Use Your Heart SWV
Alone
You and I intertwine
Refreshing
Conversation for the mind
As we stare
We both seek and hope to find
Real love
Purified
[CHORUS]
Use your heart and not your eyes
(Baby, just relax and ride)
If you got time then I got time
(Yeah, yeah)
Free your thoughts
And watch them fly
Use your heart and not your eyes
I sigh
As I watch you sleeping there (sleeping there)
So easily
I did things I’d never dare (never dare)
I say to myself
I’m glad that we share
Real love
Purified, oh
[CHORUS]
My goodness
How it seems like yesterday (yesterday)
She crushed you
Hurt you in the strongest way (strongest way)
You hurt so long
Reward come to those who cry
Real love
Purified
Just a second
I look at my watches dial
And you love me
pampered me like a child
As we lay
I close my eyes and I smile
At your real love
Purified
I’m with him…You’re just a friend
If you’re confused, I’ll say it again
Can’t split this pie so don’t even try
There’s only One for me
There’s only One for me
Fine as you are…he’s my star
All that money…don’t want your car
You’re a nice guy, but you’re wasting your time
U want to get twisted, go find yourself a Dime
He’s the Only One for me
He’s the Only One for me
My busy busy man…no he’s not around
But that don’t matter…it don’t change my sound
There’s only One for me
There’s only ONE for me
You used to love me without fear
You used to love me…now its tears
Don’t roll with the devil’s design
All mistakes, let’s put them behind.
Remember when our love was pure?
Never twisted…didn’t need a cure
Now you doubt me…it looks like rain
All my efforts..All in vain
I am you and you are me
Tell me why we’re fighting?
The enemy within
I know that I know that I know that I know
Your love is what makes me glow
I am you and you are me
Tell me again why we’re fighting?
Bad thoughts are creeping
Now we argue…we have to win
Yet all I came to do was love you
Tell me baby, what you want me to do.
I don’t want to fight no more…

My New Shade of Blue Honey Ray aka EB
My new shade of Blue
I’m transparent to you
Color me see through
When I’m wining
When I’m Red
When I’m Peach
All in my head
I shimmer honey gold and fleck
In your sunny disposition
Shimmer, shine, sparkle fine
I saturate in honey wine
While I reflect on you
My new shade of Blue
I look into your eyes
And breathe the sky
There is no limit
to the me in you
There is no border
There is no land
Time stands still
And rest descends
Perfect peace is mine
In this divine design
I Am conscious
All in the air
I am Love
Dwelling here
One Space by EB
The day was bright. The hood rolled by. The silence, the stillness, was a blessing. The seconds stretched into minutes. The moment was forever-still a resting place to me. Everything was right in that moment. The ease, the easiness. The nothingness, the one-ness, the sharing. Silently sharing one endless space in time.
Kissing A Fool by George Michael
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death
And from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you’ll never find
Peace of mind
Till you listen to your heart
People
You can never change the way the feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So bye
But please don’t take my heart
You are far
I’m never gonna be your star
I’ll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you’d love me too
You must have been kissing a fool
I said you must have been kissing a fool
But remember this
Every other kiss
That you’ll ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
Like I always do
There’s something there
That can’t compare with any other
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death
And from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you’d love me too
You must have been kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool
Sukiyaki by A Taste of Honey
It’s all because of you
I’m feeling sad and blue
You went away
Now my love is just a rainy day
I love you so
How much you’ll never know
You’ve gone away and left me lonely
Untouchable memories
Seemed to keep haunting me
Of love so true
That once turned all my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
I’m wishin’ you were here with me
Soft with love are my thoughts of you
Now that you’re gone
I don’t know what to do
If only you were here
You’d wash away my tears
The sun would shine
And once again you’ll be mine all mine
But in reality
Your love will never be
‘Cause you took your love away from me
Hoooo-ooooh-ooooh
[Instrumental Interlude]
If only you were here
You’d wash away my tears
The sun would shine
And once again you’ll be mine all mine
But in reality
Your love will never be
‘Cause you took your love away from me
Hoooo-ooooh, baby
You took your love away from me
You’re beautiful to me. You’re wonderful, you see?
