A Soft Sister

"A Soft Sister."

You hear the Brothers say they're looking for a
strong black woman but do they really want one.
A sister who is opinionated and has her own money
one who is independent will have them on the run.
There's nothing wrong with a strong sister but whose
strength and spirit is in her that's the question I ask.
Because if she's not of Yah she's of the world and she'll
through her father's spirit bring you to task.
I would Love a strong sister with my father's spirit
who knows how to be soft and a lady too.
Someone who is meek and soft spoken who when she
opens her mouth she talks to not down at you.
Someone like Tulip who isn't afraid to let her softer
sweeter side show.
When I proof read her a poem she let the fountains
of her eyes through emotions flow.
Some sisters have to be strong when those males
they've had let them in their needs down.
You see males not man want part of a woman the part
below her waist and when they hit they don't come around.
Where a man wants all of her from head to toe and
the most important part what he doesn't see.
A Beautiful caring heart that has been changed by
hurt and healed by Yah that beats inwardly.
A soft sister with a quiet spirit who isn't afraid
to show you through her affections how she feels.
Someone who is only looking to be given someone
from the Most High someone who is real.
A soft sister who is loving, giving, filled with so
much sensitivity one who is sweeter than honey also.
These are the kind of sisters that the Most High
Yah has blessed me to meet and to get to know.
A sister who would lean and cry on your shoulder one
who will show you her true self with you continually.
Someone who treats you how she wants to be treated
and will be there for you in any way she can be.
A strong sister who shows her softer side is a truly
Beautiful sister when she has her Father's spirit and Love.
A soft sister one who'll read this with her heart as well
as her eyes is one blessing from Yah above.

Emotionally, Tenderly, and Lovingly

"Emotionally, Tenderly, and Lovingly."

It's raining and we're lying under each other
your warm body against mine and the softness I feel.
Lying on my chest is my Love as I awaken every
morning next to her Yah's Love is manifested so real.
Emotionally, tenderly, lovingly with all sensitivity we
express our appreciation in a very special way.
We manifest what we feel in our hearts physically
giving all honor to the Most High as we lay.
Emotionally, tenderly, and lovingly with all sensitivity
we make the sweetest Love our ministry of healing.
Beyond the intimacy and the moment of fulfillment
a union of one in the spirit is what we're feeling.
We satisfy each other giving thanks to the one
who gave us to each other in the first place.
Emotionally, tenderly, and lovingly with all
sensitivity in our hearts we're lying face to face.
Yah gave us these bodies to serve Him with and
with these bodies we experience His true Love.
The sounds that are sweet to both our ears are the
greatest expression of what we're feeling I know of.
Emotionally, tenderly and lovingly with all sensitivity
we are one as the rain continues to come down.
In the presence of Yah we're making Love a testament
to the Love that through Him we've found.
There's no shame for she is my wife and all that I'll
ever need or desire in this life.
Yah gave me all my needs and more than I knew
to pray for when He joined me to my wife.
What we feel is Him holding us in our intimacy
His spirit is there in the two.
He is always there in our hearts and in our lives
including our morning pleasure that we enjoy too.
Emotionally, tenderly, lovingly, with all sensitivity not
only in bed but in our hearts we feel this passion everyday.
There's not a moment that I imagine not having my
wife no matter where we are in the house we lay.
Emotionally, tenderly, and lovingly with the sensitivity
in our hearts and the Love that Yah has given to me.
The Love we make in the morning is just a continuation
of our nights of passion and intimacy.

Silence

"Silence."

