The Invitation
You are invited
To a life eternal
With an Everlasting King.
You need not a thing,
But to accept Him,
Into your life
Just let Him in TODAY!
You need nothing else
But be willing to except
The Invitation
To let Him into your heart
Just let Him today!

Unlimited Love
I am but one voice,
One voice out of millions,
But I have no choice,
No choice in the matter
As my thoughts are scattered
Spread out into the universe.
I am but one soul,
A soul with love,
Unlimited and never grows old.
Priceless and precious,
Like a diamond or gold
A love that's unlimited.
I am God's child,
A precious soul born with purpose
Born to share love
Unlimited love.
I am but one voice
One voice out of millions......

poem: untitled
to my wife Vanessa A. Jenkins
Sweet as honey
That's what you are to me
And even more than words to say
To have you near every night and day
That's the way I feel about you.
My world so close to me
My sweetness so lovely
That's what you are
To me no matter how near or far
That's the way I feel about you.
Love has come our way together
Because that's the way i feel about you...

Blue Poetry Blues
Am I blue?
Blues in my soul
Carrying the weight of every burden
Of every man and it ain't no good blues.
My man ain't no good 'cause he stank blues,
My baby left me for another and broke my heart blues,
My baby left me and now she's trippin' blues.
My job is DOWNSIZING and i need another job blues,
I am so broke until I can't pay attention blues.
Bluer than blue than blue is blue blues.
The plain 'ole pissed me off blues!
The opening of a can of whip ass blues!
Another one those days blues!
The AH Hell NO blues!
The don't wanna hear JACK blues!
Blues
Blues
Go away!
Come back another bluesy day!
Rain falls from up above
But look
I am still blue.
Am I blue?
Blues in my soul
Carrying the weight of every burden
Of every man and it ain't no good blues
No good blues at all...

If I can touch the sky,
The clouds so lovely and white
So far up and out of sight
In the blue up in the sky.
Beyond where any place to be
Or any ocean below,
Yes just under the deep blue sea
Up in the sky in the blue.
Majestic is the lovely air,
With soft white clouds lovely
In flight upward I don't care
To come down right now.
What a lovely sight to see
Upward in the blue
Flying high and free
Somewhere up there in the blue..
With soft white clouds lovely
In flight upward I don't care
To come down right now.
What a lovely sight to see
Upward in the blue
Flying high and free
Somewhere up there in the blue..
Just because you are young
Doesn’t mean much to some
But because you are black
It means nothing!
Somebody killed another child!
Somebody murdered another child!
Why are questions unanswered
Challenges unchallenged
Lives taken away
And hopes seem like it’s gone.
The Joshua Generation depleted
A future uncertain unless—
Yes unless we arise and say
Enough is enough!
When are we going to stop
Violently killing our youth?
Sending lambs to slaughter
A nation that study war
Can’t stop young men
From dying on our streets.
Why in the hell is this so? RIP Trayvon 2013
Look Westward
In memory of President Ronald ReaganLook westward young man
To where dreams are filled
from this distant land
Look westward and don't look back!
Look westward my friend,
To the place we can fulfill
Those dreams and where dreams never end,
Just look westward and don't look back!
Look westward young one,
To where dreams are part of you
And in your heart it has just begun
Look westward and don't look back!
No matter your dreams of what you dream,
Look westward and don't look back!
Look ahead no matter what it looks or seems
Don't look back but westward!

Queen of Our Heart
In loving memory of QUEEN YOUNG MURRAY (1921-2005)
In case we didn't say it,
or express it enough to let you know,
You will be with us always,
And on our faces it does show
How we feel from heart and soul
You are the Queen of our heart.
For all you have done for us
Many thanks aren't enough to say.
For the many words expressed to us
And those funny and strange ways
But we love you for it because
You are the Queen of our Heart
Gone but not forgotten
A grandmother's love so very true.
Forever in our hearts and minds
You've been there no matter
What we've gone through.
But we love you always
Forever the Queen of our heart.

****
A Strange Light
Clouds gather together
Like a congregation gathers
Bunched together like it's one.
Then soon rumbling
In the skies like it's warming us
Or telling us to cease all things
And let the Lord do His mighty work.
Now here comes the flash
Flash of light
Streaking across the skies
Like a runner
Running fast.
The winds make the trees bow
The seas roll
And then suddenly
All is quiet- -
With the rain stop
The winds are calm now
The flash of light rest
And now there's calm.
A strange light
From the horizon
Peaks out where seas meet the skies
And finally
A rainbow with it's colors of bright
Reminding us of God's grace and mercy.

late night...
Of Time and Space
Beyond the port holds of time.....
Are the elements of which God holds in His hand
Time that is uncertain
Space that holds no ending
Like time is standing
Still.
The Lord measures not time
For to Him it's a lifetime
And a lifetime to God is void and useless
Are what they are
Still.
In God's hand
We are standing in CONTINUOUS motion,
Around and around
In many movements
Of time.
