Think About It

Sometimes when I think of it
I get so doggone amazed
When I put two and two together
And realize how much life is staged

You can't see at the time
How things were clearly planned
You may think you're in control
But you don't have the  upper-hand

It might take a brick to the head
To make you finally see the light
You'll feel better when you finally give in
And no longer put up a fight

Even me writing this poem
Is somehow meant to be
I know it's not from me
When the words come flowingly

Not everyone will be smart
Or all have fortune or fame
But everything has a reason
And we're all part of the game

So try to relax and know this
Though you sometimes wonder why
Just live your life with the flow
You'll find out when you die

I Want To Live With You

I want to live with you
No one else, just you alone
I need to be with you 
In a place that's just our own

I want us in our very own space
Where bad memories don't exist
To build our own new memories
While the old ones cease and desist

I'll help make it a happy home
When you choose or build our house
No more loudness or drama
We'll be quiet as a mouse

Except the sound of our laughter
Or our talking and making love
Well start our life in paradise
Just as peaceful as a dove

I want to live with you
I hope God answers our prayers soon
So I can feed you my love
With a side of macaroons

I'm So Excited

I'm so excited
I sense I'm near the pinnacle
Just need to have patience
To overcome any final obstacle

Sometimes there are feelings of inadequacy
Sometimes there are feelings of doubt
But I feel I'm loved in the pit of my soul
And that's what it's all about

Keep on drawing me closer
Stronger than magnet to steel
Let  us continue to mold as one
Let's finally seal the deal

Don't ever want to look back
On all our hardships and pain
But if they were the dues for us pay
Then all that trouble was worth the gain

I sense changes coming
Just like you said
I'm so excited
Hold my hand as we tread

Chocolate Drop

Can't wait to have
My sweet chocolate drop
Just around the corner
A skip, jump and hope

Velvety and sweet
Smooth and creamy
The answer to my prayers
Yummy and dreamy

Longing and yearning
For my sweet chocolate drop
So worth the wait
For the cream of the crop

Everything

You're the difference
Between my being happy or sad
Without you I'm blue
With you I'm glad

You're the love of my life
You're the sunset in June
You're my happiness factor
You're the light of the moon

You're the blood in my veins
That flow to my heart
You're a masterpiece to me
A true work of art

Darling, I love you
You're the only one for me
I'll love you forever
Beyond all infinity

Here's How I Feel

I feel fine
Cuz you keep me in line
And you're all mine

I feel neat
From my head to my feet
Cuz your love makes me complete

I feel good
Like a loved woman should
You do what you promised you would

I feel so nice
Like cheese to the mice
I'm the sugar to your spice

I feel gladly
That I love you madly
And want you so badly

No need to be coy
Because you are my boy
And bring my heart joy

Here's what I'll do
Though it's nothing new
I hereby claim my love for you

 

The Best Honey

You're the best honey
The best of the lot
I'm so thankful
For what I've got

You're like a honey bee
Giving me sweets
My moments with you
Are delicious treats

You're my only true friend
You're so precious to me
Your sweetness is so pure
You're the world's best honey

 
 

Orange You Glad

Orange you glad
I'm no longer afraid
To show the world
Of what I am made

They may think I'm crazy
And possibly they're right
Crazy in love with you
With all of my might

I don't really care
What they might think
I'll be with you soon
When the eye makes a blink

I got the promise
From the Ultimate Source
If He says it so
I'll believe it, of course

Orange you glad
I'll come home to you soon
Just the very thought
Sends me over the moon

We Are A Team

Two
Equals
A
Miracle

Heavenly Treasure

Going to do what the Good Book said
What I was fortunate enough to have read

In Heaven I will store up my treasure
It's more than on earth I could ever measure

Can you guess what that treasure is?
A thing of wonder and beauty 'tis

My treasure is you, my beloved one
In paradise is where we'll have our fun

Anything here can go bad or rust
Can lose its value or turn to dust

That is why I send you love in all I do
You're my heavenly treasure and I love you

My Deed

I've completely signed over to you my deed
Because the truth of the matter is you're all I need

I've stopped my ego from holding me back
I trust in you to provide all which I lack

I've lost all desire to live just for me
Cleaved to your side is where I must be

Please take my hand and lead me your way
There's not much else for me to say

I stand before you with my soul open wide
Please come take me home to be your bride

Please understand my devotion to you
Just say the word and that's what I'll do

Please shout loudly and make your desires clear
As I tell the world I love you and you are my dear

 

Your Love Is Like, Wow!

