CHAPTER 1

    White Footprints

    I see white footprints in my dreams
    I see footprints in my dreams!
    There WERE BIG white footprints
    Should I be scared?
    Or should I say
    Thank you.
    Thank you ...
    Thank you ...


    Big Footprints

    I saw white footprints in my dream
    I felt a lightness of heart
    I felt the warmth of his arm carrying me
    From within
    There were big footprints

    Shades of grey illuminant ... my dream

    I felt silence like I never felt before
    From within

    I saw white footprints in my dream
    There were big footprints

    I felt at peace,
    I felt at peace

    I felt whole
    I felt loved

    I feel GOD

    I saw white footprints in my dream!

    And now I see this Golden Glow

    My bone says
    THANK YOU,

    It's My Heart

    It's the wanting that hurts the most
    It's the silence that makes the wound blood
    It's not you touch that burns

    It's the wanting

    It's the love that you marinade into my soul
    It's the love I want to marinade back to yours
    It's not your touch that burns

    It's the wanting

    It's by heart ... that yearn the loudest

    It's the wanting
    It's the wanting


    Definition oF Vickie

    Life's circle of saddest
    Has wrapped itself
    Around my heart
    I must admit
    I have no more
    Room
    For
    B.S

    CACTUS V.P.


    My BOY

    Another mother heart has broken
    Knowing she has lost
    He has attacked her heart for years
    Practice, Practice
    Another black son has lost his way
    Lost his soul
    Lost his mind
    A mislaid future
    she misses the boy he was
    Hides from the man is

    Her guilt, his journey
    His secrets, her love
    Her denial, his shame
    His pressure, her spite
    Her blame, her pain
    His fear, his love
    His nerve, her critics

    She never shared her guilt
    He never shared his journey
    She never believed he was and is the guiltiest
    They shared the blame
    And now she watches

    He has his own cage
    He has his own pain
    He has his own guilt
    They never shared the
    LOVE


    Echoes of Romance

    Whispers of romance echoes in the breeze
    Do you remember me?
    I remember you
    Catching a foul ball is easier
    Then believing in the "Great White hope of love"
    Or love at first sight
    First kiss
    I like spin the bottle
    You make me weak in the knees
    Whispers of sadness echoes in the breeze
    I remember you
    Do you remember me?
    I remember heart to hearts
    I remember regrets
    I remember sad good-byes
    I remember echoes of romance
    I remember whisper of love
    I remember
    I remember you
    Do you?
    Remember Me?


    Five Dollar Man

    I know this man
    They call him five dollar man
    He has a story and a smile just for you
    Don't look him in the eyes, his sadness draws in your love
    He is a man of all season
    In the winter time, he says, let me have five dollars
    In the springtime he says, let me have ten dollars
    In the summertime he says, let me have, back to five
    Let me have
    Let me have
    Let me have
    Mr. Five Dollar man
    Never says thank you
    His eyes gaze over yours
    not all fantasy make the front page
    Mr. Five dollar man
    Has a new title
    He has graduated with honors
    We now call him
    Twenty dollar man
    My brother, my brother, my brother


    "How Long"

    How long can you hold on to a fairy tale of love?
    As long as you want to
    How long do you hold onto a memory of a kiss?
    Until the sensation disappears from your lips
    How long do you hold onto the pain of love?
    As long as you forget, what love is all about
    How long does it take to forgive
    Forever or a day
    Forever or a day
    How long does it take to tell someone you love them?
    As long as time gives you
    How long does it take to stop wanting him?
    As long as your heart say soon
    How long can this dream go on?
    Until the sandman says no more
    How long
    How long
    How long does it take to let go?
    As long as I say soon


    To Mom

    My Sister' a
    Why you hurt me
    My Sister Friend
    Why you call me Bitch
    My Sister Girl
    Why do you talk about me that way
    My Sister, My Sister
    Why don't you love yourself
    My Sister' a
    Why can't you see Yourself
    My Sister, My Sister
    Why you put me Down like that
    My Sister Friend
    Why can't you Respect me and you
    My Sister, My Sister
    Why do you have so much Pain
    My Sister Friend
    Why don't you open your Heart to Love yourself First
    My Sister Girl
    Why can't you Forgive
    Do you know the Word Worthy
    My Sister Friend
    Do you know the words "It takes a Sisterhood to Raise a Real Sister A"
    My Sister Girl, My Sister Friend, My Sister My Sister
    I Do Honor You


