Let's Fall In Love

Hello Lovies...poetry is the topic tonight. Below is a small poem I penned about a year ago. I don't have much to relay tonight, so....enjoy.



Let's Fall In Love

"Did he speak?" my mind is contemplating
Or is the quick tilt of your mouth just a tease of what I long for?
That glance, the way you gaze fixedly
Alone, I hold my arms in the air twirling in turns of merriment
The resonating voice in this mind yearns to be spoken aloud from my mouth
...Let's fall in love

Walking, with no real destination, forward...I pause
Legs locked up with stiffness and I discern it is you that I've encountered
Eyes collide from across the way
Head bowed in embarrassment as crimson heat spreads across my face
Unhurried I stroll towards you the seemingly figment of my imagination


"Can you speak?" I question of myself
Upon arrival to this destination I stare in admiration
Hand stretched to capture mine, I hear a symphony of words distantly
Cautiously my hand gravitates to yours and a new time is the present
No names yet exchanged, but more importantly expelled is this...
...Let's fall in love

Have a blessed night loves and thanks for takin the time to stop in a listen. MUAH

Love's Struggle

Hello loves!!! I decided it was about time that I shared another one of my poems with you all. This poem was written a long long time ago and is full of rugged and furious emotion. I love reflecting on old thoughts through poetry. Soooo...have a read and let me know what you think.



Love's Struggle

the past rips through my mind
leaving me blind to this pure love in front of my eyes.
head hurting I lash out continuously
seeing my future fade into the night, this night.

she talks to me telling me I'm losing him
my life grim with the probability of destroying we
contemplating all these words her words
the voice fades into silence as I type my minds reality

he's gone now, taking his light
I'm stupid right? and now its clear that my cheer dies
the lamp on the desk turns on and I wonder
the choices are two...stay and lose...or go, go and find him

tomorrow promises only some
it will be done and then home, proven or unhappily failed
I feel bolted to this spot by my pride
determination seeming unheard to my stubborn mind

arm over my forehead rest
my hand tests the fabric of my pillow frantically
he's back....his choice to make are two
to finish this he started or rip apart the chance with you

my eyes, they close heavy laden
aggravated I sit up frustrated on fetching my love
and then with one word.
he decidedly broke all, making the choice.

my anger boils over to tears
angst sears through my body. I leave...stupid stupid man
why did you decided so rashly
songs play my emotions into torment as a sit to listen

inevitably I must return
no concern seems to plague his mind, over it must be
Sauntering forward I stop
the handle, cold in hand I turn, open, release....and step in

Be Blessed Loves:

It's YOU...♥

The only word I think to describe my life thus far is WOW!!! lol. Usually my brain thoughts come in a more poetic form of jargon like marvelous, agonizing, prodigious, impoverished, stunning , solemn and dazzling...but there's something in those three letters that leaves far more space to add all those poetic exclamations and more to a life that can never truly be described in words. Does that make sense? Anywho, maybe one day, when know each other better, you and I can sit down and take the time to divulge our lives to one another...ups and downs, successes and failures, the good - the bad - and the ugly haha...but for now I'll start by sharing this small but significant thought. A thought that is the basis of who and what I was, am, and will be....and that my friend is the LOVE and MERCY of GOD.

As I'm sure you have gathered from my previous posts, the Lord has blessed me with an incredible love for all things that encompass music and poetry. YES YES YES lol...and my mind and soul cant help but see life applications mirrored in music or poetry. So, let me begin forming my thought. On my way home from picking up my mother from work (side note: I have the best mother a girl could ever possibly ask for, she is my inspiration, mentor, and best friend) a favorite song of mine started playing on my ipod. What was the song, you ask? Well, it was none other then COLDPLAY'S "FIX YOU." Now...let me give you a chance to listen to this amazing song before I continue...the lyrics are included in the video...ENJOY!!

IS THAT NOT AN AMAZINGLY HOPEFUL AND UPLIFTING SONG?!!!!
Now to my point: the LOVE and MERCY of GOD (my life's foundation)

The reason I love this song and am using it to describe my point, is that I feel this song speaks to the very relationship we have with our Lord.

The first, second, third and fourth verses,

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

mirror some of the things we face in our daily lives...failures, things we want but don't need, being exhausted and plagued with insomnia, sorrow, loss, heartbreak and all the emotions that come along with those experiences. Yes, we have all faced or will face some of these thing in life and we may feel like things may never get better ((but they do, they always do))...It's not a bad thing to have faced those experiences because they are the things that continue to make us stronger, the things that prepare us for what's to come.



and then there's the Hook,

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

This to me is ALMOST the epitome of God's love and mercy for us. No matter how far we go from the Lord, no matter how devastating a circumstance, no matter the cost, God will always welcome us home, take us in his arms, and fix us; as shown in the Parable of the Lost Son. Now, the reason I said this hook is ALMOST the epitome of God's relationship with us is found in the word TRY....there is nothing in this world that GOD cannot do, so the word, "try", limits his might and there is are NO limitations to God love for us John 3:16.




