Song Inspired; To Love Somebody!

Lady, I remember the day; the day I laid my heart, in the palm of your hands. A special day, with the fondest of memories; the day I promised you, Forever. From the moment we met, I felt the rhythm; your love, moved my heart. It took years, to get into the groove. Learning to love somebody right, isn’t easy; you have taught me a few moves. This love is still groovy, groove is in the heart. It’s been years, but my heart still hasn’t stopped; slow dancing with your love. The song that plays endlessly within my soul; Always. Your love, my heart; embraced in a forever dance!

The love, I see it in your eyes; it’s felt within my heart. I’ve always known, it was never just trust and believe. Right from the start my heart knew, your heart would get my forever. There’s a light, a certain kind of light; the love that shines from within your soul. It was never a question, if I could live with? The question I posed to my heart, could I truly live without… my special lady. Your love has helped to shape, God’s love; what has molded my heart, to be part of another. Together we’re both better versions, of what I absolutely know; to be a predestined union. When nights are cold, when my love seemed a little too cold. Your love, what warms my heart!

To show the love inside, I have failed many times; my heart had to learn the deeper meaning. Love, to know the depth, is to truly know; to love somebody. I have experienced much, also learned a lot. How to love, how to be loved. I’ve never been much of a romantic, romance; was a foreign concept. You can know an ocean of love, but it’s when a heart drowns there in; when a soul truly becomes free. Romance is a pretty word, but it’s the substance within; that gives it true meaning. With so many, feelings come, feelings go. In love one moment, not liking very much the next; not my heart. Forever in love, was never ever a question. The forever part was settled, my heart just had to learn how to share!

There has never been, nor will there ever be conditions; to have my love. My heart will never contemplate when to love; it’s always, and forever. What I’ve always strived to be, and will be to the very end; faithful, with this heart of mine. In love, many are blind to the truth. A knock down, dragged out… conflict, by two hearts at odds. It doesn’t have to be, no longer in love. One heart, means a coming back together; to be whole. I am a man, a man of faith; a complex man for sure. A man blessed, to live and breathe; through a special kind of love. For me to believe in true love, I didn’t have to wait years; to see if I should give my all. I am not blinded by faith, and it’s not blind faith; choosing to love forever. I first had to believe the heart of The One, I chose to put all my trust. Sweet lady, I trust your love; it only took me days, to know your heart. If love is not forever, then how else does a heart truly learn; To Love Somebody?

A Friday Story; The Amazing Day!

I woke up, it was next to you. Watched you sleep for a moment, kissed you gently, tenderly; I didn’t want to wake, a sleeping angel. So, I rolled out of bed; I had a role to play. Man, what a pleasure; to provide love for your heart. Said a prayer, got dressed; brushed my teeth second. I wanted the kiss upon my lips, to stay with me; forever and a day. Still thinking about the kiss, I slowly headed to the kitchen. With every step there was a resounding echo within my soul; love was the song upon my lips. My heart just kept humming the favorite part; I have nuff love for you!

When I got to the kitchen I had a wonderful breakfast, it was the kiss that made it much sweeter; the sugar I got from my sweet… tea. It took me a while to focus my gaze; off the kiss, and onto the newspaper. As I was checking the lottery section; I realized that we won ten million dollars. So I left the house, and went to go pick up our winnings. On the way I stopped, I had to rescue a cat stuck in a tree. Then a few more minutes down the road, there was a house on fire; with a woman screaming, please save my baby. Without giving it a second thought, I ran straight into the house; rescued the baby. I gently placed the baby into mother’s arms, she thanked me. Then lovingly hugged and kissed the baby, it was such a loving embrace. Tears, and awe; what a sight to behold, we were surrounded by guardian angels!

I finally reached the lottery office, picked up the winnings. It was more money than we would ever need, so I decided to use half of it; to help eradicate world hunger. Some were donated to charity, some used to help discover a cure for Cancer. What was left, just enough to pay the bills; what more do I truly need? Mohammad Ali heard about what was done, he invited me to his home. Thanked me and said, you’re The Greatest. I quickly stopped him, deflected; told him that I don’t hold such a title. There’s nothing great, or impressive about my heart. I looked to the heavens, pointed; to Him who is truly The Greatest. The Amazing Love, that has no contender; a heart, Undisputed!

When I got back home later that day, I kissed my wife; told her all about my day. I said, Wow; what a truly Amazing Day! All because; I WOKE UP, AND IT WAS NEXT TO YOU!!

  • The first paragraph is part of my day, the stories in the following; are things that if the opportunity presented itself, exactly how I would approach them! Life is short, it’s not what you do each day that’s makes a person; but who makes your heart, thrive!

Your Love, Has My Heart!

