Short Letting Down Poems

this is the moment after the loss,
the garden as heavy as a standing horse,
as a frozen moon hangs like a buoy at ebb

north is the direction of winter,
a stripped.down world before the crawl

i hear your letting down of the shutters,
your steps tired up the stairs...

Love has brought us to new heights
places never seen before
reaching goals set
 It has also brought new low
roads long ago traveled
will be revisited
 Love has blinded me
into letting down guards
my nightmares are before me
 Innocent as a dove
a snake is due to dine upon me
wiping me from existence once again...

Prone to portray an image to have it all figured out 
Externally put together while internally pulled apart 

Ready to take off armor and start letting down guard
Reinforcing interior instead of constructing a façade 

Possible to flip the script to stop putting on a show
Displaying my mess instead as an opportunity to grow...

The more you let down your
Guard,
Take off your mask,
And
Share your struggles.
The more God will be able
To use you in serving others.
God will use you wherever
You are,
However He can,
Whenever He wants.

If we believe in God with all
Of our heart and soul.
Then we have made the 
First Step…

Summer days 
Just thinking of you
Just being alone
Not being blue
Going swimming
In a small lake
Thinking of love
Trying to bake
Watching the sun
Come up and go down
Signing my name
Wearing a gown
Calling my friends
Talking for hours
Making funny faces
Taking hot showers
Looking pretty
To go somewhere
Making strange noises
Letting down my hair
So, these I have loved
And will never forget
The games of love
The people I've met...

Sheets and bolts of distant lightning
Backdropped by a blue gray sky
Rumbling thunder softly, deeply
As the steady pitter patter, pitter patter
Of rain on a tin roof fluctuating
Playing symphonies to the soul
With natural melodic choruses
And invitations to the Ancient dance
Of wind-driven clouds sweeping low
Whirling visions and peace of mind
To a captive audience within
Letting down their windows
Falling, lying with ears to the floor
As the rain echoes throughout the house...
