Be my valentine in the morn.
Be my valentine when a new day is born.
Be my valentine in the night.
Be my valentine when the time is just right.
Be my valentine forever more
Be my valentine. It’s you I adore.
I’ve said everything, and now I will say.
Be my valentine on Valentine’s Day.
This is one of my before 2003 poems.
Jazz is strong and so sweet.
It makes your heart skip a beat.
No matter where you are, city or town.
It can be heard all around.
It takes you to another place and time.
It zings you left and right, like a rhyme.
The motion truly sets your mind free.
Its hold is endless and simple to see.
It’s solid, beautiful, soulful, and full of class.
Life would be boring without jazz…
This is one of my before 2003 poems.
Rain on my bitter screams
I say you can never will these
Urges for power & love away.
This is one of my magnetic poetry poems. Written some time between 2006 and 2007.
The rain drops are falling.
Like God is crying from the sky.
Do you hear the rain calling?
Next time listen and try.
Try listening to the rain drops falling
And imagine you can fly.

Dance to the rain drops falling to ground
Dance to the Raining beat
You’d be surprised at raining sound
The makes you move your feet

Sing to the rain drops, sing, sing, sing
And hear them sing along
If you sing with a fling
You’ll hear them sing a song.

Listen, dance, and sing with the rain drops
Never stick out your tongue
Because you know that the rain must stop
And that time of fun is gone.
This was written before of I was 15. I believe this one also got published somewhere. This was back when I loved the rain. In 2011, I lived through a tornado. I don't love the rain as much anymore...
My mother is a very sweet person
Someone who cares
She is a very neat person
Someone that is there
She is the one I tell my secrets to
The one who holds me through sad times
The one tells me what to do
And help me control my mad times

Her hope is as big and strong as a mountain
Her love is more powerful than a tide or a fountain
Her courage is stronger than any on earth
Yet all of these things have no worth
She tells me great stories from long ago
She tells me things I do not know
She can walk into your heart without any feet
And she has powerful speech

I’m crazy about my mother
And she is crazy about me too
If she died, I wouldn’t know what to do
My mother’s heart is as pure as gold
A smile that sparkles like silver
And a spirit like a flower that never withers
She maybe as old as sand
But she is my best friend.
This is my first poem! I wrote in my 7th grade science class. It was published twice. It was the beginning of my poetry career. This was before 2003.
A black goddess is not a God
Not an ideal of worship
She’s a black woman who can make a difference
In other people lives
This is one of my before 2003 poems. I believe this one was published before.
Missed you
Wish you were here
Sometimes when I'm all alone
Nothing there but my thoughts
I think of you and those precious moments I hold so dear
My heart races at the thought of your smile that shines brighter than a light known in existence
Those eyes, oh those beautiful eyes
How they pierce my soul in all the right ways
How they show me you soul, full of all those emotions that make us all human
You voice recorded in my memory
That wonderful sound that makes me stop and smile, because I know when I hear it, you are there
And how can I forget that loving embrace
That bear hug of comfort and warmth.
But here I am
Lonely
Missing you
So I'm going to close my eyes,
Take a deep breath,
Make a wish, and hope that you'll be there when I open my eyes...
This is one of my magnetic poetry poems. Written some time between 2006 and 2007.
In the dark of a dreary night
I think of you
When the sun can’t show its light
I think of you
I wish you were here tonight
I wish you could hold me under the pale moonlight
I wish you were here to hold me tight
I wish you were here

When the creatures sing in the dead of the night
I think of you
When it rains so hard there is no sight
I think of you
I wish you were here to hold me dear
I wish you could keep me near
I wish that with you there is nothing to fear
I wish you were here

I bet if I felt the bliss of your tender kiss
I would wish that I may never miss
A moment without your kiss
Until that day comes, I can only dream
Of what it means to be by your side

Life is only a simple dream
It’s never really what it seems
To this conclusion it only means
I wish you were here…
This is one of my "young and dumbly in love" poems. This was written between 2006 and 2007.
Dog
I use to have a dog,
but now he’s gone away.
Now my days feel like fog
cause I miss him everyday.
He didn’t go to his maker,
not that I know of.
Instead, he ran away,
leaving me sadder than a turtle dove.
This is one of my before 2003 poems. I believe this one was published before. One of my first published poems. It was about my dog named Milow that ran away.
It was instant like coffee.
That’s how our love was from the start.
It was love at first sight, like one of those fairytales.
Our eyes met, I saw into his soul, he saw into mine.
The rest was fate, saying we were meant to be together…
And how he makes me feel when we are together.
My heart beats double time with every sweet word he says.
My eyes water with tears of compassion and joy
with every gift he gives me.
My cheeks blush bright red with every hug.
I go into a love struck daze with every kiss.
I gave him my heart, and he gave me his in return.
What more could a girl ask for?
