The LOVE

15 Tuesday Jan 2013

love with hearts
Love, baby the love

That’s what keeps us
Here longer than we should be
Ever near much stronger than it would be

Love, baby the love
Only love can make us all we could be
Void us out sometimes we ponder, should we?
Each annoyed can we break up? We ask how could we?

…And even if we did, how would we
Not get back together?
In our hub it’s crazy enough
But we weather through whatever
Because of the love, baby the love

“Sweet Words”

18 Monday Jun 2012

I gaze at you and the stars
I wonder why they don’t compare
You shine brighter than they are
You make me need you more than air

I breathe you in
Exhale you out
Receive you when
The rose buds sprout

All at once I softly sigh
You smiled again and caught my eye
Silly me what could I do?
I found sweet words and wrote a few

“The Unconditional Condition”

07 Thursday Jun 2012

Tags

@paulamunos, Blog, Facebook, Love, Maya Angelou, Relationships, Romance, Tony Haynes, Twitter, Unconditional love, Writing

Sometimes you make me smile unconditionally
At times I cry when I think about what you do to me
The condition you leave me in
How you grieve me when
You have to go
It’s as if you’re conditioning me
To retrieve me in
Your afterglow
Is there something I have to know?
Have I nothing to worry over?
Or am I right tonight to have suspicion?
By daylight if you don’t hurry over
Must I discard my condition?
And allow you to flee you and me
Unconditionally

Note from Tony Haynes: ”Whitney Houston was like an angel to me. Here is a poem I wrote for her a few years ago as a tribute, using her name.”

W as it the way I
H eld you?
I t had to be
T he way I pulled you
N ext to me
E xpectedly …
Y ou melted

H eaven felt it
O ur worlds connected
U nited, combined & resurrected
S uddenly
T here was an angel in my life
O ne I could find myself forever kissing
N ow the only question left for me to ask is …

… Does heaven know you’re missing?

Intelligent Life

10 Friday Feb 2012

Tags

Acrostic, Blog, Facebook, Maya Angelou, Poetry, Relationships, Romance, Tony Haynes, Twitter, Writing

Somewhere there is intelligent life
Undaunted by the daunting
Passionate, a perceptive
Experienced type
Really wanting what I’m wanting

Did I go there & why? I’m astounded
Until this very second I had been dumbfounded
Prepared to sail contaminated water
Earth prevailed, it moved
Removed & I got smarter

You unleashed my Intimate Qualities
Orchestrating through your genius, a bird’s eye view
Ultimately lifting my spirits…

…While raising my I.Q.

“Change Your Train of Thought”

30 Monday Jan 2012

Tags

Acrostic, Art, Blog, Facebook, Maya Angelou, Philosophy, Poetry, Romance, Tony Haynes, Writing

Decide to change your train of thought
Out of what is ordinarily Influential on a one-track-mind

It has kept you chugging down a line
Nine times out of nine
Contrarily conceived
Ride an out-of-the-box car
Emotionally loco-motive and not necessarily naive
Decide to change your train of thought
It is you – you are the conductor
But it is primarily believed
Life & death have made you a passenger in an
Environment that derails you from engine to caboose

To re-train how you treat your precious cargo
Here is where you turn you loose
In a perpetual
New perspective primarily perceived
Golden at all stations where higher consciousness is stored
So at the crossroads toward your destination …

… You’ll let body, mind & soul get on board

Fit It Into Your Schedule

21 Monday Nov 2011

Tags

Art, Blog, Facebook, Life, Love, Maya Angelou, Poetry, Romance, Tony Haynes


F
it it into your schedule
I would love
To feel your love

It has eluded me for some time now
This love

It is beneficial to me emotionally
Nothing would be as comprehensive
Than for me to appear as anything else
Other than mean & offensive

Your love
Offers integrity an added bonus
Under which it thrives
Reaping a harvest indelibly known as…

…Living with love in our lives

So fit me into your schedule
Caress me with
Hands that
Evoke my
Dreams of -
Undying
Luster
Emanating from…

…You going to extremes with your love
