WHAT'S LOVE?

As I considered this beautiful thing called Love,
And how people are quick to say, "I Love You",
Without knowing what it means, or what being in love would involve,
I am inspired to share my thoughts on this subject with you,
So, I ask; What's Love?

Is it lust or "lost", is it infatuation, passion, deception, or may be titillation,
Is it a mere feeling, or an inner excitement, sentiment, a carnal embodiment or a sexual embellishment,
Is it a one night stand, "a forever stand", a short term stand or an entirely impossible realization,
Is it only a fairy tale, fading fantasies, unrealistic day dreams or an ephemeral excitement,
What really is this Love?
Is it true, real, godly, divine, heavenly and sent only from above,

Well, after much cogitation, after much meditation, and after much contemplation,
I am awakened and enlightened as to what this Love really is and to its true description,
For once, it is not lust neither is it "lost", it is far from infatuation even if it may start as infatuation,
It could be a true passion, but it is certainly not deception for it doesn't wear a camouflage, and it is not an instant titillation,
It is not a one night stand, no, not at all, it is certainly a "forever stand", for it lasts forever if it is real and true, And in a misinformed and ignorant world like ours, this Love is still a possible realization-this too, is true,
Love is not a fairy tale, it is not a fading fantasy or an unrealistic day dream or an ephemeral excitement,
But this Love is true, it is real, it is godly, it is divine, it is heavenly and is sure from above-this is not a fallacious inducement,
To make you accept this concept, but a beacon to lead you along love's true path,
For true love is selfless, sacrificing, it is giving, it is considerate, it would die for its own, and remains even on a difficult path,
Need I say more? True love is not selfish, it is not proud, it doesn't hurt its own, it is always there and ever present, it is all these but lust, and infatuation-it doesn't lead on a deceptive and destructive path...
So, the next time, you feel like saying, "I Love You", be sure you understand what you are saying and mean it.

N/B: What's your thought on love, let me know as we draw closer to this Valentine's day...

ALL SHE WANTS...

I hear brothers sometimes, complaining about how their ladies are too demanding,
They talk about how they demand gifts, jewelries, attention and even pampering,
So some brothers these days no longer pay attention to their ladies,
They don't pay attention to their needs and feelings, and even when they buy gifts, it's so they can get a taste of their bodies,
So, there is no longer sacrifice or compromise in a relationship these days, neither is there true love,
What a Shame!
But as I contemplated on this scenario, a thought struck me,
And a realization was awakened within me,
It's a thought and a realization which I find to be true with every woman no matter her likes, dislikes or preferences;
That sometimes, all the woman wants is a simple compliment, that tells her how beautiful she is,
Sometimes all she wants is a simple "I love you", telling her how appreciated she is,
Sometimes all she needs is a long passionate kiss on her lips, telling her how loved she is,
Sometimes all she desires is a tight hug and a close hold, through the night, telling her how comforting and satisfying her warmth is,
Seriously, sometimes that is all she needs, instead of always demanding for sex and whining about how demanding she is; think less of yourself and more of her for once, and see how wonderfully that would work for your union,

When was the last time you called her, "honey",
When was the last time you laughed at her jokes even though they were not funny,
When was the last time you bought her something special when she didn't ask for it, or it wasn't her birthday,
When was the last time you served her break fast in bed and wished her a blessed and fruitful day,
Really, when?
When was the last time you really listened as she talked about how her day has been,
When was the last time you looked her in the eyes,  told her you loved her, and even called her your queen,
When was the last time you rubbed down her stress as you massaged her, while running the bath for her,
Brothers, a woman needs to be appreciated, made to feel loved and told how much she is worth,
She needs a man who is ready to "buy" and preserve her love no matter how much the cost,
Really, sometimes it is not the money, not the flash or the cash, the glitz and glamor that she needs,
It is just a man who thinks more of her and less of himself-that brothers, is all she needs.

Someone to Love...

So many times my heart has been broken,
So many times my emotions have been shaken,
Because I was quick to love,
Because I was quick to see every girl in my life, as an angel sent me from above,
I was always the first to say, "I love you",
I was always the first to say, "I'll be there for you",
But time and again, they've all turned out to be the same,
They've all turned out to bear the same name-
Opportunist, infidel, heart-breaker, and heartless,
They all did what they wanted, never cared for me, their behaviors so mindless,
So, right now I am sick and tired of this thing called love,
My soul is saturated with true feelings, and my heart is overflowing with love,
But I am more careful to release my heart, so I am searching and looking for Someone to Love,
I'm looking for someone to love me for me, someone who I can truly say, is sent from above,

Yes, Someone to Love me,
Someone to be there for me,
Someone to tell me our love is meant to be,
Someone who would be there when the riches are abundant,
And someone who remains when the wealth becomes absent,
Someone to call me "honey" when I have the money,
And someone who will still call me "honey", when I don't have the money,
Yes, someone to be the light in my seasons of darkness,
And someone to be my happiness in my days of sadness,
Of a truth, my soul is saturated with true feelings, and my heart is overflowing with love,

So, I'm searching and looking for Someone to Love,
I am looking around my neighborhood, combing through the woods, searching across the oceans, and flying across the globe, in search of my true, true, really true love,
And I pray I find her.

ALL I ASKED...

