first date

No, dinner and a movie on our first date

not because I'm shallow and fake

just hoping you are willing to be thoughtful

put in a little work and be insightful

something different and unexpected

like a candle-lit dinner on a private deck

or a romantic horse-back ride
 the moments before the sun goes in and hide

perhaps a few strokes at a driver range

or echoing gun shots at a gun range

You can send a black stretch limo to pick me up

we can head to a gala: tux, sexy dress and pumps

Why not take me to a secluded place, a bayou 

we'll have a stimulating conversation, just me and you 

We can take a brisk stroll in the park

and talk until after dark

para-glide down on a sandy beach

or walk hand and hand w/ sand in our feet

But please, don't ask me out to the movies

I'm just over the fine dining intimacies

TRUST

I know you have things on your mind

and clarity you seek but can not find

guarded thoughts that keep you up

of your past failures and future triumphs

your deepest fears

and countless cares

you should know I'd never used them as a battering ram

―Tiffany Nicole

when you look at me

Searching for the soul of the image staring at me.

Is the reflection you see truly me?

Can you see my doubt and uncertainty?
Do you see my imperfections and dislikes?

My endless efforts to be more like Christ;

Or the disconnection I feel when I am not near thee.

Do you see my fears?

My simple complications?

A heart so tender, delicate and sincere.

Or the façade built of manufactured stone?

Sometimes I cry at night

Lie restless and hold my pillow tight

Do you see what lies beneath?

What do u see when you look at me?
