NEED TO BE NEEDED

You asked if I was emotionally ready, Yeah, I’m set
Experience has learned me “wait not just yet”
Your intensity radiates like the warm spring Sun
I’m drawn out of the cold to it for the need to be warm
My skin is dark tough and scarred from being on the run
My skin is created to repel radiating darts of the evil one
So I absorb you like the natural nutrition of this life
You bring me fortitude in full as I bring force to this fight
Continually reinforcing and strengthening me
Your wonderful love anoints and satiates me
Do you remember when my spiritual eyes first behold Ya
I was a blood stained covered battle worn soldier
We finally saw the Twin Flame streaking through this realm
We chartered the stars of the universe to guide our helm
With joy I may laugh and sadness I may cry
But like Earth Wind and Fire I keep my head toward the sky
You’ll never see me hold despair or look down
You’ll never see me give up hope or even frown
There’s not much time to keep looking back
I got a glimpse of my end before I fade to black
This is no mere premonition to a possibility
It is a vision of destiny into the light of eternity
This Brotha, this Black Man acts not emotionally
That’s just the way I was truly designed to be
Twin Flame you are more than an infinite possibility
You are specifically designed Divine purposed entity
A Spark of the Divine releasing love and longevity
I honor you in all your uniqueness complexity
African Queen Warrior got a glimpse of the African Warrior Man
But did you forget for a moment that he had a sword in his hand
I’m a free fighting foot soldier seasoned to take a stand
My flame will be snuffed out if I don’t follow my Master’s plan
My actions showed you love with every step I take
Crossings Countries at the borders not one word did I forsake
I did my own time I speak my own mind I seek my own kind
With the many lenses that are given what I seek I will find
Yes your love is a precious jewel worn in the Crown of Life Divine
Don’t forget our love is patient, enduring, and most of all kind
Need to be needed well if its alright with you
This Brotha sometimes needs to be needed to

RIGHTEOUS STONES

There was a young woman in Somalia

and the pious ones stoned her to death

is it because she had a lover who seduced her to his bed

they threw their righteous stones at her head

they condemned and murdered her for adultery

the pious hurled stones at humanity

Almighty God, where was compassion

is your love in us all but dead

I cry to the heaven above

please send down your life giving love

my eyes are crying

your people are dying

She was only twenty years old

and he just a little older

one hundred lashes was how he paid the fine

one hundred lashes ripped his back one at a time

one hundred lashes scarred his back

but nothing now will bring her back

someday his wound will heal

with scars as witness to the ordeal

I cry to the heaven above

please send down your life giving love

my heart keeps crying

your children are dying

Now there is a family in distress

they lost a new born and their Empress

you see her baby was still born

did she wish it away from harm

for how could let a new life come

where there is no place for love or home

the pious buried her half way in the ground

and hurled those righteous stones at her crown

I cry to the heaven above

please send down your life giving love

my mind keeps crying

your children are dying

There was a young woman in Somalia

where love could not protect her

encircled by undecipherable opaque dark

the pious had no light dwelling in their heart

they buried her half way in the ground

and hurled righteous stones at her crown

I cry to the heaven above

please send down your life giving love

Rubbed Her Feet

I dedicate this piece to My Queen of the North Lands Honey Blikk...

I rubbed her feet with blessed oil that had been sitting on my altar

knowing that within her life experiences she has traveled very far

as my hand stroked her feet with that fragrant holy oil

I felt the tensions of her struggles and present life toil

I rubbed the soles of her feet that had toughened with time

as her toes spread out the texture became smooth and refined

the fragrance of the oil rose up to be captured in her nose

I kept rubbing from the bottom then to the top of her toes

with gentle eyes she looked down placing her hand upon the top of my head

but I kept rubbing her soft feet and being obedient to what the Spirit had said

she is compassion and Love and gave this Love so freely to others

and she gets weary so once again God would bless His daughter

Where ever she may go I know that God will go before her and guide her feet

keep her covered and protected what ever situation or people she may meet

for her work of Love and caring is just beginning and far from done

she is enriched by His Spirit and has a great teacher in His Son

�Soul Verse 2009

HOME SLICE

I am a home slice

from the pie of life

a fine tuned, syncopated

melodic, rhythmic instrument

honed by turmoil, turbulence

tribulation, trial and strife

just try me see what I do

I am tried, tested and true

read me, study me

try to figure me out

there is no room for doubt

I am emancipated and self educated

My horizon is evolving and expanding

edified by Word, knowledge

wisdom and understanding

seasoned warrior, soldier of fortune

freedom fighter and peace maker

disciplined, trained, put to the test

sharp iron that is hard to the core

in the trenches covered in blood

veteran of diabolical wars

beat and held down in some battles

the enemy of all souls tried to slay me

God surround me reside inside

still here to fight another glorious day

I am a spark of the divine

encased into humanity

I am a friend of Love

and the enemy of hate

I am amazingly alive and already dead

darkness of death can not hold me

my unique Oness is engraved into eternity

�Gregory Roberson 2009

SOFT WORDS

Soft words are spoken

so that they enter into

our minds gently with ease

like a sweet cool summer breeze

on a hot arid day

soaked up and received

like a life giving relief

aid and assisting our being

into a calm peripheral seeing

Soft words spoken

are insatiably edible

easily digested and incredible

eagerly and gregariously consumed

entering in expanding the room

energizing the fibers of our being

light of day send darkness fleeing

instantaneously and meticulously dispersed

touching barren areas and giving birth

Soft words are spoken

in the stillness of an active mind

bring us into a realm

a place that is void of time

the past, present and future dwells

in the inner sanctum found in ourselves

©Soul Verse 2009

LATE FOR WORK

I'm stuck on the train there's a nut on the tracks

the cops are chasing him but he won't come back

i'm late for work it seems my life is wack

there's no money in my pocket so how do i get back

in the spiritual realm i'm on the ropes

with stress in my body i may not cope

but then i take a swing and then the enemy is down

you can't have my title God's given me this crown

it just don't matter i been through some stuff

most of it got me ready and made me tough

some of it prepared me and made me smart

most of all i thank God for giving me His Heart...

INNER UNIFICATION...

Your house can be divided if there is more than one single inner master that is controlling and uniting your will, desire, thought, mind, action, purpose, and energy.
