For to long our society…delights in violence…movies, war, various sports(not all), and violent video games etc……so is it a wonder that peoples minds are weakened by such activity to the extent that they are incapable of reasoning or should I say lost their ability to reason— but react off impulses…moved by the slightest offense and random emotion crossing their minds. My friends “Self-Control” is the fruit of the Holy Spirit which mean that the average person lacks it entirely…it is by faith in the Living God and in receiving the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ that we are saved…not of our own doing lest we should boast but a gift from God. Amen.

Love Me Love Me Not
Well this is one thing I said I would never do…get on a singles site. Needless to say, I did a few months ago and to my excitement my prospect pool multiplied. Great!!! right…well what I have found is the same need to sift through all the “No’s” and waiting patiently for the “YES”. I have met great people on the site and chatted with a few only to see things fizzle …apparently for some age really does not matter. I however have an age preference and will not budge. All the same I finally met a really cool guy and well the time investment begins even though we have not known each other long enough to say we are a “Couple” we are most def on a high caliber conversation level which is so refreshing to actually meet someone talking about something. We have not met ( we live in different states) at this point we have all green lights. Anything can happen at the “Friendship” stage. Since we have been talking, I took myself off the dating site for awhile but realized that it was wise not to alienate myself from other options. After my divorce, I have a weakness of insecurity and that is a problem that I am facing and will overcome, but has been the first red flag to my newest friendship. In conclusion, it is a great risk to put oneself out there weaknesses and strengths. Even though it would seem better to hide ones weaknesses until you are in a relationship and then let your true color show: I disagree. Although difficult, I believe it is best to be your true-self period and if the relationship is meant to be it will be.
Black Woman
Black Woman…
Stand and see the curves of the Sahara desert reflected back at you
The sparkle of the night stars in your eyes
Shine! Shine!
For your DNA is to be celebrated like the horizon in the morning sky
Shine! Shine!
For your genetic code unfolds like the beauty of a million sunsets illuminating the sky
Shine! Shine!
For thus you were created to reflect the glory of thine Maker who is Light

Beauty Is In The Eye..
I still love him
Yes…he did it…with or without regrets. I may never know. Took my heart right outta my chest like a beast devoured it until there was nothing left. Took my heart poured out the contents and threw it down shattering it into a thousand pieces. Hear the sound… He took my heart. His prayer was that I would never stop loving him. If only he knew–it was his love that grew cold. He took my heart. With his boyish grin. His musical laughter and of course his intelligence. He took my heart with a simple kind gesture moment to moment. He took my heart until I surrendered to the love growing inside of me. Yes, I will marry you rings in my ears. Forgiveness has a way of healing the most tragic of circumstances. He took my heart. Yet, I still love him enough to move on.

Default Part II
So It takes two to tango…well… One thing is for sure two broken hearts need not unite. For one cannot extend wholeness without first obtaining it. We give what we have…so why perpetuate brokenness. Be free. Enjoy the process of building true and lasting friendships without compromise. Shune the thought that marriage is preferred over fornication or that fornication is preferred over marriage. Ignorance is bliss only for a season. Once the realities of the unities of husband and wife set in— you find it is much more than just two bodies entwined.You see such companionship is built off good faith and trust…the yoking of two lives united as ONE. Not to be confused with the faulty deceptive counterfeit to love but infatuation. This cheap love leaves many wounded in life. Disoriented by the facts that you and I were just never to be. Intoxication of desperation the potion of friends with benefits. How absurd. Patiently wait–allow trust to be built and fortified by life experiences… which will lead you to the safe harbor of True Love.

Young Love
So sweet…. long talks long walks. Constant need to be entwined mentally emotionally and spiritually. Constantly touching holding kissing as if you where my oxygen. The warmth of you so close. I could feel your heart beat softly- so sweet. Never wanted to leave the security of those arms. Tightly holding me as you whispered your love songs of affirmation. Writing letters passing notes. Always connected without sex…that is. Only wrapped up in the perfume of you and me. Others envied us. We were Romeo and Juliet from two different worlds. As we grew. Reality set in. Our young love coming to an end.

Default
Sometimes we get caught slipp’in…I mean value myself–yes–indeed. I knew he wasn’t the one for me. Boredom desperation needed some affection. Loneliness overtook me like a tsunami-See. Divorce caught me off guard like a thief. Vulnerability led me down the road of seeking sympathy. Opening my soul. Story unfolds into the ears of a wolf in sheeps clothes. Waiting patiently to enter the sacred parts of me. Blinded by emotional quakes every few seconds. Aftershocks vibrate through my body. Soul feeling empty while evil grins at me-See. He never intended to marry me.

Breeders Part II
Daughter’s of the Most High created to reflect the glory of God- not of man. Tearless eyes Lost Innocence Squandered Inheritance. Diamonds in the rough. Please comprehend your value is far greater then any ruby. Yet marred by the deceptions of false immitations counterfeits. Void ambitions laced invitations reflections deceptions of one nite of bliss. Bed of Roses turned into thorns of ravished gardens. White washed temples empty for the gates were left open. Mind abducted by false ideas of what could be. Pillar of salt don’t look back. My sista we be Queens elaborately designed for a King chosen by YAH. The nite of consummation. Angelic Host sing. A Royal Marriage Bed with our Heavenly Fathers Blessing.
