I love you, my darling,
and you know it's true
I thank God in Heaven
for someone like you.
I never knew how empty
my life really could be
But this is what I lived
before He gave you to me.
Whole is my life
for you are here now
To continue without you
I do not know how.
So be with me forever
my heart needs your stay
'Twould stop its rhythm
if you ever went away.
I know this love
for you will last
You are my future,
my now, my past.

This one I share with you in honor of my man:
Refusal
My DARLING
Beloved,
In what other lives or lands
Have I known your lips
Your Hands
Your Laughter brave
Irreverent.
Those sweet excesses that
I do adore.
What surety is there
That we will meet again,
On other worlds some
Future time undated.
I defy my body's haste.
Without the promise
Of one more sweet encounter
I will not deign to die

To My Countrymen:
You have so much talent and so many gifts.
And you are always busy doing something creative and worthwhile
Yet you give yourself so little credit, refusing to accept yourself for what you are ... A MARVEL!
So I'll just say it for you....
"You are a very talented, very gifted, absolutely amazing person."
PROUDLY I SALUTE YOU ALL ... MABUHAY TAYONG LAHAT!

Still I Rise

I'm a relatively recent devotee of Maya Angelou's poetry--I'd been marginally aware of her for years, of course, but I heard Still I Rise and my interest was piqued. I knew I had to know more of this incredible artist.
Still I Rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
PS...
 This POEM is JUST LIKE ME
