Happy Birthday

Since tomorrow is my birthday I suggest that we all get but naked and do shots of each other, LOL, no I am to old fashioned for that, but I do suggest we celebrate. Any ideas?

Still I Cry 2

I cry because you love me and I am afraid to love you back
I cry because I know that there are a lot of things that I lack
Because I've severed bonds that I hold so dear
I cry because there is an end that I do not fear
I cry because I need to take a stand
I cry because I quiet my inner man
I cry because Corinne Bailey Rae healed me a little when I wasn't trying to be
I cry because when I run into the darkness for refuge there is a love that I still can see
Because excepting responsibility is always present and demanding
I cry because with you I don't know my current standing
I cry because it is the only way I know to lift the weight
I cry because all the beauty inside me is trying to escape
I know that I spiral down into the abymaloldsoullove when I close my eyes
But I cry because I stand behind myself whispering lies
I cry because I allow myself to
I cry because I keep myself from loving you

Subvertion

I like you because you are a forbidden possession
I'll bite my lip and think surreptitious thoughts
A fact that continues to fuel this burning obsession
Because you have the delicacy of which i sought
A juicy pleasure which leaks its desire

An oral advocate devouring the wet realms of life

I know the perfect place for my pleasures to transpire
Again tongue subverts clit tonight

Belonging

I've exhausted my mind
I feel in time, the eternal drought will set
And the remaining life will shrivel and die, signifying the last look back upon a past
A shattered looking glass
Becomes a kaleidoscope of lies
No longer do have my eyes
So the truths are gone
And I belong now to a new world
I belong now
I Belong

Tonight

Tonight all secrets are told
The stories unfold
Tonight one scripture one verse
all truths unearth
Tonight one light
One table
Tonight non-fiction non-fable
Two men set out to achieve
What all others disbelieve
The rhetoric of life
The black mans plight
A key to survival
Tonight
All sounds are mute
spoken symbols transmute
Into things that ring and chime
Into a soul sublime
subliminal messages and notes
The philosophers quote
The philosopher's stone
Blink and our history is gone
Tonight I drop the sheraid
All roads are paved For an autumn walk
Perception is fraught
Tonight I'm Liberated
In Christ inebriated
The undertone is set
The receiver receives the point
Tonight will be the best night yet

Manual Shutdown

How do you comfort the eyes that have shed a thousand fold tears
Gently touch the heart that has closed the doors behind itself because it has given up on love over the years
Kiss the chest once warm that has ceased to hold burning passion and has become cold
How do you embrace the arms that have become chilled because of the affliction that has convinced them not to hold
Reignite the mind that controlled all of these functions but has lost the will to indulge in the metaphysical
Now it has deemed emotions insignificant and categorized them with the whimsical
Heal the palms that bleed, quiver, and convulse from the absence of something to grasp
How do you prevent the soul from relapse
I was there I witnessed the previous state
If it goes there is no coming back, the first time was a miracle escape

A Short

I like you because you are a forbidden possession
I'll bite my lip and think surreptitious thoughts
A fact that continues to fuel this burning obsession
Because you have the delicacy of which i sought
A juicy pleasure which leaks with cognizance of my desire
An oral advocate of something that could take place within the wet realms of the walls of life
I know the perfect place for my pleasures to transpire
All is revealed and no exceptions are made tonight

Questions

Should I experience you today, should I snatch you from the heavens as a filler and dim your internal eternal light? If I experience you, you are now longer my Thou but an It, He or She, thing amongst things; indeed it is inevitable that I experience you and you leave the realm of thou and become it, but does that have to be today? Is the extraction of your beauty necessary, can I just leave you as thou and be contempt with this existence, can I defy my human nature? If the love i have for you dwells between the I and Thou but is the responsibility of the I for the Thou does that mean that I can only be and an I in order to love you? If this is so then that means that I have had to be experienced by you before you love me and for me to love you, and if love does not cling to the I but dwells between the I and the Thou are you sophisticated enough to love me? If "In the eyes of him who takes his stand in love, and gazes out of it, men are cut free from their entanglement in bustling activity. Good people and evil, wise and foolish, beautiful and ugly, become successively real to him; that is, set free they step forth in singleness, and comfront him as Thou."(Buber 28), does that mean that my love for you will rejuvinate you as Thou? Can you distinguish the difference between feelings and love? If "Feelings dwell in man; but man dwells in his love." (Buber 28), do you understand that feelings are intertained and my love can not be, but will come to pass? That "Feelings are metaphysical" (Buber 28). Should I experience you today?

Just a Poem I Wrote For a Friend

Playing to the looking glass self she can’t see the beauty that she is losing
Not quite sure how to handle the present circumstances her heart is the only thing that is bruising
So the cure is missing and now she is looking for a new answer
If she spends to much time in the dark then I fear that the solutions will past her
She has the will to be a great woman but her spirit is currently low
All she needs is a guiding hand to help her find which way to go
She encompasses great beauty so the problem she is currently having can be easily resolved
Her inner light will show when this outer layer of pain is dissolved
So hold your head up high love, you are a product of many strong black women that have past
It is form their love, perseverance, and will that your life was cast

I and Thou

The following is a excerpt from a book I am reading and I would like to share it with you, it is in coalition with a speech communications class that I am taking and I can't begin to tell you how insightful and great this class is.

"If I FACE A HUMAN BEING AS MY THOU, and I say the primary word I-Thou to him, he is not a thing among things, and does not consist of things.

Thus human being is not He or She, bounded from every other He and She, and a specific point in space and time within the net of the world; nor is he a nature able to be experienced and described, a loose bundle of named qualities. But with no neighbor, and whole within himself, he is the Thou that fills the heavens. This does not mean that nothing exists except himself. But all else lives in his light."

I recommend that this book be read, but hey, that's just me
