When it seems like the struggles of everyday life,
Are beginning to get in the way of your love,
When things like who is making the most money;
Who left the toilet seat up, who didn't pick up the kids and the likes,
Start getting in the way of your relationship with the ones you love,
When it seems like the wife and family which once gave you joy,
Has now become the source of your worry and sadness,
When the seed of discord begins to crop up, and the winds of insignificant quarrels,
Begin to threaten the unity of your family,
Fighting for love becomes the only way to go,
Sometimes the love of your life may become the pain in your flesh,
But please remember that she is still bone of your bones and flesh of your flesh,
Sometimes the man who made your heart skip, may start making it bleed,
But always remember that for better for worse, was the pledge you made at the altar,
Nobody said marriage and family life was going to be a bed of roses or walk in the park,
But when infidelity, disrespect, secrecy, dishonesty and all other agents of marital destruction,
Begin to threaten your marriage, fighting for love may the only way to go,
And sometimes you may need to fight for this love by fighting with yourself and your own demons;
You might need to fight that nasty habit which always makes her sad,
You might need to stop the attitude which always makes him feel belittled and disrespected,
Whatever it takes, it is worth it; if peace and harmony is what you desire in your home,
If you truly love that man, if you truly care about that woman,
You might wanna consider fighting for her love, and waging war for his love.
'Cause after all is said and done, love, true love and the ones we love, is all we've got. Peace.

LOVED ANYWAY
Sometimes I reflect on my past,
Where the lord has brought me from,
His plentiful mercies in my life, His everlasting love,
His grace and hands upon my life,
Then I realize that I'm undeserving of His love and mercy,
But I also realize that regardless of my many inadequacies,
I was loved anyway,
And that message of love is what I bring your way today,
Don't know what somebody has told you,
About how you wouldn't amount to anything,
About how you are nothing but a piece of trash,
Don't know what your past is and how many times,
You have sinned against the almighty,
Don't know why you keep living in self-pity,
Thinking you're not worth anything,
But regardless of your situation, no matter how bad it is,
I've come to announce to you sir, madam, young man, young woman,
That you are loved anyway,
May be the reverse is the case for you,
May be some guy has told you young girl,
That you're beautiful and that he loves you,
He has also bought you some nice things,
To prove his love for you or the lack of it,
And right now you feel like you owe him your body,
As a way of saying, "thank you,"
Well, first of all, love that is built on physical pleasure is no true love,
Stop trying to find your worth in a man who intends to use and abuse you,
Return to the one who loves you anyway,
The one whose arms are ever open to receive you,
Regardless of how many times you have despised Him,
The one who gave it all up for you on that old rugged cross,
The one who loved you enough to offer you an inheritance in His father's kingdom,
The one who loved you in spite of you,
Jesus is calling you today,
Please don't refuse His precious, true, real and divine love.

IT'S EASY TO LOVE YOU
Because you are the reason I wake-up each morning,
With a smile on my face,
The comfort I feel in my seasons of hurt,
Because the mere thought of coming home to you each day,
Fills my heart with immense joy,
And my heart skips a beat by the mere sight of you,
It's easy to love you,
Because your beauty excites me,
Your fidelity humbles me,
And you are bone of bones, flesh of my flesh,
The one to whom my soul is tightly knit,
In an unbreakable cord of love,
Because I see myself in your eyes:
You are me and I'm you,
It's easy to love you,
Because we disagree to agree,
Our fights make us stronger,
And our challenges make our love deeper,
Baby, because I know that you are the only one for me,
My true love, my angel, my saving grace, my friend and faithful companion on this journey of life,
Because nothing can ever come between us,
And loving you is something I live for,
Living for you is something I love,
And because the words, "I love you," flow from within me,
As a true expression of my soul,
It's just easy to love you.

