Not Anne but Gabrielle

Not Anne, But Gabrielle
by Gabrielle Munslow

If you want me to take you to another time,
take my hand.
Don’t furrow your brow.

Slick with storylines,
my tongue twists
like an adder.

Poetry spills—
some good, some bad,
but always real.

I write of suffering.
I write of death.
I write of want.

No pretty, prophetic prose.
But I can still
slip a ditty off my toes.

I am Anne with

The Silence Beneath the Flame

For ten long years, I left no trace—
No words, no cries, no names to blame.
But now the silence stirs again,
And finds its shape beneath the flame.

They whispered truths that weren’t mine,
And carved in air what never was.
Not once they knocked, nor saw within—
They spoke in masks, without a pause.

Their eyes were fog, their voices sharp,
Their

Reclaiming the absence

To be a good father You already have to be a good man But apparently he couldn't be either guess it was just easier For him to be just like his father

Him being a black father Made it harder The stereotypes That followed him around That policed He probably internally agreed He felt it must've

reclaiming inner light

in this realm of fierce predators
name of the game: domination
out of place here seem love laced souls
blissful in staid meditation 

consciousness caged, heart contracted
as delusion of grandeur boasts
fanning fires of feral instinct
humans wander earth like lost ghosts

love’s the flame that glows in darkness
pausing the cause of tempests wild
know it as the light of the soul
sense

Reclaiming Worth

No one has the power to make you feel worthless
- so show them just that.
You’ve held that blade,
carving doubt into your skin,
like graffiti scrawled over your spirit,
letting others rule your heart
while you sat at rock bottom,
a prisoner to their judgments.
But the moment you rise,
you reclaim your power,
guarding it fiercely like a flame
that ignites from within.
Don’t

Reclaiming inner light

“Drop mind use heart truth’s then known ~
We’re love and light all home grown”
      ~ quote by poet


This form though dust is an urn 
To grow in love soul dwells here
Mind thinks heart loves can they merge
We know death looms thus fear spikes

Fate taunts we feel angst and dread
We strive

Blueprint of fingerprints and plans?

Do you remember ever holding your deeds.? Paper
Links to real estate freehold' an epitome; one seed.'
Of human independance.? Be that what it may be? In
A bundle of actions' often tersely displayed dotted
Lines on draughtsmans paper-like a greaseproof affair'
Pages upon pages quite a bundle i declare.' Swirls of
Trees there depicted solid lines for the boundries. Dotted
For

Reclaiming inner light

Made in God’s image, we are living light,
deep truth scriptures affirm time and again
but since ego has clouded inner sight,
lustful desires have not been to rest lain,
so we dwell in darkness, crouching in fright,
bound head to foot to a delusion-chain.
Silence shows the way how to cease to sway,
that we may see our true Self, clear

Reclaiming inner light

As mind-body grows, our soul knows,
truth of being, so gently flows
but then fears and desires bemuse,
so inner light no longer glows.

Succumbing to lower mind’s ruse,
we strive and toil, both win and lose 
but seeing how fickle heart sways,
such antics no longer amuse.

Choosing one day, to mend our ways,
we see how silence, dark fear slays 
and

Reclaiming Inner Light

Be it this or that, it does not matter
To our tranquil heart, pulsating with bliss
For we have gone beyond thought form chatter
In time dissolved peace, where nothing’s amiss

We would, if we could, transfer this rapture
But it’s something ego cannot capture
So we invite all to meld with the void
No longer by ego cravings decoyed

Reclaiming Inner Light

As we’ve grown, our joy has shrunk
and into despair soul’s sunk,
with head and heart in conflict,
constantly by conscience pricked.

Entrapped by desire and fear,
to us it is now quite clear,
that mere objects cannot yield,
pure bliss that makes us feel healed.

The way we then choose to start,
is to align head and heart
with the rhythm of love sublime,
finding

Reclaiming Bits of Eden

Some see a scrubby, stunted wood;
the pure heart sees a pond.
A vision cast into the could -
the gift to look beyond…

And though the plan has not converged
quite fully in my head,
I simply can’t resist the urge
to rend, uproot, and shred.

Reclaiming bits of Eden, I
clear out the brambled vines.
Creation and destruction, by
this, briefly are aligned.

Reclaiming Our Divinity

What is this strange place, we find ourself in 
Conscience deadened, embrace frigid, God hidden 
Trapped in the open, we are yet free within
Love suggestion, compassion but we do not as bidden 

Head and heart misaligned, earth entity suffers
Lower mind reigns, this gift of life in vain
Amiable but cautious, doubting ego flounders
Bound in chains, soul

Reclaiming My Time

Reclaiming my time

18 years spent wasting away
I’m a lost scavenger every new day
Time spent searching desperately
For new eyes to help me see
The key that will lock away the disease
I’ll probably never live a life at ease

Reclaiming my time

Time spent running around
When I should have stayed sound
To drift into space I am bound
I wasted all my

Reclaiming the Glory

They stood poised to rise like sons
A collective of kindred spirits to wars
From this squadron pose they chose
They rose to face their foes

Arise like thorns from bulbs arose
Thrust their blades into their souls
Of war cries and the songs of idols
Their fears worn like sculls on spears

Prayers like a kite to the heavens
Courage like feathers to
