Love her

Love her

I stand here unknown to my enemy
But well know to their cameras
Watched, stocked and monitored
Still they know little about me
Just the knowledge I fight them keeps them watching
They fail to see my motivation
My need to keep going forward with unrelenting pressure
They know I’m coming but they don’t know

Because she told me to
As she flies over me
Glowing her light on my path
Her love guiding me on
Telling me for us I should stand
For her love I demand justice
Change is always in motion but I make it change in my favor
As she looks at me forever smiling

I fight because she loved me
She once stood right beside me
Made me strong by loving my tremble
Making me strong when I weaken
My queen my lady my moonlight NOW my mission
To live up to her belief in me keeps me moving
For her and our people I demand our rights
Search for the truth
Fearlessly running my mouth
No longer fearing death because my love waits for me over head

I talk to her twice a day
Sleep with her through the night
Honor her in every way
Since she was here everything was all right
Though she’s gone I carry her love into battle
Vocally firing off rounds loud enough for our heaven to hear it
I gave them my reason for continue the war
Now they can look over there shoulders
Because thanks to her love I climb the walls

I am never sure when you refer to "her" if it is metaphorical or literal, but either way, I love your love for women portrayed in every poem you write

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Both really, less than a year ago (A year the end of next month) I lost my wife.

I now write and continue to do the things I do because that's what she wanted. Some times it's easier to be metaphoric because the literal will always be painful.

That ladies and gentleman is exactly how you love an Afrikan woman, Excellent work my God/Brother, that made me all warm and fuzzy, and I am straight! Afrikan women can inspire the fire of love like this the brothers need to stop acting like punks and just accept their love for us!!!
