So much like a rose, beautiful to see blossom,
yet not comfortable to hold
The whispers thunder.. Aren’t you a little toold
A little to old to what?
to keep trying, to keep fighting,
until I am living the plan God has designed
You wish I could rewind,
go back in time
reroute my choices
Listen to your faint and mostly absent voices
mouthing empty lines, “I care”
“Listen to me, I know”
“Be aware , beware, of leaving empty”
“Just listen,” “having nothing to show
means something
I have something to show
the things God has given to nurish me
Conviction, strength, courage, compassion, defined divinity
Learned more than I wanted to know
my thorns, necessary amonng the weeds,
Helped me grow
Images left behind meant to humble me
strip me of my spoils
Thankful for my toils, falls and tolls
Seen the hearts of annoited souli
So, to old. to withstand
Your reprimands,
hear you repel my pain
Eye to Eye with Annoited Souls
taught me the worth of riches, not weighed in gold
Words sing my accountability
Apology acknowledging
the severity of my wrongs,
The lost of trust now will sing
the sad song
about the little girl gone bad
with what all she had
How could she go…
deep within the shadows of night,
Living by faith, you will always be able to the light
of God
Is my sight, soothing to your sore eyes
or could I bet on odds that all that is a disquise for why I am hear at your door
So poor of life
so equipped with spiritual dollars
just small words and soft voice
that’s all that is left of all those bad days of wrong choice
Hear in a book full of stories i am tell
My ears now allergic to voices that yell
Left behind with a man on a dowtown street with
the lonely eyes that give visions of a lotus hell
So much more serene than this earth, fools call home
The holted hell of dismay that lies in the livings eyes,
as they lose belief in energy
, in love
in Spirituality
The whispers of disdain,
incessant words determined to blame
this present on ignorance, stupid mistakes, unbelievably bequest to me
Smart is the descriptive adjective placed before my name
yet in your mouth all that remains
is wrong
Your words, however few, dig holes, left my soul hollow
My choices made by the awareness of my intuition
Inside beyond what the eye can view
painted this plot the hue of God
They snicker and cower, when his name is heard,
“You talking to God in all this mess”.. that’s absurd
The Silence is heavy, just the inkling of absurdity
Ignites monumental certainty
My clarity
Dec
A beautiful urgency
completely this difficult task
Holding my tongue, having more faith,
then the last days, when how, where, what, when and how come furnished my mind
took residence in my heart
Lead me to places far from your sullen audacity
that provided you tenor of the judgement of me
I have inhaled peace, exhaled this negativity
Parlayed the rejecting repugnance of your translation
Of me… It’s just that, another rendition of a perspective truth,
heavy with expectation,
Void of me
Yesterday is old, stale on my breath
Mock the watery prayers falling from my eyes to hell
dampen the fire where the anger gestates
Abort that which consummates
disappointment, anger
don’t carry it to term
Buried it named a lesson learned