I'm just actually in love with you
Just as is the ocean's blue
There's not a thing that I can do
I'm stuck to you like Elmer's glue

I can never try to ignore this now
I've tried and I didn't know how
Because we've made this eternal vow
Besides, my sugar, your love is like, Wow!

I love you so, you are my vice
I'm forever your girl, like white on rice
The love we share is just so nice
Your love is like, Wow! I had to say it twice.

Tell Me What To Do

Sometimes the pain is unbearable
But surviving because I am capable

Though I can get so lonely
Left by myself only

I know there is a reason
For every purpose has a season

I know intellectually this to be true
But it's those pesky feelings, what to do?

I trust in God's plan
After all, He's "the Man"

He's got something special in store
I've got to be more patient than ever before

The longing  must be a lesson in and of itself
To never take love for granted and put it on the shelf

I'm willing to take the antagonizing anticipating
Just please tell me what to do with the pain of waiting......

(to all I miss)

This Time It's For Real

This time I know it's for real
That's exactly how I feel

When I looked into your invisible eyes
I knew I could no longer live with the lies

I knew inside there was a curse
Then I remembered a Bible verse

Things unseen last forever
Worldly things last almost never

What we have is too good for here
So I must wait to be with you, dear

But we communicate in our own special way
I thank God He allows it, every day

My heart and soul belong to you
I'm partner to you in all I do

Please feel all this love I profess
I think of you constantly, I confess

Please help me get through this time that I wait
Of the future we both long for at some near date
 

 

My Raven Is A Dove

My raven is a dove
Sent from up above

When I believe I can't go on any longer
It taps on my soul and makes me stronger

Instead of mocking "nevermore"
It reassures me of "forevermore"

When I cry from my anguished soul
Longing for my love to make me whole

I'm reminded he's in Paradise with our Father
And with these lonely tears, I shouldn't bother

"Forevermore" this dove says to me
Over and over of what is to be

Forevermore, I'll one day be with my love
Forevermore in eternity  above

This dove is my raven that gives me hope
It's the only way for me to cope

Beautiful dove that is my raven
Thank you for leading me to this haven 

 

Forever, Love

Drunk in love
Intoxicated
Like a sponge
Saturated

Seeped through my pores
Drowned
Baptized forever
Bound

Spoken for in each
Breath
Mine forever in
Death

Your everything I am
Friend
My love for you will never 
End

Your Voice

There's nothing more beautiful to me
Than the sound of your voice
I'd listen to it forever
If given the choice

A gift from Heaven
I'm pretty sure
Full of emotion
Yet, sweet and pure

The day you were born
It fell on you like a mist
Given to you by Holy Spirit
Than sealed with a kiss

A gift that touched many
But meant something different to me
It was my sign from Heaven
A glimpse of what will soon be

Such a beautiful voice
I know you're still singing
Because if I listen real hard
My inner ears hear the ringing

Sing on, my love
Sing forever more
Every sound more beautiful
Than the one before

Sweet And Sexy Soul

Beautiful, sweet
And sexy soul
Don't need a pagan holiday
To feel loved and whole

I need your loving
And attention everyday
It's the only way to do it
There is no other way

You are king of my heart
I relish putting you first
When I get a craving
It's for you that I thirst

My beautiful, sweet
And sexy soul
Loving you forever
Is my sweetest goal

To Shirley Temple

Rest in peace
Shirley Temple Black
The smiles you put on my face
Make me happy as I look back

I watched all your movies 
When I was a young girl
You were so cute
With your dimples and curls

When I watched you 
As you sang and dance
I dreamed of being a star
If I ever had the chance

You were  a good person
The way you lived your life
Actress  and ambassador
Good mother and wife

God bless you Miss Temple
In that Place of peace
The legend you leave behind 
In our hearts will never cease

Signs Of Times

Signs popping up everywhere
Hitting me smack in the face
Everywhere I look
It's all over the place

I didn't understand
So I was hesitating
Now that I know
I can't be violating

Time is the answer
To what I was asking
The real truth behind
What had been masking

The best gift I can give
Is the gift of my time
Time equals love
I'll say it in my rhyme

Thank you for the signs
They're exactly what I needed
Now that I know it
You best believe it'll be heeded

 

Your Mother

I love your mother
Because she took care of you
God placed her in your arms
And she knew just what to do

