It Was There All Along

When I felt starved for affection
When things were the absolute darkest
Through the most unusual circumstances
When I could not see beyond my situation
I found love in my life
When it seemed like adversities
Would overpower me
I spit in its face
When he told me
I would never find anyone else
To love me as he did
I knew I could never pass up a challenge
I looked outside of myself
Outside of his minute world
And saw a much greater
Brighter world of hope.
And I came to the realization
That it was there all the time
Waiting for me patiently
If I Were To Define Love

If I were to define love I would say
It is an active expression of faithfulness
Patience when it tears you apart to wait
Kindness when it seems easier to be malicious
It is your smile illuminating a stranger’s day
Love is lending a helping hand when it is least expected
It is giving and expecting absolutely nothing in return
It is an interactive system between the one who is loving
And the one who receives such dynamic gift of love
Love is the purest element
It is honour, it is trust, it is truth
It speaks to you in every moment
So listen to the softness of its voice
It desires to fill every vessel of your heart
It beckons to form roots and grow within you
When you receive it do so with humility
Be certain that you cherish it, nourish it
And let it flow through your veins
Let it evaporate into the atmosphere around you
To the hungry, to the homeless
Let if flow to the woman who does not know
How to leave her abuser
The child who does not have a mother, a father
It is abounding with compassion
Love is acceptance of those who seem so different
Than what you are accustomed to
Existing in your tiny comfort zone
It is what every living thing seeks from day to day
If you do not have love within you
You have nothing, you are empty
Just wandering on the high seas of life
You have no purpose
Can you love too much?
No, you can never love enough
I SAY GOODBYE

I say goodbye
To the lies and
The wandering eyes
I say goodbye
To the fears and insecurities
Goodbye to the indifference
The silence between us
The walking out the door
Coming home and not a spoken hello
I say goodbye to the telephone ringing
And when I answer, the click in my ear
Goodbye to the pain in my heart
When I smell the perfume
That is definitely not mine
And the lipstick on your clothes
A colour I do not wear
Goodbye to our backs looking at each other
In the middle of the night
I say goodbye to the love I thought we had
But most of all I say goodbye to you and all of you
With peace spread through out my heart
With hope for the future
With a better understanding that humans fail
And looking forward to standing on my feet
Without your aid
I say goodbye to being dependent
On you for your love
Instead, I look forward to loving myself completely
So I can love others
I say goodbye to you

This is very special to me

Let’s Meet In Jamaica

Let’s meet in Jamaica
Let’s walk in the sand
On the beach at night
Let’s hold hands and look at the stars
As they dance in the midnight sky
Let’s light a fire of romance
Exposing our hearts and bodies
To the magnetic touch
Of excitement and adventure
Let’s meet in Jamaica
And discover what pleasures
Lay beneath the silent whispers
That summon us from within
To enjoy the love of each other
With an intense passion
Like a roaring volcano
Creating explosions
Over and over and over again
Last Night

Last night
We shared the same
Pillow
I could hear you breathe
Smoothly
And I felt at home
The best place to be
With your chest
Against me keeping me warm
Last night
Became this morning
And I would just like to
Say
Good morning my love
Time

Time will never take away
The joy that we share
Two different people
Two different lives
Two different hearts
Two different minds
With one thing in common
Our unique love
Constantly growing and changing
With the passage of time
Words Of Love


Words of love
In the midst of attraction

Words of love
In the heat of passion

Words of love
So frequently spoken

Words of love
May never be forgotten
You Are Truly a Friend

You are truly a friend
Maybe the best I have had
You shared all my secrets
And you took the time to care
When I was down
You knew what to say to lift me up
When I cried painful tears
You were there to wipe them
Gently away
When I was confused
You helped to put the pieces of the puzzle
Back together giving me a clear picture
When I was weary
You dug deep within and gave me the energy
You always seem to have
When I was half myself you
Made me feel like I could be whole again
A friend like you is a gift worth having
And I desire to be just as good to you
As you have been to me
Spring

