The Revelation: A Journey To Self Discovery

When you have come to understand the true essence of your being
and you’re able to express your authentic self with no apologizes to anyone,
When you have learned to keep your heart open to the good no matter
what life throws at you or other people have done...

When you have learned to laugh out loud during a quiet moment
between you & Spirit 'cause you appreciate the unique way God
created you to be…
When you can humbly say, “Thank You God”
‘cause I sure do love me some me.

When you have clearly realized the gift your assets brings
to this earth…
When you no longer need outside validation to prove your
value or worth,
When you have learned to follow wisdom rather than
emotions and that internal is where your true
power resides…

When you can look in the mirror and see the reflection
of the Divine Creator starring back through the windows
of your own eyes,
That’s when you know you’ve come full circle with self.
Then smiling you can say to love and life…And Still… I Rise!!!

What I Know About Love

What I know about love now that I didn’t know before
Is when it comes around knockin’…you’d be wise to answer the door
‘Cause if ignored for too long…it just might keep moving on
Love don’t like being taken for granted....now…that I know for sure
And whatever is the source of your hurt & pain…Honey…love is the cure
And the best kind you can ever find is when it’s straight from the heart, unconditional & pure

Awww…now that kinda love is special and rare
So if you’re lucky enough for it to come ‘round…well…you just best beware
‘Cause it’ll pull you in like a moth to a flame
Have your heart so wide open you’ll forget your own name
Now you can try to run for a while or fight it if you choose
But that’s a fight you’re guaranteed to lose
‘Cause love truly does conquer all…so into its abyss you will surely fall
And when it’s all said and done you will surrender with humility in the end…
It will have its way…Yes…love will surely win

What a powerful thing love is…
No one I’ve ever known has been able to resist
Ooooh and when it comes after you all genuine and true…
It’s the most heavenly feeling of bliss
Now, one other thing I know about love is this…
You often find it in the most obscure and strangest place
But when it’s standing there starring you square in the face
You’d be wise to pursue it at a slow & steady pace
‘Cause it’s the tortoise NOT the hare
every time that wins the race

And no matter what you’ve been told…neither silver, bronze nor gold
Naw…not money or any of that stuff called bling…it’s love I’m tellin’ you
That’s the thing!
And if you know what I know
Should you ever get the chance to hold it
you’ll be a fool to let it go
Cause love can sometimes
be elusive and a bit hard to comprehend
And once gone may take a while
before it comes back around again
Yet when you need it most it always seems to show up
to be your very best kind of friend

Now one last piece of wisdom on love to you I’d like to lend
When it comes you can’t be too stubborn or rigid,
you gotta be flexible…willing to compromise, stretch and bend

So call on love then keep your heart open
And when it finally shows up…let it creep on in
I promise you won’t regret it…
After all, love is the best gift to us
God could ever be so gracious enough to send

The Essence of My Love

My Love is to genuine, abundant & divine
to have it thrown back in my face.
My Love is much to kind and gets even better with time
to give to someone undeserving in haste,
Then like a sweet fine wine watch this precious
love of mine carelessly spilled all over
the floor in waste.

My Love is much to pure to give to one
who’s not sure they can reciprocate the
level of positive energy & commitment I’m givin'.
My Love deserves to have peace, joy & fulfillment
added to not taken away from this journey
called life I’m livin’.

My Love is bestowed upon its recipient on purpose
not by accident or default…and like a prodigy child
who’s talent comes natural from God
not influenced by man or taught,
My love is extraordinary, infinite & eternal…
a blessing to its receiver that cannot be bought.

My Love is an invaluable gift…a top notch prize,
that begins and extends beyond the pleasures
found in the treasures between my voluptuously
caramel coated thighs.

My Love is spiritual, intellectual and emotionally profound
My Love is passionate and intense yet gentle, wise and sound
My Love is beautiful to the eyes of every beholder,
Yet can only be trusted securely in the appreciative hands
of the man that truly understands
a rare jewel has just been found.
