In and Out of Time by Dr. Maya Angelou

The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance...
our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out of time.
When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I had always loved you more.
You freed your braids...
gave your hair to the breeze.
It hummed like a hive of honey bees.
I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there....
Mmmm...God how I love your hair.
You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.
Lost, injured, hurt by chance.
I screamed to the heavens....loudly screamed....
Trying to change our nightmares to dreams...
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out
in and out
in and out
of time.

Other Side Of The World by KT Tunstall

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like
the water,

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

Then the fire fades away
most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
Ohh.... the other side of the world
You're.... the other side of the world
To me.

Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still ...
unwritten.........

Treason by Abanna Cheshire

Love defies my rational mind.
My will is not my own.
This is love of another kind...
It's something I've never known.

Falling madly for you
Exacts an exquisite pain...
Wondering if this is true,
And waiting to touch you again.

A bittersweet concerto
Plays in my heart and head,
As heart stopping passion flows,
Mocked by my empty bed.

As this desire consumes me
Passion rapes my reason.
My heart ignores my head's plea,
And I surrender to my heart's treason.

Unfortunate By Abanna Cheshire

Do you know the heart and body knows
The touch of a friend from that of a lover?
The pain comes when you are one,
And longing to be the other.

The Caregiver's Condition by Abanna Cheshire

Sharp, sarcastic, wry and witty. 

These are the words they use to describe me. 

Brave, quick, bold and outspoken, 

I’m a caregiver for whomever is broken.

I love making others laugh and smile. 

For strangers, I’m known to get the extra mile. 

For my friends, I’ll do everything it takes 

To heal them when I see their hearts break.

But some days life won’t let me be happy, 

And I’m eaten alive by stress and anxiety. 

Don’t get impatient when I come undone. 

We all know that life’s not always fun.

There are days when I fall apart. 

Sometimes life seems to crush my heart. 

Where is everyone when those days come? 

As far as friends go, do I have even one?

At times my misery eats me alive. 

I barely hold on as I struggle and strive. I

’m sometimes overwhelmed with great depression. 

Those days come lately in rapid succession.

I try to play like I don’t really hurt, 

But today my back’s raw, 

I can’t give you my shirt. 

When you ask, "Hey, What’s this girl’s deal?" 

You should know my pain is deep and quite real.

Maybe I am feeling sorry for myself, 

But it’s hard when I’m not doing so well. 

At times I hurt, I cry and I bleed, 

And then all I want is a caregiver for me.

Crush - A Poem By Abanna Cheshire

Keeping you from seeing my eyes,
Thankful you can't hear my heart.
As i have quickly come to realize
I've been hit by cupid's dart.

I'm standing right in front of you
Waiting for you to see me
Given the chance we could be true
Lovers for our eternity.

Glances stolen across the room.
Can anyone else see me?
Hoping to feel your touch soon....
But waiting, and so it must be.

I know this is all one sided
Hope keeps me watching for signs
That in your heart I've abided
And you aren't totally blind.

So for now I close my eyes
Breathe deep and make a wish
That tomorrow I'll be by your side
Savoring the ecstasy of your kiss.
