THE LIGHT WILL SHINE THROUGH

THE LIGHT WILL SHINE THROUGH

In times like this
In times of bliss
Of happiness and pain
Through sunshine and rain
No matter what you may be going through
Know that the light will always shine through
When what lay at your feet, is the world ahead
Yet you can’t seem to drag yourself out of bed
When you are blessed with all that surrounds
Yet seem as though you are all alone
Know that the light will always shine through
You may feel as though everything is in your reach
Yet for you so far out of reach
That you are everything
Yet nothing
And at times you may feel as though time is slipping by
Looking back at the days passed and wanting to cry
Knowing that things are forever going to change
Wondering if there will be anything that will stay the same
Yet know this, you must do
The light will always shine through
In everything that you do in your coming life
And with each new experience that comes into your life
Know that the light will always shine through

A MAN'S BEST FRIEND

MAN’S BEST FRIEND



To see him lying there so sweet and innocent

His big brown eyes looking up at me

There’s a sparkle, a gleam

Almost like a dream

So kismet

Man’s best friend

Woman’s worst enemy

Who knew, this, he could be

So sweet,

So kind

Yet so discrete,

He sneaks behind

Under a tree he lay so gently

Who knew he could be so slimy

Quiet and laid back, he seemed so sweet

Who knew, my heart, he hungered to eat

Who knew he was plotting against my heart

As to save it for the platter he rolls upon a cart

So juicy, so pure

So full of love, yet unsure

He leaped from his spot

To love me?...Oh! NOT

He tossed me here and there

He threw me everywhere

His love and kindness, he was suppose to share

Yet I did not have the long beautiful brown hair

He tucked me under his bed

Put me out of his head

Then went on his way

To claim yet another, on this very day.

MY LIFE MY LOVES

MY LIFE MY LOVES

How do I describe the most joyous days of my life?

The days when each of you came into me life

First, I start with you, my oldest daughter

Who brings light to the room with your most simple laughter

Who reaches out to help those in need

No second thoughts, and without greed

And next I come to you

The one I received in oh thousand on two

With your daring nature

Willing to take on all presented to you

A born leader and not a follower

One of whom to God many will follow her

And next my son

Who was guided to me through the rays of the sun

With the calming voice

That will lead many to the right choice

Who praises God with his hands in the air

In thanks of what God has given him here

And last bus not least, my youngest baby

Who over came all that was placed in front of you and me

Whose destination was planned through the kindest of grace

With the strong personality that will overcome each and every race

Who brings joy to all who look upon her face

All of you are miracles to me

Came into the world for all to see

All with a specific purpose

Designed by God with no mistake

To make a difference

In this world that He did make

My loves, my life

My children, full of life

I am blessed to have each and every one of you

In my life that God placed, so perfect only he knew.

I love you all with all my heart

And through time I will always be there to the end as from the start.

AN ANSWER TO PAIN...

AN ANSWER TO…
HOW DO YOUDEAL WITH PAIN

I have told you in my word
That you hold the power of the shield and sword
My child, you are not to deal with pain
Even through the thunderstorms with the cold drawn rain
You are to cast your cares upon me
Open up and allow me to see
Show me what is bottled up inside
Your fears, no longer will you have to hide
My child, of me, you can expect it all
For my child I will not let you fall
I will never fail you
Yet I will always save you
I am the one who has come to sanctify you
I have brought you the truth
I have brought you the light
I am the one that, for you, will put up the fight
How do you deal with pain you ask?
This for me is no task
It is not your job to deal with pain
It is not your job to worry yourself
Just call my name
And I will put your pain up on a shelf
I have called you to love
I have called you to praise
I have promised you, that with me, you will have no pain
So call my name
And everyday I will do the same.

