I want a sure thing
Someone to tell me not to worry bout a thing
Because everything is going to be alright
Someone to take it nice and slow
He would be the sweetest thing I’d ever know
And buttah love spread between kisses
All hands, lips, winding hips
no guidance
And when I show him
don’t
he takes no chances
What brings a tear of joy to your eye?
Notes of love and appreciation from my students 🥰
My love is violent, too hot to hold
The longing burns deep inside my chest
Like a fire up in my bones
Weary, longing for rest
With my hand laid faintly upon your heart
Beating against my ear as we lie in wait
Hoping time will create
a space for us
A pyre with the past as timber
And loves past as the embers
That rise afloat the very breath of God
Who gathered us like kindling
Perhaps you were the love of another lifetime
Whom my hearts been hard pressed to find
The very thing my soul longs for
I have it all but yet want more.
I haven’t known a love like this
I heard you before you came
Lifted my head like you called my name
One day I will have the courage to tell my tale. I won’t be afraid of those who won’t believe me or just brush it off. There will be someone on this earth whom I could always trust to try to understand. I am a vault, so much so that when I was dying inside I looked like I was winning. In spite of it all God honored my prayers and blessed me and my children. Although I played a silent role in that film, I was the director and producer.
Just watched a video of Tabitha Brown testifying about the goodness of the Lord. As she describes her lowest state, I resonated so deeply with that. To see where God has brought her in 6 short years is mind boggling. At this big age; I wonder if there is a better life out there for me. I have always had my dreams of grandeur for my life, but it just never came to be. It never was the reality I so desperately wanted at every stage and phase of my life.
I have always thought that it could be better. People could be kinder, loyal, loving and true. I always knew I deserved better, yet in the most desolate of times there was always a ram in the bush. And every time I made it out I was given even more hope in the beauty of life and humans.
And one day I decided to come out of the shadows, to speak up for myself and those I loved. That I and we would not be misused any further. That the generational pattern ended with him and me; EVEN IF that ended him and me. The cost was way too high, I could not risk the very reasons I lived and persevered.
When the jig was up, the mask fell off and I was public enemy number one, in a new city and unemployed.
You’ll find grace here because I’ve been in your place
You’ll find that I’m fit to tie shoes unlaced
Can empathize with every predicament
Can sympathize in whatever state your in
I know I don’t look like I’ve been to hell and back
Cried oceans of tears, almost drowned in my sorrow
My brood the only reason for waking up on the morrow
Wishing each gasp of air was my last breath
Beat my chest at God wanting Him to end it.
And he did
But I didn’t go out like no bitch
So there are no excuses
So here is the short and quick of it.
Know yourself, to thine own self be true
Become the person you’ve always wanted to
Be, have, and needed as a child and teen
Kill your inner victim, you’re your greatest enemy
Make peace with God and self, it’s time to fly free
Ask our fathers on the ancestral plane
To lead and guide you to victory and out of pain.
You’re not a child, stop taking unnecessary risks.
You’re a man now, stop putting up with your own shit.
Be the parent your child would be proud to have
Be the partner and lover who secures the bag
It’s all so very simple but you’d rather make it hard
Only night reveals who you really are.
Shine bright king, you’re the captain of your ship,
on to other harbors, you’re well equipped.
Tap in and don’t take another sip or inhale
Until you’ve set the intention to prevail.
*Joshua 1:9 – Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
