Relationships start off like oh so right
Making love damn near every single night
Dancing, the movies, going out bowling
Cracking so many jokes, I'm on the floor rolling
...

Let me cook, iron and clean
Let me explore, let me dream
Let me kiss and comfort you
Let me do just what I do
...

Today I saw an owl
Or did he see me?
For I looked outside the window
And saw him sitting in a tree

How much in our life do we copy/paste and what is the effect of it?
You can copy/paste pictures, my energy, my attitude, my emotions, my spiritual growth… but what is it about copying?
You have the choice in life what you choose to copy and paste if any.

I've heard people say they "Found God"
You didn't find God, because God was never lost
You say, you lost your wallet, or you lost your keys…
You didn't lose your keys, you misplaced your keys

Yes I said it - The Dressless, cause what are they really wearing?
It's practically nothing. Should it be called "Clothes for Hoez? "
But why do they dress less? Is it for attention, is it insecurity, is it they lack confidence, is it cute, is it tacky, is it sexy, is it to "fit in, " is it misleading, is it enticing…?

Welcome to December. A joyful, jolly month. A month of happiness, beautiful lights, decorations, positive vibes, excitement, gift giving, peace on earth and love. Yes, this is the right time and this is the right season. A season of endings, out with the old and beginnings, in with the new. End the year strong and begin the new year even stronger.

I have decided the gift to myself this Christmas is to start doing right, not just in some areas, but in every area of my life. And how I will do that is to maintain a right attitude, stay on the right path with the right frame of mind, right my wrongs, have the right perspective and outlook on life, live right, eat right and do what is right by God.

The caterpillar she crawls around and around
Wondering when he'll come home to lay his head down
She cooked and cleaned and is awaiting for he
But there with his caterpillar, he'd rather not be
...

The strength of a woman should not be taken for granted
Nor should it be misunderstood
It is not that she can't, for she has proven she could
...

Why should you miss me?
When I was there were you aware?
Aware that I exist or was I someone you chose to dis?
Dismiss from your sight and out of your space
...

Yes, the government was unprepared
Brushed it off and didn't care
Dropped the ball, was slow to act
They knew ahead and that's a fact
...

Alright listen, when it comes to relationships and marriages
There are NO rules and do's
There is a way to win, yet you choose the way to lose

Birds are free
Free to laugh, free to cry
Free to leave with no good-byes
Free to spread their wings so high

In this world, so many people focus on name brands and designers.
You want designer this, designer that. You want the best, the newest, the most expensive. You want the car, the yacht, the designer clothes, the designer purses, the designer shoes… You want the 2.3 million dollar home, designer, customized, high in furniture, I could go on and on, but you understand what I am saying.
You want the best of the best, high in top of the line, quality stuff. But that's just what that is - STUFF. Stuff you can't take with you, stuff that won't get you into heaven and sometimes, it's just stuff to impress.

The 'United States, ' what exactly does that mean?
Does that mean only the states that are 'united' and sides with one's set of ways and views? And how is it that the 'Red' states are considered better and put on a pedestal and the 'Blue' states are bashed and called poor, unfit and crime infested? But let's say for the record that those statements are true. Well, they didn't become that way overnight, which means, it has been like this for some months or even years and in that case, could it be a reflection of 'The Leadership? '
Things that are currently happening right now are happening right now and should have some resolution or action being taken right now, not in November, December or next year.

There are so many times we have experienced situations where we were in pieces. Where we were broken into pieces, shattered into pieces, torn into pieces, left in pieces, picked up pieces, mended pieces, put pieces together… and so on.

But to be able to transition those pieces to Peace, is truly amazing!
The power is in the prayer, yes PRAY.

Poetry is the freedom of expression and should not be limited by anything, especially by characters.

Poetry is expressed through feelings, emotions and or experiences and can also be expressed from sound, vision or thoughts. There should not be a limitation on poetry. Being able to express yourself to the fullest does not always have to make cents ¢¢¢. But it does make sense to the poet to use however many necessary wordings needed to get the message across. A poet should not have to feel the need to "say less" nor should they have to shorten or limit their gift of writing.

As I have walked pass or visited high-in rich subdivisions and gated communities, I have noticed all the homes are from the same color bracket. They are either beige, brown, cream, tan, camel, oatmeal, caramel, taupe… or a mixture of these colors, like half brown, half beige… Have you noticed that as well? I wonder if that is an HOA requirement? To me, it makes all the houses look the same and the whole subdivision looks bland.

Why can't there be some diversity, brightness and excitement to those bland, boring subdivisions? Why can't the homeowner have a choice or say so as to what color they prefer their 2.3 million dollar home to be? People should be able to paint their property to their personality. Yes… Dare to be different!

You ever had a neighbor, a friend, a family member or somebody that always wanna know if "you got? "

You got $5.00 til Friday, you got milk, you got some soap powder, you got a egg, you got cooking oil, you got some plies I can use, you got a lawn mower, you got 2 slices of bread I can borrow… Borrow?
