If the Rain doesn't Pour

And the Eagle doesn't Soar

I enjoy WRITING POETRY because, I just do,
My WRITINGS HELP OTHERS, but
also HELPS ME TOO,
when I feel DOWN and OUT,
or GOING THROUGH,
FEELING SAD and SO LONELY and
feeling SO, SO BLUE,
Do you feel the same way??
I know that you do,
I've been in your shoes, and
I DO HAVE A CLUE.
But It'll okay, there's NO NEED for SORROW
JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER:
there's a BETTER TOMORROW,
JESUS is the ONE,
who will MAKE A WAY,
Turn your DARKENED NIGHTS,
into a BRIGHTER DAY,
Just live by HIS GRACE,

You keep telling us LIES, and
keep FEEDING US FIBS,
you are CONCEALING
HIDDEN SECRETS,
to what you REALLY DID,

You keep TELLING LIES,
from ANOTHER to ANOTHER,
To back up THOSE LIES,
to use another LIE to COVER!!!

You keep SPREADING LIES,
We keep HEARING RUMORS,
But, your LIES will
COME TO SURFACE,
not LATER, but SOONER!!

Now, TELL US THE TRUTH,
You think that we are FOOLISH,
But, We Really are not,
So, come clean with
WHAT YOU DID!!!

Now, TELL US THE TRUTH,
You Keep trying to DECEIVE,
Your LIES sound so DOUBTFUL,
THAT THEY ARE HARD TO BELIEVE!!!

You think you got AWAY,
or that you are GETTING BY,
You BETTER CONFESS and
QUIT TELLING THESE LIES!!!

It's REALLY AMAZING,
The question is WHY???
You LIE SO GOOD,
you BELIEVE YOUR OWN LIES!!!

It not a SUPRISE,
we come to REALIZE,
The TRUTH IS HIDDEN,
Within the LIARS DISGUISE!!!

IT'S seen in your DEMEANOR,
You can't help BUT TO LIE,
Like the BOY WHO CRIES WOLF,
The WOLF ATE HIM ALIVE!!!!

He kept pulling PRANKS,
like HE was GETTING BY,
But, no one BELIEVED HIM,
The LIES lead TO HIS DEMISE!!!!

(Silly writing sense of humor)
If there were some kind of conflict between all the Holidays!! This is how it would be!!
(I apologize for it being so long!!!)



Christmas was Robbed!!
Leprechaun stoled Christmas!!
but Not the grinch "NO!!"
but the Leprechaun!! "YES!!"

Cos, the grinch stoled his gold,
He was uncanny, evil, bold.
It does seem kinda odd that
Kris Kringle just got Robbed.

The Easter Bunny got
Robbed from Cupid but
come on now that's really stupid.
Cupid took over Easter, so in revenge,

The Easter bunny took Valentines and
brought it to an end!!
The Easter Bunny thought he and
Cupid were Friends
Because, to the Easter Bunny,
he thought the
Friendship would mend!!

Once again, the Leprechaun had
gotten Robbed "Thrice!!!"
From our American Uncle
and that wasn't very nice.

Uncle Sam stoled his taxes,
his gold and Color green
now, that was wrong and
was downright mean.

Instead of Red, White and blue,
He saw the color green and
I mean like literally!!!

So, to get him back because
that wasn't cool,
month April stoled 3 colors
the Red, White and Blue,
Just to get him back and
to make him the April Fool.

Halloween stoled Thanksgiving and
the Turkey away
And told him:
you'll never see
A Day of Giving or your Turkey
Again!!

A Day of Giving was calm and
said that's alright!!
I have no beef with you,
you have one frightful night.
people are
Thankful like Everyday!!!
celebrating Thanksgiving
which falls on Thursday.

So, go away now because
you're such a fright,
Give back my Turkey and Thanksgiving
and to you have a Scary Fright!!!
On your one and only Night!!!
As you can see and
Holidays not mentioned,
they  also agree!!

