YOU the Emotional Black Man

YOU the Emotional Black Man

For you the Emotional Black Man

Cherished.

I looked for the tears you cried for your mother
when she passed away
Your tears said you love her.

When you felt a sorrow I saw you grit with pearly teeth
and the swallow of your Adam's Apple
fought back the pain in your throat.
I held my breath to breath in timing.

Amazingly your frowns are few...you'd rather smile
laugh, giggle and touch
tenderly
softly
emotional black man.

You have hands that are fists of love..
they work in kindness of the soils
stirring up the air of feelings.

Stored.

Your thoughts bury a beauty flower seed.
They grow inside you and spread out in wings of vines
that curl around you making you a tree.
Leaves of
temperance,
radiance,
balanced.

IN COLOR.

YOU the Emotional Black Man.

I long for thee.
My love...
--MIISRAEL

I did it safely..You know guys they try to hide emotions quite a bit. Thought I'd see how they feel with showing some emotions...

Hey...I'm not that old! LOL!

Hello Cynthia...Perhaps this soothing poem can relax you a litte. Get some rest tonight.

I AM always on... Still have some studying to do.... I have a four day mini vacation starting Friday ... I will rest then..... The poem is very calming....
Why are men leary of showing their emotional side????
