Cameras In My Life

I've had an intimate relationship with cameras all my adult life. Let me introduce a few of them to you...

Revisit the Now

This is the day the time is now empower the present with this simple vow

Nurture an outcome with patience and care only the present separates here and there

Treasure this instance of is life at its best never static in passing in its drama and jest

Envelope this silence know its power encompass this knowing within every hour

Go firmly fluidly with what flows through the veins release all regret born of what may remain

Hold not to the myth of the passing of time see the illusion of future as mist in the mind

Now's the time for ernest living full and rich and sublime with giving

Yes the time is Now

Jesus Was Gay

Jesus was gay
And still is today
Perhaps you question
Why I feel this way

It’s simple to deduce
This kernel of truth
Amid all the clatter
So loud and loose

His words attest
To man at his best
His message vibrantly
Outshines all the rest

Love is the key
Binding you, them and me
It unlocks all grief
Setting the whole world free

Hold fast to this
Therein resides bliss
Unconditional love reveals
Heaven’s eternal kiss

three basics

water
sand
sky

Maximus Majoritus

The rest of us
Let's now discuss
Mighty major Maximus
Mellow magic made for us
To love and admire
as hero and squire
A mountain of a man
Doing all that he can
To give love and a hand
To those of his clan
His glance is enough
Quite majestic and tough
To deliver a boon
or inspire a tune
So make a fuss
Consider it a plus
To ride on the bus
Of all that's Maximus

EbonyKing

The Ebony King came roaring into this life
Uncompromising wit in both calm and strife
No longer doubtful that love might come
What's left is a companion when the sun has gone
Beautiful, garish, proud and strong
Relentlessly nourishing all the day long
Giving up on the call to hibernate
Days pass quickly in the presence of the great

The questions that we are still filled with are some of the same ones I've tried to find answers for all my life. Among them-"how does a modern black man get ahead in today's world?"

As February is upon us it a good time to review from whince we came. This will be the subject of the next few postings. An honest attempt at surveying the portrayals of black men in America since the time of slavery.

Mom's Garden

Winter treds upon my heels
Hard and cold is how it feels
Yet the memory of this green
Warms my soul by what I've seen
Mom has made a paradise
Peaceful quiet simply nice
Solitude serenely mine
I can go there any time

Remember

It was summer 2007
the days were beautiful
it felt like heaven

Off to War

He has now gone off to war
The bromance with Dante has garnished a scar
It is for him the "best thing I could do"
And for me it leaves my insides blue
He lost a cherished baby girl
Sending his life into a chaotic whirl
Now his "duty" is what must be done
And I've become the the lonely one
