Today is the now time to do things

So you are putting off doing something that you should or not doing your best for the people you say you love then, absorb this. If you need to even just love you then today is that day and because if the right reason why.

I just Could

I could have loved you more!

I could have done things a little better,

Come home and be more joyful, and a kiss of passion, a soft touch so sinful,

Let’s not wait, until you are gone, - - - the time is now!

The moment waits for no one,

To strike the match and then wait for the fire is not living,

But to have the candles lit and make the flames go higher, burn brighter;

I could consider this.

The chair sits there and tells no lies, - - - it does not speak,

And when you sit in it, to you it comes alive, it hugs you,

And tells you stories, something like a la la-by, you listen all too well and it caresses your mind, you may either sleep, Think, or read, he did its best,

No regrets!

No not I, - - - I just could have held you that way too,

Whenever you reached for me!

I could do and do and do,

So let me hold the light and dim it if it becomes too bright, maybe brush the tears from your eye, - - - I just could,

I just could be all that and more,

Be there to see you through a bad day, chase the clouds and be the sunshine in some sweet way;

The way I see it I have a choice to be or not to be,

And with just half a chance I can be, if given just the chance.

Time goes and never responds to your beckon call,

So use it well I have heard it said, now that we are both here right here and now,

I will no longer say I just could,

Or would or will, I just do and do and do, - - -forget I just could that is no good.

Listening the first part of love

Listening the first part of love

There are times that I have been look at as a person with great compassion, love and understanding from all walks of life both men and women, and I have had to sit back and think on what has just been said about me.       I have had the falls that pride walks before, and today I make sure that my steps are carefully thought out, but I am not perfect (I know that is silly of me to say lol J) But really this is how I have to carry myself or I will fall trap to that bad devise pride and fall again as do other men of power and great likeability.                       To get back to what want to convey to you, the things that I have found which makes me appealing to others is not smoke and mirrors or tricks; it is real as the sun in the sky.

The thing that I had to learn was very hard but not always experiencing the hurt and pain all by myself as some people do.  We can look at the old saying that experience being the greatest teacher, and find the truth in it; but the coiner of that famous saying or phrase left out one important thing, that is the last part of that saying which makes it complete.                 It goes like this and I quote myself, “Experience is the best teacher, “But”! you don’t have to experience it on your own, use the experiences of others and also the wisdom of those who have experienced life’s tragedies as teachers of things to be experienced”.  Now you will find that I try not to quote others, not to mean that I have not learned from others and their experiences, but I would prefer to place things in the way that I understand them, maybe someone can relate to my words as well, I do believe that we all can become the great teachers of experience’s voice and help to guide one another have a more meaningful life.

Now to tell you about one thing that I have learned in life and that is a small thing about love, it can make the difference in how people look at you, with respect or with contempt.       How? It is very simple; the way we treat one another can make one respect us or even see us as beautiful or ugly.            I am not in any way an ugly man (my opinion) but have had struggled with acceptance in groups such as with men and not so much with women, but I have found that being around women I have learned empathy in a big way.      I call it “learning how to listen” (not solve problems as most people think, but just listen, hear the other person and say yes I understand!) It is a learned skill, an Art if you will something to be desired for all people and sex.        I like it, it is now part of me but I have also found that it is only a part of the big picture of the act of “Love”, and cannot be rushed and it takes time to acquire the Art; Love is huge, and we all are made with love and of love and to be loved; we have the great potential to become love, but we first have to listen.    We all can be called beautiful because of love but it is a process that starts with listening with a loving heart.            Please go and experience Love, in the hurt it can bring, in the joy, the passion that we can find in it and all the of the ins and outs of love but do start with becoming a good listener, the key is to listen with your heart not your mind.          Funny thing is that we will find out that God our creator listens to our hearts, not our minds or even our actions, it is from the heart that wickedness comes and becomes an action, and it is also from the heart comes true Love and compassion and Joy which also becomes our actions as well.             I believe that if we can cure the heart of the wicked things, then we will see the truth of the love that we are made in and the love that can be attained which lays dormant in the dept of our hearts, it is a gene that we all are born with. Please read The Proverbs of the Bible and listen with the heart you will be guided to learn from David and Solomon great Kings of Israel.  

Here is a poem as a gift to enjoy and pass along to someone you Love.

“I was made to love you”!

I was made to Love you,

Made and fashioned in the great Image of Love - - - (God)!

Made to look at you as a perfect and most beautiful act of “Love”,

You! - - - also created because of “love” and to be loved!

I have fallen into that “love” which explains me and just who I am;

I was defiantly made to “Love” you!

I know that now, - - - but did not while in my youth,

My purpose has come full circle, to end up Loving you, - - -

Just the “Truth”!

I thought that in loving you,

I would not be free!

