I had a talk with Adam, and he told me:

when you choose a woman,
make sure
she is stronger than a serpent,
and stronger than a fruit,
for if she is not,
she is not your woman.

happen to good people
because sometimes,

what if religions
are languages,
in which believers, spiritually,
speak differently
but are literally
saying the same thing?
and what if God,
is the silence,
the exhale,
and the inhale
between each word?

today I felt my heart do the harlem shake.
for me, for a moment, I thought the last woman was the end of the road.
and realized she was, when that road came to an end,
her back turned to me like the edge of a cliff,
I fell,
long enough to realize that I was in fact falling for you.
fear of falling finally conquered,
I realize roads were never meant for birds,
and every heart break, every disappointment, every failed attempt at Love, was simply God teaching me how to fly.
I thought I desired you,
only to find that I was designed for you.
Embracing you with open wings,
I have found in you,
my endless sky.

when you go through life challenges, rough points and storms with friends, you develop a bond of trust; you grow closer, and in some ways—at least in our heads—unified. You begin to depend on one another, some times even for your very survival. And often times, in time, your very identity and existence becomes seemingly dependent on their involvement in your life. And so it was too, for me. Until I was made to go through even greater, tougher, life threatening/compromising challenges, on my own. There’s something about witnessing your friends fail you; or just seeing them unable to help you; or seeing the very person(s) that got you through rough points put you through rough points; being hurt by the same hands that once helped. It’s sobering. It woke Me up. It was like running out of bullets in a shoot out. It forced me to pray; and pray harder. That was literally my last weapon, but it also turned out to be my strongest weapon. After living through the things I’ve been through, there’s not a person on this earth that can validate me. I’m above opinion. Co-sign me for your own conscience. But—tried by God and proven to be True—I’m probably one of the realest men you will meet, in this Lifetime.

I wrote this letter today,
ten days before I needed to.
Just to say things to you
That I’ll no longer be able to.

1st. Thank Yous are due:
To you
The universe
& a doomed woman’s misfortune

2nd. I Love You,
Painstakingly
Deliberately
& methodically.
It’s tempered, cultivated & ripened by doting promise.
The kind of Love I’m worthy of,
Giving & receiving w absoluteness.
Versed by few, longed for by many.

3rd. I bid for forgiveness.
From you & even more so myself.
For being fixated & disillusioned.
Paralyzed by my misunderstanding of Time,
In that it is an intangible concept.
& will never compensate for heartache
As a result I stayed stunted & left you voided.
Words are incomparable
But allow me your lifetime and mine to make it up to your heart.

Forevermore,

boomey b.

I put down the dice.
and started making decisions.

cycles
are circles
tied tightly around the hands of time.
history isn’t repeating itself,
we are often simply walking in circles.
and lately I’ve been breaking negative cycles.
so much that it makes me wonder
if emancipated slaves ever got home sick;
or ever felt homeless;
or if stepping off of the plantation felt like stepping out of bounds.
afraid to bleed,
day-dreaming nightmares of blood hounds;
what was more frightening?
going back?
or going forward?
as if trying to protect your life wasn’t enough,
now you must protect your freedom.
.
and what would happen if birds were afraid of falling?

-Jaime Lee Lewis

All things, with the exception of Nature, are powerless without our authority. People, Places, and Things exist on their own but function on the power they are each given from others (as in people, and animals even). To live under the will of someone/something else’s power you must first agree. Life is a reflection of balance so, when you perceive a man to be stronger than you, what you really perceive is yourself to be weaker than him. And in truth he is only stronger than you because you have literally given him your power; he is functioning off of your power. The same applies to words, before you can learn words you must first authorize and agree to their meaning; if you do not attach meaning to letters or sounds, they will not be memorized, and they will be powerless when spoken to you. You can even apply this to places. This reveals why most interaction in society is a series of convincing; from architecture, to attire; because without each other’s authority, we are all powerless.
