Married

Married with children
married without children
seeking someone single...

What sense does that make?
When one made the mistake
of a past they didn't want
of a past that was a fake.

Big cars, big houses
big bank accounts
married.

Long walks, long talks
long letters
married.

Photos tell it all
a past worth living
but run to the one
a future worth giving.
Married.

What does that really mean?
I'm yours, your mine
together we dine
bedtime at nine?
Married.

Free to do what
free to live what
where to go but...
we want this
we fight for this
we will kill someone because of it
Married.

Connected, reconnected
disrespected, fix it and forget it
show off a ring, pick a song to sing
argue, fuss, fight, release,
wash off, kiss goodbye
everyday try
Married.

Intertwined

Intertwined we were in each others words over the phone
captivated by memories, hoping for the future
raptured by love.

You spoke with a voice as smooth as silk.
You gave me a reason to open my arms again.

Intertwined we were when I opened the door
your eyes meeting mine, spirits meeting for
the first time.

Intertwined we were, hands embracing
hearts racing, anticipation for what we knew
would be the rest of our lives.

Intertwined we were, our lips grazing
holding on, relaxing, pulsating for
what would come later.

Interwined we were, bodies held close
a rise and fall of love's reaction
more we needed in our passion.

Intertwined we were in each other's company
never wanting the night to end, never wanting
a day to begin without us.

Intertwined, intertwined nothing lost
everything to gain, we were has become
we are...we are intertwined as a book
read line by line by line.

My Man

Woke my heart up one day
couldn't talk or walk
his hold had me.

Left me on the bed
lost in memories
had to face another day
I'll guess I'll be okay.

Thinking of you ...your soft, supple
lips and what was between your thighs
wanted to take another ride.
I almost called the boss and lied
sick suga
sick, sick off your love!

What did you steal from me?
See they say,
I'm not supposed to feel this way
take it slow, you know
but I can't...for you are my man and I love you so!

You have got a hold on me.
I need a drink to calm down.
I need to take a bath and relax.
I need you, my love
in the worse way!

Babies' eyes wondering why
moma acts different
a pep in her step
they reach for a kiss
no more amiss
cause somebody loves your moma!
My man loves me!

Love is blind, but I can see,
cause my man has found me.
Took hold of my heart, my mind.
We two were so desperate to intertwine
and hope again one day to dine
while looking for a sign
dropping a line
let's bring on God
to tell us a time.

Cause it's coming... oh its coming so fast!
All that heartache will soon be a thing of the past
This time, my love, we will make it last!
