Temptation

I had planned to write a long drawn out diatribe about Terry McMillan, Oprah, and the DL....But it's been discussed to death...so..

God gave me something else to share...

"Temptation"

By: HX

If Eve

truly knew

of temptation so sweet

she would have left Adam

for the tree...

I want to be tempted to love again...but there is a vacany by my side, in my bed, in my life...I need a beautiful distraction from the grind of time...What can be done when one surpasses lonliness and inches towards indifference?

Amen...with your eyes and heart open, ready for the temptation - when it comes...it will be like a sweet dream. Hopefully it comes soon.

I have felt the same way you have felt p. alonzo...

love is very magnetic. It's like, as soon as you get pulled in, it is hard to pull it a part from you.

Especially when you felt that feeling once. But u always gravitate towards that true love again, even if u never had it, u know it is out there...

and we have to find it in the most unlikely places like adam, so we continue our journey threw the fields of dicks and azz, until some possibility that there is a rose growing out of the concrete.

This isn't just on the internet but in our daily lives as well. In the supermarket, the bookstore, the club, on the street, we may not be thinking about it, but there is some type of love magnet looking and detecting that special someone.

It's distracting because our "want" gets ahead of the rest of the things in our lives. Love is a magnet too, the stronger "your" magnet is, the stronger you grow as a person, building up your character, and becoming more intelligent, and loving, and a overall wonderful person... love zooms your way.

We have to focus on self, through God, and love will follow through.

It's a system that works for me at least.

Oh yeah great poem!

I wrote a poem about what Adam and Eve said to God after they ate from the tree...

Pathogenesis
Prisoners now to the God of penology, this perplexity is preposterous, No longer the parameter of perfection, Lost in a world of pure pandemonium. Please paternal one, what is this partition, Why pardon panic, why perpetuate pain, Was the wisdom so phenomenal, That it violated your name?

Sometimes you just have to live in the moment w/o over thinking it.

Just my thoughts...

I am with wise young man...

If I had allowed my overthinking to take over all the time, I would not enjoy the solace in my private space with the brothers I share a great time with now...

But I don't have a great expectation of anything more than emotionally involved and platonic....

I have learned to accept what GOD has deemed neccessary for me...

As always in Parting,

I came in Peace and in Peace I leave.

I so want to be in love again, but I guess I'm not in love because I have forgotten love and not for bad reasons.