I'm lying here in silence it's quiet in my room and
there's not a sound except for the birds that I hear.
She is asleep and she's so Beautiful lying there
I bend over to kiss her on her ear.
Not a word is spoken and silence is peace there's
no music playing, no television, but it's just so sweet.
There's no real sounds of drama to murder the sweetness
of silence that my ears Love to meet.
There's a time to talk and a time just to be silent and let
your words and actions be of your heart and mind.
There's a time when quietness is so essential to your
soul and the peace from Yah you will find.
We must learn to say as little as possible and to say
as much as possible with a few words that will convey.
The things that are pouring from our hearts and
to communicate the precious words we never say.
Silence is beautiful when we lie together and don't
say a word but through our bodies we communicate.
In the morning at the birth of another day we lie
in silence and this quiet time together we appreciate.
Silence is golden is a true statement where words
just spoken to be heard is a cancer to my ears.
Words that are without depth or meaning that
only bring death to the silence and my heart to tears.
It is with silence that we commune with Yah speaking
to Him inwardly so the next poem can touch your heart.
It is through the silence that I hear the most from
Yah that transcends into these poetic works of art.
Silence and the quiet spirit I have allows me to be
alone when the room is filled with people also.
My heart is then filled with rhyme and new poetry
is conceived as words from others flow.
I love the silence and the special times I'm with
Yah as He speaks to me and I write these treasures to you.
Through the silence I'm able to receive the words of
Love that He allows to come pouring through.
Silence is a sweetness ask Tulip who has heard enough
noise but now enjoys the silence and the peace.
Fe Fee had to embrace the silence to hear from Yah
so the drama in her life would finally start to cease.

To Feel What's Being Real

"To Feel What's Being Real."

There are many who are in relationships and
have been in them and nothing special did they feel.
They didn't feel special themselves because what
they were in wasn't real.
There are games being played everyday with someone's
emotions taking advantage of the way they feel about them.
There are many males who are damaged goods and Sisters
who had their hearts torn out their chest by him.
To be real is to Love unconditionally to put them first
and give them your all with all of your heart.
Being real is to be honest to be trustworthy to always
place their well being first from the very start.
Being real is about treating someone the way you
want to be treated and they want to be Loved truly.
Being real is about being in the spirit of the Most
High and show them Love as it was meant to be.
To feel what's real is what should be felt and should
be done in your life in your daily walk.
The words that proceed out of your mouth should
be filled with wisdom and Love when you talk.
Forgiveness and understanding is being real
opening up to them about your past too.
Extending your hand and your heart in Love
is being real when they really care about you.
To feel what's real and to be real should be the
most important thing in your life everyday.
To be real is what you should do because it's
right because it's wrong as Hell to play.
Those who are real are few and far between
they are a blessing and sent into your life.
If you have been sent someone who is real you'd be
wise to hold on and make them your husband/wife.
Yes hold on to those who are real and excuse the
phony people out of your life very quickly.
Those who are selfish and self centered the all
about me's you don't need to be around or see.
To be real is to Love and to be Loved by someone
who knows they truly have a blessing from above.
To be real is to be a treasure they will always cherish
a friend who truly knows how to Love.

They Come with Baggage

"They Come with Baggage."

When you're looking for someone or Yah has
given you someone this one statement you'll find true.
That everyone comes with baggage because this world
is void of Love you don't know what they've been through.
There are many who have the Baby Mama/Daddy drama
going on and there are some who were abandoned by them.
It seems we have more children than committed parents and
just because he's fine doesn't mean you have to have a baby by him.
Same to the Brothers don't create something you aren't prepared
mentally, emotionally and financially to really take care of.
It goes back to the Sisters don't spread your legs after
you've opened your heart just because you hear the word Love.
As a people because of captivity we have trust issues
and we're the first to keep each other down.
We all have some baggage that we bring to the table
so when you meet someone be mature or you won't stick around.
We are our own worst enemies and the Brothers say the Sisters
have issues but you didn't think so before you put her on her back.
Now because she is tied to you emotionally and see your true
side her character through harsh words to the fellas you attack.
My Sisters I know you've been hurt but please don't take
your hurt out or unleash your anger on the next one you meet.
Another thing manhood isn't a Macho man thing just because
he doesn't flow with the false masculinity doesn't mean he's sweet.
Our people have more baggage than all the biggest airports
combined but we all need the healing and Love of Yah too.
I'm sure you're not going to trust when those out here
are filled with foolishness and just want to hurt you.
We create our own baggage when we as a people
don't truly know Love or its intensity.
Love will not allow you to be self centered or selfish
you'll sacrifice and deny self continually.
You'll take low and wrong to keep the peace and
you'll forgive them when your feelings are hurt.
Love will allow you to understand that they have baggage
you must have patience when they've been treated like dirt.
We come with baggage to some degree but there is healing
through Love when Yah calls you out of this insanity.
You're able to Love them for who they are and accept
those children as your own and make a family.

