**Distance**

Navigating thoughts accompanied by confusion

regulated by restrictions of the loneliness that's being inflicted

A heart filled with emtions

trapped by an ego to big to let them flow

engulfed with a body of love

but it's all held back

because of the close proximity in which we lack

another day closer to the sparkle in your eye but

yet another day that we're not here or we're not there (together)

the day still awaits that we'll be together as one

seeing the world from each others eyes

awaken to a new day with a simple surprise (your smile)

no matter how long it takes

no matter the distance

let's make a promise now

to let no one or nothing come between us

My Friend...

Took time out of my day to think of you
What our future holds, I have not a clue
Our destinys are foretold, but we still search for the truth
Our hopes & dreams come together
and form pages in the book called "new"
This chapter starts where the last one ends
if nothing else I'll call you my friend..

Respect in a RELATIONSHIP!!

It saddens me how these new age relationships have become a fad for our youth and some of us older people that have bought into the madness. Relationships nowadays are missing some key pieces but one in particular RESPECT. How dare you justify your relationship by saying "oh, we have an open relationship"? Now, if that works for you then so be it but that's not a damn relationship that's a fucking compromise. All you said to the person you're with is "I'm sorry baby, but you're not enough for me so I'm gonna get it and still have you to come home to because you're my convenience". Stop the madness people!!! There is a big difference between a RELATIONSHIP and a CONVENIENCE.. Which one do you have???

Respect yourself and you will respect others.. Love yourself and you will love others!! Why compromise love? Why compromise yourself? Self-respect = Self love

Poem for Haiti

I felt like writing this morning so I did something real simple...

In my deepest thought

And as far as I can see

I couldn’t imagine your pain and misery

The lives that has been lost and those still not found

No words can express the turmoil that’s unwound

Through the rubble, bricks, and falling infrastructure

There is one thing still true in this time of destruction

Your hearts are brave and your love is unconditional

You fight to survive and you will survive the fight

With the blessings of God and help from a few close friends

The cloud of darkness will soon descend

Take care of yourselves , your family, and friends too

And never forget

God continues to watch over you