I really wanted to hang today, but
you had to leave, and go far away,
I like your Aura,
You have such a Bright Light,
Just a conversation with you
brings to me Delight,
You Sparkle like a Diamond,
that lights up the night,
We haven't really conversed
for quite a while, but
When you are in my presence,
YES!!!
YOU DO MAKE ME SMILE!!!
you were on my mind today,
I hope that you are good, and
that things are okay,
I wish you the best, and
hope all is well, this I pray,
If you're not too busy, or
happen to come around,
Maybe we could just chill,
or even hit the town,
You and I can just chill,
YEAH!!!
WHAT DO YOU SAY??
Get lost, break free,
Where They run and play,
I hope we could do this,
real soon, and one day.
I would like to check on you,
I will drop a line,
We could get a bite to eat, and
That would be just fine,
We could be amongst those
who Wine and dine, or
Maybe just relax,
do nothing, or unwind,
If not anytime soon, then
MAYBE NEXT TIME!!!

In these times we are LIVING IN,
it is HARD TO REVEAL,
Whether if GENUINE or FAKE,
It's a THING we all have to DEAL.
Of all of the MAKEUP,
of a FACE that IS CONCEALED,
LASHES, WEAVES, and TATTOOS,
Of a FACADE is your COMFORT and SHIELD
We HIDE BEHIND these THINGS because
We just CANNOT UNVEIL,
We don't want to BE JUDGED or
hear how PEOPLE REALLY FEEL.
So, In these DAYS and TIME,
We SHIELD our OUTSIDES FROM WITHIN
We don't want to SHOW the REAL US,
INSTEAD we CHOOSE NOT to
BE GENUINE!!!!

Your BUSINESS WILL BE OUT THERE,
VERY SOON AND TODAY!!,
IF ONLY YOU SAY
THE RIGHT THINGS,
TO THE ONES
WITH ITCHING EARS,
then you won't be hit with,
EMBARRASSMENT and FEAR,
If you want to SHUTDOWN

Tell them to
MIND THEIR BUSINESS,
and find BUSINESS of their OWN!!!

If these walls could talk,
many stories will unfold,
From the past, present and future,
Is history being told!!

Just look around and just see,
The Vintage, and the quality,
of how long things have lasted,
To this day, is well kept beautifully!!

A House that's of the old,
a lineage, from way back when,
for many generations have come and gone,
that has so much history within!!

If these walls could talk,
they would tell you,
about your ancestral, historical past,
It is now passed down to your era,
So, that your Ancestry will Last!!

People of today are HURTING,
This is an ISSUE that is very CONCERNING,
It SHOWS in their DEMEANOR,
IT'S DISCERNING,
A HELPING HAND is what
they are YEARNING.

A SHOULDER to LEAN ON,
to WEEP and to CRY,
FOR SOMEONE to CARE and
to be by THEIR SIDE.

To VENT, DECOMPRESS, and
for YOU to LEND AN EAR.
To LET GO of FRUSTRATIONS and
also their FEARS.

HOLDING ON TO GRUDGES
FROM SO MANY YEARS,

The HURTING, the PAIN,
the LOSSES and the GAINS,
THE HEALING IS A PROCESS, but
The SUFFERING, IT REMAINS!!!

ASK GOD FOR HIS GUIDANCE,
HE WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY,
THE PEOPLE ARE HURTING,
GIVES US COMFORT, THIS I PRAY!!!

The LIGHTHOUSE 
BEAMS out a
 BEACON OF LIGHT,
 to direct SHIPS and  MARINERS
during the 
DARKENED NIGHT. 
It helps to GUIDE THEM,
and gives 
 NAVIGATION,
On the SEAS, for the SHIPS 
to their FINAL DESTINATIONS.
This POEM, that I write

We are just like these SHIPS,

The ripple effects of
the water is calm,
baby waves moving
along the shoreline,
Poems, Lyrics, Sonnets, and
haikus of all kinds,
the crashing of currents
of powerful Tides.
Words to inspire, to
motivate, and to encourage,
Conquer these dark seas,
and build up some courage,
you are above the water,
don't let it bring to you discourage.
Words can express and
bring to you hope
When you are tired and
weary, and when you have to cope
These murky sea waters
may be your downfall,
A helping hand needed or
for someone to call,
just be assured
CHRIST IS THE ANSWER,
TO IT ALL!!!!

