A Brand New Day

A brand new day.
A brand new hope.
A brand new love that fills my cup.
The days of glory are ahead.

Peering into the future
With a salute of respect,
And sincere gratitude,
To cherish what’s to come.

A brand new inspiration.
A brand new way.
A brand new road that I shall take.
An untraveled road for writing untold stories.

In time, I’ll look back on the past,
With a salute of respect.
With admiration in heart,
Of the history you’ve made,
And the history I will work hard to preserve.

Dedicated To The Love Of My Life

I love your days and nights.
Your savoir faire.
Your very air
That fills me with life.

Street life.
Hustle and bustle.
Posterior moves
With every beat of the drums.

Sweet Apollo.
I miss your beautiful face.
Showman’s has me jazzed
As I relish from the high on 110th and Lenox.

History that can’t be overlooked.
Corner to corner pride’s
Got me hooked
On your love that I need.

Feed my soul
With every inch.
With every mile.

You gave it to me easy and rough.
You made me lose control.
Don’t know why I left you,
Because Harlem, I love you so.
