A tribute to a respected man, great father and exceptional human being. You will be missed Diego. Rest In Peace

Un ange a frolé la terre, marqué par le passage d'un homme. Cette homme qui a été pour certains, une présence bienveillante dans les moments difficiles. Pour d'autres, un ami toujours présent. Tu nous laisses le coeur pesant malgré tout, nous savons que ce n'est que partie remise. Tu mérites de bien te reposer. Tu vas vraiment nous manquer, Diego.

Retour sur le passé... une de mes premières performances.

All I want is you

by Dinny Desire (presented at Musicalizm Fan's Choice edition, Oct. 23rd, 2011)

I smell your perfume and feel your presence
When I try to reach for you
I'm left empty-handed
That's when I realize that you've already left

They said that I'd forget
They said that I'll find better
But the fact remains that
"You" still linger
No one compares to you
Baby, all I want is you.

I've tried to move on
Tried to forget you
I even tried to escape
Don't know what to do
Cause all i want is you

All those things you left unsaid
In your rushed departure
Words pending in a phrase
That my heart can't formulate
Is it from me, you're really running from...?

I wish I could have you
Unaffected, just like before
No matter the circumstances
Because time grows longer without you
That's it, all I want is you

I tried to move on
Tried to forget you
Even tried to leave you
But all i want is you

Don't know what more to tell you
Can't it be just... Just me and you
I can't even reach you
I just want to tell you
That all I want is you

All those things I didn't say are filling my heart with pain
Unspoken thoughts and unwritten words are trying to burst out of my sealed lips
Trying to finds their way to you

How could I have been so blind, how could you?
Not seeing this blooming disaster
Whoever said that time heals, doesn't know that
I miss you every day
Cause the fact remains that all I want is you

I don't know what to do
Should I stay or should I go
I hope someone can let me know
These overwhelming regrets are crowding my soul
I don't know what more I can say

All I want is you

This song gets to me every time I hear it and it has been there ever since I've heard it for the first time. Friendly advise, make it play while reading my next post.

Enjoy!

So many...

by Dinny Desire on Monday, 08 August 2011 at 21:49


So many bitter women fill their days with unsatisfaction
The feeling that they will forever be second best consumes their pureness
So many young men doubting their capacity to provide
As they try their hand in the game of life
It comes around and turns them down

I wish that time could stop running
just so we could have the opportunity to reflect
On what we have, what we want and what we really need

How many times, have I seen
My fellow sisters run for the unavailable.
Some who ravage to obtain
Until they realize that they never really wanted him in the first place
It was just for the novelty of taking him.

After you mess with her and mess him up.
Turning another black woman into a human scorn
And another brother into a bonafide player
What left is there for us

The good, beautiful, sexy women
who still believe in goodness and hope
Romance, the passion and more
What is left aside from all the bitterness

I am not saying that you should not go after what you want
I am just saying that you should wonder at what cost
What will it really mean for you in the end?

Definition of a Man (part 2)

by Dinny Desire on Sunday, 11 September 2011 at 21:11

 

I want a Man, a Brother, NOT  a player!
One who knows the value of the precious piece that I am,
One who can admire this God-given masterpiece that I represent.

When push comes to shove, I want...
One who won't bulk under pressure,
One who can rise to every opportunity.
NOT one who goes AWOL at the first sign of adversity.

I want a Man, a Friend, NOT a player!
One who will pick up the ball and be strong when I am weak,
One who will be truthful and honest when he can smell my bullshit.

When life starts to toss us around, I want...
One who will stop time to create new memories for us to appreciate,
One who will bow down to God's Authority
And knows how to cherish the Queen in me.
NOT one who will barf at the smell of responsibility.

Being all those things for me will certainly not be easy
And for that I will be all that you need.

I'll be your Woman, soft in all the right places,
Always ready to make you laugh and
Erase your forehead's creases.

I'll be your Mother, nurturing in all cases,
Always there to make sure that nothing is missing and
To relieve you from life's stresses.

I'll be your Friend, understanding and forgiving,
When you need someone to tell you something and
To push you when you need to live and stop dreaming.

I will be all that and more,
All I can be so that You can be
All that I need.

I need a Man
I need a Friend
I need a Brother, A King!!

Not a player...
