Loose Change

I know the path
But I’m in chains
I’m restrained
My soul is in captivity
My days consist of drug-induced activity
To know and not do is insanity
I watch my life pass before me
It's vanity.

I know the Truth
It’s right in front of me
But to grasp Its’ power
I find none of my own

I am not proud that I blow clouds
And I’m in a daze
I sit in smoke filled rooms
It’s like being lost in a maze

Like coins in my pocket
I spend my life on menial things
I live like loose change
Sadness is what it brings
What will I have to show for the life I’ve spent
My time is lent
I do not own it

My world is small
Each day is predictable
My addictions runs deep
I think it’s despicable
I stopped resisting
Now I’m merely existing
And I watch my life fade away

I want to be free
I want to spread my wings
Fly like an eagle
So strong and so regal
I want to reach heights beyond my limits
I want to soar on the wings of His power
Hour by hour
Ascending higher
Becoming stronger
Redeeming the time
Live a little longer
And trust in the One who knows me

I want to make wise choices
And drown out those voices
That has controlled my thinking for so long
I want to belong
Sing a new song
Right all my wrongs
While I yet have my breath

I want to go the distance
Finish the race set before me
Overcome the odds that are clearly against me
And reach my destiny
Until Heaven becomes my home

I want these chains broken
And my enemies choking
From words of Truth I proclaim
I want to achieve victory in His name
I want to live for His glory
Be powerful proclaiming His story
I want to witness prisoners set free
That they too may spend the remainder of their change
Living for another
Helping each other
Until the sand in the hourglass runs dry
And true life begins

I want out of this pit
I want to stretch my arms
I want to reach for the sun
With children beside me
All the ones born from my obedience
Its expedient

But as of now there’s a Voice
That speaks ever so softly
Is that You that called me?
I can't imagine why
My life can testify to the fear of You not speaking
And like a dripping faucet
I’m leaking
One drop at a time
Spending nickels
Spending dimes
How much change do I have left?
Only God knows

No Regrets

You wanted to have me as your girlfriend
Knowing that I was saving my body
For the man should I one day wed

I am fifty-six years old now
And still never been married
But I continue to believe it’s possible

As a little girl I dreamt
Of marriage and true love
Not sleeping with a boyfriend

My dream didn’t consider
To settle and play house
With someone who I’d never marry

You don’t believe in marriage
Yet you want all the benefits of marriage
Without making the vows

But you knew from the start
Where I stood with my body
It wasn’t a subject to debate

You said you understood
And that you would respect my boundaries
So how come you began to complain?

We kissed and held hands
I was content with the exchange
But you kept saying, “More!”

Your balls turned blue and hurt
What’s that got to do with me?
I’m not the one to fix it

With a distorted face
Your preoccupation with sex
My need for the subject to change

“How about this…” I suggest
“Go take a cold shower”
And you took offense in that

But you lied to me
You got yourself aroused
And wanted to have sex regardless

You created the problem
And blamed me for it
But It was not my problem

You resort to watching porn
The volume muted on your phone
And think I’m stupid

Your preoccupation for sex
Your boredom with my company
The attitude that you’re being deprived

The distance you created
Miles away in your thinking
As you watch naked women on your phone

Shouldn’t I be the offended
You are already unfaithful
We haven’t even been together one month

Now I have a problem
It’s dealing with your ignorance
You didn’t keep your word

But I kept mine
And I can’t tell you how glad I am
For doing it

I would have hated myself 
If I gave in to your pressure
It would have been too late

You would have got 
The one thing you wanted
And I would still be unmarried

You wouldn't have cared
As I’m left with the emptiness
Of knowing I betrayed my self

We are no longer together
But I still have my virtue
That comes with no regrets

What this has done for me
Is strengthen my resolve
I didn’t sell out.

Even if I never marry
I will remain faithful to my promise
Knowing the treasure I possess.

I Have Known Pain

I have known pain.
How to hide it as I live with it
Stuffed down
The muffled sound
Of objections to be silenced
It's latent trait subject to violence

I wait for grey skies
And hope that it will rain
So that my tears blend in unseen
The unacquitted tears
From yester-years
A smokescreen
I struggle to see past the haze
It’s extreme.

I listen to music on the radio
My voice echoes to the tune
Melancholy melodies
That wrap like a cocoon
Distant and sad songs
I sing along
Side by side the words
That reflects my pain for so long.

Just like my childhood and my home
The silence of my phone
Strangely comforts me.
Familiar emptiness
Words I can’t express
Memories repressed
I sat there numbly.

Skillfully mincing
Words I don't feel
Meant to conceal
While voices in my head
Breath threats of exposure
- Relentlessly.
Where is the door to closure
I desperately need?

My pain and laughter blend
I wear a smile
I pretend
And no one is the wiser.
Pain settles like a geyser
Waiting to explode
As I fight the urge to give in and implode.
I runaway I try to hide
I don't know where to run to.

I long for grey skies
That speak of rain
Inviting pain
Like lover's
That cry in ecstasy
I give myself completely
So that my tears remain unseen.

Serial Killer

The great and never ending
Always pretending
To be that big f@@k of a presence
His essence too shallow
His steps too big
There's no rhythm
Just sweat
And odor

The mindless excursion
From thoughts of twisted perversion
The path is always crooked
The night is always deep
Dark and slippery
His stomach empty
He lurks…

Waiting

Broken jagged teeth
 Ripped flesh and bone
Traces of life
Gone
Gone
Gone

Shake Off the Dust

I'm a soldier that fought in a mindless war
A love and hate battle at Mount Gilgamor

We lost sight of the love and friendship once shared
A wasteland of wreckage now beyond our repair

It's hard to pull myself out from the under the ash
But life must be lived after love's burning crash

The sun will rise on the morrow's line
But today I must grow from this difficult time

Get up! Get up! Shake off the dust!
Onward dear soldier
Go forward and trust

Though Im tempted to stay and lick my own wounds
I will do what is right and give him his room

I wipe carbon stained tears and rise in acceptance
Determined to win and let go of resentment

If this new chapter is to start off right
I must choose my battles carefully before entering the fight

I polish my armor and head for the gate
The war in this life is to choose love and not hate.

The Mystery of Time When True Love Invite

The mystery of time when true love invite
The promise of full blooms response to the light
The way of an eagle soaring in flight
The joy of a blind man receiving his sight

The skill of a poet’s poem recite
The mystery of time when true love invite
The way that day turns into night
The romance a candle creates burning bright

The stature of a philly that reaches its height
The sword of the king placed on his knight
The mystery of time when true love invite
The victory of a warrior winning a fight.

The sound of a 357 chevy engine’s ignite
The joy of friends after time reunite
The way a students understanding enlight
The mystery of time when true love invite
