My Beautiful Queen
By MEH3
I can call you cute,
fine
sexy
all them sorts of things
Or even Pretty,
Classy
Foxy
something with a nice ring
But I will rather call you my Queen
Someone a King desire
You have that elegant style
so tastefully fine
I mean God just whispered and told me
she is so divine
A supreme being
only missing her crown
With that angelic voice
halo time
A smile so ravishing
more than attractive
something like fascinating
She walks in a room and everybody notice her
without saying a word
She is not conceited but
has that confident strut,
likes all eye on her
and she is not even trying to flaunt
Is those wings by her side
because she looks so heavenly,
Beautiful,
Exquisite,
Pulchritudinous!
Meaning....your appearance is so pleasing to the me
Just understand you are more than a woman
You are a Queen
The most powerful piece
Nobody can compete
with your style and grace
Royalty resides in you
Just continue to remember you're more than a woman
You are my Queen to be!

Melvin Hodge Iii Poem
Masquerade
By MEH3
One soul
Two faces
Behind the mask you wear
Hiding from the real you
Trying to figure it out
Living in doubt
Thinking you have it all figured out
Until you looked in the mirror
not recognizing the reflection that is there
Adjusting the frame
Only to realize the mask was still there
Oops, there we go (as you remove the mask)
Refreshing to see the real you
At least I thought
I guess that is the person I feared
The real you
The one who doesn't care
What happened to your heart
The kind, gentle you
Hold on, do not go
turning your back on me again
Oh there you go
As the mask reappeared
What a beautiful smile
that seemed to be there
A loving soul
Would you like to stay for a while?
Let's converse
since I have you here
Wait, why so angry now
Is this a curse
Thought I found my queen
Then I noticed
This was a Masquerade Ball

The Butterfly Effect
By MEH3
I want to fly around
like a butterfly
Enjoying the breeze on
a pleasant summer day
To spread my wings I must grow
from this little seed
That was left on a leaf
to find its own way
But some day
you will say
look at him fly
While I am soaring in the sky
Not understanding my molting stages
Only to go hide
inside this cocoon of mine
In order to fly
I am so excited
to start this new life
A new beginning
What a sight
I realized that
my caterpillar days
was the only way
for Him to transform me into what I am today
So, as I enjoy this splendid summer day
I must say that today
looks a lot better
than my yesterday
Realizing that a small change
can turn into
an amazing day
As I experience this butterfly effect!

The Storm Is Near
By MEH3
As I sit in this field
I looked in the sky
And noticed a storm is near
Thinking
Should I run in fear
Or sit and see what's near
As the wind got stronger
I started second guessing myself
Like, why am I still sitting here
But something came over me
And I wanted to see
What the sky will look like once it passed
Even though some may say
It's dangerous
I saw it as an opportunity
An opportunity
To look fear in the eye
As this storm passed me by
In the midst of my storm
I stop worrying about how it would end
And let go of all my fears
Even though I felt lonely
A presence of peace
Came over me
And I realized that
I was being protected
To see a brighter day
I felt my situation getting better
As I continued to pray
On this dark and stormy day
Even as I was in my storm
I looked beyond it
And saw gleams of light
It was like He was challenging me
To allow Him to move the clouds
And shed some light
I heard a voice say
Don’t waste a perfect storm
So I continued pushing forward
I noticed that it was working,
And the storm that's here
Will soon pass
After every storm comes the calm
So, I changed my thinking and said
Clear skies getting near!

