Poet Introduction
I am not new to poetry but I think of myself as a new poet. With one book under my belt released in 2013 entitled Emotions of The Heart I am continuously trying to improve my writing. Critiques and advice are welcomed.

Fulfillment Everlasting
I long for that joy that's impossible to put into words
A joy that would brighten my soul like sunshine on a hot summer day bringing life to me like a flower in a desert land
I long for that joy that's impossible to put into words
A joy that lights up my life like the fourth of July constantly bursting with excitement
A joy that loves me back unconditionally produce from a love that only God could give me
Simply put, I want a family

This Large Frame
Some who see this large frame say what a shame!
Others who see this same large frame say what a magnificent thing!
Many who are small minded and pea brained, never have a nice thing to say about this large frame!
However, the one who created thee and knows all about me, looks and sees such a beautiful frame and says,
“What a glorious thing I made in this large frame!”

My Rain
He is like the rain….
Watering the seed of love between
the two of you
He is like the rain…
Showering you with affection that
makes you glow like the sun
He is like the rain….
His passion drenched your dry and thirsty
heart bringing it back to life
He is like the rain….
His scent is clean and fresh,
leaving your senses reeling
He is like the rain….
Saturating your mind
with only thoughts of him
He is MY rain
Watering the seed of love between
the two of you
He is like the rain…
Showering you with affection that
makes you glow like the sun
He is like the rain….
His passion drenched your dry and thirsty
heart bringing it back to life
He is like the rain….
His scent is clean and fresh,
leaving your senses reeling
He is like the rain….
Saturating your mind
with only thoughts of him
He is MY rain

The Ultimate Lover
Intricately woven together like threads of time
I am wrapped up
tied up
tangled up
I see no other
Like hot boiling water purifies and cleanses
Your love has purged me
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet.
Swimming deeper, longer, and stronger like an athlete’s arms cutting through water
Your love embraces me
Takes me over
Brings me to a place of completion
You fill my cup until it overflows with nothing but you as my source and guide.
You fill spaces in me I didn't know existed
Those which did
You mend
Made...

Maya
I didn't know you and wished I’d met you
I imagine being in the very presence of greatness an
Absorbing all the knowledge imparted to me
like a sponge soaks up water
You sparked a fire in me of creativity that began
to smolder like a damp camp fire
and eventually turned into a blazing
forest fire all because the words you wrote
reminded me of the mighty woman that
I am and what I can do
The very essence of who you are always came through
Your poems like a steady soaking rain
Water the mind and soul like a dry
and thirsty land
You...

A Certain Set of Skills
I saw a movie once and heard the best line ever. The character stated that he wasn't rich, but he had a certain set of skills that would enable him to find his daughter and kill whoever had taken her.
I am here to tell you as CHRISTIANS we have a certain set of skills that enables us to defeat the enemy when he attacks. Because our Father is rich we not only have skills but we have the financial means to attack the enemy because our father owns everything in the land!!
When the enemy places a mountain in front of us, God has given us the ability to use the authority of our...
