My Life In Word

LIBERTY

 When night falls
 The darkness calls
 Her out by name
 Reminding her of the shame
 Heaved upon her
 By a predator
  
 She closes her eyes
 And comes to realize
 That she's on a head trip
 And has taken ownership
 Of his guilt and depravity
 His turpitude and inhumanity
  
 She opens her eyes
 And with conviction decides
 To relinquish the lies
 She kept bottled inside
 For fear of the world's reproach
 But now with boldness, she optimistically approached
 The nigh shores of freedom
 No longer the victim
  
 She closes her eyes
 And without compromise
 She ends the head trip
 And surrenders ownership
 Of the guilt and shame
 Cause she wasn’t to blame
 For his lack of humanity
 Turpitude or depravity
  
 Now when night falls 
 And the darkness calls
 Her out by name
 She defiantly proclaims
 Her liberty
 From captivity

A LOST SOUL 2

 In the silence of night
 My brother died
 Hanging from the tree
 Of suicide
 Alone and dejected
 A lost soul rejected
 Consumed by his plight
 He gave up the fight

ASKEW

 Your words
 They do not move me
 Though they appear 
 Strong and true
 My heart finds them 
 A bit askew
 Debatable and often moot
 Because you actions
 Tell the truth

OPEN HOUSE

My heart keeps an open house

The door is never locked

All it’s simply waiting for

Is to hear your earnest knock

NO DISGUISE

 My love has no disguise
 Or nefarious intent
 It travels a straight line
 It is neither broken nor bent
 No contingency or condition
 I give it freely
 To the one whom I love
 I give it completely

THE NATURE OF LOVE

 What is it that has the power
 To subdue the impregnable heart?
 I say it be love above all else
 For the nature of love
 Was in the BEGINNING
 When God created Adam
 In his image
 Yes, it be love
 That subdues the impregnable heart!
 For the nature of love
 Was in the END
 When God forsook his only Son
 That we may live

A LOST SOUL

Silent screams resonate

Through the night

But no one takes heed

To this soul in need

Or cares about his plight

Alone and dejected

A lost soul rejected

On the verge of

Giving up the fight

THE SILENCE OF NIGHT

 Storms rage from deep within
 Calm seas rise
 My eyes well with tears
 And the room fills with muted cries
 In the silence of night
  
 As I sit alone
 In the eye of the 'cane
 The calm before the storm
 Tears fall like sprinkled rain
 In the silence of night
  
 The rain then turns to fury
 As CAT5 winds begin to blow
 But there's no one around to hear
 So no one else will know
 What goes on 
 In the silence of night

SILENT EXCHANGE

She was woven into the fabric of my being

I knew how she felt sometimes without even seeing

Though others would simply pass her by

I could tell by the forlorn look in her eyes

That the weight of her world was heavy, indeed

And of a wordless hug she was in need

We’d embrace in silent exchange

To an onlooker it would seem strange

But, we too understood each unspoken word

For a conversation between souls doesn’t need to be heard
