Holding On
Your Majesty,
I had a dream that I was so small in the center of your all mighty hand.
I held on to your one fnger with ten of my own.
Could you hear me crying, begging you to enclose me and stick me in your pocket?
You must have, because you did.
All the while they were tearing at my soul, telling me all the things, well...you heard them too.
Laughing at me, mocking you.
Mocking my faith in you.
But im thankful for your rest, as I slept within your Pavillion, riding by your side, protected from further destruction.
Every once in a while, you...
I had a dream that I was so small in the center of your all mighty hand.

All the while they were tearing at my soul, telling me all the things, well...you heard them too.
Laughing at me, mocking you.
Mocking my faith in you.
But im thankful for your rest, as I slept within your Pavillion, riding by your side, protected from further destruction.
Every once in a while, you...

Beheaded Poem
I beheaded a poem
For you... my rhyme
I cleaned its insides
I took off its eyes
For not having to bear
The humidity of the tears
I blew the letters up...
I threw the letters down
I washed the poem clean
I've let the scales dry
So I could do a helmet
To avoid beheading...
For you... my rhyme
I cleaned its insides
I took off its eyes
For not having to bear
The humidity of the tears
I blew the letters up...
I threw the letters down
I washed the poem clean
I've let the scales dry
So I could do a helmet
To avoid beheading...

Muse In Red
Muse in red to a mongrel blue.
Blood on stone that yonder finds.
Reptile's light to the healing bend.
Precarious fires for cooling minds.
Connected words
snake & flower.
Serrated tongue for honeyed slaying.
Clever beauty cleft & splayed.
Stuck on point to glowing ember.
A salamandrine crawling under.
Hell in spades for poets ablaze.
Toxic shade in savage grace.
Defense & pride yet torn asunder.
Talk & torch to dark unwelcome.
Those darting beads,
miss & failure.

Asking for Forgiveness
In a fit of rage and lust
I sped away without looking in the rearview mirror
I left everything to chance amidst the dust
Until it settled down and I was able to see clearer
I was an angry young man
Not paying attention to the curves on the road
Through red lights flashing skidding and crashing
I went over the edge watching the vessel explode
Then came a physical pain
Something that I thought of as karma or punishment
Making me reflect in the way I had been and behaved
Like some mystical lesson for whatever that ..ish meant ...
I sped away without looking in the rearview mirror
I left everything to chance amidst the dust
Until it settled down and I was able to see clearer
I was an angry young man
Not paying attention to the curves on the road

I went over the edge watching the vessel explode
Then came a physical pain
Something that I thought of as karma or punishment
Making me reflect in the way I had been and behaved

The Most Loving and Forgiving
I disobey You; my Lord; yet You call me back to grace...
I stray a thousand times; yet You never turn Your face
I sin in the daylight; I sin in the night...
Yet You cover my shame; conceal me from sight
I took from the world; but forgot what You gave...
I walked into darkness; yet still; You forgave
I spoke what was false; I mocked what was true...
Yet Your mercy still flows; like the morning dew
I broke my word; I broke my vow...
Yet You mend my soul; then teach me how
Had it been men; they would cast me aside......
I stray a thousand times; yet You never turn Your face
I sin in the daylight; I sin in the night...
Yet You cover my shame; conceal me from sight
I took from the world; but forgot what You gave...
I walked into darkness; yet still; You forgave
I spoke what was false; I mocked what was true...
Yet Your mercy still flows; like the morning dew
I broke my word; I broke my vow...
Yet You mend my soul; then teach me how
Had it been men; they would cast me aside......

Missing pieces
I miss you..
I miss the way that you lit the fire inside of me..
I miss the excitement that I feel when my eyes are about to look inside of yours..
I miss the way you dance with me in the house..
I miss how I could talk to you about anything for hours..
I miss how I'm a better me with you..
I miss the way that my hand fit inside of yours..
I miss the way your heart danced with mine..
I miss how you intoxicate me by the way that you speak..
I miss the way you would come up behind me when I was washing dishes..
I miss the way your lips felt...
I miss the way that you lit the fire inside of me..
I miss the excitement that I feel when my eyes are about to look inside of yours..
I miss the way you dance with me in the house..
I miss how I could talk to you about anything for hours..
I miss how I'm a better me with you..
I miss the way that my hand fit inside of yours..
I miss the way your heart danced with mine..
I miss how you intoxicate me by the way that you speak..
I miss the way you would come up behind me when I was washing dishes..
I miss the way your lips felt...

Bed Of Daffodils
Skilled hands digging the hole deep
Planting seeds to restfully sleep
Waiting for the glorious day
When inspiration takes heartache away
Sowing seeds since the beginning
Mistake after mistake is my ending
Haunted daily by memory's refraction
Paying consequences for my actions
Nourished by the rain and light
Hiding the past, my dark of night
Secrets buried way down below
Waiting for something beautiful to grow
Within this grave I plant my treasure
Beauty grows from desperate measures ...
Planting seeds to restfully sleep
Waiting for the glorious day
When inspiration takes heartache away
Sowing seeds since the beginning
Mistake after mistake is my ending
Haunted daily by memory's refraction
Paying consequences for my actions
Nourished by the rain and light
Hiding the past, my dark of night
Secrets buried way down below
Waiting for something beautiful to grow
Within this grave I plant my treasure
Beauty grows from desperate measures ...

My Nickname Was Grace, Because I Broke Everthying I Touched, But Maybe That's Not A Bad Thing
If the woman I now am, could keep the knowledge I now have on the outcome of you, and how one day you would heal from your own childhood trauma and be the mother I always needed, I would've loved you while you were thumping around on me. I would've went to school with a clearer mind, knowing there's hope in this life to be had one day. I would've applied myself to studying. I could've made good grades, I just didn't see the point of it all, as a child life is defined by current moments, and the future was happening live time, so I had no hope for mine, because if your own mother hated you,...

Preservation Of Faith
I only write when life is pressing on everything that matters.
Never losing roots, color, or softness...
Until the confusion is lifted, and the sun shines once more.
Never losing roots, color, or softness...

Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Eagerly you build your own bird cage
Accusements, anger and revenge
Are the bars surrounding you
Like in a never-ending loop
You replay hurtful experiences
In front of your inner eye
Forgive!
Forgive freely!
Forgive others!
Forgive yourself!
Your plumage has turned pale
Your song doesn't sound happy anymore
Now is the time to let go of
Resentments, trouble and despair
All the self-destructive feelings
You have carried far too long
Forgive! ...

From One Mother To Another
It's a beautiful gift to watch your children tackle life unbroken when something so broken raised them. Hiding the pain was worth it, and in the moments when I couldn't cope, when I would spill over because it was all just too much, well, I regret not being stronger in those moments. Because in those moments they couldn't understand that part of mom, the war of cycle breaking and the toll it takes on mind body and soul, where I would lay in bed for three or four days crying and praying, praying for God to renew my strength, but never once did I lay a hand on them, never once did I withhold my...

This Ain't No Bull
I had a dream once, I was in this building full of rooms and people, then all of the sudden I hear folk screaming and running, and as I turn around, here is this red bull charging through everyone. I take off running for my life when I realized he had his sights set on me only. I ran into one of the rooms trying to hide behind crates and stuff the rooms were filled with, but the bull knew exactly where I was, as he horned the goods tossing them about until he was in range of me by two or three feet, and as we locked eyes, all the sudden he turned into a black bull, and I took the pause as an...
