Negro Speaks of Rivers

Nov18

One of my favorite poets is Langston Hughes.  Since I don’t have a whole lot to say tonight, I figured I share one with you guys.  Enjoy.

Negro Speaks of Rivers
I’ve known rivers:
I’ve known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln
went down to New Orleans, and I’ve seen its muddy
bosom turn all golden in the sunset

I’ve known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

Smooches…

Can You?

Nov18

Can you love me
The way I need to be loved
From my head to my toes
Unconditionally

With mental kisses of knowledge
Here and there
Embrace me with your strength
Of your heart and the kindness of your hands

Tickle my thoughts with chocolate tasting
Forget-me-nots
Talk to me with a smile and a sensual stare

Bathe me with songs from way back
Among candles and incense

I say again,
Can you love me the way I need to be loved

Smooches…

When A Girl…

Nov17

When a GIRL is quiet …
millions of things are running in her mind.

When a GIRL is not arguing …
she is thinking deeply.

When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions …
she is wondering how long you will be around.

When a GIRL answers ‘ I’m fine ‘ after a few seconds …
she is not at all fine.

When a GIRL stares at you she is wondering why you are lying.

When a GIRL lays on your chest ..
she is wishing for you to be hers forever.

When a GIRL wants to see you everyday…
she wants to be pampered.

When a GIRL says ‘ I love you ‘ ..
she means it.

When a GIRL says ‘ I miss you ‘ ….
no one in this world can miss you more than that.

Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person ….

Find a guy…

who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
who calls you back when you hang up on him.
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who …..
kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
Who turns to his friends and says, ‘ That’s her!! ‘

WHY??

Nov17

Why would someone who’s usually so smart
Let someone take over and control her heart

Why would she allow the pain he inflicts
Upon her,which causes such stressful conflicts

Why would she keep being mistreated and abused
When inside she feels dirty and used

Why would she continue to be so forgiven
When he’s altered the way she goes on living

Why would the repeat same stupid mistakes
When with every action, her pride he takes

Why does she seem to take it in stride
but continue to struggle with turmoil inside

Why won’t she get the help she needs
And put an end to his obsessive greed

the answer lies within the guilt in her heart
The guilt that’s slowly tearing her apart

she knows that often she has done wrong
She should have said “No” rather than going along

She feels she has no right to complain
So, she’ll continue to live with the grief and pain.

I Am

Nov16

Often they have said,
I don’t know who I am
I am woman
I am pleasure,
I am pain
I am woman

I am serenity,
I am strain
I am woman

I am agression,
I am submission
I am woman
I am anger,
I am love
I know who I am

I am sorry after a fight,
I am darkness in the light
I am liquid,
I am mass
I am bosom,
I am ass
I am satisfaction,
I am frustration
I am mommy,
I am lover
I am alone and I am grown

I am yours,
I am mine
I am distant passing time
I am success,
I am fame
I am sincere, not your game
I am your future unfold, a story untold.

Beauty Unleashed….

Nov15

Every woman yearns to be beautiful both inside and out and yet we can’t seem to find the magic formula. Despite the unparalleled opportunities for freedom, happiness and fulfillment available to women, many continue to stay mired in depression, anger and hopelessness. To protect our heart, we have learned to lock away our natural God-given beauty by pretending to be the person the world would approve of. God created us in His image, and the essence of God is beauty; therefore, you and I are beautiful. It is already there; we just need to allow the touch of God to reveal it to us and unleash it.

The Strength of A Man

Nov15

The strength of a man isn’t in the deep tone of his voice.
It’s in the gentle words he whispers.

The strength of a man isn’t how many buddies he has.
It’s how good of buddies he is with his children.

The strength of a man isn’t in how respected he is at work.
It’s in how respected he is at home.

The strength of a man isn’t in how hard he hits.
It’s in how tender he touches.

The strength in a man isn’t in the hair on his chest.
It’s in his Heart . . . that lies within his chest.

The strength of a man isn’t in the weight he can lift.
It’s in the burdens he can carry.

Quoted By Sermon Fodder

Introduction

Nov15

Getting to know me is a treat in and of itself, but to actually know me, can best be classified as the best orgasmic experience, one has ever had. I am Shawana (he calls me Beauty) and I am truly a Phenomenal Woman, if I must say so myself, and I do. I am indeed a woman of mystery, yet an open book; only if you dare read the pages. I am simple, yet complex. it doesn’t take much to intrigue me, but at the same time, I bore easily. I love reading, it’s what I do to relax and rid my system of all the world’s negativity.
