As I look back, I know when
we drifted
Though faulted with being
believed
Trust this, I emptied my soul
Holding will destroy your soul
Forgiving myself first, open
door to be free
Forgiving mom, allow healing
can't you see
You missed real love Mom
shared
Forgive is to heal , so life
enjoyed
What Happened
When will your excuses stop
Mom waited, you lost
I believe you like this life of
dark anger
I miss mom, we enjoyed life
What happened decades is unspeakable
Survivor I am, not unspeakable
Your emotions embarrass
mom
Sadly you couldn't enjoy mom
Treating everyone with cold attitude is lonely life
Thanks for the lesson, my peace always win fight
Sisters are supposed to secure generation
Loosing parents, and siblings build new foundation
You and I can't fulfill these dreams
My heart has finally healed a past pain
I will plant new beginning with amazing mom
Life is a gift to love, grateful, share, teaching not chop up
I'm not perfect, but I gaining my inner faith, hope, and love with kindness From God
Wish you well Sister

Sometimes I'm sweet sometimes I’m sour
I am of seed and purple flower power
I can be crazy while same time sane
Tis God who gave me eccentric brain
I don’t do horror too sensitive
Because tomorrow I’d rather live
Watching good things having good dreams
Instead of the flashbacks haunting me
Flashbacks of trauma from the past
Of pain and drama of a molesting dad
I am not bitter and I love him so
Dead now forgive him as I long ago
I’m a blackberry short and sweet
I chose to be merry I am unique
Like vitamin I carry love so deep
Like magical fairy I’m stigma free.
Fleeting Petals of Eternity.
Please don’t confuse our precious moments,
With faithful hopes of Eternity,
For I am just like the petals of a flower,
That bloom and cry out with vivid colours,
and then gently one by one,
Let go,
and slowly drift with the wind,
Drifting joyfully,
Until I can be found no more.
For we touch,
In vivid dreams, that flower at night,
and as Earths Golden Healing Light,
Streams in,
Through cracks in shabby curtains,
We dance,
Bare feet touching autumn leaves,
And swaying trees,
Wave in a million autumn colours,
For as summer slips with dignity,
Gently away,
Life slowly drifts,
into a deep night of sleep,
With dreams of dazzling sunlight,
Flickering across wide open,
Summer plains,
With Quite whispering songs,
Telling of stories,
Of when spring will come again.

Free love
I am entrenched in this silly little thing called love, called life, called hope.
Things that once flew by me like the free bird I've become to know of you as.
Your soul has me intrigued in all ways.
For all ways, I will cherish you like a precious stone.
You are the home I've been searching for, forever I did roam searching. For you...
A yarning I have not felt before. A yearning for your everything.
Once I did hope to understand
why the caged bird sings,
now i know.
You have freed me.
You are me
This is us
Eternally
Free now...
As she moved in the cramp, dingy, damp space
her heart pounding, her muscles tightened with fear
All she knew she had to do is find the key to room 54.
When her eyes could weep no more, she could only feel anguish and hurt somewhere in the distance, she hears her witch sisters cry
All the comfort you are looking for is in room 54.
She found herself drowning in self-doubt
for all around her were people who practiced hate and loathe
And again, she could hear those wild mustangs in her head say
you were born free, find your freedom in room 54.
Years and years of conditioning and pleasing
Broke loose when she finally realized
Room 54 is not a place that can be touched or lived in
It was inside her.
Then her chains broke free
Her witch sisters swirled to the melodies of the woods
the wild mustangs finally rode into clouds of glory
And she never needed the key to room 54.
Proclaimed the poster
stapled to the side of the old barn,
its bold, bright colors in stark contrast
to the faded paint of the cladding.
The tear-off tabs
hanging below the poster,
each with a bright pink heart upon it,
flutter in the hot desert wind.
Some had already been taken,
leaving empty gaps,
like missing piano keys,
a tune
never to be played again.

