My Poetry

It's late and I'm up working the graveyard shift.  I'm listening to a call by Dani Johnson.  It's recorded, so you can listen to it HERE.  It is so moving so far!  It's entitled, "Beating The Odds."

I've been working for the past hour on displaying more pages on the home-page of my blog.  I could not figure out how to change that setting!  If any of my readers know how to make it to where more than one page displays on your home-page, please let me know.  It's buggin' the crap outta me!

Yesterday I found myself on myspace.  Before facebook I was a myspacaholic!  I was blogging way back then on the mypace platform.  I was reading some of my posts.  Lot's of it is my poetry.  Man!  I was so poetic back then.  I have to step my creative writing game up again!

I want to share some of my poems with you guys.  I hope you like it!  :)

I am Hip Hop and You're I AM...

Oh, you big time huh?
You a part of the master plan...
I am Hip Hop and You're I AM...
You know things others don't
And if they did...
They still wouldn't really understand.
You say, "What's so wrong?  They puttin' money in my hand."
You know they don't give a fuck about you, ya fam or ya crew
But they give you that loot...
You shoot for the stars and
They let you shine.
Meanwhile back at the ranch ya people is dyin'.
See while you walk around thinkin shit is funny, funny
You turnin' yo people into dummies, dummies...
Yo flow is salty
And yo show is bitter sweet.
You feed me shit
When I need meat.
The words you speak
leave me malnourished and weak.
And they play you on the airwaves every Got Damn week!
You deceive the people
But you steady sayin' WE
WE the people??
You ain't talkin' bout ME!
Cause I believe in unity
And you love to divide.
The rich get in for free
But the poor gotta buy.
You lie to the children.
You say that what's bad is good
And what's good is bad.
That shit make me so sad...
No.
That shit make me so Mad!
But never mad enough to sin.
I fight this battle with love
Cause love always win...

Immense pain and the disposal of it! Poem~

Current mood:artistic

Pain so immense that I wish to dispense it from my soul
So I think of the good times
Hoping to stop this crazy mind of mine
How you doin?
Are you okay?
I say "Yay"
But I lie...
No tears will I cry tomorrow
I pray to God, cause it's He I follow
Give me strength Lord to make it through them days when I can't fake it
I turn to you
Cause your love is truer than the words
"I love you"
Or
"I'm always thinkin' of you"
Better than that song we sang in church Sunday
That I sang all day Monday
Your love is like "Whoa!"
and you're a smooth operator, cause when I call on you I never hear
"Call me back later"
You heal me
You feel me
And never am I too emotional for you
So I'm pouring out my soul!
This immense pain must go!
In the name of Jesus!
Walk out the doe!
And don't you ever, ever come back no mo'!!
Whew....
I feel good~

Again...

Lord, grant me the stregnth to not be moved or uprooted
may I stand firm and hold on to all those things that I've learned,
which you've taught me...
this world is so sick and the fog is so thick
sometimes it's hard to see through it
and so I fall and fumble and my world seems to spin and crumble
and yet you're always there... and you give an ear to my prayer
you say, "Be not afraid!"  and at your word I am strong... again...
ready to fight and ready to win... again...
this time I want to stay and fight until the end
never to put my sword down again, never to let my shield down and the evil one in agian...
I can't afford to let him and his crew take away what's been given to me by You
and though they are strong, you are stronger
and through they are smart, you are smarter
so grant me the wisdom to recognize those things that are sent forth to stabilize my demise...
may I recognize the lies and not fall victim to the many lusts this world thrusts at me
Son of Man!....  That would make me so happy and my joy full...
So...  once again with this paper and pen...
I ask the Father in the name of the Son to grant me all this...
As I put up my fists to fight... agian...

All praises to the Most High GOD in the name of my Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST! AMEN...

Faith and Confession

Current mood:thankful

Oh how my mind runs me crazy sometime
it thinks of nothing good and brings light to all the strife in my life.
I refuse to let my mind be distressed
Not with all the good in my life
like the fact that I'm a mother and wife.
The ultimate sacrafice that was given for the remission of my sins...
This is what I vow to keep my focus on
until the day I'm done and gone.
I won't be dead because of my faith and confession.
I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that I have a place in heaven. ~Mar 18, 2009

 The Gift of Light

Current mood:loved

When you have that bright light

Shining bright on the inside

You can see the dark fight

Going on on the inside

Of the Man and Woman

Livin' life in the twilight

Of lies, greed, fashion

something thick, something handsom

Follow Him

Let it go, sit kick back

And watch how your river of life flow

Now you're out of the twilight

Armed to fight with a sick Blow!

