Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow,Forever

I love the way you look at me
Eyes light up, 
Naughtiness playing on the curve of your mouth.
Still have the power to,
Heighten my senses 
Just by your presence.
My body has its own ambition,
It seems like the response is endless
Unbelievable.
Never met someone like you
Addicted to you,
Addicted to your love.

Denial sometimes... 
I slap myself to waken.
What the hell is wrong with me?
We are where the magic happens,
Unintentionally forsaken.
Just so you're aware,
I see your imperfections. 
I want you to see mine.
Our future is never going to always be smooth.
No matter what, 
We will work it out in time.
For every tear,
We will celebrate a thousand smiles.

What do you say my love, 
Take my hand,
Hold on tight,
Promise to never let go.
I promise to be beside you,
Right there, 
Closer than close,
When you breathe, I breathe.
When you feel like your'e going to fall,
I will balance you.
Keep you up, 
Make sure you're always  standing tall.
When you do fall,
And this is inevitable, 
I will pick you up, 
Kiss your boo boo
And wack you back into shape.
With all the love I have.

Lets take care of each other
Love one another till death do is part
Forever will never be forgotten 
My forever is with you.

I love you 

Yesterday, today, tomorrow 

Be mine,
Forever.
Let me hold your hand,
Feel you,
Through great times,
And times of sorrow.
Wallow on the comfort of my embrace
I'm right here baby,
Love me,
Addicted to your love,
Even when you try to hide it,
I see you...
I feel you. 

Connection  of souls, 
Not just bodies,
Our minds are endless, 
With each other.
Make memories with me,
I may have never been your first,
Let me be your last.
Let me have our babies,
Our love will flourish forevers to come.
Forevers will never be forgotten 
Forever is ours.

I love you juju

Yesterday, today, tomorrow 

Forever...

Should'Ve Would'Ve Could'Ve

Reality strikes
Almost in a dreamlike state
Slow motion
However sudden
Indifferent to any other
Dreams turned to nightmare  
instantly 

I feel so worthless 
For some time now
A whore
A slut
Good for nothing
Ruined.
Not easy to acknowledge 
But this is how you made me feel.
Almost protected you
Nearly to the death
You left me hung out to dry
Hateful manner so cold
You are your father's son
Its about time you got told.

Pushed away constantly 
Not just you
Everyone.
You are supposed to protect me
Not turn my heart into stone.
Left desolate
Almost like I was just left there
Left to die.
Searching for solace
A warm embrace
Didn't want to feel alone
Need love to fuel my strength.
Took alot for me to let you in
I would have let you win.
Too late now, 
Go scrape the barrel, 
That's where you are going to have to start again.

I have my own story
Not full of excitement, laughs and glory . 
Contentment with brutality
Isolated hurt
Not  belonging anywhere.
Trying to find myself
I thought it was safe to let you in.
Sad to say this is not the way I wanted our lives together to begin.

Tired  of trusting those who fail me
I gave you all the faith I could.
Never enough
Your insecurities  spilled over to me
I thought it was fair that
I shared them with you
I let you in
I didn't know I had to be strong for  both of us. 
Restart, 
Never
I'm not sure if I'm stong enough to begin again

Here I am
Back at square one
This time not just broken
Here I am
Right here in front of you
Shattered 
Just how you left me
We were almost there 
You see
We could have been happy.

Always been blamed
Led to believe I need to live a life in shame.
Nothings changed
Different kind of man 
Lit a forever kind of flame.
I thought you would walk the walk,
Sadly, 
You could not even talk the talk. 

Judging me like you are God 
Nothing but a fool
You won the 1st prize  with my heart
Yet you always felt as though  you lost.
Never wanting to ask 
Your back up against the wall
I can't believe how you let me down
I can't believe how you let me fall
So many chances given to you to show me your strength,
Sadly, I should've known better 
Would've saved me the disappointment 
Could've saved face when you fell from grace

A lesson for my love
Appreciate what is in front of you
Not many get a chance at my love
Talk to me, 
Let us gain strength  
Enjoy our shared love 
It costed nothing,
We could have been forever free.

Kind to all but me
Smiles shared to all but me
Nice to all but me
Anger and nastiness 
Trash I am not
My special moments missed 
Because of your disdain.
I really don't care
For the reasons of your absence. 
You magnified your own pain.

Should've left me alone
Would've been left in one piece
Could've been ok
I should've pushed you away harder
You would've never had a chance to drop me
I could've been ok.