Ha, - - -

Loving you is Liberating!

I now know how the Eagles feel on currents of hot air,

It is the hot breath of “God” that keeps them there, - - - It is His design,

Creator of mankind!

And when I love like the way God has taught me to,

I find that I am propelled, slingshot into a world outside myself, - - -and I am free,

And the world seeks to touch me, they want to know me?

To know me? - - - the world wants to hold me? - - -

And it calls me beautiful? - - - it calls me heart felt,

It calls me “Love”, sweet;

These are words I never heard before describing (me)! Words I have been fighting for to hear said;

My “War” is now over, I have won my battle to find freedom,

I may not be liked by everyone (jealousy) but - - - I am respected!

I am not over prideful, but I am now aware of my purpose,

I can now do what comes naturally to me,

Because I found worth! - - -

“I was made to Love you”!

Takinf Baby Steps in the New year

Baby steps to a desired existence.

            It can be real puzzling to look forward and try to tell what would be acceptable in each society tomorrow, but we can see what it was like and then we can graph our progress if any?                I do think that the question if asked would be answered differently by the same people but at different times every time it is asked. One can wonder and maybe if we stay on the task of wondering what is the difference in the mind set and the hearts of people today and yesterday when you look at a child who is of mixed cultures or races.  Do we still look at them as wrong or keep that eerie look in your eye but say the politically correct thing? Or are they really the wave of the future and widely accepted and now ingrained into our social net work?    Things to ponder I think but I can only say that we have so much to learn and over come as a human race, yes there are still the hidden relics of racism and inequality.    I am a man may I say more? Should I have to say more and does it really matter that I am mixed and have as much a deep white heritage as I do black, I am a fairly intelligent man, I know some Spanish, French, and some words in other languages as well, I listen to the classical music, as well as Jazz, Gospel, Country Western, Rockabilly Blues, and some regular Blues, I know of Rap and the history of it.    There are things I am educated in such as combustion automotive mechanic, electrical and electronic repair; I had training in health and nutrition and Personal Training, I am for the most part a Rogue Scholar but have acquired certificates and course completions from a collage or two.      I would like to take the time to plead with you to open the way for the human race, to put it as we would say politically correct; for people of all races and mixtures.   But once again it will mean that we keep on taking those baby steps, which we have so long so forgotten to continue taking after all these years.    It is going to hurt like before but it will be good for all of us I know I am still taking baby steps in my own life to accept others who are not like me.     

Here is one of my gifts a Poem I had Published just lately.

THE OPEN BOOK

By Guy T Woods Sr

A New Years Resolution

Today like any other day I opened my books of life and started to read,

I read each and every word,

And then I read it all aloud, then quietly I just read to myself;

I heard the words of great men sing,

Their echoes, they are teaching me life's amazing things,

And when I used them on myself I found it bitter in my heart,

But good to see it made such a change me!

So now I see the lesson learned,

To change the man it may seem at first like a living hell,

The bitterness of the truth about the real you!

The hard cold fact of just what you have to do;

But there will be growth I am sure of that!

In time it will somehow show then you will be well,

And there is proof take a good look at me,

I am not the man I use to be, I have since then grown,

Now what do you see?

I think I have turned into a prince.

I promise you my friends, this year I will do better than that,

I will become real love; God will make sure of that!

So in this year please follow through,

Complete all the things you set out to do,

The first step is hard, and there will be bumps,

Suck it up these things are good for you.

Following The love (A love Story Unfolds)

To know you is to breathe
dedicated to both mother and Daughter.

www.breshacoffee.com/SkinnyGuy

 

To breathe is to know you

To breathe is know you, the inside and out,

To give of me, the deepest part of my love!

To kiss and saver your flavor a sweet blessing, a gift from above;

An enchantment that only the wise can see, and appreciate this dream before me that somehow came true!

That is to breathe,

To breathe is to peruse life then stop at you,

And exhale for the first time;

That! my dear is to breathe!

To breathe is not just expiring air from day to day,

But to feel the urge to give till all of me is exhausted,

Then my mind says I can give more, so hold me,

Then I may give the rest of my life away.

To breathe is not just the act respiration but the out of body experience,

That I get when I am with you.

The dream fulfilled, that in all consciousness I had never known it would be you?

To reap a harvest I never planted, to now live a life I had never planned for,

To see through windows and touch real manifestations of my future that has not yet come.

To breathe is you, and to know you, and to have you and on and on;

To breathe is to bring to life the dormant faction of life and having them harmoniously dance before me but you setting the tone;

You bring these things into my mind’s eye as to complete me,

You set me in worlds that make me cry, laugh and the emotions makes me ask why?

You still my heart to feed on such compassion that I am playable to love in every way that love can twist,

To breathe is to know you, in the simplest term.
