Liveliness and the Spotlight

Liveliness and the spotlight 

She comes wearing the flashest 

All the young ones want to know if she is going to do anything on Friday night 

Everyone got a brother that she should date 

All of her friends are popular and smart 

She is the First Lady of her crowd 

Everyone's mother thinks she is so cute 

She got a good example for everything 

Liveliness and the spotlight 

She got the best answer in the room all the time 

Everyone likes her 

Everyone who got a brother, knows her 

She got a really sporty body and always dresses like a lady 

Liveliness and the spotlight

Vibrant Salon

Shoes were always, always a big thing,
On the major avenues.
Shoes were big, but bigger then ever- they were vibrant.
Vibrant, and full as Hollywood Avenue itself.
The avenue everyone who was anyone heard of. 
Hollywood Avenue .
It was Ms. Maam to Mrs. Vibrant Salon
The salon that “snap-fingers at, shoes” 
 
Vibrant Salon was like Capital Records, Capital Bank, the state capital-
 Too; high paid employment, beautiful men, women with big dreams and a lot of time 
to shop.
 
The entrance to the hottest car parking lots, hotels and restaurants
Vibrant Salon had it all, absolutely-
They had young girls who wanted boyfriends
Women who sold; perfumes, coats jewelry out of their cars-
 
Vibrant Salon was way large, but more so-
It was vibrant
Unique color; with abstract matching patterns
Creative arts with the frame work included 
That came from far away lands.
Salon professionalism and the sexiest apolstry.
 
Vibrant Salons
Vibrant and large
Salon like arcilicture
And salon like fame
Vibrant and unique 
Hand polished and full of professionalism 
Vibrant Salon had it all-
Older girls that had been presented awards
Vibrant finger nail polish that made your feet look Hollywood Avenue worthy
They were the ones that were “all that” 
“All that and Vibrant” 
Salon like professionalism and vibrant Hollywood attitude
 
Vibrant Salon,

Giving Our Salute To Luxury

Entering Houston once again was comforting;
Warm, relaxing , inviting quite, calm
Yet, another venture regarding business
And an, airport landing
Houston was different 
It was one of my favorites to visit
For it was keen in luxury 
 
Cabbing from my hotel was a regretful venture
Of course, but work was calling.
Entering the furniture gallery was a marvelous site to see
The architectural trimmings were hand crafted,
Absolutely tasteful portraits  
To salute the designs
Warmly framed, as a polished
Decoration of the esteem work
 
This particular city had a “nack” 
For size conglomerates.
They padded every-square inch of the building structure with;
Luxury barista shop with French coffee and English
Salutes to royal ways of life, recipes in restaurant sized cafés.
 
Giving our salute to luxury 
Is a tasteful venture of itself,
Coming keen in recognition 
Of its immense history,
Colossal impressions
Boldness and detail.
Elaborate usage of stating 
The importance of each concept
Relaying again and again on conceptual pattern
 
Luxury, is Texas and every street of Houston , that ever had the pleasures of being 
traveled, and every gallery it housed 
 
You visit, luxury
You salute history
You yet again
Complete a portrait

A Flower's Color

With wind blowing definition, Captured in a photo.
A flower and the color is as ravishing as the sensation of Mrs. Owens in her essence
 
The sequence of it growth
The nature in its own habitat!
 
The flower’s own essence is essential to take note, because only in that would you 
appreciate 
It in fullness
Size, magnitude, color
Essence
Essence
Essence!

A Perfect Wedding

In a wedding that is perfect,
It has a beautiful bride
A beautiful dress,
A perfect appearance
 
She feels perfect
She entered with perfect neatness
She walks perfectly in her dress
Her groom is dressed in perfection
 
In a perfect wedding
The flower girl is decorated beautifully 
She accompanied with a perfect thought in her mind, 
Of a perfect wedding for herself
She loves the beautiful dress of the bride
She loves and adores, the walk of the bride 
She feels the bride is perfect in apperance

Love

If there was anything

I mean anything at all

That I could do

I would tell you

I love you

I want you to know

I love you

I do

I really do

If there was anything

That I could do

It would be to tell you, I love you

You are my love

There is nothing I would rather do

Then spend the rest of my life loving you

Latasha

I remember when homes were, 

Made of brick and 

cement 

When service was on Sunday 

And La’Tasha would 

always sing, 

As I Reminiscence over the 

times, 

La’Tasha sang at Church 

Service 

I marveled the day I moved 

away 

It was many days before I had 

a home again, 

Six daylight savings and 

a leap year had passed I would 

say; 

When I made it back to service 

To hear La’Tasha sing 

Oh how she could sing 

The mothers in the front 

rows would bellow 

With their handkerchiefs 

Waving Amen. 

La’Tasha had a gift to 

Sing 

Amen and Amen 

Everyone agreed 

La’Tasha 

Could Sing

A Slow Song That I Want To Share With You

A slow song that I want to share with you

There not another thing I want to do right now

Something to express how I have felt

Being yours and you being mine for all this time

I want this to last for the rest of our lives

Spend this song together so that we last forever and ever

A slow song that I want to share with you

So we can live from this moment on

It's Really Different When You Grow Up

Knowing things as a child is one thing
Growing up is however different
I remember friends
I remember having dreams
I remember having nightmares
I remember wanting to be a kid forever
And times when I could not wait to grow up, because I did not want to have a bedtime anymore
There were days when I picked to be twenty-one, sixteen, thirteen, or twelve  forever
I would watch others who were older than me and admire the perks of their age
It’s really different when you grow up
You just remember
Remember wanting to be twelve, thirteen, sixteen, and twenty-one 
I like those memories there things I hold dear to myself
