Daughter of the King

Daughter of the King

Young woman.....
You are 
First and foremost and always 
A daughter of the King....

Molded and created with 
delicate architecture and 
infused with notes of mystery 
and beauty, 
Fiery passions and gifts that 
slowly unfold
Like a flowers petals opening in 
due season
With the right amount of 
sunshine and rain
You bring vibrancy and color 
like lilies to a valley. 

You are a daughter of the King

Designed with the remarkable 
ability to give birth to life
A life that is every part you, 
every part of a man, and every 
part a unique creation
You are a daughter of the King
Designed to shine and bring joy
Your strengths to compliment 
and your weaknesses to be 
complimented 
You are not an accident  
You are not your past mistakes
You are not cell tissue
You are not what people may 
have called you
Labels they have contrived
Or grave abuses you have 
survived
Your name is not Stupid, Slut, 
Good for Nothing, Prude, 
Pathetic, or Weird
It is not Loser, Lunatic, 
Incompetent , or Waste of Time
It isn't Drama Queen, 
Desperate, or "be seen but not 
heard", 
Your name is Fearfully and 
Wonderfully made
Though
You may feel lonely at times
You're not Forever Alone 
Because you are Never Alone
You may feel weak at times
But you are not your 
achievements or your failures
You Are

A daughter of the King

You do not need to hide the 
delicacy of your femininity 
behind callous walls of 
protection
The King will watch over His 
kingdom 
And He will fiercely defend and 
provide just what you need
He knows every hair on your 
head, every desire and every 
dread
He knows and sees every tear, 
every frustrating sigh, and 
smiles at every victory. 

You are a daughter of the King. 

You are beautifully and 
intricately woven by the same 
hands that put the atoms and 
the universe in perfect order...
You are the apple of the 
Creators eye
Never duplicated 
Though some may try
Failing to see 
That they too are carved in 
uniqueness.
You are in this world 
But not bound by it
Given wings to take flight
To soar among the heavens 
From where your essence was 
breathed from

You are
A daughter of the King

Judas Kiss

The robbery of the soul...
The trampling of boundaries 
like a frenzied stampede of 
elephants..
The cutting of ties that bound 
us with reckless abandon.
 Emblazoned with it's name, 
PRIDE, across the blade,  
It's a slash to the face that 
stoically said "I do",
A stab to the back that never 
turned on you.
Face pale from the blood loss 
and from the fear of what is to 
come...making it hard move. 
Need a transfusion of Life....
This is not civility....this is not 
friendship....This is not who I 
once knew

Plastic bags and suitcases,
Shattered drywall and dreams,
Neon lights and breakbeats, 
Cold nights and empty sheets, 
nicotine and alcohol dreams, 
things are not what they 
seemed....

Trying to break the downward 
spiral, this wasteland is a 
strange land to me
We're not where we're 
supposed to be, you see

Just a thread of hope is all I 
asked for,
And I would have woven a 
beautiful tapestry to cover you 
with.

I'm sending desperate heavenly 
petitions in the middle of the 
night,
Eloquence is replaced because 
of desperation and urgency 
with wordless groans, 
The moans of a weary soul 
stuck in the pit of despair 
Hands covered in blood 
clutching my chest, 
The blade has run straight 
through the heart 
Et tu Brutes? 
The lack of rhyme or reason 
makes it hard to fight for 
breath
Struggling for gasps of air.....no 
air.
I refuse to concede my mind to 
the madness, 
To turn my heart over to a 
fallen angel feast as they have 
done already 
The unwarranted meal is no 
more,
I wait for the Sonrise to 
illuminate 
Because the reasons and 
chasms in between are great. 
The narrow road is treacherous, 
can't see through the fog
Ears strain to hear the voice of 
God.
Angels come dislodge the blade 
Before the poison of Bitterness 
begins seep through the veins. 
It's covered in deep red. 
Forged from dark depths, 
begging me to pick it up and 
wield it just the same for 
revenge.  
Rage and righteous indignation 
consume me and justify my 
desire to reach for it, 
But Devine Hands stay mine, 

"This is not the weapon for this 
warfare.....trust Me"

No answers or reasons...... only 
promises given 
That in this wasteland  
The myrtle and acacia will rise 
where thorns and thistles grow
Streams will flow from where 
desert winds blow
So that people may see and 
understand.....
Promises of Strength, 
Restoration
So carry on....
Diamonds are not made on 
white sandy beaches, 
And warriors are not groomed 
at their mother's breast.

Clouded View

Foggy morning 
Clouds
Who have left their home
On a suicide mission to kiss the 
ground
Before the sun breaks through
Dissipating and illuminating the 
unclear

Need Eyes from above to guide 
me through the unknown 
Peering through the dense fog 
Ears straining to hear the voice 
of God 
Hovering over the glassy 
stillness of the waters 
Whispering in the silence 
"This is the way....walk in it"
