Accepting Poems

Promise of the cemetery

I’m walking beside a garden of stone stilled angels
Their eyes are unmoving 
But their soul is cowering

I’m cut between the heat of the earth,
The burning sun and the salty sky
I can’t choose the dirt in where I will lie
But I can choose the way that I will die

There's a towering night overhead
With its sword filled

I'm gonna do it like I've always done it

When I walk through a blink of a garden
That hugs my legs
And calls my mother
To come collect these shards of broken glass

I felt it on the kick of my leg
With hours and more hours spent 
Asking for a chance to restart

There wasn’t even a miracle
To call and ask for a redo
I felt the pain when

Accepting My Fate-Breathless

Quote "Dont play with fire - It doesn't play fair" 
This has been attributed to a song by the Rolling Stones.

It started with burning embers, Prometheus, the fire god casts an evil spell. 
Then starts spot fires turning shrubs and plants into a smoldering dell .

Conditions are unbearable and the growing flames are fanned by

Accepting God’s Hand

I was asked, “have you ever been hit on the jaw?”
I replied, on occasion, I’ve hit a fist with my face.
“Looks like scar tissue is the conclusion I draw”
“but I’ll send it to the lab to be sure that’s the case”

Four days later I got a call that had the answer,
I knew it was bad

On accepting goodbyes

at end of each day
the sun bids us goodbye
with its promise to return
and in gracefully doing so
gives way to the stars
and the cycle of life

Eye To Eye

We are so different, totally.
There hardly is a thing
that gives us common ground at all,
but it is interesting –
that we can still live side by side
in pure peace if we try. 
Cuz everything is possible…
when we see eye to eye.

Escaping Death

Escaping Death

(written in a mental hospital) 

I escaped from Death today, 
And I don't know what to think. 
Because when Death comes round and round, 
you start to feel his scent and stink. 
There are others counting on me now.
I can't let them down, this I know. 
So close to Death and yet, so certain-
now

Accepting Who You Are

There's no denying of the struggle,
You feel when barely getting by,
But you will never see clearly,
Only using your eyes to cry.

All starting with one small step,
Encouraging belief everyday as you grow,
Embrace the pride you feel inside,
Even when your journey is slow.

Bringing inner peace to your soul,
Your thoughts will no longer scar,
Rewarding your efforts by enjoying

Embracing the Storm

I am the storm that lost its own rhythm,
laughter flaring, then burning to silence.
Your imperfections swagger,
and scars that tell unerasable stories.

Some days I am a solid stream, unbendable,
other days, a forest fire — wild, unrelenting.
I falter, I burn too bright,
but each autumn leaves a truth inside me.

If you read me in bits and pieces, raw

accepting nothing less than joy and love

four generations of beautiful women
each one a reflection of her older version
their eyes are the same, their complexions similar
their smiles identical

each one proud, but not arrogant

except for the baby, but her turn is coming

a tribe of strong, passionate, joyful women

Accepting Eternity

Mental alerts send shocking images,
Of an hourglass void of it's sand.
I glance down at my watch in confusion,
And see it's missing every hand.

Realization begins to dawn on me,
And I stagger under vicious blows.
I wonder if time is in suspension,
As my soul prepares for repose.

Internally it's an obvious struggle,
Some things  cannot be forgiven.
The amends I've

Accepting My Place

In my place nobody longs to die
but they don’t care to live their “like this”
In my place there’s echoes of silent outcry
enduring deaths slow burning kiss

In my place shattered photographs
of family and friends paint the walls
In my place scenes of long lost dreams
like spiderwebs hang in the halls

In my place there’s no gravity
keeping us tethered

Accepting Me

There are moments when l feel l don’t belong
Not singing in tune to the right song
Not dancing in time to the right beat
Not walking straight with my two left feet

When younger it bothered me
Thought someone else l should be
Now l know and love who l am
I no longer give a damn !
