HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE BABZ...PART 2

Yesterday was an AMAZING DAY! As my beautiful nephew Trent loves to say when things are going well...It's the best day ever! It sure was. Anyway as promised here are more of the beautifully written poems for my birthday. They are breath-taking! I have been back to yesterday's post a million times already, reading and re-reading the post and comments!

The Love I Know
By Xavier

Across the blogosphere
Recognition sought to introduce us
Like two old friends reunited
In that moment I perceived
Synchronicity's stamp
Etched on everything about us
Despite your doubts you stepped up
All I had to do was call
And daily you are the one
Giving me gifts
But today is different
In a special way
I want to acknowledge publicly
Exactly what you mean to me
Love is the hallmark of so much
That passes between us
Time, words, thoughts
Our common struggles
And even the way we have mated
Few can possibly understand my passion
Much less absorb it
You've actually held it in your hands
Recognized it for what it is
For that, you are forever special to me

Happy Birthday
From my soul to yours

I love you.

love
By Don, Minus the Bars

love
the most beautiful feeling
ever known
ever shown, by another human being
it left me feeling how the world
would be
could be
should we ever commit ourselves
to love

speak
By Don, Minus the Bars

i can hear it in your voice
your words serve as living proof of mainfested truth
no one can deny the course of righteousness
no matter what they do
if the truth is in you
it's in you
a person can lie about your words
shy away from that which is being heard
the truth will forever reach
all you have to do is take a deep breath
hold your head high
speak.

By Torrance Stephens

the blessed birth of a queen
dressed you the dream
and birthed smiles into the air

the earth of your mother
is the mother in you
woman that life lives freely
as such is expressed in your divinity

She
By Shai Lynn Davis

She is
A soul seeking
Total fulfillment
Unashamed
Showing
Her vulnerable
Self

She is
Love
Spreading
Sharing
It with anyone
In her presence

She is
An artist
Fashioning
Words
Effortlessly

She is
Woman
Feminine
Strong
Giver of
Life

She is
Parent
Beyond
Her womb
Raising warriors

She is
Insightful
Seeing below
The surface
Realizing the
Truth

She is
The epitome
Of the glory
God wants us
To see

Don said...

Hope you are still enjoying your bday celebration and I am happy that you enjoyed the poems.

Don said...

i am sorry the "never" should be "ever shown, by another human being."

Babz Rawls Ivy said...

Xavier,
OH cut it out! (smile)

Rich,
What? I am on my way over. I liked what you posted the first time it was witty and way cool!

Don,

Babz Rawls Ivy said...

Flutter,
Sister, we are going to have a funky good time at Blogher! I will be the Chick holding court at the bar!

Shai said...

Lovebabz, may I borrow this? I think it was an awesome idea. You get to print them out and bind them together for memories.

Babz Rawls Ivy said...

Shai,
Absolutely you can take this and run with it! I am planning to bind them into a book. Not for sale, but for my own collection. I may bind several and give them as gifts.
