I look around and see smiles
A resting face
A quiet one
A calm one
All sorts of faces.
Everyone talking to each other,
With each other
Right there
But everyone is so far away.
They rate you and review you
And everyone likes you
Yet everyone is so disappointing.
The “friends” here are not that at all

My eyes has been
wide open all night
like a corpse’s eyes

Would you come and
gently close them for
me so I can finally sleep?
I wanted to write a poem about how much I’ve missed her, and I guess this is my way of saying it.

In seeking
Your love
I’ve made my way
To the realm of wisdom
A kingdom where self love
Seats proudly on the throne
Where I’ve discovered
Under the cold sun
Deep In the abyss of a cloud of your counterfeit love
That I’ve been one of the missing all along
Where I’ve been calling thunderously to be found by You
Didn’t you hear me calling for You ?
Sometimes you have to let go of things and people you love in order for you to be found.This is never easy.  In the words of one of my mentors, “You are pruned if you do and pruned if you don’t.”  In my own life, I’m currently grappling with letting go of something that I would rather not in pursuit of what I truly need and want.  These decisions get easier as you mature and become keen on what you need and want most.   It is my greatest prayer that we all live authentic lives, even when it cost us in the short term. You can do this and you will be stronger for it.

I am

Waiting

In earnest

To see what comes next



I am

Entrenched

Almost rigid

As the urge rises


I am

Uncertain

Desperately seeking

Yet, I see no end to where I am



I am

Luckily lucky

Forevermore grateful

Her body’s poetry keeps me grounded


I am

Yet,

Stronger

Slowly smiles

You think I could be the one


I am

Imperfectly perfect

Yet,

I am

bright and warm like the sun in the sky
In your eyes


I am

Joyful

Sunlight beaming

You beautifully brighten up my day



I am

Still

Quietly reflects

On our special moment

From time to time



I am

Refreshed

Eagerly awaits

To move forward once more you asked



I am

But,

Exactly

Who and where

I am supposed to be



I am

In her tight embrace,  in love

A bond that cannot chip away nor be described
In simple words



Darling

I am

Loved

Your vision lies
But
your mind has eyes
Poetry challenges you
To use them
And
See reality perfectly clear

When love find you
You will know

Flowers will grow From fingers
Palms full of soil a scent that
Lingers and leads

You will not be afraid
To toil in loves garden

You will come as water
You will come as seeds
You will come as whatever
Love needs you to be

And
love will come
As whatever you need
Love to be
Bending to each other’s burden

All life
all light
strange and ready.

I heard them say
That cats have nine lives
And no matter what life throws at them
They always land perfectly perfect
On their feet
But as impressive this may sound
I remain unimpressed
Because
Perhaps the same can be said
For Edmund black
Because believe me
When I tell you that truer words
Have never been spoken
No matter if the sky’s fallen
The earth’s crumbling
Or the sun’s risen
I remain standing taller than ever before

“No matter what”


     Still, I rise!

Lately life
feels like a lot
of walking
Sometimes I know
where I’m going
Sometimes I don’t
And sometimes
it just doesn’t matter ,

Sometimes the wonder
is in wandering
But every turn lead to a path
I had not known that I was meant to walk
Every path takes me to a better season
Every path leads me to a different lesson
every lesson learned leads to a better life
and a better life doesn’t happen by taking the
same path , the known path
So yes like nature I change my
path often , I challenge myself, I move
differently intentionally
Yes I dabble in danger, I take risks
Sometimes I break open the sky
just to unearth what’s underneath all the layers
Yes indeed, this courage
My courage , this realm, the things beyond
God...
The road less traveled is Devine
