A cynical breath of laughter escaped her lips is she examined her self in the mirror.
Seeing everything no one else saw,
Who is she?
Instead of the twinkle everyone else saw, she saw weariness behind her eyes that cried rivers from joy but more often pain.
Instead of a captivating smile she saw regret on lips from words unspoken but more often spoken to the wrong person.
Instead of a kind & gentle heart she saw a jaded heart from a scorned past, from heartache to heartbreak but she still tried to mend the pieces.
She saw tired hands at the ends of sore arm, aching feet at the end of weakening legs.
Who is she?
Only exposing this side of her to the mirror, she picks her head up, crowning her self in confidence.
She wipes away her weariness, covers her regrets, hides her pain. She nurtures herself back into her strength. She scolds the mirror for not letting her see herself.
She is self-beheld beauty.
She is strength in its purest form.
She is obstacles overcome & roadblocks removed wrap in power & passion placed underneath the powder soft skin, courage under curves, laughter on her lips & enlightenment in her eyes.
She is what little girls dream of becoming.
A woman

Toxic LoverCold sweats & shivers take over my body I feel a warm stream of tears on my cheek as scream in pain to drain you out of my system. All it took was one hit One hit of you I took you in, in one puff and exhaled in ecstasy with a tingle in every nerve, floating on cumulonibus as the rain sounds soothed me into my pipedream of you & I becoming a we & you wanting only me. I breathed in your scent to heighten the sensation. The warmth of your touch brought me back to sanity. I was hooked after a look, stuck one touch, fiending to find meaning in a craving that left me screaming. It was poison & I loved it & I loved you more for supplying me, living a lie with me, going on a pipedream high with me But when it wore off it hurt. Sending sharp pains through me as I try to break from my addiction of you. Repeating "you can do it, you don't need the medication" over & over until I cleanse the toxic lover out my system while wanting nothing but more. Getting no rest,... |
Abba's WisdomYOU whisper your love for me in the wind It breezes across my cheeks like a gentle caress & while soothing my anguish warms my heart. YOU do love me. I've been told before but was in total disbelief. How could one so magnificent love someone so unworthy? I've tried to run like prodigal son but I always seem to go in the same circle & now instead of YOU chasing me I'm chasing YOU! I've run long enough & I'm tired. I'm giving up on this race I've been running to stay on a track to YOU because in the end all I've lost was time I could've spent in our relationship wrapped in your arms under an umbrella of unconditional love. Lord, surrender to you. But this path is not easy. My struggle is real, You told me to look to you. The urge to look back is strong but you took my hand and gently said" eyes forward, I don't want you to fall. You stood in the midst of the lions & wanted to be apart of the hunt. I've raised your reborn body & they roared in your acceptance. Take your place in my pri... |
The ResignationI'm done, I quit I'm freeing my heart from it's position Time to walk away An official resignation As a tidal wave of emotion crashes in my heart My soul begins drowning

Kim's Pain (I feel it)Kim's pain was mind numbing She watched him in sorrow How could he do that to her? She loved him too! Why wasn't she good enough? She loved him too!

Beautiful BlackLet's take a flashback in time A moment to rewind When we once marched on one accord Or sang follow the drinking gourd When our families fought for freedom And had Harriett Tubman to lead them

No TimeTo fall asleep I reminisce
I wake up to what ifs
It doesn't seem to matter the time
You always consume the thoughts in my mind
Thoughts of you being mine
But you don't have the time
You don't have the moment to spare
Though I dream of you being there
My nightmare came true
I've grown too fond of you
And the more I crave to have you near
I realize you don't have time to be here
As I rewind previous moments in my mind
I continuously grow to appreciate those time
But in the back of my mind I realize
I can't fall for yo... |
2014Pour me a glass
Let's toast to the past
with this year anew
Let's tunnel a successful view
Let's fight for a cause
Let purpose take the wheel
Let's heal from what we've lost
and let hurt and sadness be sealed
Open your eyes to experience
Don't be afraid of falling
Be open to love
Walk in you godly calling
Pour another glass
Let us toast to the past
And may this year
be better than the last.

UntitledUndress for me
Thrill on
Let the air kiss your skin
Chill on
Put your hands on me
Feel on
Rock me until I fall asleep
Drill on
Let's love on this leather
Bathe in our pleasure
Move to the bed
Time for...... Mic check 1,2
Let's try whatever comes to your mind
Let's love undefined
relax our racing hearts and rewind
And go overboard at the same time
Let's fall asleep in our afterglow
Hold me closely until you have to go
Let's leave a... |
Winter BitterAs snow falls like leaves
Ice glistening on the trees
Families grateful for God's glory
People sharing the Christmas story
I ly cold hearted
Remembering when it started
Then the icy winds first flew
I turned holiday blue
I turned winter bitter
I turned ice cold
I dreaded the weather
As it began to unfold
Screw silent nights
Silence jingle bells
I hate chestnuts
And Rudolf's tale
Who cares about Santa
Or to which town he came
Or wh... |
