on the first day love did bloom
yet this love twas destine for doom

on the second day love waned
it poured in rain sustained

on the third day love split apart
none twas left in the heart

on the forth day love lost its glow
gone twas the light's show

on the fifth day love lay in despair
for want of sweet scented air

on the sixth day love didn't survive
not a jot stayed alive

on the seventh day love died
whereby the lovers cried

on the eighth day love resurrected
whereupon love reconnected
a prompt from a poet friend inspired this write...

It was him.
I woke up to a friend request.

I've been waiting for this day
for 6 months.

We are not here to play, to dream to drift;
We have hard work to do and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle, face it, 'tis God's gift.
Be strong, be strong, be strong!

Say not the days are evil--who's to blame?
And fold the hands and acquiesce--O shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name.
Be strong, be strong, be strong!*
MALTBIE DAVENPORT BARCOCK(1858-1901)
"If you are willing and obedient,  you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of The Lord has spoken.
ISAIAH 1:19-20

She's an alphabet artist
she paints in words,

from a palette of adjectives,
nouns and verbs,

the landscape she finds
in the folds of her mind

she exhibits in volumes of verse.

Your lies could stretch for miles
And I'd still hang on your every word
As if your voice was a buoy
In my sea of senselessness.  
I long to love you
The way you should be loved,
But I'm not sure how you'd handle truth
If it were to wrap around your tongue.

And if you cut me
wide open with your
sharpest blades you'll
find the best of words
falling out of my veins* ~
Speak now or forever whole peace / do you actions support the words you speak / when eyes meet / the heart skips a beat / your stomachs feeling funny because your knees are getting week / and if every thing ain't going smooth. Sometimes it's hard to eat / Most people talk about it/ but they don't really understand/ I've been  there my footprints are in the sand/ the testimonies of a woman/ and a man /woman take my hand/ recognize God is in this man/ love is in my voice and loyalty is in my hand/Commitments in my heart because it's a part of the plan/ exodus Let me lead you to the promised land/ this ain't no fairy tale Alice in Wonderland/ You are now under the influence of a honest man
