The War

  

I was assigned the mission to find love but it seems that love has found me first

Now I have my guards up surrounding the walls and the door that protect my injured heart but love refuses to stand down

Love is searching for the key to my heart but I’m scared to give it up

Love said I’m here to save you just take my hand & I’ll take care of you

but how can I trust Love when love is the reason for the scares on my heart?

I thought I was ready for love ready to accept all that it has to offer

Thought I was ready to embrace love with open arms but my arms won’t unfold

My mind keeps saying don’t please don’t this don’t you remember what happen the last time love was here?

Fear has me paralyzed I want to open the door to my heart and hand over the key but fear is holding me back

Mean while my heart is crying to be let out but I just ignore the cries

For help and continue the fight to keep love out

I want this war to be over I want to surrender to love

I wanna make things right but my mind keeps saying

don’t play the fool

Love don’t love nobody

Don’t play the broken hearted girl

How is it that I’m so afraid of losing love but even more afraid to love again?

So here I am stuck with the decision that will end the war

Do I trust my mind ? Or my heart?

Which will lead me to the true happiness I desire?

I don’t want make the mistake of putting my mind in my hearts position

I’ve learned that love isn’t for the weak hearted you gotta be strong to fight this war

But a decision still has to be made

Because this war has to end

To free my heart from these heavy chains so that it may love again

Cupid is calling patiently waiting to make his move

In the end the door was opened and I chose to surrender to love

I guess it’s true Love does conquer all

Let the Journey Begin

He came into my life and took me by surprise I was in the middle of getting rid all of my baggage 
Fed up with men and their selfish inconsiderate ways I was starting to actually believe all men
Were the same but then he said hello
Went out his way to give me hug just to put a smile on my face
And I thought to myself this guy is different 
Hope he lasts longer than a week 
As the days went by we began to get to know each other 
Through deep conversation I wasn’t sure if I should put my guard
Down at first but he made me feel so comfortable in his presence
That I allowed him to see the real me 
Usually I always find something wrong with a guy that makes me
Say NEXT lol!!! But there’s something about him that 
Captivates me maybe it’s his intriguing light brown sugar eyes
his smile that shines on me like the sun brighten up my rainy days
could it be the way he warmly embraces my body making me feel safe in his arms
or maybe it’s the way he kisses me softly but with passion his kisses are so sweet I can’t get enough 
his touch sends chills down my spine 
his voice has a calming effect on me and his country accent is so cute 
Yesss I’ve found my southern gentlemen I was starting to think they were extinct
But what really caught my attention is how he treats me 
He doesn’t disrespect me or my body, he listens and supports me, comforts me when I’m worried, doesn’t pressure me and that’s the way it should be…
He treats me how a lady should be treated and we are only friends I can only imagine what it would be like to be his woman better yet his Queen
But I don’t want to move to fast think we should continue to take it slow
After all we’re just ordinary people we don’t know which way to go
I just hope we are able to figure it out along the journey and we find our way to Loversland
I’m glad I didn’t judge this book by its cover because I would have missed out on the amazing story that’s going to unfold…
