Signs

I was walking by a blind man. He said, "son I can see your pain on your face." I stopped because clearly this man could not see. I asked him to repeat what he has spoken to me. He replied once more, "son I can see your pain on your face." I then walked away from the blind man and shrugged off what he had said to me. To my surprise I stumbled upon a woman whom I knew was deaf. She said to me, "son I can hear your heart and soul crying out for help." I paused for a second and continued to walk. Even more confused I sat on an empty bench. I man whom I had known to have a heart blacker than a rotting root said to me, "son I can feel your pain." This was shaping up to be a strange day. The sunshine and blue skies turned into darkness. People and other scenery disappeared from around me. I fell to my knees, then to my back. As I lay I lost feeling in all of my extremities and my hearing leaves me. Then my vision dissipates and all I have is a sudden weakened voice. I ask what is going on in a weak, raspy voice. a bolt of lightning hits me. My feeling soon returns as well as my other bodily functioning. It felt like I had been in a fight. That's just it. I was in a fight-the fight of my life-the fight for my life. It was a fight I could not win. I did not take heed to all of my previous warnings and I kept on walking. I was no match for the Power. The Power kept calling me but I kept ignoring it. The Signs can not be ignored ever. I now realize what has to be done.

I can not for the life of me understand why I have such bad luck with women. I am a simple guy, a simple person. It does not take much to please me or to make me happy. I can deal with just about anything except dishonesty and if I feel like I am being used. Even if our "love" affair never makes it to the end if you keep it real with me we can always be friends. But if we are dealing with each other and all of a sudden you change up on me of course I am going to question what is going on. For example if we had definite plans and it is time to make that move do not disappear until the next day. I have seen that movie before. Do not try to come between me and my friends. You will be canceled. Do not only hit me up because you are lonely or you "miss me." I am not some toy that can be played with at your convenience. Do not bad mouth my family or your own family. You will be canceled. Do not just feed me excuse on top of excuse. Do not just hit me up for sex(well maybe this one is not too bad if I don't have any attachments at the time haha).Yeah let's just forget my last statement. Anyways I am a grown man. I am tough. I can take rejection or whatever. I do need honesty. It just seems like it is always something with me and a female. Just cant seem to get right. I have looked in the man in the mirror as well. I have flaws as well BUT above all else I am HONEST and no one will ever have to guess where we stand. There is no in between. It is all black and white. You ask me a question and it will not be the same textbook answer. You ask me how I feel and I will tell you better yet show you. Whomever that lady will be to make me the luckiest better yet the most blessed man in the world, I ask that all bags be checked at the door. We can drop our baggage at the same time. Just put your hand in mine, and let's leave our troubles behind and don't look back.

Changes

It has been a season of change in this early part of 2011. Some changes I do not quite understand yet and it may not be meant for me to understand. I will just continue to have faith and roll with the punches. Some folks have decided that they do not want to be apart of my life and there is turn over on the job as well. But for all the people who have left there are some new faces and an all too familiar face as well. There are also some changes possibly with my education and career. I am open to all of these changes. I am a much happier person and stress has been minimal except for that hospital visit. For the first time in a while I feel as though I am on the right track in life. All aspects of my life seem to be falling into place. I will not go into specifics because I am on the Master's time so when it is time I will reveal what is going on. Now I do realize that when things seem to be running smoothly that is when something comes up to test your faith but I am ready for whatever. I am finally at peace with myself and all that is going on around me. My friends are also making moves as well. I think we are all feeding off each others energy. When you surround yourself with like minded people great things happen. I am just going to continue to play life by ear. Stay tuned.......

Untitled(Precious)

I am a collector of beautiful things and I choose my words no differently
Fine art at it's finest so important significantly  
Some may say I'm hiding out in the open with how I'm going to write this here
I say no it's clear how I write about something I hold to my heart so near
Something that I treasure and hold so dear
It's enough to bring a grown man to tears
I told you earlier I collect beautiful things
I'm not talking precious stones and diamond rings
I'm talking something that's not superficial, it may not catch your eye
To me it was so beautiful and I could not just walk by
Of course the aesthetics are some of the most beautiful I've seen
But something makes me look closer, you know, get in between
I don't mean this in a negative way, I'm a respectful guy
I definitely wouldn't be mad though I'm also an honest guy
I've had many pieces of fine art before this
This one was special, something I could not miss
All of the other pieces I put in a gallery of my past
This new piece had an exhibit all it's own, contained in a glass that would last
This thing is harder than a diamond, worth more than gold
Softer than a feathery touch, a precious gem to behold
This thing is priceless and it's not for sale
No use in trying to steal it, I'll send you to hell
Sorry I got out of character while talking about something so heavenly
Forgive me the Lord's still working, I'm trying to become a better me
But back to the subject, I'm talking about God's Gift to the World
I can't think of a better name, it fits so perfect
This piece of art work can't be held in a frame and can't be given in a box
Won't see it in a jewelry store or museum so searching you should stop
I have the only one God ever made and it's just for me
And it's the most precious piece of art I've ever seen

Wow my first post. This is very new and different for me. I like to write so I figure this will be another way for me to write, vent, communicate, and maybe even network with folks. I'll be touching on a number of things in my posts such as religion, relationships, and current events to name a few. I hope to get feedback from whom ever reads any of my posts. I may even post some poetry if I'm feeling "deep" on a particular day. Just remember I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my s#!t LOL. But for real if you think whatever I write is some bull it's cool just say so. I'm open to criticism and I love honesty at all costs. I'm looking for forward to sharing my thoughts.