To Poetry or not to Poetry, that is the Question!!
Shall I write poetry or not write poetry? That is the question
Shall I recite poetry or not recite poetry that is a suggestion
Shall I study poetry or not study poetry that is an observation
Can I be loved or not be loved
that is the affection
Can I deal with life or not deal with life
that is called Life's Lessons
Can I share my feelings or not share my feelings they would be my Expressions
Shall I acknowledge or not acknowledge
These are my confessions.
If I will, if I won't, if I can, if I don't
If I must, I will try
to continue as I write.
To Poetry or not to Poetry, that is the Question!!
I would say yes
If I was asked to do so,
I would do it as a
Profession

In my mind, I am too
old to be having crushes,
It takes Just one thought
of you, and my Soul just gushes,
I can't shake the feeling my heart
Just rushes,
I can't hold in my Emotions and
My face just blushes,
I get real nervous when
you come around,
the butterflies in my stomach
don't want to settle down,
I keep my composure
trying to be cool,
Just one false move will
have me looking like a fool,
I can't help myself, but
What can I say???
I won't pay him no mind
I'll just look the other way,
focus on something other than him
keeps it to myself,
cos, in my heart I can't win,
I wont tell a soul,
I'll keep it on the Hush,
I shall never, ever reveal to
the world My Crush!!!

Is it a crime
that I love you so much,
A Love-Hate relationship
at times could be rough,
we love one minute and
the next minute we hate,
our love isn't perfect but
we still appreciate,
It isn't the worst, and
It isn't so great,
the lovers out there, can
definitely relate,
I want you one minute and
next time I don't,
we keep playing games but
we will, but we won't,

If This Love-Hate is criminal,

The buzzing of the bee's
The singing of the birds
The power and strength of these encouraging words,
The Clouds in the sky
That are up so very High
The skyscrapers can climb
As the airplanes are flying by
What a beautiful day
feeling good to us all
The call of the wild,
Is our beck and call,
The beautiful seas,
Of the ocean breeze,
So, still and so calm,

Step one, two, and three,

Before you judge me,
First, hear me out
You don't know where
I have been, or what
I'm all about.
you need to know that,
I have been through a lot,
I have gone through some stuff,
stomach twisted in knots,
These roads have been rocky,
I have had enough,
I have walked many miles,
Trials have been rough
I have come a long way
I have walked a long while,
One foot after the other,
been walking for miles,
It's been really hectic,
got me singing the blues
I'm trying to endure,
and push right through
What more can I say,
I done all I could do,
OH YEAH,

POETRY IS ART,
Like PAINTING WORDS
with a PAINTBRUSH,
VERY SLOWLY, DON'T RUSH,
LYRICAL WORDS as to
an ARTIST PAINTING PALLETTE,
Giving a VISUAL EFFECT of
POETIC GIVEN TALENT.
Every STROKE of the BRUSH,
Is to the WORDS that are DRAMATIC,
When your CREATIVITY is DONE,
You look upon it and say:
FANTASTIC!!!!
It may have TAKEN A WHILE but
yet you're STILL VERY PROUD,
YOUR WRITINGS DO STAND OUT,
IT'S ACCOMPLISHED, COMPLETE
and AS AN ARTIST YOU SMILE!!!

HAPPINESS!!,
BLISS!!,
now, Who
Wouldn't
want this???
a time of Compassion,
of Love, and
Tenderness,
THE BURNING FLAMES
OF LOVE,
A FEELING YOU
CAN'T RESIST!!!
A BEAUTIFUL
RELATIONSHIP!!!,
LOVE AND AFFECTION,
A GENUINE
PARTNERSHIP!!!
WRAP UP IN a
MARVELOUS CONNECTION!!!
This is something
that people wished
they  had,
nowadays,
It's IRRELEVANT, and
that makes some
very sad, but
on the contrary, I think
LOVE IS STILL TRUE,
IF THE FIRE IS HOT,
THEN LET IT IGNITE
WITHIN YOU!!!!
So, Be with the one
that you
TRULY DESIRE!!!
As you venture
into the
LOVE OF
BURNING FLAMES OF FIRE!!!!!!

