Knight of the Night

----------------------------------
Matters of the Heart

‘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...

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

Matters of the Heart

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

‘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!

Terry Reese © 

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

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...)

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...

Love Letter II by Arnold Hinton

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!’
