How do you express your gratitude?
I am so glad to have reached your shores
Somehow I have found this blessing
Bountiful, joyful and plenty,
Slowly unearthing a soul
Free and clean
Just as I am
Not now I should have been
A soft place to land
Queens in a kings seat with equal authority
To that of a man, a swarming army
Not here to paint a fiction
relatively justifying any particular picture
No lie to sell about godhood and patriarchy
a unwilling participant in a capitalistic system
Excuse me sir
Can I have a room please?
One with enough space
to try all that I’m carrying
And maybe you too, since you know it all
With all this time – just once – wouldn’t spoil it all
Show me what you know, just tell me where
I won’t hesitate when you tell me to put it there
And how about this?
How does it look?
What does it make you feel?
Do I have you shook?
Would you do this?
If I called would you come?
To my fitting room
Let’s see what this becomes.
What was the last live performance you saw?
Saw some talented poets at poetry slam where I read my poem, mr. unavailable:
excellent service mr. unavailable
emotionally, spiritual and intellectual.
-ly lacking and siphoning
my energy,
with drops of love
so i decided to fill my cup.
and although I’m ever so grateful
this is the year of the faithful.
those who recognize and give their due.
treasure a treasure and not play the fool.
consolation lies in reciprocating,
yet a well run dry leaves one only waiting.
for that which will never come.
can’t call myself dumb.
i believed your every word,
and that which was left unspoken.
you healed the places that were broken,
filled the spaces gone unnoticed.
here there is no blame, only acknowledgement
There you are again
Pulling on my energy
Tugging on me in my sleep
Creeping in my inner thoughts
Too scared to show who you are
Well, I feel you.
And although I can’t see you
I touch you back
Feel the length of you
In my depths
I grasp hold of you
With gasps, plees and ooo’s
Knowing that you must stay there
even though I feel you pulling.
To find you did the worst thing any man could do
Abandon a child
Live a lie with so much truth
I find myself so far from you
That I cannot draw near you
as I had before
Is it love, if you didn’t love them?
As much as you loved me
Or am I fool to believe that it’s true
Real
Faithful
Honorable
Never hide, never lie
This is our painful goodbye.
