How do I tell her
That for years
I've pretended
To be friends
But every time
I see her
There's something
Heavy growing
In my chest

That feelings
Of affection
Grow stronger
And deeper daily
I can no longer
Hold me
Anymore

How would it sound
To her
That her smile
Brightens my day
And Whenever
I hold her close
To me
My heart
Rejoices
She's where
I wanna be
For the rest
Of my life

How do I tell her
That for years
I've been slowly
Dying
On the inside
Daily
When I see her
And
I'm still dying

How do I say
"You cross
My mind
Now and then
I've always
Been feeling
You were
The piece
To complete me"
To her

Wouldn't it break
Years of friendships
If I expressed
My love
And she don't feel
The same ?

I fear rejection
Would She love me
Like I love her ?
Or break my heart
Like all the others ?

I've always
Loved her
How do I tell her
How do I say
"I love you"

We were once Sugar and tea
You added sweetness in my life
Ours was a story
For our grandchildren,
An inspiration to love
But somehow good things
Never last, so they say,
Feelings of affection grew lesser
Each day, Love was no longer there
Only memories remained,
Sharing a room and bed
But living  in separate worlds
A decision to go separate ways
Had to be reached, And
So our separate ways we went
Neither do i blame you
Nor my self
For the separation
Love had left us,
A good story  with a sad ending
We now pass each other  
Like us never existed
Who knew lovers could be strangers

Central Africa
Is being used As a war zone
To keep us away from it
As we can naturally
Fall back into the center of Africa
Whenever feeling unsafe
Like they would recede
To Poland and Greenland
In times of great hot need

They think they have us
All pinned down
With puppet black presidents
That get elected by black people
Only to take advise
From Europe and ignore
African voices
It is a masonic ploy
To keep the greenest
Natural garden of Africa
As  war zone
To curtail our movements
And keep us locked up
In small pockets
For the finishing blows

it make no sense
Why the central Africans
Never find their peace
Those green lands
Could be farms
Of food to sell us
And cut high prices
It is a masonic plan
Against Africa
Using trusted leaders

Mixed feelings
Mixed emotions
But happy ones,
Yesterday my life had no meaning
Today everything changes
I now have a purpose

Unplanned
But well received
Everything happens for a reason,
She broke the news to me
Last night
"Baby I'm pregnant
You have planted a seed
In me,
A flower is about grow
We must take responsibility
For our actions"

"I'm 'bout to enter motherhood
You fatherhood,
We 'bout to become parents
No longer living for ourselves
But for two ,
Responsible For a life,
A life that should bring
Joy And Happiness
To our hearts,
My love I carry for you
A Prince or Queen"

Though
My stomach
Was filled
With butterflies
But
I smiled at her ,
Grabbed her hand
And said
"It seems we stuck together
For life now,
Baby For the little one
Let's ride this train
Of love together
To the far corners
Of the universe
And
Where the railway
Ends
We spread our wings
And
Fly,
Today I promise you
Together
Forever"

When I die
Search for me
Among the million silver stars
In the sky,
There in each star you'll find me

When the sun shines
Bright in the blue sky
With birds flying above
Remember am starring at you
From the clouds smiling above

As your skin feels the blowing winds
Of spring
Blowing day and night
Known in them, is evey touch from me

And
Whenever you miss my face
Just close your eyes slowly
An' there I will be, beside you
Holding your hand
Like all days

Mama
Its graduation day
The day has finally come

A day
You've waited for
Your whole life

A day
We've both been waiting for

A day
Where I get to scream
Your name
With The words "I made it "
Like all those
Who made it before me

Mama
The dreams and aspirations
You passed on To me
Have been achieved

The mission
Has been fulfilled
Our shared vision
Has been Visualized

The feeling
Can not be explained
Its not so long ago
When I wore
My first
black and white Uniform
Attending
My first grade

Today I'm wearing
That black gown
You've always
Pictured me in
Receiving
A piece of paper
I've invested almost
Half my life in

The dream
Is kicking in
Couldn't have done it
Without you
I owe you a lifetime
Wish
You were here
With me
By my side
To hold my hand
But sadly
Death
Had other plans
For you

God  took you
So soon
But
I
Cry
Tears of joy
For I know
All
My
Life
You've been
A guardian Angel
In
The
SKY

©

Water Flows My Cheeks
When I look At You
I See A Happy Past
And What Was Once
A Supposed Future........

Visions of what could
Have been
Keep Flashing
My Head...............

It Hurts To See
That What Could Have Been
Is Now A Broken Glass
Impossible Fix...............
