Heartbeat

Posted on August 16, 2020 by

Heartbeat is fading.

Almost non existent

As my soul is nearly depleted.

No expectations of humanity,

And devoid of all care.

What to do in a world of uncertainty?

What to do when the love is gone?

Feels like I’m drowning,

And I can’t come up for air.

My feelings are my own.

No longer buried deep inside.

Bitterness has festered,

Anger has taken over.

I feel numb.

Will my heartbeat live again?

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.

Will I ever believe in Hope again?

Numb

Posted on June 10, 2020 by

Numb from the hurt and pain.

Numb from the target on my head.

Wondering what enemies want to gain?

Shameful to think, “What if I’m next?”

Racism is to blame

For me wondering, if soon,  people will say my name?

But onward I MUST and WILL go.

The Sky’s The Limit

Posted on June 28, 2019 by

I want to live like I’ve never lived.

No wasted moments.

No suspension of time.

I want to soar freely to higher heights,

And from the clouds I’ll emerge,

As I greet the sun on my way to heaven.

With a renewed heart, I feel love,

To be able to move with no fears, as I’ve left them behind.

Guided by a power like no other,

I can fly far beyond the moon.

The sky’s the limit.

And I’ll just keep going as if the sky is all mine.

May You Be Immersed In Love Today

Posted on April 18, 2019 by

Fly to a higher height

That extends beyond the moon.

Travel beyond space and time,

To live amongst the stars.

A feeling within the heart and soul,

That only sunrays can expose.

Upon a morning smile,

Love’s aurra reigns supreme.

Love.

An ever flowing sea for one to drown in eternally.

Love.

A friend of a higher power

That wraps it’s arms around you with an embrace of the day’s delight.

Love.

When you have it,

Hold it tight.

Cherish what is yours,

Which is the Love bestowed upon you.

Revel in tears of joy,

And remember the feeling.

May you be immersed in Love today.

And may Love forever in your heart remain.

That Little Girl

Posted on March 24, 2019 by
Made with a shattered heart that could renew itself,
Upon dried tears and a wish.
Upon possibilities of what could be.
Through the eyes of a child,
Visions danced of a soul being free.
That Little girl from long ago,
Longing to be loved and free,
Grew up with  a heart with everlasting love.
That little girl is me.

Space And Time

Posted on November 1, 2018 by
A beautiful being
And a kindred spirit.
Destined to be amongst the stars.
Creative energy flows
And positive vibrations,
Makes the celestial body of work that you are.
Made of scorpions and fire.
Astrology divine.
More than a sign, dispersed amongst space and time.
Happy birthday, to you.
It’s your time to shine.
It’s your light.
It’s your reason.
It’s your rhyme.

When Love Is Boundless

Posted on July 12, 2018 by

When love is boundless,

It’s ever flowing.

Filling up a heart devoid.

Shining its light through the window to the soul.

A savior for a shattered heart.

A saving grace for a love story untold.

Love’s joy.

It’s like a little bit of heaven in your hands.

To feel its warmth and glory

Is like nothing else.

What Is Life To Cold Hands And An Empty Heart?

Posted on July 11, 2018 by

What is life to cold hands and an empty heart?

A meaningless nothingness.

A reflection of despair.

No humanity seen.

No love.

No care.

Mere ashes of hope gone dry.

Mere tears from when one cried.

No measure of value for bodies.

None for the dead nor alive.
