Rise Above Rape

Can I possibly rise,
Rise above my rape?
When all I hear are cries,
And I feel I need to escape.

My mind has resigned,
Anxiety and PTSD is all that's left,
All my feelings are confined,
Its like I've been a victim of theft.

Theft that robbed my life,
And did so by surprise,
Always on guard,
It's now time to let go.

To let go of the hate,
And to let go of the guilt,
So I'm starting with a new plate,
Like a patchwork quilt.

To bring back hope,
And to alleviate pain,
So I don't focus on the slope,
Just focus on my campaign.

My life is not what it used to be,
It somehow opened a gate,
And I can at last say I'm free,
Free to be able to rise above rape.

Why Do I Love Thee?

Why do I love thee? 
You asked unto me, 
I love thee, 
Because of those eyes, 
You’ve shown me, 
To open my heart,   
To let love in, 
And to feel, 
The passion that you have, 
For me in those eyes, 
Gazed upon me, 
With the yearning, 
In my heart, 
Of lust and desire, 
Of hunger and excitement, 
Of heat and emotion, 
This is why, 
Why I do love thee.

Hands

I know in my heart,
The difference between,
What’s wrong and what’s right,
But it doesn’t stop the fight,
When I see in my dreams,
What I’m looking for,
I’m willing to go,
And fight that fight,
To find what it is,
That my heart desires,
My dreams are far and few,
But when I do,
They are always,
Of you,
I want to help you,
Overcome the pain,
Help you to understand,
The touch you’ve,
Brought to my hand,
The moment of which,
You brought hope,
To my life,
And helped me,
To understand,
What comes and goes,
From either hands!

Way Back Home

I've been trying to find my way,
way back home,
when you walk along,
this long dark road,
and no one is there,
to help carry the load,
you wonder why,
and start to cry,
as the pain inside,
decides to subside,
when life comes fast
and you choose a path,
you find in time,
that the path you choose,
will make you lose,
lose your place that,
you call home,
and think,
all I want to do, 
is just go home.

My Heart Is With You,

Wherever you may go,
My heart is with you,
And although I may,
Not be standing aside,
My heart is with you,
When times get rough,
And the road is long enough,
Always remember,
My heart is with you,
I love you,
And always will
My love comes from my heart,
So forever and always,
My heart is with you.

Our Love Forever Placed In Time,

Our love, forever placed in time,
Our hearts forever intertwined,
Like a silver lace vine,
each others hearts,
We keep and hold dear,
Love like this is never clear,
Even though we may not know,
What is planned for us,
We do know that it has grown,
Into something amazing,
Words cannot describe,
The way we feel,
So for you my dear,
Our love,
Forever placed in time.

Thinking of You

Thinking of you,
On this night,
Hoping everything,
Is alright,
Hope that soon,
You take flight,
To the world,
Of delight,
I know you,
Want to ignite,
With your fists held high,
At the bomb sight,
But, just hold on,
And one day it will be alright,
So just keep moving forward,
With your head up right,
I’m always here to help,
With those endless nights.

Ignited

Heart rate rises.
Body starts tingling,
You took our love,
And ignited the,
Passion and heat,
In our bodies,
The feeling,
Succumbs me,
As our bodies,
Flow like water,
Holding each other,
Close feeling the heat,
Our bodies start trembling,
And the passion overcomes us,
I call out your name,
Once again,
We are ignited!

Afraid

Afraid,
Afraid of living,
Some might say,
Live the life you want,
And be great,
For only you,
Can decide,
Afraid,
Afraid of loving,
Loving someone with,
Every breath you take,
Some might say,
You can’t choose who,
You love,
Take your time,
And let love find you,
Afraid,
Afraid of dying,
Taking your last breath,
Without living,
Without loving,
Afraid.

Once a Cousin

The hate he has,
For the man he thought he knew,
Once a cousin,
Now an enemy,
Through and through,
He won’t calm the storm,
As it is coming,
Not even the reign of god, 
Can control,
What this storm will hold,
For the enemy,
And on that day,
He will stand and speak,
Of the line he crossed,
And the man that he is,
To the man on the cross
