REFLECTIVE BEAUTY
Feeling my lips and eyes so gently with your fingertips;
As we stand together robe less, in front of the full-length mirror;
"Looks like I've gained a few inches on my hips."
I entered another beauty pageant (for the 10th time this month).
The judges can't seem to pick a winner.
I would appreciate, their at least, giving us a hunch.
Kissing me passionately from head to toe (like only you would do);
"Please, don't ever go!"
Our hands read the story, of what our eyes can't reveal.
We bot… Continue

THINK ABOUT IT!
Thoughts precede emotions.
Actions follow thoughts.
Emotions times actions divided by thoughts equal consequences.
E (x) A --- Divided by T = CONSEQUENCES
___________________________
Mental deliberation is the nucleus of success.
Destruction or failure;
What you think or what you say will materialize if you shall believe.
Convincing one's self to reap life's chosen harvest;
Extracted from the virtual garden of self-realization;
Tread cautiously for the snakes are lurking.

YOU CRACK ME UP!
Broken promises, shattered dreams;
Swiftly exhaled into life's atmosphere;
Non-existent 'pipe dreams' with spiraling pleasures;
At a cost that does not even matter;
'Blow baby blow, let's rock some more!'
Screened reality filtered for grand effects;
What's in it for you anyway?
Homo sapiens' evolution just progressing to the next anthropological phase;
So what're you gonna do?
Toe tags and Big Ed (on C-Block) just waitin' for you;
Cursed life damned from conception (not once but twice… Continue

M.A.N.I.C.
Managing to fake it through yet another day
Always anticipating the how when or where
Never knowing what to do when the turmoil starts to flair
Into the deep cortex of my mind
Cursing each moment my sanity is not completely there

FROM W.O.W. TO H.O.W. {Women of War to Heroines of War} Dedicated to: Shoshana Johnson and Jessica Lynch
Don't blame me, if I can't love the way that I use to.
Don't blame me, if I sleep with my eyes wide-open as if watching you.
Don't blame me, if I only wanted to serve my country (I thought it was the PATRIOTIC thing to do).
Don't blame me, if I'm paranoid as HELL.
You know that they tortured me, in that 4 by 5 cell.
Do be patient with me and constantly remind me that I'M FREE!
Do shower me with tons of empathy.
Do be thankful, that I wasn't another fatality (of this God-forsaken war).

- Hi there. I'm fairly new to this site. I'm loving the community here, so I want to contribute to everyone this article I read that really changed my life financially. Last week I got a check for $900! Really, no joke, I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I did. And it really helped me out my family financially because i'm a stay at home mom. But here's the article I read: www.news4show.com/finance/google-hiring-you.htmlhopefully it works out for you too. Good luck and God bless!