SHATTERED PIECES

Like a king taking over a pawn
My heart has been trampled on
Broken, shattered and ripped to pieces
Tossed, whipped and thrown with no miss
To find the pieces of my heart
Where to begin, where to start?
Before me I see a field of green
Filled with a mirror of reflections the eye has not seen
With each little step that I so gently take
I keep in mind the mended heart that I must make
To gather the pieces that I once knew
I keep in mind the love that I have for you
Hidden and tucked away
Yet surface again, it will do one day
So with each new step I take a chance
I creep up closer to get a better glance
And as the shattered pieces float my way
I have hope that things will be better with each new day
While tiptoeing by as to not cause new damage
I feel it tearing down, this wall that was built as a collage
This heart that was shattered, I know I can salvage
So I sift through the blades of grass as if I were a savage
Yet like a move in a game
Each blade is different and not the same
And like this mirror filled field
My heart has caution and struggles to yield
My life is a pawn, each move is strategic
I know our love, to some, may seem pathetic
Yet I am not ready to store it in the attic
So as my search for these pieces goes on
Of what I need
I know is not greed
For I know our love is still there, and not gone
So with each new step, I’ll search more and more
For my heart that was ripped to pieces
My heart that was tore
In my heart I truly believe this
That one day, in the grass, I will see those reflections no more
My heart no longer will be sore
One day, in my hand, I’ll hold the pieces of my heart
One day it will truly be our new start.

what Do I want?

I want the vibration that overtakes my body
Like what I feel any time you touch or even just look at me
That is what I want.
I want to feel this all day of every day.
I want to help you to explore this overpowering sensation
With every stoke and every motion.
I want to give you a feeling so undeniable
A feeling almost indescribable
I want to give you a feeling that moves from the soles of your feet
Then gradually ascends to the top of your head…
This, a feeling that just can’t be beat.
This intense journey begins with the slightest touch to the small of your back
Gliding along the curves of your body
Stroking every muscle with every part of me
I will kiss you in the crook of your neck
Then give your ear a little peck
In turning you over, I will shower your body with a mountain of kisses
I will work my way down the center of your chest
All the while, you’ll be pondering the rest
I’ll unbutton your pants with only my teeth
Then tease and caress you with all that is beneath
With the circling motion of my tongue along your member
I’ll give you an erotica ting numbness that will consume your every movement
Then with the sliding of my lips placed so delicately upon you
I’ll leave not one inch feeling any lack
And not to worry, there won’t be any slack
Exploring pleasures untold
We’ll work together and have an unbearable reaction explode
Waiting in anticipation for this moment will only make it that much stronger
For we know that one day we will have to wait no longer.

What Do You See?

WHAT DO YOU SEE


Null and void I walk around
An empty shield
Hesitant to yield
I try so hard to listen for the sound
Yet all I hear is the cracking of the ground
It’s hard to show emotion
It’s hard to show devotion
I know not how to show it anymore
For through the years, my heart has grown sore
It’s so hard to release my emotions and let you in
For it goes much deeper into a life of sin
It goes much deeper than what is felt at this moment
It goes much deeper, into a heart that has been, for so long dormant
Many days I feel like breaking
I feel the cracks edging
Afraid of the day, that surface, the cracks they will
In fear of that day, I get a chill
Broken thoughts of an innocent child
Broken thoughts of that innocence defiled
Trust of loved ones, was trust in sin
And now it’s so hard to let the downpour of trust rush in
You say you see an angle
Yet I am no angle
If you only knew of the things that I have done
If you only knew what was present in this life that had begun
You say you see a rock
Yet what lay before you is a being in shock
Scared to let go
Scared to let show
This woman, you say you know.
You say you see before you a woman on innocence
A woman with an illuminating presence
Yet a mask covers her face
This woman of a different race
She beats to a different beat
Her body filled with much heat
Before you, stands a woman of disgrace
A woman tainted in the most unsuspecting of place
A woman abused in every way
A woman who struggles to start fresh with each day
You see before you, a woman who is strong
Yet, this is a woman who feels she has done everything wrong
With nothing but pain
With nothing but despair
Do you see a woman who goes by a different name?
Do you see a woman who has discerning care?
This woman that stands before you is trapped in a cage
This woman is a black-panther ready to pounce with much rage
Ready to divulge what is seen
Ready to make what is past, what is present, a vague dream
For every time this panther is set free
It is hard to conceive in the mind what is seen
You see a rock
Yet what lies in-front of you is a round block
Inside is a child that caresses each side
A child is trapped inside.
A child of confusion
A child full of delusion
A child born into a panther
A child who would rather
Have lived a life of peace
A life with no physical grief
A child who was raped of her innocence
A child longing for God’s presence
A child who lived to tell the tale of her murder
A child who you now call a survivor
You see a rock, you see an angle
Yet what you don’t see is the heart that so easily did mangle
Two questions I ask of you
Two answers, I only hope are true
Do you see me for the woman I am?
Do you see me for who I am?

