Therapy

To know your own mind

Explore heart and soul

Connect spirit to free heart

Erase pain forever

Healing thyself one step at a time

Meditating on love

Showing there is forgiveness

To be given

Absconding from self destruction

Poisons that corrupt body

Control the intellect

Standing firm on a belief of one love

Saying to yourself your are worthy

Beautiful, passionate, empathetic

To sufferings of others

Wake to mornings blessings

Sleep to evening’s peace

Shoulder

So much, pain how do I give comfort

Sadness and confusion I wish to

Transfer it all too me

For a moment to give him, release

Tears hauntingly reverberate

The sound I can’t extinguish

Wish I could erase the resonance from my mind

I cried too but held it inside of me for him

He needed strength I gave him all I could

Still I was left feeling incomplete

Because he was incomplete

And the journey continues

As this soul carries his load

Seeking absolve from the path

He chose to take

Has to learn to forgive his mistake

See the heart is a strong vessel

But to let it heal he has to let

Go of the past

And find forgiveness in himself

Love him

And I’ll be here the shoulder for

Him to rest his burdens on

Hunger is the Night

She prowled the streets at night

Moonlight bounced off her black Mercedes SLR

She had a selective appetite

Her hunger for different taste of gourmet

She grinned sighting her next meal

Pulling slowly up to the curb

Her meal strolled up to the car

Reflection from the moon temporarily

Blinded it

The door Rotated vertically on the

Passenger’s side

She gave her feast a delectable look

The trap set it entered

Driving away, she glanced to the right

Taking in the sight from the corner of her eyes

 Slowly licked her lips, delicious she

Thought to herself

What a feast she was going to have

Hours later, she tired of her meal

Gathered it up and took it

To the dump

Now for dessert she thought

Driving off in her black Mercedes SLR

 

Reprisal

This doesn’t make sense

And I’m a fool for thinking it should

I laugh at myself because it’s

Better than crying rivers of tears

Once again, I’ve been led into

A trap

 Warned by everyone

I turned a deaf ear

Thought I knew what I was in for

You can only fool me for so long

One day I will awaken

You’d better run

I coming after you with both guns blazing

My target in sight 

You

Smooth operator so you think

I don’t forget treachery

Be afraid be very afraid

You day is coming when you

Least believe it too be

And I’ll be the one dancing across your

GRAVE

Blaze

She knew it was dangerous

Letting anyone get too close

Secrets she held

Could destroy fragile

Egos

She dared to be bold

Emotions she tried to control

Manipulations in her arsenal

Of weapons

Deceit camouflaged

Behind sincere smiles

Truth was always in her eyes

No one took the time to notice

Her beauty blinded their minds

Forbidden fruit

Desire hidden behind

Coy smile

Beauty to behold

Trouble on the horizon

Temptation blows

Enticing wind

Surrounds the soul

Laughter sounds to

A hungry heart

Ready to embark

Tasting the illicit

Juice of ripen

Fornication  

Welcoming

Blaze

Hand of Heart

What is this hand?

Pressing against my heart

I carry the burden alone

Wade through the valley of tears

Abyss of water from eyes seeing the

Hurt in others gaze

Sorrowful wailing resonate

Each step taken is a struggle

To the next

Hand presses harder

The beating heart slows

Death smells victory

Waiting patiently for

The dying rose

 

Why?

Little girl walked alongside her mother

Viewing people of all color

Walking a little ways further her mother

Stopped and took a detour

Down a dirty alley trash and filth

Littered their path

People lay out under worn covers

Some sat under dilapidated boxes

All wore the same expression

Hopeless and forlorn

Spirits broken

If tomorrow came, they didn’t much care

Lost all their hopes and dreams

Some to drugs and alcohol

Maybe to situations beyond

Their control so many stories

Written on their faces

In their eyes beheld their souls

Deep exploration told the tale

Of the fight for continued existence

In the concrete jungle

Little girl held on tighter to her

Mother’s hand frightened by

What she witnessed

Even young she understood pain

Knew sorrow came and buried

Its ache deep into your heart

Eyes wide with fear she gazed up

At her mother

There was something purposeful in her

Stride

She walked faster and faster nearly

Running from some unseen demon

Realizing she was dragging the child

Like a rag doll, she slowed her pace

Apologetic smile traced her face

Coming to the end of the alley daylight

Making its presence known

A breath of fresh air

Rushed into the lungs of the little one

Stepping out into a new world she only

Had one question for her mother

Why?