It's amazing how you can find parallels to life in almost everything...and I am blessed to have found such an amazing parallel in Coldplay's "Fix You"!!! I hope my sharing this small thought has brought you as much joy and blessings as it has me. I pray this post finds you well lovie.
xoxo :)

Unbelievably Grateful: Dedicated To All Of You ♥

This post is dedicated to all those who have showed me tremendous support in my life's endeavors, in friendship, in love!! I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU!!! ♥

God had graciously blessed each and every one of us with a plethora of gifts \ and a life, which we enjoy every day. So we should be thankful every day. GOD IS SO GOOD.

Below is a poem by an unknown author that really inspires me to strive for more GRATITUDE for all the things I have been blessed with and all the things I've have had to and will endure... for the combination of the two has made this journey so so worth it.

BE THANKFUL

♥ Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

♥ Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

♥ Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

♥ Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

♥ Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

♥ Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

♥ Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.

Again, I am extremely grateful for the love and support that all my blog followers and readers have showed me. I hope you have a blessed night loves!!! xoxo

Feel Free To...Stay Forever

Shhhhhh....just listen.

Just Me...Being Me
Good night loves!!!

[Untitled]

Grrr....Im stuck at home again on this frantically windy night, listening to my ipod and reading over old poems again. There is nothing I love more then spending time reflecting over life...and the thing that inspires my wonderings the most is listening to music and writing down my feelings. Im not terribly good at song writing, but I am pretty good at voicing my feelings (past & present) through poetry!! Below is a poem that I have written and love, but cant quite find the right title for. Feel free to read and give me your suggestions. I'd be honored!!!






[Untitled]

Yes, I thought I must forsake life
And just turn myself into stone;
The desert wind fully suited me:
No heart, no soul; just bone.

Yes, I thought it would be foolish to attempt To yearn for something again;
Yearning turns to need, and then
transfigures into pain.

I laughed at people falling in love
at those who believed in someone's word;
To make my happiness depend
On faith seemed quite absurd.

I lay alone and meditate
Sleeplessly in my bed,
So numb, so dumb, so icy, and cold,
Not realizing I was dead

And then you arrived and glistened
My life overflowing with snow
And saw the Spring of new life only love
Could appreciate and grow;

You made me feel so dazzling
I stripped off my cold, grey skin,
And opened the doors of my heart to you,
And, fearfully, let you in.

So now, my treasure, I am in love,
With everything that I've been through.
I know the ugliest of all the world,
And...above all, I believe in you.
Meisha Dwight

Dedicated to you...

Prayers of My Conscience

Every night provides a moment to reflect on the day that's past and your life as you see it now. Today has been a special day...One of relaxing, washing dogs, talking to my baby and ending with a lil tv, guitar time and hopefully sleep...but as of right now...my heart is reflecting and this is what it's speaking....



Guide me when my faith isnt faithful
Guide me when my strength isnt strong
Guide me when my peace isnt peaceful
Guide me when my right is wrong

Guide me with your patience when my patience is no longer
Guide me with your wisdom when the answers are indiscernible
Guide me with your presence when im feeling lost and desolate
Guide me with your spirit cause you are my only mentor, Lord.

These are the prayers of my conscience.




Welp lovies...Im off to bed. I enjoyed another day and enjoyed writing another post. I hope you enjoyed!!! *Be Blessed* xoxo

If I Never...Know This

Im here at home (opting to spend another night in rather then go out) and I decided that maybe it's time I share another passion of mine with you!! POETRY!! Being that I love music with ever fiber of my being, poetry (the lyrical quality of music) is also something that rests deep in my soul. Below is a poem that I wrote a couple years back...2008 to be exact...and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it.

If I Never...Know This

If I never again feel the rain trickle on my face in the spring
Or hear the sweet hum of the breeze through the trees
If I never again see the rays of sunlight reach for the earth thru the clouds
Or walk the soft land beneath my feet


♥ Know this:
You awakened my life to the joys of knowing the difference of loving & being in love.
You gave me the hope of a future bright and luminous.
You smiled at me and melted the walls of my icy concerns.
You are my best friend and the man I love.

If I never again laugh at the great humors in life
Or cry for those things that could never be explained
If I never again see the sunrise awaken the horizon to my eyes
Or watch that same sun say good night to that which it warms


♥ Know this:
I remember the first day you looked into my eyes and saw my soul.
I feel your arms around me and utterly protected even though you aren't always there.
I whisper your name in my sleep cause my mind is constantly on you.
I see you for the man you are today and the man you will be in the future.


If I never again get to sing of the blessings that God has bestowed
Or dance to the rhythm of a life ever changing
If I never again get the chance to see your smiling face
Or watch the way you effortless live, love, and learn


♥ Know this:
One day soon we'll fly away
One day nothing but the love we have will matter
One day we will look back at our lives together and smile. Just smile

And in closing, if one day never comes…
I will always and forever know you as my love
Always and forever
