    Buy Her Flowers

    Roses are blue and violets are red
    When I think of you everything is backwards in my head
    Like what I usually would never do I’m now thinking about times two
    Every reservation turns into an invitation, so I made plans including dinner for two
    Her favorite flower is a rose, and what would a rose be by any other name
    If I pick a rose does it take my last name
    Roses are pink and Lilys are Lilac
    Lavender conversations tastes different when you know she has your back
    A rose tattooed on my back is dead until your finger tips hug my thorns
    A relationship embraces the pain of every fallen petal
    A rose is just a star but with you holding it I can see the galaxy
    Dreams aren’t that far away with you in the passenger seat
    She drives me crazy and I don’t mind
    What’s happiness without adversity
    Is a rose still as beautiful without the barb wire
    Roses are white and sunflowers are teal
    In a crowded room, far away, but I can still feel
    You
    U without the y. o. because something is different
    U and I could be different, and the world needs a change
    p.s. I just want to buy you flowers…

    I Planted Something New

    It’s the breath I need but can’t reach
    Arms extended as far as they can reach
    But the superhero is late this time and can’t save me
    Plan ahead they say so you can make time to smell the flower things
    I’ve never been much of a gardener
    However, today I’m planting mustard seeds
    So, my confidence can age as grand as the canyon
    I can finally picture heaven in the palm of my hands with this Canon
    Camera, bombing any part of hell left in my yesterday that tries to burn my film
    Hope used to be a dream then I made my dreams come true
    Hope used to slip through my fingers but now I wear it as a cape
    Flying over depression, fear, and regret
    Debts I no longer wish to add to
    Stop subtracting from you, thinking to myself
    Hope is priceless, you don’t have to play tag with money
    That’s why the tag looks out of place in a garden
    The highest value holders are free
    Plant faith and wake up in a field of dreams
    Plant a rose and fall in love
    Plant patience and endurance will run past any future
    Harmony outlasts pains earthquake
    Honor overcomes poisoned endings
    And it gives me hope that tomorrow isn’t so bad after all
    I don’t always feel super, but I will be my own hero
    p.s. don’t forget your cape…

    My Son Remember This

    Coloring when you’re younger is letting each shade have it’s alone time
    They say elders deserve it
    But I never had the opportunity to see your hair age to grey
    You were a silver fox
    Illusive with your presence, no matter how much of a present it would be for me
    Doesn’t anyone care about how I feel
    I didn’t ask to be here, yet I am, and everything is falling apart… And I have to pick up the pieces and make something beautiful
    Whoever said horror was beautiful never had a cut deeper than the surface
    I can’t escape this horror story, and adults keep preaching about the honor they don’t even hold on to
    Your moral compass clearly was never fixed so stop trying to fix me
    I’ll do it myself just like everything else
    I don’t care if I take the long way
    What’s a little more pain with this depression
    This is what I imagined your thoughts said after you heard me communicate: mom and dad are getting a divorce
    I’m sorry to have multiplied the trend of men walking out of your life
    Son, I’m sorry and I hope you don’t keep your hands around the neck of a grudge
    My son I love you, I’m sorry your picture of love now has a crack in it,
    My everything, if you hate me and ignore everything else, please remember this: respect is earned not given
    So, learn to give it even when it’s not deserved
    Because pain can learn to heal when patience reflects
    Respect can’t be bought so don’t spend your money on brands expecting it to elevate your title
    Your name holds a weight more valuable than gold, not even the world can hold
    You, let nothing hold you back
    Dad will always have your back
    Respect those that hurt you, more than the love they didn’t give
    When you treat respect like the kindness everyone should receive you won’t have to ask for it
    Then you can paint your own future
    Coloring when you’re older is letting the paint sit at the grown folks table and mix conversation
    p.s. no matter what our colors will always match…

  • Capable Woman

    Dear me,
    Yes you,
    You are a capable woman. Strong, intelligent, and resilient is your name. You put fires out that are aimlessly burning, and in the same breath have the ability to ignite the most powerful flames.
    You are a capable woman. A dog mom, a cheerful wife, and a spiritual pillar to many. You work hard in everything you do even when it’s not ideal.
    You are a capable woman. Allow yourself the time you need – to heal, to laugh, to cry, and to sigh. Life will always be busy, but you deserve some rest. Remember, you are capable but you are also human.

