Dark Spirit

You step up in a path where you’re not wanted

Trying to spread your lifeless fear

Wanting to expel what you don’t want me to hear

Exploiting what you want to empower

Tremble—this is your last hour

I say to you...dark spirit back up off of me

There’s strength here your eyes are too blind to see

His voice is stronger than yours will ever be

Saying no matter what you’re listening to

I can still speak to you

I belong to Him

He belongs to me

I’m His and He’s mine

We roll with a love that will last a lifetime

No obstacle will keep that love from me

He looked down on this docile child and gave her a winning smile

Spreading His arms in abundant care

He gave up His life with no despair

Dark spirit your days are numbered

Defeated by a strength that’s meek, wise, and humble

No matter what you try to do

I will always be more than a conqueror

Your temptations He defeated

At His right hand I am seated

So dark spirit...back up off of me!

A Love Wish-

(Featuring Toni Braxton’s song titles)

lf you dream it—it will come
What am I dreaming and wishing for…

Love—that’s loyal and true

And not just a Fairy Tale romance or a loose Love Affair

I want to Find Me a Man that knows how to love

Make My Heart feel something pure and rare

Not one that’s going to have me on a Roller Coaster, apologizing saying I didn’t mean to Hurt You.

In my unfortunate thoughts I Rewind and reminisce on a past love wanting to ask him Do You Remember When I wanted to know from you How Could An Angel Break My Heart; it was tragic but true. He had me in a state of just Coping in a bad situation. No Way will I be Missin’ such a trifling piece of Deadwood. Because of him I have to wait for a real man to Unbreak My Heart and I Don’t Want To have to wait. Why should I continue being childish wondering Where Did We Go Wrong, vacillating and contemplating Why Should I Care. I want to be a Woman and stop Trippin’ over the one that didn't know how to love; no longer begging him Please…Stay…Why Won’t You Love Me. When will I realize his kind of love is so Yesterday? 

If I Have to Wait, I’ll wait—because as long as I’m Still Breathing, I have a chance for good quality love. The wrong boy took my breath away, but when the right man walks into my life I will effortlessly Breathe Again; and won’t have to sing Another Sad Love Song or wait Seven Whole Days for a call that will never come. When he walks into my life, I’ll hear him declaring softly and gently straight to my heart and soul...You Mean the World to Me. 

Right now, he’s a beautiful faceless silhouette pouring his anonymous presence into my heart. When I finally see him, I know I can confidently say Come On Over Here. In the Late of Night, I’ll look into his eyes by Candlelight, see the joy in his face when I demonstrate how I can love him with my Hands Tied, whispering to him over and over You’re Making Me High; high on a Good Life of love that makes us both feel we're having The Time of Our Lives. He’ll hold me like a Spanish Guitar and I’ll never have to proclaim He Wasn’t Man Enough for Me because he loves me with The Art of Love. He makes my Pulse beat in such rhythmic proportions it feels like a delightful Heart Attack. There's no Sweat when it comes to this man, however, The Heat he brings makes my temperature rise so high I need to Hit the Freeway to cool off blissfully singing to him what a blessing that I Belong to You.

Such gratifying love—so smooth and fluid we Let it Flow with power and grace. I’ll never have to say Love Should Have Brought You Home because he’s always there. I hear him Talking in His Sleep whispering, darling, let me count How Many Ways I love Spending My Time With You. We joyfully let each other know There’s No Me Without You. My Best Friend and everyone else will know I Love Me Some Him. I won't be Sorry when I say to him I Give U My Heart because his heart will forever embrace My Heart. I will sincerely cherish The Little Things he does as Long As I Live. 

~Waking up—I Wish for a true love just like that~

Not Alone

I’m sitting here by myself

Not feeling alone

I’m sitting here by myself

Feeling full and complete

Sitting here by myself…I reminisce

Of the many moments in my time spent alone

Basking in quiet moments of solitude

Sometimes by choice—sometimes not

Sometimes feeling alone—sometimes not

In those quiet times my thoughts run random

While pondering on things specific

In those quiet moments I think of lessons learned

I think of things I wish I had done

I look forward to things that are yet to come

In those quiet moments alone…

I wish sometimes I wasn’t alone

All the while enjoying this quiet place

Soaking in the presence that fills my space

That presence is where I want to stay

It gets me through a lonely day

I look up and receive His joy

His occupation I want to employ

I spread my arms and let Him in

Receiving grace and mercy that’s flows within

He’s with me in my quiet space, therefore…

I’m sitting here by myself

Not feeling alone

I’m sitting here by myself

Feeling full and complete

Psalm of Peace

Whenever I read the 23rd Psalm

It does my heart more good than harm

I am on a path surrounded by pastures of green

Walking beside still waters flowing in a stream

There’s something behind me of which I have no fear

It’s goodness and mercy

I draw them near

When I feel I am not able

Before me my God prepares a table

A table that supplies all I need

From His daily bread my soul does feed

I bask in His courage everyday

He keeps my enemies faraway

In His house I will forever dwell

Living in comfort knowing all is well

I rely heavily on this psalm of peace

Knowing my struggles will some day cease

Who Am I

In the autumn of my existence

I’m a golden leaf hanging from a brown tree

Surviving in a sea of red

With clouds of blue swirling above my head

Rowing on the waves of life

Pushing forward going backwards

Trying to find the right stride

That propels me to push back and move forward

In my prime I’m looking up

Reaching for apples of gold from a basket of silver

Resting on the one who shaped the mountains and stirs the wind

Embracing  a solace that lies within 

Running this race with a blinding speed of vision

Vision that sees and knows all that needs to be seen and known—in its own time

Who am I

I am me

Not trying to be who you think I should be

But being the one I was created to be—in my own way

In my own time

Who am I

I am who I am

In Front of You

You look but you don’t see

You listen but you don’t hear

You seek and you don’t find

To see you must open your eyes

To hear you must open your ears

To find you must search diligently

Open your eyes and I will be seen

Listen with your heart and I will heard

Seek with your heart and soul I will be found

I’m right in front of you
