‘Knight of the Night’

My Queen by Kolongi

When I first laid eyes on you

I use to pretend..

I’m that loyal

‘Knight of the Night’

Who appears at your bedside

Night after night

Ready

Willing and able

To serve thee…

Your mind, body, and soul

I’ll feed

Until you’ve had your fill.

When you welcomed me

Into your world as a friend

I use to pretend…

I’m that

‘Knight of the Night’

Who

While you slept

Crept

Into your dreams

To sweep

You off  your feet

As we took flight

Into a night

Filled with wondrous play

Two minds..

Two bodies..

Intertwined

In the cravings of…

Sexual healin’.

When we went on

our first date

I knew

this didn’t have to be pretend…

I am your

‘Knight of the Night’

Who waits

On bending knee

Your every wish…

For it is my command…

“How can I serve thee?”

When the day comes

That I take your hand in marriage

I’ll no longer pretend…

This journey through thought

Will never end…

And I’ll forever be

Your ‘Knight of the Night’.

You have my thoughts in a whirlwind...

‘You have my thoughts in a whirlwind’

  Throwin' my hands up... Callin' attention to self

Because it is I at this very moment who's next in line

To take you by the hand for one lastin' dance...

The First Dance by Dwight Juda Ward

You see, there won’t be one winner when we both move

In unison to this groove I call ‘Love and Romance’…

We both will fall victim to this mood of the sweet melody

Of my heart poundin’ a tune that has us steppin’…

Swept Away by Kevin Williams

 Step, step, side to side right into a whirlwind of a lovers’ grind.

Passion-filled thoughts that fill our hearts

Our minds drift atop the highest dunes…

Dunes we’ve created from dancin’ up a storm

In the desert of our minds, a place so deserted

That it will take all the love we have

To find the pathway that leads us back to ‘Reality Way’.

When I thirst, it’ll be you that water my thoughts

And give me that fill, as we continue to do our dance

From hill top dune to hill top dune…

The sands of time of this hourglass will have no end…

You have my thoughts in a whirlwind.

It's songs like THIS that tap into the dreamer in me... I may not be

in the place I want to be, but my heart and mind knows the feeling

and the spirit of loving like THIS is ever so vibrant. 

Love how I'm made to feel when I hear this song...

Flashback: Getting over on the system...

Just a thought: Getting over on the system

About a year and half ago I got pulled over for speeding. I was going 45mph in a 25mph zone, but as the State Capitol police officer said, he was doing me a favor and dropped it down to 39mph. Lucky me, even that didn't matter because the ticket was tossed out the window before my court appearance. YES!

Rewinding back to the day that I got pulled over. I was cruising along a secondary road near a park and I wasn’t in a hurry, (which was usually when I’ve almost always gotten pulled over) I simply wasn’t aware of how fast my car was coasting along because of the downhill roll of the direction I was traveling. I actually saw the State Capitol police car but didn’t pay it a mind, why?  It was the State Capitol police and not Raleigh Police (so I’m thinking “what can he do?” Well I just found out!) Plus, I didn’t have the pedal to the medal and I felt like I was just cruising along.

As I passed the State Police vehicle I noticed it did a quick u-turn and it wasn’t registering that he was coming for me. I made it onto the blvd before I saw the lights signaling me to pull over. I did, and as I sat there waiting on the officer to approach my car I still didn’t have a clue to why I got pulled over. I went through a quick check list: tags are current, I couldn’t have been speeding because I was simply cruising along, my tail lights are fine, etc. Once he made it to the car, I handed him my information as he did the customary “Do you know why I pulled you over?”

Well, when he went back to his car to write up the ticket. I immediately made a call to a detective friend of mine who’s been a major life line for me when it comes to dealing with issues within the city limits of Raleigh, well I take that back, he actually help me get out of a ticket outside the city limits once too!

