POETRY
His New ASSistant by Black Diamond

You say I seem so right for you
I say you are thinking too hard
I am curious of what the future will
hold
Only time will tell, as the relationship
gets old

Tricks, lies, games, not me, I don't
like to play
I'd rather put it out there, you'll find
out anyway
So feel free to be yourself but just
don't do me wrong
Or you'll be looking for me and poof,
I'll be gone

Oh baby, I could easily fall for you
I'm not on the rebound; it's the
things you do
When you wrap your big strong arms
around me
There is no place in the world that I'd
rather be

See, I know for sure God sent you my
way
To encourage, inspire and show me a
better day
Just his confirmation to move on by
all means
Time to stop playing Girl and start
chasing your dreams

Intelligence, sex appeal and ambition
You are the full package baby with no
competition
If for some reason I never see you
again
Then you've already served your
purpose, so I still win

A real man from head to toe
Muscles everywhere baby please
dont' go
Anywhere until I'm fully out of my
shell
And I promise you one day, I will
serve you well

Mmmm your muscles and my curves,
a perfect combination
When our bodies meet, I feel nothing
but pure sensation
You see, we fit together like a hand in
a glove
I want anything you're offering, sex,
companionship, even love

I'm cool, calm, and collected
But I like to keep my feelings
protected
The other side of me can be fierce,
yet still show compassion
When I really want something I go
after it with full aggression

I'm smart, cute with a multitude of
skills
I plan to send them all running for
the hills
Not a nag or hag, although I've
learned to be persistent
Watch out ladies, I'm gonna be his
new ASSistant


9-1-1  By JEROME

On an ordinary morning
Of September 11, 2001

Quietly eating my breakfast at a local
diner
As my day had just begun

Then an eerie voice over the radio
Spoke about a plane striking one of
the twin towers

A second plane hit the other tower
Within a couple of hours

The White House was also a target
But the Pentagon instead took the
blast

A fourth plane failed to reach its
destination
In Pennsylvania for some reason it
had crashed

In total disbelief, I listened
As the news began to unfold

I questioned how this could have
happened
As each breaking story was told

But then my Pastor called as I sat
frozen in my chair
He wasn’t calling to set blame
He knew the only solution was prayer

Praying for the victims and praying
for the pain
Praying for those found still alive
And for those who had been defamed

Praying for the ignorant and misled
Who were forced to assist in these
terrible acts
Praying for the investigator who
followed the lead
And evidence they would eventually
track

Praying for our security
Which has now come under siege
And praying for our civility
As we seek answers to proceed

Praying for our future and praying for
our past
But when all is said and done
The question still remained
Could America recover from this
blast?

So as the story was made public
And as more of the facts had been
revealed
It felt like this was all a dream, but
the events
I knew were very real

I could have been at the Pentagon
I could have been on one of those
planes
Two of my co-workers were in
Manhattan at the time
It could have been me in exchange

What if I had gotten lost trying to find
the courthouse
And ended up by the World Trade
Center?

Someone else might be writing this
poem
And in their own words they might
have entered

None of us are safe
And our physical borders are not
secure
None of us have the answers
But I pray to God that we endure

It’s nice that we are pulling together
Taking each other by the hand
It’s great to see the leaders of our
Nation
Demonstrating that they understand

So as the healing process has begun
And as we’re learning how to cope
I pray that we all look to the God of
heaven
For our everlasting hope.




Wanted! A Good  Referee

Can someone please tell me when this
boxing match is over?

I think I rushed to enter the ring too
soon, I forgot all about my four leaf
clover

I got marital issues coming from the left,
and job issues hitting me from the right

I took a hard jab of medical issues to
the chin, I think I'm about to lose this
fight

The press is really stressing me out, the
blows to the stomach and upper body
have seriously injured me

But I don't have enough sense to just
fall to the floor.....I'm starting to feel
unconscious...I'll never get victory

My body is so very tired, I don't know
how long I'll be able to last,

The drama from a few new mistresses
has emerged, I've yet to even overcome
my past

Can somebody please just ring the bell
and bring this massacre to an end?

