Never Alone
fighting to be strong on my own
made from the rib of his bone
they throw their sticks and a stone
a crucifix & “ATONE!”
I am Eve’s daughter
clutching Eden’s clover
snakes whispering on my shoulder
praying that SOMEWHERE
after atonement
there is a garden of paradise
another land of milk and honey
another MIRACLE where water turns to wine
I have FAITH in the devine
they may have called me
Delilah or Jezebel
but today, I am Anointed!
I will be the LAST cursed womb ...
made from the rib of his bone
they throw their sticks and a stone
a crucifix & “ATONE!”
I am Eve’s daughter
clutching Eden’s clover
snakes whispering on my shoulder
praying that SOMEWHERE
after atonement
there is a garden of paradise
another land of milk and honey
another MIRACLE where water turns to wine
I have FAITH in the devine
they may have called me
Delilah or Jezebel
but today, I am Anointed!

Guilt and Remorse
Guilt and Remorse
Paul says, “My middle name is trouble. I caused my family no end of heartaches. When I was ten years old I was a pied piper. I led my sister to unload an abandoned car with me. We dumped the contents on our front porch.”
“Ok. You’ve got me interested tell me more.”
“Well, I got her to hide behind a stack of paper towels in the grocery store. Mom went crazy looking for us. We burst out laughing. Dad whipped us good. It wasn’t my sister’s fault. I talked her into it.”
“I like the progression here. What was the worst thing you talked...

We’ll Cross That Bridge When We Build It
how do we cross
a burned-out bridge
that’s been washed away
from the middle?
so much water flows beneath,
my feet are wet
so much blood stains the river,
my hands are red
the stacks of wood
stored on both sides
would have made
quick work of small repairs;
but afraid of giving
too much of ourselves,
we refused to share ~
fiercely protecting our pieces
until we fractured,
becoming the sharp...

smile
my mind is a battlefield that i surrendered to
because time never healed the wounds
i suppressed and concealed not caused by you
life’s worth of hurt erupting inside of me
i feel my heart corrupting right upon my sleeve thoughts race faster than my own heartbeat
i’ve reached the end of my rope
so i tied it tightly around my throat
closing my eyes and letting go of all my hope
just as everything fades to black
i see you smiling back
the rope it snaps
and i collapse

"Why Do You Call Me Good??"(Matthew 19.17)
Why did Christ ask that question??
He was on guard against the idea that HE Jesus was good - of Himself.
Its as if Christ was learning from the devil - the devil's example.
Lets say the devil rebelled against God on the basis of his own goodness, godliness.
He wanted to be independent, that's all.
Jesus is saying, "If I want to be independent, I'm making the same mistake that the devil made.
I've GOT to remember I am NOTHING without God the Father !!!
Jesus had an ego.
He apparently was afraid of His own ego.
Or realized...

My Heart Retuns
Never thought of you as worthless, my love spirit spoke to me deeply and told me you worth it.
I tasted love on your lips, when we first kissed.
Our love was a hit. As if we rehearsed it.
No words had to be recited. My heart was lonely kindle wood, waiting for your love to ignite it. It was like a baby first taste of sugar, I was overwhelmed with your sweetness, I wanted more my heart cried for it. Craving it and excited.
Your smile your sweet scent I inhaled, your beauty is so rare. You seem to me a princess, that stepped out of a fairytale. You had...

Etched Simplicity~
Lemon honey in tea, with a swirl of cream. Inhale the morning.
Cats are lying in the beams of light that shine through
the old farmhouse glass. Being the Queens that they are.
In the distance smoke from the neighbor’s chimney rises through the woods
and fades like a sweet dance.
In this peace filled space of mine I wonder.
Wonder where you are, what you are doing, if you
ever feel my true heart from here to there?
The heart where countless of hours were spent in your arms
laughing like children experiencing the innocent, the new.

Releasing demons
Orange, green, red, and blue. Was there a reason she picked four different colors. Would it matter, any four balloons filled with helium would work. The ribbon tied to each one was just plain old white, very functional. Then they were tied together into a nice little bouquet.
They floated there in the corner as we talked, unobtrusive and yet flamboyant at the same time. My eye was drawn to them as we discussed the previous week. How was my mood, had I had any struggles? But the elephant in the room was paper on the coffee table in front of me.

Death Bed
As I rest on this bed with the angel of death,
I am feeling quite numb with my long gone wrath,
The thrills that you gave me when we first met,
I recall that all, are my eyes already wet?
Come closer, let me whisper in your fair ears one last time,
We did make it even when the time wasn’t prime,
We set every eye rolling on us with the fire burning in our souls,
The way we checked every box as we conquered our goals.
OH let me tell you this one last time my darling,
Till date, I haven’t met anyone so beautiful and starling!
Remember...

Part 2: We were robbed. Wake up, black child. You are on your own!
Yes! I have seen them appearing from the hypothetical great corners of the universe. Dying to see the soul of an innocence evacuated, sailing the body behind the hearse.
The weeping family is constantly following the hearse, and the little ones are crying like they understand the meaning of it all. I guess that’s what makes the scene worse.
Foes continuously planning how to disrupt your next move because you are a threat to their plans. That's only happening because you were delivered through a sacred verse.
I am stubbornly insisting on...

Navillera
chapter 1 // recollection}
Both my eyes closed
Opens an unknown door
A small secret,
I think you should know.
I remember something so clear
You and I,
Our fingertips brushing against our hearts.
The swirling storm inside
N-n-navillera~
Big, brave and beautiful
Stars afire
Should've known that time
The envy of my loneliness
For love…
Now both my eyes closed just in time

Let’s start again,
With something else