Most Treasured

"Most Treasured."

It's time that the conscious Brothers teach
those who have an open mind their rightful place.
As Kings the royalty of Yah that through our
disobedience and captivity a truth we cannot face.
Many of us would rather call each other something
derogatory than something that is real.
We're the chosen of Yah we like Adam were created
in His image but Yah's spirit many can't feel.
As Kevin says two strikes and the two strikes in this
society is being Black and a male too.
In this society where we make up a large portion of
the prison population this simply is true.
Racism is a spiritual thing not just about color but
more of whose we are being a people of the Most High.
We were brought to the land of our enemy sold to them by
Arabs and Africans so we being African American is a lie.
You see those so called two strikes are what makes us
special because Yah's first creation was a Black male also.
He was given authority over the Garden and all that
Yah created as the Scriptures clearly show.
Upon Yah's return those conscious Brothers will be made
Kings and rule with David as the Scriptures speak of.
The New Yerusalem will be here on earth not as
many were taught that we'll be in Heaven above.
Most treasured are those who aren't Black males
but are Hebrews a people who were chosen above all.
A people who are awakening everyday to take their
place even as the world around them starts to fall.
Sure right now our unconscious Brothers are still in
darkness and following satan's lead to their destruction.
They are doing as their father wants them to until
Yah calls some of them out of their corruption.
Most treasured are the people of Yah who He chose
unto Himself through their father Abraham.
We aren't Niggers or whatever ignorance we call
each other but the creation of the great I AM.
The two strikes are two positives for the conscious
who know they are Kings who are more than Black.
People who are in captivity right now but we will
rise to our rightful place when our Father comes back.

We Need to Stop Pointing Fingers

"We Need to Stop Pointing Fingers."

You'll hear from the Brothers it's the Sisters and
you'll hear from the Sisters it's the Brothers too.
We need to stop the finger pointing because it's all of
us when we are truly unconscious to being Hebrew.
My Brothers I know what Yah says about the Daughters
of Zion and what He'll do to them but we're not without fault.
On our Sisters we don't need to be pointing fingers at them
Yah will deal with them so it's wrong for us to throw salt.
To my Sisters I know being a man who was a male I know
the Brothers have spiritual issues as well.
Yah chose them as head and they too will be dealt with
Yah is going to correct the Brothers I'm here to tell.
We need to stop pointing fingers at each other and pray
there's a spiritual and emotional healing from above.
Because right now we are at war with our own and
although we easily use the word we really do not know Love.
The bottom line is it's the Brothers and the Sisters who are
to blame because the knowledge of who they are isn't in them.
They've been told everything but the truth from their own, their
Gentile oppressors, and from satan they've learned a lot from him.
We all have issues and we need to stop the finger pointing and
realize this is the way it is and the way it's meant to be.
Yah saw this in the very beginning because our ancestors
rebelled against Him and we're all experiencing captivity.
Until we are released from our spiritual imprisonment
we'll continue to do the crimes against our own that we do.
Until we learn of our heritage as a royal people of the
Most High Yah a lot of problems we shall go through.
Our families will continue to dissolve before our eyes
and at each other's necks we will stay.
Until the Love of Yah comes into our hearts we will murder
each other with words and with guns blow each other away.
I'm not about to leave my Hebrew Queen for a Gentile peasant
I know that many are still unconscious to who they are.
I'm not about to ever say they are better than a Sister
to do so is an insult to Yah and is going way too far.
We need to stop pointing fingers at each other we're all
in spiritual captivity conscious and unconscious also.
The truth about what's really going on is there in the
pages of Scripture if you really want to know.

