People often ask me about love and if I’ve ever been able to fully love without holding back. Back then my answer was always no but over the past 2 years I have been really committed, I’ve been honest, on point, dedicated, and very supportive. I have wholeheartedly fallen in love and because of that I am a better person. When I was first introduced to her, clearly I had my doubts. I didn’t like her heavy Haitian accent; I didn’t like her foul mouth, the way she would dress to certain events, I also didn’t like all the rumors that were out there about her, but I saw past that. I allowed myself to like her without passing any judgments because at the end of the day I wanted to treat her just like I would expect in return. Truth to be told, it was the best thing I could have done. Anyone who have come in contact with me know that I have never hidden my love, I often drive around town with her and people would ask me why I am with her, or why am I all up in her like that but those who question me can’t possibly understand the debt of my love. They are incapable of understanding this union, it’s a perfect marriage.
In the words of the good old book, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you”.
I meet a lot of older Haitians and they often would say, you’re such a nice guy, you seem educated, and why are you with this chick? Don’t you think she would taint your reputation? Do you honestly think she would ever be your equal? How do you introduce someone like that to your parents? I mean gosh, they would ask me all these foolish questions. Sometimes I feel so bad for her because she be right next to me when they ask all these stupid questions. But one thing they often tend to forget is that being intellectual or educated has nothing to do with love; her past isn’t my past so no it won’t taint my reputation, matter of fact, what reputation are they referring to? So how do I introduce her to my parents, well, she’s been introduced and she is well liked. My parents only reservation is that people will judge me base on who I choose to love but you know what though, I don’t really give a flying duck. Those who judge me or her are the ones who never really took the time out to really understand us. They have never taking a second to listen to her stories, her pain, her plights, her journey, and her sufferings.
I lover her and regardless of your sentiments towards her, I remain unfazed.
I love Creole Hip Hop.

*What's That Growling Noise?*
The WORD wonders. That growling noise could be his stomach. Maybe it’s the

wow, that's unconditional love right there!! great piece babe, simply beautiful. You're a great writer, your words are so vivid. All your pieces are great, but this one took the cake, i love it!i dont know if that's possible, but this is my favorite so far.

This is a real piece...we all hav lived through something similar. I can relate to this. The difference is that I should have paid attention to the comments made about my partner. It would have saved me a lot of pain, heartache, drama, and a miscarriage. It is a great thing to love someone unconditionally...but I have learned that you must have that file in your head and place into it what people tell you. It may come in handy later.
ReplyDeleteI have a question to the writer; Are you still in a relationship with this young lady? If not why? Did any of the comments, judgements made by others have anything to do with it? If you are still with her, how did you manage to block out the comments and move foward, even though you had some issues with her personality in the beginning of your relationship? Did you try to change the things you didn't like about her? Did she make herself what you wanted her to be in order to meet your expectations? For example, dress differently, changed the way she spoke, etc......
lol. The guy loves Creole Hip hop.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece, well-written. One can definitely relate this piece to an individual.
I love the suspense. You are a genious man!
-The one who owes you a phone call and shall do that manana.
We need to chat, long overdue...
Though a bit predictable, I'm feeling the style. It's not one of my favorite simply because it's not one of your best. I don’t know Kreyol Hip Hop, reading this piece did not convince me that I should.

It was only until midway into the 2nd paragraph did I begin to suspect an extended metaphor, reminiscent of Common's song...
ReplyDeleteNice piece, Poison Man!
To say that you're a genius would be an understatement.
ReplyDeleteYou really drove my mind astray on this piece. You really got me on thsi one until I saw the last line.
Kreol Hip-Hop is very lucky to be embraced with unconditional love from someone like.
That's what's Up, Lanmou San Kondisyon.
I love this piece so much that I had to comment a second time. The writing is so well put together.
ReplyDeleteI wish I were Kreyol Hip Hop.
I don't see why not?
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteThat how love should be.
