Pittsburgh in a day!

Magnolia's

I have this love for Magnolia Trees.

I’m not sure when I fell in love with them…But if you think about the flowers that the tree blooms, you can reflect on your entire life. Or I can reflect on my entire life..

A tree with flowers that bloom every Spring and Summer like clock work. Have you ever seen a dead or diseased Magnolia Tree? Most of us can say No.

Each tree has at least a hundred of these beautiful white flowers. With leafs that are thick and soft to the touch. Just looking at them, makes you want to savor the moment you locked eyes on this lovely flower. It takes your breathe away and gives you life all at the same time.

As I reflect on my life, a magnolia flower is what I am.

Every year brings a new Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Every season brings a new storm and just like a magnolia flower I return. Still beautiful, still strong, still kind, STILL STANDING!

A "Do Over"?

Why must he play this game?

Why can’t he be real at all time and say what needs to be said? Damn, doesn’t she deserve that much? Can she get at least that much?

All she wants to do is be in his arms when she opens her eyes in the morning. When she sits at a desk reminiscing about the time they spent together; she cries knowing that will never happen again. Can love be this hard, this strange, this deep or this hurtful? Is it supposed to be? I don’t think so…

Why when she wants to know more he can not give her what she wants?

Can you really love her? Does he really love her?

Is it safe to say that you want your cake and eat it too?

Why can’t this girl walk away?

When you meet someone and all seems to be perfect, question it always. You might get your heart covered with a cute T-Shirt and ripped (like Hawk Hogan) right after.

He says he loves her but can not give her his all. He says he wants to be with her but never seems to take that extra step. She stays with him for a bit; thinking the love they seem to share would make him hers. Well, ladies we all know where this goes. He tells her that he is going to work it out at home.

But wait…

She thinks they can be friends. Yes I said it! She thinks they can still be friends with that love between them. Needless to say she became a different person for him. She became a side piece, a mistress. Why? Shit I don’t know. She says the love was right, the kiss made her insides burn, his touch made her shiver just a bit (kinda like when it's just a tad-bit cold and you’re starting to get goose bumps). That’s the love that made her do things she would never do. Like love him even when she was not supposed too. Breaking all the woman codes.

So, I ask what any other female would do when reading this story. Would you think less of the female in the story or embrace her because her heart loved him so?

Would you allow him time and space a "Do Over" in a sense?

Not sure if a “Do over” is warranted.

You Take Care.....

I love this song... He knows why I have been listening to this over and over again. It has been on repeat for days now.

Pharagraphs of Love
Ghostface Ft. Estelle and Vaughn Anthony

Her face glow like I was exposed to sunlight
She's happy, her hair, toes and nails is done right
The smell of her fragrance, baffled my nostrils
I can see through her eyes, she's feeding on in the possible

She blushes, as I kept splashing her compliments
Polite thank yous, is all around, she crush the mints
Developments, smooth keys from the piano
Changed the mood, like we changed the channel

This is art, Picasso, I got him beat in the flesh
I'm staring at beauty, Nefertiti, heaven bone in the chest
Yes, everywhere she step, went off like a flare gun
Stilettos on, parquet floors

Miss thing, she's a fierce one, two and three
Bad little mama, she built like Alicia Keys
No facade, her strut is hard, based on books by
Intelligent jail crooks, writing to let the time fly

She dropped the bracelet, I kneeled down
Prestigious gentleman, with my right hand, I picked it up
I stood up, to the cutest eyelashes, as I gave her, her jewels back
Miss thing started rubbing her gut

Excuse me, are you pregnant? Not to be rude
But if it means anything, I can get you some food
Cheese crackers, in the back there's sauteed shrimp
(Estelle)Nah, I'm only three months, I'll be as big as a blimp

See my due date is January, my first, and it's kinda scary
It's only June, and Christmas, I'll be getting married
And I'm happy, excuse me, what's your name?
Tone Starks,Peace, I'm Gabby

Well I gotta go, my husband is waiting
But before you go, can I give you one last statement
You the most beautifullest queen, I ever seen
And I would love to have a thing like you, on my team,you take care

Any other day, I would of just let you, pass me by
Cuz I see you got situations
And I've got mine, but baby its OK
It's alright, I'm not gonna let you pass me by
Cuz this was love at first sight
Cuz this was love at first sight
It's OK

You can tell he must be on a mission
Because my heart has made it's decision
As soon as you stepped in my peripheral vision
I fell in love, sweet love
And no infatuated 3D glasses to see
That your the one I need
And the situation don't matter to me
Cuz this is love, it gotta be love
Love at first sight

Any other day, I would of just let you, pass me by
Cuz I see you got situations
And I've got mine, but baby its OK
It's alright, I'm not gonna let you pass me by
Cuz this was love at first sight
Cuz this was love at first sight
It's OK

Any other day, I would of just let you, pass me by
Cuz I see you got situations
And I've got mine, but baby its OK
It's alright, I'm not gonna let you pass me by
Cuz this was love at first sight
Cuz this was love at first sight
It's OK