IF WORDS WERE ENOUGH
If words were enough,
I'll call you precious,
If words were enough,
I'll call you ravishing,
Baby, if words were enough to describe,
The feeling I have when we are together,
I'll say enchanted,
If words were enough to fully explain,
What you mean to me,
I'll say you are my jewel,
Indeed if words were enough to adequately express,
The sensation I have when you touch me,
I'll say titillated,
But because mere words are not enough to describe,
The beauty you possess, the care you have shown me,
Because mere dictionary lexicons are inadequate to contain,
The love you have shown me, the personality you possess,
Because I have searched for the right words to express my true inner feelings to you,
But couldn't find any, all I can say is you are the breath with which I live,
Precious and Special sound close but are really not sufficient for who you truly are,
For you are more that just precious and special to me, it is you that I live for,
Yes, you mean this much to me and though I have said it many times,
Let me say it again, I Love You. I really do.

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME
When I said "I do" before the priest and crowd at our wedding, I meant it,
When I said you are the only one for me, I was serious about it,
And now after years of being together, I still want you to know that,
If I had the power to change anything in you, I wouldn't change anything,
'Cause you are perfect for me just the way you are,
So baby, it doesn't bother me when people say, "she's not even that pretty",
Because as far as I am concerned you are the prettiest woman on earth,
The shape of your body, the glow of your eyes, the curve of your eyebrows,
The sparkle in your smiles, and everything else is just the way I like it,
So please stop trying to change yourself thinking you would one day,
Become outdated for me, for not even time can kill the beauty you possess,
And the love we have is bound to last forever,
So, let people talk all they want, it doesn't bother me,
They said your past is not decent, you are not wife material, but it doesn't bother me,
'Cause I couldn't find any other woman who captured my heart the way you did,
Honey, your meals are sometimes too salty or not salty at all, but it doesn't bother me,
It's the love with which you cook them that matters to me,
You sometimes snore in your sleep, but it still doesn't bother me,
'Cause there seems to be a certain love rhythm in the way you snore,
A rhythm that I alone can hear, and understand,
Seriously baby, I don't care what the world thinks,
As long as we have each other, our love shall surpass the borders of mortality,
So stop trying to change yourself to suit the world's definition of a perfect wife,
For I love you just the way you are; if you were more perfect, you won't be the one for me,
So, just know that with all the imperfections that people point out in you,
It just doesn't bother me, for you are just right for me. I love you.

TAKE A CHANCE
Rich, famous, good-looking, handsome and gentlemanly,
Are all you desire in the man of your dreams,
And honestly, I can say I am three of those things,
At least from my point of view; but rich and famous,
Is certainly not among the three,
But three out of five is not good enough for you,
So baby here I am, standing right before you,
And all I'm asking is that though I may not be the man of your dreams,
Your knight in shining armor, or your hero;
Please take a chance on love with me,
And let's see where the winds of affection,
And the unpredictable hands of passion would lead us,
For I've tried to, but yet it seems difficult to take my mind of you,
And even though you are totally out of my league,
Even though I feel you would never settle for someone like me,
There's still a feeling within me, it's more of a mystery- the mystery of love,
Something deep within me which tells me so softly but yet firmly,
That we are meant to be; and though I may not be so sure of this feeling,
All I'm asking is that you please take a chance on love with me,
And let's see where the sails of love,
And the vessels of likeness would lead us.
For I'm not asking for the whole of your heart,
Neither do I seek the entirety of your love,
But just a glimpse, perhaps just a tip of your love's iceberg,
For I know that if you take a chance on love with me,
Togetherness, forever, a union whose bond transcends eternity,
Could be a possibility for us.
So please just take a chance on love with me, my dear,
And who knows, rich and famous may be added to the three.

