath I’m imp...

Unknown to Many...

Cold breezes blow boldly, low feelings of losses No passion, no action, serene scenery glosses Tossed by swirling emotions, lonesome in this life Pretend strife is not visible like a bridegroom & no wife Because the standard is this, a man stands beside the Pit Can’t deny the riff as words of love die on my lips Tried & I tripped, fell over, but never in love’s shadow Tragic, no warm magic surrounded & I lost the battle Dazzled in my own light, not seeing the radiance of One So I traveled alone, not knowing I was only a torch to the Sun Deplored to run and falter, halted but I refrained to see Sought the other half of my soul, but she never came to me Remaining free, but true freedom lies in long hair locks That shimmer with womanhood and who holds a box In her bosom, for me and our union shall never part She will walk beside me and cherish my heart. As the silence from the keyboard dies miserably, Heather Headley croons “In My Mind” as though her soul had dined with ...