I'll never survive this living hell, I don't
even know where to begin

I took one step forward, got hit with a
flurry of punches that knocked me back
nearly five feet

I don't even know why I'm still standing
in this fight, I'm nothing but a fresh
piece of meat

Why won't the referee go ahead and
stop this killing, he knows I'm clearly no
match

You see the end of me will begin my
healing, my itch is terribly in need of a
scratch

I haphazardly entered into this dual, by
gosh I'm not even prepared

These blows to my head are so viciously
cruel, I wondered if anybody cared

But now is not the time for me to
relinquish to self pity, I've got to
somehow stay the course and fight

I may not be considered very witty, but
while my knees begin to wobble and my
head spins around....I must keep
swinging with all my might

Mr. Referee, you did a lousy job, as my
stumbling to the floor has began,

I think I threw my last punch like a thief
about to rob, as my fist flies in the air
like a fan

I wish I knew a quick prayer, a quick
quote from the bible to at least bring me
at peace with God,

I definitely have met my slayer, I'm
going down from the left hook of life,
this will certainly be an end to life nod

Where's the preacher, nurse. or doctor
when you need them...I can't help but
die slowly, for my fate is no longer
determined by me

Now my world has come down like rain
from the sky, but to preclude it all.... I
needed a good referee
.....EnD

Thought For The Day
Some people may be seen in life for a
brief moment at a glance but leave an
impression for a lifetime upon one's
imagination.

Formula For A Great Day

1.  Start everyday off with a morning
prayer of thanksgiving after you get
out of bed
- Directly afterwards, share your
planned activities and invite God to
be a welcomed participant;  i.e....ask
him to help you with doing a great
job today, scoring real high on your
test, excelling on the court or in
court, ect...
-  Always ask God to help remove the
fears from your life (fear combats
faith..they cannot coexist)
2.  When you finish your prayer,
believe in your heart and command
your faith to go forth and have a
great day;  when the enemy tries to
throw you off course with fear and
controversy, rebuke him and repeat
to yourself, "this is my day and God
has granted it; therefore you are a liar
Satan, so get thee hence behind me!"
3.  At noon, find a place (car,
bathroom, closet) to resume your
prayer with God; praying for those
who are not having such a great day
and also asking for strength for you
to keep the faith; always pray when
your faith is about to be lost...don't
lose it but hang on in there....have an
inspirational song that will pick you
up if for some reason you falter....
keep that song on alert and use it to
help you restore your faith
4.  Before you lay your head down to
sleep at night, resume your prayer of
thanking God for keeping you
throughout the day and helping you
overcome all obstacles, as well as
praise him by saying "thank you
Lord" for all the great things that are
happening in your life; practice this
daily, while keeping the faith and you
are guaranteed to have a great day.
5.  Always keep in mind....you hold
the key!!  If you forget to pray three
times a day, just take off from where
you remember to resume.





Cousin Tracy, may you rest in peace!
30 years departing and 3 kids
surviving! This poem is dedicated to
you.

The Fragrance Of A Rose

Your life in this world was only for a
season, as your time here seemed
short but complete

Though some will be quick to explain
why, they really don’t know the
reason, why the maker you must now
meet

Some will talk and many will
speculate, about how you conducted
your walk, how you chose to regulate

For in the midst of our most terrible
pain, we as your loved ones will
eventually surrender our hurt and
begin to celebrate

For you have endured the toughest
rain, for the coldest winter could not
even move your roots

Sudden deaths have a way of leaving
such a guilty stain, did we show you
enough love, and did we ever deny
you the truth?

