Premium Member He and I '

I've often felt quite helpless..Although i would fight hard, against the ocean of life
With its often; errant strong surging tides.'
In twenty twenty five we saw Los Angeles
Besieged; many areas were set ablaze; a great
City upon its knees.' The factor of bad 
management of water not held in the
Ammount, that would really be needed 
when on it; services had to count.' Also the
Arsonists did their job, a nasty crew indeed
I like others felt asized, of the helplessnes
As the Santa Annas careened.' No respite
Came the news reports, I saw many people
Had died.' I sensed defeat and could 
almost taste the charcoal, it was fraught
; and yes I felt a tear in
My eye.. Yet all at once I thought of
 God.? who was bigger than any disaster..I said a prayer then put up a blog, and requested prayers to 'the only Master' others joined and but a day and night.? A sea mist rose and rolled in early light.' Then on this improvement rain arrived..The 
worst danger over and the remenant survived..'
Now i arrive at year twenty twenty six..A similar tale..My stomach felt sick twenty eight fires in 
Victoria my 'home State' hit Again not
Accidents all.. A lot i'd guess were lit.? I decided to ask the Lord again, wondering would He
Have mercy this second time my friends?
All un-worthy i appealled for help.' Others
Answered,  i continued and hoped.. For betters trends, again
Weather reports said no respite maybe dry
Lightening ( would more evil arrive? ) another day past I checked the news.' The
First I read was disaster.' My heart went to
My shoes..So my prayers were unaswered.'
Still i decided to look.' To face my chastisement and repent by the Book..Then I was shocked it was all turned
Around He had flooded out the fires people
Were heading for higher ground, 
All Praise throughout the heavens all thanks to my friends..Who with me had enjoined..And we saw Himself His Name defend.'

i'd wandered again staring 
into streams of livid pools waving 
raptures of rushing currents startled 
beyond such graveness however tempted 
to explore even more than before i'd missed 
your pondering about awaiting my dashing exit 

away from the flock that scattered sparingly 
my temperament craved so much more 
why the gravity along led me by surprise 
with curiosity and grace your demeanor 
seemed to shield my immature nature 
calmly beyond a single sphere a certain 

chastisement lingering gently between 
the stone pavement a white stick hidden 
gestures being heard only throughout 
the babbling brooks gnashing against 
large pebbles into solid foundations 
henceforth creating distance an yet forming
 
a pulley blending mind body and soul into 
thrashing madness mingling timelessly chafed 
and bruised chanting i'm back

Woman, I heard you
crying
whimpering like an
abandoned puppy
behind the bedroom door
and my
compassionate heart
broke in two.

The mighty hands
that had inflicted 
chronic pain
now distorted
arthritic, useless
disabled weapons
...lifeless duds,
yet throbbing
mercilessly.

Knuckles swollen
as big as macadamia
nuts, fingers 
warped
like barbwire,
no ass whipping
no pinching of flesh
no goose-eggs today.

I watched your
mouth twist
in agony 
no words
could come out
no chastisement,
no derogatory remarks
for my little ears today.

Just look at the 
deeply furrowed brow...
So pitiful, so wretched
tell me, did those tears
burn like acid
down those
bitter, cold cheeks?

I take no pleasure
in your affliction but,
woman man-up,
sister and I bore
the daily, horrid brunt
of your despicable
miserable life.

And please, please,
I plead
don't beg
for the doctors! 
let us heal
just for one day
let us experience
being happy
children
just for one day, 
we all know 
this arthritic pain
is bloody temporary and,
unfortunate for sis and I,
hell's door is weld shut.

More Than Gold

I was screaming....! Help me 
Jesus! Help me Jesus. My life was 
ebbing away. The two wires 
sunk into my fingers, sparkling 
and draining me dry! An itching 
surge ran through my veins. I 
felt so lifeless, I have never felt 
like that before. 
The currents hung unto me 
when I was about separating 
the wires from touching, the 
man at the generator ignited it 
at the moment and that was it! 
I could not be saved, nobody 
was ready to snatch me away 
from the fangs of death but then 
I heard mother scream and feel 
her thud as she rushed towards 
a dying me. She cared not to die, 
she pulled with every force in 
her and saved me.
I have ever nurtured the fact 
that she loves me not because of 
her constant chastisement but I 
know that day the worth of my 
mother. 
She stood by my bedside and 
prayed for my relief. The truth is, 
in my heart, she's more than 
gold.

Premium Member Forts and Castles


It would be bedtime, and I’d rise
Risking the possibility of chastisement
By the mother who taught me, with her smiles
That my reading Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden
Every book in each collection – the Hardy Boys too
Wasn’t just a trait passed down to me, to her pleasure
It was a trait she, herself, had spread – a disease
If not verbally, then with each moment she’d spent
Turning pages, lingering amid chapters of inspired
Dreams and imaginations, wanderings 
I’d come to accept as my heart’s blessing
And I’d rise, with the intent of going to my room
Where I’d keep a light beneath the quilts,
Consuming the words with a heart full of wonder,
A heart who would always see my own smiles
Reflected on pages filled with castles I’d hoped to build
Myself, and forts that found their way into my wishes

Mine is a heart filled with worlds that were not my own,
beneath the shadows of a warm quilt and sheets
who remember me… as that girl who found her home amid words