As always, I’ve been fortunate that when I’ve called him, he answered right away. I let him know my situation and he instructed me to get the officer’s attention to see if he’ll come back and speak with him on the phone. Well, I did manage to get his attention and he made his way up to the car. I let him know I had a Detective John Doe on the line and he wanted to speak to him. Not sure how all that worked as he was willing to take my phone and speak with the detective. They converse and once the call was concluded. He tells me that with the new system they have, once they type information in there is no rescinding it, and that if I had been quicker with the call to my detective friend we could have avoided the court date being set.

In the meantime, my detective friend asked that I send him a reminder a week out from court date to see if the issue could be squashed before having to go to court. I followed up as requested and the morning of my 2 pm court appointed time I get a call from my detective friend saying, “It’s done, no need to go to court and from this point on, slow you’re a$$ down you’ve used all your life lines,” he laughed and I laughed appreciatively.

Yes, I just got over on the system and don’t feel one bit bad about it, well to some degree it’s in the back of my mind that I did something wrong and I asked for help to avoid the backlash of getting a speeding ticket.

So the moral to my story, there is always a ‘think on it’ with most thoughts I share. And I like to close with the following question.

What is it you have no real issue with doing that allows you to get over on the system that’s in place, no matter the level? Now ask yourself, are you in a place to truly judge another for a behavior or chosen action that leads to having them tip toeing or straight up crossing the line of doing right by the system in place?

I think we all have our prejudged thoughts on things but until we’ve truly walk in another’s shoes. Who am I to make them an outcast and stain them as the worst to ever walk the planet on two feet?  I guess what I’m trying to say, we all are human and to our own degree of what’s right/ wrong and, or what we’ll be okay with that which allows us to get over on so many levels. My level of what allows me to get over may be a joke or a serious matter to another.

To this day, I feel relieved of the outcome from the speeding ticket, but at the same time it made me reflect on a larger scale of what is acceptable in society.

Ramblin' Wreck...

This was fun... I put my voice to work on 

trying to create a flow that's in my head as I read

the written words 

Ramblin' wreck...

Is how I'm gon' describe

this so call vibe

Of my sweet fervor-filled mind!

Because all rational thought

has gone out the window

as I look to find

the right words

to express me

to thee.

Ramblin' wreck...

Is how I'm gon' describe

this so call vibe

Of the thoughts dancin'

in my head

to a groove

that moves

my thoughts...

And put the pep

in my step.

Let's dance...

Gimmie the Night by Jerome Brown

Ramblin' wreck...

Is how I'm gon' describe

this so call vibe

Because there has been

nothing sweeter

than this melody that

ring..

ding..

dong

in my head.

The rhythm is unlike

any passion-filled song

We've danced to before.

Ramblin' wreck...

Is how I'm gon' describe

this so call vibe

Because the adrenaline rush

of your touch

Whether it was

By voice,

By hand, or

By pen to paper...

The passion your sweet presence

fills my heart and soul with...

Has made me a 'Ramblin' Wreck'.

The Beauty of You

"Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young." ~ Arthur Pinero
 This quote reflects how I feel daily, a renewing of my mind as I take part in a new day
--------------------------------------------

Matters of the Heart

--------------------------------------------

The Rose by Merryl

The beauty of you

Is seen daily by your physical attributes...

Silky smooth brown skin,

Pretty smile,

Gorgeous face,

And those heavenly sexy thighs!

The beauty of you

Is seen daily when you share yourself,

Your innermost thoughts

Your dreams

And aspirations,

Your kind

And caring heart,

Your passions,

Your great sense of humor...

The beauty of you

Is seen daily by the way you carry yourself.

The way you walk

With grace,

Confidence,

And independence.

The beauty of you

Is seen daily by the way you give of self,

Unselfish with what is yours,

Willingness to sacrifice,

To lend a helping hand,

And simply going above and beyond

What is considered appropriate when

Asked of...

To do for another.

The beauty of you

Is seen daily through your appreciation of life

And what it has to offer you,

Giving thanks to

Those that aid you

In your time of need,

Or simply just because...

No matter how big or small you show

A genuine appreciation.

