Point of View

Everyone is viewing the same point
But each with his own view point
And arguments without a point
Relationships that disappoint
Because no one sees the sense of a midpoint
Each time they reach a checkpoint
Hoping to find an endpoint
It’s the source they can’t pinpoint
It’s like their minds being held at gunpoint
And they pray, hoping self-control they can reappoint
But they still don’t see the point.

Now in an argument there are things to think of
There is more than one point to beaware of
But at the same time points to beware of
There will be things you’ll be accused of
But have faith; there is nothing to be afraid of
Your point of view is nothing to be ashamed of
So you focus on a point to take advantage of
And so of the main points be observant of
Then you hit with a point they could never conceive of
Or think you capable of
When viewing points from many views, just be mindful of
The things you must be careful of

Everyone has their own view
Not sure what to do so their experience they review
Using knowledge in their purview
Life is the feature not the preview
So sit in front the mirror and start your interview
Before problems brew and stew, of your life take an overview
Cause when the shit starts to spew and blocks your view
Make sure you think of each point’s view before you counterview
And that’s just my opinion, my point of view.

Beauty

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
I saw her beauty before I held her,
But the blindness of society holds her
Defining what’s pretty
In another’s eyes that’s ugly
Discriminatory,
Too black, too fat,
Nose too wide and too flat,
Body type don’t fit the stats
Hair too nappy, cut your locks
Delilah, the best liar,
To fit in, silicone gets stuffed in,
There’s a ban on plastic so what you still doing,
Now beauty is extremely thick or extremely thin
Depending from which angle you’re looking
Or how tight the clothing,
For those who want revealing
And those in need of fluff concealing
Calling it toning
Pitch Black turn browning and still transitioning
Clorox for bleaching, Colgate for whitening, turmeric for coloring
Hiding from the sun, no melanin
Depleting the pigment in their skin
What’s happening
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder
What is the beholder’s definition of beauty and what is he beholding…
Does the beholder need glasses to correct the blurred vision of beauty that he’s seeing
Why tamper with a masterpiece,
God’s creation and in my heart I know he’s pleased,
So why modify the beauty I am to please mere mortal beings.

Reason with Myself

I sat down to hold a reasoning with myself,
Because
I realized I was allowing myself to get away with some simple things and I needed a valid reason, before I get ahead of myself and pass my place….
I had to step away from my old self
Stand outside and take a look inwards at myself…aiming to be outstanding…
Knowing I must build my Self-confidence,
making sure I stayed away from selfish influence,
Be Self-conscious not self-righteous
While I try to find my self-worth and grow my self-esteem,
That’s when I’ll become self-aware,
taking Selfies,
Captured memories…
Tomorrow I have to be my best self,
A new version of myself
Make on lookers take a look at themselves
As I Chronicle my rise to a position of higher esteem…. inhaling my sativa getting steamed
My eyes Opened realizing what self-love means.
Knowing to myself I shouldn’t be mean…
My mind started drifting,
And I started thinking,
And the thought I was thinking
Wasn’t a thought I ought to be thinking,
Thinking these thoughts are destructive thinking and I shouldn’t be keeping those thoughts in mind.
So, While Standing beside myself, I reflected on the thoughts on my mind, thinking I need to keep myself in line,
tiptoeing the line, while reading between the lines like a mastermind…. seeking myself not realizing I’ve been here all the time, like a spiritual awakening, the world is mine.
Forever watchful, being aware of hate filled minds, watching for the good and the bad minds while being silent like mimes
Always Check spelling while reading my mind
Ensuring autocorrect don’t change the intended thought I had in mind
So, I rationalized that I must set deadlines,
Give myself a life line
stop Telling myself I have a lifetime,
Work with specifically defined timelines
Hoping in the process I don’t lose my mind, then be to be tasked with trying to find my mind,
I will always being mindful of the signs,
No matter how many times I changed my mind like I have a set of minds
I still must find myself in the right mindset,
So Nightly I reason with myself,
searching for the right frame of mind,
with desires and emotions aligned, always wanting the whole not just peace of mind, like a puzzle these thoughts broke my mind, but I will put the pieces back in line, trying not to cross the line as I pull myself together and back online knowing my reboot will be based on a higher design.

Anything

Have you ever thought about anything
And nothing at the same time
Even though that sounds confusing
It makes sense
As you sit contemplating nonsense
Sitting doing nothing while thinking
About everything but still not doing anything.
Have you ever thought about everything
And how your choices on anything impacts everything
And while you sit doing nothing you should
Really be thinking about acting and try to do something
Or anything

Random Thoughts – Questions

Why is Luke warm and not hot, or cold for that matter?
And have you ever wondered if you can cry under water?
Random thoughts provide good questions but no reasonable answer
Like since you can lock up and lock down, have something go uphill and downhill
Close up and close down, shouldn’t we be able to open up and open down
Or why do they have opposites when there are terms that defies this,
Like why isn’t shut up the opposite of shut down?
Or how is it that fat chance and slim chance means the same.
It’s the language that’s to be blamed,
Having so many words that should be different, yet they mean the same
Like thaw and unthaw,
Random thoughts that can leave you in awe,
Think about it, if you move from being aweless to awesome,
do you eventually get to be awful?
Or could you be so handsome that you eventually become a handful…

Think about this as your mind drifts, when you’re divorced are your in-laws now out-laws?
Or Would it be safe to say that a masterpiece is a fraction of masterful,
Random thoughts can consume the mind,
Coming up with questions with the answers being a puzzling find,
Like why they are called steps outside but stairs inside
Or If loose lips sink ships, does tight lips keep them afloat?
In our daily life we wonder about,
With thoughts that we dare not let come out,
Like have you ever wondered who or what time is telling on?
I have so many random thoughts, this list could get extra long
So, let me ask one final question,
What would happen if you get scared half to death twice?