    Oh, capable woman. Please dive into yourself. Make your 30s your best. Let go of the void and shake off the excess stress. Who are we mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually? Let’s find that out. Can we buy out the time to do what we love? Can we live by our rules?

    My dear capable woman. This time is yours to spend. Follow your heart and find peace within. Build up yourself the way you desire to be. I believe you can do it. I believe in me.

    Love always,

    An aspiring capable woman

  • New Year Resolutions Everyone Should Share

    Have you ever read the same book but a different story, there’s a saying for that phenomenon
    I just finished my Saturday morning coffee and chocolate chip muffin complimented by my current read
    It’s that time of the year again Deja Vu
    So, I pull out my pen and begin to write about how to become a better version of you
    I didn’t fully comprehend what I thought knew
    This year I’m going to do something new
    Looking in the mirror but only seeing half of me
    I lost myself living as person three, instead of the main character
    It’s time to take back all of my identity
    Completing every goal this year but first let’s focus on the top three

    Number 1. I’ll start by losing weight
    Burning the off calories procrastination added
    It’s easier to run to your goals when you sculpt the weight around your waist
    The time is now, why wait
    You don’t want to be late to your dreams
    So, go ahead and book that first trip you’ve been planning for the last 2 years

    Number 2. I want to travel more
    Travel to the past so I can better see my future
    A frequent flyer because I was too focused on yesterday
    Now these miles are just lessons learned
    A frequent flyer because growth is my meditation
    If you ever want to get somewhere fast it’s better to slow down
    Speeding will only get you a $300 ticket you don’t have the money for

    Number 3. I want to be better financially
    Health is wealth or so they say and last year I was broke
    Broken heart, shattered mind, but you can still see yourself in a cracked mirror if you choose to
    Today I choose you, reciting my daily affirmations
    Self-care is one of the best ways to say I love you
    Learn to say I do to the future you
    Investing in yourself pays more than your 9-5
    You will be tired
    But that just makes it easier to sleep with your day dreams

    Ignore the world the same way they hit snooze
    Wake up early, aim high, then reach higher
    My goals are only one page turn away
    So, stop judging my cover before you read my book
    If you simply read the preface, you might begin to understand the trails I’ve faced
    This book is about the evolution of me
    You don’t have to read it, but you will respect my art the same way I cover myself with peace
    p.s. these are my goals for leaving 2023…

  • Someone You've Never Met

    Have you ever had the pleasure of falling in love with someone you’ve never met?

    It’s almost as if you have an immediate connection,
    Your souls are fused together.
    The pull of uncertain, certainty.
    You feel everything all at once.
    Your soul is content and full.
    You’ve become a glutton for the love
    It feels so good!
    Theres butterflies signifying this spectacular moment in the timeline.

    Have you ever had the pleasure of a heartbreak over someone you’ve never met?

    They say the worst withdrawal is of a person.
    I must say, “I agree.”
    It’s almost as if you have lost a real piece of your soul
    You have no autonomy over your
    heart.
    You crave, cry, and hate all within a
    minute.
    You mourn someone you’ve never even
    met.

    Have you ever had the pleasure of healing after a heartbreak over someone you’ve you’ve never met?

    It’s almost as if you are whole again.
    You carefully put each piece of your
    shattered heart together
    Hand gluing, welding, stitching,
    and crafting it into your newest
    artistry.
    Looking at your newest master piece
    You’re feel of all of the happy, joyful
    memories you chose to keep
    You’re reminded of the pain and
    mourning that led to
    You, whole,new & ready to love.

