16 Days

Why give up 16days 
To places and faces love forgot 
To the prescriptions of sorrows choas begot
To the floods of humiliations inspired by turbulent times 
To anxiety dangling on a ledge tormented by the exhaustions of fears 
To the falling screams draped in tears 
To the insulting insults 
To the threatening threats
To the vicious mind exploding beyond the persuasions of descriptive descriptions 
Describing reasonable reasons 
To the scattered seeds of rage that sprouted and endured flowers of discrimination 
To the 16seconds wisdom could not find 
Cause morals were pireced by shouting fences concertined by boundaries of intimidation. 
To the 16mintues of conceived deceptions that latched on to throats 
And swelled fists into bitter knots 
To the 16months of excuses and unhealing apologies silenced by mass graves of secretive secrets concealed in the terrors of abusive tombs. 
To the grieving mind 
16years later on 
Still littered with fractured memories
That remain removed from the cools of 16 being the sweet age that compels penetrating dialogues of Social maturity and justice 
16 longs to be social aware 
16 craves for responsibility 
16days will 
usher in 16nights
To find what can never be lost  
To Remember what can not be forgotten, 
To Speak what has never being spoken,
To be reborn and love what was never loved
To Reveal 
what needs to heal 
Cause brutally and violence are obligated to intervene 
Were thinking is virtually too frail to convene

My Gift From God

My gift from God
leaps you mold
In my womb your brief abode
Prompts the love we share
Essence of God's love
A golden rose is my care
Sealed with infantry chuckles
Cherub Smiles
Button nose cute
Disrupted flute
From fragmented tears
That bow down your eyes
Bruising
Bemusing
The more frequent your cries
My gift from God
Conceiving you immense pain told
Your worth marked by every stitch
My joyful bead
Clover seed
Your razzling sounds
Delightful bubbles
Teething dew
Pacific, calm you lay
With you tiny fists balled
Your purdy belly
Your gentle laughter that strokes
My face
Your supple skin
Inviting lips
Adorable to kiss
One moment away from you
And something feels amiss
My gift from God
Your ignorance
And Stubbornness frustrates me
Hated delivering you under such
Circumstances
Loved knowing I would LOVE you
Unconditionally again and again
Hated how the man I loved
suggested 'abort my love'
? @! # confused then
Joyful today that I never aborted
Loving you
My gift from God
Scars you bring home
Bones you break
No sense of danger
Risks you take
Your health that falls and fails
On certain days
And eventual nights
O Dear
O Lord
Makes me loose my mind
Yet that strengthens the bond
And scars of love we share
