IBI-da

My lover,my friend
With you I ruled the world.

You gave me a reason to smile,
No matter the turbulence.

I would love you forever, I said,
I did mean my words.

You brought sunshine to my life,
You also restored my dark moments.

You were with me through storms,
Yet you, yes you tried to sink my ship.

I wailed when you walked away,
For with you I felt great.

Yet I am glad you are gone.
Why would I hold on to love not mine?

I thought I would be in love forever,
But those anything last forever?

I bless the day we met,
I curse not the day I wept.

Thoughts of you do come to me,
Yes they do, for I gave you my all.

Through it all; I'm stronger now,
My light shining again bright without you.

I did hurt,
But now I can love again.

The sun won't shine forever,
Though I thought it would.

Fare thee well IBI
My love gone with the wind.

A NEW DAY.

This is a new day
Its your day of greatness
To rise above your weakness
To smile as you step
Beyond your boundaries.


To bring light
To dark hearts,
With your warmth
And capture mortals
With a face forever radiant.


Its a new day
May your smile
Bring delight to our souls
Seeking reasons
To keep living and believing.


A smile on a face
Prettier than Cleopatra's
Sparkles our hopes from within.
We see many reasons then,
To look to the brighter side of this new day.

MY TIME.

Its time,
  To step out and face the world.


Its time,
  To live my dreams.


My flowers begin to blossom,
  For my time is come.


Its time,
  To extend my bounds.


In this time of my increase,
  I can't be cut down.


Its time
  To draw closer to you.


Now is the time
  To tell you how much I love you.


The time is right
  To let you know how wonderful you are.
  And how I long to spend forever with you.

MY HOME.

My home,
My happiness.


Four big hearts,
Three small hearts.


I long to get back to you,
When the heat of the day is past.


No matter how far I am,
You are always in my thoughts.


Though in warmth I dwell here,
I'll love to be with you tonight.


Though weary I lay,
Your warmth, my strength it renews.


Though small you might be,
I need you now that ever.


For if I had one night left,
I'll spend it in you.


My home, my happiness.

SMILE

Nights are dark
But the charming smiles
Of beautiful friends
Light up our bed sides.


Things inevitably go wrong,
Smiles of beautiful friends
Pull us through
The worst of low moments.


Ona,
You smile lightens your face,
Keeps you looking pretty,
And brings light to my heart.

ANGEL OF THE MORNING.

Angel of the morning
Leave me not.
Soothe my pains
Before the day takes you away.


Depressed I awoke,
Fears of the night I still feel.
Dreams unfulfilled I cling to,
Cares of today on my shoulders hang.


Angel of the morning,
Bring my weary soul joy.
Shield me from the hurt,
Which the day brings.

LOSING YOU.

If you love me,
Why would I fear
That you love me
Not?
Why panteth my heart?


All I feel in your presence
Is the shadow of a love
Not much on my side.
My heart is left,
With no emotions for you.


Your smile I feel drifting,
Takes mine away.
Your words say, YOU LOVE ME
Yet my heart yearns that,
You would love me all over again.

DEARIE

My friend
My Sister
My Beloved
You gave me love
To find my feet.


With you
I feel at ease.
Through the waters
I sailed
With you beside me.


When the going
Gets tough,
You reach out to me.
I could move the hills
With you by my side.


Though the world
Aint fair
My dreams
Come true.
For with you, I live on.


I'm blessed,
To have you.
The best to me
You have been.

If I'll have just one friend
I'll love it to be you.

THE MOON ( A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS)

The nights are dark,
The moon peeps out,
Shines through my window,
Its light so bright,
Into my closet.


O that you would stay
With me forever,
To guide my wavering feet,
And bring my heart
To the path I should go.


O moon of hope;
Shine thou thy light,
Stay with me forever.
Fill me with your wisdom
Through dark and lonely nights.


Stay with us
O moon from God.
Teach our feeble hearts,
To love and respect,
Your kind with us still.


That your light
Might bless
And guard our paths
To a brighter
And greater day ahead.