Friends Before Lovers
BY: MEH3
They say we cannot be friends if we cannot be lovers
But I say we have to be friends to be lovers
They say friendship will never last
I say friendship with love can always be a blast
They say just give me one night to love you
I say give me an eternity and I will show you what love is
They say sex is made for an one night stand
but I say love making is made for two who started as friends.
So to be lovers let's start being friends
Understanding the real meaning
and not just trying to get in each other pants
Because at the end of the night
I want to hold you tight
listen to all your fears
and make you understand that I am all ears
I am here until the end
Not just the night
Until the end of time
Because I want to do this right
I mean, we can go at it
and have fun for the rest of the night
But what is the real meaning
if it is only for one night
I want to make this last forever
and I am not Keith Sweat,
But I am willing to make this bet
That if we become friends before lover
every challenge that comes before us
has no chance to destroy us
But this is only meant in the sense of Holy Matrimony
So, do not get me wrong I will love to stay for the night
but it really would not be right
Because I want to take a knee
and ask you to be my wife
So let's continue to be friend,
So that we can grow to be lovers
That is all I am saying
Friends before lovers
Let the challenge begin

Melvin Hodge Iii Poem
Sun Set As the Son Sat
By MEH3
As the sun set
The son sat
Realizing that he has so much left
Even as the sun set
But the son sat there wondering what's next
He was so caught up in the beauty that he saw as the sun set
Never realizing the potential that he had
Until the son sat
But he was so paralyzed by the sunset
Wishing he had someone to share this moment with staring off at the sunset
Than he noticed
He was like a rose
That hasn't even bud yet
Sitting there waiting just to be next
The next one to blossom
And be on exhibit
But the son concluded that he was still in the unfurling stages
Just trying to open up next
And allow his buds to set
As the sun set the son understood that in order to blossom
He had to watch what he fed his rose plant
Because too much fertilization
Could only lead to death
So as the son sat he became wise
He thought….
In order to make a rose sprout
He couldn't be blinded by the beauty of that rose plant
Because pruning is vital part of that rose success
Remembering to nurture his rose
Especially, before the sun set
Because even though a black rose is special
It still represents death
So the son sat his mind on courage
Because he never realized what a rose meant
As the son thought
In order to grow
he has to be ready for the sun to set
Because tomorrow's sunrise will only allow the sun to set....
Think about it
Make sure you feed yourself the correct things you need in order to grow
Because sometimes we feed ourselves not knowing
That it may lead to death
So step back for a minute
And realize that watering that plant leads to success
And we all want to grow, we all need to grow
Allowing others to see our success
From A little seed
That was planted in the ground
Not knowing how it would grow
But the son was being patient to see his rose success
The son planted these seeds to allow God to water his rose plant
As the son continues to pray
That He allows him to grow
Each and every day
So, as the son sit on the beach
And watch the sun set
He realize that
God is not done with him yet

Melvin Hodge Iii Poem
One Of A Kind
By MEH3
The lady is beautiful
The woman is sweet
The girl is fine,
she is one of a kind.
I admire her drive
I love her walk
She has that sophisticated talk
that could blow one's mind
She has a motor like Ford
A body like a Benz
But something like a foreign engine Audi R8 you know
Meaning she is well put together
And tough to take apart
You have to be careful with her because
she is one of a kind.

Melvin Hodge Iii Poem
Down For The Count
By MEH3
1....2....3
That was a devastating blow
4....5....6
He is beat up, defeated it is OVER!
7....8....9
Hold on
What do we have here?
Is he getting back on his feet!
Ooh my God
It is a miracle
After that one
he looked like he was
down for the count
Just when I thought it was over
and felt I was defeated
He got me back on my feet
I took blows
from my head to my toes
been shook, shaken and beaten
When they said
"Down he goes"
They thought I was done
Little did they know
He had a plan
for his son
They said..."stay down"
"Don’t get up"
"This is not for you"
"Just let it go"
He said NO!!!
I got you,
I will fight your battles until the end
So get up
and get back in
I will carry you to a win
A victory,
a champion
you will never give in
But I was thinking
"I cannot"
"I give up"
"he wins"
He said, looked at me
are you doubting me again?
I never said it would be easy
You have to stick in there until the end!
You thought it was over
But I have a friend
Who is above all those
Who counted me out
You thought I was done
But it is was not in His plan
He said do not worry about it
and gave me a sneak peek at His hand
Looking forward
I got excited
and jumped to my feet
They said he is crazy
Chopped liver
Done, Complete
But as I caught my second wind
I thought
well let the fight begin
I am ready,
yeah ready to win
I have no worries, no doubts
so let's get it in
Because now I have the faith
that He will be by my side
That He holds my hand
He carried me on His back
Fought that fight
and of course He got that win
Even in defeat He got me back on my feet
I will never be down for the count
Until that day we meet
Even then
it would not be the end
Because I have eternal life
When you thought it was over
He extended His hand
picked me up and gave me another chance
He knew I was a sinner
but He showed me
the true definition of a friend
He told me He will be there until the end
Even though He knows I will sin again
He said He will not depart me
So I got up being determined to never give up
Understanding that I am not down for the count
I am just being patient until then

