Download or read book Black Rose written by Marquita Q. Leary and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Black Rose" is a very sentimental and lovely poem collection, giving facts about life and lifestyles for younger and older African-Americans.For years, I thought that being African-American was a curse…I lost respect for who I was - inside and out. I wanted to be like the majority, which was the in-crowd. I lost sight of who I was and where I belonged. Many young African-Americans are afraid to be themselves. They always have to impress someone else daily, but not themselves. I tend to think that society believes that we are very weak; however, every poem presented in this book definitely defines who we really are. We are more than what society portrays us to be. If you will believe in yourself, I will believe in me.Whether it's poverty, adversity, successes, hopes, or dreams to reminisce about, the truth is behind the closed doors of African-American families and those acquainted with trying to oversee their lives. What this represents in the present is a great commitment to so many, who, as our ancestors, have provided strength, ability and change for African-Americans. No one is as perfect as our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As all of his children, no matter what ethnicity we are, we need to all come together as one body as brothers and sisters in Him. “A Rose is a very delicate flower and to be without such a lovely and fervent object of life, you will die if such life is taken away from you. However, when each pedal starts to darken and become black, pedal after pedal may fall, but the life within it will live forever...”

Download or read book Black Rose written by Kennard Gregg and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girls Girls to me, are like honey to a bee. Sweet, natural, and pretty to see. Theyre like water, with its strange dimensions with a body that when it moves, demands your attention. So dont be shy. Or turn your head astray. Because its the better part of you. So dont give it away. And the next time you approach her. Be sure to let her know Just how much you love her And will never let her go. So be firm with your judgment. And sturdy with your stand. For the many times you tell her. She may not understand. So lady if your listening. Dont make no snap decisions. And even if you turn me down. Its just my life I am living. R espect Life equals love, and without respect There is no love And love is The giving of oneself In the ultimate game of foreplay And being able to accept this experience as true knowledge And love is accepting responsibility Hold heartedly, without question or doubt And the answer to our greatest question is if ifs and ans were pots and pans The world would be a kitchen I didnt I did not come into your home to disturb the peace of your surroundings and if theres one so bold and unaware that he is alone Well... he should have tore up his invite, and stayed his ass at home You see the invitation was for those with means A gentleman quite courteous to the extreme With words that are clever quite witty with charm Which pose no threat or need to be alarmed I am looking I am looking for a woman A woman with a sense of humor A woman with common sense A woman I can depend on when I havent gotten the rent A woman I can believe in A woman I can trust A woman that says baby aint nothing too great for us A woman thats in my corner A woman that know I care A woman thats always patient and aint getting in my hair A woman thats healthy A woman thats strong A woman that know when I am leaving I wont be gone for long Freedom I want to be free. Free to do as I please. But nobodys saying youre going to live at ease. You see free is one thing and dome is another. Free-dom. Free-dom. Freedom. Really being free is when you leave this place. You see you left all the problems of having to contend With people from another race, another place, another time. Trying to put their way of thinking on your mind. Never no lovin. Just wanting to be okay. Freedom should let these people know That even a dog has a day And as for me I just want to be free I wish I didnt have to work another day For this money thats so badly needed. But bills come and take it all away. And as for me I want to be free I am tired of making people laugh, sing, run around Looking at me like a some kind of a clown I just want to be free So tell me What does it mean to be free And in turn, to see is to be And what does it mean To be, to be and not to be free T he Lord dont let you cry Its hard for me to find the word I want to say to you Im sorry that I left you But now I know the love we shared was true It hurts for me to realize That I carried on that way And if I could Id say Im sorry Each and every day Youve inspired me pretty much To be what I am today, and now I know with love like that You just dont give it away Why couldnt I realize What it was I had You see trying to live Without true love Can drive a person mad But Im glad Not mad at what I had But the way things fell apart Makes me feel so sad Im glad to have met a person where as most men never find You may think me stupid But I always knew that you were mine I hope lifes being good to you What else can I say Youve left an impression in my heart Until this very day So lets leave it as is I dont want to die How was I suppose to know With love The Lord dont let you cry T he American Dream I want to be free As free as an eagle flying high above the hills or as free as a buffalo grazing in the fields as free as a rabbit hopping through the grass

Book excerpt: This silken haired, kohl-eyed gazelle that haunts these pages. Where has she risen from? A dark fire of lost desire smoldering in half-remembered dreams, she laughs as light as star dust reflected in moonlight. Lithesome and lean, she dances just beyond my grasp. Kris Haggblom, author of Broken Time Machine, returns with a beguiling poem of desire and loss. The Black Rose recounts a quest for a [perhaps imagined] lost love - a dream dancing at the edge of perception; a lyric quest for closure, searching for the roots of desire in a desert of lost memories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First of the BLACKROSE series of books: S'Roya Rose herself a Priestess of the Goddess, lifts the lid and does it again with this fabulous book, exposing the Goddess as a presence ... Not a new age ideal or a force! For far too long the true essence of the Goddess has been suppressed, not allowed, made to feel wrong, covered up and even banished. Even today there are those who feel quite threatened by women in their true power, especially when they are unable to be controlled or made submissive to other's needs. Bringing equality into our society for women has certainly had its struggles. Unfortunately even though it has improved over the centuries and especially the last 50 years, it is still by no means equal. Forsaken dignity and ignored divinity has now developed into insecurity and alienation within many women. Loss of the divine Goddess has created a baron wasteland full of impoverished feminine spirit. S'Roya's passion shines a light in the darkness empowering the Sacred Feminine to rise up again.
