True Love

You love me in spite of myself
You love me even after smelling my morning breath

You love me exactly as I am

When all my make-up is gone
My hair is tasseled and not combed
You love me with all my imperfections and quirks
You love me even when it hurts

You love me…when I don’t love myself
You even love me in bad health

You love me during that time of the month
When I’m bitchy,
moody,
irritated,
fatigued,
bleeding,
crying
and an emotional wreck
You still love me

You love me exactly as I am
You love me when I am weak
You love me when I am vulnerable to the world

You love me regardless of my vanity
You love me….the real me
Through the core of my flesh….my soul and spirituality


You love every strand of my hair
From head to toe
You love my smile
Hell, you even love me, when I fuss and pout

Through all my attitude and silly moods….you love me
You see past all this tuff, rough exterior
You love me inside…the me that the world does not see
In spite of all my imperfections

You love me.
True love

I Didn't Claim Poetry

Inspired my Amberly's Me Poem.....Amber, Thanks for the inspiration! I didn’t claim poetry Poetry claimed me It wrapped me up And seduced me At the tender age of three I didn’t claim poetry It claimed me It called my name While inside my mother’s womb It nurtured me And cuddled me And wrapped me up in its cocoon I write because of submission It is my therapy The only thing that allows Me to maintain my sanity I didn’t claim poetry Poetry claimed me With intoxication For words medication No need for translation It be my sedation I know no other way It is the ex-pression Of WHO I BE I live for it Die without it And strive to perfect it I be the muse To the ink The pen be the tool To express me Poetry is WHO I BE

Stand

Stand When all has failed & you don't know what to do.. Just Stand. When the storm is fierce The river is raging & you feel like it's drowning you Just Stand. When the bitter cold comes to steal your last breath...... Just Stand, Knowing in your heart This to shall pass When the cold wind blows & catches you in its snare Be patient & know That after the storm is over You'll still be Standing there! When the tears just keep running & you can't utter a word Just Stand For This too God has heard When the burning fire roars With plans to destroy all in sight Just Stand When the pain is unbearable & you think your losing your mind Just Stand. Stand on the rock so powerful & true Stand with all authority & know that God loves you Stand & be victorious With all your faith & might Stand child & let the spirit be Just Stand there and know that God is with thee!

I Like My Coffee...Like I Like My Man

I like my coffee Like I like my man Black Strong Robust Full of flavor Lively Deep Vibrant Hot Steamy With more caffeine Than a drug dealer That wakes my senses And brings me alive I like my coffee Like I like my man Exotic Addictive Potent Lingering in my thoughts Long after the initial introduction Sturdy Balanced With definition And variety Chameleon like Having the ability To blend in any environment Yet never looses it originality Nor its essence I like my coffee Like I like my man Giving me the “lift” I need To make it through the day Under any circumstance So addictive, that I find myself Wanting…..needing Just a taste of him Several times a day I like my coffee Like I like my man First thing in the morning After a shower And sometimes before To “wake” up my senses And bring me alive To journey on my way Black Strong Robust Vibrant Yeah...... That’s how I like him .
