Love’s Anthem: Heart Check One, Two 

Let love speak loud, let it be crystal clear; let its anthem rhythmically flip the script. Whenever love drops its heartfelt rhyme, it’s not an ordinary microphone; it’s another magic moment. Mic check one, two. When love leans in, tap on its heart, give it a little feedback; does it resonate, does the love speak volumes? Does it seem another plug, or deep love plugged into the right power source, giving you the best of its heart? True love doesn’t rely on the right sound quality, to reverberate effortless. Amped up verbs, might echo the sound of music, but if its intentions are not truly instrumental, how could it ever be profound? Real love has certain kind of richness, permeating its truth endless, love’s clarity experienced HD surround. Love, the heart’s finely tuned instrument, deeply felt sound waves converted; its good variation, its sweet sensation. Hearts around the world, turn up the bass. Let love speak true, its beauty seep through. Every stage of life, let love step up to the mic — heart check one, two.

Song Inspired: When You Believe

Love’s Unchained Melody

Dearest love, you are the heart of what my soul believes. The Greatest Love of All, has no bounds. Deepest verse of a note-filled lyric, the song playing in the depth of this heartfelt melody. Day and night words pray, proof anyone hears, love echoing its hopeful rhapsody. Knowing there’s much to fear, in your embrace we’ve been moving mountains — long before a single breath knew it could. There can be miracles when you believe, that though hope is frail, tethered to faith love knows; You’ll Never Stand Alone. No heart knows what miracles it can achieve? But in love when you believe, somehow, it’s revealed to you — love’s freedom will be. Love, my heart has become so full, words can’t even explain. How tears for fear, being the most beautiful exchange, love liberating my heart and soul with its unchained melody — no fear of the unknown. Dearest love, when I need to believe, I Look to You. I Believe in You and Me, in what this will forever be. Nobody, loves me like you do!

*** When You Believe, is a song by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey — released in 1998. ***

Since 2018, I’ve been taking one of Whitney’s songs, and used it to write a song inspired post here on WordPress — on or near her birthday; which is August 9th, commemorating her life and legacy.

Embracing Life’s Journey | Courage, Faith, and Heart 

Life is a journey from the moment we take our first breath. We enter it dependent on others to help guide the way. Not knowing where the path will take us, we learn how to stand strong navigating life’s sway. Step by step, growing stronger and wiser one day at a time. Living breath by breath, letting passion and compassion elevate the journey moment by moment. If mountains high, let your heart soar. In valleys low, in deep rivers true love deeply flows. The story unfolds, the pages untold, with courage so bold. You only need faith to believe, a life lived well received. Your heart on a profound journey, a beacon of hope so free. Shining bright for all to see, for that someone who may be following — the luminous light they see in you.

Independent Vibes: All About Love

Island Riddim

Life’s storms can’t shake the vibe, cool running’s swaying the Caribbean groove. Montego’s Bay having its say, heart’s dancing to the jam down riddim, love taking your soul higher and higher. In the darkest moment, rhythm of freedom shines, it’s all about love. One love, one heart; one little island’s sweet release. Within heaven’s light, we bleed the same, we breathe the same air. Step by step, courage takes the lead, faith rising above the struggle. In nature’s embrace, the dance through the everyday struggle. Dancing breeze, whispering wind, smiles that never tire, a place to call home. Within the quiet, sun kissing up on your skin; sing heart and soul sing, the melody of independence’s song. Reggae beat and love’s easy flow, cooling indulgent heat. Love rocking away to the bass, heart in no haste, grooving to independence’s bliss, August 6th.

Encamped: Love’s Deep River Encounter

My heart, encamped by the shores of love’s deep river, my innermost basking in the crackling warmth of its peaceful sublime. My soul, content with the nature of its breathtaking ambiance, my heart captivated by its irrevocable embrace. Like that of an endearing campsite, the essence of its light lingers breathless — within the wee moments of love’s perfect starry gaze. My heart exposed, love camped so close and dear to the depth of my heart and soul. Closer with every breath, and every deeply felt exhale. Its flame, its closeness, more than a burning; its consuming desire, live wholeheartedly in its rhapsody. My heart encamped within its canopy, its breadth enthralled within the fabric of my being. My heart not fishing for compliments, my soul cast wide and free. Every encounter being love’s deep places, my heart drowning breathless within its unfathomable depths. Every day, its insatiable fire kindled new, burning faithfully — through and true.

Growing into Yourself

Dearest Flower, life’s quintessential journey, seeds of progression within a heart blossoming, its soulful destiny of becoming. Along the way, heart adjustments, its heartfelt realization: its lifetime process of inevitability’s sway. Baby steps, learning that even if one foot in front of the other, we can still fall short of true potential. But keep growing; being grateful for every breath, grace afforded by love’s sublime breadth. Never giving up, innermost awakened existence. Even if the sun doesn’t shine, and the rain falls from clouded vision, faith watered grows deeper. Strong roots, even if seasons of personal growth seem stagnant; heart and soul never swayed by momentary drought. Consistent weeding, allows rooted expectations to flourish, possibilities become endless. Buds of succession, growing into fullness, life’s endearing bloom encountering the beauty within forevermore. Yours truly!

Love’s Heartfelt Balance: Power and Strength

Friends, beloved, beautiful hearts, lend me your ears. This is my heart has come to know. In order for love to have the ability to lean in, one’s heart must first be willing to concede love’s power. True love isn’t a perfect provision of wants and needs; it’s an endless balance of its power and strength. The power love gives to become, the strength one’s heart needs for it to always be. Knowing how to emanate the strength of its power, learning to intuitively tap into the source of its essence. Some days, the mind becomes profoundly overwhelmed, but when the heart is opened, the power of love becomes that proverbial switch, every heart needs exposed.

  • We have the power through love to act, but love with misguided strength yields no power to change any heart or mind?
  • We have the power to pull down, but does the love you wield have strength to build up?
  • We have the power to speak our mind, but it takes an even greater courage. To let your love’s quiet strength be, more convincingly powerful than words.
  • We have the power to keep silent, but does your heart have the strength to speak up when truth needs to speak its peace?
  • The power of positive thinking is strength to compel, but does not have the power to positively propel until the heart is convinced it has the indwelling strength to enact.
  • Words have absolute power, but wisdom gains an unbelievable amount of compelling strength; the heart knowing the most powerful moments reveals itself through actions. Jun 12, 2026

Love Inspired | Honey Be.

Girl, when I met you, I wasn’t good at this stuff, letting my river run free. But then, dam, girl; the water broke me. My red river flows through, the silence inside became my beautiful deep blue sea. At first, words flowed a little bit crazy, poetically love seemed a little sideways, maybe. This real love story, God gets the glory. This is not the end, love’s ink drips poetic from the heart, a love right for you and me—of what’s yet to be. Sweet lady, my love could never be hazy; to see loving you was never once crazy. Your love flows soft and sweet, my love beats strong and steady. You will always be my May flower, my sweet honey bee, the butterfly wings still fluttering the inside of me. To my heart, your love said I do, inked forever my honey be.

May 28th, 2026, the celebration of my wife and I’s 38th wedding anniversary.

*** I haven’t been online much this week, spending a little time offline this week, but will be back to catch up with everyone’s heart next week. ***