If you lit... You understand

Aint life Grand?

Aint it awesome?

Floss the crown, wild out, act a fool in these streets

Let everybody in on how to live life sweet!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daily Bread!  Mmmm Mmmm Good!

1John 3:1-3

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!  Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.  Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.  And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

1John 3:16-19

By this we know love, because He laid his life for us.  And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.  But whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?  My little children, let us not love in word or tongue, but in deed and in truth.

ONE LOVE

Time Out!

Current mood:amorous

I need to calm down and listen to the sound of leaves rustle

I need a break from this jungle we call LA

Where it's all work and no play

Where everyday a youngen layin' down for good

From gunspray in the Hood

Where those Sirens sound off

People get locked up for shippin' pounds off

To take care of they seeds

Or to push that E-class down tha block

Just to get stopped by the cops

I need a break!

'Cause I got a stomach ache from the drama

People hatin' on each other

Brother agaist Brother

Daughter against Mother

Son against Father

I need a word from the author

'Cause he keep me standin' tall through it all

When haters try to tear me down

Still I stand, firm on solid ground!

I need a break!

So I'ma rest in tha Lord today

And just chill with tha Fam, My Man and My Bay Bay

Sick Woman (PMS) Poem

Current mood:blessed

You did nothin' when yo' woman was sick

It hurt like a hard hit!

Wonder if you love me like you said you did

There's nothin' left to say

I don't want to hear it... Show me love

Like back then, back in tha day

When you gave me back rubs

When you showed me mad love

You protected me from the pain

When I hurt you hurt

Remember?  

That's what you said that day

Your judgements cloudy now

You can't even see when there's hurt in my heart

You say you're an ameteaur

But you were a pro a stealin' my heart

Poem to my Husband

Current mood:amorous

I remember praying for you

Tears fall from my eyes as I thank God for our Love

So rare and true

I remember praying for you

I call you Heaven Sent 'cause since we met

You been tha truth

And you prove it to me everytime you spit a ryme in tha booth

I remember praying for you

You work hard, a workaholic

You do all that you can

To take care of me and your daughter, plus you a man with a plan

I remember praying for you

Your touch still makes me tremble

Your voice still soothes my soul

We've been together for so long

But our love will never grow old

And I remember praying for you

Don't ever think I'll trip hard enought o leave

I'm stayin' with you

Plus I'll always be true

'Cause I remember praying for you

Mo  08/07/08  I love you Boo!

Sometimes Love is Like....

Current mood:rushed

Love is

Love sick

Love struck

Loves like....hmmm...

Love sucks

Love hurts

Loveless hearts ache

For goodness sake make it stop!

We like

We love

We kiss

We hug

We trust

We TOUCH...

Or We make love in love

We live

We learn

Get burned

We learn

We churn inside for revenge

We live

We forgive

We love once again

and yearn for love in return......

Lovin’ Is...To me...

Current mood:indescribable

Lovin' is

Lovin' life

Lovin' roles of  Mom and Wife

Child of God is the thing to be

through Jesus Christ, I've been set FREE

smilin' through adversity

laughin' at the advesary

I walk in Peace

can't Nothin' scare me

I'm lost in Love

ain't no way out

I'm lovin this

Love's Marvelous!

My Prayer For Today

Lord I pray that you keep me humble and I thank you for all the many blessings that you've given to me and my household.  Bless those who love me and also those that hate me and may your love fill me up and overflow onto all those around me and onto all that know me.  I will praise you Father, today and on all days to come!  You are worthy of all the honor, all the praise and of all the glory in the name of our Lord And Savior,  Jesus Christ.  AMEN~ Jul 22, 2008

TODAY I WILL

Current mood:determined

Today I will love like I loved no other day I lived

If you hate me I’ma offer you Gods greatest gift

I’ma smile in yo’ face and behind yo’ back

I’ma keep on lovin and I won’t talk smack

Everywhere I go, I’ma keep a smile on my face

And if you need help then I will righfully take my place

And lend a helping hand

Not doin’ so would be a disgrace

Cause’ when it’s all said and done it’s God I gotta face

What I look like givin him this lame excuse

Like how I let you steal my Joy, how I was mad at you

I know better, so really I ain’t got no excuse

Today I will to keep on lovin’ you
