There he was still as a windless night,
As if adorned in the drapes of the stormy sky,
His shield covering the faintest shimmer's plight.
The candle held on to its whispering glow,
On the shores of the unending sea,
It held on in the ruthless wind's blow.
Why the ritual of protecting a such memory,
In the great winds of every new spring,
Having slightest the light of the star's treasury?
"It must live on in the dark, in the light,
It must live on in the sun, in the rain,
For she still lives, still seeks this sight."
Skulls and roses, skulls and crossbones, most of people who died alone.
Skulls in corpses, skulls in the living, ‘til they decompose, protection is what they’re giving.
Protect the mind, that tissue so soft, but easily shaken, easily sent aloft.
Protecting a soul, so sweet and tender, but nothing, not even nature, can live forever.
They give you medicine, sell you lies, say “this will make you better.”
When there wasn’t anything wrong with you, ever.
They give you Churches, where those skulls hide under dirt, and tell you to put their god first.
But for life, for creativity, for the freedom to be yourself, you thirst.
And you know your gods were there, holding your hand, first.
You know your gods created the skull that protects your beautiful mind,
the flesh that carries your soul so blessed by the divine.
Filled by gods and goddesses, your soul a creature unaffected by time.
A creature that’s had many skulls, lived countless lives.
And you will live again, another skull to protect your blessed mind.
little girl of about nine is running alone in the marathon
two or three older women decide to keep keen watch
protecting her as best they can without scaring her
A letter to my younger self:
Let your tears flow freely
Let them water every plant around you
Don’t be afraid to feel
Put up boundaries
As if they are a moat protecting a castle
Protect your heart
Pick your feet up and trudge through
The ice is slippery and your feet with freeze
But you can’t give up on yourself
You are perfect in your growth
I AM OKAY?
JUST DOING GREAT!!!!
WITH A HESITATION
YES, OF COURSE IN APPRECIATION
TAKING IT DAY BY DAY
GREAT HEALTH, GOOD JOB
NICE CAREER
FUNDS BUILT-UP
BUT, DOWN IN A SPIRAL
AS IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW
GOING ON PRETENDING
JUST MISERY AND IN SHAME
JUST PROTECTING A NAME

MISERABLY IN DARK PAIN.
THERE IS HOPE
THERE IS TOMORROW
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE IN PAIN

GOD GETS THE GLORY
HE KNOWS YOUR TRUE STORY.
For months you said you would break me
That was what you were trained to do.
I laughed at your confidence, the wall to my heart was secure!
We talked we teased we laughed, we enjoyed the company.
We learned about each other, we filled a certain need!
Was it all a game plan, just to prove your skills?
To hear me say "I love you", then move in for the kill.
Did I have to trust you, why did I have to care?
Did I have to love you. With a heart, vowed not to share!
I tried so hard to leave you, you would not let me go.
You pulled me back with promises..
All lies. I did not know. You sent.. "Our Song"
Hear the words, open your heart. let my love in.
Let me take away your hurt, let the healing now begin!
You ripped apart the barrier, came charging in my heart.
All that's left are splinters now, you tore it all apart.
You broke me, another war you've won.
I wish I could hate you. the pain put out the sun!
The barrier is back in place, made with bands of steel,
Protecting a shattered heart, that never again shall feel.
But an angel to me
I, a baby beneath your war-torn wings
Harboring me
Protecting a hatred so deep
So unbelievably deep
The grace of the heavens shimmer through your hair
But the darkness, oh
It landed on me
Your embrace ever warring with the emptiness that is me
Your baby, given his own world
Your heaven, a piece within your soul
A piece sold for joy
One smile
One true smile, all you ever dreamed for me
An indefinite loss of words
My lips curve
But the ever prevalent silence entertains
Your voice, but an island of sun
I shall forever enjoy
Forever unknown to me, those tears
Behind the galaxy in your eyes
The morning dew dripping endlessly
A day came the endless left you
Left you broken, stained in crimson
All alone, I lament
All alone, I shall finish your suffering
Though I mustn't even try
A mirage of smiles inevitably left behind
Forever dragging me down
I shall forever be your devil
For I love you, dearly
Your broken darkness, I will become one with hell
For I will let you see the gates of heaven
For only without I
May you find your own peace
"Priceless"
"Never take for granted for who you
cherish priceless in your life.
especially a friend that lives in your
heart.
sharing laughter with fun times knowing

