The coming of Jezebel
She got no good for life
But sorrows rolls from
Her existence
She is a nemesis
About to fall
Her spirits rooms around
The world
Till justice are meant
To serve her kind
She is of a different brand
Yet she might be living
With somany of us men
She might be your wife
Your girlfriend
She might have owned your love
The world is turning around
Humans are also aliens
Today's
So be mindful
And be truthful to life
Treat her well
Treat you love
With truth and care
Else you might
Be also caught up with
The coming of Jezebel
(Remember she got no good)

I do not know?

your the one who makes me the person I want to become,
but lately I've been acting really dumb,
I keep hurting you in many ways,
we've been mad at each other for a couple of days,
I keep making you feel horrible pain,
but trust me I'm going insane,
i try so hard not to get you mad,
I try to give you the love you deserve to have,
the kind of love that makes you smile, the kind of love that last a while,
I want you to see how much I care,
but its up to me to take that dare,
I would go through needles and pins,
just so you can see I could be a good girlfriend,
I want to give you the love you give me,
so let me put you on lock,
just give me a key,
I will hold you and never let you go,
I'm gonna let my love for you finally show,
sweetie, you are my everything,
you make me glow,
so please stay with me forever,
and I'll do so.

“Monopoly - Fast Track Equations”
Razor sharp cut quite clear
He says Trust
She says Fear
Broken glass and hidden things
He says Respect
She says Trust
Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
Black Lies and Alibis
He says Truth
She says Respect
Innocence is shattered
All the children wept
Steel Cages, Monopoly and Chance Cards
He says Love
She says Lost
Flying Monkeys and Kangaroo Courts
He says Lost
You say, "Here’s the Road Map, I've got the Get Out Free Card"
You get behind the wheel
Take back your soul
Foot to the floor
Keep driving fast, not slow
Pass “GO”, Do not Look Back.
Girlfriend, little sis'ta, you are right on track.
(Lovejoy-Burton/March 2018)

Lyric
|
He has found himself much happier
In a life which no longer dictates
That he must be “himself”. She would rather
Go by a more feminine name, and I know
How much more comfortable she is in her
Newfound skin, the one that happened to have
Always been there. And in every movement,
As she swirls around her girlfriend, like a storm;
The woman who has accepted without question
Every stage of the transformation of her boyfriend
Into her current girlfriend. The idea of gender
Suddenly does not matter to her. To either
Of them. Because, I know what happiness
Looks like, and this love looks exactly like
My very own, the only kind I’ve known.
Because, I also know how often the children of
My generation have found themselves in
Defiance of their parents’ preoccupation
With providing their kin with a better life
A life on their terms of decency and familiarity.
I find we are all much happier
Providing our own definitions
Studying nature as it develops, naturally,
And finding happiness on our own terms
And based upon our own definitions.

I yet to relinquish more than your boot announcing thy arrival s there isn't enough land where I wouldn't follow you for I am your winter love. I will walk a thousand miles after your footprints in this beautiful s, now again and again, forever I follow thee willingly with nothing but my undying love Merry Christmas I meant "Will you marry me?" as he gets on one knee in the snow waiting for evolution

Wanna know what hurts?
Liking your best friend who has a girlfriend,
And she is not just any girl.
This girl is your friend,
You're not that close but still.
It hurts knowing even though they cant say a word to one another,
You and Him talk all the time.
But, he will always just see you as his best friend.
When your friend rub it in your face on how cute they are together,
Without knowing how its crushing you inside but you sit quietly and agree.
When her friends make fun of him and she laughs,
Oh, how she laughed.
But, you're there for him when he finds out.
He gets mad at her and says nothing.
Then makes excuses to ignore the problem.
Even though he doesn't want to show his face because of her and her friends,
You still tell him that it doesn't matter what she says it matters what he knows.
It hurts that you'll never call him yours,
This person who makes you wonder if someone could be perfect.
You never believed perfection existed till you met him.
But, hes not perfect perfect but perfectly flawed.
All those hours you talk,
All those memories you share,
All those things he knows about you,
But one thing he'll never really know,
How you actually feel.
And that's what really hurts

In one urban area in the Midwest, there lived a young, beautiful lady named A. She wanted to get married so young because she dreamed of having a dozen children.
One day, A met a young guy named B. They felt it's "love at first sight" and so they became girlfriend and boyfriend so early. Nothing too serious happened between the two during the eleven months of good relationship. On the twelfth month, B disappeared. A searched for B the whole month, but never saw him again.
A met a new guy, named C. They became closed so quick and spent eleven months of laughter and enjoyment. On the twelfth month, however, C died. A was brokenhearted and grieved one whole month. A said to herself that she doesn't want to fall in love again.
A month later, she met a different guy named D. A decided not to have a serious relationship with anyone anymore. Their relationship lasted a year and parted ways.
A met another guy, named E. She did the same thing. And every year thereafter, she just changed her boyfriend in the next twenty years -- meeting F, G, H, I... and Y. On the twenty-first year, A met Z. Their relationship lasted almost a year too.
A wrote on her diary everything about her previous relationships, good and not so good that she felt and experienced in her life. She even decided to publish her diary and keep it for life. When she called the publishing company she contacted for printing, she was asked to appear in person. It's the editor who requested her to come over.
When A met the editor, she was surprised. She met B again after twenty-five long years. And finally, A was married.

