YOUR BIRTHDAY

Today is your birthday

December 7

A date etched in my mind

Burned into my heart

Decades of birthdays

Celebrated without our love

Decades we were apart

Today is your birthday

And today on your special day

I ask one thing from the man above

To bless you and keep you

My first and only true love

Today is your birthday

And I will celebrate it without you

With only memories

Etched in my mind

Of the things we used to do

Of the love we shared

You exploring me and I exploring you

Today on your birthday

I will remember only you

At the stroke of midnight

And at the dawn's first light

I will reach out to be the first

To wish my first true love

A happy birthday

Filled with God's grace and my love

Today and every day

On your special day

I celebrate for you

Without you

But always with love

To you.

Happy Birthday

With Love

MEASURE OF A WOMAN

The measure of a woman is not in the love she receives

But in the love she chooses to give

The measure of a woman is not in those she loves

But in those who truly loves her

The measure of a woman is not in her brown, pale or dark skin

But rather in the love for herself that comes from within

The measure of a  woman comes from:

The love she receives

The love she chooses to give

From those she love

And those who truly love her

It is reflected in her brown, pale and dark skin

And yes.....the true measure of this woman 

Comes from within

It is not defined by the skin she is in.

KEEPING IT IN CHECK

You told me do not fight it

Let my heart feel what it knows is true

Today you say

Keep my emotions in check

Like its the easiest thing to do.

How do I  erase those memories

Etched deep within my mind

How Do I stop the flow of love

The sweetest love I could find

How do I wipe this 

Love I feel

Deep in my heart.

How do I keep these emotions in check

I am an emotionally weak

 

SP

LET ME LOVE YOU

I need to love you 

hold you

Wrap myself in your arms

The way that we do.

I need to taste you

Receive you

Feel the swell of you between my legs

The only way we know how to.

Let me caress you

Nibble on your ears

Let me love you completely

Wipe away all our fears

We need to forget all we have

Release all our cares

Fall in each others arms

Because this love is true

It is the only true love I have 

And it lives

Because of you.

Let me love you

Let my love live for you

Let my passion burn

And let this love return

To live and die in your arms

As we share all we feel

Let us love each other

With open hearts 

Let us heal 

Let us love and love for real.

Take me in your arms

Intoxicate me with your charms

Whisper sweet lies

Let me hear your loving cries.

Sing those sweet lullabies

Of promises and lies

Never wake me up

From my dream of true love

Or for sad goodbyes.

Let me love you 

one final time

Let me love you

Let me make you mine.

LOVE CROOK

Sooner or later it becomes clear as day

That the one you profess to love

Does not love you in the same way

And you wonder???

As you ponder??

Was I just bait on his cheating hook?

Did I fall for another Love Crook?

Sooner or later it becomes clear as day

The one you truly love

Does not love you the same way.

You refused to see the signs

You pretended to be blind

To his lies, your cries, his wandering eyes.

Sooner or later you have to Accept

That there is no value in love

Without self respect.

Sooner or later you have to learn

As you feel the pain of love's ugly burn

Don't fall for the lies of this lovers hook

They are empty promises of an experienced Love Crook.
