Jonesin’

By Author D’Anne Speaks

Thought I had erased the memories of you
Yep knew I was over it…had move way past you
Boxed up the pictures I had of you
Shredded those naughty letters from you
Deleted text messages sent by you
So why the hell am I jonesin’?

Is it because I caught a glimpse of you?
Or drove by the last spot I visited with you
Maybe that my red sweater contains the scent of you
Is it that waiter dude who has the same name as you
Or the occasional racy dreams I have of you
What could have me jonesin’?

I mean you are just a human…just you
No superpowers…no magic…no god…simply you
There will be another who means more than you
One who will mean forever when he says it…unlike you
One whose actions will dispel all thought of you
Yeah, then he will have me jonesin’.

Your Voice….

by Author D’Anne Speaks

 

Your voice…

Encourages the hesitant,

Uplifts those grieving,

Strengthens the weakened,

Inspires the battle-weary,

Loves the heart-broken.

 

Your voice…

Commands attention,

Puts things in motion,

Makes circumstances surmountable,

Eliminates doubt,

Sets souls on fire.

 

Your voice…

Makes me warm and bubbly,

Puts a smile on my face,

Strokes my ego,

Sends my heart to racing,

Fills me with desire.

 

The only thing that could surpass

The power of your voice…

Your presence.
