Book preview

After the Storm | Kali Uchis

I know your past was a storm

and your brain still rains the pain

from those eyes

but let be me the calm after the hurricane

I’ll bring warmth to your cold world

with my arms wrapped around you

The weather will change

to brighter days you’ll finally see that

Silver lining you were praying for

When the clouds were too dark

Falling in Love Again| Marvin Gaye

I must admit

thoughts of you been swimming

through my mental

drowning in the clouds

of memories I’ve shared with you

I adore you from the core of my aorta

water can't control you

as you surf across the ocean’s border

Never seen perfection

‘til the day you smiled

once a listless life

you came and made it shine

bright like the skyline

past five in the morning girl I pray to

the most high every night

that you'll be mine

But as of now we are

the best of friends

and that is how it will

end or begin

I hope we take the ladder

up to the sky's matter

past the stars and create magic

here's my love babe

You can have it

Diamonds and Pearls | Prince

The desire to be someone’s everything

creates thoughts of doubt

when you find yourself

alone many nights

You wonder why?

"Why doesn’t this person want me?

Am I not good enough?

What’s wrong with me?

You’re a pearl

But they don’t appreciate your value

by wasting your time

But remember, it takes a special lover to

appreciate the complexity and rarity of you.

Everyone isn’t mentally rich enough

To pay attention to your precious love.

GreatDaynMornin/Booty D’Angelo

A waterfall down your eyes

Because you feel less than loved

But baby that’s what you are

You are whole on your own

strong and graceful

So dry that waterfall

From those weary eyes

Your vision is cloudy

See the light

See it clear

Love is you

Stand Still | Sabrina Claudio

Goodnight love

I hope you dream well, in peace

You deserve to rest easy

Those sheets are blessed

because they get to cuddle you

instead of
