I’m hoping that my poetry from now on will be bright and uplifting instead of always being dark and painful. I’m hoping this is a new beginning. I deeply hope that while reading my work you encounter if anything at all a fraction of the enjoyment I had devising the sentences and binding the words for you all to see. Take care and god bless I write my poetry when i am in my deepest and darkest moments. It is a way for me to express and release the hurt, pain and anger i feel alot of the time. Up untill a few years ago i never knew i had such a wonderfull gift and since then it has been flowing rather freely. I hope that the people that read my work get as much comfort and understanding from it as i get releasing it. Sometimes i have blockages and don't write for a few days, weeks or months thats why you will not find me on here all that often. < I am a single mother of 2 beautiful girls who keep me busy alot of the time but in my spare time i like to sing, dance, play and try and let go of the chains that bind is in society. I wish we all could just break free and live happily instead of all this pain that this world holds for alot of us. At times i am a very confussed person but in all honesty i am more than able to understand anything that this life throws at me apart from myself. Alot of things i dont understand why i do them but yet i still do them. I know myself very well, it is something i have managed to master over the last couple of years. I know what i am all about and i have no problem in being me.(most of the time) It's just other people that seem to have the problem. SOMETIMES GOODBYES ARE FOREVER Comes The Dawn After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain, For plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong and you really do have worth. And you learn and you learn with every goodbye you learn... Still I Rise You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. Fairy Godmother - WordsWithin Brother - Paladin of Light - Sister - Poetic Aphrodite - Sister - Real Irish Rose - Daughter - xXsarastarXx -
