Shards
I’m but shattered glass, fragments that aren’t to be touched
Forever lost in an emotional maze, but who gives a fuck
The light has never sought me out or led me
Forever lost around my next turn is an ever elusive destiny
But watch your step or you might feel me
Those shards in your feet are the real me
Dug in so fucking deep and pain’s exit is so far away
Relief, the bitch, refuses to help me or pay
I feel as if I’m sewage moving slowly beneath the city
The creation of everyone but hidden and doomed to feel shitty

Poem
moving the human
heart far
afield
like birds with broken
backs singing
praises to the
pain of
saints
pain makes a wounded
God take
notice
some noble cause held
captive by the dirty
virtues of
man
a rock upon which
to break the blue
skies of
heaven
heart far

Heaven Takes Away
Back then...
Granny had said that I was a particular child.
How I spent too much time questioning all
of the unreasonable things.
That I was tiresome to her,
when she'd take me to church, and
I wouldn't sit still while listening
to the nonsense of some mortal man
on a stage.
Because I could talk to God anytime,
without that interpreter giving me
his own version.
I'd tell granny, God doesn't see it that way.
She'd just shush me, sometimes handing me
a half-stick of gum...

Time
Taxi’s, Twitter and Trauma
Are the words of my week I’m afraid
Thank god for time and humanity
For where would we be without them?
Time is always of the essence
And without humanity what am I?
Profound and enlightening experiences
Are what I can summise
Life goes along, a bird sings her song
And what can be for the rest?
One can never know as the world will still go
Until the end of time as we know it.

Thee Madd Poetist
not unlike thee madd scientist
can be found painting raw amethyst
scattering verb like skilled ventriloquists
seeing the world in rays of ultraviolet
pushing the limits, the antagonist
is ever questioning if we exist
seeking purity as a naturalist
and blending words as an alchemist
that form thoughts of a nonconformist
wondering if we can really coexist
in a world ran by violent anarchists
afterall, we’re all just boring tourists
seeking the monuments of the quest
so don’t think of me as a terrorist
for I am not a published...

The Celebration Of Femineity
I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.
Harriet Tubman
I am a little late; however, the celebration continues for the creation of us women given unto man as a gift from the Almighty Creator.
In the midst of my femininity, I had my Annual gynecological with fasting lab, I had a dental cleaning, no cavities, my gums are still healthy and not receding.
What is meant when you say Woman’s International Day...

Re-Turn...To Eden
Rain..poured down
Sensing there was a draught
I needed to somehow About Face
Find a way to retrace my steps
Sift through muddied Sand
Recover lost Bones
Hone and Honor God's gifts
Upset the Apple-cart
As a Dust-Crafted Man Created
Apart from.....

Title: something about mystery?
Perhaps technology
Is the death of mystery.
We’re so convinced
we can find certainty.
Too much information
(usually questionable)
makes us impatient--
no tolerance for
the unknowable
no faith
in anything at all
except our favourite influencers…
Faith is
by definition
trusting in a mystery
but
“I don’t know”
is no longer a valid answer
when we can find out
in an instant
everything from
random facts
to preferred opinions
So pick a side
find “facts” to...

... In the grand scheme of things,
we are but a moment....
make haste,
dear soul—

Love Him As He Is
Sometimes it's hard to see
A relationship for what it is
Instead of what we
Want it to be
It's safe to say ...
It's even harder
Leaving someone because
You fell in love with
The same man's possibilities
And nothing more
A relationship for what it is
Instead of what we
Want it to be
It's safe to say ...
It's even harder
Leaving someone because
You fell in love with
The same man's possibilities
And nothing more
