"Ghetto whores, like Soleil, physically are staggering beauties. Men have to train themselves to see into women's eyes. Therein lies truths, contradictions and the indicators of darkness...That won't happen. Two whores copulating disagree on honesty, and their perceptions of life are linked, and indicative of worth. Devalued one whore cannot see the value of the other whore." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

You Can't Live Without Belief!

Poetry of Sight and Impression.

in shadow a black woman's pensive gentleness.

" There's a light in me that never goes away. Shining
Even in the dark,
And like a hand gets me. It's memory, that
Always reminds me
That it's time to be happy." ~ Tatiana Andena

Mysterious tells its own story!

Beyoncé Knowles is beyond lovely and fine on a yacht in Ibiza, Spain, September 2, 2013! Visually, that was a memorable day!!

Nothing is as sexy as the mother of your child after giving birth. That has been my experience each time and for the years to come, as the child gets closer to higher grades in school, the appeal grows. Many fathers feel like that. The esteem of many mothers struggles with their husband's lust for them, but the lust and longing for a pregnant wife is as strong as her resistance and is no small pressure on his loins. Well, after birth the longing for her six weeks to be done with can become unbearable! The women's draw is so strong and so powerful it is hard to describe and impossible to resist for long periods of time!

Women's perception of their bodies is not a kindred feeling to the husband's lust for her, and need for entering inside the body of forces that ties us to them, their souls, their essence and their bodies. This is no mystery to not respect. The misunderstanding of why this tugging in a husband's loins is essential connects responsibility with joy, with play in the intelligent design of family ties that hold worlds together between man, woman and child!

There is a lot of unnecessary baggage for a country like ours to react to honestly. Honesty, when it was a commodity to a much higher degree than now, governed better minds, and more developed emotions than who is president now! Presidents reflect the nation's soul, its needs and yearnings. What Trump is telling the nation is directed inward. The problem with that is simple: Americans are not reflective; therefore not introspective, nor is it part of the cultural ideal to be perceived thus. This amount of loss of soul is detrimental to a nation's health, but we are a nation who believes deeply in its myths; preferring death to enlightenment, taking more than giving themselves to the truths of what holds us in bondage! - Gregory E.

What 'They' Say is True!

Jazsmin Lewis attending premiere of Jackson 5 Dynasty.

Black women have to show up in excellent dress with impeccable manners and sharp intellects poised to engage. Traditionally, it is what Black American mother's taught daughters. This is the high end of expectation. Being poor, or rich has the same requirements of expectation in the Black American system of belief and social conduct. Being ghetto is a recent undevelopment!

A Black woman of this calibre is bred for the success of appeal. What else she is prepared for is her mystery. Understanding that is a basis for thought, and conversation. . ." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
