Being Played

 Today I love you

In one breath

Tomorrow, I despise you

Give you sex when you want it

Withhold it you don’t own it

Rent it out to you

For the moment

Give me money when I ask you

When you ask me

I don’t have it, I’m broke

Broke

Broke

Broke

Turn on the charm

To disarm you

Then withdraw

When you displease me

Hot and cold

When I need to be

You can be the man

When I let you

But we all know

Who wears the pants?

Don’t we

Don’t we

Don’t we

You’re weak

I let you think

You are Hercules

Hercules

Hercules

Hercules  

Take your money

Call you honey, baby

Make it seem everything

Is peaches and cream

So, you won’t discover

My true colors

Give you children

To tighten the noose

Around your heart

Heart

Heart

Heart

Now I’ve got you

You’re all mine

Long as you don’t

Recognize my deceitful side

Deceitful side

Deceitful side

Deceitful side

 Play this game forever

Because you will never

Leave me

Leave me

Leave me

Your third eye is closed

And I have bolted the door

And swallowed the key

 

 

Peace

Love is the beginning and the end
Peace is accomplished with acceptance of knowing our true heart
Unity happens when we embrace one another for 

our uniqueness

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

I am not preaching or ranting but there has been so much going on lately around the world it amazes me why would anyone want to keep trying to survive all the mayhem and destruction, the injustice is God listening?  

The cries and moans of his women losing their children, men, father’s cradle empty arms.  Are we so lost we cannot see the beautiful rainbow in between the hate and disillusion?  

Does he see our innocence being lost on the cold streets of the concrete jungle? 

This cannot be all there is to life…

Faith, love, hope, peace, unity, justice, have just become words lost in alterations

I bow my head in submissiveness wondering what is next, what is next, what is next….

 

Drift

We are drifters passing through life

With no roots to hold us down grounded to mother earth

In spirit we live knowing you can kill the body not the soul

Voyages sometimes lead us in directions we do not understand

Comprehension comes into clarity once we open our hearts

Stop living from the mind

Where ambiguous emotions confuse and

From conscious sentiments where truth is

Sometimes obscured in hollow laughter

And silent tears

There is no anchor tied to our life

Without that, we drift…

Confessions

They say confession is good for the soul

The one on the receiving end might not be so

Inclined to believe that line

Whose soul is it good for?

To lay your sins on someone’s shoulder

To bear your shame and transport

It around with them

Innocent ears have to hear betrayal

Eyes gaze deep into the face of evil

Remorse doesn’t pay the for the debt created

Now the valley walked through is more

Perfidious thorns and rotting roses

Great you with sadness and bewilderment

My how selfish you are to bare your soul

At my damn door

Anger is only now beginning to make its rest

Upon my heart that has endured way too much shit

How dare you invite me in to your turpitude?

Now I feel dirty like I was the one to cross

That threshold of iniquity

Scrub my skin till it’s raw

I can still smell the deceit and treachery

The stench lingers in my nostrils

Lies, lies, lies,

Confession for the soul is good

Just keep your damn secret take it to your

Grave and inconvenience me no more

With confessions

Heaven Sings

She closes her eyes listen to the wind

The song it sings only her heart

Can interpret

Each note is a reflection

Melodious interlude to peace

Quiet reminiscing settles a

Restless soul

Sweet air brushes against

Falling tears mingle with

The whisper of love passing by

She opens herself up

Breathing in a new tempo

Rhythm changes stanza

Inhaling the fragrance of new beginnings

Silently letting yesterday fade away

Heavens breath reaches inside a

Crumbling heart

Breathing in a new song

Giving life to hope

In her heaven sings

Heaven sings

Heaven sings…

In Limbo

There is no simple yes or maybe

Black or white slight shades of grey

The defining line between today and tomorrow

Reality unravels

Hope becomes a figment of the imagination

Ambiguity lingers in the air

Out of your grasp slips fragile possibilities

From eyes tears rally to fight a battle lost

In the end decisions still remain unclear

Leaving you suspended in limbo
