It's 2018

And none of my friends know
that I'm attracted to women.

I'll never tell
people I've known
since I was
fresh out of the garden of toddlerhood.

I'll never tell them that I,
another woman,
Can appreciate the art of *******,
the beautiful curve of female legs.

I can hide behind
the fact that I also like men.

There's so much
I still can't say
in this era of freedom
and pride
and acceptance.

I did tell them.

Unrequited Love

Unrequited Love

I tell you things my closest friends don't know
But it's not enough
I expose to you my fears and inner demons
But it's not enough
I tell you how much I struggle
But it's not enough
To you I list my hopes and dreams
But it's not enough

I look at you now and I want to cry
Because I know you will never be mine

No matter how much I pray
Or how much I try
I can't get you out of my mind

What will it take to be enough?

Seeds of Life

Our God is a wondrous God
he is the creator
there isn’t anyone greater
he’s created the earth
and the constellations
he produced everything original
no imitation
anything and everything we need
with only a handful of seed
he held in the palm of his hand
seeds of other planets
and seeds of a distant star
everything we see
and everything we are
he marveled at the seeds of life
he held in his palm
and when the winds were calm
he blew the seeds upon the land
into the seas
and across the sand
he’s created everything we see
and everything we are
from our home planet
to the distant star!

xoxo

Waiting for the Rain

Waiting for the Rain

waiting for the rain
watching the ominous clouds
awaiting the oncoming storm
listening to the soft drizzle
rolling thunder booming
lightning crackling
simply waiting
it was coming
there was no stopping it

O Wanderer

O Wanderer

Oh my dear, how you've wandered so far
You walk day and night to forget who you are
You walk through the trees with the moon high above you
You walk with bare feet, the hard ground below you
You've traveled so far and you've traveled so wide
Yet you only have the sky, to whom you confide
The sun lights your path and the stars lead your way
You've walked over the earth and paved your own way

You've walked so many days
And so many nights
Now it's time to spread your wings
And finally take **flight

Dull

Dull

My pencil is dull
I've been writing too long
But I can't seem to stop

I'm addicted to words
And getting lost in my head
It's all seems easier that way

The worlds I create are fading
The plots I develop are lacking
All because my pencil is dull

And I can't find my sharpener
My desk is so cluttered.

You've Already Made Your Mark

You've Already Made Your Mark

There are people who go around
Trying to make something
Of themselves
They try to become the best
They try to achieve
And some of them do

There are people who think
They can't make anything
Of themselves
They feel like they're the worst
And that they can't achieve
They don't feel like they can

But no matter
Who you are
Or where you're from
You have done something

Think back
To everyone you've known
How did you influence them?
Think back

Everyone
Just by being alive
Has made a difference
Even if
It's the smallest difference imaginable
You have changed the world
In your own special way

Whether you believe this or not. It's true. I can guarantee.

wings of God

If they ask you where did I go tell them don't sob... I'm gliding on the wings of God.. I was simply here to do a job now ...I'm gliding on the wings of God... many will wonder and ponder on my well being just know that...... I am gliding on the winds of God...... if you see me head down eyes closed know that... I am gliding on the winds of God..... praying passion for the living respect for the dead .. heart pounding good thoughts running through my head... remembering all before me the ones I have feed .. the love that I shared in good deeds that I did... God thank you for clearing my bed....with my arms around your neck kissing your head ... physically mentally but not spiritually dead I would like to stay here with you instead I am gliding on the wings God in my head...

Sunrise

Sunrise

They sat together side by side
On the hood of a rusted old car,
Dented beyond repair.

They sat together side by side
And watched the sun rise
Together.

This is where they went
When their lives didn't go as planned
And when the stress became too much.

This is where they meet
When times like this come by.
They meet here together

They sit and watch the sun rise.

Friend gave me a one word prompt and told me not to destroy it.

Defining Moment

Defining Moment

It's one of those days
When lack of sleep catches up
When time takes it's toll
And everything hurts

A constant pain
That won't go away
You tell yourself you're fine
But you know you can't escape

All your years of fighting
Slowly drift away
The darkness closes in
Now it's up to you

Will you stay?

What you do
Will define you

It's your choice.
