POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a very verbal person looking for an outlet to express my creativity, thoughts and beliefs. I am loving to live life through living to love.
See What I See
If only I could take back your pain
feel all that you feel
shelter you from rain
I hurt seeing you hurt
its like a grinding of my being
my child who I adore, this cant be real what I'm seeing
I see my baby when ever I look at you no matter how old you are
I will come to your aide whenever needed whether your near or far
no matter how defeated you feel to me you shine like a star
but its not how I feel but what you feel and you don't feel too good
I know most of the time you feel misunderstood
and that this is punishment for when you didn't act so...

How The Lord Has Helped Me Walk
I walk by a DESTINY not by a PAST
I walk by a PURPOSE not by a STEP
I walk by ACCEPTANCE not by REJECTION
I walk by ACCOUNTABILITY not by AVOIDANCE
I walk by an OPEN HEART not by a CLOSED MIND
I walk by ASSURANCE not by DOUBT
I walk by COMPASSION not by SELFISHNESS
I walk by CONFIDENCE not by CONCEIT
I walk by COURAGE not by FEAR
I walk by...

Until tomorrow
The vision of your face
between my thighs
kissing inward and outward
licking from right to left
bottom to top
breathing into me the heat of passion
from your soul to mines
as my spine extends to a sexual plateau that I've never felt before
I feel the power of exhaustion and rejuvenation all at the same time
the intensity of your masculinity
has me creaming beyond reason
and I don't want it to ever stop
this feeling should never end
it's too right
the sweet salty taste of your sweat
as I kiss your body tastes like the best...

Now And Again
Now and again you cross my mind
and then I begin to reminisce
all the good things in my life you missed
you just gave up and dismissed
me
you didn't see all that could be
like me
if only you'd stayed
instead of playing the games you constantly played
so carelessly
recklessly
abusing the best of me that I gave to you
I treated you with great value
but you treated me as less than zero
so selfish you became useless
to me
and then just a memory
that I think about now and again
about what could have been ...

From The Heart <3
I may have rose from the fire tattered and torn
but my reward is on the inside my heart and soul are reborn
I give glory to God because without Him I wouldn't have been able to do it
see no one else could have gotten me through it
long nights rough days trying to cope in so many ways...
except the right one
I'm far from perfect but even farther from broken and I have been forgiven
which is why I give Him praise through these words I have written
I used to think my heart was permanently broken
but no more
see He presented the door
and I opened it...

I just get in the way
I just get in the way...
is what they used to say
she can't go she'd just get in the way
so I would play by myself most days and stay out the way
with no words to say I would play
not understanding why I was treated differently and no one wanted to play with me
I was clumsy I was frail my hair was kinky and I was pale so I was left to be alone because they said I just get in the way
alone in a hospital I was left two days old by myself
my mother didn't want me she wanted herself
and I just got in the way
raised by my grandmother with the help of a...

For you <3
I love you for so many reasons that mean nothing to you
I pray for your safe keeping more than you even do
I stay looking for a new reason to give love to you and new reasons to live my life to love you
even though the love I get from you is none and the appreciation is less
I continue to hold on and hope for the best
from this what I consider to be my toughest test
I make lemonade out of the bitter lemons that drop on my head from your tree
I make mud pies out of the mud I wipe from my face that you throw on me
I keep the faith and even manage to...

Get Real
Don't give me no more sad songs
don't give me no more lies
don't give me no more excuses, aliases or alibi's
come correct be direct or up the block you can get
you had my time, I'd come to you at the drop of a dime but instead you'd like to chase behind every ass you can find
handsome face pretty good taste but sneaky ass ways make you just a waste, of my time.
I am on a journey a quest
really trying to find the best
a real man a true man
not the lie to you brotha-man
walk right by you brotha,leave you and two kids stuck on the side of he road type...

I Love You Through The Seasons
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall with you my love I would spend them all
at Winter we could watch the snow flakes drop
in the Summer water balloons on each other we would pop
we'd do our thing all through the Spring
and in the Fall we'd relax and reminisce on it all.
see with you I can see my life all the way through
with you I am you and you are me
and together as one is the most beautiful thing to be
I support you and you strengthen me when we are making love there is no more a joyous harmony
your the...

The Dating Game
The dating game the waiting game
the who's gonna break who's heart first and run game
its all the same when you make up your own bad rules
creep and run with fools and don't use the common courtesy that you should have learned in school, then comes the jealousy the deceit full of envy and stranger danger mentality
crossing out lives like days on a prison cell wall
showing no compassion but plenty of gall
caring but not really caring at all about who got hurt or who took the fall
maybe one day after you get your heart crushed you'll understand and repent for...
