I always knew that love would come find me someday
But never did I know that it would be you who was headed my way
You caught me off guard and took me by surprise
But you simply captivated me, the same way you do when I look into your eyes
It's true that every good and perfect gift is from above
You were presented to me as a beautifully packaged gift full of humour, talent, intelligence, beauty and love
"It isn't finding the perfect person but learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"
We all have our flaws but when I view you through my eyes, perfection is all I see
From when you laugh to when you're upset, I still love the little things you do
Especially hearing you laugh and seeing your nose wrinkle the same way mine does too
Coming into this relationship has been hard at times but we've made it through
I know as long as we're on this journey together, there's nothing that we can't do.
Sometimes I wonder if what we have is too good to be true
Too scared to get my heart broken and scared of the thought of losing you
But in the end, I trust in the author and perfecta of what I believe
Because what we ask for in Him, we in return shall receive
"Where your treasure is, your heart will be also" is how the saying goes
I may not know what tomorrow may bring, for God is the only one who knows
The one thing I do know is that you are my one and only
A treasure in my heart that I want to devote my whole life to completely
I know I don't need to prove my feelings to know they're true
Because what I've known in my past, doesn't come close to the experience I've shared with you
I've had the experience of being in relationships before
However, this is the first time I've been truly happy... I couldn't ask for anything more
It's an honour to know that I am yours, as you are mine
And I trust God bought us together in His beautiful time
For now, I'll be waiting patiently for that day when we'll be together
That precious moment in time when I'll say, "it's you that I want to be with forever"
God makes everything beautiful, precious and new
Just as beautiful and precious as the day will be….. when I look into your eyes and say, "I Do"
I met this stranger the other day....
I met a stranger just the other day,
Wandering the halls,
in a hospital’s way.
My mind was spinning,
feeling so low,
But this kind soul made my troubles go.
Gave me comfort with a heart of gold,
Words like magic,
warmed me from the cold.
Cheered me up,
just bein' kind,
An hour late ‘cause I was cryin’,
lost in my mind.
Kindness can surprise,
catch you unaware,
But let it in,
if their soul’s laid bare.
This stranger helped me in the night,
Their kindness a beacon,
shining bright.
I’m in a happy love,
with feelings so true,
Talkin’ ‘bout my loved ones,
tears just flew.
Their love and support,
my solid ground,
But speakin' of them,
tears came down.
Sometimes you need someone when you're feelin’ low,
A soul to lift you up,
let your spirit glow.
This stranger gave an hour,
showin' they cared,
Listenin' to my story,
knowin' they were there.
No matter the sex,
male or female,
Who cares about labels,
let them prevail.
If they’ve got a good soul,
that's what counts,
Inside is where true worth mounts.
Even bought my book,
'Fate is Inexorable, Fighter Mode',
Such a big heart,
on this heavy road.
Hope we meet again,
not to be estranged,
This stranger’s kindness,
my thoughts rearranged.
So there I was,
jarred back,
feelin' pain,
Stranger came out to the pourin' rain.
Asked if I was okay,
seemed surreal,
I was thinkin' the same,
in a dream so real.
Met this stranger just the other day,
Helped me out,
listened to what I had to say.
I spoke incoherently,
they stayed true,
Hung on every word,
before we said adieu.
Unexpected moments,
caught me off guard,
Hate cryin' in front of folks,
it’s so hard.
In my wheelchair,
feelin' three feet tall,
Talkin’ to a stranger,
emotions did fall.
As we parted ways,
I felt a glow,
A stranger's kindness,
now I know.
In a world so cold,
they brought the heat,
With their big heart,
made me feel complete.
Thank you,
stranger,
for the time you gave,
Your kindness and care,
the way you stayed.
In this life’s journey,
we crossed paths,
Now my heart feels the warmth that lasts.
My ideal love is a love that catches me by surprise.
The realization of intelligent things and conversations that literally take us anywhere.
My ideal love is a love that expresses ideal.
The ramifications that influence us to be who we really are in front of who we are.