Never knew loving you would be a mistake,
Never knew your love was a wrong pill to take,
For ever since I fell in love with you, and made my intentions known, it's being all pain,
Ever since you came into my life it's been all pain, without gain,
It feels like loving you was a crime,
A crime for which I'm now doing time,
In the jail of tears, sorrows, and heartbreak,
Baby, I thought you were the real deal, but now it's clear you were just fake,

All I asked was for you to love me the way I loved you,
All I asked was for you to reciprocate the true care I showed you,
I wasn't asking you to die for me,
If I did, I am sure you wouldn't agree,
Girl, like Bruno Mars said, I was willing to catch a grenade for you,
I was ready to take a bullet for you,
I was even prepared to die for you,
Because I really loved you,
Because I was willing to give it all up, just to be with you,
And all I asked in return, was just a little caring,
Just a little loving,
Just a little feeling,
Nothing colossal, nothing out of this world, just a little love,

Is that too much to ask from someone you love?
Is that too much to ask from some you care for?
Baby, tell me if that is too much to ask,
If only you had told me from the onset,
If only you had informed me from the start,
I seriously wouldn't have spent my money buying you gifts,
Taking you to the movies, buying you pearls, diamonds, and giving you lifts,
Really, you should have told me,
That this love was not meant to be,
For I made it clear from the start, I didn't want to be just a friend,
But also a lover, who would be by you till the end,
But you betrayed me, and on the same night you accepted my proposal,
I found you in another man's arms, but you were in denial,
Worst still, that other man was my best friend- baby how could you have been so heartless,
And when I confronted you about it, you denied, telling me, "it's not what you think"-that's just senseless,
But after all is said and done, I just can't help it; I still love you, and would still take you back, if you would repent, turn around, and this pretense cease,
For all I asked, all I'm asking, and all I'll continue to ask is that you be true to yourself, and be real with me, baby do this for me, please.














 

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

It was the night that marked the end of years of waiting for that divine gift,
Which God commanded to be used and shared within the nuptial circle, exclusively,
It was the night when my heart, spirit, soul and body experienced a joyful lift,
As she stood before me stripped of her clothes, in the purity of her sexuality and the beauty of her body, totally,
My lower member experienced a lift, and after that night I was certain our sexual bond will leave me with no guilt,
For we were now joined in holy matrimony by the Father,
It was a night to remember,

It was the night when our spirits and souls were united sexually,
The night when our bodies touched and rubbed against each other, as we partook in God's gift, so pure and holy,
That night, heaven smiled on us, the full moon beamed at us, and even the gentle breezes of the night sang for us, as I passionately kissed her sensuous lips,
Oh, it's a night I will never forget, for as I drew from her sexual treasures, and she moaned to the thrashing of her hips,
I was reminded that this night was worth the years of waiting,
And as I went in between her luscious thighs, I was grateful, there was no compromising,
For I recalled when erroneously, and out of ignorance our peers told us there was no sense waiting,
And as she sank down and took me in her mouth, excited by the warmth of love that enclosed us, I knew this will forever be a night to remember,

She was my first and I was her first,
And ever since that night, only her fountains have quenched my thirst,
Of a truth, heaven was behind our union, and the almighty sanctioned our marriage,
Two love birds, always flocking together, forever inseparable, like a dual carriage,
That's what we are to each other, indeed, our love was meant to be,
She knows this, so she doesn't let any other taste of her sexual treasures, she keeps them just for me,
I love her, she cherishes me, I adore her, she respects me, she calls me "honey", I call her "sweetie",
And as long as we both live, we will never forget that special night-the night of our honey moon.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE BOY

Drop-dead gorgeous, legs so straight and spotless, face so smooth and fine, her skin so tender and original, under the sun, it glistens,
Her lips so tender and sensuous, her words so smooth and soothing, whatever she says I'll listen,
Yeah, that's the kind of girl I want, but don't be deceived!
For I'm not your average boy!
Neither am I looking for a girl I'll play with like a toy,
Truth is all that glitters is not gold, and because beauty is ephemeral,
I'm rather attracted to inner beauty and character, that which is eternal,
And I'm more attracted to that which is invisible, in stead of that which is visible, so that I don't find myself running from that which is visible, when I finally know that which is invisible,
I hope I didn't lose you? What I'm saying is, though beauty is what I see in a girl, her character is all that matters to me-that, remains a desirable,
For I rather marry a girl who is not so perfect on the outside, but who is perfect on the inside-one with character, who can be to me, a mother and a sister,
One who loves me for me; who can be a soul mate and a lover,
So you see, when it comes down to it, I'm really not your average boy!

Baby, baby, please don't look at me like a player,
For am not like every other brother,
So when I try to be smooth with you, I'm just trying to win you over-so I can be to you, a true friend,
You know, a companion who is always by you, always there till the end,
'Cos I'm not your average boy,
Neither am I looking for a girl I'll play with like a toy,
So when you see me looking so sharp, staring in you direction, I'm not trying to impress you so I can go between your legs, no!
All I'm trying to do is to impress you, so I can get to know you better, find out the color of your heart, and may be tie the knots with you, before asking about the color of your panties, you know,
Yes I'm willing to listen with interest, attentively,
And at night, when you say you want to be held closely,
I'll do just that, because I respect and honor you,
And I'm willing to do everything I can to make you feel loved, because I truly love you,
So you see, when it comes down to it, I'm really not your average boy!

NOT YOUR AVERAGE GIRL!

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!
