Ravishing Queen
Not in my once upon a time but at all times
Flies fearlessly like a butterfly
Ready to explore the world and never loses her true North
She's made a life for herself and her hands have been blessed with a midas touch
I've seen her cry before and she's made that go away
She's proven to be resilient and to be made of steel
She's a wonder woman trying to save the world even when she's lost everything
Kindness, care and empathy are her portion and I've had a sip
She's a tower of strength and lady of great wisdom
She's an African queen
Sometimes I think what I see is what I believe
I've seen beauty in African Queens
Our mothers and sisters
This is dedicated to them

As I stepped out of the front door to meet my fiance,
The cheeky full moon followed me,
Hiding behind clouds,
Blushing sweetly.
It lighted my senses,
Magic touched my soul,
The sky blissful.
My fiance and I agreed to have a romantic dinner under the enticing  moonlight,
Feeling love for each other over and over.

Love doesn’t test, it gives!

Love doesn’t control, it frees!

Love is wise but never calculating

I know we don’t always see eye to eye

From time to time

Baby , just  pull me close

And love me anyway!
If you are going to love...there will always be the risk of vulnerability!

Trying to avoid vulnerability will only steer you around the love you need!

The moon is rising
Full and bright
Hanging,huge
She sheds her light

Climbing,slowly
O'er the hill
Lazy,creeping
The night's so still

Spangled starlight
Welcomes her
As she takes her place
And begins to stir

Hearts in love

Hearts in love
Who look at her

And she smiles her smile
That only lovers know.
Lovers   moonlight

But it doesn’t need
A purpose to read
The natural structure
Is the mystery

A stanza where two minds melt
Certainly words of comfort and wealth

These thing only matter to us
Catch and ride the purposeful bus
Themes and memes of rolling streams
Sleepwalking the poetical dream

If I could only keep up with the train!

Is like eating your favourite chocolate all by yourself,
First bite ahhh....
Another bite-scrumptious,
Another,
Another,
Can't get enough,
Till all gone,
Nothing left,
Just a taste in the mouth.

My lips are worn out
from the unspoken words

My eyes dully ache
from the unshed tears

My heart burns for
its desire to be loved

My wrist bleeds,
it longs to heal

My leg shakes,
it wants flee

My soul weeps,
so I set it free

So beautiful
so temporary
so easily lost
the pink joy of spring floats away
so gracefully
through somewhat icy wind
and glaring sunshine
‘till again they bloom
when ready
like a new love in our hearts
so beautiful
so temporary
so easily lost

An idiot is harmless,
Until that idiot falls in love,
Then they’re willing to do anything,
For the person they’re in awe of.

Whether its building a new world,
Or burning the old one down,
They’ll stop at nothing,
To give their love a crown.

Now if that love fades,
And they are left weeping,
They could take one of two paths,
Both will leave an empty heart unsleeping.

Path one is war and rampage,
Destroy everything in their way,
Path two is depression and tears,
They may cause their own doomsday.

Either way an idiot is harmless,
Until that idiot falls in love,
And if you happen to cross that idiot,
Beware for they do not care, they are deprived of---------
i might be an idiot in love.

Finders are keepers,
I found your heart first.

There is art
In your heart
Painting pictures
When I lay
My head down on your chest

There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
When you hover
Pin me down
With your stare

There is a poem
On the tip
Of your tongue
I taste it
When I kiss you

You are tortured
Stereotyped
My jaded lover
I hear it
When you won't talk
