Violets are blue and roses are red, true,
But I love pearls, jewelries, gold and diamonds,
I eat ice creams, chocolates, veggies and almonds,
I use Victoria's secret, carry gucci bags, love Louis Vuitton, and rock Prada,
I like a man straight from GQ magazine, good-looking and well-chiseled, yeah, a man whose bank account does not stagger,
But I'm not your average girl,
'Cos even if I love pearl,
I wouldn't exchange my feminine pride for the world's treasures,
Not for a million dollar, no!
And I wouldn't give up my feminine sanctity for short degrading moments of sexual pleasures,
Not even for a billion dollar, no!
So, you see, when it comes down to it,
I'm really not your average girl!
Most women like a man who would make them glow,
Some women desire a man who makes them feel loved and cherished-this I know,
But when it comes to me, I like them both, you know, like the best of both worlds,
I love to ride in Bentleys, Rose Royce and Lamborghinis, like the queen of the world,
I like a man who says to me, "baby, I'll buy you anything you want",
And who would say to me, "I'll take you anywhere you want"
But I'm not your average girl,
'Cos even if I love pearl,
I wouldn't date a man who wouldn't want to see the color of my heart, but is interested in seeing the color of my panties, yeah,
Neither would I marry a man who doesn't want to get into my heart, but would do all he can to get into my underwear,
I too desire a man who respects me, and would listen with interest when I talk, attentively
You know a man, who would understand that sometimes at night, all I want is to be held very closely,
I wouldn't let a man between my legs, so that to my requests, he would listen and heed,
Neither would I jump into bed with any man who can take care of my needs,
I believe in chastity, and virginity-keeping one's self till marriage,
So I can hold my head up high, walk with strides of pride and steps of dignity, cos my life is really not a dual carriage,
I believe in the dignity of labor, working hard to get to where I want to be,
Not waiting for a man to come and taste of the treasures in me, so he can bring out the best in me,
So you see, when it comes down to it, I'm really not your average girl!

LET GO AND MOVE ON! II
...Truth is, I still think of her,
I wish she would come back to me, and we go back to just how we were,
I even wish I never embarked on this journey,
But then I realize that this journey was what it took to reveal to me whether she was just for the money, or she was truly a real honey,
I still sit by the phone hoping Cupid would remind her of me, and push her to call,
But now I know it's just a waste of time, for she never answered when I gave her a call,
I even check the mail, hoping she would send me a greeting,
But it seems to me that I have become to her a forgotten case, not worth sending a greeting,
What do I do?
Stay and cry, and continue mourning the departure of this special one?
Or Let Go and Move On?
I still stare at her pictures for minutes, even hours-she's become an obsession,
I even stay up late thinking of her-she's become a mental possession,
I still remember our vows-to respect each other and remain chaste till marriage,
Together we would chase our dreams like a dual carriage,
But she betrayed that vow and lost her virginity,
She betrayed my trust and lost her chastity,
But inspite of that, I still want her back in my life, for my soul has remained sore,
Ever since she walked out my life's door,
What do I do?
Stay and cry, and continue mourning the departure of this special one?
Or Let Go and Move On?
I have decided to Let Go and Move On,
And so should you!
Yours may not be love, it might be a lost business venture,
It might be the loss of an investment or some other venture,
It might be the loss of a true friend or a loved one, may be in death,
The departure of this person, people or thing, seemed to have stifled your breath,
You cry everyday, hoping you could turn back the hands of time,
You mourn everyday, hoping you could go back in time,
You live in regrets everyday, hoping it never happened,
But here is the reality-it happened!
So, please quit mourning,
And usher your life into a new beginning,
You have mourned enough,
You have cried enough,
There are better days ahead, and your future is still very bright,
You can still be the winning head, you still have within you, a bright light,
So, please Let Go and Move On!
For except you let go of the good you might never get the better,
And except you forget about the better, you may never see the best!
Be wise!
Peace!

LET GO AND MOVE ON!
Sometimes in life, we desire that the things we love will be forever,
Sometimes we desire that the people we love will stay forever,
We even wish our hearts will never be broken,
And that our trust in those we have taken to heart will never be shaken,
But life happens and we loose the ones we love,
Not because they died but because they betrayed our trust and discarded our love,
So, what do you do?
Stay and cry, constantly mourning the departure of that special one?
Or to Let Go and Move On?
I say, Let Go and Move On!
She was the love of my life,
My first love, the only one I really loved in life,
She was perfect, or may be I thought so,
Her beauty was spotless, both inwardly and outwardly, or may be I thought so,
I fell in love with her as a teen,
She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen,
She was all I wanted in my love-life,
I loved her so much, I prayed to God, asking Him if she was going to be my wife,
Together, we seemed like the perfect couple, meant just for each other,
It seemed like we were destined for each other,
Until I went across seven seas and over seven mountains, in search of greener pastures,
Then, her true nature was revealed, for our love became a forgotten venture,
I guess physical distance for her, meant emotional distance,
For physical distance was all it took to reveal her true essence,
She was just a heart-breaker,
She was nothing but a smooth talker...

