Everyone is just looking
to be loved
in the right way.
Grasping for purpose,
a peaceful mind.
Welcoming arms,
someone who stays.
A straight line delivers the illusion of control – the delusion manifested order could ever be kept in tow,
                                                                      or manipulated reasoning
                                                              could ever take seed and grow
                                                           against the natural ebb and flow.  
If each our mind a garden, work to see it bloom
full of luscious fruit capable of sweetening even the dankest, darkest glooms.
            Savor that sweet, succulent juice as it drips from your lips and cascades
        down
             your
                  chin
To break from the mold, let go of control. To break from the mold, let go of control.

Energy

Energy that's something else isn't it? something so beautiful in it's natural form, as it connects  us from a smile to a simple gesture that ends up being meaningful it flows.
Energy powerful it alters a mood to the extant that it appears in the ways a certain person behaves.
We all connected thru different energy forms, Connected thru different signatures that form friendships, relationships that get fitted in different loves that we end up being on.
 As the energy flows our ways change in different times, shared in different places.
 As we channel the energy of the situation that we're in,Oooh we let that energy flow which most times its beyond our control. In most cases its chemistry if the energy is good thru the connection those electrical sparkles called vibes will show.
We are all connected thru the energy that flows energy.

Happiness begins with blessings from heavens above,
Happiness begins with all that I prayed for,
Happiness begins with what every man dreams of,
My true happiness only begins with your love...

Happiness begins with sacrificing my whole life,
Happiness begins with bidding loneliness goodbye;
Happiness begins with crying all my tears away,
My true happiness only begins with you everyday...

It's no question true happiness may not sound real,
Something very hard to wait for and keep still,
But you are the one who gave me something to feel,
True happiness began with you as the Lord revealed.

Happiness begins with declaring your arms my home,
Happiness begins with no need in being all alone,
Happiness begins with companion who believes in us,
My true happiness only begins with earning your trust...

It's no question true happiness may not sound real,
Something very hard to wait for and keep still,
But you are the one who gave me something to feel,
True happiness began with you as the Lord revealed.

Happiness begins with a virtuous woman with grace,
Happiness begins with putting a smile your pretty face,
Happiness begins with finally finding soulmate like you,
My true happiness only begins with saying I do...

Happiness begins saying I do...

Mmm, baby, yes, I do...
A lovely December morning like this,
connotes nothing else in our world but bliss.
A time to mine our richest depths of love
on fifth avenue's apartments above.
Every split second is worth a lifetime
with your warm presence in this wintertime.
A kiss from you is like an explosive.
Your lips hypnotize with a corrosive
touch of arousal and sensuality,
bringing heaven on earth to reality.
I will relish the softness of your skin,
like I have never before relished in
our union together as a couple.
We will dine, dance, kiss, romance and cuddle,
because I sure hope to make this December
a unique December to remember.
Christmas spent with my heartthrob

Have you ever noticed…
The way that when it’s raining everyone is just so sad
They don’t realize that the rain is coming to wash away the bad things from the Earth and put them where they belong
They just see that the sky is dark and that the rain ruins their hair
They don’t realize that rain is here to keep the plants alive and keep them strong,
The rain keeps them healthy, without the rain, we wouldn’t have the little things like the trees that keep us alive
Or the oceans that we all love to swim in, or that are the homes to the creatures that so many of us like to eat
When it rains the dirt turns into mud, drops of rain fall down the window, the steps are so much harder to walk down
We just see the surface, never what lies beneath,
It’s just like life,
When things aren’t perfect and the tears fall from your eyes
You’re just so sad
Your world is dark and it’s cold and you just wanna grab your security blanket and hide from it
You don’t realize that the rain is coming to wash away the pain that you are feeling
You don’t realize that your rain makes you stronger, your rain helps grow your character like the trees that we depend on to keep us alive
Your rain is your source of strength, it’s where the weakness inside of you hides, but when it comes out, it’s gone forever
The rain makes it harder to get out of bed because there’s just so much pain, makes it harder to think because everything is just so foggy
The periods of rain seem to last forever
But the warm sunny days after them
They’re so beautiful,
So perfect,
But it takes the rain to appreciate them
Women are water
gentle enough to give life
but deep enough to take it

beautiful enough to call home
but strong enough to destroy it
This is my first poem, i just joined recently so hi!
smiles
are for
first kisses
clumsy and sloppy
but full of passion
and love

smiles
are for
wedding days
where the love of our lives
promises to be with us
forever

smiles
are for
intimate encounters
euphoric loving
exploring the depths of our souls
like no-one has before

smiles
are for
new life
first wails
late nights
all for a child's love

smiles
are for
first steps
careful and stumbling
but beautiful
nonetheless

smiles
are for
scrapes and bruises
falling
but getting back up
over again

smiles
are for
first loves
nervous hands
holding
tight

smiles
are for
betrayals
never
to trust
again

smiles
are for
long nights
alone
listening to
her favourite song

smiles
are for
deepest regrets
punishing herself
for another's
faults

smiles
are for
silent cries
no idea
how to fix
anything

smiles
are for
last breaths
with whispered apologies
to everyone
and everything

smiles
are for
final discoveries
too late
to make
a change
long, but i think it is powerful :)