IF I COULD...
If I could sail the seven seas for you,
Travel around the world just to be with you,
If I could die and be born again just to prove my love for you,
Risk my life for you, sacrifice my life just so you can live,
If I could buy you the whole of earth's treasure,
And secure for you the entirety of the world's wealth,
If I could live in discomfort just so your life can be more comfortable,
Walk bare-footed just so you can have the nicest shoes the world can offer,
If I could go hungry to give you a satisfying meal,
Go through countless sleepless nights, to put you to a good night rest,
If I could spend the last dollar I have on you, just to make you happy,
Risk all of my life's savings for the purchase of your priceless love,
If I could give up all the things that matter to me just to be with you,
Just to hear you say, "I love you,"
Just to make you mine,
Baby indeed if I could do all of these for you, I would,
And the truth is I could, I should, and I would,
'Cause you are worth more than all these things to me.
I love you.

THE MYSTERY OF LOVE II
It's that which sparks up an attraction for no explicable reason,
A bond which is not built on superficiality, artificiality or on that which is ephemeral; it's eternal,
It's the reason you are attracted to that man or that woman, but can't really tell why,
Of all the many people on earth, he or she just captures your heart,
Even in the midst of his imperfections,
In the midst of her many flaws, you still love her,
There are truly no ways to tell when he is Mr. Right,
There are really no ways to determine when she is your soul mate,
But when you meet the right one, you just know,
By a certain connection, a certain bond, which may be conscious or unconscious,
A feeling deep-rooted within the soul, something you cannot lay hold on,
But you just feel it from somewhere within your being,
That's the mystery of love,
I could go on and on about this mystery called love,
But in order for us to fully grasp this mystery of love,
We must return to the one who truly modeled what true love should be-JESUS CHRIST.
His love was unconditional, sacrificial, eternal, always ready, willing, accepting, nonjudgmental;
All He says is, "come as you are and I will accept you, then change you and make you of a sterling worth."
I pray you first find true love in Christ and then in the right man or woman meant just for you.
Have a blessed day.

THE MYSTERY OF LOVE
It's a mystery known only to those who have truly felt it,
A mystery uncovered by them who are united by the heart,
It's a mystery born within the soul,
You don't see it, you can't always tell what it is,
But when you feel it, you know it,
You don't have to think about unraveling it,
'Cause it's not meant to be unraveled, it's meant to be accepted and enjoyed,
In the beauty of its mystery;
A mystery I wish I can adequately explain in words,
A mystery which cannot be uncovered by any scientific or any known human means,
A mystery which is divine, soulful, spiritual, and in no way carnal,
It's the mystery of love...

A FOOL FOR LOVE
You were worth it,
The stress, the sleepless nights,
The extra hours working, just to make you happy,
I didn't mind spending my last dollar on you,
Even when some of my friends called me a fool,
I didn't mind, 'cause for you, I didn't mind being a fool,
Yes, a fool, a fool for love, for the love of my life,
I'll sail the seven seas with you by my side,
I'll risk my life for you, and give up my dreams for your dreams,
Baby life with you is all I need, all I want, and all I'll ever want,
Truly speaking honey, I'll take a grenade for you, and I promise, I won't throw it back,
'Cause I don't mind being a fool, yes a fool for love, for the love of my life,
What more do I need in a woman, when I have you in my life?
What else do I desire in a wife, when I'm married to you?
Baby, I'm prepared to stay hungry, so you can have a good meal,
I'm ready to stay up all night, just to put you to a good night sleep,
You're my life, my breathe, my love, my joy, my bride, my angel, my saving grace,
And I'm prepared to be a fool for you, the love of my life. I love you.

NOT MEANT TO BE
Once I saw this pretty girl,
Moved by her beauty I approached her; but I meant well,
I had seen equally beautiful maidens, my eyes had seen equally beautiful damsels,
But there was something about her beauty that attracted me to this very damsel,
The mere sight of her pulled several strings and hit different notes in my heart,
I desired her not for her body, but for her heart,
I wished we could be together forever,
I wished we could be joined in holy matrimony forever,
But after she clearly made it know that she desired another,
I realized that some things are not just meant to be,
Perhaps, she wasn't the right one for me,
But she was all I desired in a woman, all I wanted in a wife,
She seemed like the perfect fit for my life,
I could see my reflection in her personality,
I could view my nature within her entity,
Together I wished we could sail the world, and travel across the seven seas,
But after she made it clear that some ships shouldn't sail on the same seas,
I realized that indeed, some birds of the same feather can never flock together,
I realized it was not just meant to be, not now, not ever,
So I let go off this angel, waiting for the almighty to send another meant just for me.