Stranger Before Me

Stranger my love before my eyes become.....
Fond memories recollected,
A love  so, so, so, strong,
Never could either heart without the other belong.
Succumb to the ghost I feared,
Nothing,
Not a blink from an eye,
Or tear be shed.
Sadness unlike no other,
My heart to pieces,
In a second, 
He did shred. 
Unfelt embrace,
Afraid to even look at your beautiful face.
Don't want you to see,
Let me make believe...
Acting out feign happiness,
A masterpro!
Pretending presence pretense
Aaaah the suspense,
Play the role to the T,
Losing my emotional sense
Starting to believe myself easily.
Keep on playing,
How much longer?
I ponder.
He loved the way I smelled....
That much of remember. 
Questioning a possible wonder,
Did I get through all of his lightening and all of his thunder?
Shaken up as much as me,
Had to be the better person,
Dammit!
Why me?
Should've known better, 
Figured this out before. 
Get anywhere close to him,
My mind shuts down past the floor, 
My heart speeds on 6th gear,
Future insecurities strolling in, 
With trepidation and with fear.
Who are you stranger?
Been developing for some time now.
Showing yourself,
Now and then.
Does it feel great to finally be out of your playpen?
Stranger, stranger, stranger 
Please get lost!
Don't want your kinda damn staining.
See,
Even you, my love,
Can't see me feigning. ..

Just a Dream

Was this all in my head?
Heart heavy,
This sinking feeling.
Ache, 
Devastatingly painful,
The end is no longer near,
It is here.
In a blink of an eye, 
Realisation hits with a force. 
So strong, I can't ignore,
Violently, I am shaken to my core.
Waving that white flag,
I surrender my control,
Divine timing,
Forevers filled with smiles of yesterday. 
Manifest a love unknown to him,
I feel so deep.
Emotionally unavailable,
Still in limbo.
Body that warmed his bed,
Arms of comfort,
Kisses sweetened with love,
To him,
Only momentary. 
My heart, you bleed,
Forsaken and thoughtless. 
Should've known better that to trust,
Actions of lust disguised with the lace 
Of affection. 
Only ever in the moment.
Strength, I call you,
Disconnect my heart from my mind,
So peace of healing I may find.
You don't even realise,
How you lost me in a second.
The penny you dropped,
In a single world when I was in it.
Shock my heart to smithereens,
Clear as daylight.
Not sure what I was really.
Tears down my face,
Burning the pain in streams.
Be strong, sweet child,
Close your eyes,
Breathe.
This was nothing,
Just a dream.

Force of Grace

FORCE OF GRACE

Force of grace,
My heart did shake.
Motherly love,
Cuddled up snuggly,
In your big, warm embrace.
Remember my butterfly kisses,
All over your face!
Bursts of laughter, 
All of a sudden!
Tummy aches, breathlessness,
Tears streaming down your cheeks.
Moments like those,
Dozens upon dozens.

Trusted confidant,
Counsellor of humanity.
The extensions of my love,
Unquestionably heaven sent,
My dear, sweet heart,
You did enchant.

I have not forgotten you,
No possibility of that be true.
A mum I dream to be.
Unbelievable measures of
Unconditional love.
Blessing like no other.
Never, ever forget,
You are GOD's  greatest treasure.
Forgive my broken heart.
It sadly knows no other way to heal.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
I'm sorry I broke my promise.

Inconsolable, solitary tribulations.
Both seeking ways for a brand new start.
One blinder than the other.
Dually pained love,
Almost like a hand,
In a perfectly fitted glove.
Most precious gift you have blessed.
Standing out of every crowd.
Thank you for him.
For that, stand tall, Be proud.

Till I see you again...

I wish you blessings upon blessings.
May GOD keep you safe, with never ending  favours.
May the light and force of grace,
Echo joyous laughter and
Illuminate radiant smiles.
Remember I love you.
You wonderful, beautiful woman.
One of the strongest and smartest I have ever known.
Unique by fate,
A forever kinda force.
No one like her,
No one like my mummy Grace.

Insatiable Insanity

Eyes sealed 
Forever of ecstasy in sight
Deliciousness beyond comparison 
Flavoured delight
Taste of you 
Lingering sweetness 
Streaming through my veins 

Lights little too bright 
Sounds hyper resonant
Skin tickled kisses
Taste..... indescribably decadent 
Senses wrecked by insanity of lustful wanting
Insatiable.

Dripping delicious 
Desires awakened 
Needful taboo come a knocking
Surrendered passion
Over and over 
Again
Mind shattering eruptions 
Constantly losing focus
Consumed by hunger
My only direction is you.

