A Love Without Goodbyes by Alexander A lifetime filled with cheating hearts, all echo from my past. The "promise true's" and "I love you's", each one was meant to last. So, fine was this line of sharing, built with honesty and trust. Each vow's now left inside my head, to slowly gather dust. I struggle to tomorrow, searching hope, yet walking blind. While broken dreams and silent screams, play re-runs in my mind. I try to shake each past mistake, and meet what lies ahead. While hearing cold reminders of these promises once said. It's hard to feel what's wrong from real, when shadows dim the light. I close my eyes and dream a dream of heaven every night. It's all I know, this history, I hold a guiding hand? These scars I show, a lesson that I yet don't understand? Another day awaits me, in this life I call my own. A cruel delay frustrates me, as I face this world alone. Let words once said and tears long shed, rest peaceful in this heart. I know the pain of love in vain, will always play its part. With open arms I welcome such new dreams as may arise, I only pray to find one day, a love... without good-byes.

Will you be my Valentine? I know that I am yours. You are like a tossing sea And I am like your shores. You are like an endless wave And I your waiting sand. And I will wait forever as You come and smooth my hand. I will wait forever, yet You are a part of me. I hold you in my arms, while you Come to me endlessly. Will you be my Valentine? I know that I am yours. I love you with a love that yearns To be your golden shores.

Soooooo Sweeeeeet Girl: do I ever cross your mind Boy: No Girl: Do you like me? Boy: Not really Girl: Do you want me? Boy: No Girl: Would you cry if I left? Boy: No Girl: Would you live for me? Boy: No Girl: Would you do anything for me? Boy: No Girl: Choose--me or your life Boy: my life The girl runs away in shock and pain and the boy runs after her and says... The reason you never cross my mind is because you're always on my mind. The reason why I don't like you is because I love you. The reason I don't want you is because I need you. The reason I wouldn't cry if you left is because I would die if you left. The reason I wouldn't live for you is because I would die for you. The reason why I'm not willing to do anything for you is because I would do everything for you. The reason I chose my life is because you ARE my life.

Thanks to the person i stole this from, but u know imatation is the best form of flattery. I enjoyed this hope u all do A SISTA'S POEM AND A BROTHER'S RESPONSE: Do you qualify to be the man I need you to be? Will you be able to recognize the things you need to see? Will you be able to understand That I'm a good woman and in my life I need a good man? Do you qualify? Do you qualify to fertilize my un-produced seeds? Can you fulfill, as I can, all of our needs? Can you put me in my place if you see I am slippin? Can you talk to me, wholeheartedly, not constantly trippin? Do you qualify? Do you qualify to be called all mine? Can you leave the other women and temptations behind? Can you come to me with your problems and not wait until it's too late? Can you stand up and admit if you made a mistake? Do you qualify? Do you qualify to be the honest ebony man I would want you to be? Would you be able to look me in my eyes and admit your feelings to me? Could you take me in your arms and make love to me all night long? Can you be sensitive and still be strong? Do you qualify? Do you qualify to be my friend as well as my lover? Can you put our love before any other? Can you cherish me as if I were Diamonds & Gold? Can you make me feel like I'm the last woman you'll ever hold? Do you qualify? Do you qualify to be called a good man? If I have doubts can you reassure me and understand? Can your love intoxicate me as if I were high? To be in my life, I need to know, Do you qualify? THE BROTHER'S RESPONSE: You ask, do I qualify. Can I fulfill your needs And become the man you need me to be? My sister, are you prepared for what you've asked for? Can you handle the responsibility? Can you accept that, by GOD, I am the chosen one? The authority, the comforter, and the head. Will you submit and willingly follow my path? Or will you fight with me instead? If I am your King, will you treat me as such? Will I get the best of your beauty and poise? Or will I be subjected to an appearance neglected, And checked with some serious noise? When I talk, will you listen? I mean whole heartedly and feel me? Or will you rush me just to make your point too? Can I be the man at all times? Even when it hurts? Or is it just when it's convenient for you? Can you love me for me, and not who you wish I could be? Will you see the strong Black Man within? Or will you always remind me of the all the past brothers behind me And make me pay for their sins? If I don't send you flowers the day your co-worker received some, Will you know that I love you still? Or will my good name be uttered along with those other doggish brothers? Will you question if my commitment is real? Will you be patient and teach me to understand you, And allow my knowledge of your needs to grow? Or will you shut me out when I ask, Baby what's wrong? Or will you respond with, "Well a REAL man would know!" When we first met, what was it that caught your eye? Was it my mind, my heart, my personality? Or was it my suit, or my job, or do you love what I drive, Instead of what's driving me? Yes I can, and I will, make love to you From midnight to the dawning of the sun. But, if I tell you I'm tired, will you trust I'm sincere Or believe that there must be another one? My sister, I love you and my heart can be yours. No woman could lead me astray. But like you, I have needs, so I beg of you, please, In this love thang meet me half way. In life's tough times I'll hold you, in the rough times I'll mold you; your simplest wish will be my command. My life is yours if need be. Yes you can fully bleed me, And when hell comes, in your place, I'll stand. A good relationship is a powerful institution That must be built on a foundation of two. So to answer your question, YES sister, I do qualify. Now, more importantly.....! DO YOU?

i use to love to love I use to love…..to love…naw….I mean really…, love to love But somewhere along the way……between time and a pause That love for love….turned into a fear ….of love Of the games …..before the love Of the fighting…during the love Of the jelousey….after the love Of the time when u could feel the end coming…but could do nothing but watch as the dynamite …just Sizzled Of the ….time after its over…. When the only thing u could do was ball up into a ball…. And cry…..n hate…..n love…..n hate…n long…n cry When all u could see…when u closed ur eyes…. Was that face….those lips…..those eyes…peering out of the darkness Yhea…know what it is to love…. Then he told me,…. What was mine was his too… He told me those lips I loved ….loved him too….tasted him tooo….. Those big brown eyes I love…..had…and will continue..to gazed at him in mid stoke…too Yhea beleave me …when I tell u…… I use to love…..to love But now….i cant see the stars for the clouds… Cant feel the air under my wings…for fear of the cats…wanting to devour my flesh Cant enjoy the crisp night air for the smog……the cool shade for the blistering sun…man I cant… I cant love…. I miss loving… I miss it… But its safer this way…. I remember it though….. The way…it…covered me and kept me warm…like a thick wool blanket on a…. Freezing …Chicago night……..i remember what it was to love….i …do…I use to love …to love ! BY LAJUANE 1998
