I'm Going To Write Until The Day Is DoneI'm going to keep writing regardless of the outcome
I'm going to keep clicking my keys and my mind
I'm going to create from nothing what I need
I'm going to give it all I got, cuz its what I do !
I will share my thoughts whether you like it or not

Just want ,wanted to be heardWorld knows the seven deadly sins-
lust,gluttony,greed,sloth,wrath,envy,pride.
A woman basic need to understood and being
heard is more deadly a sin
which burn the mind and heart to ashes.
Even the pious man and lay man
has no difference when ridiculing
woman for her pain and emotions.
Has to smile beautifully and talk sweetly
though burning alive inside and out.

The lies they killed us withThey starved our bodies of love
Then complain how our bones shake in fear
They strip us of our dignity
Then glare at us when we jave nothing to wear
They take our souls
Then question when they hear our screams in their dreams
It's why when the wind fills their ears
It sparks chills
And the echoes...

To be black part IITo be black
Is to live life freely
Despite being trapped in a cage without a key
Ignoring the hate from society
As their bodies radiate envy
Trying to destroy our joy through spreading negativity
And taking our lives violently
To be black Is to smile in the face of adversity
To be black
Is to find beauty in the...

Nebulous Horizon
When alabaster twilights
rain upon celestial roses,
with tear-soaked trinkets
of ancient aromas ~
I wear their amaranth scents
upon acrylic wrists,
and tie my terracotta threads
of twinkling trust
with those topaz ribbons
of reminiscent tales,
slowly floating
in an opal olive fog ~
where a bouquet of bones
decorates my heart-shaped coffin
and this hoaxed bride,
veiled in...

nethermost
rock bottom a euphemism at best
sunken feeling of a leaden balloon
deflated burst into shrapnel of fears
they say it’s when you stop digging
the circumference of the black hole
larger than your inflated Ego mania
and then the trap door opened for more
the chisel engaged in vigorous overdrive
what a life to be had or thrown away
a rescue team...

Dumped in a black holeIn just a day,
I lost my father, my mum,
and my only two siblings,
I became the only member of my family:

my own siblings.

Not MineThe olive garden to prepare.
With Zebedee’s sons and Peter
He prayed for the cup to pass,
Your will be done
Not mine.
Take this cup from me?
Yet not my will, but yours be done.
Point of death, the hour is here.
Fast asleep under the trees.
Vision of Isaac being prepared,
On his knees to be spared.
Sorrow in...

Dad: Life Well Lived of a Good ManA good man walks through life with quiet strength, carrying himself with dignity while lifting others along the way. He speaks with honesty even when the truth is difficult, and his word can be trusted completely. You can see his character in small moments—how he treats someone who can do nothing for him, the patience...

UnphasedI am one who carries love
who also carries grief
I hold life’s many phases
like the moon engulfed in shadow
this weight has pulled me inwards
to discover hidden craters
that may become rich seams
how far till I reach darkness
the tides rule pain and pleasure
our wealth of brilliant dreams
and loss of all we cherish
as we fall to earth again
the sky...

And What Shall Become of UsDid Dorothy understand that her presence a bother
Disrupting the order in Ozland
An intruder. A stranger. A child in danger.
Tin man is empty. Scarecrow weaved of dried grass. Lion fearing everyone that crosses his path.
Dorothy walked in the shoes of a wicked witch that she’d killed. Assuming the role of a tyrant in heels.
Exposing the...

Touch of the SpiritKundalini 7-11-25
Line of Inquiry "What does it mean to be actually touched by the spirit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Touch of the Spirit
Unseen this breath
That hovered over a shapeless abyss
Not understanding
This tantalizing scent of divinity
And a fluttering touch
This dove of prophetic mystery
Cravings carved from aspirations
Foreshadow reverie
When musings beget beatitudes
Restless perfection ascends
From a fire that never burns
The unselfish redeeming...

My eternal lubricantMy soul had long been troubled...
by hatred, d e j e c t I o n and contempt ~
They were the poisons that flowed red in my v e i n s,
burning like wildfire from my head to my toes,
as if this world were inhabited by d e m o n s:
that have teeth...

No Gentle HandsThe master cracks his whip
across the horse’s trembling flank,
pushing the beast to its limits
until the wildness snaps and the horse reacts,
a flurry of chaos beneath the sting.
When silence falls, the master
believes the animal has learned,
believes the wounds are healed.
He reaches out with clean hands,
petting the horse's weary muzzle,
his fingers gentle, but not soft enough.
The horse,...
