As you stood, watching raindrops slowly stain the windows of our existence, Can you see that it was really my tears?
I cried the day you left. I waited for your return.
I waited, myself..on the doorsteps of everything we could be.
I waited.
Hell...I still wait.
The raindrops have ceased now. Alas, my tears have dried. There is that rainbow I've been hoping for. it's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day.
My sunshine today is knowing you exist. Knowing you are cast there..in your beautiful world. Knowing that someone loves you, someone needs you. You exist for people whose lives you affect.
Who is it that could disrupt such a blessing in life....
I sit here...on the steps of time. Waiting. Waiting on you, baby. I told you once before that promises are made to be kept. I never lied to you.
Check the last place I was seen. They will tell you that I was there, waiting on you. Alone in the recesses of my thoughts, I waged a vigil....very little time logged sleeping, or doing anything else...but thinking about you
Do you believe in what your heart says to you?
Have I proved that I don't care?
Did you even think of me?
 It's your allure
who provides the tease
you enter me
mentally
with literary ease
sucking up the space within
the part of me
I cannot defend
If it were up to me
I would let you in
This hunger in me
is begging you to take
and I don't know
what to make...
of this chaste,
this burning
that you make me feel;
it's a desire
normal lust
cannot
fulfill
I know
that there's plenty more
that's not what I came here for
I was searching
not really trying to find
some answers
for the questions in my mind
I can be found
looking
lurking all around
but I found something here
something
beyond my fear
a kind of excitement
in your words,my dear
when I write sex
its so cold
and formal
when you write sex
its
Sensual
Erotic
X-rated
You are the teacher
Wordologist
Professor
of Mental Copulation,
and it is I
who am graced, honored
and proud
You leave my senses
floating
weightlessly,
shamelessly
on a cloud
...thank you, for being you!
The mood of a song
I bring....
the words to it
I soulfully sing--
Once
Twice
Three times A lady...
and I hope you can see
all the fire,
the excitement
you bring out in me
With the precisioned steps
of a cougar
I move in towards the prey
hoping I can catch it
before it gets away
I watched you
from afar
wondering
who you really are
I watched you
in the night
wondering
if
I just might
catch a sight
a glimpse
before my courage
takes flight....
HELLO
my name is .......
I know all you see
is darkness
but I see light
It must be so lonely
inside
all those feelings
you constantly fight
the ones you're trying to hide
deep
in the abyss of your fear
I knew I would find you
hiding here
afraid to really trust
what you already know
Love is on the other side of this door
Series of hurts and pains
Restless nights,
tears,
and fears
and so much rain
have caused you to not chance
loving again
Every lover won't leave you
standing outside
in the cold
Every body
is not meant to stay
But some remain
until the whole story is told
Sometimes
the best kind of loving
only lasts
for a season
a month
or even a moment
But it's still love, my dear
Beyond those murky shadows
of what could possibly be
is a place
so affectionately called
you and me
We can get there
It's on the other side of destiny
right around fate's bend
no promises needed,
Hearts broken
will eventually mend
We make our own rules
ours to break
All we have is today
and our happiness at stake
Look what we could have
in the end...
Happiness

 A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
" All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said: " When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