LIFE IN COLLEGE-EXCERPT FROM LOVE BIRDS: BEYOND DEATH
One month later, Henry and other members of the Neurosurgery department were scheduled for a school trip to Tampa, Florida. Prior to this period, Naomi’s room had become Carlton’s haunt, and after series of turn-downs, he persisted. That evening, the weather at the Johns Hopkins University campus was unusually cold, with gusty winds swaying the daisies and roses violently. The pine tree swayed as though it will break, and Naomi’s room was pretty cold with the first winter breezes. Normally, Henry came by at such cold evenings to cuddle her up and talk sweetly into her ears till she was dizzy. But now he was away and she
missed him. Naomi lay cold snuggled up in a blanket, when she heard a knock at the door. She reluctantly stood up and shuffled to the door to open it. It was Carlton who was standing there with some daisies in his hands. She was about slamming the door in his face, when he gently pushed the
“Please Naomi, be hospitable for once. Besides, it’s cold out here,” he said shivering.
“Sorry, but I can’t remember asking you to come to my room, did I? Anyway, come in and have a seat if you like,” she said with a frown, walking gracefully to her green colored couch, which blended with the brilliant white walls of her room.
“Actually, I had come by to give you these,” he said stretching his hands, giving her the flowers.
“Carlton, it’s not my birthday, neither is it Valentine’s Day, so what’s up with the flowers? Anyway, just drop them on the table,” she said looking in a different direction as he dropped the daisies on the round glass table supported on four gold colored legs.
“I also thought that since Henry is not around and you’ll be feeling lonely, I could read this poem I just wrote to you,” Carlton said holding out a sheet of paper in his hands.
“Carlton I didn’t ask for company, but I can see how desperate you are, so go ahead,” Naomi said. Carlton started reading.
The sun rises at the sight of you;
the radiance of your face drowns the glow of the moon,
Even the birds sing of your tenderness and
beauty,
And the smell of the winds remind me of the
softness and fragrance of your skin,
I can’t help but kiss those tender lips of yours,
And feel the sensual warmth of your skin.
Carlton read with so much love, or perhaps lust and passion in his eyes. At this point Naomi was melting under the influence of those romantic words and she didn’t mind that Carlton was now rolling his tongue all over hers and moving his hands up her white silk sleeping gown. The Escape perfume from Calvin Klein that Naomi was covered in seemed to worsen the situation, as Carlton sniffed and kissed her neck, simultaneously. Carlton had had his way; Naomi seemed very emotional and susceptible to romantic words. She couldn’t resist Carlton’s charm, his command of the English language, and romantic or may be subtle and mischievous nature. The two were now cuddled up against each other, making out, when suddenly and unexpectedly
the door opened.
“Jesus Christ, Naomi!” the voice exclaimed. It was Henry.
“Hen—Hen-Henry, it’s not what you think. We were just . . .”
“Just doing what? It’s not what I think uh?” Henry retorted.
“I catch you making out with this; this . . . and you tell me it’s not what I think? You know what? I c-c-can’t even . . .I’m out of here!” He dashed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Just then Carlton ran out of the room with his daisies. It turned out he needed that as part of the bait to allure his prey. Naomi was now left alone weeping and sobbing, probably feeling miserable and undeserving of Henry. Although Henry was disciplined and caring, he couldn’t stand the chance of losing his girlfriend to someone
else, or having her cheat on him. May be it’s because he’s been there for her through the good times, the bad times, and the worst times. He was there when she first had a heart attack, when she was in coma for three months, and he was by her when she carried a ventilator around. So, Henry couldn’t understand why Naomi would cheat on him. May be Henry needed to know Naomi was very emotional, and was thus easily turned on by romantic words. And may be Naomi needed to know Henry is not just a socialite but also
as jealous as she was. Just may be they needed to know each other better.