Though some of us will be disturbed
and confused, we will ponder this
tragedy for quite some time,

For your sudden departure has left
no one to accuse, though your death
was a loss, to loved ones it hit like a
crime

Tracy, you will be dearly missed and
your legacy of love will live on

For your young kids will carry the
torch without a hitch, for you have
entered into glory and you will not be
alone

Quietly and somewhat peacefully you
left us, and why?….nobody really
knows

For your life definitely made a
tremendous mark, for you were to us
like the fragrance of a rose

Cruise Time

I'm talking walking in the sand,
strolling on the beach, honeys all
around, at my grasp and my reach

Tired of stressing on the job, going
home to a slob, get your mind made
up, and floss like Remy Ma

Heather Headly said it too, it's time
for you to do you, leave the kids with
your folks, and have yourself a brew

I'm talking shopping in Jamaica with
the fat American dollar, I'm talking
swimming in the Caymans, crystal
waves near my collar

So if you looking for some fun,
wanna chill without a gun, need
some hugs on the run, wanna sip
Jamaican rum?

Come on and join our cruise, we got
room for all of you, from the single to
the couple, we will mingle, we don't
struggle, we relax without a tussle

Some will say they can't afford it, or
say they don't have time, it's on you
to get away, so you best convince
your mind

Your job will be there upon return,
home gurl check out the president,
he often frequents Camp David, just
like he's a resident

So when I see you on the cruise, line
dancing up on the boat, I'll just light
my Black and Mild, blow out some
wavy smoke

We'll reflect back on this sweet time,
when you may have had your doubt,
then we'll plan next year's cruise,
leaving the memories for the ocean
trout

Go ahead and do yourself a favor,
make your mind up today, click the
online link below before your mind
begins to sway

You will have so much fun, it's like
you in another world, you will return
a better person, you could return as
somebody's gurl!

Come and Cruise With Me

Come and cruise with me
I'll let you snooze with me
Don't wor...ry be hap..py - no more
blues with me
Break all the rules with me,
Then you will clearly see,You're the
woman for me,
My clip is full, my rap is dull, I'm
trying furiously, for you and I to be,
an item seriously....
I got the ends, you got the bends, so
come and cruise with me....
Then you and I can be, engaged
affectionate...ly,
We'll walk the boat, catch a float, sit
in the ja...cuz...zi,
So come and cruise with me,...I'm
down on bended knee,
What's on the ship, stays on the
ship, I'm talking pri..va...cy, so come
and cruise with me,
We'll be dancing up a storm to the
likes of Jod..eci,
So come and cruise with me, in turn
you'll set yourself free!


What If Ya Wrong

You think  you got all the facts, no
need for me to keep talking
I got no time to relax, because you
planning on walking
Right straight out of my life, as
though we had no beginning
I had to let go of the strife, I
recognize I'm not winning
You claim I did all the dirt, as though
my conscience was numb
I guess I caused all the hurt, you
make me feel I'm so dumb
I can't confess that I'm guilty, I did
not do what you claim
I know you think I'm so filthy, I can't
admit to your blame
But did it ever cross your mind that
you were singing the wrong song
Not trying to stress or be unkind, but
if perhaps you were wrong
I never was a perfect woman, all life
comes with many flaws
Its not like you were a perfect
showman, you often showed all your
draws
I know the evidence against me is
strong, but only I know what really
occurred
Can you imagine if you are truly
wrong?  Can you imagine if you have
truly erred?
I'm trying to patch up all of our pain,
I want to continue to be your wife
I feel the effects of the sinful stain,
But when I said "I do" I said it for life
So can we just forgive one another?  
Can we bury our troubled past?
Can we let our love be rediscovered?  
Can we vow forever to make it last?
So can I share with you a fat and
juicy kiss?  And may it confirm our
willingness to trust and makeup
Because baby, your loving I don't
want to miss, and yes I refuse for us
to breakup



Let every ounce of rejection produce a
pound of perfection and a ton of
determination.
G-natti

Poetic Expression:  

Sometimes the trouble in our life seems
prevalent to break us,

Oftentimes after we survive the storm and
reflect back, that trouble was there to
make us

Wisdom is born to those who decipher the
difference.

We the survivors are champions that
become counsel to those who go through
what we graduated from.  

Know your purpose!