THANK YOU LORD

THANK YOU LORD


Just when there seemed to be no hope
You showed me once again how to cope
Once again
You came in
You shinned your light
And showed me how to fight
Through many times of feeling alone
Through many times I’ve felt I have no home
Through many times of happiness and joy
Through many times I’ve felt I want to deploy
Through many times I’ve felt I wanted to end my life
Just so I would no longer have to endure the strife
You’ve showed yourself true
You always came through
You’ve showed me that there is always one I can count on
You’ve showed me that you are here and not gone
With all the pain and sorrow I’ve felt
In the end, on my knees I have knelt
I’ve begged of you, to end this pain
I’ve begged of you to dry up this falling rain
When I’ve felt I can’t go on
You’ve been there present, to feed your faun
Nourishing and feeding your delicate creature
Filling with grace and mercy, as to nurture
I thank you Lord for what you have done
For making me feel as though, in this life, I have won
For showing me my life has only just begun
For helping me to realize, I am not alone
For the constant reminder that before me awaits a blessed home
Thank you Lord for bringing me through
Everything I couldn’t, if I didn’t have you
Thank you for loving
Thank you for caring
Thank you for your open arms
Thank you for protecting me from all harms
Thank you Lord for helping me to press on
Thank you Lord for ever showing me you are here, yet not gone
In this life I have truly struggled
And without you, my life would have been smuggled
Through all the sins
You still came in
Through all the sorrow and pain that dwells
You gave me a heart that with love still swells
I thank you Lord for opening up the doors to your kingdom
I thank you Lord for giving me wisdom
I thank you Lord for giving me discernment
I thank you Lord for your gift, a wonderful present
I thank you Lord for being there
Through all the pain and trials in my life
I thank you Lord for showing me that you do care
I thank you Lord for saving my life.

I SEE A GIRL

HERE IS ONE OF THE POEMS FROM MY BOOK "UNKNOWN LOVE"

I SEE A GIRL

I see a girl who is afraid of what she has become
A girl who feels, in this life, she has not won
I see a girl starving for attention
A girl reflecting desperation
Reaching to find love
Covering her body with a glove
I see a girl hiding behind a newfound mask
A girl feeling overwhelmed in every task
I see a girl who questions, will me, he save
A girl who is overcome by the crashing wave
I see a girl who needs to be rescued
From the life she has turned to, instead of the one she has valued
A girl who, to others, she has portrayed
The person she thought she left behind
I see a girl who, within herself, she has betrayed
The power, love and wealth that was given her, along with all man kind
I see a girl who is longing to be loved
A girl who is longing to be filled
I see a girl who reaches out
A girl who has some doubt
With the walk she finds herself on in this life
I see a girl who feels pain…who feels strife
I see a girl who searches to find what she must seek
A girl who finds herself getting weak
I see a girl who has strayed
A girl who, by the enemy, has been played
I see a girl who once was me
A girl who I no longer wish to be
I see a girl who I was in the past
A girl who will no longer last
I see a girl and that girl is me
Yet I long for the girl I strive to be
I see a girl that was sent from above
I see a girl that God does love.
