    ENDURING LOVE

    Horace Greeley once said, "Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character." With all due respect to Mr. Greeley, I'm going to chop and screw that quote like this...

    FAME IS A VAPOR, POPULARITY AN ACCIDENT,

    AND RICHES TAKE WINGS,

    I DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS,

    AS LONG AS I HAVE YOUR ENDURING LOVE

    Let me go deeper and deeper baby,

     

    When the rain calls my name

    and I respond with yours,

    I'll know I'm prepared

    to receive my just rewards

    for the sacred rain falls only on justice

    not just us all,

    when Kingdom comes, we'll be on the run,

    our laughter echoing through Kingdom's Hall

     

    If I could hold back the stars

    and restrain Orion,

    could we chill in the Garden of Eden

    with Judah's Lion,

    the sequence of our seasons

    will be marked by celestial satellites,

    for at the altar of your love

    I'm merely an acolyte

     

    Why do some contemplate frivolous things

    while ignoring the laws of the universe,

    don't they know an everlasting love like ours

    can't be rehearsed

    I know I can't shout to the clouds

    and make it rain,

    but I can make love to you

    until our bedframe's structural integrity can't be maintained

     

    Let me chop and screw this,

    FAME IS A VAPOR, POPLULARITY AN ACCIDENT

    AND RICHES TAKE WINGS,

    I DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS,

    AS LONG AS I HAVE YOUR ENDURING LOVE

     

    When freedom is defined not by words but deeds,

    and the people of the Spirit don't flee

    from the Second Coming when Jesus bleeds,

    we can reach  any river of discontent

    and cross on over,

    then stop at the outer bank to praise

    the One and Only, Most Supreme Jehovah

     

    If the sun becomes so shy

    she hides behind the moon,

    I would search for your unforgettable fire

    when darkness looms,

    if you seek my embrace

    and cannot be warmed,

    then something is wrong with the earth's revolution,

    or maybe there's permafrost on the Tropic of Capricorn

     

    Why did the Supreme command

    the morning to appear?

    because he knew I would use my lips

    as the tissue to dry your tears,

    so let me cogitate and pray

    that you stalk my love like a lioness,

    I confessed my sins to the Supreme

    now I'm yours at your behest

     

    Let me chop and screw this,

    FAME IS A VAPOR, POPULARITY AN ACCIDENT

    AND RICHES TAKE WINGS,

    I DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS,

    AS LONG AS I HAVE YOUR ENDURING LOVE

     

    Time for a segue into seduction,

    Baby, breathe this,

    when the breeze,

    whispers D.Greaves,

    take a reprieve

    to retrieve,

    my heart on my sleeve,

    do to me as you please,

    maybe speak to me in Portugese,

    for you hold the keys to my prestige,

    I can hear your heart beating like the talking drum

    used by the Congolese,

    I'm on my knees,

    baby be my Mamma-San,

    let's chill, watch a movie and eat Chinese,

    slip on that kimono you received,

    from the Japanese,

    with our actions and deeds,

    you and I will reach royalty's status

    like the ancient Sundanese

    FEEL ME...

     

    When the young cry out

    to the Creator and cease their struggle,

    you and I will be among those in Haiti

    searching amidst the rubble,

    for in a world of adult madess

    and demonic deceit,

    our love bond can only be enhanced

    by listening to a saved child's heartbeat

     

    If I ever feel as if I'm nothing

    and lay my hand upon my mouth in silence,

    I know the Creator would curse the day I was born

    for ignoring our love's defiance

    because I know that your love

    is my miracle,

    absolute, no refute, emphatic,

     not dramatic but proof empirical

     

    Why can't we look at the sun

    when the breeze clears away the mourning clouds?

    because with our light within, we don't have to defend,

    you see, a love like ours is black and proud

    so baby, come with me and let's glide

    to the proper elevation,

    for the Rapture soon comes after the last chapter

    is read from the Book of Revelation

     

    Let me chop and screw this,

    FAME IS A VAPOR, POPULARITY IS AN ACCIDENT,

    RICHES TAKE WINGS,

    I DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS,

    AS LONG AS I HAVE YOUR ENDURING LOVE
