No Images

By William Waring Cuney 1906–1976

She does not know

her beauty,

she thinks her brown body

has no glory.

If she could dance

naked

under palm trees

and see her image in the river,

she would know.

But there are no palm trees

on the street,

and dish water gives back

Selfish

Selfish Man

by: onelilartist (blog name)
He said he'd never met a heart

as tender as my own.

That I was what his soul had searched for

languishing alone.

His favorite word, "SOMEDAY", he'd use

quite often of OUR lives,

A fool am I who did not see

those selfish alibis.



He played me like an autoharp,

just strumming me along.

I thought he wanted honesty

and sang for him my song.

He used me like an old dish rag,

then tossed me to the side.

I loved the man I thought he was.

I feel my heart has died.



I guess I should have known it

since I've been this road before.

But never have I trusted one

with all the dreams I bore.

It couldn't hurt me more if I

had taken white hot lead.

The "sweetest heart" I ever knew

played mind games in my head.



I think that I must surely be

the dumbest thing alive,

But I am strong and quick and tough.

I know I will survive.

It's just that now when I awake

There's no song in my heart.

Had I but known 'twould end like this,

I'd never made the start.



Oh, silly me, why should I think

That he would treat me best?

He lives with wife of many years.

Is she loved more? Nay, less.

I've fallen for the oldest lie

since God proclaimed it sin.

Adultery is theft of love,

with one more Selfish Man.

10 year plan

I plan to go to a four year college majoring in psychology and culinary arts along with an associate’s degree in accounting.

 

With my degrees, I want to open up my own restaurant along with practice to serve and satisfy people mentally and physically.

 

 

I plan to travel, so I can gain ideas to what type of people I want to specialize in, and food I want to sell

 

By the time I start making my money, I would have my own place and start dating

 

Get married and have my twin boys

 (They take from my side of the family)

Report

Mary 'Honey B' Morrison, born September seventeenth in the year 1964, Aurora, Illinois. Mary's family moved to New Orleans, La., when she was 1 year old. She graduated from McDonough #35 Senior High School of New Orleans in 1982 and later received an Associates Degree from Vista (now Berkeley) Community College, Berkeley, Ca. Also, divorced from a marriage that lasted more than a decade having son, Jesse Byrd, Jr., nearby playing basketball at the University of San Francisco. Miss Morrison, before she resigned laid the four month foundation writing and self-publishing her first novel, "Soulmates Dissipate" which quickly became an Essence National Best-seller. Today, Mary has also written a non-fiction self-help book entitled "Who's Making Love", a poetry book entitled "Justice - Just Us Just Me", and several fiction novels, "Never Again Once More", "He's Just a Friend"," Somebody's Gotta Be on Top", "When Somebody Loves You Back", "Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This" (released August 1, 2006), is co-authoring a novel with New York Times best-selling author, Carl Weber, and recently completed her first screenplay for "Soulmates Dissipate". Mary's novel, "Somebody's Gotta Be on Top", was the #1 National Best-sellers on Essence for both January and February 2005. No record on file about Mary 'Honey B' Morrison receiving any awards at this time but is credited for her newest release, If I can't have you, is apart of her seventeen already published novels, erotica and urban books. 'Honey B' is a woman with an imagination that can prove her success. Her details are so well articulated; you can read the page as if staring into a picture pop-up book. Although it took Honey B a couple years for her work to start, she was worth the wait, which made her one of my favorties among many of the famous urban and erotica authors.
