i never pictured you as my dream lady
nothing about you is perfect in my eyes
you are nowhere near my type
your personality and outlook on life is so totally opposite of mine
in a former lifetime of mine, we would pay each other no mind and pass each other by without even a hint of a glance
however God had other plans, and the worlds of our lives have not been the same since
i never thought i would learn so much more about life and love and the love of life through your inspirational influence
i never thought that it would feel so right to be so completely wrong
now here you are sleeping soundly here in my arms
now here i even more surprised and shocked at how much more i am loving you loving me
a slight smile comes unexpectedly to my face at the immediate realization that i do not intend to change one solitary thing....

Rhyme
|
Inspired by Kath Walker, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Emily Dickinson
Ella you captured me
with all of yours I read
Curled up with all your poems
How they touched my heart and head
Though some they may not agree
Hence they were left behind
Your character was flawless;
With all that you had signed.
Emily I do begin
To search my very soul
Deeper now with all expressed
You always showed control.
When thoughts of you
And all I feel
Clouds roll away in space
Though life and death and how so strange
You always kept your grace.
Aunty Kath you mesmerised-
Many who did read
Educated, solidated
Poetry of seed.
Igniting stories into print
Leadership prevailed
So so strong and all along
With all the words detailed.
Who would I be if weren’t for three
And many more I read?
Compelling such emotions
Academically ahead.
Uplifted me with poetry
To ponder such well versed
To read between the lines of three
Great women, how they nursed…
Life, Love, Humanity
All which we’ve all been blessed
Mothers, Aunties, Sisters and
Immortal Poetess.

Lyric

Love is like a Lollipop
you don't know what's inside until you taste it and describe
If it's Cherry, you won't have to worry because he's always merry
and very imaginary
If it's Chocolate, your ready for wedlock
because you've finally meet your Camelot
If it's Cinnamon, he's hot and ready for a short stop
because for you he has forgot
If it's Grape, put on your brakes he might be great
but he isn't straight
If it's Strawberry, you've won the lottery you'll have his property
and he won't commit adultery
If it's peppermint, you'll have a saint his charm will make you faint
and you'll never have complaints
If it's Caramel, you'll have a professional who's always rational
and very inspirational
If it's Licorice, you'll have a plagiarist who's always gibberish
and thank he's a theorist
If it's Sour, ladies beware he's always in despair
and will always need repairs
So don't be shy have a taste and give it a try
you might be pleasantly Surprised!