Failing To Win

Memorable moments mystified by gilted pardons,
Iridescent solicitude. 
Exclusiveness of me and you. 
Purge uncertainties born historically of mislaid intent.
Time presently misspent. 
Risked future wagered, 
Unbelievable carelessness. 
Could one ever surrender fate?
Retrospectively regretful. 
Oblivious to your affection,
Anticipated rejection,
Trecharous resurrection. 
Should have known better...
Radiance nothing more than a shimmer,
Basking in your aura of indifference, 
Admittance to thine self,
Radiance only existed in sight of mine.
Capitulation of souls into feign eternity of sentiment.
No desire to allow our beings to grow for the horizons to follow.
That was our definition.
Somewhat a fool I admit.
Unnecessary pretence.
Insolence pasted across your face.
Incessant disdain,
Safeguarded me of all my aches and my pains.
Indestructible walls, 
Higher than before,
Shield my broken heart and shattered dreams .
Buried in expired devotion.
No windows for light to shine through. 
No escape, 
No sign of a door.
Time to let the healing begin.
No where to go.
Sit tight sugar,
My lesson has been learned.
Nothing more humbling than failing to win.

Unexpected

I have this feeling, 
Kinda excited, 
Little anxious. 
Body on edge, 
Sends my mind reeling. 
Can't stop smiling. 
Does he think of me I wonder? 
Bit of a fumbler. 
Blissfully daydreaming, 
That first kiss,
Hmmmm, 
Lips so tempting. 
Enibriated confusion,
In total splendor.
Anticipation delightful,
Make it worth the wait,
Unfocused stares, 
Playing tricks on my mind. 
A delicious little escape, 
That's all it will be, 
Unfortunately. 
Good enough for me, 
Actually. 
Can't sacrifice, 
My dear heart, 
That's right there on my sleeve. 
Pinch of salt, 
Grain of sand, 
Arms length distance, 
That's where he will stand. 
Unexpected to say the least, 
Turned out nicer, 
However, 
Still somewhat a beast. 
Walls sky high, 
Too high for just anyone 
To reach. 
Always on guard, 
Protecting my heart,
Sadly irreparably scarred.
Nicely unexpected, 
So, so nice. 
So much smiles, 
I even heard my own laughter. 
In my head you'll stay. 
That way, 
We will never have to part ways.

Broken

Barely holding on
Stretched to the max
Bruised 
Battered
Beaten into believing
Broken
I’m not worth having.
All I did was love you 
Thought we were one 
Brought into union of destiny 
Forever bond we never knew should be
How mistaken was I,
Poor little me.
Prodded
Pricked
Pushed away 
My bleeding heart 
Pouring 
Waterfalls aching with sadness
From a loss I never had.
Tear soaked pillows
Endless nights crying
Sleepless
Longing 
For the love 
I thought I always deserved. 
Loneliness echoes 
Exhausted attempts
Choice not to understand 
Nauseating 
Never-ending 
Narcissism 
Notwithstanding a show you put on.
Basking in your glow 
Aura of selfishness.
Keep away I say
Keep me strong I pray. 
True love on the way…….

Stone Heart

Stone cold
Frozen in time.
Turn your head away
No one means anything.
Shrug off the pretense
Believe in nothing.
Just you...
Don't waste time,
Indifference thrown away.

Frozen,  harder than ever
Never again 
Add your layers
Brick by brick,
ice melts, 
Can't risk anymore.
Oblivious,
Each time you rocket to the floor.
Turned to stone
Keep building baby,
Higher and higher...
Let no one in
This is the only way to begin again. 
Shielded strength. 
Turn around,
Keep walking, run if you must.
Don't stop moving.

Head up.
Stand tall, chin up.
Vision impaired 
Wipe tears away 
Sit by self
Put your hands together 
Say a prayer. 

Company not necessary 
Stop longing incessantly 
Don't be stupid girl !
Love does not exist.
Stay away if you must.
Heart buried.
Glacial crust.

Stop!
Just stop!
Please stop.
Can't afford to let yourself drop
No falling allowed.
Cessation failure 
Just too deep 
Im afraid of the dark...
Empty...
A fizzled out spark.

I'm done
Moving in opposite directions
Let it burn
Feelings not the same
No matter what
Don't let your head turn.
Close your eyes
Shut them out.
Invisible sadness.
Let it all burn
Forget fantasy flowing warmth
Only in your head.
Replaced ache.
Too late.