A love that doesn't mind bargin shopping and putting together hundred dollar outfits that really cost $10.
The reality that its the most simplest of things that are most significant.
A spontaneous love that doesn't mind the predictability of living today before exploring the mystery of tomorrow.
Here after the after thought that we exist in the past as well as the present simultaneously.
If ever in need I'll do my best to provide all that I can for an ideal love.
Through these actions I believe the true miracle is achieved.
An ideal love that is beyond ideal.
Who sets the where and how we meet, the institutions of bliss where the masses are limited to love and longing.
To find patience and compassion sitting on the front lawn on the same institution.
As long as she provides a kiss that can send me outside of my own thoughts, and pull me closer to hers.
My ideal love wouldn't be based on a B.E.T movie.
A single expression that summarizes a scorned woman letting go.
A cliff note of lust soon as the next sceen fades to black.
Her panties pulled down not knowing the dude is secretly abusive.
140 minutes gone by to realize the last 5 mins were the ones that made her truly happy.
The woes of love.
My ideal love is a woman built with ambition but with a heart big enough to understand that without sacrifice nothing is truly accomplished.
A culture made in truth, ripped off by those who ignore that struggle is what makes us who we are.
The courage to walk out in front and be who we really are.
A real woman that doesn't mind lounging around the house that knows whom Budda and Huey Newton was.
This revolution of ideal starts the moment I realize that I never stood a chance.
The surprise of her lips against my cheek.
I drink from this remedy each time you open your lips.
So in silence I gasp.
As you caught me off guard,
My ideal love
* Many years now since this very talented, very HUMAN guy left us … those holes never fill, and he is sorely missed. (This is a form I invented called “Tredicum Plus”. *
~
my brother ...
you caught me off guard -
of all those who struggle like we do
in darkness, with the
hideous demons that lurk
I was sure the victory was yours -
that the knight was astride
his steed, steadied -
armor shining bright in the sun
sword and shield, sharp and enduring ...
but alas, it seems the
devil wants the final
fiendish word …
long did I look to you
for strength ...
a flicker of light to guide
me through the murk -
the fog of pain and error and
fallibility that so often
gathers for those of us who
feel too deeply -
who see sensitivity as
more of a curse than a gift …
you understood that path quite well -
walked it many times
as I have …
you knew the beasts
that scratch at our ankles -
those shadowy minions that seek
to rake us into hell with every
step we take in redemption's course
but your light shined so bright!
you held it high and
proud for so long that I took
it for granted - depended on it …
and now that light is snuffed
the black is all the
more oppressive - all the
more glaringly heavy and deep ...
… and empty …
now the path
is twisted, obscured ...
and without the welcome of
your glowing spirit
it will henceforth be cluttered with
ambiguity and question -
each further step, taken in
hesitation and doubt …
tragedy, pain, sorrow, regret
their names matter not -
they wreak the same horrid havoc
and those ragged, merciless monsters
have claimed you …
aye, the sun will rise a wee bit
colder on the morrow, and life’s flavor
is now tinged with bitterness …
still, you left behind a torch of humble exuberance and vitality
and those of us who know the
treacherous paths of life -
those darkened 'parts unknown' -
will hold it high in your memory
and give the devil all he can handle ...
of your mischievous smile
your twinkling eye
and your fierce, fiery heart …
Rest In Peace, Tony.
