Here we go again
Here we go again Back to chaos’ den Emotions stretched abound Spirits are being drowned Yet another test Stressed no rest Pressing my vest Nest of pests Nowhere to hide Noone to bride Embrace the tide Time to ride Living is ripping Praying for blessing Singing while stinging Bathing in beating We’ve been here before Scars from past gore Roaring while being sore Crying for no more Get used to the downpour We must make...

Thyself
Anxiety and shame riddled my youth and I just wanted to belong The desire to excel and conform was beyond measure The painful difficulties of youth are rarely validated Being told to follow your hero but blaze your trail Follow the shadow but color inside the lines Neverendingly seeking the rightly wise I finally woke up one day and...

Message To The Blackman
If slavery was a choice, as some have agreed, then what are we? If watching your father and mother endure rape or murder was a choice, Then why do we sit on idle hands, while Trump eradicates our posterity’s opportunities, As if they were written in sand? If not being able to read was a choice, Then why do you...

Premium Member Enlightenment in an instant
Held captive in space and taunted by time, impressions graze soul as senses entwine, where recognition dawns betwixt love’s chime, in that instant when head and heart align. Blink and we’ll miss it, that flicker in space, beheld if our ego, we but let go, whereupon the veil lifts admitting grace, revealing our being, pristine like snow. Soundless thunder rising from down under, lights...

Premium Member How I Look
I see how I look inside out, not how I look outside in. My Amtrak races between mountains and rivers, my traces, my inner spaces, my dawnings, my inner longings. I see how I look inside out, not how I look outside in. I leaf through fading pages of crumbling books bound with passion strings, broken by wounded fissures of regret. I see how I...

Premium Member Servant of Her Heart
Caged in the thoughts supposed to release her. The road to righteousness covered in stones. Falling over the master of mind lures. Her heart an afterthought; body on loan. Walks in the dark, candle lit in her mind. Chest flickering without the eyes aware. Shivering in absence of light to find, the key locking in this state of...

The road not ending is growing wider. Spreading all the way down and up again. Hot shovel digging and soaring lighter. Walking the straight line beginning amend. Each moment new and keep myself steady. No time elapsing and hold my heart true. The light not too bright; dark never ready. Nor to warm or too...
