My Words

As I lay on my words

I ponder…

My words! My words!

My sweet pillow of comfort

A cushion of lyrics

Showcasing my thoughts

My secrets

My pain

My words speak tales

My experiences…they spice my words

Like meat in a pot, I cook my words

Spicing them up with the right experiences

My experiences…Your experiences

I add emotions to the art of writing

I bleed strong emotions that overwhelm you

Careless words that carry meaning

Caressing your smooth mind like silk

Truth…the incense my words produce

I sometimes camouflage it with jumbled patterns

I leave a footprint in the hearts of my readers

I scratch their curious minds

Leaving my autograph inscribed in the soft depths of their minds

My words are real to me

I taste them before I spit them out

I chew them before the ink flows out

Lies taste better…but lie…I’ll rather not

The truth so bitter…yet I’ll rather delight in its beauty and be satisfied

Peel the scales off the statue of truth

Leave it naked for all to see

Our hearts crave wisdom

But our flesh would rather rejoice in folly

Speak more words to me

Ye tree of truth!

Entice my pen and cause it to bleed

I rejoice in the flow of truth

Nourish my senses and be my muse

I have nothing to speak but words

Words of truth

Words by me

My words! My words!

ANGEL UNEMPLOYED

He sat on the floor

He was tired of the struggle

The toiling

The hustle

He needed a change

But did nothing but sulk

This had gone on for so long

He felt so alone

Unwilling to tell

Unwilling to ask

He just sat there… feeling discouraged

  

His angel sat there with him

Unemployed and fat

He was waiting

Waiting for his own to make a move

Speak the Word

Give him a task

But he got none

So he just sat there with him

Chewing on muffins

Humming a hymn

A Room Full Of Happy People

They put on their party shoes

They cranked up the stereo

They jumped up and down

They were happy

Merry

Ecstatic

Elated at the news they heard

They sang and sang

They woke up the neighbors

They really didn’t care

They were enjoying the moment

They were in no mood to stop

A DJ

A dance floor

A room full of happy people

She watched them dance

She was in no mood to dance

They stole her spot

Her spot for inspiration

Her perfect writing spot

She wanted to write

She needed to write

But they seemed not to care

She was upset

She needed to let it go

Her head was filled with so many tales

So many…so much inspiration

They just wouldn’t go

So she sat in a corner

And she watched

THEY TRIED TO BRING EGYPT BACK

They tried to bring Egypt back

They treated them like Israelites in captivity

They were free

But their mindsets kept them in bondage

They ate the lies

And fell for the tricks

They tried to bring Egypt back

They forgot who they were

They sold their rights

They wandered away from the light

They wore shackles

Camouflaged as jewelry

They tried to bring Egypt back

They created a playpen

Threw in toys

But built walls around the pen

Around and around they ran

No exit…no doors

They tried to bring Egypt back

Very few saw it coming…

THOUGHTS AND LONGINGS

Cast me not away

Ye gentle soul, my love

Lead me to the beach

Where our love began and bloomed

Cradle my fragile wrists

In your strong and loving grip

Call me yours again

Bid me to you and I shall yield

Few hours to the vow

To be yours and only yours

I long to see you so

I long to hear you coo my name

Upon my pillows I lay

With tender thoughts of you and me

Uncountable wishes

My gentle heart

I melt into my satin sheets

A man for me

A bride to be

My wishes never end

Alas, I hear of your trip back to town

My finest dress of lace I wear

Fingers groomed

Hair tamed

A scent unforgettable shall steal your heart away

I lean against my window so

Knowing my gate shall be your path

I wave my hands

You smile so bright

And then the story continues to roll

TO BE LOVED AND CARED FOR

To be strong for so long

To camouflage your true feelings

To wipe the tears away

To force the pain to fade away

To lose your best friend

To be nursed by experiences

To lose trust for those around you

To be suspicious of love

To live in terror

To be homeless

To flee from violence

To be abused

To be mistreated

To be scarred by the one you love

To hide from the beatings

To be rescued from the drama

To be misunderstood

And guarded by uncertainty

To find comfort once more

To know what it feels like to be safe again

To be loved and cared for

To eat and be satisfied

To look back at your past and be grateful

To be thankful for all you have

To know plenty

To give plenty

To be loved and cared for
