POET IN THE RIVER

I use these words as means of expressing what I feel inside.

It's been said "Men Cry In The Dark..." I agree the darkness that fills the corner of their hearts.

Many men suffer from depression of different sorts and end up drowning in tears of issues they feel alone in.

Though our "Issues of Life" have the propensity to take us on an emotional roller-coaster ride through loops of hope and let downs WE STILL GOTTA FIGHT!

If you've ever seen a person drowning in a movie, you've seen them reaching out for something to hold onto even though in elementary school we're taught the physics of water.

LOGIC doesn't stop the individual from hoping that a grip of some sort will form aiding in safety.

 Every poem I utter as spontaneous as they come serve as an aquatic grip through the metaphorically peaceful, yet turbulent river of my life.

 I'll continue to form grips for myself and others until God calls my name to take the "Promise Land" plunge.

Contrary to popular belief of the destruction from the dreadful drop at the end of the waterfall I'll still LIVE!

Gracious thanks to the “Life-Vest” around my soul courtesy of Christ Jesus!

NuffLove. NuffCed.

Living Outside The Box

What I wouldn't do to get outside of these 4 walls…

Prayers offered up and symbolic of my luck feel like heavenly blocked calls.

Trapped/Emotionally-Strapped/ mind in a full-nelson even though my heart has already tapped.

View the astonishment in my deep brown eyes like Penny on the episode she got viciously slapped by false hands of love formed by true lies.

The walls of this box are closing in on me and at times in my mind, searching for peace I can’t seem to find I'm unable to breathe…

The coward Negro exclaims "IT'S TIME TO GO!”…

But THE PATIENT BLACK MAN IN ME WON’T LEAVE.

(Ephesians 5:25 …I’ve hid in my heart to help me believe.)

Words come down like a thunderstorm with hail beyond rain I never thought a broken heart torn apart trying to mend would bring about so many contracting mental labor pains.

To live outside of the box of the frustrations I’m facing would be so relaxing, shucks who am I kidding I’m connected to cardboard living even sounds ridiculous "thinking" let alone to outwardly mention.

Just imagine being able to LIVE, LOVE and GROW without corners of stress and the stench of puppy love piss of unhappiness…

I wish I could live outside of the box…

Reflecting over silent voids in our minds we become discouraged sometimes...this is even truer during the 24 hours within the day of Valentines. 

Mentally searching within a person for a PEACE which proves impossible to find…

 Not sure if we should post a “CLOSED” SIGN on our hearts or a “ROAD CLOSED” sign on our minds… As salt pass through an hour glass sad times slow down however happiness fleets fast. 

Questioning every “YES” I gave over the decisions I’ve made. 

Emotionally sick over the last relationship which turned out to be as exciting as a 5 hour delayed USAIRWAYS trip causing me to miss my much needed vacation cruise ship!  

The heavy part on your heart is how your “Agent-Partner of Love” acted as if they didn’t give a flip! 

Now you’re standing and demanding answers today while your heart cries in wonder how could they just walk away? …

 I for one could never explain why folk play the silly games they play anymore than I can take your loneliness away on Valentine’s Day… 

BUT! …there is one thing I would like to say! You’re a phenomenal woman in every sense of the word, and there hasn’t been one prayer uttered that God hasn’t heard. 

Your heart is lonely because He’s preparing a man for you only, one that will worship the very ground you walk on, an Etta James “Sunday kind of Love” who’s mindset is full grown. 

 He may be BIG or he may be small but one thing for sure he’ll catch you before you fall and there won’t be NOTHING left uncovered as he’ll be able to DO IT ALL. 

So don’t get depressed because others haven’t stepped up… God is an AWESOME CREATOR, and plus it takes time to make REAL MEN LIKE THE FEW OF “US”!

NuffLove. NuffCed.