I always knew love will
come find me some day
But never did i know that it
will be you who is headed
my way
You caught me off guard
and took me by surprise
Happiness and peace i feel
each time i look into your
eyes
It's true that every good
and perfect gift is from
above
Cos you were presented to
me packed with beauty and
divine love
You are like a dream come
true
The moment destiny
brought together me and
you
You brought light to my
dark world
Laying the foundation to
my dream world
It isn't finding the perfect
person that really matters
to me
Cos each time i look into
your eyes perfection is all i
can see
From when you cry to when
you laugh
From when we joke to
when we chaff
You made me realized how
lucky i am
Finding someone like you
who is as precious as a gem
Sometimes i wonder if my
feeling towards you is too
good to be true
Cos am so scared of the
thought of losing you
Being beside you feels just
right
And never will i let you out
of my sight
For i finally found someone
to fill the void in my heart
And make my wall of
loneliness to fall apart
Someone to bring me peace
of mind
and fill the empty spaces in-
between the fingers in my
hand
A heart to love and hand to
hold
Someone to cherish and
behold
I may not know what
tomorrow may bring
All i just want is for your
finger to wear my ring
It's an honor to know that
am yours as you are mine
We are connected like the
bone to the spine
I don't need to doubt my
feelings i know they are true
Cos they led me right in
finding you
I want to hold your hand
and walk a million mile
Looking at your face
starring at your amazing
smile
You occupy a special place
in my heart
And nothing in this world
will make my feelings for
you depart
I love you so much to the
point of going craze
For you are so special and
amazing
I have spent half of my life
searching for you
Let me spend the
remaining half of it being
with you
That very first time that we met, I thought that I've met my match, I thought that this is it.
Walking towards me, as we locked eyes,
your messages and pictures weren't telling no lies.
The way that you grabbed my hand, and pulled me in close, feeling your breath battling with mine,
as our lips finally touched, I believed that we honestly stopped time.
Our first emotional embrace, caught me off guard,
try as I may, I knew I was going to fall hard.
When you were holding my hands, your affections on public display,
made me feel a love that was never going to be felt like that ever again.
I'd be walking, and doing a bit of window shopping,
I'd glance at you and I'd catch you often...
staring at me, with a smile that you could not hide,
gave me a love, that could never be denied.
A feeling of utter disbelief, that a woman as beautiful as you is in love with me. You made me feel on top of the world, just as powerful as superman, an invincibility that would forever stand so proud.
Feeling what we felt, knowing nothing between us could ever go wrong... Knowing that our love was going to be strong.
My feelings for you, I knew I could not deny.
A true love, that would never lie.
Then came the day when you became ill.
Every day, I'd tell you I'd forever love you still.
We went on our last, evening walk, along the beach,
watching as the sun and ocean would meet.
I laid back, with you in arms,
knowing I'd forever, never let you be harmed.
I ran a finger, slowly across your face,
wishing I could forever, hold you in this embrace.
You turned your head, and whispered my name,
saying how much, you're in love with your man.
You kissed me slightly, as you softly squeezed my hands,
closing your eyes, as your hands gently hit the sand.
My heart beats faster, as tears starts to build in my eyes.
Thanking God that I met you, and that your heart was mine.
As I hold you, so very tight by the sea,
wishing I could tell you one more time just how much you meant to me
I always knew love will come find me
But I never though it would be today
And I never expected to feel like this
When love did come my way
But love has caught me off guard
And it just took me be surprise
And I fall madly in love with her
With just one look her eyes
And everything about her is so perfect
Like a beautiful angel from above
She is like god gift of perfection
with beauty, intelligence, humor and love
I never have believe in reincarnation
Or that there is another life before
but i know that i have loved her
For a million lifetimes or more
I can’t explain what I’m trying to say
About how I feel and about my emotions
It’s like she is a ship sailiing
And my love is the great big ocean
She is like the sun, the moon, the rain,
The water that makes flowers the grows
But everything about her so is perfect
From her head to her cute little toes
And just like the wind will keep blowing
And the waves must comes to shore
I, m know that I have love her
For a million life times or more
And some days will bring stormy weather
We know the sky can’t always be blue
But as long as we face life together
There’s nothing that we can't do
We don’t know what will come tomorrow
God is the only one who knows
But I love her more than words can say
And every day the affection of my love will shows
Every thing about her is a dream comes true
I always prayed, keep hope and believe
And she is just an amazing miracle
For all I ask of god, today in her I receive
And now that she is in my life
I wait patiently for the day we are together
For that moment to look in her eyes
And say I want to be with you forever
And is the first time I will ever been happy
And I couldn't ask for anything more
Because I’m with the girl that I have love
For a million life times before
What I'd like to give you is an ounce of my cologne.
