Yet again such troubles
Speaketh as words
The surges of evening
Make darkest the day
As if expectance is deserved
_______________________________
If you can withstand my
Ooh auh wollies
And my auh we oohs
Then I can deal with your
Auh she mollies til we
Say I do
Got auh nutta one
Tryna get tween
She and me
Baby keep me near
Got auh nutta one
The buck stops right here
She's my lady
Someone I love sincre
If the nights are for sleeping
I will say I do
Conflicting resolutions
Solved tween me and you
She likes meddling
She likes getting in
Others affair
She tells a story
I feel like I'm right there
If it's about us together
Then I am all in
Marrying a special woman
One I call my best friend
Got your gossiping
Right here in my hand
All ways got some thing
Only you know
My wife is my friend
Stop underming me
My gal is right here
Those you better hands
And snears and sleases
It all stops right here
Her eyes shone in the evening light
Capturing the magic of the setting sun
And releasing their own beauty
No, she cannot hide it
Nor would she ever want to
The power of the heavens and beauty of her heart
They combine to create a woman never seen before
One of unlimited grace and beauty
As well as the strongest spirit of any before her
The world should feel lucky that she chose
This time in this space of this reality
A time we needed someone just like her

LRET
If not for my mother
I would have been in jail
She cool me down
Everytime them give me hate
She makes me eat
Even when I don't earn
Steadily supplying all I need.
The things
I lack
Are the things
I never asked from her
She's always giving
Unconditionally
Without seizing
She gives all she has for nothing.
None like a mother
Her love is genuine and tender
Staying with you in any weather
Always render
Support whenever you need her
Fighting your opposition without surrender.
It's heartrending to lose a spouse
A very special woman who shares the house
With your body, your heart and your soul
It's very hard to feel losing your whole
Your being, everything you have
It's utterly sad and strange to feel that five
Of your best fingers are cut and numb
It's inconceivable to feel lost and dumb
For quite a while. Losing a darling spouse
Is like being swamped in a toxic niche
Full of bees and ants. A greedy leech
Has sucked up your blood and your mind
And your brain is not feeling too kind
It's painful to lose a wonderful spouse
Your world has turned upside down
You cannot smile. You cannot frown
Everything is different, even your house
Tears are flowing like a river in the summer
You feel hopeless and helpless. And it's somber.

Bubble Bong Betty with high heeled shoes
Ate too much candy but never touched booze
Trotted around showing all of us her fancy stuff
Her voice was melodic, not a bit sharp or rough
She had a way that was soft but also pretty unique
Johnny said Bubble Betty is the kind of woman I seek
We all agreed she was a pretty special woman for sure.
She left the planet, however returning to her planet DeJour.
She was married to her sins;
Before a man came to her;
She was happily living;
Beyond the shores;
A mentor came unto her;
An elder state mother;
And her sister
Together they were sisters by the sea;
One and one and the other;
Embracing each other
;
They were unbound and now free;
Blessed in assurance now all untouched;
There was a man whom came to the well;
This is the place where the woman fell;
This man told me who and all that I was and am;
To my surprise He knew my life;
One and one and the other;
Embracing each other;
They were unbound and now free;
Blessed in assurance now all untouched;
This strange man told me of who I am;
He told me all about me;
I and I am me and my sisters
And this one special woman
We now three, we so be, we are
One and one and the other;
Embracing each other;
They were unbound and now free;
Blessed in assurance now all untouched;
Together here we be we’re sisters by the sea ;

Majesty and Grace, Duty and Forbearance,
Yet who was the woman behind the smile,
A mother, wife whose youthful preference
To live a simpler life among the rolling hills of her beautiful green isle.
Yet fate plays games, it's choices rarely random,
In a time of need this girl it deftly summoned,
The world she knew requested to abandon
To fast become a Monarch worldly wise and seasoned.
She heard the call and from it she did not shrink,
Swearing to reign with wisdom and intent,
To her dying day to be that constant link
A caring hand, a guiding light, until her flame was spent.
Seventy summers so very fast went by,
Her presence always at our side,
Now she's gone and with Angels does she lie
Her soul at rest gently departed on an ebbing tide.
We will miss her, and yet in our hearts does she remain,
Memories of a truly special woman and a Queen,
Forever shall we the knowledge of her deeds retain,
History the judge of how truly special she has been.
When I adopted you in 2013, Chihuahua dogs quickly became my favorite breed.
You died seven hundred and thirty days ago and it hurt, it hurt very much indeed.
I named you after a very special woman who was my mother.
When it comes to owning a dog that's as terrific as you, there can never be another.
I knew you would eventually die but I didn't know that your death would be so near.
Your death occurred twenty-four months ago today, you've been dead for two years.
You were my dog and the love I felt for you can't be measured.
Pets don't live forever, while they live, they should be treasured.
Every pet owner will eventually have to face the pain that I experienced on that dreadful night.
You were like a daughter to me and the thought of losing a pet sure does cause a lot of fright.
I see dogs being sold for over three grand at a pet store in the mall.
But they aren't as special as you were because you were my baby doll.
[Dedicated to Agnes (2011-2020) who died two years ago today on July 11, 2020]
My heart is broken I have no one- no one has me
I feel like I'm shunned yet I haven't gone out
In search of a soulmate
For myself loathing self whom I hate philistine and I dream
That one day I will go out and search out there I'll find
a special woman who will want me to be hers

