QUIET STORM


IT BEGAN ALL OF A SUDDEN

AS IF MY LIFE WAS UNDONE 

WITH THE UNDOING OF ONE BUTTON

THERE WASN’T A LOT OF NOISE

THINGS AROUND ME SEEMED THE SAME

BUT THERE WAS THIS FEELING ON THE INSIDE

ALL OF ME IT SEEMED TO DRAIN

EVERYONE AROUND ME NOTICED NOTHING

THEY EVEN SAID A SMILE I SEEMED TO ALWAYS HAVE

BUT DEEP INSIDE IT WAS AS IF DARK WAS MY PATH

ONE SITUATION TO THE NEXT

ONLY SEEMED TO COMPARE

TO THAT OF A SHORT BREATH

IT WAS AS IF I WAS MOVING WITH NO MOVEMENT

AND ONLY HALF OF ANSWERS I WOULD GET

AS IF HE WAS LEAVING ME HINTS

NEVER TOO CAUGHT UP IN THESE EMOTIONS

MY LIFE FLOWED LIKE SOUNDS OF THE OCEAN

IT WAS SCARY, YET SATISFYING

NEVER OVER WHELMING

LIKE A CLEAR SKY

EVERYTHING I SEEMED TO PASS BY

SIMPLY PUT 

RESTING IN HIS ARMS

FAVORED BY GRACE

THIS STORM WAS AT A STEADY PACE

NEVER DID I HAVE TIME TO SEE IT

NEVER ALLOWED TO PONDER ON EMOTIONS AND JUST SIT

I HAD BEEN CARRIED THROUGH SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TIMES

WITHOUT ONE SCRATCH

NO SCARS

NOW STANDING IN THE MIDST OF SUNSHINE

QUIET TIME


THINKING BECOMES EASY
TIME SEEM TO SLOW DOWN
BLOOD SEEMS TO FLOW
EVENLY FROM HEAD TO TOE
THIS IS MY QUIET TIME

SHUT OUT TO EVERYTHING ELSE
ONE FOCUS
ONE MIND
ONE BREATH
THIS IS MY QUIET TIME

NO SOUNDS
NO DISTRACTIONS
NO FEELINGS OF OBLIGATIONS
NO LIMITS
THIS IS MY QUIET TIME

NO INTERNET
NO MUSIC
NO KIDS
NO GROWN UPS ACTING AS KIDS
THIS IS MY QUIET TIME

DURING THIS TIME
THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR
ALL HIS THOUGHTS I ENDEVEAUR TO HEAR
AS HE TALKS
PURIFICATION COMES OVER MY SOUL
IT’S ONLY HIM AND I
AND THIS IS HIS TIME
THIS IS MY QUIET TIME

LIFE'S RENOVATION


FOR THE THOUGHTS OF LOVE FILL MY MIND

DROWNING MY SOUL AS I TRAVEL THROUGH TIME

BLOOD CLOTS CONSUME MY VEINS

ARTERIES BLOCKED BY THIS FEELING WE CALL PAIN

THE CAPACITY OF MY LUNGS HAVE BEEN SHRUNKEN LIKE A BUD

NO CIGARETTE SMOKE JUST THE ABSENCE OF LOVE

MY KIDNEYS SLOWLY FAILING, MY INTESTINE ARE SHIVERING UP

FROM THE STONES THAT WERE THROWN, HAVE NOW OVER FLOWED MY CUP

MY KNEES WEAKENED FROM CONSTANTLY GOING IN PRAYER


NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THAT LIFE WOULD BE THIS UNFAIR

BUT LIVE I MUST BEFORE I TOTALLY LOSE TOUCH

CRAWLING THROUGH LIFE WITH LESS, AND LESS TRUST

EYES BEING DECEIVED FROM CONSTANTLY LOSING MY FOCUS TO BREATH

LIPS CLOSED TIGHT THOUGH MY BODY NEEDS TO FEED

CONTINUALLY TO DYSFUNCTION, FOR MULTIPLE FALSE CONSUMPTIONS

NO LONGER DO I HAVE TIME AND NO LONGER WILL I MAKE ASSUMPTIONS

FOR THIS TIME THINGS WILL BE RIGHT AND THE RENOVATION OF MY LIFE WILL OVERRIDE THE DARKNESS INTO LIGHT

THE COLOR OF LOVE by T Ware Sr and Malaika Witherspoon


Paint yourself a picture
of soft glowing orange ambers
remaining from the fireplace,
imagine Blue as the color of my tears
With your strong hands I need you to wipe and smother my fears.
Imagine Hope for our future will come in a shade of yellow
It is one more step before you become my fellow
Can you imagine that?

Imagine Green as the signal for both of us to move forward
and allow us to release the tension and let all of our feelings
flow.

Imagine Orange as my temperature at the highest peak of
ecstasy.... Could you take me there?
This is the shade it should become even if you're just
lying next to me.