The English dictionary can explain love, but it will never be able to adequately explain; my love. Sure, I can write with passion, make the words sound eloquent; but one thing they will never be, just pretty words. Yes, sometimes I can truly show you a bit more affection; just know this, your love has my complete attention. I’m not scared to admit, that my love is far from perfect. The flaws are what makes my heart, cling to the love within God’s perfection. The busyness of the day, can sometimes become the talk of the town. Even though a silent river runs deep, it can still get lost within the current; but the ripples, will forever embrace your love!

There are differences between what a woman sees to be true affection, and what this man believes to be apparent; he’s absolutely not finished, giving you his unweaving love. My love is unstoppable, but sometimes it’s your heart; that gets left behind. When we met, I knew you were the woman for me. My heart was forever captured by your smile, by how loving and funny. The beauty, not just head to toe; but what I saw deep inside. The complete package, That’s What You Are! When I saw you on our wedding day, my heart was truly finished searching. I had found what I was waiting for, a love to truly call my own!

We were from different worlds, but the gravitational pull of your love; the light within, the beauty that still leaves my heart breathless. Babe, come search deep within my heart. You will find your love, locked securely within my soul. I may not be all that I want to be, I just hope some day; to be all that your heart needs me to be. You are completely what I want, I will never stop loving you; anytime soon. Within this silent river, your love runs through the depths. A deeply buried treasure, that I want to find again and again. There is only one way that I will ever stop loving you. The day my heart, cease to be no more. So, whenever it may not seem so, just please know this; Your Love, Has My Heart!

Love; The Reason!



Love, an action word, a heart decision; the sensible choice. Even when the planets don’t align, even when the stars don’t twinkle the same. Look into your own heart, see if a faithful love; shimmers through and through. Love, complex truly is the feelings; what’s truly simple, faithfulness to be the response. Love doesn’t need to be an artistic creation, no need to revel in poetic justice; forgiveness, the way to be… happy. So many intelligent minds, have used sound logic; to outsmart their own hearts. The logistics of love at times might be complicated, but love will always flourish; with true growth. Chase after, if that’s the desire; but when the chase has lost a little luster. Don’t let commitment be the fear, but the motivation!

Love doesn’t need to be studied, like an unsolved mystery. Mysteries of the heart are revealed, when the application of love becomes practical. So many spend too much time admiring it, but from a safe distance. To engage in a meaningful way; is to get up close, and personable. But don’t miss the how to, live, love; one day at a time. From time to time you will slip up, but that’s the time when you also step up. In love sometimes you need to know how to discern, how to be delicate; understanding, patient. Love is thoughtful, realistic, balanced, pragmatic; within a sound heart. Love matures, love becomes wiser. I myself have experienced one true land-mind, a foolish heart!

Love has many emotions, up and down are just directions; it’s up to you and your heart, to choose which path to take? Love is not just a feeling, love is an experience; felt first within your heart. How can you truly say you love another, if you haven’t yet worked out within your own heart; The Reason, and what that means to you? So laugh, cry; reflect on each nostalgic moment. Sappy love songs, #Now And Forever; can help bring hearts closer together. But love needs to be defined, by the why; your heart first made the choice? Choose to stay in love, let true Love be; The Reason!

  • I hope everyone enjoyed this special week of posting, Sunday I got back to my 4 day a week post. Have a wonderful weekend!

Listen To My Heart!

Listen to my heart, how does it truly sound? Does it sound pleasing, or does this question sound; like it’s intended to please my own heart? Would it please You, if I said it still beats for You profusely; or would You just think, that it’s a heart still beating out of control?

Listen to my heart, do you believe; it’s trying to be in step with your heart? 123, 123, I have mastered the steps. But if I occasionally stumbled, would you think my love; is still a bit blind? Yes, I’ve messed up a time or two; closer to more times than I can count. Listen to my heart, at times I may have lost the rhythm; but never the beat. Your love is within every beat, within the very love that moves my heart!

Listen to my heart, the heart might only be the fifth largest organ in the body; but my heart is my voice. My heart has a voice, but it’s Your love; that gives it the strength, to stand the test of life. I have the power to choose, the choice has always been one and forever the same; letting Your love be the voice within. My heart has been loud, but the question is; has it been clear?

Listen to my heart, I will forever take hold of Your love; for You definitely have a forever hold of my soul. My heart gets to love You, without a single doubt; the best thing my heart will ever get to do. So when it seems the focus is not your heart, whenever it seems my words have left so much unsaid. Sometimes I’m just absolutely lost for words, so I try to let my heart be the one; to express the words within. Whenever you need to hear the love, whenever you need to feel the passion; listen to my heart!

Through It All!

Our love has been tested, through the storms of life; within this love journey. Through it all we’ve learned to trust, trust that the anchor will forever hold!

• The winds blew strong; but stronger was the anchor, to this day it still holds.

• The tidal waves came, high were the waves. But the higher the waves, the deeper went the anchor; it still holds.

• The rains were torrential, sometimes the downpour so overwhelming; but yet, the anchor still holds.