  • Liquid Magic or Liquid Poison

    There is this liquid that many consider magic.
    Society says it’s a great social catalyst.
    Drink some of it and you may become a whole different person.
    Be careful – too much may leave you with only a headache and nausea to remember your night.
    Growing up this liquid was the answer to all of my mothers worries.
    Its an antidepressant, if you will.
    As I entered my teens ,
    It became the medicine, taking away all my pain.
    I even learned the secret formula,
    Making it through the night with minimal side effects.
    As I grew older this liquid became my BEST friend!
    There for me when I was lonely
    Giving me courage by masking my socially awkwardness.
    The gifts of blackouts and uncertain regrets.
    Eventually, my best friend grew to become my enemy.
    Courage became sadness
    Blackouts became spotty nights of horror.
    It allowed strangers to carry me to their cars
    Driving me to their homes.
    Eyes flooded my face with painful tears.
    My brain and heart screaming for love and healing!
    This liquid was no longer magic,
    My kryptonite love affair!
    There is no real secret formula to avoiding the side effects.
    It is my depressant.
    I destroys me from the inside!
    This liquid is not special,
    It is not a cure to your pains.
    It will tear you apart,
    Taking you family as collateral damage.
    This liquid is a poison,
    -It is Alcohol!

  • React to Darkness

    The world runs around and bucks you
    Of your trajectory with minutiea that drive you
    Up a wall, and down into darkness which blinds
    Your senses that either gives adrenaline or freezes
    You into a statue that’s blind, deaf, and dumb.

    Your vision turns into bright starts that short-
    Circuit your mind with blinding light whose sport
    Is to suppress your logic, embracing emotions
    That turn you deaf to all evidence against your passions.
    Those then steal your ability to speak your mind.

    As the world moves round and round, like a merry
    Go round, so do you try to stave off the shocks that ferry
    You into dismay as experiences are disillusioningly
    Petrifying, with their obstacles and demands
    On your taking a stand outside your comfort zones.

    Stay the course.
    Stand tall.
    Savor each experience.
    Strengthen your faith with failure or success.
    Sever negative relationships,

    And let your self-confidence emerge
    A snow white pigeon of peace and verve of life.

  • My Love

    My heart is broke I’m begining to sulk
    My tears are for fears that you might not be back do you have to go away for this long? I don’t think Im strong for lack of a better word, maybe I’m being absurd
    First time I saw you I knew you were the one.
    Starring in to each others eyes our lips touched and that was it, I was hit with cupid’s arrow.
    Now years later a lie was created
    doubted thoughts loom and you assume.
    My heart drops what did I do I never knew you felt like this I must’ve missed.
    I want to give you a kiss and be in bliss again with you, this what I really want to do
    I miss you

    The government abroad, We didn't start the fire

    This is but a thought the truth of what our nation is coming to
    Fiddle De De fiddle de dumb biden’s got his thumb up his bum, he gave Ukraine another lump sum.
    Migrants galore, Chicago ignore. They say the American dream is a lore. It rocks me to my bitter core.
    The opponent stays quiet, so there won’t be a riot.
    My words are honest, but I can’t promise they won’t cause strife. Think of your life.
    I’m not political, I’m not semitic
    but I said it…
    Eat the rich, but not the poor
    too many citizens lying on the floor
    My lord…
    They say COVID is coming back and it’s going to attack. Relax it’s just tact
    The election is coming The press is running and they are cunning.
    My thoughts are clear a mere sense of clarity
    A rarity indeed I’m not trying to mislead It’s just a seed.

  • Grateful for Motherhood

    Dear Motherhood,

    You were a journey I yearned to embark on for many of my childhood years. A journey I knew I had to have however, knew nothing about. Today, I have been a mother for 15 years, nearly half my life. Your are everything I dreamed of and nothing I could have ever imagined. I cry uncontrollably, I have to re-parent myself, I’ve seen so many different versions of me within you.
    I’m grateful for you the most out all of my life experiences. I’ve had some of my highest highs and my lowest lows within you. You have pushed me to grow and heal. The healing journey I have experienced was because of you. You taught me that I do not have to be what the world said I am. You’ve given me so many gifts. I’ve watched myself and my children grow into beautiful human beings.
    I’ve learned kindness from you. I’ve learned how to love me. I’ve learned to treasure the moments while being excited for the future. You’ve taught the control freak within me that she can not control anything but herself. I can not express the magnitude of gratefulness I carry within me for you. Every minute that passes I look forward to the next.
    I am excited to see what the future of motherhood hold and I’m ready for everything it has to throw at me; the good, the bad, the ugly and the pretty. So I say to you, Motherhood, thank you for everything you have and continue to gift me and all the wisdom you will embark on me.

