Twelve cries
A free door into the work. If one of these sits with you, the full books are on Amazon.
No Love Lost
Love
Is it lost?
In this world of chaos
Any path portrayed
Hangs a tag price named
Or no way will love stay
Now tell me world
Having given so much shade
Explain to me what you
Observe love to be
That will conquer all I’ve seen
Fill the cracks in my soul
In believing there’s still hope
Infinity Loving
free from costing
No Love Lost
Loving with a cause
Smile Again
“Hello Gorgeous”
I hear some days
What is gorgeous?
Should I be happy for the name?
Is this protection from deceit?
Protect my heart from a thief?
I can’t afford another break in
To my heart but gave in
Isn’t love what we’re made for
Me and you
But I hoped too soon
So this love
I’ll try again but look within this time
& bring to life the smile once dead
“Hello gorgeous, it’s nice to see you smile again..”
Imperfect Loving
Sometimes the best advice hurts the most, Sometimes the advice you give stays on repeat,
Sometimes people retreat.
Nothings perfect, never will be...
When they said we were sinners, What did you expect to see?
I think that's why I fall in Love,
So Imperfectly..
Feeding Faith Moving Mountains
On this journey
My little pure being
Beside me little does he know
My son he guides me
Clears my vision of worldly illusion
The purpose of my being
On this earth
What good can I bring
My concern…
Bringing love to earth is the great need
Try again do not give up refuse to bend
In your weakness call & he sends all
In strength through faith
Love with grace
she IS in need..
Requiring me to self shrink
As if my strength is choice of clothing
Black or pink
Please comprehend what this asks
Of 1 woman 1 mother
2 hands 1 heart 2 feet
This strength you perceive
Was viciously made
Forced to be clothing
Of the woman before thee
A woman so soft & hearty
Yet cold if need be
Protection from deceit
Luxury of Femininity
This is my Need
Safe space to lay vulnerability
Playing Mother & Father to my precious seed
Can I ever trust again
& let my femininity mend
Knockout
Done reaching out
No more pretending
I have no feelings
Guess it’s time to cry it out
Then keep it pushing
Thought wrong again
Thought you were down
Downer than most at least
But life’s knocked me out
One, too many times
Three hits and I’m spinning
Fuck it I’m out
& with each step I walk away
Inside I’m torn a little deeper
When I’m gone
When I’m gone
May crazy little details of me
Put a smile to your face
May your heart beat warmth forever
Filled with memories
Silly kinks & I love you’s
I would say
Show My Boy
White clouds blue sky
Favorite view to
Calm my mind in
Pull away from my sins
Let myself envision
Future vibin life
I choose to ride in
Raise my boy &
Show him a good man
Is what a man
Of God is
Two Heads
Wish I could give what you need
& love with patience
But I’m weak
Can’t stand to see you
Move then lose
Refuse to choose your dreams
Open up bout’ what you love
& who you want to be
You know life’s not easy
But please believe
Sometimes it takes a team
To evolve & grow
Persevere through low blows
& let our inner demons know
When it comes to you & I
Inner demons eat defeat
Better find a place to hide
Aim to murder demons pride
Vivifying
This climb to my rising
Growth with God’s guidance
Self sacrifice
My own ego & pride
Oh mountain me
It’s time to move
Miracles come afloat
Overcoming the doubt in your don’t
Ignore negativity
Strength is positively
Vivifying inside
Moving The Mountain in I
Go light your own gas
Sick & Tired of your rude ways
Picking at mind
Confused brain I sit in silence & just stare straight
Telling my heart not to be afraid
Because we know what this is looking like
The way you manipulate play with reality
To make me feel weak
Defend myself & you walk right out
No acknowledgment of what I speak
Why or how I think
So sadly can no longer turn my cheek
Goodbye what could have been if you let me in
My puzzle piece
My husband will be my puzzle piece
He & I
Our struggle
Our biggest blessing
Gods guidance
Where we step toward
Better together
Choosing love
& Gods favor
Blessed with my puzzle piece
To live a life purposefully
