Long Soberness Poems

WALKING ON WATER
	
Saint of the Golden Gate Bridge
they called her, blessing the
crowd with her tears, performing

to the cheers of the enchanted,
flinging, first her pink raincoat,
her high heeled shoes, fluttering

down like doves, dancing, twisting
out of her...

Squalidness—Squabbling squeamishly;
Scrutinizing stigmatized scandalization, substantially scarce
Sprightliness...skeptically surrendering
Shamefully—Scolded sardonically;
Snarling splenetically, severing sensibility, scowlingly simmering
Strenuously...sought survival
Sparring—Sinister sisters;
Seductively swiveling soreness, sarcastically snared, swirling
Storms...sporadically striking
Slowly—Sacrificing stories;
Scorching slanderous subversiveness, suffering suffocation
Senselessly...smoldering serendipity
Sinfully—Silent stranger;
Sneaking skillfully staring
Presumptuously—Pursuing pretentiousness;
Promises protruding pithiness,
Potential problems...penetrating
Frantically—Forsaken fantasizes...

Today I Had Such A Hard Time
School Was Too Much For My Mind
Tears Filled My Eyes
But I Wouldn't Let Anyone Hear My Cries
Additude Was Written All Over Me
Like Grafiti On The Window Sill That You...

When death comes, sordid, scary
I shall not fret, as others do be
I shall not be shaken, not in the least measure
But will welcome him with utmost pleasure
He shall sit upon my crouch
And beside him, I...

Highlighting the Lord God’s omnipotence
Bible stories expose His miracles
along His mercy’s faithful persistence
smiting torturous hatred’s tentacles.

Greatly enthralled by biblical events
my special child yearns for their retelling
animatedly done, no one prevents
his call for these chronicles propelling:

Creation...

The only thing that exceeded the dinginess of this rat-hole bar was its stuffiness. I
stopped in the place to make change for a parking meter just outside its door. God! It was
awful in there, and...

Today the blurry vision calls to her
Last night She drank too much
And to be honest, 
She doesn't know why
It was without reason
She awoke this morning and the air was screaming
at Her to breathe once more


And...

O sleeping souls arise, regain consciousness.
You are not too wrong to run, be relentless,
Stop suffering and smiling with seriousness
The Savior came to save us from this stress…

When you feel your world is worthless
And your persistent...

First man standing versus last man standing.
It doesn’t matter if you are living in a humble hut;
Just make sure it is built on the hills of honour.
It doesn’t matter if you are not impressing others;
Just...

I stand here in our drive
You said you were coming
But the clock now says 5
I’ve been here since 1

Something inside me churns
You aren’t coming
My heart begins to burn
And my emotions are unraveling

I thought you loved...

1. My life now’s not too spiritual although
I grew up Christian, for I do not go
to any church. I really do not care
about religion. I believe in prayer!
I talk to God and Know that He...

On the field of battle,
Young brave and strong,
We are stripling warriors,
Ready to bring it on!

We are fighting the darkness,
Piercing through with truth and light!
Charity is our standard,
Faith, courage and commitment our delight!

Captained by our King...

A Cynosure of Sadness

As gun has that sense of humour in the trigger,
It triggered my mind that I clouded darkness in your happiness with sadness,
Sadness that is brewed from failure to curb the vase of...

Death...Body

The inevitable beast, embodied

Weapon for the evil

terminating missions, end a message

Keep all

Waiting for another messenger



Death... It always leaves a void behind

The means to escape live's torture

For the good

Every lost a vision end, blurred

Revision all

Alteration, new...

Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam, 
Adam. 

I do not feel any way about you with poetry -- 
other than it is my experience with you that 

You do not read much of it
At least you do...

Drunk is the man, 
Who gave me the roots of my existence
In this harsh, cold and dark world...
For instance,
He beats up his so-called darling heartbeat
To a pulp, saying she's not caring about him
Yet he spends...

Innocence
Never twisted guilt
Soberness, simple minded 
Heartfelt
Young eyes blinked, bashfulness 
No such things as monsters

Sleep tight
Sleep tight
No such things as monsters

Years dawned on
Mascara dripped
Troubled eyes
Losing hope now
Childhood days, fade away
They take me into darkness

Turn on the...

In your fury you were consumed
Torched by the might of your hand
Locked away in your shadows
By a strange rage that took hold of you
I want to cover the blame
For you acted in the cloudiness of...

A persistent dream
Where all my family
Anyone ever born
In my blood line 
Is sitting
Waiting for me to wake up
in my living room 

Thousands of cousins, grandparents
and second moms 
A Fleet of similarly composed individuals 
Kiss and...

Errors of our ignorant past
 burried in the coffin of soberness
 and thrown into the pit of forgiveness
 but as we journeyed through life with prudence
 you then exhume as a terror 
chasing our hope...

How you acquired your soberness,
 is a fantastic thing…

To go without hesitation and guarding
 yourself from want, this isn’t as easy 
as one might think…

I am sure of this, as I hear this from you,...

I'm controlled by a liquid substance called alcohol
Throughout my life this addiction has been my downfall
Missing out on quality time with my family so I can go drink instead
Waking up plenty of mornings thanking God...

Forgotten old time of sinful life
As I boldly stand with shinning lights
Then my lamp filled up in Holiness
As my oil is sustained by faithfulness

Period of darkness lust and vice
Lost forever and never will it be...

When everyone is taken care of
When the arguments have died down
And soberness is coming into view

I let my heart breathe again
Collapse into my own little world
That's where I find you

My spirit is restored
By the words...
