Flowing Word Truths by Tonnette Collier, December 8, 2018 FLOWING WORD TRUTHS Dreams are to be lived Promises can be broken Real love makes the world go around So cry in laughter And smile in sorrow For nothing is greater than another tomorrow See the moon with closed eyes And feel the glistening sun Remember the past Rise forward with lunges and runs Begin new beginnings For many will come Chase rainbows And float on clouds Look to the hills Not crowds Forgive enemies Love every sweet angel Take charge of life Because… Amazingness is YOU Selflessness is YOU Incredibleness is YOU Written by Tonnette Collier May 18, 2018
The Poetry of I am ME by Tonnette Collier, December 8, 2018 THE POETRY OF I AM ME With stunning eyes, lips heartly shaped, a mind of thoughtful thoughts, I carry the gift to love always, be forever true. Embracing God’s beauty, I am me, completely gratified by who I am. To love my Author, to love His Son, to love you, to love me, to bestow acts of kindness on the world, I am me. Blessed with caramel layered, peanut butter smooth skin and hands to dispense gentle touches, I am me. Walking confidently with hips that royally gyrate from right to left, boldly expressing my African ancestry of queen sistahness. I am me, pleasingly profound. Peacefully shinning like a morning sun, I am me endlessly standing with warm smiles to brighten any pathway, illuminating through uncertainty and cheerfully reigning through trials. I am me. Godly, womanly ways with impeccable strengths serve as natural roots connecting my femininity, my style. And pure sweetness resonates from this heart, this soul. I am me. A wordsmith of intellectual expressions that derive from creative interpretations wooing one’s mind, I am me. Gestures of certainty solidifies my quest to motivate, to stimulate, to lift spirits, to mesmerize and to entice destinies soaring beyond ordinary, I am me. Bestowed upon this vessel are pillars of hope, pillars of wisdom, pillars of stewardship, I am me. Resting on God’s wings of love year after year, day by day because I am destined for heavenly ground, I will always be…I am me. Written by Tonnette Collier December 28-31, 2016
Colored Stars by Tonnette Collier, December 8, 2018 COLORED STARS On the shores I rest my eyes, as night skies look down on me. Colored stars are gleaming, speaking sweetly into the wind. Royal blue winked with a misty shine, it is I my sistah here to mesmerize your heart, mesmerize your mind. East of the little dipper stood emerald green all bold. It is I my sistah here to embrace your body and soul. Clutching the moon top, juicy masculine brown lips all tender and warm. It is I my sistah here blissfully puckered with a gentle kiss into the wild. Orange danced gracefully and radiantly laughed. It is I my sistah here to brighten your smile, make your eyes shine, spread light into your path. Deep into the corner, arched purple with tiny wings of silver, sprinkling pearly water on my soul. It is I my sistah protecting your inner peace like precious diamonds in gold. Arrows with ruby red flames captured the essence of my being. Saving my thoughts, loving my meaning. It is I my sistah your warrior, your guide. Pink sapphire gems rested on shells beneath and between my toes. You are ever so dazzling, so beautiful to behold. It is I my sistah, shadows in your waves. On the shores I rested my eyes, as yellow skies looked down on me, and where colored stars once gleamed. Each unseen star spoke sweetly into the wind… Awaken my sistah, let a new day begin. Poetry by Tonnette Collier Written: February 5 – March 15, 2018
