To my Unborn
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
You’ve breathed life into my veins
This is a love I’ve never felt
Happiness for the first time in my life I’m feeling
From the first heartbeat to your smile inside the womb
I know I’m yours and you are mine
Pleasant melodies dance in my head
Thinking of the future when you finally arrive
A father
Something I’m starting to comprehend
Unlike the deadbeat daddy I had
Who choked at the thought of responsibility
I will be the best
You will want for nothing you need
I pledge my life to you
Life won’t stop your heart before mine
God willing
I love you
And I can honestly say it’s true
True love I’m finally experienceing
And it’s all because of you
This is to my unborn
Olivia Jade Jefferson
I love you
Your father for life and after death

Nothing in this World
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
This lady I know is special indeed
A lady
Modeled after my own heart
Crafted by the Great Architect
God
Brought you into my heart
Destiny led me to your lips
Soft and luscious
Inviting me
Tempting me
Pleasing me
Love is what I’m talking
Now can we do the walking?
Into the distant sunset
Distant cause that’s the length of time
Time spent with you
Nothing in this world can compare
Nothing
No nothing
Nothing can compare to you
Impeded Growth
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
Desperately searching for sanity
I look within
Wondering what negativity the opposed will send my way
How they manipulate the system to impose their will
Crushing the hopes and dreams of many for their own selfish schemes
The hearts left home can’t fathom the horrors we face both foreign and domestic
Caused by selfish dictators of men
Trumping the ideas of the upcoming brood
To stick to old fashioned ways
Secret Temptations
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
Temptation is life’s biggest tease
Causing these thoughts to come as they please
I made a vow to refrain from pleasure
But these little moments are hard to ignore
The thought of your body caressing mine
But all of this will happen with time
Time
A concept I’ve pondered
Giving myself time to wonder
Is it more than just the sex
A night of passion with an ex
A heated encounter when I’m drunk
Or is all that shit just mental junk
Thoughts
Of my life having more meaning
Cause for once I’m not being demeaning
Finally learning about myself
Cause to truly love another you have to love thyself
Celibate temptations I will not bow
Cause true happiness is all I want to know
Even Me
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
Even a sinner
A sinner like me
Can see the truth in the light
I can make a stone-cold blind man see my way
Through tough times
Trials that threaten to strangle the very life I hold onto so dearly
Precariously I stand on the edge
Dearly departed I shall not be
For I have faith stronger than steel
But even steel bends and breaks
Under the strain of a broken heart
Mend me so I can fulfill my purpose
A purpose divinely bestowed upon me
Moving cool through life’s failures
Have I completely failed or secretly succeeded?
Won one of many battles before the wars won?
Even me a lowly peasant can be great
Even the broken hearted can find love
Greater than the enemies I face daily both human and other
Give me strength to move on
Bigger and better things is what I lust after
Lusting
A deadly sin that shows my determination to have what I want and need
No quick fixes
No rushing to the finish line
I’m satisfied with delayed gratification
Back to Serenity
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
In your eyes I see a calming presence
A calm that carries me throughout my day
Thoughts of you cross my mind from time to time
To relax my thoughts and settle my soul
When the day grows long and my stress levels high
You’re the medicine that cures even the deepest pain
Come to me in your time of need, you whisper
Your touch is something I need indeed
To feel that much love in the heart of another
Oh what a feeling that is to feel
I want to take hold of that feeling right now
Cause my current disposition is in a mass of shambles
Shattered dreams is all I have
Dashed hopes
Sullied visions
Screaming nightmares
Take me back in those loving arms
Take me back to you
Face in the Sand
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
One day while minding my own, I look down at the sand and a face appeared
Distinctive and personal this face was
But with a blow of the wind the face disappeared
Leaving me alone and deep in thought
As I sat there suffering from my loneliness another face appeared
Totally different from the other
Yawning to break free of its earthly prison
Changing faces with the turn of time
Mirroring the ways of life
As time goes so does the impression u leave in this world
However deep that impression
Makes it that much harder for time to blow it away
Before my Demise
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
I wanna love and be loved like never before
To toss my problems right out the door
To stand in the shadow of greatness
Or to feel the touch of a sweet caress
Before my demise I’d love to just watch the sky
And feel the raindrops as God cries
To stand at the mountaintop to observe and reflect
Or be among friends and not feel neglect
Yes, before my demise I wish life to be grand
Like an activist feels after taking a stand
A sense of accomplishment is what I seek
But I know I haven’t even reached my peak
There are many roads to travel
Many miles to drive
Many tears to shed
Many smiles to smile
Before my demise
Stolen from Happiness
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
I’ve lost inspiration sitting in these drab hills
Sun baked mountains void of life
Here I sit to rest a spell, before I maybe sweat my last sweat
My mind is a maze of confusion and ideas
Too jumbled to write this short little tale
My mind is tired, my body weary
Sick of jive bullshit and blatant ignorance
If I could fathom a better time
Beyond these dry and dusty trails
Where I’d lay my head upon the softest feather
To breathe the breath of a distant loved one
Or just be in a familiar and comforting place
But the powers that be impede on my happiness
Stripping from me my link to the outside
I am cut from the cusp of reality
Stolen from happiness
My Pen Bleeds
By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.
The last breath of love dribbles from my pen
Words of emotion
Stories of trust
The life blood of civilizations history with every stroke of my pen
My pen bleeds the emotional stains that we as men have created
Each passionate stroke creates emotions buried deep inside
Emotions we never thought we’d share
Tales of despair and heartbreak
Stories of joy and happiness
Each word given a heartbeat to live within you
My pen bleeds life on this blank canvas
Given life to the dead recesses of the mind
If other pens would bleed as mine has
Diversity and understanding would trump politics and hatred
This pen bleeds togetherness
Their pen bleeds understanding
Our pen bleeds words that are read and felt
My pen bleeds me
