Where I am
Living in this body
takes courage
more than gusto
or gumption
to some
I appear to be unreal
as if I don't exist
and for others I'm
all fangs waiting to
devour them as
I feel them
slowly disintegrate
into the bile of my
stomach
but I am just me plain
and quiet with big
storms inside
the living thunder
raging underneath like
the big bang...
Tanisha Jackland Jan 2016
While you slept
I wandered
to meet you in the still waters
of the dark night
shaping your dreams
into coherent fishes

And in the deep warm
crevice of your mind
beyond the
labyrinth of gray matter
I live there
Wet and eyeless
Unwearied and waiting
For you to swim
into the center
this raging heart
Here is my video:

You are persuaded into
believing that you are only
flesh of flesh.
or blood from blood.
But there is more to it than this
your faulty beliefs about
yourself.
For you are a labyrinth.
a meditation on all things.
You are the fire that will
live on til eternity.
The forever awareness
realizing itself over and over
again for eons of love, light
and the reciprocity of being...
Who you are and me too.
Tanisha Jackland Jul 2020
Women ignite yourself
burn in untamed desire
for the fever that breaks
into flames
pure essence of
lust awareness
that sits below the
root of the spine
You came here to
be wanton
to be entangled
in the mud of wild love
you are a gold
lotus spreading
across the divide
show yourself
and watch the world heal...

“There is no greater agony
than bearing an untold
story inside you.” Maya Angelou

It is always better
to wait.
To let the *** brew
for things to settle a little
and get happy.

For patience is a
caged bird when
the time is not ripe.

However, the fledgling
never knows
when it is ready.
When it is time to take
that leap of faith.

When it is time
there will always
be something
to nudge you gently
off the precipice so that
you may do what you were
meant to...
and fly.
Nothing wrong with waiting...just don't overthink it.
Tanisha Jackland Dec 2015
You were born to
Be devoted like
A gentle sun
placed at the center of it all
And whoever revolved around you
Would know you as bigger than life
Caught in your orbit
Like nature never intended
for you to go unnoticed or un-loved
You are the center of it all.
Tanisha Jackland May 2019
Earth is so delicate
that we must
take only
what we need
From Her

For She is the
life breathing
in life
the
storms breeding
rage and thunder with
the cold wind
nudging at our bones

When we choose
to actualize our
disembodied arrogance
upon Her
we wake Her wrath

Then in the most
compassionate
diabolical
way
she slowly deals
our final fate
Tanisha Jackland Jan 2018
Obey no one
but the call of
your inner most self
and walk barefoot
upon the Earth

like you were meant to

before modern man
became portfolios
diversifying arrogance
instead of his head

No one looks you
in the eye anymore

connoisseurs of rude

Walk forward now
and don't look back

Dodge bullets
with a smile as your
secret weapon

And laugh with
the best them


Making good as pretty
as you go...
Happy New Year in 2018! Remember integrity will be rewarded in this year the year of the Dog according to the Chinese Zodiac.
Tanisha Jackland May 2017
Hold this space
don't wait
for the apocalypse
for the oceans to die
For the last breath
we'll take
perhaps
it may never arrive
in this time
and like parallel worlds
EXIST
spend this realm
in the center of your head
but first close those eyes
and begin to truly see...
You
Tanisha Jackland Sep 2021
You
You will
always be
life becoming
itself without fail
repeating the original
pattern over and over
again
you splintered into
perfections of each other
the beginning
an anomaly flowing
flawless
the light within
the fire
the eye looking
back at you
is you
the source
of all things
endless
damaged
and undeniably
profound
Tanisha Jackland Dec 2017
You are some kind
of trapper
a mere shadow
I cannot grasp
but still stalking me

You've been clocking
me by the moments
ticking me in
with the favor
sugar daddy in waiting
superman subtle
you are a hunter
with sweet words
as your crumbs

I may follow you
to my sugary demise
candy killer
slow honey soup
on my tongue

I'll lick you up  
while you
smell so good
Tanisha Jackland Dec 2017
I have
known
disappointment
like the Sun
unshining
forced
to give
up its glow
Tanisha Jackland Dec 2017
What you are
is what surrounds you

Do you walk
with red anger
always exposing the
claws behind your back
or are you the silent air
that moves us
stealthily thru this world
gentle as a warm whisper

You are that
an inward
light reaching
for its kindred flame
You are not always what you eat. What defines you is within you and without you. Pay attention to what is surrounding you.
Tanisha Jackland Apr 2018
Have you come for me
dust light settling peach
flames in your eyes sparkling
divine like the root
of my chakra

You are stardust to me
all brilliant
promising smile
that makes you humble
a cloaked God

You feel all
warm gold dripping
sweet from your lips

Precious diamond
what friction made you
cunning as a wolf

I am your prey
soon devoured
offering my flesh
to you
Have I met God?
Tanisha Jackland Sep 2016
You were wrong again
Daunted look in your eyes
Thunder seeking heat
studded beat of your heart

How many times the delusion?
Oh, Queen of the Universe
with your forgotten stars
left somewhere
on the train

They never knew
you loved like Venus and
lived for an eternity

Now here you are
playing mortal in Utah
rolling your eyes to the
mayo on white bread
and to a man
called Jesus...
Tanisha Jackland Oct 2016
She is tired

Hearing footsteps

The knocks at her door

But he has eaten her again

Devoured her from the inside out

The skein of muscle the drool of blood

Left pieces of her between his teeth

And now he is going for the jugular

She has been done a million times before

To forsake her would have been easier

To lead her to her own betrayal

Into this scandal would have been good enough

you in your discomfort
may you find the state of mind
that belongs to you.
Set on that vibe which may not
destroy you. for you are never
truly exhausted in being.
just soar and be with them.
the masters.
Ascend, May we all ascend in our own time.

— The End —
