An Angels Love


An Angels Love
by Kristi

An angel now
Up in the sky,
To be an angel
She had to die.

Brought down to earth
To comfort you,
There was a job
She had to do.

To bring you love
And comfort too,
To show that you
Could love her too.

She taught you all
How to have fun,
And now her time
On earth is done.

Don't mourn her soul
Don't shed lost tears,
She'll watch over you
Your remaining years.

And when your time
On earth has gone,
She'll wait for you
At Heavens Dawn.

To lead you over
The rainbow bridge,
And show you love
Over Heaven's Ridge.

You'll not take
Your final walk alone,
Your Angel will be there
To lead you to that Great Unknown.

should I give in 2 temptation?



As hard as it was 2 do, I had 2 let Ice Cold go. He was 2 deep in the game for us to ever have anything meaningful. N E wayz, Entice dropped in on me for a surprise visit. Surprise visit? From Florida to Ga? Yup. Just as you've suspected, its another playa move. He don't know that I'm a Vet in the game. He'll soon find out. He was looking so fine. I think his looks actually got better since the last time I saw him. Still I played it cool. He was so happy 2 see me and said that he was on his way 2 his parents house. The sweetheart even brought me white roses. They were so beautiful and he did catch me off guard. Guys that I've dated haven't even bought me flowers. He must have a revised version of the playa's manual. I can work with it. I was on my way to the gym when he surprised me. I was all decked out in a sports bra and shorts. I had 2 skip the gym and change into something less suggestive. After I changed he asked if I had anything to eat. I replied, shamefully, with no. I wasn't expecting anyone. Otherwise I would have prepared something! He suggested we go to Red Lobster. So we did. We had a great time catching up on each others' lives and the subject of Ice Cold came up. I knew it would at some point. Entice tried to plead Ice Cold's case but it made no difference. I stood my ground, even with those gorgeous hazel eyes gazing back at me. We got back to my place and just chilled. Gosh, there's nothing on Tv! I ranted while surfing channels. He laughed. Then the most universal sitcom ever made was on-Seinfeld! Who doesn't like Seinfeld?! We both were drawn to the television like a moth to a flame. The jokes never get old. For whatever reason, it was the episode where Jerry and Elaine think that they need to have sex to save their friendship. I'm thinkin' in my mind "Hell Yea". But I gotta play this off. We joked and threw that joke back and forth. But why was this the episode we caught? It was basically a booty pass for friends. This was way more suggestive than my gym attire. The next thing I know, he pulls me close to him and for the 1st time ever-we kiss. There was something magnetic about it. It was like our lips were oppositely charged with complementary forces. I admit. I've wanted this ever since that day in the mall. I didn't want to be the aggresser so I let nature take its course. So we kiss. Now what?

Only God knows why...


Well, alot has happened since my last real entry. Ice Cold was arrested on assault/murder charges and wants me 2 "wait" on him. First off, I don't have any dealings with suspected killers! I wasn't joking when I had called him a thug. I didn't know how true that statement really was. He's gotten himself mixed up with the wrong crowd and I can't allow myself to be a part of that. My life would be in danger. N E wayz, guess who he called with his 1 phone call. Yea, u guessed it - Me. I don't know what the hell he thought I could do. I'm just making ends meet with my job and I didn't have that kinda money saved. That was my last conversation with Ice Cold. It wasn't, however, the last time I would hear from him. The incident was on the news. About 3 guys were in a store and shot a cashier. I could tell that the trigger man was clearly Ice Cold. I had no idea that he had that kind of anger to take a life. I was so startled. He showed absolutely no remorse. I decided right there and then I wanted no more to do with him. A few weeks later, his sister calls me up and tells me that he would like to see me. I told her exactly what 2 tell him. She tried to reassure me that there were some stipulations that I didn't know about and that he was set up by one of the other guys he was with. Regardless if he did it or not, he still intended to rob the store! Not to mention he was hanging with the wrong crowd. That was bad judgement on my part, thinking we could go back to something special. Aw well, u live and learn.

love and shallow waters!


