Tonya McAdams
| Tonya, is a
very prolific writer of poetry, and she says her work could fill several
volumes. Well, Tonya we're waiting to see that!! As yet she
has no poetry books in print. More of her poetry can be
found listed at
www.poetry.com. Tonya is also a gifted psychic. We personally vouch for her high degree of accuracy. Here's a few words from Tonya about herself.
TONYA BIO:
I have been writing since high school which is where it
all started actually. It's thanks to a wonderful English teacher
whose name shall remain unspoken and whose face I can still see clear
as if it were yesterday. I have many poems published in various
places online, and am currently working on an ebook collection called
Changes Embraced. The
Soulmates poem below was revised into another called Soulflames
(or something like that) but the here is the ORIGINAL version. I'm
including this particular poem along with some of my other favorites
from more recent years in my ebook. Although each poem is a
favorite, because a part of my soul goes into each poem that I write.
May the angels bless each of you with the brightest of blessings and the warmest love. xoxox tonya |
Soulmates
Flesh to flesh
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Mind to mind
Loving together as one
Tis what God intended
It shall not be any other way
For He made me of you
Now He's brought us together
As one
Soulmates
No greater unity is allowed
Two halves of what's
Now a whole
A husband & a wife
In our hearts & souls
A great responsibility
Toward & for one another
To be true & honest
Else we're torn asunder
Is what soulmates are &
What they do.

September’s Chill
September changes the tide.
Takes the chill & hangs on tight
Has always been harsh
Decisions made in ice
The harsh cold of reality
The harsh cold is September
Full of loss & pain
Loss of my heart
Shattered dreams
Make not this decision
In September’s chill
For September’s chill
Encases my heart with ice
To numb the pan
Within September’s chill.

Tears Wiped Away
Tears flow down
Feel the ache begin to ease
A molten river into
Your heart
Breaks your heart into
As they fall
One tender fingertip
Wipes it away
To a trickle
Then tis over
With a loving touch

Broken Habits
Some habits easy to break
Some hard
Some damn near impossible
Had my fair share of the easy ones
Had my share of the hard ones
Had one or two damn near impossible ones
There’s men easy to get rid of
Some who linger
Some who just won’t go away
Some who just pop in and out from time to time
Which are easiest to break?
Those who just persist and become annoying
Oh those are easiest to get over and break
The ones who pop in and out are the damn near impossible
The hard ones are the ones you shared a section of yourself with
But then broke the trust and faith you had in them as a person
Just when you would give up along comes someone
You never thought would be the one
To grab hold and not let go of the heart.
Regrets over broken habits?
A few.
Changes?
A few.
Break them again to be where am now?
OH hell yea.

Imperfectly Perfect
Tall, dark & handsome?
Hell No
Leave those to the moron factory
Just cause they are tall , dark, & handsome
Doesn’t mean much
Left me unimpressed with them.
It’s not the outside package that makes them
Anything special.
What’s inside is the most important part.
Had tall, dark, & handsome.
Rather take the good wrapped up in the tall, light, & handsome
One with just enough flaws to make them imperfectly perfect
Someone willing to give & take
Share & listen
Cuddle & take responsibilities
Treat you like a lady should be treated
When it’s called for.
But man enough to steam the bedroom when it’s
Time to touch and feel
Kiss & experiment
Just enough wild side to keep you
Wanting more
Gentle enough to melt your heart
Just human enough to be imperfectly perfect.
Cause God knows I’m far from perfect.
But a heart of gold is hard to find
So when it’s found better hang on tight
Cause your world’s gonna go topsy turvy
And the roller coaster begins
That’s love with the imperfectly perfect mate

Strong Enough
Someone to hold
Just ain’t enough
Someone to share secrets with
Just ain’t enough
Somewhere there’s someone
Strong enough to be more than
A leaning post,
More than a secret holder
Somewhere out there
Is a lover, confidant, & friend
Takes a strong strong person to be all of that
And still hang around
Gotta be willing to give and take
Then bounce back and give and take some more.
Just when wann give up see what
It’s like without the one you love by your side
So go another round
That’s what it’s all about
The fire is only a part of it
When it’s lasting there’s so much more
To hold it together.
More than just someone to hold
Someone to share with
Someone to cuddle with
Need someone to dream with
Someone strong enough to let you be
The leaning tower sometimes too.
Give their all & expect the same in return
No matter the risks involved.

Always Givin
Always givin all can
Always doin what feel
Needs doing
Don't see it
But take a gander
Neath the layers
See the tears
See the Pain
Just cause take it
All on
Always givin lil
Part what's inside
To those who need
It most
Can't say tis a good
Nor a bad thing
Just is what is done
Bend but doesnt break
This leanin tower seen
By few used by many
Sometimes feel the
Weight bearin down
But buck up and keep goin
Just to give a lil more
when the world falls apart
For tower how and who
To lean on is never in question
For there's always the love and light
Of those gone before to lend a hand
And build back up again
Powers that be
Powers within
Tis the key