Melvin Hodge Iii Poem
Putting Down The Gloves
By MEH3
Let's put down the gloves
in love and war
I would rather love you
instead of being at war.
So, with love
let's leave war behind
and take each others hand
while love be our guide.
I mean
we can keep the gloves
Putting one on each other hand
I'll take the left
and you can be my power hand
Or we can be versatile
and you can set em up
Allowing me to knock em out again
But really
just give me the gloves
I'll go to war for the both us
Since you are in my corner
I already know we have a winning plan
You can be my Cutman
Keeping my wounds clean
looking good, while being my Queen
But remember you hold an decisive factor
In order for us to win this fight
I promise to bob and weave
to avoid that knockout--right
I only ask if I do take a punch
Please don't throw in the towel
Or call the fight tonight
Because I’ll get back up
before that ten count
I'll take the beating
just tell me it will be alright
So let's put down the gloves
but not to quit this fight
instead to allow God to finish this bout
And once we hear that victory bell
Ding…..Ding….Ding!!!
We can celebrate
that we followed the Master's plan
As I look back
now, I understand
Why He gave me your hand
He knew you would not divert us
just be your own Tapeman
Even though
we put down the gloves
in love and war
we have to be prepared
for the art of war
Because once we think
we have it right
the devil will try his plan
To steal, kill
and destroy what
God had for us waiting
in the palm of His hand
So, let’s put down the gloves
and start working on His plan

Melvin Hodge Iii Poem
Something New
By MEH3
I cannot take you with me
So I have to say goodbye
I must say I did enjoy the ride
Even those rough times
Oh, but I will not
forget about all the good times
You see, you made me expand my mind
Now, look at me
Can't say we didn't have some adventurous
merry-go-rounds
But what is life
without a few ups and downs
You see you birth new life
Now it is time to grow
from a little seed
to a well-formed Palm Tree
You never imagined my future
But it is time to let the past be the past
and let you go
As I still reap from what we sowed
I cherished our time together
not taking a second for granted
We watered those seeds
and provided sun as needed
So my tomorrow is promised
to be better than my past
You exposed me to some challenging times
but what is life if you can't enjoy a glass of wine
Meaning, changing the bitter moments
into sweet times
Getting stronger during those weak times
Slowly smoothing out those rough edges
only to improve over time
Please keep in mind
over time we all break down
It is a necessity for growth
So, remember life is like a glass of wine
So please don’t frown
I could never forget about what we had
I am only smiling because of what's ahead
You allowed me to move on to better days
due to the road we paved
As the old cliche goes
out with the old, in with the new
Fifteen is ending
my sweet sixteen is past due
You taught me so much
and when I look back
I can truly say
fifteen you was my back support
pushing me to my greater days
You exposed the fake and kept the real
I am so thrilled, we didn't get kill
Unfortunately, we allowed him to steal some of our joy
but sixteen will be full of sweet times to enjoy
Sixteen you represent true love
and true love has sixteen distinctive things
that represents the quality of love
So, see fifteen you helped me find my purpose
in order to walk in true love
Fifteen,...smile we will always have history
but unfortunately, it is time to say goodbye
In order to create my new destiny
So out with the old and in with the new
I looking forward to something new!
Matt 20:16 - For the last shall be first and the first last