Our love grows,
not within four walls
but in the lands of glimmering oceans.
I want to live with the comfort of the blazing hot sun on our necks,
or the cold bone kisses.
I want to be scared with you because doing things that scares us,
builds us.
And what a way to be build away from the land of the greedy.
I say
( be naked when we dive into the ocean- vulnerability is what built
the earth).
- The green bindings of love.

Am writing a love song
to sing in key
My love for you
Ever free.
To sing song loud
To sing song strong
In hope that you
Will sing along.
Heart beats keep the song in time
Melodies redefine
Lovers swing where we recline
Duo waltz divine.
Am writing a love song
To sing real slow
Harmonise high and low
Softly sing then much gusto
Chorus skipping allegro.
Long notes hold a heartfelt tune
Cradling clear cadence croon
With you my dear my honeymoon
Songs we sway and swoon.
The world has fashioned ways
to put you under me...
I want you to know
that's not the world I see.
I see you as you are
as all that you can be
within a bond
in which both of us fly free.
Let's just be together
in a way that works for both...
birds of a feather
flying where we each need to go.
Anyone who said that life is easy
had his head stacked full of rocks
and the cranium he wandered in
was full of empty talk.
In this real world we inhabit
I can't contain your love...
any more than I could a serpent...
or a flying dove...
so I don't even try.
I love you as you are
like I do a flying bird...
as I do a star...
I see you as you are
as all that you can be
within a bond
in which both of us fly free.
Let's just be together
in a way that works for both...
birds of a feather
flying where we each need to go.
Land of the Free
Oh! Thou sweet land of the free, ????
You paved the way so others could find their ways
Where men of letter fought for a better day,
And find solutions without delay.
Oh! The first daughter of Africa ????
Your children lied in a chronic state,
as certain 'negatives' have long assumed the
roles of 'positives' in their internal system,
And the govern has become ungovernable.
Oh! Belove mama Liberia ????
Your children are ruled by People who only let their bias egos and emotion speak for them.
People who cannot address their fellow people without reading it from the papers!
Every word they say is what their hearts never possessed nor desire.
Oh! The first star of the white man's grave????
Agony has become the crying concern of your children,
Crying for liberation in the hands of the oppressor
Their cruel wicked hands have turned our situation into a desperate one
Oh! Mama, you children can't bear it any longer????
They are now surviving instead of living,
Should they die hoping for better days,
Or keep surviving the horrible ways,

Should we write in form to make a shape
Or let our minds run free, associate?
Such tangled webs within the mind are draped
Oh, to run as free as antelopes
But from sharp tigers noone will escape
Can we control , disarm within a shape?
Love’s enacted falsely , making rape
Inside our hearts shall we recover hope?
Such tangled webs the curtained mind creates
Round the marbled minds we half dazed traipse
Wherever we go hunting, we’re too late
Can we control our fear within a shape?
Collapsing faith cracks , can we concentrate
Or from the deal , do we dissociate?
Such tangled webs of mind make ripe our hate
Now sex compels but will can’t procreate
Can kindness smile and friendship instigate?
Should we write in form when we love shape?
Our mingled maps of mind might mangle fate
I wanted to give you a kiss
But as drunk as I am, I might miss
I wanted to give you an hug
As soon as I get up from the rug
I wanted to give you a poke
But Droopy sure looks like he's broke
I wanted to give you me - but
You know nothing of value is free
Where are you tonight
Are you feeling the love,
I just want to know that you feel the warmth
Even if its not in my arms,
I want to know you're happy now and satisfied,
I am glad you experience life
And you explore the ride,
I have no desire to keep you tied down
Your freedoms yours to express
I won't make you drown,
In a sea of jealousy and insecurity
I am happy as a spirit you fly free
And I am honoured you always return to me,
With a love greater than others could believe,
So I just hope that the time away feels good
Because we both know that it's understood,
That experiencing everything in life
Is your right and my delight
So my thoughts are with you tonight,
I love the sparkle I always see in your eyes
And being honest means no need for lies,
We share a love than no one can deny
Or ever take away,
Because you fly back to me each day
For you are free and not a slave,
To our love.
