Infinite Mind Seven Allah

Infinite Mind Seven Allah was born and raised on the streets of the Bronx. He began his exploration of the world as he saw it at the young age of twelve. By the age of sixteen, he found himself serving his first prison sentence of two to six years, in which he served two and a half. After his return home, unfortunately, he still couldn’t figure out his life or the responsibilities that came along with being a better person not only for himself but also for those who cared about him. This in turn led to his second prison term. It was at this point where he realized he needed to not only channel his aggression but also reflect on his talent of writing, which has been in him ever since he could remember.

Introduction

The manner in which I am expressing myself in this book is not only simplistically, but also so very vividly; it will feel as if you were there with me when I was going through these many changes, phases, and stages of life growing up. It hasn’t been easy as you read on, but some ask me, ‘ If had the opportunity to do it all over again, would I?’ And the answer is emphatically YES! (Hell Yeah!). However, I would definitely do it in a different manner. So I ask that you follow me into the Life, Times, Hardships, and Struggles of Seven, The Real Me.

I truly hope that you enjoy reading this book of poems as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please note that pain has been my greatest motivation and love & joy has been two of many ultimate rewards. For I was not as articulate back then as I am now today, still growing. But allow me to reiterate to you, it was all well worth it. I cannot begin to express my gratitude of how fortunate I am, being able to capture these thoughts from the mind and painted them as perfectly as I perceived them.

Hopefully you can, or will be able to feel the energy of the hopes & dreams; the trials & tribulations; the ups & clowns; the hurt & pain; and the joys & the happiness through a way that I have learned how to express myself in a more conducive (Poetic) manner other that following the norms of the society I grew up in. but I have and will always remember that all of these aspects are not only make up for what is in this book, but it also makes up who I am today! Not only would I like for you to feel my pain, but also I would love for you to share my joys and rewards. For without you being the reflection of me, enabling me to see the many characteristics that both you and I possess, I would be blind to the many qualities and the many talents that lie within self.

PEACE,

Understand the change

You told me not to do what I did, but still I didn’t listen. Now I’m at a point in my life, whereas I found myself constantly wishing. That life wasn’t so hard and I ask myself am I where I supposed to be. I rejected the love you showed and all of the ones that tried to get close to me. To help me be a better man and even better concerning my ways. Because maybe you’ve seen something that l didn’t know I haven’t any more to say. Except forgive me and give me one more chance because I know that I can change. I’m tired of doing things that always seem to be wrong and gain nothing except the pain. And misery from the things I see can only lead to my own death. On that road I look for control even if it requires my last breath. What’s left? I’m not sure but I know that it is more than what I have received. I can walk through doors without the sores is what I can to believe. Because I’m tired of being wrong and hearing the same old songs that’s playing in my head. In this struggle, I look at the jungle and the bad life that I have lead. I feel the scars when I run through your yards being chased by the time. I know it is hard, but I’m guided by God, but is he just in my mind? These are things that I face every day when I know exactly who I am. I’m one in a million, building for the children because change is within my plans.

PEACE,

Baby Girl

Your skin is so very soft; I refer to you as Ms. Softy. And your complexion maybe caramel, but the taste to me is like coffee. Five feet seven inches or maybe a little more. Be there until the very end, so I will remain to be yours. Gave to you my precious heart in unfortunate circumstances. I only ask for this one time because I don’t deserve so many chances. Whoever said you can’t have your cake and eat it too, then I must call them all some liars. Because I loved the drugs, but with your love it always took me a little more higher. We’re on a different level in life; we are building on many things. And heaven must have sent you from way up above, and concealed from me your wings. You have always been there when I needed you the most, and I thank you for the blessings. For us, the future holds so many things, and I’m prepared to learn all of the lessons. In my eyes, to my surprise, you are considered to be ride or die. And in the bedroom, flames begin to spark which has me reciting, ‘My, My, My’. I’ll never come at a cold current because I love to keep you warm. And the best part of making love is in the rainy storm. Raindrops hit the sill and are combining with both of our sweat. You and l together forever, and my bottom I will surely bet. When I first seen you standing there it was solely based on mental attraction. Then you pressed the issue, I pursued the thought when I felt that it was more relaxing. Matter of fact, my words drew you to me, which in terms attracted me to your mind. I weighed it out, seen the light and then I went along with time. Thinking of your love has always put my stomach into curls. And this one special poem is only for you and it is entitled Baby-

Girl……

PEACE,

Extended Mother

I met you through a miracle that wasn’t coincidental. You’ve shown me a lot of love while we were building on my mental. I remember one bad time, but I don’t think there was another. When absentness was unfortunate, you played the role of ‘Mother’. And although there’s no out there that can really take her place. I love you just the same; you’d be in second if there was a race. I know it was kind of hard for you just to witness my conversion. From going off of impulse to being a thinking surgeon. Now I know and understand why you always held your post. You’ve always influenced this one man, at the same time, held me close. Helped me get rid of some things that were burning like some slugs. And it prevented me from opening up, so it locked down all of my love. But now I rebel against the devil as it was written in the bible. Puts me at a point where I recognize and live up to this title. The true and living God, one who’s everlasting and without a mystery. Continues on to shine on the world the way it was meant to be. At this present moment, I’m truly grateful you were there. Showing me care and much concern, and your love that is sincere. If time provides the chance, I’ll
