the poem is writing itself before breaking surface through us
beautiful to have questions of our own
journey through my personal truth
the poem is writing itself before breaking surface through us
beautiful to have questions of our own
Life
Be
Smooth
Repetitive
In cycles, like sunshine through a room
I see the rays from your smile
Tracing the lines of your palm
My days of fortune
Outnumbers troubles and tests
Consistency
No Cons in our truth
Thoughts to have never been pure
Skeptical of my youth
We decide to love again
And once more
Three times for good luck and faith’s sake
From dead red roses to growing seeds
Life,
Be smooth
Get a hold
I seem to ignore the feeling
Why the explanations…
Took the time to
Stop
Thinking
It won’t escape me
Pushing ourselves to the edge, risks
Difficult to accept an inactive dream
Indulge in such pain
Don’t sympathize me
because you let ‘em get to you…
walk over their clouds…
possibly, walk through
Let no one ever understand
From a past
to still exist
and drag
and melt
I’m sure it all means well
Let me mind’s wishes not mater to you.
In one life I mean what I say and do -
Passion in the passive aggression
Tell my heart not to adore anymore
Life, like e a scarred butterfly in a glass jar
Once I was a firefly to create sunshine
Carrying weight below my breasts to symbolize liberation
Yet, I’m well bonded to
concrete -soul
where happiness was buried
Wrapped up in a troubled mind
to no longer want or question
That doesn’t mean I’ve got all the answers
Play my words well
Are we playin’ or doing wrong?
Loving fair or screwing strong?
For a chance to smile from our hearts again
Troubles with the enemy I thought was
Mother Nature –playfully upset
Replaying my cure for a broken heart
My father told me to never give up
Let Joy rest upon your shoulders
I couldn’t resist words from a recovering soul
Proclaiming what I deserve, springing’ forward in the
Meantime
In my slumber
To connect with an unborn who wants all the answers-
Yet curiosity is the path to maintaining
Locked up in my present shadow
Focused on the things that restrict,
Instead of free me inside
Creating colors of the world
I can accept
Give in, be blessed
Which way to hope?
What words for expression
Not a roster of regrets
Succumbed to understanding
Under which circumstance to reinvent
Find myself again
Wasting faith without the courage to surpass wishes
Brought upon self
Thought I walked alone
Doubted my guardians
Flipped perspectives and took living for what it was
Victim to downfalls
Let the would numb
Dumfounded by not believing
In a love that is greater than me
To breathe more when I close my eyes-
The reality I chose
Kissed trials goodnight and woke up on a crooked road of truth
From sun down to realization
Evolution, come forth…
Selfless
Praying beyond my wants
As big as anyone else’s
Intimate vows…
Troubled words…
No false promises
I got the answer – Propose my self-worth
Without a protest – my goal
Release the truth from inside
Crossword puzzle to cover the heart and hope to stay alive
As if others don’t understand the intellect
To guide…by words and actions – Equality
Don’t let it go to waste
Anticipation for expression
And with faith to be an emcee
Kick the broken thoughts and knock the pieces
Back in place – you can have it all
Another chance in my lifetime
Needle in my pen, determined to mend – bursting suns without science to transform
Grow up to live the way I wanna live
Give to receive. From beginning to and end of chapters
A novelist with gifts and creation
Peace be assured and unforgotten
Life reassured and promised
Adjusted in the moments of truth
To rise without conflict and Rejoice
Remind you who I am…
Proportioned though verbal, natural cause and effect
What makes the artist –
Makes the pressure
Creates the diamonds
Pushes the dreams
Throws the dirt
Lights the candles
Drowns the obstacles
Breathes suicide
Commits to life
Burns the soul
Dumps the ashes
Stocks the shelves
Presses rewind…Reminiscent
What drove the poet mad…
Entirely makes the drive
Exhales the trouble,
Stirs the drama
Brings the light…
To where a heart once lived
Chronological distraction,
Reasons….not Excuses
for cryin out loud
I crumbled.