It promises not to turn heads, but to keep level heads.
Trust me when I say, "I've been around the bin a few times".
Word to the wise, "If it turns your head, keep a level head".
We all have heard it said, "Kids say the darndest things". Fact is,
we hear darndest things from all of us. Fact is, my wife said something
the other day that caught me off guard, surprising me just a bit.
Returning home with a completed list of 'honey dos', I shared
with my wife a little incident I felt would be of interest to her.
I said, "Honey, I passed a lady on the walkway whose perfume
was so strong with an aroma that stayed with me several steps
past her. I paused for a moment and started to say something,
but remembering the kind of world we presently live in, I refrained
and continue on. Yes, I wanted to compliment her, and thinking of you,
I wanted to ask the name of her perfume; but she was a perfect stranger,
and I was afraid". My wife replied by saying that I should have followed
through with the compliment and secured the name of the product. My wife is the sweetest person with the most beautiful smile, and is much better with
people. So, her reply to me was just 'a little bit' surprising-not a lot. It's true that, maybe, this story would have had a most dramatic ending had I secured
the name, purchased the perfume and brought it home to my lovely wife. All the same though, I prefer the story just the way it is.

He was six years old at his dying mother's side.
Only when she slept he broke down and cried.
He had to hide his fears of what was to be.
How scared he was, mama didn't need to see.
Mama had been sick going on three years now.
She knew she must help him make it through some how.
With her strength fading she called him to her side.
"If life is a carnival son, I'm at my last ride."
"I have something to tell you, to remember for all times."
"You are all each other will have in the coming hard times."
"Just hold each other close and remember my love for you."
"It will help to ease the pain, it will help to see you through."
The day came when his Mama had to go.
He had so many questions, so much he wanted to know.
"Why did Mama have to die?" "Who's gonna bake the Christmas pie?"
"Who will comfort me when I cry?" "Are you gonna die?"
I squatted down in front of him a tear in my eye.
"An unfortunate part of life, son, is each of us will die."
He'd caught me off guard, I didn't know what to say.
I hoped he understood. I hoped... and I prayed.
I took him in my arms and held him oh so tight.
I told him that I loved him and that everything would be all right.
"Mama's in heaven now she's looking down on you and me."
"She's with us in our hearts where forever she will be."
"She sees you when you're crying she sees you when you're playing."
"She knows what you're thinking she knows what you're saying."
"She sees into your heart and knows how much you love her."
"So let's have happy thoughts of Mama and the time we had together."
The days have turned to weeks, the weeks to months and years.
Our thoughts of Mama are happy, they hold away the fears.
She still fills our hearts with memories. Memories of her love.
Memories of Mama sent down from heaven above.
Yesterday in a bar, a boy asked me if I had a good relationship with my father
His question caught me off guard and before I could respond
his voice cut through my own thought process
He interrupted me, laughed and said “daddy issues?"
My so called daddy issues stem from a man who never earned that title.
Society paints this phrase with a dirty brush, telling men to seek out these women because to them they are not full women
They are broken.
And broken women make for the best hunt
Easy to catch, and always searching for affection.
This is for all the the girls who have been abandoned by their own blood line
Who have been beaten by their own blood line
Who have been sexually assaulted by their own blood line
This is for us
For the second… 3rd… and 4th glances behind my back, making sure that I’m not being followed.
For my obsessive habit of locking and yanking and locking and yanking and yanking and yanking my bedroom door to be positive no one can get in.
For the fact that you are out there somewhere, a free man while I am forever shackled to the memory of your face, your voice, your touch
For the hours and hours of therapy coaxing me to unlock those memories and let it all out, while my insides scream keep it down, bury it deep, don't think about, don't talk about. Because if you talk about it, its real.
For questions like why me? and how many others? I’ll never get the answers too.
For my unborn little girl I’m afraid i'll never meet,
because the thought of giving myself completely to another person is the most terrifying thing I can think of.
For the little girl I never got to be
