So you think love is perfect
Something that would make us connect
Something so simply we can detect
Nothing that we would have to redirect
Something that we could not reject or
anything that we could deflect
Something that would have an affect

Our love
Something so perfect
That made us connect
That we both could detect
Life's on hold and everything on redirect
Something that we could not reject
or deflect
It had such an affect

At the end
Our love was perfect
Two hearts that was connected
Love that was still detected  
Never redirected
Never deflected

And it still had an affect

Perfect

One
Is not enough for me
Three is better to me
One is not enough for me
Three can do so much more for me
One in front of me
Two in the back of me
Three is for me
Believe me
They don't run from me
One is not enough for me
When they are done with me
I will find three more
That will knock on the door, come in
And have their way with me
One in front of me
Two in the back of me
The only way for me
When I am done
I throw them out
They will cry
Because they could not get enough of me
One is not enough for me
Three do it for me
My king size bed
Three fill it up for me
One in front of me
Two in the back of me
No jealousy
They share me
Three is the only way for me
One just can't do it for me
Three heads are better then one
That's not me
I just want one that would do it for me
One that would
Love just me
Who said three is better
What a good fantasy
Believe me
One is plenty for me
As long as
They are loving just me

Love Me ***

The earth cracks  
We will all fall

The skies open
We will see all

The seas
Will drown us all

Fire
Will burn us all

Anger
Will take over us all  

Famine
Will starve us all

Disease
Will finish us all  

This world
Will end for us all

Until then maybe we
should show love
for all.........

The city torn

The place they say is full of thugs
To me they are people that have had no hugs
And has been replaced with nothing but shrugs
And denied real love

In a country that was born on
Liberty and Justice for all
I have to wonder who is the all
Where is the liberty in it all  

In one city of many cities
Where your color
Is important to others
When we all should be standing as brothers

Where people have to act on their fears
Then die by the hand
Of the very people  
that should not be bringing on so many tears  

To think that life/a person
is something
that they cannot endure
Something so pure

So to the citizens of Baltimore
Fight your fight
Please do not give up don't let them  
see you in flight
Stand for what you know is right

Stay calm
Stay peaceful
And the out come will be right............

A Presences
of me
what I want to be
I could
I would
I should
I would've
I could've
I should've
only me
within my boundaries
with no contradictions
with no expectations
me
no need to be anything
but
I had rather have rags
then riches
I could've
Rather be the fire
then the wood
I would
Rather be the flower
then the seed
If I could
Rather be the truth
then the secret
I should've
Rather be me
I could
I would
I should
I could've
I would've
I should've
been me!

We
We are all the same in so many ways
Having the same game
Just trying to lay claim

All our backs up against the wall
Day to day trying not to fall
Keeping our heads up just to walk to tall

We are all the same
So many of us having the same name
Maybe looking for someone else to blame
And looking for just a little fame

We all bleed red
Right up until the time we are dead
Which is something we all dread
But it is ahead

We are all the same
Looking for a flame
Not wanting anything to disclaim
Sure not framed

We are just trying to live
Maybe wanting to give
Needing to forgive
Maybe sometimes wanting to relive

White, Black, Gay or Straight
When you see me
I will see you
We are all the same
That is something we all need to claim .........

What happened to
It's not in the cards
Something I am not waiting for
So far
What did I do
I have been to every place
Looking for
What is it waiting for
For me to go insane
While waiting for
Can't be over
When it's never been
For me so far
Hurting
I have decided it's never going to be for me
Not ugly
And have everything a man needs
If you know what I mean
It sure has been lean
Some say I just am in between
Maybe in a quarantine
Should I ask my Dean
What the word means
I would not say it's something that I deserve
Not to
Getting down
Will it come and change my mind
That it will never be mine
I have to believe
That someday
I will miss it
Then that will mean
I had it
And  it was mine..............
