IF TODAY IS ALL I'VE GOT...

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be,
If I didn't have you right by me,
Your love is the heart of my life,
And you will remain my soulmate while I'm alive,
Even transcedence into eternity,
And the termination of mortality,
Cannot tear us apart,
For your love will always be in my heart,
And if today is all I've got,
I'll spend it with you,
Lying next to you on my sick bed,
With your bosom next to my head,
As the love rhythm of your heart,
Puts me to eternal rest...

LOVE DON'T COST A THING II

They say love don't cost a thing,
They say it flows like a river,
They say it is like a random wind,
They say it's like a flying bird in an open sky,
So free and natural,
But baby when it comes to you,
I find the opposite to be true,
For your love cost me sleepless nights,
And your silence put me through painful plights,
I remember the days I sat by the phone wishing you'd call,
I remember the nights you were all I dreamt of,
I remember the nights I didn't sleep till I heard your voice,
But I don't complain, I think it was my choice,
For when I think of it I realize I didn't sacrifice to get your love,
I only sacrificed because I loved you,
For the love you gave me was free of all charges and totally unconditional,
It was true and real...

BLACK PRIDE; ETERNALLY BLACK III

Our strength is undebated,
Our courage undisputed,
Our brotherhood envied,
But yet our rivalry undenied,
So let us stand together,
No matter the weather,
In a life we have built ourselves,
In a culture we cultivated for ourselves,
'Cos a people divided against itself,
Cannot stand for itself,
So we do not become a laughing stock,
Or put our progress in a lock,
Let us unite and tighten the cords of togetherness,
As we jettison the rods of bitterness,
With which we strike each other,
And hurt one another,
For if we stand as brothers,
By the hatred of the world would we not be bothered,
'Cos in the midst of the hatred we shall illuminate true love,
'Cos together we cannot be scattered,
But apart we are easily shattered,
So let us not be drained,
Neither should we be waned,
'Cos when our stories are told, they shall be written in love and read in affection,
For we ride in a pride we call our own; The Black Pride,
And we live in a skin that is perpetually ours,
So we shall remain, Eternally Black!
