Poetry Corner with Rodrick Bates- Everything

From the top of your head to the sole of your feet, please give me everything that I see... unlimitedly. And as you keep giving me everything that I have seen; I also want you to give me the things that I can't see, like your mind, soul, and your beautiful heartbeat.  I want to learn to know your favorite everything and everything you don't like will never be seen.

Everything you want is what I want you to need and I'll make sure your needs never turn into wants. If you don't, we won't, no matter what it might be. Just to have the honor of sharing the air you breathe makes me inhale and exhale each moment... slowly. Like a whiff of a scratch and sniff scent with roses, or like a night drift reaching shore from the ocean.

I want to be the one you adore, and your devotion. I want to shower you with a love that forever rains, until the root of your heart grows into my "everything." I just want to learn to love everything about you and to feel misplaced if I did anything without you, because a heart isn't worth anything without two. From the start I knew my dreams were coming true because reality was manifesting in the form of you. Now each day that I wake up is a confirmation of blessings coming down after prayers have gone up. And everything that you do is my God given proof. My everything is what he's sent through you.

If I opened up your heart and looked inside, I'll find everything I needed to walk through life. If I couldn't walk, everything that you provide is more than strong enough for a comfortable ride. You're my everything, my wheels and my guide.  And even though I can't physically touch love, you still find ways to show me how it feels inside. So for the rest of my life, I'm giving you much love. Everything plus everything equals everything for us.

Keeping quiet and keeping Secrets about their abuser, who is that helping?

Image
I decided to write a series talking about abusive relationship in hopes to inspire someone that I know and any woman who is reading this blog article to get help getting out of an abusive relationship.  I want women to understand that you don't have to keep a secret nor do they have to stay quiet.  Most importantly, I want them to know that they are not alone.  From personal experience, I personally know family, friends, and associates who are keeping secrets about the abusive relationship.  Keeping quiet and keeping secrets about abuse, who is that helping?  How many women are living a lie right now?  How many women have a secret that no family or friends know anything about?  There are so many women who are living in fear and keeping a secret by staying quiet in an abusive relationship. According to statistic, 85 percent of domestic abuse is to women while only 15 percent is to men.  Women are more prone to living with thei...