Like the comfort of Jesus's arms
walking one through life's storms.
Like that of awakening to a Sun filled day.
Like that of a brother protecting a younger sibling.
Or a mother brushing your tears away.
Yes, safe is like feeling all is well when
things aren't going fine.
Yes, safe is what one feels when your
world turns upside down.
Safe I'd like to be in knowing that
feeling is jusst right for me.
I was just standing there alone
But you didn't notice me there
My thoughts were on home
But home was not in my stare
You couldn't see me
Amongst all the trees
Their many branches were plenty
All so unique except for their leaves
There were no trails to be seen
Or paths to be taken
Just trees before me
No light to be seen
Just the forest before me
Like a wall of timber
Protecting a secret
Protecting a secret way to see
You didn't see me standing there
You missed the moment that I took
A step to the left in the right direction
I changed my angle of view
My picture changed
But I was alone
All the trees lined up in rows
I saw a path toward light, I froze
You were not there
To see the light
The light that shown through
Now I could see the forest
Through the leaves
Before I couldn't see it
Because of the trees
I heard the scream fill the air,
Your fear ripped and spilled out on this quiet night,
Hanging loud in the air,
Out of the closed window it flew,
to my ears and I knew,
I heard the scream fill this night,
a child's roar,
not in delight,
more of fear and dispirited powerlessness,
Protecting a mother,
with no other way,
no muscles yet to push your words away,
I heard your scream,
I know what to do,
Red light,
blue light,
is going to be coming for you,
The message is sent,
loud and clear,
I took an oath,
one that i hold dear,
to protect and defend,
In the darkest of nights,
I know no fear,
except what if it was not my ear?
Will there be another to help you,
in a quiet way.
No more scream on this night,
sleep easy little one,
always hold dear,
there are angels at night,
they don't always show that they are near,
to do that which is right,
regardless of the deal.
Love don’t come easy
Its so hard to under stand
When love is blind
You cant see what lies are in front of you
All can see right threw the fake smile
When love is blind
You see only what that love wants you to see
And believe be it good our bad in your eyes
There is no right our wrong
Love don’t come easy
When you find your self defending
And protecting a love thats known
To all as blind sided
When love is blind
You tend to look at the bright
Side for the dark is hidden
From your heart in fear of been
Discovered as fake
Love don’t come easy
When love is blind
Soldiers
Protectors, peacekeepers, sometimes quiet, always strong
Fighting for the cause, the promise, democracy, the freedom for all
Paying with life and limbs, saving broken people
But ever more standing tall, standing strong
Soldiers for our past, present and future, in spirit and combat
Defending with God’s thunder and strength
Giving it all, everything of you, sacrificing time with family
Fighting, protecting a foreign land,
full of enemies, catastrophes
No matter what always taking a stand
Fortifying the right to live safe and free
Over here and across the sea
Sacrifices of great men and women
So we can do the simplest things
You give it all, standing tall, in a blazing sun
Tropical lands and events of nature
In times of peace, in times of unrest
You are there for us, for them answering the call
Instinctively, brave men and women giving your all
Naked
Unarmed I stood against the beast
Defending what was mine
The theft of my guileless innocence
His most cruel, remorseless crime
Fighting slings and arrows
Words that cut me to the quick
Lifting thin arms in resistance
To his heavy, brutish fists
Sorrow comes in darkness
Arrives without an invite
The moon stares dully at me
No magic will save me tonight
Measured unforgiving blows
He chose where each would land
Dark purple bruises gave away
Where my body had been slammed
With my knack for weak excuses
“I tripped and fell down again”
He sneered that they’re “just love taps”
While I played a game called ‘pretend’
Naked in my bed
Protecting a child yet unborn
Came another beating
From this cur who’d earned my scorn
What cannot be seen in shadows
Can suffocate one’s will
When I reclaimed my spirit
I crawled out of the mouth of hell
Ages have come to pass since then
The fiend at last routed from my life
I’m no longer frightened
Of just being someone’s wife
He said to her
i will wait for you
walk a million miles
swim muddy waters
dive the highest high
take a blow and die for her.
chase a rowdy crowd for her
fight a stronger fight for her
loving every hair of her
beat the coldest blizard
guard every in round her
i am a protector
running all fields
from green to brown for her
stand in a shadow
leap for a far for her
for her is my life
i will stand tall for her
breath in all air
if danger is near
roar and scare harm away
Im the beast with loyal
oh such face
in my way i will chase
protecting a love
this mother so strong
