Dear Devil
You can't use my past to break me.
Because that's what made me.
And
While I'm walking in your hood,
gonna act like I own the place.
So
Move aside.
Get outta my face.
Ya
Got no power took back what's mine.
Go ahead shine the light show them all my flaws.
Cause
I'm not afraid of who I am.
I am the sum of it all.
So
Be careful of the stranger walking in your hood.
She knows you can't break her
and you never could.

Sitting at the bar trying to go far. flirting with the pretty girls.
Talking bout his Island life. Never ever mentions a wife.
Musing about  walking  free in the sand.
showing off a beautiful tan
but he's doing no harm
just playing it cool.
Then his cell phone rings.
That's when he lets it slip needs to go home to babysit.
The wife says it his turn now.
I look over and see him frown
And
That's when I hear him say.
I need five more minuets
Just five more minuets before I have to call it a day.
I love my little cockroaches but I'm tired  after my day.
Don't want to go home.
And I don't want to play.
I need five more minutes.
Just five more minuets.

Setting alone at a table drink in hand.
Thinking what the Hell.
I just want to dance.
Tired of waiting she downs her drink
walks into the crowd like she owns the place.
As the music takes over.
The rhythm frees her to become the  
Goddess she's meant to be
her moves at first awkward become fluid and fierce
As the beat overwhelms her,
  music invades.
She throws back her head and surrenders
her movements like silk.
Arms in the air she sways and spins
Unaware of her effect on mortal men.
Beauty is fliting
but a woman set free
will dance by herself
for all the world to see.

I spent a life time changing diapers.
Wiping noses and tears.
Cleaning and cooking.
Don’t get me wrong I love my family.
But It’s my turn now.
And
I want more I want me.
Is that too much to ask.
I want to be me.
But first I have to find me.
Where do I start.
When I look in the mirror.
I don’t see me.
Only a vague reflection of who I was.
And I miss her.
Her love of life. Her secret smile.
The way she moved from one emotion to another,
like a humming bird looking for nectar.
I miss the soft lines of her smile
The laughter that brought tears.
The tears that brought laughter.
The way she would spin in the sunshine arms open,
face upturned expectant.
How did I lose her?
Where is she?
how do I find her?
I want her back.
Is that too much to ask.

Soft cresses
Gentle kisses
A desperate stirring
Raw desire exposed
Hands searching
Lips exploring
Bodies entwined
Passion spent

I’m a dreamer not the space cadet type of dreamer but the other kind.
The one who believes that the world can be changed by dreams.
I believe in kindness and brotherly love and living peaceable with my neighbor.
You don’t need to believe as I do to be my friend or counted as family. I will openly share what and why I believe what I believe.  Please feel free to do the same but understand I stand firm in my beliefs.
Just as I expect you will in yours,
you will still have my respect and love even though we my disagree.
I will hear you I will listen I will be respectful of you and your beliefs.
These small attitudes could change the world.
But for some reason the world at large feels that might makes right.
That the biggest gun makes the biggest impact
The loudest rudest voice sets the tone for the conversation.
And so,
the dreamers and those who believe in kindness and brother love
take leave of the conversation.
But the world needs dreamers and kindness and brotherly love.
We have more hate more injustice then we know what to do with.
Its up to the Dreamers Believers
and Kindhearted to step up and step out.
Speak your truth dream your dreams love your fellow humans show them that
Peace is more than a Dream.
Calling all Dreamers step up, step out make your presents known.
We will change the world.

I will never apologize for being who I was created to be.
I’m an open book my faults my flaws my imperfections are all on display.  
Don’t misunderstand me I’m not proud of all my life decisions.
I’ve just accepted that with out them the me you see now would not exist.
Now and always  
I will be the best me I can be
I will love fully I will love deeply I will love madly
I will embrace each day as if it were my last
But I will never apologize for being who I was created to be.
I am the only person I know I can be in this moment.
and I won’t pretend to be more or less to please you.
I’ve earned all my scars they are part of what makes me ME
Now and always
I will be the best me I can be
I will love fully I will love deeply I will love madly
I will embrace each day as if it were my last.
I will never apologize for being who was I created to be.
When I say I love you fully understand that all I am is yours
my heart my mind my soul
When I say I love you deeply I’ll support you ground you hold you in good times and bad.
When I say I love you Madly I’ll join you in this crazy messy life.
I’ll dance in the rain slog through the mud Climb mountains and shout to the world I love you.
Now and always.
I will be the best me I can be
I will love fully I will love deeply I will love madly.
I will embrace each day as if it were my last.