• The waters rose high, but my heart was never drowning. My heart was secure, I knew within my soul; in whom the anchor holds.

Even when our hands could not hold tight, we still didn’t lose hope. Within every moment, within every situation; our hearts were still anchored. We held on tighter than ever, the anchor was God’s love. Yes, through it all, within our weakness. Through it all, our faith remained strong; knowing that the three strands, could never be broken!

Babe, our hearts have weathered many storms; our love is still securely anchored. The storms came, to test the strength of our hearts. But the strength of our character, that’s what have fortified our love. How can two hearts ever tell how strong they truly are? If not for real test, and unyielding trials; but through it all.

Sweet lady, listen to my soul. Hear that your love is still entwined, beating with the rhythm of my heartbeat; a beat ever so strong. Your love is the reason, why through it all; my heart is still anchored, to the strength of your love!

My Sweet Sixteen!

My wish, that someday I will be every bit of a man; your heart needs me to be? Just know, till then; my heart will be faithful. Your love has always been sweet, you will always be; my sweet sixteen. Wish upon a star, wish that you may; but I wish that you might. Let all my love, be your one wish tonight!

So go ahead, make a wish, but don’t blow out the candles; I want your flame, to keep burning forever. Instead, do the thing you always do; blow my mind. Touch my heart, like you always do; tell me, is it still the right texture? The texture of not just a good, but a faithful man? Good feelings come and go, but faithfulness; will faithfully be, good!

Honey, make a wish; no need for any hesitations. God’s love is the cord, that binds it all together. My love is the gift, unwrap and take my heart; it’s yours forever. The love within, comes with a lifetime commitment. You may not be sixteen today, but you’re still my sweet love; I’m still sweet on you. Sweetie, it’s your birthday, but I too have been given a gift. Thirty plus years later, I get to reminisce; about the first birthday of yours we ever spent together. Happy Birthday, to My Sweet Sixteen!

The Fork!

I’ve always tried my very best to anticipate, to watch my step; guard my heart. Sometimes, we can find ourselves at a crossroad; the proverbial fork in the road. This world has so many ups and downs, choices; when you find yourself lost, look up. Some people might think that’s not a viable direction, but that would be the best decision. They can even make you feel like you’re crazy, you’re not. Crazy is a state of mind. Making a decision, without the heart being part of the deciding factor; insanity becomes the state!

As for me and my heart, No one will ever be able to stick a fork; done, would mean I no longer walk the earth. Tenderness, will forever be the feeling; that differentiates a hardened heart, from a gentle soul. How can anyone see if love permeates within; if you’re never willing to show the tender side? Don’t get me wrong, we all have a side; that at times can be a bit distasteful. You may have been burnt one, too many times; don’t let those dark moments, define your heart!

So therefore, let the true undeniable presence abide; love. It doesn’t matter how hardened you‘ve become, your heart cannot deny the truth; the love within. When you have truly come to the realization, that within the heart; love is the deep seeded desire. Being tender, will then never be a crossroad; but the path, you’ve forever chosen to take. Even when your heart gets completely full; don’t let the love, stop feeding your soul. Whenever your soul feels overwhelmed, just take a deep breath; then let your heart, take in every bit of that Amazing love. Real love needs to be savored, not just consumed. Even though the love, is truly poised; to consume your heart, from within!

My friends, chew on this; the true meat of any good relationship, are the truly tender moments; your heart gets to enjoy. That’s right, take the time to enjoy every bit of those moments; especially, when it’s a truly tasty love. Go ahead, get your fill, just remember; it’s not about stuffing your heart, but filling each others soul; try a little tenderness. And if you again get to another fork, keep the love moving forward; the fork is never the end of the road. The love you will crave today, will still make you hungry; for more of the same tomorrow. Don’t stop thirsting, don’t ever stop feasting; don’t let the love within your heart go hungry. Because from the very beginning, you didn’t already make up within your heart; which fork you would forever choose?

When A Man Loves!

When a man loves a woman, her heart can never do anything wrong; when a man loves. A real man treats her like a lady, forever say he’s a man in love; with her heart, the beauty within a woman. When a man loves a woman, he will love her for life. He will make her heart, the love of a lifetime; when a man loves!

How could a man ever truly turn his back on her heart, why would he ever turn his back on his heart; didn’t her love, become his heart? A deep river woman, willing to love forever; willing to give you her whole heart, a woman’s love!

My baby is the apple of my eye, sweet is the sugar; a cutie pie. The very reason why; spring became my favorite season, I found my May Flower. Sweet lady, this man loves his woman. Even when my love doesn’t seem so sweet. Lady, from day one, deep within my heart. Your love became part of my soul, your love filled a hole!

When a man loves a woman, he gives her the best of his heart. Deep down within his soul, he couldn’t love anyone else; only when a man will forever love that woman. I do was the first step, forever becomes the next step. Unconditionally, goes without saying. He promised that he will do it forever; when a man, truly loves a woman!
