Let not your flaws define you,
Let not your fears define you,
Neither should the wrecked life you have gone through,
or the pain you have suffered.
Not your color,religion, appearance and origin either.
Just be yourself and let your beauty unfold.

let nothing define you other than yourself.

Word play...Lost in thoughts

Kobbie Cotssy Jul 2014

Word play...Lost in thoughts

baffled befuddled
bewildered
addled
aghast
appalled
astonished
surprised
taken aback
thrown
thunderstruck
uncertain

I wonder why there so many word that mean the exact same thing,then I remember because there so many ways to tell a story.

A tale told by one and understood by many,
A tale told by many and grasped by one
A tale told by the broken and comprehended by all.

so I am dazed,
Dazed by the fact I am in pain
Pain brought about by love
Love the universal language
a language I seem not to understand .

I rest my fears here,
I rest my pains here,
I rest my bewilderment here,

For love told Rumi;"there is nothing that is not me",be silent
And so shall I...... Be silent.

I'm filled with thoughts that are consuming my mind as I try to decipher them.Had to write something to release the tension.Above goes nothing

The Cliche cycle of Love and Life

Kobbie Cotssy Jun 2014

The Cliche cycle of Love and Life

He saw me looking,
He smiled,and for a moment I was the young untainted flower.
Never been touched and seeing the world for the first time.

He felt it,
It was undeniable,so pristine,
Drawn to each other we were.

He was my sweet, tall,pure dark piece of awesomeness,
And yes I gave in,
I caved,
I had fallen.

He told me I finally defined clarity,
That I was his blackStar,
With his sultry voice,I believed.

I was lost but yet found,
Euphoria.
Reality had nothing on me.

A flower I was,
Him the water that kept me beautiful as ever.

Then he said it,
I did not believe it,
He said it again,
This time I heard it right.

The pain,
The hurt
The anguish.
It crumbled.

"No it's not you,it's me."
He said.
"I'm sorry"
He said.

the Salty liquid took its course,
"It's okay" I said.

But why?
Why?
I licked my wound like the wounded Animal I was.

I healed,and was reborn,
And now am on it AGAIN,like it never happened.

In search of The Great.

Kobbie Cotssy Jun 2014

In search of The Great.

Your hand I look for,
your face I search,
Your voice I want to hear,

It is said you are the Holy Trinity;
God the Father,
God the Son,
God the Holy Spirit,

Is it that my eyes are shut, that I cannot see?
Is it that I am numb, that I cannot feel your touch?
Is it that my ears are blocked, that I cannot hear you calling out to me?

Is my heart an icebox?
But if it is why is my body so warm?
Am I in darkness?
But how would I be when I know of your existence Oh Lord

Man is to Err,
but is to a man with or without you?

I am void without you;
my heart cries to you,
"Lord find me, Lord find me..."

Am I looking in the wrong direction?
For I cannot find you

I have sinned,
I have wronged,
and forgiveness I have received because you are merciful

So Lord steer unto your light
for light is life,
Live in me, for I am your temple.

FOR YOU I WRITE.

Kobbie Cotssy Jun 2014

FOR YOU I WRITE.

I write to you because  I want to,
I write to you because am filled with much to express,
I write to you with my soul,
I write to you with my heart,
I write to you with a mind that’s rational, so that my words are  not mistaken for emotions only,
I write to you, with every inch and bit of me,
I write to you, you alone that I think of,
I write to you, the one who confuses me, but I in Return  like the confusion u stir up in me,
I write to you, who makes everything crystal clear in a blurry world,
I write to you, you who makes me move mountains,
Mountains that can only b moved in my mind,
I write to you, to you I write this words, words that tell the intensity of what I feel,
I write to you, to you that gave me the world,
A cliche it sounds,
My tears  I have cried,
My tears wiped by you,
So to you I write, I write for you to read,
For you to feel,
For you I Write.
