May many more manuscripts
find their way to your hands,
your pen,
that slightly chewed pencil sharpened down
to its end.
            Let emails fill and grace and glide into,
            and over, your mailbox,
            all for you to wake up in
            sheer ecstasy’s shock,
            because you’ve just found out
            there’s work to be done.
                        Allow this doing to be your undone;
                        go out conscious and naked into
                        the hazy summer’s sun
                        and dance, for goodness sake,
                        dance woman! as if a newborn
                        locked away in your womb depended on it.

As I was trying to break free

She said to me

"I just think humans should be able to co-exist peacefully"

co exist
please
*******
no drama
no peace
or being a lady

when your existence is shady

the real existence
the one u been hiding

is chaos

so if u wanna live peacefully
please
dismiss
yourself

from seeing me

then i'll feel better
knowing you're gone

i breathe easily

startled by the swiftness
of actions gone awry
standing feeling helpless
as the world goes by
say the wrong thing
at the right time
and you will not have to have
a reason to decline

there comes a time
when truth comes out
but t'was plain for all to see
the fiction that did exist
was between you and me
we played the part of partners
lovers and best friends
acting out of loyalty
more than a feeling

Although many years have passed
and change of attitude
nothing has ever felt the same
since walking in summers dew
when I first caught you with him
my heart it did feel crushed
but it turned out that you'd been
once or twice around the block

As I sit here wondering
am I going insane?
holding court and handling
all the in between's
still I wear a smile
and laugh at life's gift's
looking for direction
not caring where I've been

I
  wish
I could see
  myself
       as
   others
     see
      me

i want my future to be filled with warmth, comfort food, laughs that make me double over,soul satisfying feel it radiate out of my stomach love making, sweet smells, clean air, serene peace, roaring joy, i have so much fun on my own but i miss you just as much when you're gone, apple of your eye each day is a new height, let us grow in this, let our dedication shape this and our faith make this, you may now kiss your bride. gathered together giving thanks to the most high, his love is ours, we stand in power, we strengthen in pain, what good is the world to gain?the only thing that keeps me sane, my tongue sings the sweetest name, were fearfully and wonderfully made,the ultimate sacrifice was made, flesh of my flesh bone of my bone, your body is my home, the journey back to what once was.love.
