The Gift


It was a very cold, wet and windy night, Winter was in and Summer had just left. The days were short and the nights were long in her tiredness she reach for a pen and began to scroll words of great sorrow. By now Patrice was quite familiar with the signs and symptoms of pain she knew far to well the games it played. Pain had a way of stealing your witts and consuming your joy. After Stephans departure and her new found relationship with ' Christ', she had vowed never to return to the land of eternal sadness. Her life had taking a turn for the best and as much as her days were at times filled with daily trials and tribulations through her friendship with her Saviour she is now able to face her enemies and trials with confidence, hope, joy, forgiveness and faith. As her 'Saviour had promise her ,' Tears will be wiped away and replaced for the joy of the Lord'.

Lamentations 3:58

' O LORD, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life'.

Tormented Soul

You know what you have done

Our story has been told

Your abusive ways and devious crimes are written online.

Years has passed

Time has healed

Words were inspired and the most high has shield.

Children have grown

Bruises have scared

But the memories will remain.

Your adulterous ways

Bigamist crime are not ours to forgive

Tormented soul, I cannot judge.

I shall refrain

These crimes of yours are not mines to forgive

Time has pass

The hurt is gone

The pain has subsided.

Tormented soul your words are untrue and unkind

You need to recollect, it’s time to accept

Your lustful ways

Deceitful crimes have brought us all nothing but shame.

Tormented soul you need to repent

These words of yours shows you are in pain

Your perverted ways are written on the wall of fame.

Tormented soul you need to refrain

Years have healed

Time has pass

Wicked deeds never do last

The children and I are now free from the pass.

The Spirit of Lust

Do you know her

I need to shame her

Hungry eyes

Lustful soul

Swift to mischief

Slow to think

Wanting heart

Devilish ways

Mother nature can you name her

The world needs to blame her

It’s time we restrain her

Why can’t we just jail her

She is a player

Everyone wants to date her

I think I will tax her

I wish, I could change her

Father should I pray for her.

Lies

Lies are like little excuses
We use once in awhile
To pardon our errors
Or get ourselves out of trouble.

Lies are like a life saver
It buys you sometime
It relieves pressure lessens the pain
Gives you the opportunity to re-invent another.

Lies if we are not careful
Can become an addiction
You may choose to ignore it
but lies is another form of personal entrapment.

Daddy’s little girls

Every little girl needs her daddy to love her with gentlemanly charm.

To hold her tightly when she is afraid

And keep her safe from harm.

Daddy have you ever wondered whose holding us now.

From pigtails and bubble-gum,

To lipstick and high heels;

Daddy who’s going to be there to hold our hand

To help us mend our broken heart,

Teach us that true love is real.

Daddy you never stop to wonder the day

you walked out on mom was the day you abandon us too.

Now as we grow older who’s going to teach us to dance in the living room,

Who’s going to see us twirl.

Who’s going to bid us goodnight

And tell us everything is going to be all right.

Daddy your actions were selfish your desires divide our home

Now daddy you no longer belong to us alone.

You forgot along the way that there is no love that equals that of daddy's Little Girls.

Daddy you once said you prayed

But along the way I think you forgot to ask God to guard your heart

And protect your family from your selfish wayward ways.

The day you married mom

The day you created us

You forgot you made a promise

To stand with us for better for worse

You promise to love us and watch us grow

Dad you failed us

You replaced us for ashes and clay

We were meant to be daddy's little girls.

The Unknown Child

The pass, the unknown

The child in the dark

Secrets of your pass.

Out of sight,Out of mind

Father how could you be so blind

Not one, not two but a few.

Lust, drugs and greed

Father how could you agree

You were the one with the golden key.

Rage and Deceit

Scroll under my feet

Father these are the sins of your past.

Friendship broken,Love denied

Lies and pain on my brain

Every where you go you leave a stain.

Abandon, deserted all alone

A nameless child who has no home

Betrayed, un-appreciated, left to fend on my own.

Father you are the reason

My siblings and I are caught in a sinful Love triangle

Young and innocent, determine to survive

Questions to be answered

Father keep watchful eye.

I saw an angel

In my sorrow in my pain

I meet an angel that uttered my name

He saw my shame

But gave no blame.

He held my hand and began to proclaim

This life you live isn't a game

I bowed my head made a sigh

Held my breath began to cry.

It was clear that this angel was here to stay

His words were kind

His voice was near

I bent my knees and fell in fear.

These words I heard

Gave my heart a scare

Out of the house of David

I came to wipe your tear.

Hopeful

To be hopeful is to believe

To stand firm

To know there is better

To have faith that change will come

To know that nothing last forever

Pain is only for but awhile

Everything has a season

There is a season to fall

A season to rise.

A season to start

A season to finish

A season to cry

A season to laugh.

Believe me when I say

Everything has a reason

The most important thing

Is what you do while you are waiting.

Take time for self

Believe, that it's your season

To grow, to explore, to build, to restore

This is your season.

Believe there is a reason

The sun maybe dull

The rays maybe hot

But I can reassure

You are not forgotten

Remember everything is for a while.

Forgiveness

An eleven-letter word that confuses me

People say forgiveness bring peace

There say, it heals.

Open new doorways

Start new chapters

Yet I am here to debate.

Forgiveness let’s see

I forgave a woman once for stealing my husband

The very next day she conceived.

Not one but two

She divided my unhappy home

Took me through the battlefield.

Placed my tears in a jar

Causing me to wish upon a star

Forgiveness I am here to debate.

I knew a boy once

Who gave me his heart

My careless ways.

My selfish actions

Brought him nothing but pain

One could say, I made him go insane.

I am ashamed

I am to blame

Now nothing is the same.

Forgiveness I am here to debate

My heart is in pain

Wish you could stop the rain.

Darkness

In my deepest darkest hour

There was no one to talk too

No one understood

The world was to busy to care.

Lost and confused

I wrote words in fear.

I live in a heartless, cruel world

My children believe their dad is as good as gold

But at nights away from their innocent eyes,

He conceals a deep, dim, deadly secret.

A secret that plaques his very soul,

He terrifies his victims, a victim of which I am

A bully is he

The monster which torments and suppresses my very soul.

My family and friends think I am hallucinating,

If you knew him you too may think I am crazy.

To the human eye he looks humble

Violence may not be of his nature.

But you are wrong he is scary

Violent is his character

Your children will fear him,

Their dreams will be awakening,

For the monster that lives within in him will scare them.

His heart is as cold as ice

His hands lay heavy on your throat

Legend I call him many is he,

Your daughters may know him,

His scent may possess them.

Who am I to warn you

A victim am I

Crazy you may call me,

A fool I maybe,

Safe I am no more.

No corner, no closet can hide me

This demon devours me,

Death has a hold on me,

Sweet angel, release me.

ANSWERS

Have you ever wanted answers to every question

Have you ever pondered what was right, what was wrong

I have, I still do.

I sit in my two by four little room

Every day asking myself multiple-choice questions

Should I, Shouldn’t I, What If.

What if I hadn’t found what I was created do

I stop, I search, I wondered and then I paused for but awhile

I tried to listen to the stillness of the night.

The more I wondered the more mysterious things became

Then within seconds I had created my own puzzle game

I am only now more confused than ever before.

You see answers are good but are their always right

I am only but a fool

Caught up in what I may call a typhoon.

Crazy as it may seem

Answers are not what we truly seek

You and I are just trying to understand me.
