Finally
Finally....
I fixed that squeaky hinge, on the door of my soul
that used to keep me awake at night...
No more thoughts replaying themselves over & over
again...finally... the inner me is feeling alright.
Finally... I am Not afraid to take deep breaths of my life...
I am finally ok just being me...
I don't care about not being a Lover a girlfriend or a wife.
Finally... My lil Soul feels free.
Finally... the tears stopped falling...
just when I was beginning to drown
Finally ... I could hear...

A Call to THE LIGHT...
It's Time...
It's Time...
For any body with even a SPECK of Light
In their Soul...to speak positivity into this realm
because darkness for long enough has been sitting at the helm...
Reeking havoc on the lot of us...
tell how is THIS fair where is the justice...
Well.. It's Just US... the Light workers... Healers
Empaths... and Seers of the world...
Its Time...
It's Time for us So Called Gifted...
To get Lifted... and send a shockwave Of Light
Out into the starless Night...
Manifest the Light......
It's Time...

Soul... So New.
And ...
The Soul of me branches out
expanding my conscousness
expelling all doubt...
I finally know who I am... and
I've got a handle on what this
Life... in This time is all about...
Took me so much time
to... figure it out...
As I took my paint brush of life
and painted water color crayola
Picaso's out of all those
Wounds and and pains that
Once controlled my life...
I used to be manipulated... by
All my strife...
So ancsestors came to me twice...
Teaching me...

A Love Renewed
I'm In Love...
I'm In Love with some one
I haven't seen in so long...
cause I used to be so gone...
and so all alone...
Inside my mind....
Man... I'm in Love within someone I haven't
seen in such a long time...
Last time we talked... the conversation
was 1 sided...see my pain... I never really
learned to hide it...and... I have a chance... again
To connect to my very old friend...
Butterflies are dancing in my stomach
as a smile slides across my face...
Just thoughts of reconnecting got me ...

Its Time
Lately...
The taste of life has grown bland
As I count my lifetimes like grains of sand
Standing on Hills
Surveying My souls land
There is a particular language the wind speaks
That only I can understand.
The newness of Life.... now worn like a pair of
comfortable shoes...
As my world blooms in deep purples & midnight blues
I close my eyes to hear the words of the wise...
My Eccentricities...
I no longer despise
Its 2018....
Time for the Phoenix
To Once Again Rise & take to the skies
The taste of life has grown bland
As I count my lifetimes like grains of sand
Standing on Hills
Surveying My souls land
There is a particular language the wind speaks
That only I can understand.
The newness of Life.... now worn like a pair of
comfortable shoes...
As my world blooms in deep purples & midnight blues
I close my eyes to hear the words of the wise...

Awakening...
The heat in my soul ,.
Is rising like a fine mist
Embers smoldering
Soul s been Fire Kissed
My Essence Emersed in Bliss
The madness from the past..
Erased from my Karmaic List
Life is Good.
And Im about to start living it
And the Light that's in me ..
Well I'm about to start giving it.
Cause I'm a Reflection of It...
I submit to shine..
A Love Divine...
I'm living my happy ever after..
With ups and downs..
Are the Faces of the Clowns...
Welcome...
To Life's next chapter...

If she were here
So much angst...
Building inside the expanse
Of my mind's interior...as of late
I've been feeling a bit inferior
Gotta breathe ... gotta balance my chi
Gotta fight these crunchy feelings
Building up inside of me.
I been thinking about my Mama
She been gone so long...so long
Her spirit speaks to me often
Telling me to stay strong...
As my soul fights the dis ease
Of not having her around...
Yeah..I think that's the reason
I've been feeling down.
Need her wisdom now
Need to hear her voice
About matters of the heart
Need...

Kareoke Night
Here...
Amidst the back drop
Of music...and laughter..
Liquor...and lipstick...all
I can do is think of Him...
As I become breathless at
The whisper of his name in
My mind...
As I sip... Smirnoff Apple... turning
Pages ... finding the next song to sing
That reminds me of Him...
I close my eyes... Blocking out all sounds
I imagine him near me... walking up
Behind me...As I sing Jill Scott The Way
All night...
My mind... staying
On Him...
Lover of my soul.
Amidst the back drop

In Her...
And....
In her ...he is stronger... Able to
Give the world His Game Face.
In Her... He takes deep strokes...
Driving away his anguish at a Lovers pace
In Her...
His solace is found...
He submits...in fact He bows down
Not because he is subservient... But
Because She is ... His Queen...
In Her... He sees... Every good thing.
In Her... Lies the strength to soothe
His beast inside...she knows...that his anger
Is really fear...or hurt pride...
In Her...
He knows...He can rise...
as he dives...inside the Sanctuary
Of Her mind...In...
In her ...he is stronger... Able to
Give the world His Game Face.
In Her... He takes deep strokes...
Driving away his anguish at a Lovers pace

This Battle
I…
Can feel the soul of me fanning out…reaching
Needing to be connected. I can feel… my soul seeking
The source of my rejection….
I have got to find my Right Direction… My True North
If you will… because lately.. its been hard just standing still
As I try to decipher… this cosmic puzzle laid out before me
Sometimes it feels like Creator simply ignores me….Yet
I digress as I try not to break from bending under life’s stress
As the tides of life continually crest… I wonder if I’m wicked…
Cause I get NO REST…
As I hear the Elders whisper to me… “ A...

My Blind Side
So much time has past...
As I have watched this movie before...
You know the one...
Girl meets guy..
Guy obsesses over girl...
Girl gives guy too much power over her
mistaking it for love....
Guy... gets greedy...
Guy tries to control her...
Girl gets wise... (almost too late into the movie)
Then Guy.. well the guy
Gets what's coming to him...
Wether its a break up...
An ass kicking..
Or something along those lines...
Bottom Line... He looses out
Too bad the Girl couldnt see who he was from the beginning
Too...

Flight 220.... I still remember
He is with his Father now...
That baby I lost so many years ago...
On that flight to Miami...
I remeber it like it just happend yesterday...
I remember... Leaning my head against the airplane window...
Mourning my Fiance's death.....
as the stewardess kept asking me what she could do for me
because she saw an endless stream of tears falling from my face.
I remember staring at her blankly...
wishing I had words enough to explain what I was feeling
wishing I could scream a svream that could stop and reverse time...
