If

If pain was my friend I would lie here and die--
If happiness was my enemy I would apologize every hour--
If heartache was my lover I would practice abstinence--
And if misery was my company I would always dream

I'M Not

I'm not happy because you made me
I'm happy because you didn't
 
I'm not sexy because you called me beautiful
I'm sexy because I was born this way

I'm not itelligent because you sent me to school
I just chose not to be stupid

I'm sure as hell isn't like you
because I'm wiser and I'm different

Sometimes

sometimes, i have no clue what i'm doing
i look at the clock and just stare
sometimes, i feel a sense of security doesn't exists
and other times that sense is there
sometimes, my eyes talk before my voice is exposed
so i sit back and just litsen
soemtimes, my today is tomorrow
so i take my time to live

You Tell Me.................

is this feeling that your feeling normal
are the trees moving to it's own rhythm
does your hair stand up from shock
are your nights cold and alone
is the grass the usual green
is the sound in your ear the very same
does your head hurt when you raise it high
are the clouds grey instead of white
do you repeat what you've said yesterday
is it too much for your own good
do you find multiple areas of blame
as you follow your own steps to walk

are you angry at the memories
is the night far too gone
does your hand shake with nonsense
as your eyes become as one
is there any room left to feel
does your breath impower your lungs
does pain feel that relaxing to ignore
are you awake from your previous fall
do you analize your every thought
is the area in which you stand a blur
do you understand the meaning of life
as you embrace what your heart has took

A Dedicated Lover

baby let me run my tears on your chest
touch me here and I'll caress
for I'm loving all of everything you do
just make it last the whole night through
all i want is to call your name
kiss me here oh yes I'm loving this pain
for your eyes have not yet lied
and your fingers have not touch another
i now know what it feels like to be loved by a dedicated lover

Seduction Has Taken Over

It's sad to say 
that seduction has taken over
Blinded by the man
and constantly getting messed over
small footsteps of grief 
and unfolded memories of pain
She began to weap 
for that new love 
who bought her constant pain
With suicidle thoughts 
that crossed her mind
Her eyes still in tac 
While thinking shes blind
It's sad to say 
that seduction has taken over
Blinded by the dark 
she seem to have lost her way
Touched by a system 
of ordinary single flames
She then pointed the finger 
knowing she was the one to blame
Reactions of lust 
and unfamiliar faces
Unwanted feelings 
that touched her many places
It's sad to say 
that seduction has taked over
Fingerprints of hickeys 
and french kisses denied
She begun to realize that 
she something she needed to decide
Faults of truth 
and lies of good faith
Confused and misused 
is what she had on her plate
Oh yes, nevertheless 
seduction has taken over

I Am Me

I'm a cool calm woman
I get my strength from within
I thrive on others laughter
and begun my search before I was here
I'm a down to earth sista
and I make no place for games
I play hooky with ignorance
and bring my people no shame
I'm a ranger to mother earth
and a teacher to all man kind
better yet I'm the smooth taste to red red wine
I'm more healthier than most 
and much wiser than plenty
I have no problem with the end
but would rather the beginning
I'm a force of nature 
I recken to be dealt with
I'm a hunger to your mind
and the fullness of your belly
I'm 100% human
I'm expected to be a failure
I kiss the wind with my thoughts 
and I walk my heart
I don't pretend to understand
Because knowledge was always around
I look with my fingers
and I listen with my eyes 
as I walk along these grounds
I feel trembles with my ears
and I'm loved because I'm kind
I'm a piece to a puzzle thats already in place
I have never been broken
many have tried, but have failed along the way
I'm a dictionary more like a thesaurus
I always have meaning to all my tomorrows
I'm never thinking of just myself
but others as well
I know it's a tough world
I really need no one to tell
I'll never walk the roads alone
For I have many that do care
My head will always be held high
because I'm a blessing upon a blessing
I understand the purpose of an outcome
and fail to reject who I am
For I am me, I am me, I am me

He Is Better Than Anything At All...

I awoke today with nothing on my mind. Nothing at all. Not even "wow that was a great 
dream". It was nothing. Speechless to my own actions, I then rose out of bed and walked 
into the bathroom. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and combed my hair. Still i had 
nothing to say. Nothing at all. Not even "damn I'm cute". It was nothing. Speechless to my 
own reaction. I then went into my room and changed my clothes. There I noticed that I had 
nothing to wow my self about. No man, no sex, no real friends, no emotions to my reality. I 
had nothing, nothing at all. After changing my clothing I walked into my livingroom. I noticed 
that there was no laughter, no happy family, and no good morning baby did you sleep well. I 
had nothing, I felt nothing, and I needed all. I'm a loner with a reality thats only a dream. As 
I sobbed in my lonliness, and stumbled in my sorrows. I noticed that I did have something 
that most people didn't have at all. "God", I had Him, and He is all that I need.

It's Love

I love when you make love to me
It's like extacy, eternity, destiny
I love when you are touching me
It's like evrything I want and need
Your my King and I'm your Queen

Something about how you
wanna carress me, undress me
love me 
never leave me
makes me wanna call your name
three times
more times
six times
we times
love equal infinity
unlike no other
Please time 
we take time 
they time is like our time
slow wine
grind like
feel right
make love tonight
lets set the mood right
cause we like
making music and keeping it right....

I Am God

who are you to judge
or call me a name i've never heard
who are you to ask of me
when I can't remember what I've learned
who are you to touch me
and tell me sweet nothings in my ears
who are you to know what I'm thinking
when I have the slightest clue who I am
who are you to dress me 
and swamp me with mountains of riches
who are you to feed me
when I'm allergic to almost everything
who are you to walk with me
when I would rather be to myself
who are to protect me
when I'm failing with my health
who are you?

"I AM GOD"