Asked myself to think twice and tossed doubts up out the door
Tell me I’m true
He spit in my face as I ate the pain, wet the straight lines with black ink-filled hearts and realized
I couldn’t PREACH no more
Tongue-tied, I couldn’t Sleep no more
Here lies a warranty at our fingertips…
Eviction!
Execution!
Expiration date on our front door
Damn, we’re not through the hardships, adjustments, infatuation
My innermost fears
I’ve got fears…
Hey, at least I feel
At least I feel
At least I can feel
I’ve got my rights, packed up my feelings
And put ’em aside
At least I can feel!
Who is gonna be the first to say hello?
Indulged in pretense
To look for answers, outside of yourself
Indecisive
Transparent
Baby is gone.
I walked home to light a Camel
I tried closing my eyes to transport
Wake up to find myself elsewhere
Slow to absorb
Gave in to a life of Assurance
That’s what I call him…
Fragile, though
Suddenly, I feel liberated
As insanity placed me here with records to skip after verses have flipped to the other side
Well…I remain
Never mind, you have no limits
What can become?
I’ve got a lifetime to be an onlooker
You light me up outside
Fuse, anger in the lightest way
I’ve got hours on my heart in your presence
You are the audience of your auditorium
Is it hard to believe you are breathing?
This hiatus has lasted long enough
So I say, thoroughly, processed –
Exhausted, nostalgic of many travels
Wind down, but keep light shinin’
Get your struggles together
Substance remains
Love rewinds the truth to remind us to be joyous
Soul searching out for alternatives
Plan (2) bash a first instinct
Stick to my guns, mind is on square root –
Harmonious intuition
Speak through my youth
Came to spittin’ sunflower seeds and poems on my balcony
As we wait no more –
Deliverance….
Speak…
Diligently – weakness into specifics
I’m getting closer, natural aspirations
Love hard, work harder
Inheritance
I will write, undoubtedly…
Furiously!
As one who writes without forgotten
Purpose
I will sob, unconditioned and sob
Furiously!
As if it’s my right guaranteed
With a liquidated heart
And no longer reminisce emotionally
No longer limited, paraphrased and
Summarized
I will not indent
But break the periods from my sentences
Without room for lies
Unfiltered prevention
Creator undivided – freedom
One woman nation
Obligated to self – top priority
Seek no chances
Dare leave me in the dust
Without a J. Walk I will crawl
Trust my instincts or trust none at all
Left power undone
Art never unfinished
Conformity left my feet for a run
I will be silent – no more
Being to love again
Nothing else reassured
Outstretched and meditated
Proven in temptation to remain blessed
I endured…
Soothe me
Carve my clarity in stone
Painted, brushed the word “Restraint”
Upon the ceiling I am hanging on…
to Dear Life,
Doctor?
F___ It. Why not enroll in school
Wait,that’s more money to lose – I’ve got
enough to lose
Roof over my head, but I ain’t keepin’ busy
Without we, there is till an eye to see
Headaches and bruises
Envious of things to come true
Can you call this embrace a blessing?
Physically poor, internal wealth
Contradict Story
To be a beginning, in denial the more I skip in love
All shapes and prizes – I get a lot
….Got me cursing a lot
Dreamin enough… Can’t we all talk along the way down rather than upside down?
Improper balance, but a shoulder to rely on – glorifying
With a soul on hiatus
Console my construction to instruct my dreadful wishing
No more chances
Let the history end – hold me against a will to recede
Illness to succeed
Thankful, in deeds
To let my heart breathe
And Time, I Neglect
Appreciate, or There will be Days I regret
J.W.
Almost -
Almost
The way I hoped to live
Spittin’ lyrics back and forth to each one
Feel all wrapped up
Found myself within arms
Just as it never was before
A few things off my chest
To bloom in poetry
Mention the sense so I would be
Reminded what life really is
And not justified
We will get there
As once upon a time
Every one has a story to tell
Who made love to whomever this may concern
Through innocence
Righteously whom
To see the difference
Have you ever missed someone before?