The beauty of you

Is seen daily by all of the above and then some.

And I simply want you to know

I appreciate and love you for being

The incredible woman you are.

The beauty of you

Is something I look forward to daily!

---------------------------------------------------

When you've experience that above feeling, you want to do

everything you possibly can to never lose it. Well, I know that feeling of 

appreciation for someone who displayed 'beauty' from first glance of what 

it is I see visually to getting to know what makes her tick. 

I personally feel like every man who truly loves a woman need to

make it a daily renewal of expressing his appreciation for the one

who makes his heart sing...

And if I could sing... this is how I'd like to tell her... She's Beautiful!

Absolutely love the message, the flow and how it fills me with

that overwhelming desire to Sing it Out Loud!

Beautiful!

Thank You 'The Skating Place'.

On Thursday December 1, 2011 to the few who made it a purposeful journey across town to lace up the 8s for an evening session of skating for adults only, the customary welcome was followed up with the date December 17, 2011. This date will be the last day the doors will open to skate. The building was on lease and the owner has sold it. The new owner of the property will demolish the building to do something different with the land 'The Skating Place' sits on. 

Adult Night

1st Thursday when I first started skating

A little over a year ago the number of skaters who frequent 'the Place' made a dramatic drop and there was an effort made to address the issues... Well, that effort saw no changes and the few who continued to support 'the Place' made efforts to bring in new faces for fear we'd see the day come when no one will skate in a building that had a lot of floor, a great sound system, a versatile DJ, and a welcoming management team. 

And on that note, a Shout Out to DJ Kdigga, the Lovely Sherry Ann Batts, and the talented Duncan Tru Skate Pea for holding it down. I'm going to miss 'the Place', but most importantly the time spent around you 3 as well as the rest of 'The Skating Place' family (Fluid aka Junior Bounce, Brandon, Lil Rob, Tim, Chris, Reggie, Herb to name a few of the fellows, The Lovely Ladies Monique, Jackie, Candace, the new face India and the list goes on...)

Doing it for the 'Love of Skating'

We Wrote..

Word play, 

It can be a visual, moments made precious, thinking of that special someone or being responsive to something I read that inspires the desire to let the pen hit the pad, well with my bad hand writing more like letting the fingers tap away at the keyboard.

Here's a short write with a sensuous touch after I revisited 
a picture I once had in my possession some years ago titled 

'Love Letter' by Arnold Hinton.

-----------------------------------------------------------

We Wrote

Love Letter by Arnold Hinton

With each stroke

of my pen into pad

she wrote

almost in unisom,

keepin' that

grindin' sensation

of my ink deep

between her lines...

Mm Mm Mm,

The more I wrote,

the more she Strokes

my ego...

I stroke,

she strokes

and before I could totally wrap

my mind around that gap

between her thighs

I woke, to only realize

It was all but a dream,

that never materialized...

I Am Just A Knight

Ever had that feeling, that feeling of do I step out of this dream state

and make it my reality? Do I step out on faith that when I expose

these feelings that are deep within, that one person 

who captivates your soul will embrace you wholeheartedly?

The dreamer/ romantic in me absolutely love this Zhane song 

from the 1st verse on. (of course changing a word or two from him to her)

‘I am just a Knight In Your Army’

Soul Mates by WAK

When I think of us, you are my Queen,

And I your knight ‘In Shining Armour’

The first time I approached you,

I wasn’t sure how you would receive me,

For I am just one knight in your army.

As a knight, I’m bound to serve and protect

Your kingdom  with my life,

But as your Knight ‘In Shining Armour’

I would serve and protect ‘our love’

By making you my wife.

My thoughts and feelings overwhelm me,

I can’t hold back what’s in my heart.

My dearest Queen, “I come before you,

Not a your loyal servant, but as a man torn

Between my duties to serve and protect your kingdom

And my longing desires to love you as my own.

I know my love for you will be seen as a forbidden love,

But I’ve noticed you watching me from a distance

For far too long and each time our eyes meet.

