  Passing Time

  After all this time… I didn’t know you still cared My eyes searched for yours But you were never there We would close the distance from time to time But it made no difference And you never called I kept your number, but the line always stalled In truth, I stopped looking for you I…

  Remember Me

  Underneath the velour The pearly, whites that shine like glittering snow Is a heart that desires a warmth That few people will ever come to know Is a small, distant flame of hope That flickers even when I feel low And though I know I may likely never see you again Still, in my soul……

  Thank God Christmas is Over

  The hanging mistletoe has dried out in mid-air The pine needles of trees That once had presents under them now decorate living rooms Without a cause or reason outside of holiday inertia The smell of cinnamon and nutmeg dissipate The candy canes that reek of peppermint But fail to satiate the taste-bubs Of a sista…

  Love & Respect

  Mine

  Sorry I’ve been gone for awhile  I’ve been working, praying, staying focused  Driving quickly to the next place  Getting over the traumas of yesterday  While utilizing every second that leads to a new tomorrow  Preparing for the unseen blessings  And challenges that set my heart ablaze  Building the bricks of contentment one row at a…
