African Love poem

Midnight Serenade

I HAVE SEARCHED AROUND THE WORLD
IN THE PRAIRIE AND THE POLE,
FOR SHE WHO WILL MAKE ME REBORN:
MAKE ME SMILE A MILE AND MAKE ME IMMORTAL-

MAKE MY HEART NEVER GO FONDER-
AND SING AS ANGELS DO.
SO IN MY DREAM, I WAS REDEEMED
AS I SAW YOUR HAPPY FACE.

I FROZE IN Y DREAM, DESPITE THE LIMP
JUST TI BREATH IN TOUR RICH FRAGRANCE.
THE WIND RANG AND HEAVEN SANG
AS NATURE REJOICED WITH ALL ITS VOICE-

HERE NOW I STAND AT YOUR WINDOW,
WISHING FOR YOUR HEART’S COMMAND:
CUZ FOR YOU I HAVE SEARCHED IN EVERY HEDGE:
FOR WITHOUT YOUR VOICE, MY LEGS WILL WOBBLE LIKE TOYS-

SWEET QUEEN,IN MY HEART SINGS MUSIC,
THE TYPE THAT MADE ROMEO RUINING MAD:
COME FORTH AND UTTER ONE WORD,”LOVE,”
AND I SHALL LIVE TO BE IMMORTAL LIKE HEAVEN’S DOVE

The Gift of Love

The Gift of Love

There was a time I lived in sorrow and dread,
My heart was so black and my soul was dead.
You came into my life with a heart full of love,
As though you were a sweet angel,
Sent down to me from heaven above.

The softness of your true love,
Laid all my turbulence to rest.
You helped bring out those qualities
Which I needed to be my best.

With all that you gave and inspired in me,
And such gentle sweetness and kindness you showed.
Forever brought me out of the bleak darkness,
Soon magically within me; a bright light glowed.

So much in life, had been invisible to me,
No one ever before you, was able to help me see:

The beauty within myself,
The beauty within others,
The beauty when the sun shines.
The beauty that's felt wherever I go.

The beauty in the clouds above,
The beauty in the night sky.
The beauty in all things big and small,
The beauty in the young and the old.

The beauty in all of nature that surrounds me,
The beauty that shall be in my life always.
The beauty that the Lord has given to me,
Thus becoming the person that God meant me to be.

This, the given gift of light and unconditional love,
That you have so strongly instilled within my mind's eye,
Is so special, and is truly my Dear, A treasured memory of love,
That inspired wings to fly.

Now that august is gone

Now that august is gone
And we all know that all augusts come and go
Is this woman? a woman of vertue,
Is this woman? a super woman
Is this woman? a woman of mission and vision
Is this woman? classy and stylish
Is this woman? preffesional or house wife
And the woman of action and motion

A woman of courage and resilence
A woman of liberation and liberty
A woman of passion and compassion
A woman of thoughts and opinions
A woman of empathy and sympathy
A woman of concerns and kindness
.
A woman of confrontation or insecurity
A woman of altracation or tranquility
A woman of ambition or armunition
A woman of redeemtion or detention
A woman of power or affection
Is this woman a woman

I am not questining you, woman!
I was questioning this woman

First love

First Love

I ne'er was struck before that hour 

With love so sudden and so sweet, 

Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower 

And stole my heart away complete. 

My face turned pale as deadly pale. 

My legs refused to walk away, 

And when she looked, what could I ail? 

My life and all seemed turned to clay.

And then my blood rushed to my face 

And took my eyesight quite away, 

The trees and bushes round the place 

Seemed midnight at noonday. 

I could not see a single thing, 

Words from my eyes did start -- 

They spoke as chords do from the string, 

And blood burnt round my heart.

Are flowers the winter's choice? 

Is love's bed always snow? 

She seemed to hear my silent voice, 

Not love's appeals to know. 

I never saw so sweet a face 

As that I stood before. 

My heart has left its dwelling-place 

And can return no more

The Children of Yesterday

The children of today
Are the children of yesterday,
And the children of yesterday
Will become the children of today.

What will we have to look forward to?
A cycle of duplication, a voice of
Emancipation, or will the cycle
Lead us back to yesterday and
One would ask, where have we been.

Beauty of the Day+Poem

Beauty

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
We can all see outer beauty in someone, younger or older.

All we need is our eyes.

It is said that love is blind, but it opens our eyes to see the inner beauty,
that comes to mind, it just takes a little time.
Inner beauty is harder to see, it needs more than just the eyes to view.
It requires caring, understanding and compassion, just to name a few.

All that is required is your heart.

We can all see and enjoy outer beauty, here and there, throughout our lives.
And most of us, if we try, can see the inner beauty in people, as time goes by.

Far and few between are those, that have both radiant outer beauty, and warm glowing inner beauty.
Lucky are we, that are fortunate enough to even cross their path, along life's long journey.

If seeing and feeling both with someone is always so easy to comprehend,
We are truly blessed when they turn out to be such a good friend.

My eyes saw your outer beauty when I met you.
My heart saw your inner beauty when I knew you.

Very lucky I have been, truly blessed I will always be.

Cutie of the Day+ Poem: Children are amazing

Children are amazing

Laughter echo through the skies,
- children are amazing
So young and so innocent
- children are amazing
Care free yet compassionate and kind
- children are amazing
From birth to walking and finally speaking ''Dada''
- children are amazing
Enthusiastic at day, pristine at night
- children are amazing
Naive and curious, motivated to learn
- children are amazing
Heaven sent, God's little miracles
- children are amazing
Working young, carrying sacks heavier than them
- children are amazing
Selfless, working for their families
- children are amazing
Naked in the streets, asking for money to eat
- children are amazing
Dreams to nightmares, hearts strengthened in mud
- children are amazing
Staying resilient through adversity and poverty,
That is truly AMAZING!

Beauty of the Day + Poem

My Beautiful Darling! !

You are beautiful
Not only because of the curve of your hips
Or the shape of your body
Not only because of the fullness of your lips
Or the curl of your eye lashes

You are beautiful because you want to be
You are beautiful because God made you that way
You are beautiful because in your eyes
There is no one more beautiful than you.

You are beautiful because you have a heart
And that is a beautiful thing
You are beautiful because you have a brain
And that is a beautiful thing
You are beautiful because you give advice
And that is a beautiful thing

You are beautiful because you want to be
You are beautiful because God made you that way
You are beautiful because in your eyes
There is no one more beautiful than you.

You are beautiful because you have confidence
You are beautiful because you have determination and wit
You are beautiful because you have goals and you plan to reach them
You are beautiful because you are always there to lend a helping hand

You are beautiful because you want to be
You are beautiful because God made you that way
You are beautiful because in your eyes
There is no one more beautiful than you..

Angels Of Love

Our children are the stars of today.
Our children are the joy of life. These
Children are the angels of our lives.
Children are a message of cheer and joy to
The world. Listen to your children, have
Faith and give them all the love they need.
Children are our little angels of love.
I am a little angel of love.

Beauty

Beauty is a pretty face
Beauty is a brand new vase
Beauty is lovely hair
Beauty is an oak wooden chair
Beauty is a graceful smile
Beauty is a great sense of style

Beauty is a fragrant smell
Beauty is a 5 star hotel
Beauty is a nice toned body
Beauty surely isn’t shoddy

Beauty is sleek smooth skin
True beauty is deep within