So musical is the sound, the chirping of the birds
There they are between the chlorophylled leaves
In the woods perched on the branches
I sit on the stump and watch their rainbow feathers
As they hop skip and move like a dance
It is the melody so sweet to my ears
It is the re-energized touch of the
Crisp morning air against my skintravelling deep into my soul
It is the bubbles of dew on the meadow far and wide
It is the smell of rain from the night before
Where it marinates the earth beneath my feet
It is the breath of life that nature brings
On this brand new day can’t get enough of Spring
Wishing it will stay, will it last forever?
No, the seasons like life itself will change
Until then, I will sink my senses
In the breathtakingly fresh spring air and maybe
In my mind peace and tranquility will reign there
When You Touch Me

When you touch me
You ignite the fires
In my secret hidden being

When you touch me
You give me unimaginable pleasure
I always desire

When you touch me
You sweep me to a world
That belongs only to us
No other human dares to exist
Do You Think Of Me?

Do you think of me?
When the sun peeps out
Through mysterious clouds
When the rain falls
And springs new life
Into every living thing
Do you think of me?
When you lay your head
On your soft feathery pillows
At night when you feel the pleasurable ease
Mingled in your cozy cotton sheets
Do you think of me?

Do you think of me?
When the wind blows and caresses your skin
When it gives you chills
And it tingles down your spine
Do you think of our magnetism
Our desire and the meaning of our
Unique connection so distant yet so near
Do you think about forgetting the sadness of the past
And reaching for the dreams of the future
Stepping on the road you have never travelled
When your mind wanders
Do you think of me?

Do you think of me
When there is no one around
In the stillness of the moment
Can you hear my laughter in your mind
Do you imagine that I am sitting just a short
Distance across from you
And I raise my eyes to see you look at me
To see you smile with sweet admiration in your eyes
Do you think of me and wonder
If I think of you and only you
Tell me, do you think of me?
IN MY DREAMS

In my dreams I see a prosperous, brighter world
I see a country where anyone can survive to their utmost potential
Not just materially, but mentally, physically and foremost spiritually
In my dreams parents return as heads of the household
Not the government, not the children
I see youths filled with respect and honor, caring for others
I see families, a mother, father and children
Meet together at the dinner table
I see families play together
Work together and truly get to know each other
In my dreams I see people of all races filled with the freedom
To enjoy the beauty of the life given to them at no expense
I see God returned to schools and the hearts of men who have turned
To evil thoughts and deeds against their fellow-men
Instead, they live with true love, high moral character and a forgiving spirit
In my dreams I see women and children
Living without the pain of abuse of any kind
I see schools filled with children having the hob of learning
Without the threat of guns, violence, fear, death and tears
In my dreams I see a cloud with a silver lining
This doesn’t have to be only a DREAM
I Saw Her Under The Bridge

I saw her under the bridge she called home
A feeble figure so all alone
Keeping her head down as though
She had made a pact with the ground
Dirty, discoloured, torn pieces of clothing
Hanging from her thin, malnourished frame
Sunken, dull, brown eyes sit on a
Face filled with pain and hopelessness
From the visible scars of neglect
Poverty and despair
Zig Zag the lines trail across her face
Happiness never seemed to know this place
She lost her job, her family
All that she had
Now all that she owns
Is her space on the street and
As the pain gets deeper she feels the heat
While talking with her tears seeped from those eyes
And that came as no surprise
She must have cried a thousand times
She’s A Woman

She’s a woman, a lady
She’s a mother, a wife
A picture of elegance
A mystery at her best
She strides with confidence
A sense of direction
Achieving her deepest desires
She’s a mother, she’s a wife
She’s giving of herself
But never a footstool
She rises above mediocrity
She walks away repugnantly
From the chit-chat restrooms and
Water-cooler gossips
She is devoted to her husband
She cherishes her children
She gives guidance, a protector
This woman has got it together
She’s black, she’s white, she is any colour
Skin so smooth like finely spun silk
Unchanging through the passage of time
She’s a nourisher, a teacher
She’ a comforter, a listening ear
She’s a woman, a lady
She’s a mother, a wife
I Will Return Soon

Though I’m leaving you now
You are with me in my heart
And I am certain
I will return soon
Just to see your smile again
To hear your laughter in my ear
Just to feel the touch of your hands
I cannot wait to see you again