UNCENSORED LOVE
Who says a black boy from the "South Coast",
Cannot tango with a white girl from the West Coast, (no pun intended!),
Who says a light-skinned brother from the South side,
Cannot marry a chocolate-skinned sister from the West side,
Who says,
Baby, they said we could never make it together,
People said we were not meant for each other,
They never gave us a chance to show our love,
Even when it was clear that love was from above,
But I've got news for everyone out there,
It's a new year, and I'm taking this love to another level, yeah,
Okay, I don't mean sex! No! Remember the vow we made,
To remain chaste till we are married, yeah, that's what we said,
Girl, all I'm saying is, this year, I'm prepared to give you Love Uncensored,
Love Uninhibited, and Love Unrestricted, that's what I seek,
We are done playing hide and seek,
It's time to let the love out!
And live the love out!
Who says a poor boy from Mississippi cannot date a rich girl from California,
Who says a black girl from New York cannot be with a white boy from Florida,
Who says,
Honey, they said we were incompatible,
They said our lives together would be double trouble,
They never gave us a chance to be together,
Even when it was clear we are destined for each other,
But, baby, it's a new year, and I hate to burst their bubbles,
I'm going to cut to the chase and put an end to the juggles,
I've got news for everyone out there,
We are taking this relationship to another level, yeah,
And again, I don't mean sex! Remember the vow, we made,
To respect each other till marriage, that's what we said,
All I'm saying sweet heart, is, I'm ready to give you an Uncensored love,
I'm prepared to give you an Unrestricted Love, I've decided to give you an Uninhibited Love, that's what I seek,
'Cos we are done playing hide and seek,
It's time to let the love out!

MAKE THAT CHANGE!
Okay, so it's a new year,
And you made it thus far. Congratulations, yeah,
There is still a lot of excitement in the air,
That's good,
But let's take off any hood,
That may keep us from putting the year in perspective,
And doing the things which would bring to fruition, the dreams which in our lives are prospective,
Truth is, while so many will continue their same old ways, afraid to rearrange,
If you want to turn your situations around, you must be prepared to make that change!
I believe your life is ready for something new,
And there's a feeling in my spirit the universe is waiting for a change by you,
I don't know what changes you have to make,
Or what choices you have to take,
But here is what I know-this year, the right decision,
Will put your life in the right direction,
Please, take this seriously, and make that change,
And do what it takes to rearrange,
Put your life on the right path, and take in an air of fresh breath,
Honestly, this year, there would be some discouragements along the way,
But you have to brace yourself, stick it out and hold on, all the way,
This can be your best year ever, or your worst year ever- it all depends on you,
Concerning your dreams, visions and goals, you can't afford to give up! Stay true,
To your resolutions, stay true to your commitments-lose that weight, quit that bad habit,
Quit that relationship that is threatening your peace of mind, stop it,
Whatever changes you have to make, go on ahead with it,
You can write that book, you can start and finish that project, yes! You can!
I don't mean to be cliche' with that last phrase, but truth is, whatever your mind can conceive, this year if you believe, you can achieve, yes! You can!

STRONGER WITH YOU!
Sorrowful nights, painful plights and darkened lights,
Hopes dashed, visions dissolved and dreams ailing,
Love tested, trust wavered, baby, through the fights,
Through the hardships, when our foundations began failing,
And the world predicted we wouldn't last long,
We stayed together, never stopped singing our love song,
Baby, we made it through, 'cos you were by my side,
I am stronger and better with you by my side,
I almost gave up, when the rains of sorrows came pouring down,
The thorns of disappointments pierced my soul, and my heart left broken,
Truly, my assets were destroyed and my world came crumbling down,
My patience was tried, my perseverance evaluated and my faith-shaken,
I thought I was going to lose my mind,
But I am grateful to God for you, you could have moved on and left me behind,
But honey you stayed, you stood bye me,
And together we made it, you and me,
Darling, I am stronger and better with you by my side,
Friends deserted, folks parted, and even family abandoned,
But baby, you stayed,
Stronger and better, I am, with you by my side,
Loved ones departed, brethren varnished and fellows disappointed,
But baby, you remained,
Stronger and better, I am, with your love on my inside,
The wealth was blown away by the winds and the glamor by the waters was washed away,
But baby, you continued, always by me, making me stronger, day by day,
Thanks for loving me! Thank you!