G-natti


You Caught My Eye by  Bonita Ayoola

You caught my eye, you had me
staring
It wasn't that uniform you were
wearing

Baby it was that dip in your step
How you held your head high

Your demeanor told me you may be a
bit shy
That was okay, because brotha was
still fly

The way you fold your lips, as if to
suppress your words

That fresh hair cut that accented your
face
I had already imagined myself with a
veil and white lace

A man like you didn't need contacts,
you sported your tinted glasses and I
was feeling that

That first glance took me to a place
and you were something I had to
chase

That wasn't me!  It would seem too
forward, so I said a silent prayer and
left it up to the Lord

Now some call it lust but I saw my
mate for life
Yes! I envisioned myself being your
wife

To get what you want you must know
what you want

You caught my eye not for a second,
not a minute, but a lifetime, so I'll sit
back and wait for you to be mine

Anything worth having is worth the
waiting time

Years have passed not many but few
I wake to say I love you, and your
response is I love you too

Then, I roll over to your passionate
kiss
If you hadn't caught my eye that day
we would not have this marital bliss

(NOTE...See her other poem
"Packing"
at very end)

Who Is He? by Lettie in Cali

When I entered the room, seeing him
was different and exciting, but I had
control

We had only spoken on the phone
and now I was seeing him up close
and personal

He had a face that could actually be
intimidating when photographed

His appearance was not what I
usually would go for
but I am not complaining because he
represented very well

I don’t want you to take me wrong;
so please allow me to express and
explain, his wonderfully God given
features

His jaw bones were strong, his bald
head was sexy and the color of his
skin was a tempting taste of coco
with a shot of cream and his eyes
were a shade lighter than brown,

Looking into them, there should be a
sign that read enter at your own risk
but if or when he gives you a smile
you will never remember the frown
that was on his brow

He had a very wide back with
extensive broad shoulders and
strong chest; there was more so
listen and let me tell you the rest

Now I want to let you in on a little
secret. This man had a pair of thighs
that would make any woman want to
kiss;
“yea” you got it from one end to the
other, inside the right thigh and then
inside of the left one; wow….. hold
up I must compose myself

His lips were so soft and responsive
to the touch

He placed his lips on my lips and….
mmm…. I remember getting a rush

He held me in a way that yielded
deep feelings of electric strokes
slowly moving up and down my spine

He held me in a way that I was unable
to ignore and suppress the way the
inside of my spirit felt, trying to hold
the movement of my pelvic back, was
out of my range

The motion and movement that I had
no control over

He said, "your mouth is saying no
but baby your body needs me, so go
with the flow;  it’s all right its all
good"

I said "go with the flow, what do you
mean? , you don’t even …….I don’
t……… is this normal for you…..and
do you?"

His tongue was absolutely
unbelievable but at the same
time…… fascinating and
tantalizing………..

Screaming was all I could do;
………but I think it sounded as
though I was being attacked and so I
had to do something right in the
middle of the act

I voluntarily grabbed a pillow to
deaden the sounds of my screams;
there was no way I wanted to be
interrupted

I had to go up and back down that
hill I realize what I was feeling was
oh so real,

I stopped holding back....and all at
once I let go, and there  came that
tidal wave.... milk shake? No, not at
all but I shook from deep within…..
then it was ova.

Packing by Bonita Ayoola

Years I've given you with love and
patience, but today I say I can't take it
As I pack this suitcase I have
thoughts of you
How you said you loved me and
you'd always be true
They say all men cheat, That I don't
doubt
But my man on the down low
With another brother, What's that all
about
Today I came home only to surprise
you
Little did I know you had a surprise
for me too
Now I can't stop packing because of
the pain from your deceit
You can't tell me to calm down and I
don't understand
I just walked in and caught you with
a man
Yes in my home, in my space,
My heart almost stopped when I saw
the passion in your face
It was the grace of God that I spared
your life
I can't blame me, I was a good wife
I'm done packing and I'm headed out
the doors
But a smile creeps across my face
cause the suitcases that I've packed
are not Mine, They're Yours
