Judgement Day- by Dolisha DeVonne

Coming to You as the woman I am,

With nothing in return, no money in my hand,

The word GUILTY written on my face,

And no sweet lies to plead my case,

Where I know whatever my sentence, will be set in stone,

And no lawyer or public defender could try a case this strong,

The jury, a band of angels, secret spies that knew my every move,

And every word, I ever said, got right back to you,

I watch in silence as You recall the events of my life and all my days,

My struggles, my victories, my rock-bottoms, and claims,

Now facing judgement, I’ve never been so afraid,

Terrified of hell fire, that may or may not come my way,

Being more hell bound, yet still yearning for grace,

In front of you I am motionless,

My verdict, I’m not sure I can face,

And after reminding me what You say is Final,

You allow me to step to You, face to face,

And after witnessing such glory, what on earth could I possibly say?

What If- By Dolisha DeVonne

Never been the best at lucid expression,

So, I’ve developed this writing obsession,

Hoping you understand the love within,

The cursive strokes of my pen,

 

Yet I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t know,

In face to face encounters, I’d never show,

Hiding, because I’ve never dare told,

These hidden gems of my soul,

 

But I wish I were Bold.

Confident.

Sure.

I’d wish for one moment,

 

A one-on-one to explore.

No more hiding behind rhythmic lines,

No poetic jive,

No unintelligible babble, of nothing that matters.

 

But to say and be real,

In all sincerity how I feel,

And not one word will I forget,

And when I’m done, no regrets.

 

But I’ve been terrible from the start,

In separating my mind from my heart,

The only thing that would make me remotely brave,

Was if you agreed to meet me half way,

 

Until then, you’ll be stuck reading between mysterious lines,

And the concealed emotions I work so hard to hide,

Will leave us both wondering what was ever true,

And if you could’ve ever been feeling me too?

TWO HEARTS, ONE LOVE- DOLISHA DEVONNE

TWO HEARTS YOU HAVE IN ONE,
BOTH OF US FEEL THE SAME,
ONE YOU LOVE DEARLY,
THE OTHER COULD BE IN VAIN.

BUT STILL IT’S NO THANG,
FOR YOU TO BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH,
EMOTIONS GOT YOU CONFLICTED,
BUT NOT ENOUGH TO IGNORE US,

BOTH US WOMEN,
WITH SMILES THAT LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE,
YOU LOVE US BOTH FOR DIFFERENT REASONS,
BUT WE CAUSE YOU TO FIGHT.

THE MOST INTERNAL BATTLE,
WITH CONSCIOUS TO HEART CONVERSATIONS,
YOU TELL YOURSELF TO CHOOSE ONLY ONE,
BUT IT’S TOO MUCH FOR YOUR HEART TO FACE IT,

YOU KNOW IT’S NOT FAIR,
TO THINK YOU CAN SHARE,
BUT THE LOVE FROM US TO YOU,
PROVES TOO DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO CHOOSE,

AND HOW CAN ONE FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY,
WHEN TELLING SOMEONE ELSE YOU NEED TO WALK AWAY?
TO GIVE BACK THE HEART SHE PLACED IN YOUR HAND,
WITH MERE HOPES THAT ONE DAY SHE WILL UNDERSTAND,

BUT IN THE END, YOU’LL STILL BE BROKEN,
A PIECE OF YOUR HEART, SHE’LL STILL HAVE A TOKEN,
BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN SAY, YOU FINALLY MADE A DECISION,
OR WILL SHE BE WHAT YOUR HEART WAS MISSING?

Like No Other- By Dolisha DeVonne

THE KISSES YOU GIVE TAKE MY BREATHE AWAY IN AN INSTANT,

EVEN WHEN YOU’RE AWAY, YOUR LOVE TRAVELS LONG DISTANCE,

YOUR TOUCH MAKES ME SHIVER, LIKE ICE ON ARTIC GROUND,

YOUR VOICE COMFORTS ME, LIKE A LULLABY TO A CHILD.

 

THE WAY WE MAKE LOVE COULD PUT CASANOVA TO SHAME,

CAUSE EVEN HE COULDN’T FULFILL THE PASSION WE CONTAIN,

LIKE A DRUG I FEEL THE HIGH, LIKE I CAN TOUCH THE CLOUDS,

EVEN NASA COULDN’T BUILD A ROCKET STRONG ENOUGH TO BRING ME DOWN.

 

WHOEVER SAYS THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS PERFECTION, MUST NOT KNOW YOU WELL

FROM THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD TO THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET,

FROM THE SWAY IN YOUR WALK, OR THE WAY THAT YOU SPEAK,

HAS ENOUGH LIGHT TO SET MY SOUL ON FIRE,

AND PLENTY OF POWER TO LIFT ME HIGHER,

HIGHER THAN I’VE EVER BEEN, MAYBE BEYOND,

THIS IS WHAT IT MUST FEEL LIKE TO BE IN LOVE.