Love is all in your eyes like the burning flame

Of ‘love’s fire’ at my feet.”

We can’t deny the joy it brings to our hearts

To see we’ve found love. So I ask you

To do what you feel with these feelings for…

I am just a knight in your army.

My Queen, if only for one night,

Let me be the one to treat you right.

I’m your Knight ‘In Shining Armour’

And I come to sweep you off your feet,

We’ll take flight into the night

To a place where our love can blossom.

Our hearts will be the guide as we discover

Love has no boundaries…

My Queen, though I’m just a knight in your army,

Tonight I’m your Knight ‘In Shining Armour!’

It's Okay to Dream

After hearing this song on the skate rink floor this past 

Thursday (Thanksgiving night).. It was a moment of reflection 

that had me smiling and once again dreaming... digging into

my vault of sensuous thoughts shared...

`It`s O.K. To Dream`

Afternoon Dreams II by Consuelo Gamboa

Beautiful Lady,
This morning I woke up in a panic, because I thought I had lost you forever to a dream. But then I soon realized that it`s ok to dream. You see, my dreams allow me to travel deep into my heart to a secret place that I only want to share with you. There`s no one word I can think of that can describe why or how it came to be, but you managed to soar deep into my heart where there`s no boundaries and I`m free to express me to you.

When I think about how life gives us different twists and turns, I`ve always found a way to see the good and accept the bad. In life, we all face the challenge of overcoming obstacles... so I live my life by a hurdler`s creed, "There`s no obstacle I can`t overcome!"

Beautiful lady, 

I found a way to see the good in my desires to love you, and I accept the bad that I can`t have and love you as my own. So when you cross my mind, I smile and say `thanks` for being a part of my day and at night when I lay my head on a pillow to sleep, I look forward to my next dream. Because when I dream of you, I fall `head over heels` in love all over again! Let these words serve as your reminder that you hold a special place in my thoughts and the key to my heart that allows me to Share My World with you... I`m Dreamin`... what a pretty sight you are to me.

Have you ever had that...

Shaking my head appreciatively of these 'Words'... as usual I find inspiration

from what goes in these ears of mines when it comes to music dealing with...

Matters of The Heart

Whether I can currently lay claims to loving like this or not, those feelings are with me

and I'm 'all smiles' as I reflect on 'loving like this'. I love the voice on India Arie, you 

can simply hear the beauty that resides deep inside her heart and a 

jump-shoulder bump to Anthony David for his masterful skills as well.

Have you ever had that...

In Our Solitude by John Holyfield

'Damn this feels good feeling' of

this can't be but a dream?

That one person who

seemingly without warning
crept from your dream
and made it your reality?

The thought alone

has me relivin' a moment in time...

When I've chased the dream
and made it my 'reality'.

'Damn that feels good!'

To woo the mind of

my 'dream lover'
To hold in my hand,
the key to her heart.

'Damn that feels good!'

To stand tall and flex...

To be her 'Tower of Power'
she can lean against
in her time of need.

'Damn that feels good!'

To kneel at her bedside
So ready'..
So willin'
and able
To serve whatever it is
her heart desires.

'Damn, this feels good!'

To flop back in my chair
and visualize

A moment in time

that will forever be etched

into my memories of

a 'dream kind of love'
that keeps me anticipating

our next reunion...

'Damn it feels good!'

To wake up from a dream
knowing she's lying next to me.

'

Damn, it feels good!'

To go about my day
knowing she awaits me
with open arms.

'Damn, it feels good' when...

My heart beats

to a rhythm that spells out her name...

D r E a M L o V e R!

Oh how she fuels...
my need and desire
to be touched and caressed.

She fuels...
my need and desire
to place soft kisses
all over her body
from head to toe...

Mm Mm Mm,

I love that

'Damn, it feels good' feeling

Have you ever felt that???

Well,

Like a thief in the night
let me steal a moment of your time...
long enough to share in a dream...
your dream

Driftin' by John Holyfield
