A Scary Flight

“A scary flight”

It was a cold and dark rainy night.
They said you had only a few hour's before your flight.
I knew exactly where you were headed.
That was one night that I truly dreaded.
I guess I wasn’t quite ready for you to leave.
Or maybe I wasn’t ready to grieve.
What ever the reason I wished you could have stayed longer.
As I watched you lay there I knew I had to be stronger.
Many thoughts and worries were running through my mind.
I searched and searched but not one secure answer did I find.
I knew I couldn’t question him and there wasn’t a thing I could do.
I touched your forehead your temperature was terribly cool.
The night grew more quiet as the machine’s started to beep.
As I glanced at you, you looked so peaceful as if you were sleep.
I wish I could have delayed or even stopped your flight.
But it was then and there that you went to heaven on that rainy night.

Approachable

Men often find me very approachable.
Is it the way I talk, the way I walk, or the swagger of my hips?
Some day’s they diss me and other day’s they want to kiss my lips.
But I tell you one thing I’m a beautiful black women and I won’t have it.
I was raised in a strong house hold with many morals.
Maybe they all better think twice before they approach.
I have a slick tongue and a strong mind.
They can search for years but a real woman they’ll never find.
I’m a rare breed and one of a kind.

The Beginning and the End

Everything was going good in the beginning….
I think you loved me as much as I loved you….
Sometimes I questioned our relationship…
I never really got the answers I was searching for….
Maybe we were too young….
And maybe the world was against our love….
I look back and realize that I made a lot of mistakes…
Although many years have passed by….
I pray everyday that maybe fate will find us again.
Then I think too myself what if it doesn’t?
Will I ever find someone like you?
Or will I ever feel whole?
Only God knows what the future may hold.
But at night when you’re not next too me I feel so cold.
If only I could have you in my life again only you I would enfold.
You were my Best Friend my Lover and my Man.
Now everything is so bad in the end.

The Heat

As the temperature rose I began to feel heat.
It burned so bad I could feel the crackling under my feet.
My Palm’s felt warm as if they were sweaty.
I was almost willing but unsure if I was ready.
The sweat beads on my forehead began to trickle
It was a funny feeling in my stomach it felt like a tickle.
 Maybe every one was around me but I knew I stood alone.
Many nights I yearned for you but you never came home.
I thought about the way you smelled and your soft touch.
I wanted to move slowly because I knew there was no rush.
My heart was so tender like it was ready to melt.
You might have just gone to work but I realized it was love that I felt.

Hold On To It

It was given to you and always yours to keep.
Your always suppose to protect it until you take that leap.
Make sure that you’re never in a hurry.
Momma said peer pressure will drive you crazy but not to worry.
Hold on to it because it’s your pride and joy.
Put it away even when you think you’ve found that special boy.
The world can and will be such a cruel place.
Take your time because every thing should be at your pace.
Be aware of those who may want to take it.
I hope you are careful because you never know what you might get.
He might stick around but the majority of them split.
Always be strong and use your common sense.
Nothing is worse then giving up your innocence.
