ONE DAY (JUST FOR TONIGHT)
One day it will all be okay
One day we will make it right
But for right now let’s not fight
Just for tonight lord let it be alright
As days turn into weeks I can see your hidden fears and tears as a man
And as women I should be able to shield you but all I can see is my tears and my pain
Sometimes I think I can’t stand this rain, all that we’ve wanted was to become one and all that we needed is to be as one , Divided and molded covered and sugar coded nothing is okay, the truth stays at bay and both of us are to scared to say …that all we want to do is stay
One day it will all be okay
One day we will make it right
But for right now let’s not fight
Just for tonight lord let it be alright
No one’s perfect no one ever gets it right the first time
I give you mine, you give me yours
Baby I’m tired of the locked doors
The midnight wars
People speaking out of term
We’ve come too far with so much more to learn
It’s our turn to smile together not a part not when we know
Where we want to be at heart.
One day it will all be okay
One day we will make it right
But for right now let’s not fight
Just for tonight lord let it be alright
Closing our eye’s never realizing that tomorrow may not always be there
Forgetting That I can promises you today and hope that I keep it for the next day and the next and the next
In all forms of art I’m trying to finally say what I couldn’t from the start from the pause in “I DO” Knowing deep down I only see you
I miss you and all the things we use to be and all the things we could grow to see.
We were made to be together no matter what the weather. Everything happened at the right time, it’s our season. And it stands for this Reason
I love you and there are several ways we could fall apart but hundreds why
Continue to fall in love. We will make it past this rain and once again maintain
One day it will all be okay
One day we will make it right
But for right now let’s not fight
Just for tonight lord let it be alright

Poems in 2009
What are words worth 2009©
What are words worth
To the kid with a gun to his chest
A mother who can't seem to find her success
A father who can't provide
And a victim still trying to figure out Why
What are words worth
To the boy who has lost his way
To the girl who doesn't know her worth
To anyone feeling defeated
To someone, who forgot how to kneel down and pray
What are words worth
To a community that struggles to survive
To a crowd of mourners asking god why
To the trick on the corner to
To the boom right next to her always wanting to bum a quarter
What are words worth
To families who hate each other
To a husband and wife who can't get it together
To a misbehaved child that feels this is the only way it'll get better
To the the battered and abused
To the raped and misused
To anyone anyone who at some point had the blues
What are words
Worth for those of us who walk away
To Those of us who continue with the negative things to say
To Those of us who say what we think and not what is needed
To those of us who don't know what is needed because we were mistreated
To those of us who cant forgive
Why can't we find the words to give
Look at how disconnected have we become
We've gotten lost in times that have no meaning
Lost with words that have no power
Lost in pushing buttons, texting and the ultimate twitter power
We forget what words express
Words are our greatest power
Use them wisely or they could be our biggest down fall
What are words worth?
Words can bring Change
Peace and above all LOVE
(self, family , culture, lovers, LIFE)
Get some.........

The Other Side Of Me!2009©
The other side of me
Isn't a self proclaimed diva but she will make you a believa
You won't have any reason in the world to think that you don't need her
The other side of me
Doesn't have a bossy attitude but you'll already know what to do
The other side of me
Can mis-behave and still get her way
The other side of me explores all area's especially those with shades of Grey
The other side of me
Isn't shy but will hide if the timing isn't just right
The other side of me
Has been know to make Knee's weak and grown men scared to speak
The other side of me
Is soft sheer and very few if any can compete
The other side of me
Is Everything you want her to be
But she speaks to few and will leave many of you having the blues
The other side of me doesn't need me to continue to speak on her behalf
If your selected to see her you'll see why she wants to be her
why he needs her and next to none ever leave her
Your not silly you can do the math
Not many cross her path not many understand her graphics
Only one can master her craft to bad He hasn't crossed her
path.........
The other side of me you wish you could see one day one day maybe if it's meant
to be...........

Only he can make me feel this way
He is the one I never wanted to wish away
Mistakes where made songs were song and in this battle nobody one
Stuck between what's right and wrong
Pride is what keeps you from wanting to fight the right way
Now we are so deeply departed broken-hearted
Missing us as one when will our day come when will our day come
When Our midnight rain and mid day pain
Finally jump and a train and let us unite as one....
YESTERDAY IT WAS YOU©2009
(Dedicated to every women and men in the struggle, Know yourself)
I don't want Internet letters on how you can make it better
I don't want text messages on how many more storms I have to whether
I don't to know how you wish you could love me one day because .......
Yesterday was you and there was nothing I wouldn't do ...
No storm I couldn't handle
No issue I couldn't dismantle
Yesterday was you I did all I had to
I fought all the battles
Tried climbing all your ladders
Road all the avenues
And it still didn't get better
I did all this because you kept saying
"All this yours boo one day I ll give you the world baby girl"
One day was never and from there I kept licking at the wounds
Yesterday was you and I was the fool
I carried your babies
Feed your families and homies
Supported your dreams
I was the number one player on your team
What was mines was yours even
When what was yours was yours
Yesterday was you and there was nothing I wouldn't do ...
No storm I couldn't handle
No issue I couldn't dismantle
Yesterday was you I did all I had to
I fought all the battles
Tried climbing all your ladders
Road all the avenues
And it still didn't get better
I did all this because you kept saying
"all this yours boo one day I ll give you the world baby girl"
One day was never and from there I kept licking at the wounds
Yesterday was you and I was the fool
What????I didn't understand
I fought all the fights
Protected his seed
Raised his child and his children
Paid his notes
Cleaned his house and his credit
Trying to figure out why he wouldn't let it grow, let me go or let me know what the hell was I doing this for
I waited by cells and jails
Sent you mail
Did time even when I was innocent of all crimes
All to no avail
I still get disrespected neglected and rejected
While still having to walk on egg shells to apiece you
All this because Yesterday was YOU
Yesterday was you and there was nothing I wouldn't do ...
No storm I couldn't handle
No issue I couldn't dismantle
Yesterday was you I did all I had to
I fought all the battles
Tried climbing all your ladders
Road all the avenues
And it still didn't get better
I did all this because you kept saying
"all this yours boo one day I ll give you the world baby girl"
One day was never and from there I kept licking at the wounds
Yesterday was you and I was the fool
Well Today Today is ME!!!!!!!!
Today I am living for me and letting you be
Working my jobs
Going to school
Trying to get my own silver spoon
And as tired as I might be I don't reminisce about what could be
Nor do I wish upon a star for you I petty you boo
Because Yesterday I mean Yesterday day I didn't Know
The WOMEN in me and How strong she could be and Today
I can see the boy in you that was always there
I just never took the Time to Stare
I am glad I can finally walk away from Yesterday !!!!!!!
