Born in the summer,
with curly, black hair.
You had stolen my heart,
Exposed what was there.
You made me a mommy,
Tiny and perfectly made,
My heart outside of my body,
My life for yours I would trade.
I watched as you grew,
And the years went by too fast.
You became a young woman,
I wished your childhood would last.
You were not only my child,
But also my friend.
You'd call me for everything,
I prayed it never would end.
I thanked God for His gift,
Of giving me you.
He must have seen you were perfect,
Because He needed you too.
I've been shattered and broken,
My soul now missing a piece,
My heart shuttered and bleeding,
No more joy and no peace.
I’ve cried so long and so hard,
Begging God for you to return.
But death is too final,
I’m beginning to learn.
You were sweet, kind and gentle,
And loved by so many.
People said you were flawed,
But I didn't see any.
The days have seemed longer,
The nights now stretch on.
I want to reach out,
But forget you are gone.
I’m thirsty
It’s hot
I order a cold, refreshing soda.
I can hardly wait
My tastebuds excited as they wait for the glorious liquid to envelope the inside of my mouth
Anticipating the rush of little bubbles exploding with fervor as they make their way down my throat.
The satisfaction of feeling the cold fluid colliding with my internal thermostat, plunging the reading back to decency
Refreshing my ever parched and dry soul
Only to swallow a flat, warm soda.
That has been my experience knowing you.
When the storm is cold and strong
and I feel as I'm going under
far out into the northern sea
The ice cold wind
stinging my wet cheek
Some days the sea takes me
in waves of pain and heavy thoughts
Bitter storms will come and they will pass
no matter how I deal with them
Right now the sky is dark gray

Brutally honest
I can't hide my shadow
I can't be silent
I love to express my mind
So let me speak
Am not perfect
But I got a mind too
Don't get offended
With my words
When am loud to say
The truth
Cos I know most times
My words are
Brutally honest
Brutally beautiful is this lady before me
Red fox of desires hallows her body
Udder of males she fills with biting milk
Twinkling eyes prick trembling hearts
All who see her are traumatized by her curves
Little oval lips spear cheeks of daring men
Legs on the move paralyzes all imaginations
Yabbering, her shadow bursts in silent sermons
Behind, her mountains speak obscene words
Eye-lashes flog men’s eyes into shyness
Above her, hang swords of romantic doom
“Ugly” flies into hiding once she’s around
Tight attire assaults holiness in any male
Invitation to her side triggers tears of joy
Fire in hell tolerable; her beauty intolerable
Unimaginable are her shy and piercing looks
Lying profile chops any man’s self-control
Bless all the world's children
Between earth and the stars
Believe that you are loved
Beauty grows in the heart
Blown sweet strawberries kiss
Brushed cotton angel wing
Breathe deeply start to fly

My darling enigma, my dove
You’re the epitome of my love
Your smile shines at me pearly white
Pale skin shines and glints in the light
Silken locks, obsidian flow
Eyes just like ice, crystalline glow
Peals of laughter ring like a bell
Enchant me; I’m under your spell
You walk with a musical flow
Tiptoeing with softness through snow
But, alas, you open your mouth
Utter tripe spilling out
If only you’d keep your mouth shut.
