Headstone Creations
The stone was grey, the prophet worn, Between the oath and crown of thorn. He did not curse, he did not shout, He knew what law was all about. It loves the robe, the seal, the chair, The scripted oath, the powdered hair. It weighs the ink, ignores the bruise, Counts the rules but not the ruse. Blindfold tied with threads of gold, It worships precedent grown old. It feeds on fear, on stamped decree, But starves the root of equity. The widow weeps in silent rooms, Her truth dismissed in legal tombs. The liar smiles articulate, Well-trained in posture, well-taught fate. And justice, bound in polished chains, Pretends she does not hear the pains. For law is not a beating heart It is a theatre of art. And those who master mask and tone Can turn a lie to cornerstone. Yet somewhere in the marrow deep, A quieter judgment does not sleep. No wig, no bench, no scripted plea But scales that tilt by what must be. Not what was filed. Not what was said. But what was done And who has bled.

Carved on the wall of a courtroom by a tired prophet
Take my life and mold and shape Take all that I am and recreate You made me in your image When you carved me in your hand You know my inmost being Loved before time began Carefully made with such love and care No craftsman on earth can compare To take something and give it New purpose, new life, new identity To look within and set a spirit free It is the gift of a precious chosen few And so, it is why I sing this song for you The wood rejoices and it sings It even dances for the master It takes on a life all its own Speak to my soul in purest tone Bless us with the song of the carpenter With hands both rough and tender With eyes to see what may lie hidden With patience for the hours ahead With humble heart that's spirit led May all we do and think and say Lead to the life the truth and way

Carpenter's Song
This story will forever be carved in the inscription of eternity Our love story In the frame of togetherness that we have carved for almost 7 years Now we will display it In the wall of time of our life journey And let it be eternal Although the carving is never truly finished At least it will be A solace for us when crossing the corridor of memories when we are upset and thirsty through the harshness of life "This is my love story of October 2, 2017 till September 16, 2024"

My October 2, 2017
A pack of cigarettes in hand Smokes burned one by one Smudges stain top of nightstand Blinds shut to block the glaring sun Holes worn through T-shirt High-tops laced tight Welcome mat encrusted in dirt Dimly-lit room depressing sight You are expert deceiver Exactly like father So long I've been a believer Start wondering why I bother Trying to tame restless feet Directions walked previously unknown Pressured to presume defeat Surrender and let roam I complain about insights I uncover Problems too heavy to hold Compulsive liar yet my lover Think your excuses are growing old Quick to clamber to conclusions Can admit that much is true You fill our house with illusions A haze so thick I can't view through You're straying from path I'm on Desperate to save our love from getting sick Play games with my head and string me along Enjoying the agony you inflict Your soul beautiful yet wild Voice is music to my ears Have done anything for you to smile Guess now that means my presence disappears Never next to you was I able to see straight Adoration rendered me blind Now I'm alone my vision returns too late Answers revealed I was too afraid to find Five in the morning Can't sleep Tormented memories Stories told in time until I lose track Moments perfectly carved in mind pester and tease I yearn for the universe I'll never get back

~ *Here I am; Guessing and Playing games with my hands, As my feelings spill out In front of me. Carved my skin A little thin From my heart to my hands. Then my nails dug in A little deep. Here I am; In the sand, Playing games with my hands, As my feelings make patterns On the ground.* ~

Playing Games
The night was ours and we shared with the ones who craved.

Night
Our names carved, With a rusty penknife, Into the bark of a random tree; Just words on paper, really, From me to you; and you to me.

Words on Paper
if you would only look at my heart you would see that your initials are carved deep inside and im etching away at my heart trying to remove the marks you have left on me but it seems to be too late they wont etch away and my heart will be forever branded with your name

said you craved the touch of my hands, yet your body's carved by others'.

what do you want?
Could we lay side by side in silence like the letters carved on wood by lovers. Can we for a moment be lines drawn, symbols of a moment once shared. T.Enocho

Lay in silence
Over time you'd carved out space. Your current eroding my toughest stone. Gutting me for all to see. For so long I'd forgotten what it was like to be without you, But you put up dams and barriers, diverting your water; and now, Colorado, you've dried up. Sometimes it'd rain and I thought that you might return. After so much time together we became synonymous. How would I exist without you? Now I know. You may have cut deep into me. Leaving your mark for all to see. They still come for me, even when you're gone, To look upon my beautiful layers and vibrant colors. The pit you whittled out is vast but you could never fill what was. I'm left with nothing but the dry, harsh heat. Don't come back to this canyon. There's no room.

The Grand Canyon
Your tongue like a knife carved into me, digging deeper and deeper with every jab. Taking the most important pieces, my heart, my lungs, my mind, holding them for ransom until there was nothing left for me to give, you had my everything.

The Power of the Tongue
Would you love me? If I was a storm so strong my name would be carved into history Would you love me? If I was fire that burned your home as I was called a calamity Would you love me? If I was a plague so deadly that could endanger and **** all of humanity “Would you love me?” She asked bearing the final question. “No” He replied. “I’ll love you even more”

Your smile, your messages, your voice, your jokes, your cares, Everything, will I remember them all. I may forget your face, but not the memories that I've carved into my soul, Until the time our line crosses again.

Memories
