Nomad

He was drifting floating along with life
Wherever it took him, he’d end up there
There was no anchor to weigh him down
Roots that needed watering
He went with the direction of the wind
Changing course at a moment’s notice
Nomad to wander this earth
Liberated spirit
To live amongst the birds that flew free
Stop analyzing what his existence meant
Spread his wings he soared
 Joining his heart to mother earth
 Liberally roamed, drifted along with life
Wherever it took him, he’d end up there
Finding peace…



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
