Me- a poem

Me

I know I have made some mistakes.

I know I have problems to deal with.

Dealing withthe pressures of society.

And the way my mind is going.

It may sem that I'm going crazy.

That I'm losing my head.

I'm hearing noise,

From both sides.

Trying to set me straight.

But they are not helping me.

all I me is people giving me opinions.

Making my condition worse.

But i am starting to see…

The Gift

The gift

I give you this gift,

to show how much you mean to me.

It's not something I could wrap.

Or put in a box.

But there's a catch to this gift.

You must handle it with care.

Treasure it like it was your own.

and remeber who gave it to you.

Cause it cost me a lot,

and I can't get a refund back from it.

Form Study - a new poem

Taken from INSPIRED my first book of poetry.

"FORM STUDY"

My forefinger traces

The outline of your face

Your eyes, nose, ears

Stopping at your mouth

I line the line of your lips

Graciously you part them

Lettting me in

Past your teeth to your tongue

Soft and wet

You envelop my digit

Warm and cosy

You twirl and suck

Moulding around me

You release me.... POP!

Goodbye 2007!! Welcome 2008!!

I am looking very forward to next year. I want to stay positive so I won't even go into details about 2007. I will just say glad to see it gone because of all the challenges I've had to face and so have many other people that I know. I am looking for bigger and better days to come in our lives. I am looking to see my dreams manifest into realities. I can't wait to see my writing career take off. I've come a long way baby. Though I am rather grateful for the many blessings that God has…