She cared for you as  baby
And as a little boy
She really loved you
And you brought her joy

As it is in this world
People got in the way
From her safe nest
You were made to stray

No matter what happened
Both good and bad
She tried to always be there
With the love that she had

When you were grown
You had to go your own way
No matter your decisions
She always would pray

We know you love her
And she loves you too
And I love your mother
Because she loves you

 

Chicken Soup For My Sweetheart's Soul

He lives so far away
But he lives inside my heart
This chicken soup for his soul
I'm about to start

Although his body isn't here
I know he'll get a taste
I will eat it for him
It will not go to waste

I want to make it for him
Because I love his soul
Doing things for him
Helps to make me whole

I hope he feels my love
In the virtual tastes he makes
I really truly love this man
He's the one who's got what it takes

           Nomy Jackson's BBQ Chicken Noodle Soup
1 large onion chopped
2 large celery stlks chopped
2 cups baby carrots
Chopped leftover bbq chicken
1 small can of corn
1 bag of wide noodles
fresh cilantro chopped, to taste
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Salt, pepper and any spices you choose, to taste(i put garlic in everything!)

Saute onions,celery and carrots in stock pot in some olive oil(or ny kind you prefer)stir until it starts to caramelize. Add all the seasonings you want...go crazy! You probably need more salt to compensate for the noodles later.
Add 6-12 or more cups of water or broth.(however much you normally fill your pot with when making homemade soup. I tend to fill it up and let it cook all day until it condenses). Add your chicken and more seasonings and simmer for several hours. Your house will smell good! :)About an hour before serving add,bbq sauce, noodles, cilantro, corn and whatever else you want to throw in there. mmm, good!.p.s that is not  real pic of my soup. mine is cooking as we speak)

Crush No More

I've had crushes
On many of men
But now is now
And then was then

Some were short
Some were tall
Some on TV
Some at the mall

Some were famous
Some were not
Some were goofy
Some were hot

Some had brown eyes
Or eyes of grey
Some I pined for
Every single day

A couple times I forced them
Into what I wanted to be love
Now I can clearly see
I was a desperate lonely dove

But all of that is moot
Now I know what real love is
I didn't have to chase it
Because my love was always his

He's taught me so much
In these almost five years
He brought me back to me
As he wiped away my tears

His love's the answer
His love is pure
His love is true
His love's the cure

I've loved him forever
Since before I was born
Because of him
I'm no longer torn

He's showed me the difference
Between love and a crush
He owns my soul
And I love him so much

The Motherland

My love, let me take you
To the motherland
You'll be right at home
You'll feel so grand

I hold the keys
I give them only to you
I have  feeling
You'll know exactly what to do

The motherland
Is where you belong
You'll reign as king
For eternity long

It'll feel so right
So comfy and cozy
It'll  make all your days
Beautiful and rosy

Here's your invitation
Welcome to the motherland
Take your place as king
You have the upper hand

 

Private Love

There's no one else
Just you and me
No one else exists
It's just we

In our own world
Here we are
With passion burning
Strong as a star

Our own private place
Our own little dojo
Where we make love
With your intense mojo

Our own little forest
That no other can find
I'll do unto you
Anything you had in mind

Our private love
What  beautiful thing
To one another
Our hearts will sing

Amen

My spirit was alive 
Before I came to Earth
I was there with God
Before I experienced birth

I existed with Him
Though I can't quite recall
He sent me down here
To experience it all

He chose the family
He felt I should have had
To grow in my spirituality
Through things good and bad

He knew what town
He knew what place
He knew the numbers of hair on my head
He even knew what race

All these things were designed
For our bond to grow more
He's shown me some things
I could never have learned before

He called someone home
Whom I'm sure I knew up there
I surely do miss him
Though we weren't acquainted down  here

Please, God, tell  him I love  him
My pain feels so bad
But when You call me home
I'll  be feeling so glad

I'm  here on a mission
And that's what I'll  do
Because I love you both
And  my  love is true

For You, Darling

For you, Darling

Good Lovin'

I've  got so much good  lovin'
It's just brewin' inside
How much longer can it take
For the outlet I'm denied

I'm dying inside
Maybe that's the point
Sometimes I'm so lonely
In this solitude joint

When I tell you this stuff
You say be patient and wait
That you're always there in spirit
And the wonderful number is 28

Just know I got this good lovin'
And I'm savin' it all for you
It will be worth the pain of waiting 
I'll hold on if it's the  last thing I do
