And she bowed her head down as if to pray. Soon appeared her pencil and writing pad. The lead angrily swept across the page as tears rolled down her face as she thought of the past, those lost, and obstacles conquered. She scribbled relentlessly until her fingers ached, her hand fell limp and her burdens had been emptied onto the many pages now covered in lead stains. She writes again.....

Feeling This Feeling


Lately I’ve been thinking about this thing we have
The way you make me smile and the way you make me laugh
I’ve rehearsed our happy moments in my mind a thousand times
I’ve reflected on how I’m crazy without you but when we’re
together all is fine
The world stops for a while and surrenders to you and I
And I know if we look closely there’s surely a ribbon in the
sky
Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
Mr. Wonder said it best
This is not a coincidence
And far more than a lucky chance
We’ve both said it’s too good to be true
Could it really be that you were made for me and I for you
Could it be that this is a sweet dream I’m dreaming
If so, please just leave me sleeping
I don’t want to wake and not find you next to me
I rather sleep and have this dream as my reality
Sometimes I can be selfish, temperamental, and a little impatient
Calling me difficult or hard to handle would be an
understatement
But despite it all you stick around and love me at my worst
You’ve showed your dedication and I want to see this
relationship run a full course
Because you deserve to see me at my best
I want to give you my all, my everything, and nothing less
Sometimes I’m so overwhelmed with emotions I confuse myself
So I call you and spill the beans till there’s nothing else left
I put it all out on the table, all the emotions I’ve been
feeling
And I look to you for a mental healing
Calm me down, mellow me out
While you continue to show me what real love is all about
It’s scary knowing that I’m falling for you and making
myself vulnerable
It’s scary knowing that I’ve become so susceptible
To being loved and giving love to one man, my African King
The man who adores me and calls me his African Queen
And I love that you always treat me as such
And when you say how much you miss me you always say thissss
much
As you stretch your arms and legs as wide as they will
extend
Stretch them far and straight with no bows or bends
I love the way we speak to each other using nothing but our
eyes
I love the way you stare at me as if you were hypnotized
Or captivated by the sight of me you have just seen
I don’t know about you but I like what I see
I see a strong black educated man who shares the same goals
as I
He supports my dreams and even told me he believed I could
fly
If I put my mind to it
With him I know I can do it
This feeling I’m feeling is different and I don’t know how
to cope
You’re my man, my addiction, my perfect and legal dope
I find myself wondering “what did you do to me?”
I locked my heart but you’ve somehow found the key
To unlock my heart and let love in
This thing with you could be a serious win
This is a first and it’s an awkward feeling
But I’m feeling this feeling
It’s you I fiend
It’s I whom you complete
What we have is genuine
And nothing can defeat
I’ll willing to gamble on this dealing
Because right now I’m really feeling this feeling.
