The Price Of A Dream

To live this dream was to watch intently

heart wide open,
so all who came before would know
their full measure would no longer be denied.
African and Native ancestors of my blood
could claim their tranquility
from this moment of time
when freedom in unassuming grace
embraced us all as one - 01/20/09

That Look

That look,
her look
black ribbed turtleneck
perfectly framing her body
the line of her nose
the slope of her neck
the swell of her breast
I slip
into her hug
and electrify as i drink her scent
My eyes,
resting on her back
that plump, round back
that I used to kiss
kneadding cheeks
wandering tongues
that tickle a rosebud
that I would ride
until ecstasy' release

slides into her black bomber
asking me to drop her at the sub… Continue

.IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY

I was born in 1960 to an ambitious, bright, beautiful, compassionate African-American woman. My arrival proved to be a lesson for my mother dramatizing how differently things can work out from how one may plan. My father, a young Med Intern at the hospital she worked abandoned her as soon as he made residency. With little choice under the circumstances she bore her shame and turned to her parents. Leading to my being raised by my grandparents not my mother. Not such a bad deal since they managed… Continue

Hello Afrontive: I am doing well and staying far away from hell.
I am praying and hoping for the best, not for myself alone, but you and everyone else.
I purchased a book from one of my Network friend - Vernelle Nelson, she is on My Page. The old saying goes - "good things come in small parcel." Her little book isnamed Favorable Conditions and worthwhile reading. It's very informative. Great stories.

Catch you on the next link.

Love

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
