The Answer

You ask, “Do I Qualify”?
Can I fulfill your needs and become the man you need me to be
My sister, are you prepared for what you have asked for
Can you handle the responsibility?

Can you accept that, by God, I am the chosen one, the authority, the comforter, and the head?
Will you submit, and willingly follow my path
Or will you fight with me instead?

If I am your King, will you treat me as such?
With the best of your beauty and poise
Or will I be subjected to an appearance neglected…
And checked with some serious noise?

When I talk, will you listen? I mean wholeheartedly and feel me…
Or will rush me just to make your point too?
Can I be the man at all times, even when it hurts…
..And not just when it is convenient for you?

Can you love me for me….
And not who you “wish” I could be?
Will you see the strong “Black Man” within?
Or will you always remind me of all your past brothers behind me and make me pay for their sins?

Will you be patient and teach me to understand you…… and allow my knowledge of your needs to grow.
Or will you shut me out when I ask. “Baby what’s wrong”?
Or respond with, “Well a real man would know!”

When we met, what was it that caught your eye?
Was it my mind, my heart, my personality?
Or was it my suit or my Job?
Or do you love what I drive, instead of what’s driving me?

Yes I can, and I will, make love to you from midnight to the dawning of the sun.
But if I tell you I’m tired, will you trust I’m sincere?
Or believe there must be another one.


My sister I love you, and my heart can be yours.
No woman could lead me astray.
But like you I have needs, so I beg of you please,
 In this love thang meet me halfway.

In life’s tough times I’ll hold you.
In the rough times I’ll mold you.
Your simplest wish would be my command.
My life is yours if need be, yes you can fully bleed me.

And when hell comes in your place I’ll stand.
A good relationship is a powerful institution
That must be founded on a foundation of two.
So to answer your question, yes sister I do qualify.

Now more importantly I ask..


Do You???

Prayer for Love - An Excerpt from Don Miguel Ruiz's book entitled - The Four Agreements

This is an excerpt of an extremely inspiring and motivational piece of masterfully written literature. One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever read. Far too beautiful to keep to myself. My gift to you: We are going to share a beautiful dream together- a dream that you will love to have all of the time. In this dream you are in the middle of a beautiful, warm sunny day. You hear the birds, the wind, and a little river. You walk toward the river. At the edge of the river is an old man in meditation and you see that out of his head comes a beautiful light of different colors. You try not to bother him, but he notices your presence and opens his eyes. He has the kind of eyes that are full of love and a big smile. You ask him how he is able to radiate all of that beautiful light. You ask him if he can teach you to do what he is doing. He replies that many, many years ago he asked the same question of his teacher. The old man begins to tell you his story: “My teacher opene...

Emotional Servitude ©

Bondage is - subjection to external influences and internal negative thoughts and attitudes  W. Clement Stone The ties that bind. I never really gave much thought to that statement as a youngster. However; as I am now an adult and have matured somewhat, I truly understand the importance of establishing and maintaining enlightening, healthy, positive, supportive and uplifting relationships – albeit formal or informal. I personally have had people come and go through my life like commuters through Grand Central Terminal. Some of them leaving an imprint on my life that will last a lifetime while others have barely registered a blip on my emotional radar. All of them nonetheless helping to mold me into the man I am destined to become. However, I’m still a work in progress. We all are. In some shape, form or fashion we all are incomplete to a certain extent. I think that’s the way the Creator intended it. To stave off complacency. To keep us hungry and ever evolvin...

My Other Love Letter ©

A relationship is placing one’s heart and soul in the hands of another while taking charge of another in one’s soul and heart  Kahlil Gibran "I love you. I love you for all you are to me. I love you because of who you are, and what you represent. I know that people use the word love so loosely these days. Sometimes with little to no meaning behind it …… just Lip Service. However, I assure you that when I say I love you, I mean it. I never thought that I would ever find this kind of love. I didn’t think that this kind of love even existed. The very thought of you makes me smile. The sound of your voice makes my heart skip a beat. When I see you it’s like the first time every time. I love the way you treat me…. like royalty. I know that there have been those that have come along and told you that they love you but treated you so horribly. I believe that it is because they didn’t have a clue as to what exactly they had in you. They did not know your value. They were so...