Imagine Pink as the color between the orange and red
Some may say its the danger zone which is something we both may dread
but it happens right?

Imagine Red as the ultimate color that represents my heart
Please handle it gently and don't break it apart.
When I see a rainbow, I see more than the average woman,
I see my colors of love...What do you see Mr. Poet?




The passion from the picture that sits in front of me
Glowing as the ambers shine through your eyes
Though tears of Blue slide down your cheek
It’s the warmth in your soul that embraces me
Is it possible that one plus one can become we?

I can imagine that happiness shining like the sun
But it’s the color Green that intrigues me
Most would say it represents money
But actually the growth between us
Is what this color represents to me

Ecstasy is my destiny in which you shall remain
Anything less would be unfit for you to call me your man
Complimenting your soul with my tongue
By the words that are spoken never leaving my actions undone
Do you think I could be the one?

Danger zone, naw, not in this you see
The passion of these colors is how we’ll be lead
Especially from the color of Red
As I take yours and give you mine
Everything about you I desire to find

You see God made a covenant with Noah
The representation of that is the Rainbow
So as unto him I make this covenant unto you
Only Love in your life I’ll sow
My determination
That always shining in your life will be a Rainbow
So you will always see the Color of Love…..
Could you get use to that?

PASSIONS OF THE MIND by Terry Ware Sr and Alfreda Ghee


IN A PLACE WHERE NO ONE CAN SEE
I IMAGINE THINGS THAT REALITY EVEN DREAMS
I PRETEND HOLDING YOU WITH MY HEART
EMBRACING EACH PART OF YOU WITH A SIMPLE THOUGHT
SAYING I LOVE YOU WITH JUST ONE GLANCE OF THE EYE
FEELING YOU WITH MY SOUL
KNOWING WITH EVERY TOUCH
I’LL SIMPLY LOOSE CONTROL
CONTROLLING MY EMOTIONS WITH EVERY OUNCE OF BLOOD
WOULD BE TO ALLOW THAT OF YOUR VERY ESSENCE
TO ESCAPE THROUGH MY VEINS
IN WHICH
WOULD FIND ITS WAY OUTSIDE OF ME
AND FOR THAT
I’M JUST NOT READY

SO I’LL KEEP THIS LOVE FOR YOU
IN A PLACE WHERE ITS HELD SAFE
A PLACE NO HARM WILL BE ATTACHED
A PLACE WHERE IT WILL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED
YET REMAIN ALIVE AND FREE
YOU SEE
IF IT EVER ESCAPED
I’M AFRAID
BACK TO ME
IT WILL NEVER FIND ITS WAY
SO THE PASSIONS I FEEL FOR YOU
WILL REMAIN EMBEDDED
PRAYING FOR THE DAY YOUR LOVE
WILL BE THE EXCHANGE I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

IN MY DREAMS AND REALITY IMAGINE
YOU HERE HOLDING ME CLOSE
LONGING TO MAKE LOVE TO MY DEEPEST PARTS
YEARNING TO UNFOLD THE MYSTERIES THAT MY HEART HOLD
CARESSING EACH PART OF YOUR MIND
KNOWING WITH EVERY SMILE AND EVERY GLANCE
THAT THIS LOVE THE I KEEP WITHIN
IS READY TO EXPLODE
KNOWING WITH EVERY WORD YOU SPEAK AND I RECEIVE
MY BLOOD BOILS AND WANTS TO RUN OVER
IF I LET HOW MUCH LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU OUT
I WILL GO INSANE FOR MY SOUL
CAN'T WITH STAND THE PAIN OF BEING BROKEN
REACHING FOR YOU IS LIKE REACHING FOR A STAR
THAT OUTSHINES THE BRIGHTEST LIGHTS
MY EVERY BEING NEEDS TO BE CLOSE TO YOU
IN MY EYES YOU CAN MAKE MY NATURE RISE
SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY
AND IN SO MANY WAYS I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME
BUT TODAY
IT'S NOT THE TIME
MY MIND COULD LET GO OF THESE EMOTIONS THAT ARE SO STRONG

SOON IT WILL COME A DAY THAT YOU WILL KNOW
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO
MY SPIRIT WILL COME CALLING BUT IT WONT
RUSH YOUR WORDS NOR MINE TO COME FORTH
MY SOUL WILL ABSORB THIS TRUTHS THAT I HOLD WITHIN
BECAUSE IF MY DESIRES OF LOVING YOU
WERE TO BE KNOWN
I WOULD RUN
FOR FEAR IS UNKNOWN
I'M SCARED
SO FOR NOW I WILL LET THEM STAY INSIDE
BECAUSE THE PASSION THAT I HOLD FOR
WILL REMAIN LOCKED WITH A KEY
THAT ONLY YOU CAN RELEASE
IN TIME
PRAYING FOR THE MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH AND YEAR
THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO LET OUR LOVE FLOW
INTO EACH OTHER.....
