BEFORE THE MARRIAGE

You met each other at the right time,
Your love was at its prime,
You were two love birds: beyond death, so inseparable,
Together you were enviable, very desirable,
You would always tell her she is beautiful,
She would always tell you you are wonderful,
But that was before the marriage,

Now fast-forward, two years later, after the marriage,
You have suddenly become too busy for each other, after the marriage,
There seems to be too much friction in your union,
Now you are confused, unhappy, after your once blissful union,
But the reason is not far fetched, just look within,
Yeah, the answer to your problems, lies within,
All you need do is rewind to your lives before the marriage...

TO BE CONTINUED.

HOW COULD YOU? II

Remember when you said you wanted a man,
Who would love you for you and be your one and only?
All you wanted was true love, a man who cherishes you,
You were becoming impatient, you vied for attention,
You searched for true love, for honest passion,
Then he came along, a gift from above,
He was your Mr. Right, your true love,
You cherished him and loved him for as long as you could remember,
But then you met that guy, yes that guy with the killer looks,
And now that once cherished man of yours has become a forgotten story,
How could you?

Now you want a man with all the money,
Not just a man who would call you honey,
Now you want a man who would make you glow,
A man who would let you know, by a flamboyant show,
How much he loves you, you want a man who would,
Not just love you with everything, but who would give you everything,
So you treat your husband like a piece of trash, you don't appreciate him anymore,
Because he is not as wealthy like that guy, that guy with the cash and flash,
Really, how could you?

Now you parade yourself about, you a married woman,
In another man's car, sleep in his bed, and spend the night at his house,
Not thinking of your own husband, but yet when you come home, he still loves you,
Ah! How could you be so heartless? How could you even live with yourself?
Would you like to be treated like wise? Think about it!

HOW COULD YOU?

You know what it was like when you chased her up and down the block,
You were ready to sail the seven seas just to be with her,
You were prepared to do anything just to be by her side,
She was the reason behind your sleepless nights,
The constant thought in your head upon your bed,
You would be with none other but her,
Then she finally said yes, and now what?
You treat her like a piece of trash,
You stab in her in the back, betray her trust, and made her a laughing stock,
How could you?

That girl loved you with all she's got, she gave you all she's got,
Her body, her soul, her spirit, her mind, everything,
She was prepared to die for you, she loved you with the very fiber of her being,
She was the first and only one to answer when you called,
When everyone else abandoned you, she stood by you,
But you cheat on her with everything in skirts, so unfaithful,
You don't even care about her anymore, now you're too busy to spend time with her,
She wants your attention, she craves your love, she desires your care;  just to tell her she is beautiful,
She wishes you would kiss her again, hold her close and look into her eyes with love,
But no! You prefer to mess around with another, treat her like a last resort-your fall back person,
How could you?

You don't love her anymore,
You don't even like her as before,
She disgusts you, she irritates you,
The mere sight of her upsets you,
But why?
Remember that this girl was the reason you refused to eat,
Because she wouldn't accept your first proposal,
She was the reason you worked odd shifts,
Just so you can take care of her,
But now all that has be thrown to the winds,
You have suddenly picked interest in another,
And I ask, how could you?
Think about it, would you like to be treated likewise?

THIS THING CALLED LOVE

Sometimes I'm amazed by why people fall in love,
I'm amazed at why people stick together like hands to a glove,
Of the millions of women on the face of the earth,
A man finds just one woman who becomes his breath,
Of the many men on the planet, 
A woman finds a man, and that's it,
She loves him with all she's got,
Honestly, I'm constantly amazed by this thing called love,

She's a nagging woman, a talkative, very demanding,
But he still loves her,
Her meals are not the best, she doesn't do much cooking,
But he still loves her,
He's very unorganized, he litters his socks and clothes,
But she still loves him,
He pretends to be listening when she talks, 
But she knows he's not listening,
She has said it time and time again, yet he won't place the toilet seat down,
Yet she still loves him,
Hmmm...This thing called love sure amazes me.

This is why I believe it is hard to really be in love with two people,
Because the nature of true love is very selfish,
When it comes to Eros love, it is very selfish,
You may like many women, but you can only love one,
You may be attracted to many men, but you can only love one,
This is why I also believe love is divine,
Because the whole institution of marriage is divine,
Love, love, love, oh love, how you amaze me.

But before I wrap this up, let me introduce you to a man,
Who really showed true love, I mean His love was sacrificial,
He was prepared to die for the ones He loved, now that's love,
Even when the ones He died for have refused to acknowledge Him,
Let alone accept Him, He still loves them,
Are you in search of true love?
Then invite JESUS into your life,
His love is Agape, it is sacrificial,
It is enduring, endless and ever faithful.

A PART OF ME

I see her, I adore her, I think I like her;
I'm not sure if it is love I feel for her,
And I'm not sure if she likes me back,
I send endearing words, but she never sends any back,
But I know this is not lust, 
Besides, I'm saved not lost,
So, I tell her I want to be friends,
But then I feel a part of me feels otherwise,
A part of me wants to be just friends,
But then a part of me feels otherwise,

Sometimes I wonder what her world feels like,
What kind of person she really is, what she is like,
I'm not sure if what I feel is love, but I know it's certainly likeness,
So I pray to God, and ask Him for direction, so I don't end up in sadness,
For I know that He holds the keys to my life, so He knows what's best for me,
Marriage is an institution ordained by God, so He knows if she is right for me,
So while I sometimes think of her, I know not to rush things,
Hence, I decide I would be just friends with her, not rushing things,
Taking it slowly, one step at a time,
But somehow I feel this feeling is reaching it's prime,
So I try to stifle it, I feel I need to be focused on my future,
Instead of focusing on this girl's posture, in my mental picture,
But after all is said and done, I know that I certainly feel something within,
But while a part of me feels mere likeness,
Another part of me feels love and togetherness,
So, what to do, what to do?
I just sit back and let God have his way,
Let Him lead me; I'll do what He says, just His way,

For I've come to realize that if it is meant to be, it will be,
She would come around, if she is the right one for  me,
Desperation leads to worry, anxiety and even frustration,
So may be you feel the same way right now about love,
About someone you think is sent you from above,
But you're not sure what do to; well, I say let God have His way,
That's if you believe in God, which you should, there's no other way,
Love takes its time, it is never hasty,
But love is also never late, it is not lazy,
So wait for the right time, for if that love is meant to be, it will be. Peace.