Tokens of Love

"Tokens of Love."

I like to give stuffed animals and some chocolate
Turtles and a hand written poem or two.
Place them in a decorative bag along with a
heart filled with Love is a what I Love to do.
Tokens of Love are what we need to give to show
what you feel manifest your emotions through a gift.
When you give the sweetest little things it's the little
things you always hear that will give her heart that lift.
As Alice says she wants to be swept off her feet and
it's sad that you don't see this happening too much anymore.
It's not about sex but Love and that's the mindset you should
have it should be about falling in Love with the one you adore.
Speak from a heart filled with sincerity hold her hand
when you talk to her and look her in her eyes too.
Make sure she knows everyday she is very special because
she needs to know that with her heart she can trust you.
There are many who have been destroyed from games
that a male and not a man on her was played.
She soon discovered how special she was
after she was layed.
Love is spiritual more than emotional it's about
denying self and placing them first in your life.
For me it's about being blessed to meet fall in Love
and bond emotionally with the one who'll be my wife.
Tokens of Love are what I like to give even if it's
just a special piece of my hand written poetry.
It's the thought that counts and that's what I place on
the sheet of paper that will touch her very emotionally.
Romance isn't a dying art as long as there are those
who will not settle for just a romp in the bed.
Romance her sweep her off her feet make her open up
to you and give you her heart should be in your head.
Tokens of Love it's about giving with no strings attached
you give because when you Love it's impossible not to.
Love is an action emotion that your heart will lead
your every step and her happiness you will pursue.
My token of Love is to give my heart through the
little things that I do that will make her smile.
The time that you'll spend with her will be precious
from a walk around the park to one up the aisle.

The Virtues and Standards in a Husband

"The Virtues and Standards in a Husband."

Proverbs 31:10-31 speaks about the Capable or
Virtuous wife but she's just a reflection of her husband.
Yah chose him to be head so he has to first set the
standards before his wife virtues he must understand.
What you read is how the wife is but this doesn't exclude
the husband because Yah holds the husband accountable too.
Yah did not go to the wife of Adam but He went to
the one He chose as head Yah told Adam what to do.
It is our charge to lead our families we are the ones
Yah chose and His own always through His spirit prevail.
The Virtuous wife is of the Virtuous and capable husband
they make up the marriage that through Him cannot fail.
It's just sad that many can't distinguish a male from a man
and that Lucifer also Match makes his own as a mockery.
The marriages that you see fail with infidelity and
domestic violence aren't of Yah it is satan in them you see.
Marriages that aren't based on Love or any attributes of
His spirit but based on Lust and material things that's all.
Many have given their lives up for things for a so-called
better life but emotionally apart their better lives fall.
Divorce in America is over 50% and cheating today by
both spouses has become a regular way of life.
There are wives who are creeping and feel justified and
husbands who feel it's a man's thing to cheat on his wife.
Virtues and standards aren't even enforced in church
because the members see the same corruption in the pulpit.
There are menace-sters who cheat on their wives with
those in their congregations you must admit.
Yah created man in His image and likeness but it doesn't
say with His heart to truly be faithful and to truly Love.
That comes through change when you have a relationship
with your Father who has called you from above.
A capable or virtuous wife as mentioned here is what
the Love and support of her husband allows her to be so.
Because when they are going different directions much
drama no matter how good she is they will know.
Virtues and standards must start with the husband
and if they don't show them before you marry, don't.
Because if virtues and standards aren't part of their lives
don't believe they'll change because often times they won't.

Don't Advertise What You're Not Selling

"Don't Advertise What You're Not Selling."