    Forever a Mother of Motherhood,

  • My Last 5 Minutes

    I sit up,
    Look up,
    Firing my appreciation
    To God, in whose contemplation,
    Veneration, I’m engrossed
    In my thanks to all that
    I’ve got, that’s on the spot:
    Family to love and cherish,
    Kin to pray and think of me as I perish,
    Friends who’ll miss my presence,
    As our discussions cover matters that hence
    Ruminate over social changes
    Trending through social media’s
    Imposing pressure over all genders
    And age groups who surrenders
    Their freedom to bondage
    Of our sovereignty over our charge:
    Our immortal soul, whose barred
    From its morality, replaced
    By being led to sins that destroy
    Your connection to the All Mighty. A ploy,
    To reduce believers that rebel against sins of immorality.

    Falling down a hole less traveled

    Surviving addiction it’s an affliction calling out for an intervention
    Spend my time wondering why it took a hold of me. Eyes are wide Breath is high
    Time is a wasting well I’m chasing my dragon

    I can’t even, I’m not steady

    Little boy

    Woke up in a daze not feeling like I wanted to go to work. I attempted to call out. Talked to my boss it was a definite NO, I need you come in… Uhg so I did. feeling bad about leaving my boss hangin I strolled in to work every thing was fine just as it should be. I set up and took my first client.second, third and so on and so forth, I noticed a boy and his mother walk in and sit down. The mother was called by the stylist the sat up front probably about 11 or 12 I would say… All of the sudden out of the corner of my eye I see him grabbing his throat and trying to cough. Without even a thought or a memory of how I got from.here to there it was like an outer body experience watching from above myself in motion attending and defending this little boys will to live. It was crazy, each thrust I felt his body get tighter it seemed like forever I was giving the heimlich maneuver. I’ll tell ya… it wasn’t “I hope” this thing. Comes out it was “going to” come out…. And it did the boy with a blue hue had a natural color to him again.
    thank you to who ever what ever that was that came over me the boy started to cough just as the EMTs arrived I stepped a way. They were all clapping, my boss was crying and shaking as was I. My boss pulled me out back to talk she was like how, why if you took the day off…. I just glad you were here today.
    The mother of the boy however was beyond her self gave me a hug asked how could she ever repay me for saving the boy I said to her… Him being
    alive and breathing is payment enough.
    This is my memorable moment….

        • Hey! We’ve done a few shows on it. Once you write the transcript, you have to format it (you can hire someone on Upwork for whatever price range you want). You also need an isbn which you can buy on https://www.myidentifiers.com/. After that you need a cover. Amazon can create one with AI for free, or you can make one on canva with the dimensions…read more

    If you try sometimes you get what you need

    Chasing, pacing, racing
    Only in my dreams
    I want so bad to see them come true
    But I haven’t come to terms with seeing it thru my desires and wants take second stage
    To the battle that is everyday
    Someday I hope I can make them happen
    Glory day, I hope and pray for my time to come
    Though It lasts just a second
    And then it ends…
    it’s already written

    Dampen your eyes

    Steady as I go
    Inspiration pouring out my soul
    Mind and body collide
    Heart and soul coincide
    Fact and fiction divide
    Making you feel alive
    Sometimes I get real
    I kneel and pray to a god not yet saved
    Steal and pay for the next day
    You’ll find a way
    Just stay, don’t run
    It could way a ton
    My thoughts exactly
    Don’t beg just ask me
    I’ll stay till the light burns out
    Be quiet and listen to your first decision
    Be quiet and run for the day is done
    Another quest tomorrow will avenge sorrow
