A poem about lost love

To be without you

Is like being without my daytime

Everyday seems so gloomy

And I don’t know how I get through

I had others pursue me

Try to lure me

Attempt to woo me

Try their hardest to move me

Away from you

But I try

To get by

Just by the sound of your voice

I look for you in every face I see

But yet I go to bed alone wondering

If you are out there looking for me

Do you feel the void that I feel
Do you clutch your pillow at night

Craving for my embrace

Wanting to wake up to the morning light

Next to my sleeping face

Do you feel my arms wrap around you

As I say a silent prayer for your lonely heart to heal

As a young woman

I didn’t understand the ways of a widow

Like Betty or Coretta

But being without you

I feel in my heart

That I can’t do any better

Cause you are the one who has my heart

Maybe that’s why I feel such pain when we are apart

What goes around......

You ignored me

You always looked at me as no one

You saw her as a queen and me as a peasant

You wanted to serve her as she took out everything that you wanted to be

She ignored you

She always looked at you as no one

She saw you as a chore boy and I saw you as a soulmate

She wanted you to forget all about me and I saw the whole thing through

I was ignored

I always stood by throughout everything

I saw you as the one to steal my heart

I wanted you but did not see that and I was floored

So now that she has moved on and you are left alone

She has went to her castle and left you with no home

You are coming around stalking me like a hound

But never again because what goes around comes around

Question of the day....................

Hello readers! It's time once again for another entry........this time, I decided to have a series of questions that always come up in conversations. So here is the first part of Question of the day..........

Today's question: Is there such a thing as a "light relationship"?

In these times of questioning the real definition of monogamy, we have seen many new twist to the concept of "open relationships". For some, it gives us this loophole to have a "boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife" with the added bonus of being with other people. We call these people "screw crew" or "Fu-- Buddies" but do we really need them?

Whats the point of an open or light, as its being called now, relationships when all you really want is a different person to sleep with every night? Why put yourself through all the guilt and sneaking around when you can just be open wih no "attachments"?

In the day and age with AIDS and other STDs, along other dramas that can occur during these types of relationships, is it really worth it?

Everyone has there opinions on why but what if, just what if, you gain feelings for your partner but in their minds, there is no relationship?

Well, I'll be waiting for everyone's responses.

Loe ya lots,

This is for someone out there who maybe missing someone today.....This is a little something to help you express how you feel...........

As I walk down the road, I think of you

As I stare out the window, I wish for you to be next to me

As I sleep, I dream of you

As I feel the breeze of the wind, I hear your voice calling for me

As I cry, I feel you wiping away the tears

As I pray, I hope that God is protecting you until we meet again

For we are physically apart, but in my heart, my soul and in my spirit

I know you are there with me

I know you have to get on the grind, but there is a selfish part of me

That wants you to stay with me

You worked so hard to get here you are

You fought off the worse and rolled with the best

Some accepted you in there circles while others tried to shut you out

Still you rose to the occasion

Now it’s your day and all I can do is be there for you

I see you there proud of the result of your hustle

But I know that this is the end of one chapter and the beginning

I know that the days, the weeks and the months will pass

And the time, the space and the distance will come into play

One thing I know that will stay true is we will always have our good times

Cause where there's me, there's you; where there's you, there's me

Another small poem

when i first met you

we hit it off so fast

always together, talking about the past

now looking back, i didn't know then

that you would become

more than just my friend

now that you know

i never wanna let you go

eventhough you are far away

there is one place

you will always stay....

cause,

no matter where you go

no matter what you do (no matter baby)

one thing's for sure

that i'll always love you

no matter where you'll be

i will never leave (no baby)

cant you see

that we were meant to be

my first thought in the morning

my last in the evening

you are the reason baby

that i'm always dreamin

your voice lights my soul

your love makes me whole

now i know i'll never, never

let you go

cant let you go that easy

you gotta tell me how you feel

please let me know

if this love is real

for good and for bad

through the light and the dark

you have been the strength

in my heart

so baby please

tell if this love

is right

because i dont

want to leave without

you another night........

An open letter to a brokenheart

To whom it may concern,

I thought this letter would be of service to you. I could not take knowing that you are sitting there hurting the way you are. You tried so hard and so faithfully to let someone come in to your space and show you things you have been yearning for.

However, you feel torn. You hear Mariah sing we belong together and Marcos declare that if you were mine he would be your everything, but nothing heals your pain. You hear Luther plea for only one night cause that all you want. Nothing more, nothing less. Just one night to feel something you have not heard in a long time.

Cause like Phyliss sadly says, you can't stand living all alone. Your soul is tortured because the person you would give your heart to has stopped your dreams cold. The pleasure and pain that flows through you is nothing you have ever felt before.

So you give up. You crave for this person. You know was just let down easy. But in your heart, you keep a small hope because no one in the world makes you feel the way they do.

It is soul suicide. You keep killing your spirit. It is never going to be anything more than what is presented to your face. Your moonlight is now dim.

So the best thing to do is to wave your white flag. Leave everything that you thought could be a good thing and walk away and you got a long way to go and its such a lonely road.

Student Politics....Lost Cause?

In the 1960's and 1970's, students took to the streets and protested many subjects such as wars and civil rights. They were mostly peaceful except for a few situations such as the Kent State shootings in 1970. Students risked their lives to let thier voices be heard.

Now, that we are in war again, students are not taking to the streets. In fact, according to a recent poll, 55 percent of students say they would not protest this war because they felt that their voice would not be heard. Many think that protesting is a waste of time and unpatriotic. Others think the news covers everything enough and they can pass their opinions that way, but who is right? Is it wrong for students to pick up a sign and walk in front of campus and vopice thier opinions?

Most feel that if you want to do something about a certain sitiuation, that you should put up or shut up. If you have a problem with the war, you should either enlist or say nothing. If you see someone's Civil Rights are being violated, you should help stand up to the aggressor or turn your head. It is not illegal to take action were it is needed nor is it illegal for someone to take a stand against what is wrong.

So is student politics still alive or are we only going to see student protestors in our history books?

Give me heads up on what you think.