It’s time for you to know, that I’ll alway’s love you so…
because you’re so beautiful to me. So glorious, in me.
I wanted you to know, so I had to tell you so.
You’re Glorious, to me.
Eyes they cannot see, inside of you, honey
Your Glorious, to me.
EB
Your smile, the Sun. I’m warm, I glow
The air, your breath. I breathe, I flow
Ease, Charity. Grace, Clarity
Love U, Love Me. Let’s Be
I am, you are. Let’s spark
My fire, you’re ice. Let’s try.
Our love, it spreads. We Fly.
Ummm….I am so-o-o anxious (Ginuwinely) to see TAKERS with T.I., Chris Brown, Paul Walker, Idris Elba, Michael Ealy, Jonathan Schaeck and Hayden Christiansen. I don’t care if plotline stinks, or the acting is off, or the direction sucks. T.I. and his production team has managed to include every imaginable piece of masculine eye candy available. This line-up alone makes this a DVD collectible to someone like me who doesn’t even collect DVD’s. They even have a couple of latina hotties for eye candy, Zoe Saldana and Zulay Henao, for my date who’s taking me to see “Takers”. Hey…I ain’t mad about it…
I am amazed at how easily certain people have babies. Baby after baby after baby. I come from a rather large family, there are five siblings and waves and waves of cousins. Both of my sisters have several children and one brother has many.
But, I never could really understand these little “accidents” that people talk about…I just don’t understand the phrase “it just happened” when someone describes a pregnancy. Abstinence is 100% effective birth control..I both proudly and sadly attest to that. The other forms of birth control, pills and chemicals and condoms and such are also greatly effective when used with care. So what’s with all these “accidents”? I know I’m controlling, uptight, and repressed, but really!!!
Recently, I was telling one of my siblings that it should be illegal for people to have babies before age 28 (or so) to give people time to get to know themselves and work out their kinks. She kindly and wisely advised me that I had skipped over the ‘normal’ childbearing years altogether. Obviously I’m on a completely different biological clock or schedule…I’m on geologic or biblical time or something. And yet…I always planned to have a large family…at least when I was a spacy teenager. At one point in marriage and family class in high school I discussed my desire to have 6 children with my handsome assigned husband, Mr. Strong. While he was blown back by my revelation, he was very quick and quite willing to acquiesce with my plans, and was ready to get down to business whenever and wherever I desired. Funny thing is, out of all the wonderful men I’ve met I have yet to come across the right one who incited my desire to take the plunge into procreation. I just can’t imagine bearing a child by someone that I might later come to dislike strongly. In other words…I just can’t be no baby mama. YUCK!!!!!!!!
I know I’m overly analytical about the whole thing. And at times I look around at all the women who seem to drop babies after babies effortlessly with men who stay and men who come and go with the wind…and I wish that I didn’t have to think at all. I wish that I could just let instinct take over and jump the right guy and drop the bundle of joy. Then I am always drawn back to Proverbs 3: 5 “Trust in the Lord and lean not into thine own understanding”.
Meanwhile…I’ve been blessed to care for three highly intelligent, incredible, mild mannered crumbsnatchers and I didn’t even have to go into labor once!!! Maybe I can still make my quota after all!!! Now I finally understand how children can be serendipitous little “accidents”.
Peer pressure is not enough to make me cave in to the social networking phenomenon. I refuse to participate in Twitter and Facebook, etc …at least not without wearing my mask. I just don’t see how you can put your face, photo’s and name all over Facebook so easily. It just makes me uneasy. You need protection, so use an avatar. But don’t get caught up in the hype. I am what I am. Anonymous me.
