Liquid Fire

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright
My love I anticipate tonight with much delight

Soft speech, smooth touch, the warmth of your body
More radiant than summer’s sunbeams, are you to me

Rouse my sacred womanhood with fire and flame
Throughout the night whilst I scream your name

My strong man, my loving man, my man whom I adore
Fulfill my deepest desires - give me more, more, more…..

Oh sweet incendiary show me thy art
Upon this gracious body and inside my heart

That thirsts of love with brim-filled bowels of fierce desire
That by mornings light I’ll have drained every drop of your liquid fire!

The Marvelous Young Man

Strange fits of passion have I known
And I will dare to tell
But in my lover’s ear alone is
Where my secrets dwell

A young man, stout of heart, and strong of limb
A strong hold on his affections 
The pleasure which there is in life itself
Yet, uncertainty in all directions

Though older than himself was I indeed
Twas a full twenty and five years
Brought hope with me and forward thoughts
To explore new and exciting frontiers

When really I began my purpose 
Was only to him to speak
Of remedies and of a cheerful hope
For truly as a companion I did not seek

But there we two were sitting in the shade
Fresh as green glistening at break of day
The birds were singing in the distant woods
While I, with him, had my way!

Three the Hard Way

There are three guys on the Chicago Bulls team who reign supreme
Also known as “Three the hard way”
These three guys together can whip any team they play
On any given day
There’s Mike, there’s Scotty and there’s Rod
The incredible man too
These are the guys who put on one heck of a show
Just to entertain me and you
I sat and watched them on Saturday night
Embarrass the Seattle Sonics
The whipping they put on those guys
Was nothing short of chronic
While walking off the Sonics floor
The commentator remarked that
“They were looking forward to game four”
I think the reality of the fact is that
They really don’t even want to play anymore
I believe this year (1996) will once again
Give the Bulls the NBA championship
And we can credit it all to Mike
The Rod - Man and Pip
Not to take away anything from any of 
The other players on the team
Because they all to their part, and put
Forth their efforts to contribute to the game
Alas, without Scotty, Rodman and Mike
Out there doing their “thang”
The game of basketball - as we know it is just not the same

Way Down Deep

Into the mystery of this heart which beats
There rises an unspeakable desire

To seek the place where passions reign
To escape this life devoid of joy or pain 

From isolation without end in sight
In radiant truth I dream each night

Of happier times we once shared 
For they, at least - showed me you cared

Sweet, sweet were those times my love
Alas, I will never know them anymore

My heart shouts out to me -“Close the door!”
This mystery has departed to return no more!

There Is Always Hope

How can God forgive me for all of the terrible things I’ve done?
When he made the ultimate sacrifice to this world 
By giving to us, His only son
When I think about Paul before 
God named him Saul and
All of the evil he committed towards Christians
By making havoc of the church, entering every house
And dragging them all off to prison
I know in my heart that it doesn’t matter
What I’ve ever been or what I’ve ever done
God has, for every single moment of my existence
Lavished me with His unconditional Love!

In (Timothy 1:12-16) Paul said that he was the ‘chief’ of sinners
Yet even so, God called him to become his most talked about minister
God used Saul to show us that we too, can be saved if we repent
Strive to obey our savior, and allow him to use us as His obedient servants! 

So, no matter what you have ever done,
In your lives, and  
No matter what you have ever been
Jesus Christ will always make it
So that you can always begin your life again!

There is always hope!

Thank You Father God

I thank you for loving me so much
That you gave your only begotten son
To come here and sacrifice himself for me
So that I might be saved and reborn
I thank you for this beautiful day
I thank you for your blue skies
I thank you for allowing me
To wake up this morning, alive
I thank you for giving me this day
The opportunity of free choice
To confess my sins and repent
I thank you for the wisdom, knowledge and 
Understanding for all of the time you’ve spent
On loving a ignorant, mindless wretch like me
To make me aware of and understand
Your unconditional love 
That you have for all mankind
I thank you for my parents, my siblings
My children, my grandchildren
My cousins and my friends
I thank you for your blessings
I thank you forgiving my sins
I thank you for your understanding
I thank you for clearing my mind
I thank you for allowing me  
At this time in my life
To be happy, healthy and wise

Life Is Such & Such Is Life

Methinks thou doth think too much
When such is life and life is such
Neither a borrower of others rhetoric
Nor a lender of the same be
Unlock the prison of your mind 
So that you can be free
Be unconstrained of human distress
Don’t dare dwell on your transgress
Instead go ye into the desert of your heart
And let the healing fountain start

By the Grace of God

By the grace of God,
I am free of my addictions
I am free of my afflictions
I am free to be the person 
That God wants me to be!
 
After being a drug addict for 24 years
After all of the heartache and the tears
After all of the strife I brought to my life 
After overcoming all of my fears
After beating my addiction and
Being clean for these past 15 years
 
By the grace of God,
I am free of my addictions
I am free of my afflictions
I am free to be the person 
That God wants me to be!

Wisdom

Seven years old, abusively violated!
Only useless refuse left after 
The extraction of my innocence
Live prey, left an empty shell!
Ten years old, 
Mixed with a blend of conflicting entities
Existing entirely as an irregular frail unit
Not speaking for fear of spasmodic hesitation
Fourteen years old,
Uncontrolled, self destructive, total hatred of self!
Frequent thoughts of suicide, gun in mouth, deeply absorbed
Engrossed even, yet can’t bring myself to surpass moral bounds
Fifteen years old,
Life changing event!
Pregnant! Devastated! Abandoned! Afraid! Alone!
Except for the baby girl growing inside of me
Nineteen years old,
Repetition of the previous age
None the wiser yet, 
But slowly receiving the understanding
Of the need to repent!
Immediately discovering the hope
Finally embracing the power and 
Experiencing the Grace of the Lord
Who said that through “Him” -
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Powerful Prayer In (Icu)

Waking up from being in a comma
In the hospital psych ward
I looked around to try and get my bearings
But I still couldn’t grasp where I was
As I slowly opened my red swollen eyes
To see exactly what I could see
I looked into the eyes of my sister
She was staring down at me
She called out my name “Tina”
More times than I could count
I could only surmise from hearing her voice
The times were an indefinite amount
I heard familiar sounds that 
I’d heard many times before
They came from my baby sister Jackie
She was praying for me right there on the hospital floor
I turned and I looked around the room
To see who else was there  
I felt like I heard prayers surrounding me
They were coming from everywhere
I looked around and saw my dad Jeff
And my Aunt Barbara and my Uncle Curt too
As if in sync, they all said to me 
“Tina, we are all, right here for you”
Those beautiful words I heard from them
Gave me the strength that day to want to stay alive 
Because they were in that room praying for me
I literally felt the presence of GOD!
Prayer is so very powerful and all I had left was my faith
To ensure that I would pull through
So I write this poem to thank God the father
My aunt, my uncle, my father, and Jackie
I especially want to thank you!
