Don't Talk... Just listen... GB Interview 89.3 FM








     If you enjoy this blog from time to time but have never seen or heard me perform the spoken word, you have an opportunity to do so... I will be talking to MS Dia, a radio personality for Atlanta's radio station 89.3 FM WRFG at 12:30am (EST) Tonight. We will be talking about "The Revenge of Romance" (A conversation about love) Which is the theme of an up coming show... (Saturday) as well as a the theme for a chapter in the book "Intimate Rivalz" & a poem on this very blog... There is an absence of love in today's world & there also seems to be a relentless attack on romance as well. The concept of Romance personified taking "Revenge" into his or her own hands will be discussed at length. Poetically of course...

If your a late night person on the east coast, an evening person on the west or one of the followers of this blog outside of the US (Shout out to Canada & Australia, I have readers out there too) you may listen on line by clicking here: HOW TO LISTEN

#AnEmotionalAffair - #IntimateRivalz Book Synopsis

     

     A professional woman meets a man of the street through a common artistic thread. He appreciates her love for women, and she appreciates his willingness to explore polygamy. They are lovers and they are enemies. They are business rivals and they are collaborative artists. They are strangers and they are soul mates. This is no ordinary love scribbled with lustful ink on satin paper. Their love is written with the milk of the galaxy, staining the darkness with blotches of sunlight from great stars afar. This is the only way to explain such a romantic ordainment. A series of four books, with every genre changing from the first to the last, is the only way to tell such a story. Its halftime, and the most ambitious tale of romance ever told, triumphantly reaches a poetic milestone. This is two books of four and the first half of the legacy between Amber Love Smith and Anthone “Graffiti" Bleu. This is suspense and eroticism, drama and philosophy, lifestyles and life choices, temptations and revelations. 


- This is my life personified.

"Come Back 2 Me" Guest Blog by Collective member: "Poet"



Collective Member "Poet"
Come Back to Me



I am blessed for sure...

Just for the time you gave,

but to have loved you, only to lose you,

leaves me in the stages of a slave.

I'm forced to do things now that I don't want to do.

I'm forced to live out the remains of my life,

mind trippin' cause there's no you.

When I had you to myself, I didn't want to keep you.

If I did I would have never pulled my respect from underneath you.

I've done more harm than I could've possibly done good.

Now I'm stuck with just a buck saying

"If I could, then I would"

I wish I had the chance to do the forgive me dance for you.

They say when a woman's feelings are gone that there's nothing you can do.

Well if that's true please listen to me, for what I am about to say,

will describe the vibe of my feelings inside,

I'll beg if that will make you stay.

Please don't go for I want you to know, I was a fool, you are a jewel to me.

To love you and hold you, never to control you, is the way things will always be.

I'll provide for your outer as well as your inner, the things you will always need.

I'll carve our names in the trees, even rake our nieghbor's leaves...

If you'll say yes and come back to me...


footnote: You never know what someone has been through, less you walk a mile inside their shoes. In my younger days, I thought men and women alike were foolish for begging for forgiveness from a lost love. Until of course, I myself took love for granted. The love I took for granted came in the form of the Lord's divine grace. I was contemplating suicide on New Years day of 1996. I said a long prayer in my darkest hour and here I am today blessed and surrounded by creative thinkers much like myself. However, I had to crawl through the sewer to get here. For during this journey from 96 till now I forgot about my faith. Despite him saving my life and giving me hope, I became consumed with material wealth and the seductions of California. I found myself back in the eye of the storm, godless and without focus. Now I was the one begging for forgiveness and promising that it would never happen again. "Poet" is a talented artist and a dear friend. What you have read is not only a poem, but the lyrics to a song in which he plays all of the instruments. When I heard this song it reminded me of how easy it is to take things for granted. It also reminded me how blessed I am that second chances exist.

If you haven't seen "The Collective" perform together yet, take advantage of the opportunity the first go round...
