The
government
Those in charge
Are not the best
purveyors
of truth
Fear, mongers
grasping at straws
to perpetuate their agenda.
Melodramatic unsavory people
utilize character assassination
In an attempt to Win at all cost.
They Will stop at nothing
they will use salacious gossip
They love to disparage  
at all cost
in order to
prevail.
Yet
tenacious
people
are not
easily
stocked.
They have
a firm grasp on
societal demands,
and what it takes
to succeed.

The rush;
Connecting thoughts, ideas and concepts
into words, stories and a lush
life, to be read by you;
pulsating, feel the ambush,
throughout the universe.
Symbiosis; can't get enough!
I am not sure about this heading, can anyone suggest an alternative?
Bekah Halle Jan 27
Held, secure
To dance and sing,
To create and recreate,
To come in
To alignment, union:
Holy Communion.
Sovereign hold.
Bekah Halle Jan 27
Desire is like:
a quiet torrent in my womb,
it flows rhythmically
whenever I dare consume
an alternative universe with you.

Courage increases the force,
I dream for the day,
when I am free without remorse.
I take note of phrases and sayings in movies and stash them away for the time when they are ready to birth new life. I now wished that I had taken note of its origin!
Bekah Halle Jan 26
Never did I want to be a boxer,
But I’ve spent quite a lot of time in the ring.
All I’ve wanted was to daydream,
To play, write and sing.

But there’s always been a block:
Distraction,
A thief that’s knocked me down and robbed me true,
From harnessing my introspection.

Pushed up against the wall,
Beaten blue and black,
Suffering in this moment,
Focusing more on what I lack.

But I’m ready now,
To change: I MUST CHANGE,
Or I’ll lose much, much more,
Than I’ve already exchanged.
A poem from my archives.
