Transform me into who I long to be.Turn the dark circles into beams of light.Make my flaws invisible.Even if only for one night. Stretch my skin.Color me in with shades,Of beauty in a bottle.Give my eyes a new shape.If only but for a moment. Under the cloak of darkness remove my veil.Wait, let me keep…

Give Me That Kind Of Love
I want the kind of love that makes you want to write home to mom. Call daddy up and tell him you see the light kind of love. That tight kind of love. That will only fit cause it’s the right kind of love. Give me that. I’ll never leave you, gonna fight kind of…
You’re My Worst Addiction
You’re my worst addiction, Hour upon hour of consuming you. This action isn’t fiction, I can’t hide from you. It’s pointless to even try. I can’t get free from you. For in the midnight hour, you come find me too. There’s no denying you, Just gonna tell the truth, I’m stuck like glue.

Pushing past all your hangups and past relationships that went wrong. Simply open your eyes and see God’s promise come…
You Lied; The End.
Empty hopes of tomorrow is what you gave me. I thought you were the one who would not fade me. Yet my love for you grows bleaker by the day. This is one game I thought I would never have to play. (Again) Caught up in the emotions of thinking how I know you. Not…
The First Dance…
Staring at you for hours on end, Formulating my thoughts and planning how to get in. Holding my breath waiting for your response. You took the morsel I dangled and then it was on. Rushing right in, because of course, I’m that bird. Feeding off the essence of your presence inhaling your every word. The…
Mr. Charming
Mr. Charming… You captured my attention with simple words yet profound; Your creativity the match that sparked an ember in my essence banked long ago–lying waiting; I’m caught up in your swag, mesmerized by your intelligence and captivated by the rough neck charm peaking at me while my back is up against the wall. I’m…
Hellbound
Hellbound ©Tilquainta Lavale Cox When I was hellbound and in turmoil, you looked down on me and felt compassion. You saw past the ugliness in my life, you looked to my heart and saw my real passions. You saw all the scars–the faded bruises- the pain that kept me chained. You relied on your foreknowledge…