SHE'S A SPECIAL WOMAN AS I SEE HER HEART-
I see her heart
Also there's love in her eyes
Will endeared
Her passion for the Lord Our God
Also there's love in her eyes
As she walks with Him
Her passion for the Lord Our God
Not just any man can be with her
As she walks with Him
Will endeared
Not just any man can be with her
I see her heart

PANTOUM POETRY TYPE
TO THE WOMEN I WAS SERIOUSLY INVOLVED WITH, I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR MY ABSENCE
OF LOVE...
I MYSELF NEVER EXPERIENCE THE MEANING FOR THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE LACK THERE OF...
FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS LOVE WAS NOT...
IT WAS LUST, A DESIRE TO OBTAIN YOUR SEXUAL SPOT...
I CONFUSED MYSELF WITH THESE FEELINGS NOT FULLY UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE...
MY IMMATURE MIND HAS GROWN AND I PUT THAT IGNORANCE OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE DISTANCE...
I AM NOW CAPABLE AND PREPARED TO LOVE THAT SPECIAL WOMAN THE WAY SHE DESERVES...
THE LOVE THAT I HOLD WITHIN ME, IS A LOVE THAT WILL BE FELT AMONG THIS EARTH...
SHE WILL BE MY QUEEN AND I WILL TREAT HER LIKE THE MOTHER OF MANKIND SHE IS...
FOR NATIONS SHE HAS BIRTH AND BLESSED I AM THAT SHE HAS COME FROM MY RIB...
MY GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES, NO WE ARE MADE IN HIS IMAGE...
WE ARE BEINGS OF LOVE, HIS LOVE, THAT WAS SACRIFICED FROM THE BEGINNING...
I PROMISE TO GIVE HER MY ALL AND BATHE HER IN TRUTH...
RELAX HER MIND FROM WORRY AND MASSAGE HER TO THE ROOT...
SHE WILL BE MY BETTER HAL, MY PARTNER IN SOUL...
MY SPIRIT WILL LIE WITH HER EVEN UNTO THE GRAVEL WE GO...
The life of a fire wife is an interesting one indeed.
I'm proud to stand by a man who helps those in need.
On call 24/7, fire radio's always on
Morning, noon and night some calls come before dawn.
For each call that he goes on, as he walks out of that door
an "I love you" and a quick kiss, unsure if I'll ever get more.
Each call that comes through is somebody's very bad day
Each call that he goes on "Bring them home safely" I pray
At home alone I wait, listening to the fire radio
"Firefighter down" are the words that I fear so
I ask myself "is it him?" is it the love of my life?
Will he make it home to his son and to me, his wife?
The life a fire wife can be a lonely one
Making plans together and for a lot of them he's gone
Off to fight fires on yet another day
Knowing I need to let him go, but really wanting him to stay.
Sometimes supporting the kids all alone
Mending and tending the seeds that you have sown
Not every woman can live in this life.
It takes a special woman to be a fire wife.

Her name is Eve and she is a special woman
she's got a heart of gold & a smile full of love
she's an artist of extraordinary talent, a poet
who shares her verses of excellence-divine
Today is her Birthday so help me to wish her
a day full of blessings and true family bonds
she's a nana who adores her little grandson
and she deserves years of health and beauty
Eve, I hope tonight your basking in the light
and I do believe Roper is blowing you kisses
I think he's smiling from above and beaming
so tell me its true and that I ain't dreaming...
The moon is shining a little brighter for you
and the stars are asking you to make a wish
Eve, I know your name means "she knows"
but I think it should also mean, " she glows"
Have a great birthday, know you are cherished
and that my love for you, will never diminish.
From Mystic Rose
She's so wonderful
oh oh I love her so
I love the girl
She who holds my hand
She helps me to understand
just how life can be so cruel
Always convincing me that I'm not a fool
I'll always love her
That special woman
Who makes me what I am
Faith In Love is so awesome
I'm always ...
She helps me to understand
Need her that girl she helps me live my life out easier
As a man I'll always love her
I am so fond of
I am she's so wonderful
I love this girl I love her so
She who holds my hand
Helps me to understand
My love helps me understand

One.
There could never ever be
No greater love than I have for thee
Destined to meet and so it be
Because I am just as much part of you
As you are you are as much
Part of me
As one together
We walk Life’s highway
Hand in hand
I hope I make thee feel
A special woman
As you make me feel
A special man
A reflection of each other
Hearts bonded
With a a warm true love
Araldite inseparable and invincibly strong
Our love a perpetual circle
A gift from God
The Angels sweetest song
Commitment
And contentment
Forever will be
The pillars of the rest of our lives
Shared in eternity.
