Love
This was to be a collaboration but opened a mic with this piece last night
LOVE
(me)
FROM A GUYS POINT OF VIEW
FINDING MYSELF
WAS THE FIRST PART OF
KNOWING WHAT LOVE WAS
I CAME TO UNDERSTAND
MY EMOTIONAL SIDE
MY WEAKNESS ,
MY STRENGTH
WHERE MY MIND
AND HEART WERE
WHERE THE FEELINGS
WERE BURIED FOR SO LONG
DIFFERENT SHADES
FROM LOVE OF MOTHER
LOVE OF SON
LOVE OF LIFE
LOVE OF FAMILY
BUT MOST OF ALL
MY NIECES
AND GOD DAUGHTERS
(you)
LOVE IS SHARING SECRETS
TRUSTING IN ONE PERSON
KNOWING THEY
KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU
THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELF
TRUSTING IN
THEIR WORDS TO CALM
THINGS
WHEN YOU ARE FEELING LOW
AND ALLOWING THEM
TO BRING WHO YOU ARE
TO LIGHT
THEIR ALLOWING YOU
TO JUST BE YOURSELF
GOOD OR BAD
THEY BELIEVE IN YOU
(me)
LOVE IS A BEGINING
NEVER ENDING
PIECE OF WHO WE ARE
ABLE TO SHARE
WHAT WE KNOW
WITH THOSE WE LOVE
ABLE TO BREAK
BARRIERS
TEAR DOWN WALLS
AND ESCAPE THE FEAR
(you)
WE OPEN OURSELVES
TO EMOTION
ALLOW OUR HEARTS
TO FEEL
SHINE LIGHT
UPON OUR CHILDREN
ALLOW THEM
TO TEACH US
WHAT LOVE REALLY IS
UNCONDITIONAL
WITH LIGHT IN OUR HEART
AND SMILES ON OUR FACES
REFLECTIONS OF
WHO WE WERE
(me)
YES LOVE HAS ITS
MANY SHADES
SOME SAD
SOME HAPPY
AND WE WILL ALL
FIND OURSELVES
A PART OF THEM
AT ANY GIVEN TIME
WE NEVER KNOW
WHEN IT WILL STRIKE
BUT IT WILL
IN ITS OWN
SEGMENT OF TIME
(you)
I NEVER FOUND MYSELF
LOOKING FOR LOVE
BUT WHEN IT DID COME
I ACCEPTED IT
OPEN ARMS
BUT TO DIFFERENCES
OF OPINION
FOUND MYSELF
CAUGHT IN THE MOMENT
IN THE MOMENT
OF FAST PASSION
BUT I WONT LOOK BACK
BECAUSE I KNOW
ONE DAY YES ONE DAY
I WILL AGAIN BE LOVED
(me)
LOVED YOU WILL BE
FOR SO LONG AS
YOU JUST BE YOU
AND ACCEPT
THAT YOU ARE LOVED
