I was born March 10, 1980 in Bainbridge, Ga. My mom and I moved to Florida when I was 3 years old. I began writing poetry as a hobby, but it stuck with me as I kept a journal of my deepest thoughts. My final year of high school, I showed some of my writing to my English teacher and she told me I have the potential to become a great writer. Years passed, but I never stopped writing. Now is the time to see if I have what it takes to be a successful writer.

The Passionate Girl To Her Stubborn Boyfriend…

You can get me all the nicest things you see, but the best things in life are free. You can show me the world, give me diamonds and pearls, but that doesn’t mean I’ll always be your girl.

Your love is all I need to get by. The poem you wrote me made me cry. The most valuable thing you can give me is love and understanding. When I’m mad, sad, or just feeling bad, you’re the best friend I never had. I just wish that you could understand, I’m your girl and you’re my man.

It’s the little things you do for me that shows you really care for me.

A lost love…

How can you get over a lost love when you thought you were meant to be?

Kissing, hugging, and sharing each other. A broken heart not yet healed. Not wanting anyone else, thinking he will come back, but realizing he isn’t. So you find someone new, but still having feelings for him.

He finally comes back and wants another chance. How can you resist when you never got over him? You don’t trust him and don’t want to get hurt again so you don’t show any feelings.

You think about the guy you’ve been talking to… picking the good and bad things and finally you have an answer. You still have doubts about him, but you can’t say no when it feels so right to say yes. So you give him another chance to prove you can trust and care about him.

Finding your true Romeo…

Will every woman find her true Romeo who will sweep her off her feet? Make love to her like she should be? Make a woman feel like nothing in her life can go wrong?

Maybe I’ve found my true Romeo. He makes me feel like nothing can go wrong when I’m with him, but what if an old Juliet comes along? Will I be cast away or will I be there with him to cast her away?

This time it’s different… he caresses my body and makes my soul feel free. He makes my heart beat a beautiful song. If I’m not in love now, we will both be in love after we let our hearts love and not be afraid they will get broken again…

Stepping out on faith…

How can I find that thing inside me that is ready to let go and love someone without trying to sabotage something that’s real?

To trust that his intentions are good? I want to let go and know my self-worth. I want someone that will have the love for me unconditionally as my father’s love, to do for me like I will do for him and not just financially, but also spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.

My whole thought process at the age of 14 was sex is love. I want a relationship that is not just based on sex. I think I’ve found that. He knocks me off my pedestal and shows me that sex is great, but is not the whole factor in a relationship. He makes me want to make this relationship work.

I ask myself, why didn’t it work out with my husband? He’s a good man, hard worker, good dad, and provider. Life goes on, wounds heal, and if you’re true to yourself, things will work out for the best.

Finding my way

Sitting at home alone on thanksgiving and stayed in bed until I felt like getting up… My family on their own agenda today and I’m missing my dad like crazy. Trying to push forward because that’s what he would want me to do.

How do you get over losing a man that means the world to you?