He felt the beads of sweat trickle down his forehead
He hoped she didn’t notice his nervousness
For months he didn’t utter a single word to her
She looked surprised when their eyes met
She didn’t expect to see him that day
Trying not to gasp she felt the earth move beneath her feet
It was like something out of the movies
Everything around them disappeared
The people, the house, the trees, the ground
All she could see when their eyes met was his heart
She wanted him now more than ever
So much time had passed and many things had changed
Their love never wavered, she knew he could feel it too
Struggling to breathe, she could barely whisper a hello
“My girlfriend is asleep in the recliner,” he said pointing to the house
Staring at his muscular arms and wishing they were still together
She replied ‘okay, I can’t wait to meet her”
A car approached and the murmur of the engine startled them
He leaned his head into the passenger window and she heard him sigh
Her legs were trembling as she stood next to him
“Stop,” he said in a low voice, “we can’t go back to the past”
“I’m sorry I hurt you” She didn’t know where her reply came from
The words must have poured from that part of your heart few people ever see
“It’s okay, I am sorry we hurt each other”
It took every ounce of respect she had for him not to kiss his lips
She took a long deep breath and realized what she had to say
“If I can only have you in my life as a friend, it’s better than nothing at all”
His half-hearted smile let her know their love was still there

Blank verse

Met him at a strange time in my shaky life. I was facing heartache and pain, I was in so much need for love. Being a misfits bad girl, I needed to feel something real, someone by my side to feel validated. He was so beautiful an ever so charming. Importantly, broken.
Never realized, just how damaged he was as me when we met, but thats what made us click, isn't it? Got so messed up by this boy and didn't realize, it was him messing people up. He was my type. I fell so hard when he said, he loved me. Come to find out, he didn't mean it.
He became so anxious when he said it. He put his head in his knees for a minute, and god, I fell in love with him that night. Looking back, he never was. How can he love someone when his chest is empty an there's a space where his heart should be.
I was in his corner and believed in him when no one else did. I was in his every sense, expect I never was. He refused to see I was always there when his girlfriend wasn't. He told me all his fears and regrets, yet, he refused to hear mine.
What hurts the most is, he didn't wait to hear he was saving my life, but maybe that wouldn't be good enough for him. I tried real hard to be everything he needed. I wanted him to see, I loved him, an it still bothers me to my core that he still doesn't know.
I have a girl who thinks I'm more than enough. She loves every part of me, the parts he never could.
Lately, it's been killing me that I miss him. I lay in bed at night an want him next to me so we can talk the night away.
Is it possible to miss him an not want him back?
Just want to know, does he miss me back?

No this isn't a poem, but this came from my heart after my boyfriend sleeping with his ex girlfriend.. And I just thought I should share it with the world.
Last night she stayed up all night deciding what she should do.. Because you're a different man behind closed doors. She found out who the real you was.. You cheated, you lied, you talked bad about her, and you took her for advantage. She tried to be so good to you. She loved you... You broke her heart and now she has to move on. She put up with a lot for you, hoping you would change. She did a lot for you, knowing you wouldn't do anything for her. She doesn't wanna go but she just can't stay either. You continuously made the same mistakes and time after time she forgave you and pretended nothing ever happened. She was loyal and probably the best girlfriend you'd ever of had. She wanted a future with you but you ruined that. Your gonna miss the touch of her lips, being in her arms/her being in your arms, swinging with yalls little baby boy, watching him grow up while sharing every moment with her, and its really gonna suck when you realize you just lost everything... She figured after all the stuff yall had been through, you'd step up and be a Man. You'd be good to your woman.. Now it's to late. You went to far this time.. She hopes sleeping with another woman was worth losing the only woman who loved you like she did. She hopes you stay up late at night thinking about how you lost your family.. Your baby and girlfriend.. How you'll never see them again... She hopes you stay up late thinking about all the memories yall shared together, good and bad. Because she's not gonna think about them... She's gonna be positive.. Even if She feels like a piece of her is missing, even if she wants to shut down but she can't she's gotta be strong. She's got a baby to take care of whether she's dying inside or not. She's gonna keep her head up... She deserves to be happy

You wanted to have me as your girlfriend
Knowing that I was saving my body
For the man should I one day wed
I am fifty-six years old now
And still never been married
But I continue to believe it’s possible
As a little girl I dreamt
Of marriage and true love
Not sleeping with a boyfriend
My dream didn’t consider
To settle and play house
With someone who I’d never marry
You don’t believe in marriage
Yet you want all the benefits of marriage
Without making the vows
But you knew from the start
Where I stood with my body
It wasn’t a subject to debate
You said you understood
And that you would respect my boundaries
So how come you began to complain?
We kissed and held hands
I was content with the exchange
But you kept saying, “More!”
Your balls turned blue and hurt
What’s that got to do with me?
I’m not the one to fix it
With a distorted face
Your preoccupation with sex
My need for the subject to change
“How about this…” I suggest
“Go take a cold shower”
And you took offense in that
But you lied to me
You got yourself aroused
And wanted to have sex regardless
You created the problem
And blamed me for it
But It was not my problem
You resort to watching porn
The volume muted on your phone
And think I’m stupid
Your preoccupation for sex
Your boredom with my company
The attitude that you’re being deprived
The distance you created
Miles away in your thinking
As you watch naked women on your phone
Shouldn’t I be the offended
You are already unfaithful
We haven’t even been together one month
Now I have a problem
It’s dealing with your ignorance
You didn’t keep your word
But I kept mine
And I can’t tell you how glad I am
For doing it
I would have hated myself
If I gave in to your pressure
It would have been too late
You would have got
The one thing you wanted
And I would still be unmarried
You wouldn't have cared
As I’m left with the emptiness
Of knowing I betrayed my self
We are no longer together
But I still have my virtue
That comes with no regrets
What this has done for me
Is strengthen my resolve
I didn’t sell out.
Even if I never marry
I will remain faithful to my promise
Knowing the treasure I possess.