The fragrance of a yellow rose
Floating about the air,
Reminds me of another time,
time consumed by all that's around.
time consumed by the future

hope of going back
hope of going back
back through time
people have bleed and have suffered
for that oppotunity

my life will go on
as long as i still breath
i'll go on with my life
as long as i have friends



having a brother by ur side
knowing that u have family
things that not only ease the mind
but stay with u forever

SEAN PAUL RETURNS WITH “THE TRINITY”: EAGERLY AWAITED NEW ALBUM DUE OCTOBER 4TH


VP/Atlantic Records has revealed the first details of the eagerly anticipated new album from dancehall reggae superstar Sean Paul. Entitled “THE TRINITY,” the collection is slated to be in stores on September 27th. It will be heralded by the release of the single, “We Be Burning,” which impacts at multiple radio formats on August 22nd. On “THE TRINITY,” Sean Paul delivers more of his ground-breaking, signature blend of reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop. Recorded entirely in Jamaica, the album finds Sean working with the hottest producers on the island’s dancehall circuit, including Steven “Lenky” Marsden, Don Corleone, Renaissance, Snowcone, and others. As for the title, Sean notes that this is his third album, which has been three years in the making, and which was “all done right here in the Third World.” With the release of his landmark debut VP/Atlantic album, “DUTTY ROCK,” in November 2002, Sean Paul spurred a musical transformation, bringing authentic Jamaican dancehall reggae from an underground phenomenon fully into the mainstream of popular music around the globe. As Sean rhymes on the new album, “We flip the switch and the game just change.” Certified RIAA double platinum in the U.S., “DUTTY ROCK” has gone on to sell nearly six million copies worldwide. It hit the top ten on the Billboard 200, the top five on Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart, and spent a remarkable 75 weeks in the #1 spot on Billboard’s “Top Reggae Albums” chart.

Some of The Marley Children


Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers have shown that theirs is a music rooted in strong traditions. Their music has remained faithful to their father's teachings. They find the meaning of living in the Rastafarian Philosophy, in the Bible, and in mother Africa. "We experience it for ourselves and know it," explains Stephen, "not just hear it, or play it. We live it."

In addition to the current work with the Melody Makers, Stephen is also working with brothers Rohan{married to Lauryn Hill}, Julian, and Damian on a project called Ghetto Youths International.Ghetto Youths is a label headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica for young talent worldwide that would otherwise have no access to the music industry. Julian and Damian have each recently released albums, and are constantly writing, producing, and performing with the rest of the Marley family.

Listen to Stephen and Rohan discuss the close relations between the Marley children here.

The Circle Of Life


fading love and pain endured

when i was young, when i was alive
when all was full of life
when things were still mild
no problems, no pain to trouble my mind

somethings are not worth having
somethings are not worth the time
somethings are not worth dying for
something are just not worth it

when you grow older you learn to love
you learn to forgive and to forget
but i learned pain and misery
i learn a new lesson everyday
never put your trust in an full well
you knoweth when it shall go empty
never trust, love never fall in love
the results are pain, suffering and more
i learned a lesson, i now know life

Alone Again
by Kristi

One day without a word you left
And I still dont know why
It's been over two weeks now
And all I can do is cry.

I know things in life were rough
And we didn't know what to do,
But I never thought you'd stop loving me
Or be here to see this thru.

I guess that promises of forever
Mean a lot more to me,
For I'm still sitting here
Alone again, crying silently.

My days are endless now
My nights cold and lonely,
No more your voice in comfort
Since you took your love from me.

Now I live with an empty ache
Buried deep inside my chest,
It's where my heart once
Beat beneath my breast.

Tonight I stand at my window
And look up to the stars,
I cry quietly to myself
As I wonder where you are.

And though you are not with me
I send up a silent prayer,
For you to find a new love
And never know this cold despair.

For even if you can't be mine
I want you to be happy,
As for me I'll sit here alone again
And cry silently.

Just when u thought it was safe



So I finally told Ice Cold how I felt about everything. All my feelings and the whole shabang. For some reason it didn't register. I went a step even further and said that he was nothing more than just another Booty Call. He is somewhere in the middle of DENIAL. Its as if I hadn't said anything to him at all. Its so weird now. He's actually reached stalker status on my radar. He pops up at my job and almost gets me fired. I even see his car passing through my complex several times. I created a monster as I wipped him into a nuisance. The gifts were cute at first but now they won't stop. I know, this is every girl's dream to have some guy in lust with her and buying her everything. Its fun but it gets old quick. He thinks we'll be 2gether again. That's not gonna happen. He's also mixing up love with lust. I don't know how to get him 2 stop riding my ass so hard!