Hate Love

They say me and my girl have a love hate relationship,
But I don’t love hate.
What they don’t appreciate is that my mind she stimulates
And when we get intimate, my fears she decimates
with words like…

I love you.

And I would get poetic and say some shit like
I love you too,
Yes that’s times two,

How do I love you, trying to count the ways,
And I won’t deny that I hate love some days,
And I hate her and some ways
And the tricks love plays,
For each argument a fine my soul pays,
Losing me with each moment that an argument waste,

And I’d hate love,
Not her.

Like the times when she’d get upset because of something I’ll forget,
And for days she’d up and get vex
And I’d hating love and love loses respect
But earns it back in the makeup sex,
A hateful love that’s so simply complex,
While outsiders looking in always get perplexed,
Trying to categories,
And have us marginalized,
Not seeing what I see looking into her eyes,
And so they use stereo types to access our lives
But they need to realize that love isn’t always wise.

Now I hate love.
Because I was seeking perfection,
But fell in love with imperfection knowing love carries its own implications,
Creating impaired vision, while preying on emotions, evoking beep affection.
So yes, I love her.
But hate love for all its sweetly cruel intentions.

Love’s Effect

For her I stood erect
I could not have been more direct
From head to toes I inspect
She looked at me like an insect
Knitting her brows, showing deject
I said; hold on, what did you expect
You walk around exposing your breast
They must be the topic of the subject
They’re exposed, nipples cold, pointing at every object
Then you look down on me with abject

She paused for a moment no words for her to select
She knew I was right and meant no disrespect
So I opened my mouth and paid due respect
And she blushed and smiled at my quaint dialect
When the poet chose words, my choice was perfect
Soon her heart became the topic of my project
And when we met, souls connect
Hearts joined, no one could dissect
And each day one more memory to collect

My soul searches no more, I’ve found my prospect
And love is pondered in all aspect
Wanting to ensure that there is no disconnect
In her, no wrong can I detect
In my eyes she’s never incorrect
And in her presents I feel imperfectly perfect
Her love virus took over my soul and my life it infect.
While my heart I inspect as a cure I try to inject
But in love so deep our souls interconnect
Hearts entwined, neither can eject
Only deflect the effects of disaffect
Caused by loves rejects
So we don’t reflect on love’s regret
But live by love’s architect
Using the day we met and the joy it resurrect
To direct and redirect our life, limiting love’s aftereffect.

Where am I?

Here I am
But is this what I think I am
I’ve faced worse, testing who I am
And I know I can’t run from who I am
Because it’s what I am
That creates the man I am
Do you understand where I am?
Trying to transform the man I am
To be a better man than I am
Looking at the mirror unable to see who I am
Am I as real as I think I am
Or as righteous as I feel I am
My mind’s not where I am
But deep in contemplation as to where I am
While trying to fix the man I am
As I go along, trying to find who, what or where I am
For now I have to resign to being who I am

Love

Let’s make love.
No!
Let’s grow love.
Create love,
Watch love develop,
Transform lust and emotions like love into love
Build it into real love,
True love,
No lying love, trying to fake love
I’m a slave to your love,
A love slave so deep in love.
Not new to love
Just not used to your kinda love,
So intense, an incensed love,
So much love,
A boundless love,
With depth and substance
A love filled with resilience
A timeless love,
Birth in a second, feels like a lifetime
love at first sight,
But love learned over time.
Right?
Over time I’ve come to know love.
Watch love in full flight,
This is beyond love,
A future love,
A vision of a brighter love,
A Union of love conceived with love,
Two hearts, now one spirit, joined in love,
No doubt this is love,
My entire being senses and feels your love,
And with the same intensity I give you my love.

Mind

It’s far from their mind
Fathers saying those genes aren’t mine
The jacket was never mine,
so never mind…
Mothers who don’t mind

Daughters saying “is a man mi want to get mine,
Don’t mind if him a never mine”.

Not realising she’s a gold mine,
She has no goals in mind
So she never mind
Giving up peace of mind
For a Sugar daddy,
who’s saying “that piece is mine”.

Son saying “give me a gun to hunt mine”
Education far from the top of mind
Society saying “never mind,
They don’t have strength only bad mind”
No sense coming with nonsense in mind
Destructive thoughts from a destructive mind
They must be out of their mind
Thinking we’re not of sound mind
Watch as I sound mine
Exploding like a landmine,
Talent, I’m going to master min
Show the power of a mastermind
No matter how evil trys to undermine
Never mind,
With thoughts and efforts combine
Seek and ye shall find,
God will give you peace of mind
So never mind,
God knows the devil’s design,
And already have plans in mind
So when they see you rise from the thoughts of your mind
With a different mindset and new thoughts set in mind
Lay out your options so when you change your mind
It’ll Blow their mind,
And never mind.