You seem so Different,
you are just not the same,
I am starting to notice
that you have CHANGED!!

The things you use to Do,
The things you use to Say,
Has all Subsided, and
has gone FAR AWAY!!!

They say CHANGE IS GOOD!!
It's like you have TRANSFORMED!!
You're a Different person now,
Who could ask for more!!

You seem so different,
From the inside out,
You're a Changed Individual,
Now, what's that all about?

I like this NEW YOU,
I'm not gonna LIE,
You seem MORE COOL,
and yet REALLY FLY!!!

There's a Change in you,
that I have come to notice,
Your CALM, ENERGETIC,
and indeed your
MORE FOCUSED!!

I Like the New You!!
No, I don't find it STRANGE,
I'm just putting it to NOTICE,
THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED!!!!

CHUBBY BELLY and
a BIG OLE *****,
I can't help that,
I CAN'T HELP that
I'M CURVY.
CHUNKY MONKEY,

CURVACEOUS, VOLUPTUOUS,
To me,
I think that's
SIMPLY MARVELOUS.
There's NOTHING WRONG
with BEING LARGE,
I got it GOING ON, and
I know I'm IN CHARGE.
YOU GOT A PROBLEM
WITH IT???,
That's OKAY, it's COOL,
You better GET OUT
OF MY WAY, or
I'LL ROLL ALL-OVER YOU!!!!
I am not
SLIM JIM, nor
am I
SKINNY MINNY,
I am BIG BONDED SISTAH, and
the MEATINESS IS PLENTY.
There's NOTHING WRONG
with HAVING SOME CURVES,
I'm FABULOUS, and FLUFFY and
JUST FEELING SUPERB!!!!!!
I think that's GRAND, and
I think that's SWEET,
Now, RESPECT MY SIZE,

PLEASE LISTEN to your ELDERS,
For THEY KNOW WHAT IS BEST,
CLING ON to THEIR WORDS,
LET IT
MARINATE, and  REST.
DON'T COP AN ATTITUDE, or
GIVE THEM ANY LIP,
(JUST PLEASE RESPECT YOUR ELDERS),  and
(KEEP YOUR LIPS ZIPPED!!!)

They say:

(THERE AIN'T NOTHING NEW
UP UNDER THE SUN!!)
(THEY'VE BEEN THERE AND
DONE THAT), and
(YOU ARE JUST HAVING FUN!!)
SO, YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL,
COS, the GOING GETS TOUGH,
THEY SAY:
KARMA is a B** and
IT WILL BITE YOU IN THE ****.
OUR ELDERS KNOWS BEST,
THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND THE WAY,
CAN TELL YOU STORIES WAY BACK
UNTIL THIS VERY SINGLE DAY
I'M JUST BEING HONEST!!!
NO SHADE, 
NO LIES,
BE RESPECTFUL,
NOT REGRETFUL,
OF THE WORDS OF THE WISE!!!!

If they don't like, or
want to be around you,
then let them go,
If people appreciate you,
they will let you know,
no time for discouragement,
This I do deplore,
You can tell Satan, and
his demons
that they can hit the door,
You need no negativity
in your space or Life
No headaches, confusion,
bickering or strife,
People can be so onery,
Trying to make you feel low,
If you want to have Peace
then just
LET THEM GO!!!

Where has my LOVE GONE
for my LOVE has GONE ASTRAY
to the POINT of no RETURN
So DISTANT and FAR, FAR AWAY

My LOVE is NO LONGER AROUND
So, from this TRAUMA I DO PRAY
To MEND MY BROKEN HEART and
FIND HAPPINESS AGAIN ONE DAY!!!