My Sisters remember when you dress please don't
advertise what you're not selling, sampling or giving away.
Although you may have a Beautiful curvy frame
parts of your body you don't need to display.
Why expose yourself just to get unwanted attention you
call them Dogs so why would you want to attract them.
Don't you know when you show yourself in such a manner
you're not being respected or taken serious by him.
Just know you shouldn't advertise your body but show
what their eyes cannot see.
The real you the Beauty of the spirit that you should
treasure more than the outside totally.
Don't advertise what you're not selling, sampling,
or giving away as many have done in the past.
When you become a free sample you're saying you're
not worthy to be Cherished so relationships never last.
Don't you advertise what you're not selling, sampling or
giving away don't disrespect yourself by the way you dress.
There are fashions that seem to expose so much of the body
that you're viewed as just meat to many I must confess.
You don't need to show what you have you could wear
a Potato sack males are going to look anyway.
The Beauty should be shown in your personality not in an
attitude of pride that lead my into the games they play.
Fine has become an attitude more than a look as it used to
be so many truly believe the Cat Calls that they hear.
But to get between your legs a male will tell you anything
he doesn't mind straight up lying in your ear.
The bottom line is no one has or ever will be that fine
when you know that many who were fine lost their shape.
There are males who married females who were very
shapely but when they picked up weight they tried to escape.
They still verbally assault them with threats of leaving
them if they don't lose the weight.
Love is about seeing the inner Beauty of that spouse it's
knowing that we all change physically at any rate.
Don't advertise what you're not selling, sampling, or
giving away but dress and be conservative to everyone.
Because the truth is many are drawn more to a male than a Man
and it's too late when they find out because the deed has been done.

Booty doesn't mean Beauty

"Booty doesn't mean Beauty."

Let me be the first to state that I Love to see the
Beautiful curves that Yah in the woman has created.
To see a Queen who is stacked as we used to say
should be admired for her Beauty and appreciated.
But Booty doesn't mean Beauty when there is an
attitude like it's all about them when it shouldn't be.
Having butt doesn't give no one the right to think they're
all that when it's not your face but your butt many see.
True Beauty is more than what the eyes are capable
of seeing it's in a heart changed from above.
A heart that no longer has a self righteous all about
them attitude but one filled with Love.
Without the Beauty within you're just a body and
that's the way a male will see you another ass to smack.
Sex is a spiritual addiction although it's felt physically
through Lust sex is far worst to many than crack.
Spirits are joined as well as two bodies and ties are
made that can destroy you totally.
Once again you need to know when you're joined to
someone you could become one with demons easily.
I admire the physical attributes of our Queens not
just their bodies but the whole appearance of them.
Especially those with a sweet personality who when they
open their mouths you know they're a treasure from Him.
A smile is more Beautiful than any Butt with pretty
eyes on a sweet face no matter her size.
Beauty is felt within your heart more than seen but I do
Love to see a Queen with nice legs and shapely thighs.
Beauty is more than appearance and when we look with
our eyes only instead of our hearts we are truly blind.
Because looks are very deceiving and shallow they fade
over time where true inner Beauty grows you'll find.
Booty is not Beauty no matter how a male responds to
seeing you and your butt there could be one thing on his mind.
Seeing you and your big ole' butt naked hitting, splitting,
and later believe or not forgetting your big ole behind.
If your beauty isn't felt you're just a body there's nothing
special about you, you're just one of many.
I was at the Sudan/Versatile Ladies of Style 2nd Line
yesterday and I saw booty and I mean plenty.

Locked Down and Natural

"Locked Down and Natural."

This poem is dedicated to my Sisters who have
stopped the chemical warfare on their hair.
This is to my Locked down and naturally Beautiful
Sisters who are around the world everywhere.
Sisters who are sporting Afros again braids, locks, twists,
and every style that keeps them pure and natural too.
Sisters like Valerie and Amara with small afros
and my Sisters Rose and Kim just to name a few.
Sisters like the one I saw with the Big afro at Old School
in the Park who served drinks for the Perfect Fit.
The Sister was naturally Beautiful tall, pretty,
and of course Beautiful legs and eyes I must admit.
Or the equally Beautiful Sister I saw at the market
with the long beautiful locks today.
She was all natural and Beautiful Locked down
and natural all the way.
Sisters like Michelle Reed who became my friend on
Spiritual Minded Magazine who commented on a poem also.
The poem Plantation hair the naturally curly hair we
were born with the way they describe Yah if you didn't know.
Natural hair is making a come back and I for one am glad
to see the versatility the Sisters use to style their do.
My Sisters Beautiful is the word I would use to describe
who you are and what you've done, I applaud you.
Locked down and natural are some of the world's
most Beautiful women who truly from the crowd stand out.
Locked down and natural for many of my Sisters who
have had bad hair days with chemicals is what it's all about.
Sisters who appreciate all that's natural about them who
wear their hair without the chemical treatment.
For many those perms were the end of their healthy hair
because for many perms are hair punishment.
Let's be honest and I'm not picking on or putting down
my Sisters who aren't natural and they're Beautiful to me.
But my Sisters who are locked down and natural are
truly very Beautiful to see.
Locked down and naturally Beautiful Sisters whose
naturally curly hair is not kinky or nappy but strong .
When your hair is locked down and natural it is
more healthier because it's chemical free and it grows long.

