Premium MemberDivorce


"...But from the beginning it was not so".
Matthew 19:8b KJV.


Division   is sometimes necessary, but

IN   the beginning, it was not so.

Values   tend to fade in divorce, and

Ownership   seems to take precedence.

Religion   and faith often take a back seat.

Cost   should be calculated beyond 'dollars'.

Every   marital separation is unique.


Premium MemberOur marriage

I want to be loved 
not left behind every night 
your beer is priceless 

more priceless than love 
our marriage gone up and smoke 
hand to mouth you live  

scratching the surface 
separation of our hearts 
feeling unfulfilled

Premium MemberThat Night You Left

That night you left,
the rain came with a pelt—
an abyss in my heart,
a curse you placed from the start.

Hurt words, hurt heart, hurt soul—
an emotional toll
I buried deep
in hope our marriage to keep.

And with courage sparked,
I kicked you out in the dark
on a night wild with anger,
for the two of you to tangle.

And yet as soon as I did,
my heart bid
a return—
Has the lesson been learned?

The pelting turned to a cyclone warning,
heaven and earth aligning.
The whole world erupts to send me a message:
going back was not the right passage?

I woke in the morning to a daughter exclaiming,
“The cyclone was pushed back—
no longer on track.”

To a reframing of my life...
Until next time.

Premium MemberEmotional Separation

Emotional Separation

You and I are locked into a long life covenant with God
My emotions seem to be the only control I got
They say through the ups and downs love grows stronger
The more we learn about each other our hearts grow fonder
Throughout the years that hasn't been the case with us
Helping our love to grow is a topic we constantly discuss
I don't have anymore fight within me to try to win you over
The pain is unbearable when you give me the cold shoulder
I'm tired of taking the blame for your changed emotions
I can only be so strong while maintaining godly devotion
We're strangers when we are supposed to be lovers
My emotional separation is what you will later discover

Premium MemberThe Lifting Of The Veil

The lifting of the veil
a revealing of all that was concealed
some see beauty, others bewail
regardless of feelings all will yield
the separation has begun
from the goats and sheep
everyone get ready for the arrival of the Son
some will shout for joy, others will weep
a metamorphous is taking place
the Bride is making herself ready
we are about to gaze into His face
for some the price will be too heavy
prepare the way
for the coming of the King
there is no more delay
the trumpets are sounding
and the veil is lifting

Premium MemberCome With Me

Do not close your doors on your tears,
Spontaneous they are, let them flow.
Let your emotions navigate to your heart,
Do not stifle them, let them blow!
I caress your tousled hair,
To gather your tangible thoughts,
Please do not for a moment think I patronise.
I shall wait for eternity if only to hold your hand,
And guide you past this grief stricken life,
A marriage need not be a fixation for life!!!
In my arm I hold you, I know you belong to another,
When I kiss your lips, 
you dig your fingers into my back,
Push your body against me and bite my lips,
in reciprocation of my love,
I am intrigued by your quiet endurance..
Walk with me to that portal,
past which lie revelations of true love!

Come with me!!

Premium MemberHe's Gone

I do miss him now that he has gone
He finally left during dawn
To him I always was drawn
He made me feel a pawn
He left by the lawn
There was a swan
He’s don juan
I’m wan
Yawn

Premium MemberCyclical Dance of the Cousins

Dorrie Ann left Herman again.
It happens on a cyclical schedule.
October, January, April and July.
A quad-yearly thing.
We cousins take her in.
Knowing in a day or two Herman will show up.
Sweet, with candies and maybe flowers.
He will sweet talk her back home
because he is tired of frozen food.
Dorrie Ann could be annoying after the
second day but none of us know this because
Herman’s pattern is cyclical too.

Premium MemberOf Pews and Parties

The "Separation of Church and State",
it has become a heated debate.
Our founders imagined a separating wall
intended to be there shielding us all.
Some took the shield and made it a sword
so liberty for many would be ignored.

Christians have ruled these many years
losing their grip is one of their fears.
The liberal left and the righteous right
are engaged in this insidious fight.

The crux is abortion, marriage, race, gender:
where literal thinkers find many an offender.
No surprise when people say, "my faith is best",
while plotting to restrict beliefs of the rest.
