Carry me over the threshold of home
into the future of life together.
Oh, Let me no more in loneliness roam
through wearisome roads and stormy weather.
For the road remains weary, rain still falls.
These burdens we've carried did not lighten;
but side by side we can handle it all,
and the thunderous storms do not frighten.
Please do not think this is a one way street.
That you must always be the one that's strong.
Not all days, but in the middle we meet,
fifty- fifty averaged our life long.
Take me in your arms, through the door, please do,
Then let's go back, and I will carry you!
Simply put it,
I want you
Please
Oh please
Say you want me too
I know you do
Said he to her
How can I ever refuse
Your voice
Over the phone
The sound waves that is carried
To me
Low and soft and sweet
His eyes
Deeply set,
Mysterious with a crinkle of a smile
Playfully cocky
The words interlacing into
Ceaseless conversations
Smooth as the silk sheets of the
Most exquisite Egyptian cotton
Calm as the tides kissing the shore
Into the night
Till the break of dawn
Somethings are too good to be true
Fifty fifty mix of fear and thrill
Fate?
Destiny?
I’ll take that bet my friend
Life’s too short
To be afraid to take the leap
And baby
I’m taking the leap
Open your heart to happiness
And in equal part to sorrow
They’re opposing sides
Of the same coin (no less)
As today is to tomorrow
The same holds true for jealousy
Whose counterpoint is affection
Both no more than branches
Of self-same tree
Who share soft shade’s protection
Love is no more than
Than the flip side of hate
And both lie but a heartbreak away
So guide your heart to happiness
Be generous with your affection
Let not hate decide your way
And your heart will provide protection
All things possess two qualities
What they are depends on you
Like twins with different personalities
And different points of view
And which side you pick…
Which or what you choose
It’s just a game of chance (no less)
You either win…or perhaps you lose
…It’s fifty-fifty at best!…
I asked my heart
Do you love her?
He says love, help, and save her.
My mind wonders!
After all that!!
All that were fifty-fifty
My heart replied.
Fifty foot waves cradled the old wooden boat
A doomed speck held on ocean gale breath
About to become splinters at any moment
Hurricane forces understand fragility
A chance for destruction is an option
Two bearded men tumble about on deck
Exchange stories about death
While going over board
Fishing expeditions are unpredictable
Meteorologists called for a fifty percent chance of rain
I’m not a sweetheart or an angel
I could get really rude
I’m not always in a bright mood
I admit I have a attitude problem
I get easily annoyed
I always listen to people over you
And I’m always paranoid…
I get very *****y
And you point out all of these…and I can’t understand why
Cause you’re most defiantly not the good guy
You get mad to quick
You’re the definition of a Hypocrite
You can’t keep your hands to your self… nor your eyes
Which knowing you, shouldn’t be a surprise
You’re controlling,
I can’t even have a boy as a friend without you knowing
Or going in for no reason
And your mos. def. a great actor
You had me fooled for a quick minute
I’m glad I never let my guard down for a second
I know I lied about ever loving you
But I never went behind you back and talked to your little cousin
Nigga you were bugging
I don’t know but maybe you think I’m dumb or stupid
But I’m smart enough not to dare go back out with you
But its not you nor me...its us
We just can’t be
I can be very *****y
And your just plain crazy
So in conclusion
Don’t try to put it all on me
Cause it was defiantly 50/50……
touching someone
that is the key
touching someone
is the key to me
to lean on my shoulder
as you did yesterday
yes, i am sure
that this is the way
for me to reach
for your hand
and you to grasp mine
to me that is to have
a little more of you
it is more than your hand
but part of your soul
i hold it as if it were pure gold
the story that is told
is poetry in motion
as lovers unfold
and enclose their notions
anytime anywhere
you know i'll be there
kind of devotion
each one knowing
what the other would do
run to me as i run to you
be with me as i am with you
reach for me as i reach back
nothing on this earth
can ever beat that
