Acknowledgements

There are many to whom I owe a great deal of gratitude for the persistent, insistent

push for me to share my poetry. However, there are particular, special people who

must take part of any celebration of success I may be blessed to receive.

To Kim Hosea, who reached into my past and evoked a dormant urge to again write and

express myself in poetic prose. She was the inspiration for the title of my other book of

poetry entitled A Friend Made Me Remember. Thank you for you unfl agging faith.

To Saadia Bennett, the heart and inspiration outside that helped unveil and reveal

more of my creative insides. Her gentle coaxing, and refusal to accept the mental blocks

helped me keep moving forward to complete this and other writing projects. Thank you

for being you.

To Cheryl Oubre, who kept saying I was talented, and people will want to read what

I had to write, my deepest gratitude to you for having faith.

To sister to my soul Arlett Wills, who looked into my soul one day at work and made

me answer why I wasn’t using the gift God gave me to write. I wasn’t sure but she was,

and I say thank you for the enthusiasm and encouragement.

To Marissa Monteilh, thank you for having enough faith in me to include some of my

poems in your book The Chocolate Ship. Thanks for being a loving friend.

To Debra Clayton, my east coast coach. Thanks for turning on the light when the

darkness of writers block made my creative light bulb fade to black. You were an

inspiration Lady Clay.

Loves Quote

Weep not for the dreamy memories of love’s past

But pray they will never be lost.

They bear the marks of delirious, happy irrationality, the scent of passion soaked flesh

The caress of one too many lovers . . . or just that one!

The caress of your soul revealed, the heart’s vulnerability to the ecstasy or agony of love

That is a good thing for it is better to have loved at least once, and lost at least once

Then maybe the next time you can distinguish the difference between hopeful

determined ignorance, prideful vanity, false hope or fruitless infatuation

You will understand that you can’t make love happen . . . it just does.

A Lover’s Hug

Can be more loving than lovemaking

More sensual than a southern kiss . . . there

A caress more intimate than coupling

Too warm, soften, and melt into each other

It completes the aftermath of passion satisfied

And re-ignite the fury of that same passion

Heightening the rage of lust that had just consumed both

That’s if there’s true love—in a lovers hug

A lover’s hug says I yield my heart to you

I am revealed, vulnerable

All of me is yours, all there is to have, all there is that I can give

If you need more I will search my depths for the last drops

Or find a way to make more . . . just for you

Our hearts once apart, now touching with each beat

A lover’s hug assures in our love is peace

The circle of your arms is my sanctuary

You are my eternity present—my future now

It washes away the pain of loves past . . . that fooled us

All that is my essence, is sustained by the you in me now

And all that is me is not my own—it is yours

I more than love you I need you to breathe

A lovers hug says we will protect the love given—the love shared

Says one to the other, we are safe in each other

A lover’s hug says you are wanted—you are needed

That’s if there is true love—in a lovers hug

Is there true love in yours???

Sensuality

Smoldering fire held in check only by the lack of a touch, a kiss, an embrace

A beast almost alive, born of humanity but not humane

It cares not for your sanity, cares not for the toll exacted from the body

It is single minded—purposed to serve one master . . . itself

A pure spirit of the raw emotions, unbridled, irrational, consuming

Unleashed flames of passion that sear the soul exposing want need . . . you

Vulnerable it makes—prey you become

Your wide receiver becomes a tight giver, while it takes and takes

Voracious appetites devour all of you—and me

It knows no boundaries save its own—which do not exist

Takes you beyond you and dares you to say no

It knows your weaknesses

Titillates them with warm sensations

Brings honey
