In calmness i sit beside you content to be by your side.

Smiles, laughter, oh what a good day!
...

As the cock crows with excitement,
And the morning breeze gently blows,
I arise with you on my mind.
Minutes and hours pass by but never do i tire to hold you dear in my heart.
...

When emptiness surrounds us,
We seek each other in thoughts, dreams and hearts,
But deep is the emptiness,
Our souls seek more.
...

He looks at me tenderly,
With a voice so calm he addresses me,
He calls me queen.
...

I'm the soil that you rain on; your sweet fragranced milky rain.

Your milk meets my honey and flows deep into the depths of my womanhood.
...

You are ready to love,
And ready to love back too.

Then along comes a man who pleases you.
...

Cry not,
Curse not.
He said he loved you,
Yes he did.
...

Life oh life,
So sweet when young,
So fresh and exciting,
Life oh life!
...

Above eighteen,
But playing teen.

Where are your manners?
...

I love you.
But can I protect your heart from pain?
No.
...

People! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I have many names!

They call me liberty,
...

Perhaps i'd be Paul,
Maybe a great soldier,
And who knows, maybe a father!
...

He kissed you,
You enjoyed it.

He murdered,
...

You were once a baby girl,
Now you are a woman.

You were a boy,
...

From African names,
To Western names!

WHAT A LAME TRICK!
...

Yours are the darkest of days,
Dress in black.

Your heart is laced with anger,
...

All pretty and stunning,
A happy heart in her,
What a lovely day!