    Sarah Unicorn

    Whenever I see Sarah
    Unicorns come to play
    I Wonder
    Butterflies full her Crown
    Man Fantasize about Women like Sarah
    Unicorns and Sarah have the same Aure
    Mythical
    Mysterious
    Magic
    I see Sarah Dancing with Unicorns in the wild Rose of Sharon
    Weeping Cherry trees enjoy the view
    Sarah style Hair of Lily's,
    Eye's that Shine,
    Leg's that never end
    Things are not always what they Seem in Sarah, World


    "That Pigeon Toe Girl"

    Sometimes letting go takes Years.

    Even Open Wounds take time to Heal

    I Loved Two Men Once
    One made me Smile Big
    The Other one made me Smile even Bigger
    I met One on a Cool Summer Night Concert
    The Other One I met on a Rainy fall Night,
    Every Girl should have one flat tire and one leading Man
    Romance
    Lost Love
    Give Me Love
    One was Tall
    Other One was even Taller
    Give Me Love
    Lost Love
    One made me Feel Loved all the way Down to my Pearly Toes
    The Other One Touched by Heart
    One told me his Mother called me that nice Girl from Gary
    The Other One Grandmother said you like that Pigeon Toe Girl
    Give Me Love
    Lost Love
    One made me Want to see the World
    The Other One Gave me Flowers
    I Married the One who Ask Me.
    One called to ask would I ever Forgive Him
    The Other One called to say, you were Always the One
    Give Me Love
    Lost Love
    I Loved Two Men Once
    And they both Made the Same Mistake
    They Loved Themselves More
    Give Me Love
    Lost Love


    "All About Me"

    Something Touch Me
    In the Backness of the Night
    Something touch me
    I wasn't Dreaming
    I wasn't sucking my Thumb
    I wasn't Dreaming
    I wasn't Dreaming of Lose
    I wasn't Dreaming of Love
    I wasn't Dreaming at all
    Something wake me in the Night
    It was Loneliness
    And Someone was Sucking my Thumb
    Me


    "My Golden Dream"

    I often Dreamed I lived in Old Oak Tree House
    In the mists of the Stars
    I dance the Naked dance of Love
    And the Moon Shines on.

    How unreal, it seem to other
    But it was real for me
    Dream a little, Dream with me
    Dreams do come true.

    I always looked at Trees as a Gift from Mother Earth
    Enormous Gift that never goes away
    Dream a little. Dream with me

    In the Morning drew of my Golden Dream
    Norah Jones sits gracefully on Old Elm Tree Branch
    Singing "Come away with Me"
    I looked to see Tree branches swaying to the song
    Dream a little a, Dream with Me.

    I see the Pink Weeping Cherry Tree
    Changing colors with the Rhythm of the song
    Pink to White
    To Red with Love
    Dream a little, Dream with Me.

    Around Midnight Blue
    Chris Botti comes out with his Magic Horn to Play "Light the Stars"

    Even the Sourwood Trees gives him Nod.
    Dream a little, Dream with Me

    All this Happens in my Tree House of Dreams
    Dream a little, Dream with Me

    Sometime Dreams do Come True


    "Taste of Honey"

    Don't lick my Tattoo
    Your Lips will taste like Honey
    You will like it.


    Don't Smell my Skin
    It's too Aromatic you will lose yourself in Me.
    You will like it.

    Don't ask me for my Sweet Spot
    You should Enjoy the Journey
    You will like it.

    Don't Love me too Much
    You should Desire me More
    Then I will Love you Back
    You will love it.


    Used To

    I used to Dream about you
    I talk in my Sleep
    I thought you were Real
    I remember your Smile
    I used to Dream about you

    Now I Just Wish Upon Star
    I just Win the Lottery
    I remember your Glow
    I used to Dream about you
    I Blush in my Dream
    I remember my Glow with you
    I used to Dream about you
    Now I just Sleep


    Hope, Gratitude, Love

    I Wake with the Sun Shining
    Purple Glow on my Toes
    With Hope and need fighting to be First
    I Wake with a Heavy Heart
    Gratitude is Shouting
    Me. Me. Me
    Love is asking
    What about me, What about me
    and the Sun is Still Shining
