tonight
you

are echoed in
the rhythm of
my solitary footsteps,

mirrored in the hazy glow
of street side lamps in
apathetic windows;

and I wonder if
you’ll ever know that
I see your reflection
in each puddle
of April rain

smothering
these lonely
cobblestone
streets.

Clouds cover my eyes
and smoke drips from my lips
as I lay down to wake

the thoughts flitting through my mind
as my body floats in a bubble of time

stuck, as everything else
flys swiftly by

like a fish in a tank
my own bubbles of thought
floating up from my lips
I stare in wonder
At the noiseless sound
And thoughtless stares
Of no one there

I close my eyes
And my dreams are stolen from me
In a daze I do not know

I run from the darkness
And hide in the light
And cower from the wishes at my fingertips
And the smiles on my wrists.

As my body floats through this daze
My eyes shut tight in this bubble of mine
I **** the smoke back from my lips
And take another hit.

After long days of play
In the sun and into night
After diner with my folks
I head to the place that feels right

Tucked in tight
With my eyelids feeling heavy
I'm preparing for my trip; my adventure; my journey

I walk alone
Through a field of blue
There's no one here
It's just me and not you

Upon this place
That I reach with haste
It's filled with happiness
And a sweet escape

Streets made of candy
And buildings that talk
In my dreams I am king
It's where I fly, and don't walk

I see it now
Because I've never seen it before
A pink kangaroo
Eating pizza with a troll

I don't mind it so much
It seems normal to me
Just like that T-Rex
Playing up in the tree

This dream is big
And it stretches forever
It's where my mind takes over
And creates something clever

Life outside this great place
Is so dull and boring
Filled with homework and chores
And my parents that wake me up with their snoring

But here I can wonder
Through my mind's great creations
Whatever I want
Comes without limitations

We took an impromptu trip to where you can have fun when it's real late. You don't have to leave the building ....but you can still get a date.

The lights are dim and there's a few flatscreens on the wall.  The barmaids are looking good and serving up the drinks. The music is pounding shaking the floor.....dollars are being thrown and the girls are looking for more.

The bottles are popping in VIP.....I'm just enjoying the eye candy that I see.
She approaches me from the rear and rubs her hand across my chest.  She says "You feel kind of tight....you must be stressed."

A slow song plays in the background .....and she begins to dance like a king cobra.  The only difference is that I wasn't afraid to hold her.  I pull her close and rub her like Aladdin's lamp.  My intentions are to make her damp.

We are transposed to a place where we are all alone....I whisper in her ear some sultry adjectives and verbs.....and her response are faint whispers...muffled words.  Syllables spoken,but nothing heard.

She grabs my hands and leads me around her temple. She takes my hand and makes me massage her *******.....and runs my hand down her legs.  Her attempt to make me beg for more.....and to get me on the other side of the door where I could pay to play.

She whispers in my ear that she is getting moist down below.  The question is if i want to continue the show.  The dance continues and she stops grinding on my *******.  Her eyes lock on me and she places the most seductive kiss upon my lips....

You are not like the other men who view me as a passing ship.  They want to slip their hands and money in my thong like they are paying a fare.

When they get off ....I'm just sitting there....waiting for the next one to come along.  I'm glad that you treat me with decency and respect.

She placed a kiss upon my neck........and said thank you and took her place on deck......the d.j. introduced her

Coming to the stage ......our featured dancer of the evening "Destiny".
She began to work the pole after she wiped it down.  I finished my drink and gave her one last look.....and made my way back uptown.

I thought about destiny on my way back home.......and smiled when she sent this text to my phone......"Since you left I feel all alone....I can't wait to lay next to you when I get home." "I Love you."

I'm your private dancer...I dance for your money. I'll do whatever you want me to do.

LOVE LETTERS


She held a pack of love letters tied with ribbons and bows.
these were the love letters that she would never show.
Every one of them was dated first to last
These were the letters that held a life past.
Times may pass and things may change
But memories stay the same.

The writing of love letters had slowly disappeared
But she held on to them from year to year.
She sat with the letters in her lap.
As the tears rolled down her eyes
He had said he would be with her
Till the day he died
And fifty years later
He met his maker
And was carried to the cemetery
by the undertaker.

The letters had been written
with tenderness and love
Proclaiming every thing
Even the stars above.

He said life was meaningless if with her
His life he could not share.
And losing her was something
he could not bear.

Now that he was gone and she
Was left all alone.
The house didn’t seem
like much of a home.

She knew her children would not understand
Why she held the love letters in her hand.
These were the memories  that kept her alive
And on that she couldn’t deny.
But her mind and body was fading fast
And she knew she could not last.
So to her children she bequeathed
The letters that she cherished all her life
For that was her husband, and she was his wife.

These are the love letters that your father
Wrote to me when we were young and carefree.
He told me of all that life had to offer.
And of all the love he had for me
And that he wanted to raise a family.

When you read his letters you will know
Why I loved this man so.
And now it’s time for me to go.

Because your father awaits me on the other side
And we’ll be together for all of time

Let the tears flow and let the guns go.
  
If men start crying, we'll stop dying
and the killings in the hood would cease.
The prisons would be empty of angry men.....because they've finally found a release.

If men start crying we'll stop dying
and take our rightful place as the head.  No more negative views, news or obituaries to be read.

If men start crying we'll stop dying
and now I'm on my knees.....praying for my life, but not from a gang of thieves.

If men start crying, we'll stop dying
because we're no longer afraid......about the misconceptions about men that have been made.

If men start crying, we'll stop dying
and hiding behind this wall of pride......so much hurt inside .....I need a life preserver to prepare me for this ride.

If men start crying, we'll stop dying
A canoe full of emotions traveling to and fro, but I've held them in so long that I'm about to blow.

If men start crying, we'll stop dying
Do you know what I've been through?  It wasn't a pleasant ride...but God knew what to do.
Jesus loved the world and he cried for it too.  The Perfect one showing me exactly what to do.

If men start crying, we'll stop dying
and become the leaders that God has called us to be.  We'll be the voice of reason instead of the negative images often displayed on TV.

IF MEN START CRYING,  WE'LL STOP DYING.


John 11:35 Jesus wept.

To be loved by you
I can't say I believe
Can't admit it could be true
Seems like your after only the physical
Even if I led the way
You seem to be after something
Someone you can't have
Could it be revenge
Or is your heart as warm as I've only wished
In your arms I feel so safe
So secure
Protected from the world
But I will not be hidden in the dark
I will not allow darkness to destroy you
You tease me without teasing me
For my mind is doing all the trickery
And while I need you around
I'm still so unsure
What it's like to be loved by you
I don't wanna let you go
But I thought I was not an option
Thought you didn't care
I was a scared girl
Who had been broken before
And ran away when she thought
Something she felt was real
I can't go back
But I can't move forward
I'm stuck in between
All I know is
If it's true
I'd like to be loved by you.
