My wife and daughter
My heart overflows with love for you both,
My wife, my partner, my rock of both.
In you, I find my home, my peace, my rest,
My love for you is truly unsuppressed.
My daughter, my angel, my joy, my light,
You fill my days with pure delight.
Your smile, your laughter, your sweet innocent ways,
Bring joy to my heart and brightens up my days.
God, in your wisdom, you've blessed me so,
With a wife who loves me, and a daughter I adore.
I thank you for your love, and for watching over us,
For in your care, my family finds true happiness.
My wife, my partner, my love so true,
With you, I know life will always see me through.
Your love, your support, your kindness so kind,
Makes my life complete, and leaves me feeling so aligned.
My daughter, my little one, my heart's delight,
You are the joy of my life, my shining star so bright.
I promise to guide you, to love you, to be there for you,
Through every step you take, and every challenge you pursue.
To my wife and daughter, my heartfelt embrace,
I love you both more than words can ever replace.
In your eyes, I see a love that will never fade,
A love that I cherish, and a love that will always sustain me.

Birthday Gal
You plan a day and never know
Exactly how that day will go
For glitches happen, even though
You’ve tried your very best.
Yet when all aspects seem to flow
And happy moments start to grow,
Your spirits soar and make you glow,
In every way expressed.
A view more lovely than Van Gogh
And non-stop wishes all bestow
On me, the birthday gal, a show
Of joy that’s unsuppressed.

Have You Seen Me
My eyes are green, but dimmer than they used to be.
I'm Caucasian, but my skin's stained dirty.
I used to be only four foot three
with ten extra pounds, but now I'm too skinny.
Have you seen me?
With shaky knees, a camera records me
at a far-from-home gas station lobby
as a stranger holds my hand so I can't flee.
I pray to God that someone will save me!
Have YOU seen me!?
What I've had to experience no eyes should see.
Blood-curdling screams were my helpless plea,
as utterances received more cruelty.
I used to be unsuppressed and free.
Have you seen me??
I'd plot my breakaway to no avail daily,
but one day he dozed off while watching TV.
Intoxicated, he unguarded the key.
Scantily clat and hungry, I fled frantically.
HAVE you seen me?
I ran like that dream when my legs are like jelly,
lacking muscle tone and stability,
but I wasn't far from the public library...
Now I'm re-united with my family.
Have you SEEN me?
It's difficult to live with my reality.
I visit a therapist regularly.
Friends took a while to recognize me...
...now five foot four, once four foot three.
Have you seen ME?

Peccant Words
Peccant Words
Written: by Miracle Man
4/20/2020
Peccant words should remain unspoken,
and unsuppressed thoughts are just the same.
Many, let words fly, and hearts are broken,
* but it’s the heart, not mouth that’s to blame.
Sometimes Satan tempts us with certain things,
but temptation becomes sin only if we surrender.
When God sees surrender, our witness He hamstrings,
And in the eyes of others we’ve become a pretender.
* Matthew 12:34 (KJV)
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

We Are Nasty Women
We are Nasty Women
When we hear haughtiness, we name it
When we see bullying, we blame it
We are Nasty Women
We do not daintily defer
For selfish whims of a saboteur
We will not walk three steps behind
We will not sheathe our sharpened minds
We are logic's clear eloquence
We are unyielding consequence
We are Nasty Women
We are out of many, one
We are the soldiers of every war
We are astronauts and commodores
We are the activists of plundered Earth
We are the executives who expect our worth
We are the advocates of facts, unsuppressed
As we walk the corridors of Congress
And we are far from done.

Mosiac Black Panther
Mosiac Black Panther
There is a mosiac black panther caged in my warm breast
Does what's his name even have a clue there's a yearning in my brain I know?
For a long endless time of mine, know what it is that drives him as though
Forward or backward in a long relentless of yearning of quest.
His silent rage had ballooned into an unrealistic unknown unsuppressed
The unperturbed fibers of those stealthy feet that surely walk and go
Over and over my body feels like it's in a prison coming to and fro,
Within these walls it's forever trying to continue to reap with much rest.
All through the day I at times feel him living in my hardened of heart
But as the night sets forth, its becoming to bring his dreams and stars,
And in a hesitant inexorable moment of frenzy it alas awakes:
His violent wrath trembled and hurled upon the steel bars.
His long eternal passion stretches me beyond and sweeps me apart
Then after I lie in subliminal bliss as my whole body skillfully shakes.

Illuminate
I dreamt I wept during a breathtaking sunrise, but I had
Laughed when I shivered close to you during a sunset.
Love, your brown eyes are like a chocolate box.
Unsuppressed sentiment for each other,
My destined serenity . . .
Intertwined in your mind--
No one imagines you smiling more then I ever could,
Adieu to shadowy fears.
Tomorrow is another day to look forward to,
Endlessly embraced by you.

Imagination
IMAGINATION
Have you ever envisioned a purple moon
or snowflakes in the month of June?
Do you see funny faces in the evening clouds
or alien beings in the holiday crowds?
Can you fly like birds on high
by imagining yourself in the evening sky?
Can you swim the sparkling oceans blue
with whales and dolphins as your trusty crew?
Have you ever burrowed deep within the earth
to witness the molten crusts fiery rebirth?
Can you cure a deadly disease
with a simple touch and gentle squeeze?
Can you teach love and trust to others of your kind
with words of wisdom that soothe the mind?
Can you see the future on the surface of a quiet stream
and ride through the night on a single moonbeam?
If you are lucky enough to be so blessed
with imagination unbridled and unsuppressed
Oh what a fortunate soul you are for sure
As imagination is a gift so pure

Catch My Flow
Catch my flow
my spiritual analogy
my emotional flowery
the rhythm that breeds in me
that create such pleasantry
catch my flow
the energy that sears
as I calibrate and change gears
a groove that tantalize
a beat you can't revise
catch my flow
as I swerve towards that space in time
that makes my beauty so sublime
a gracefulness so unsuppressed
it shows the world that I am blessed
catch my flow
as my movement bears witness
to a rhythm that's all my own
and my mind travel the distance
to that place in the unknown
catch my flow
to be what I am
and to know what I know
to have what I have
you've got to
catch my flow