Love Quote of the Day: "At last, when love is both true and eternal"
-Lysious
LOVE BIRDS: BEYOND DEATH: EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER NINE-LIFE IN COLLEGE
It was a warm summer afternoon, and the cool breezes rushed through the Pine trees arranged in rows along the sidewalk, producing a whistling sound, as they swayed from right to left. Squirrels kept jumping from tree to tree eating fruits from tree branches strong enough to carry their medium sized bodies. Henry and Naomi were standing in the shade of one of those pine trees, when Carlton walked up in a swagger.
“What’s up Naomi? May I have a word with you?” he said ignoring Henry’s presence.
“Carlton haven’t you got any manners. Can’t you see I’m with a friend?” Naomi asked squinting as though the breezes sipped through her eyes.
“Your friend-boy uh? I see. What’s up . . . what’s his name again?” he said as if trying to recall Henry’s name.
“Oh never mind. Who cares about his name?” Carlton said scornfully, while Henry maintained his calm.
“Do you mind if I have a minute, or two, or three, or the whole day with your friend—girl?” he asked laughing as he patted Henry’s back, but Henry seemed indifferent.
“That’s it Carlton!You have gone too far. Please leave now! I am not speaking with you!” Naomi said.
“No—no Naomi it’s okay. I’m cool with it,” Henry said attempting to leave.
“You can go ahead and have a chat. I’ll be in my room when you are done. See you around buddy,” Henry said patting Carlton’s back as he left. Carlton quickly dusted off his neatly ironed check shirt as though Henry’s hand left dirt on it.
“I’m not your buddy man,” he muttered.
“You see Naomi; shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and . . .” Carlton was rudely interrupted by Naomi as he tried quoting one of Shakespeare’s sonnets.
“See Carlton just spare me those poetic jargon of yours. I haven’t got all day please. Just say what you want to say and leave!’’
“Naomi what I mean is I love you so much and would want you to be my . . .” Carlton was abruptly interrupted again.
“Hello, have I been speaking to the winds this whole time? Henry is my boy friend!” she said in monosyllables, stretching the friend like the tail of the little squirrel that just ran past, and then walked away.
“Well, fine!Go!But just so you know, Carlton Geoffrey will always get what Carlton Geoffrey wants,” he said laughing mischievously as he bounced down the sidewalk to join a group of boys in front of the arts department.

BEFORE THE MARRIAGE II
Think about how you went on dates,
Made plans for each other, never missed any dates,
Think about how you opened the car for her,
And waited for her to come in, before closing the door after her,
You treated her like a queen, like her royal highness,
You treated him like your king, like his royal highness,
And this was before the marriage,
Now it seems like your marriage is becoming boring,
You don't need a divorce or time apart, you just need a little spicing, something exciting,
Make time for each other, just like you used to do before the marriage,
Sometimes sir, just stop and give her a long and passionate kiss,
Give her a long wide smile, she will be sure not to miss,
Sometimes madam, tell him how much you adore him,
And how much you appreciate him,
Just like you used to do before the marriage,
Yes, before the marriage,
There lies the solution to your shaky marriage,
Return to the intensity of your love before the marriage,
How crazy you were of each other,
How much you vowed to love each other forever,
As you walked down the aisle,
You were sure your union would be worth its while,
Well, it is still possible, if you just re-ignite the fire of your love before the marriage,
Yes, before the marriage, that's where the answer lies.
Remember: True love is forever, and so is marriage, forever, well at least till death.

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!
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,

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.