Plantation Hair

"Plantation Hair."

This was a term a female used to describe
her hair but this is derogatory at best.
Along with hating our unique looks our lips, noses,
and shapes we hate our hair along with the rest.
We've even accepted the derogatory statements
of our enemies like Nappy and Kinky too.
Yet we won't accept the fact that we were the
first created of Yah, your Father looks like you.
Africa is the cradle of civilization it's been proven
that the Black man and woman were here first.
Upon this knowledge and not the newest texturizer
I hope you would quench your thirst.
In His image and likeness we were created we
have everything from our Father above.
But being in these United Snakes we are just
like our enemy truly void of His Love.
We now see ourselves as the enemy and our self
destruction looms as we murder each other everyday.
What we don't do with a bullet or a knife we're
killing each other with the things we say.
We have bought in the notion that the enemy
White washed us with that we're Lazy and No good.
But they came and got us from Africa to do
their work this is clearly understood.
England purged their prisons and sent the worst
to the New World and the rest is history.
Wherever they landed they brought with them
so much crime, hate, and misery.
They even created their own god fashioned after
Zeus with straight hair to look like them.
An image that does not fit Yah's Revelation
description their Zeus does not look like Him.
Our hair is curled which shows movement
and movement shows life as well.
There is a variety of styles we can wear our hair
from braids, afros, twists, and more I'm here to tell.
We aren't the whole sum of our hair but our hair
is a part of who Yah created us to be.
When I look at our hair Nappy, Kinky, or Plantation
hair isn't something that I see.

Two Straws in a Cup

"Two Straws in a Cup."

As children when we'd drink a beverage we'd
have two straws in it as if taking in twice as much.
But those times have gone and we now use one straw
but the two straws I'd like to reach back and touch.
Two straws in a cup or bottle of any beverage
that with that special person you'd like to share.
Two who are growing closer to one another the two
straws things is for those who truly care.
It's not about being cheap but Romantic a face to
face up close eye to eye thing we have here.
Two are in each other's faces those two straws in a
cup bring two people ever so near.
It's sad that Romance is becoming a lost art of Love
that many young and old are living without.
Sex has replaced Romance and relationships are
crumbling and suffering there's no doubt.
Two straws in a cup face to face could easily lead
to two people kissing and sharing so much more.
Two who are growing deeper in Love, appreciation,
and respect for that special one they adore.
We need to think Romance and do those special crazy
things bring her Mother flowers and her candy too.
Bring back the classics things you see in those old
movies or the things your parents used to do.
Sex should never be on the agenda or the final
destination of any date but that person grow to treasure.
You should look with your heart through all sensitivity
so everything about them you can Love beyond measure.
We're having cooler nights grab a blanket and a cup
of hot chocolate, tea, or cocoa with two straws in it.
Cuddle up together and look into each others eyes
let the flames of Romance become lit.
Hand holding soft music and words whispered
in her ear expressing just how you really feel.
A woman needs to know within herself that she is
very special to you and that you are real.
Two straws in a cup with two who are in Love set
the perfect mood for true Romance.
It's about cherishing your sweetheart for the wonderful
person she is and not about getting into her pants.
