Unfinished Project......

"Untitled "

"Hands cuffed over your ears

Because you said you couldn't stand 

The crying...

But your constant push 

Caused the painful break

Like melting ice my once solid love......

Is turning into hate

Though we have often mended our differences...

Those seams always seem to come unraveled

And we end up tangled in the undone pieces

Causing the  fragile heart to be shaken

But this time....it's gone a little to far....

The crying can't be tamed......the rip cannot be repaired 

Walk away...allow whats left to remain

Regret ignites with the flame of resentment   

Causing the roar of crying to be unbearable 

Even to me....

The "show"

"The Show"

Act 1 scene 5

Now is my Showtime

Going Live

Happy face on as I pretend

Playing the part 

Consisting of smiles and giggles 

Nothing close to what I'm actually feel inside

I take it in Stride

And continue to play my role

But when the lights go out

The true story unfolds

Tears and smudged makeup

Once I cross the threshold

Blow ups and backups caused

From business demands

However the Show must go on

Prepare your face for your fans

All that hurt and pain you gotta erase

Replace it with your style and Grace

Get ready.....

Act 1 scene  6

Is about to take place........

Your Side

The more steps I take,

You deepen your stride,

Your running from me

When I'm just trying to be by your side,

Growing weary,eyes getting teary,

When you speed through our dealings,

Never had feelings so strong......

So I continue to walk on

Abiding in God,

Hoping and praying 

You'll eventually realize 

All I want....is to be by your side.... 

Stripped

Strip Me
Help me strip down
The attire I’ve been clothed in
Remove it all so that there is nothing
Hold me tight
Until I’m used to the air
That beats around me  from all directions
All me to feel your skin against mine
Just to know your there
When those moments of despair creep in
Let it not come between you and I
Instead draw me even closer
To you
Allowing us 2 to become 1
And even if just for a  moment
Let the  warmth from your skin
Warm mine
Until I’m used to the air…
That beats around me  from all directions
Now that I’m stripped free in front of you.

God Sends me Love Letters :-)

I was reading another blog(Higher Dimension Church-Houston Texas) when I got inspired for this blog posting God is good because I believe he sent me directly to their page to read this because I was filled!! The blog talked about the Woman at the well in John 4:7-9.  As you can tell from some of my older blog posts, I am a hopeless romantic. I know that true Love exists and I long for it. However, as the blog post says, we sometimes chase things that we always leave us thirsty after a while, but God will give us everlasting living water. Once we drink this water, we will never thirst again. So some of the things I look for in a man. I begin to look for in God. I love letters. Love notes. This is what I saw while "getting to know" God. I hope you like it. Please feel free to leave comments or feedback. God Bless sand thanks for stopping by. ~Taye

"God Sent me a Love Letter"

God sent me a love letter today,

He always sends them at the right time ....

Always showing his love in the best way...

This morning I could have 

saw a smile the sun rise

And those beautiful flowers I like...

I know I saw one of them wink their eyes

On lunch even though I didn't need then

The cook gave me extra fries....

On the way home those five lights

That always seem to be redone after the other

We're green...all of them,,,

God knows I like that....

And dispute my constant

Chit chat about this and that

He sent me a word....

Don't worry about tomorrow  either

I got that....

Then I read where he wrote....I know the plans

I have for you....

Spelled it out for me when

He said I will never leave you or forsake you

God sent me a love letter today

He shows it in all the things he do....

And if you look out for it

I'm sure he sent you one too......

There is more to life than Yesterday ......

Sometimes we find ourselves holding on to things. Not knowing exactly when to let go and move on. We can't always hold on to yesterday ...it will cause us to miss out on today.  Be blessed!  Leave your feedback/ comments. Part two coming soon. ~Taye 

"Yesterday "

Yesterday was all I had

So I cling to it

Remaining asleep 

Held captive by my own fear

A permanent seat

 viewing 

A reoccurring nightmare 

Tired of the same old thing

But I'm comfortable

If I could just move 

Maybe I could wake up

And this dream would be over

But I'm so comfortable 

This incubus has been going on for so long

Is there really anything else...

Most likely not

This may be something ill have to accept

Cause yesterday is all I have...

Then I woke up......

                    

        To be continued.........

Finding a Piece of Mind.......

In life, I think we all have things we have done that we are not proud of. I am no different from anyone else in the world. I'm thankful that I have picked up a habit of writing to let that shame out instead of  holding on to it. As Lauryn Hill says,"You gotta find your peace of mind." I found mine and I pray to God you find yours. Hope you enjoy reading this. God bless ya'll! Please leave your comments/feedback. Thanks

 Love ~ Taye

These Hands

My hands

Permanently stained

Once beautiful and brown

Now tainted

So I hide them ashamed

Water and soap can’t help

Tried so hard to use that to remove

The pain….or maybe as a cover

But the constant scrubbing

Only drives me insane…and still

After all that

The blood remains on those hands

Causing me to abstain from

Moving on in life

For the fear that I may touch

And stain somebody else

So I try to get high

As often as I can

From the ink of the pen

Thinking maybe this time

These hands might write

Some peace to cover the shame

These hands have caused.

"One 4 the Team"

"One 4 The Team"

How is it that the  person that 

knows your heart the best

Be the one to hurt it the most

As close as we are

I would think you would know  my desires

I made the team, but I never get to play

I feel like Lebron on the side lines

Truly capable of a championship

Yet…I’m benched

passed over again

and all I want is to see you…

us……win

All you gotta do

Is let me in

Sitting back watching you get hurt

Takes me from 0 to 10

Then again maybe it aint  time

But In due time

I know Your a baller in the game

So I won’t complain

I can only sit back and hope

To be a starter

On your team one day

My name is Taye....and I'm an Addict.....

Everybody has some sort of an addiction or another. Some drink, some smoke, over eat etc.  I had a moment to reflect and think about my own addictions. Outside of my Shoe addiction....lol I was inspired to write this poem, Leave your feed back and let me know about your addictions. Also, leave your feedback and comments on the poem below. Thanks for stopping by. God Bless ~Taye

"I'm an Addict"

I'm out of the delusional stage

No longer will I deny

My name is Taye and I

Am an addict...

Tonight as I here in my bed and cry

I realized I would give up

All I have for a small dose

Of what most take for granted

Some Love...

But not the kind you see on TV

The kind they sing about in those old song

You what made a man like Lenny breakdown

The kind that got Teddy P Inspired about

No doubt I'm an addict cause

at this Moment still trying to fund a way to get it

You would think the pain

From love in the past would make me forget it

But like a fiend without his heroine .....

I'm sick.....

Love is truly an influence

It's clear I can live without....

So I don't want to get clean...

Forever a love fiend ......

Inspired By..... Donald Goines

Love?.......or is this just a crush?......

I was asked, " Do you believe in Love at first sight?" I didn't know how to respond then. I took a moment and thought about it. After a while, I was able to come up with this for an answer. Let me know what you think. Leave you answer to the question. do you believe in love at first sight. Thanks for reading God bless. ~Taye


Sparked an interest at first glance
Stole my heart with your first words
Not even sure what I heard you say
Just wanted you to keep talking
Stumbling.....
Trying not to let my discombobulated
Mannerisms show
Can't help but let my thoughts
Shift to
What you like to do?......
How deep are you?.....
And what kinda music do you listen to?...
Now I'm just fishin
Still not paying attention
Engulfed in those eyes....
Them I realize
We have no ties
Your just saying
My shoe is untied...
Dang......
