"answerer" poems
You've taken every Dream i've had
Laid waste to every plan
cruely taken all i've Loved.
Left me in this Godforsaken land,
When I called out in the night
while in hot writhing agony
with a troubled heart unconsoled
Why did you not answerer me?
When I begged you take this pain
from my aching breast
I felt the arrow through my heart
Blood pouring from my chest,
I Prayed to you a thousand times
and pled a million more
Why leave these fiery beasts
Banging,busting down my door?
You left me in the dark
with Demons and no control
I couldn't help but think at last
this my death bell toll.
You left my life to Satan
when I did but beg release
and like a fool I still Prayed
for my Soul--Abiding Peace
You left my prayers unanswered
night after night- No Reply
What did I ever do to you
That even my death you would deny,
As silent tears run down my cheeks
I will Pray to you No More!
I realize you have Forsaken me
and left Demons at my door.

how much longer will I wait for butterflies bursting red at the wings, fiery orange curling their tips into flames
today is long and heavy like the space before a goodbye
i watch a moss-backed turtle float on clouds above the water and I think of you,
of coiled garter snakes and soft pink sunsets, of warm lentil soup and white zinfadel and fern forests and I know,
I would not be enough for you
settled in the space between sun and moon I am two parts water, one part fire,
I am boiling hot springs set on a river deep, bubbling and breaking and gasping for air,
I am summer thunderstorm, hot rain and violent life and love without control,
I am ocean fissure, the space between, red hot lava shifting slowly like a lover beneath the sheets
I am self-contradiction, all crab-shell and shape-shifter and the answerer of my own questions,
I am crystal cave heart and loose leaf mind, waterfall eyes and moonshine smile, you cannot tame me but you cannot let me go

Born to be
-is a belief
born with gifts
-nature's choice
a Theist says God has a plan
an Atheist says Go with the flow
will Universe has an answerer?
sorry, my friend
I am just a questioner
