Hill Harper Hour;Day One

Last night I started reading Hill Harper's Letters to a Young Sister;deFINE your destiny,his follow up novel to Letters to a Young Brother ; MANifest Your Destiny. Ladies questioned him of some of the things he focused on in the Young Brother in the way they it refers to a "young sistah";to give them the knowledge they may not get from a man in thier life. I came to apart where Hill asked the readers to sketch where we see our lives,sketch our dreams ,goals,everything.
I decided I'd sketch and then paint a vivid picture.
Here is my First treatise.

Letter One.
Hill just said I was FINE.
Not that," Wassup shorty,yu lookin too FINE do yu mind if i drop yu a line?" Fine.
or that "Hey slim. Can I fill them jeans?"Fine either.
That You are Fantastic Interesting Necessary Exceptional FINE.
Fantastic because there is no one else like yu;we're all unique. We are all inimitable.
Interesting because of all the different things going on your life.Your trials and tribulations , Q&As,your perspective on life.
Necessary because the world would not be the same without your contributions that you've put out and the ones yu will in the future.
Exceptional because "you are without exception. No one can "write you off"."(8.Harper)
Babygirl Yu are FINE.

Letter two.

Hill keeps it "old-school".
Tells me to look at the fundemental principles,
the ones needed to create a wonderful life. He's worried with all this "new school" stuff he won't be able to reach me,to get his point across.
He asks me to read his letters in a quiet place away from the computer, away form the tv, away from my cell phone, soI can understand him, can grasp what he is saying, and i can think on it.
I do.{this is just my afternotes.}
Then he asaks a question;What do yu want your life to look like?
If yu know me,yu know I could answer this in soooo many ways.
But he doesn't want me to answer yet.... He just wants me to dream BiG.
Is what you're believing empowering yu or limiting yu??
You can deFINE & design your future... && he asks me to write out the defintion of what I want my life to be.

&&

so do yu.


it has been my hour i wish I could say a tab bit more but I believe it promptness.

That's What She Gets

She said what she wants is a man to be faithful
A true heart somebody willin' and able
To stay by her side through thick and thin
A tender touch every now and then
She's not hung up on fairy tales
Or some dream at the bottom of a wishin' well
Fancy cars or diamond rings
What she wants most are the little things.

Blessed.

hello.
this is no poem just straight off the dome thoughts.
I was sittin here,watchin B0NES && foldin clothes, and i saw my JA Student Competition of the Year Tee.


I'm blessed.
I've to places many people haven't been and there are people who have never even set foot out of their city lines.
I have a wonderful family and some people don't have any or they don't have family that cares.
I have wonderful friends when some have those backstabbing enemies who string them along. yea i've been there but not anymore.
I'm blessed to my have an education; to capture the knowledge giving to me;to dish the knowledge i have;to enjoy the art of learning.
I blessed with the gift of gab.Yes the good && the b ad gab.
I'm blessed to find the UNcomfortability of a writing increment something i enjoy.
I'm blessed to live comfortably and not have to worry about certain things.
I'm blessed && I thank G0d && i love him.
Thank yu.Love yu.

Oral Fixation

I have an Oral Fixation
Off these conversations.
It's Like i'm in an informational session.
Not to mention the fact he's one of God's most handsome creations.
Do Yu need a translation?

I have an Oral Fixation
Off these declarations.
He spills vivid illustrations
&& all i can do is take notes of my observations.
Do yu need an explanation?


I have an Oral Fixation
Off these proclaimations.
He tells me look into the constelations
They will reveal my father's revaltion
&& they will give me my confirmations.
Do yu need an interpertation?


I have an Oral Fixation.
Thoughts making me wonder where he got his education,
so insightful he inspries generations.
They sit all eyes and all minds on him, total concentration,
Trying to figure out how in this presentation,
This man became apart of the perfect equation.
Now after witnessing this situation
Do yu need a transformation?

One Confused Young man looking at me.

Mirror Mirror what do yu see?

A young man who should change his ways because he's shortening his days looking at me.

Mirror Mirror what do yu see?

The good and bad of a young man who should put God first looking at me.

"I'll change my ways.".... Few months later.

"I'm back. I'm Going to ask yu one question;the same one i've always asked this time i'm only asking once."

Mirror Mirror what do yu see?

6'5'' Hazel eyed Gentleman whose mother raised him right. The one who has channeled his intelligence and creativeness for a positive light. One who has dropped his arrogance and those bad habits and picked up good study habits to become head of his class in the Black IvyLeages. The once confused boy turned into a clearly clarified man who oozes of knowledge and charisma. Now all I see is the good of a God fearing man looking at me.

Left In The Dark

Left in the dark.
Solitude of black.
No Greys.
No Colors.
Just Darkness

Left in the dark.
While yu played in the sunlight
Sun-kissed yu got
While i went pale.

Left in the dark.
Now yu shed the light.
Mistakenably.
All too soon.

Left in the dark.
which i find are your lies.
Brought into the truth
I get burned.

Left in the dark.
I once was.
Now in the light.
Skin red and peeling.

Out of the dark.
White liberty.
Frosted hues.
Warm Shades.
Just Light.

If I Could I Would...

This is actually the first poem i ever wrote.
Today is a special day; two years ago today
i lost a dear friend.His mother lost a son.
His father lost his first born. His brothers
lost a mentor and a best friend. && His
daughter lost the man who loved her most
Memphis lost a legend.R.iP David R. Boyd

There's heroes and there's legends.

Heroes get remembered

but ++

Legends never die.



If I could I would If it would bring you back to me

I'd cry a thousand rivers that could set my soul free.

I love you but I hate you but I think you look down on me.

If I could Iwould if it would bring you back to me

I'd walk the desertstorm if it would keep you in life form.

You help me out so much you're kind of like an electric storm.

If I Could Iwould if it would bring you back to me

I'd soar the sky upto the mountains high.

I don't know but it's like your soul and your love give me something to abide by.

If I could I would If it would bring you back to me

I'd do all the things in the world for you if for one last time I could hold you.




Love yu.
