My babe's Kitchen my view

I was heading home from the market
to make a meal for myself
maybe some beans or fried eggs...
but then my babe called me on the way
he said he couldn't dream of eating anything else
but something that i had specially made...

so i poured out some rice on a plate,
and took out the chicekn that i had saved
for day like today.

i poured some water into a pot,
and picked the rice while it boiled
fried some onions in another pot,
and added the curry that he so loves.

he will eat this food with his heart,
because no one can cook like i can.

rice in the pot starts to rise...
chicken in the other coming to a boil...

then i hear a noise.
someone coming in through the back door
my babe he has arrived

and i didn't even get time to run some water in the bath,
so i could get cleaned up!
but i know it will be alright
he will still love me
even with sweat trickling down my breasts

sleep

would it be too much to ask,
that just once hwen i get into bed,
i would fall asleep,
the moment i put my head on the pilow?

would it be too much to ask,
that sleep would meet with me,
the moment i closed my eyes?

its frustrating sometimes,
lying for up to hours o end
trying to coax you to join me in bed.

so please come join me once in a while,
the moment i come to bed.

At last By Etta James

At last, my love has come along!
My lonely days are over,
And life is like a song.
Oh, yeah!

At last,
The skies above are blue.
My heart was wrapped up in clovers.
The night I looked at you.

I found a dream that I could speak to,
A dream that I can call my own,
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to,
A thrill that I have never known.

Oh, yeah,when you smile, you smile,
Oh, and then the spell was cast.
And here we are in heaven.
For you are mine.
At last.

butterflies

I have this feeling somewhere in my gut,
Like something bad is about to happen.

There is some filling in my chest,
That breathing in and out just insn't able to fix

It feels like a swelling,
like a paperbag filled with water,
like a ballon filled with air,
and i can't seem to be able to do anything about it.

Pet Tribute

Its a little slow, and it seems like it might snow,
But i will have to leave the house,
I have to get on with my day.

I have tears streaming down my face,
As i make it to the door.
And its all because he made me do this alone.

He left me all alone in the house,
So he wouldn't have to watch me weep all morning.
He said he couldn't come along,
That he didn't want to be involved at all.

I head for the clinic along that dusty road,
Get inside and fill out the form.

I sit on the blue forms,
Holding my head so it doesn't fall off.

I imagine what they will do,
I even imagine what tools they might use.

Then she calls out my name,and i suddenly feel so ashamed,
For being so stupid,for believing what he had said.
He had promised to be there with me,
He had promised to hold my hand through it.

I walk into the back room,to where my cat is,
and i notice my hands tremble as she hands me her tag!

My cat is two, and she has cancer,
So the vet said that they had to put her down,
Because she was in so much pain she couldn't even swallow one morsel of food.

And he just couldn't come along with me.

Angry woman's mind

If i let you speak, i will just loose my head,
But i think there is alot that needs to be said,
I will try to be quiet just for one sec',
So you can get a chance to have your say.

But before i let you speak let me just say,
That you had better know what not to say.

Don't tell me about your day,that will just get me more upset.
Don't tell me about that jav,that left your car with a dent.
Don't tell about that day,when we made out in the rain.
Don't even start with anything that your mother said!

I am really upset, so please just know what to say.

Tell me you're sorry that you want me to stay.
Tell me you want me and not that stupid stray.
Tell me you love and beg me to stay.

Beg me to forgive you and promise that i wil stay...

why did you say what you said!

I am awake in my bed,thinking about what you said,
Trying to figure out how it is that i messed!

I said i loved you,
Is it because of what i said?

I slept beside you,
Is it because i refused to make the bed?

I made breakfast for you,
Is it beacuse you don't like boiled eggs?

I got all dressed up to go out with you,
Is it because of that skimpy dress?

I am awake in my bed,because a wink of sleep i can't get,
Not until i know why you said what you said.

you said that she left you,
was it really that bad?

you said it was dead too,
what was it that you meant?

speculations

if i ran a mile to get to you,
if i wrote a rhyme to thrill you,
if i made time to hang out with you,

would i be worthy to you?

if i lent a hand when you said to,
if i said a lie to protect you,
if i held your hand while you strayed too,

would i be better suited to you?

if i gave my life to love you,
if i laid my head beside you,
if i gave up my time to sustain you,

would you still want me the way you do?

if i gave up my body to bear for you,
if i gave up my beauty to submit to you,
if i lost me to gain you...

would it all be worthy too?
