I AM
The whole catastrophe
The auspicious promise within its
Womb of serendipity
The dismembered corpse of the donor
The gift unwrapped and presented
The second chance for the soul with cirrhosis
The woman raped by pirates
The legacy turned Gospel
Her bastard child destined to become a king
The wall built from fear
The storm that blew it down
The solidarity grown from its rain of pain
All of creation
Breathing
Moving
Feeling
In chaotic synchronicity
In this instance of eternity
One breath
The inhale pause and exhale
The caterpillar chrysalis and butterfly
The man the woman the child
Beautiful in unbecoming
Promising in becoming
The bittersweet realization of impermanence
That sets aflame in our hearts
The audacity for hope



I love this!!!

People Watching In The City

Listening
to the city's ambiance
while my eyes subtly stare
at its fluidity
beckons the pen and pad of my imagination
to create a storyline
of its heartbeat

Each face
that comes and goes
wear unspoken words filled emotions
sadness
and laughter
love
and bitterness
amazement
and confusion
each one significant
yet none more important
than the phantom footprints
they leave behind

It is within
this noise and rhythm
of people places and things
that the monotone fusion
of poetry paintings and sounds
become the artistry of an indelible moment
called life
and where I find
solace

It seems I win with words.

Do you know words are insufficient?
Give me your embrace,
Give me more than words.
I am dying with lack of love
in a world that wants my beauty,
but does not know me.

You are the balm to my demise.
But you deny the water leads to the flow
where the waterfall falls.
Dangerous, powerful and I have already jumped.

I turn my head,
still you hesitate.

Catch you on the other side of passion,
if you dare.



My wife once asked me who my favorite poet was. And I told her I had few who inspired me. They were Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, James Emanuel, and you. I truly love your work. Thank you for inspiring me!!!

From Winter to Spring

Winter's cold
spilled the milk
yet
I'm not allowed
to cry
so I wear heartache
while cleaning the mess
that was made

Come each new morning
I close my eyes
while opening the curtains
praying
spring brings a warmth
that paints a smile
for me to wear each day
to mask what I feel
because
every home deserves light

Yet
it is not quite
day light savings time
so darkness still lurks
around the corner
like a bitter memory
but the children need to know
that I'm ok
so I smile
to hide everything about us

Winter's cold
spilled the milk
yet
I'm not allowed
to cry
because a home
should be where the heart is
so I wait
patiently
for my heart
to let go of him

Tomorrow Morning

Tonight
can we chill
take this moment
as slow as necessary
so that we are no longer
misunderstood
let's talk
about the past
to heal
so that we don't have to continue
to relive our hurt

Tonight
can we rediscover
intimacy
through a conversation
meant to heal old wounds
let me tell you
all the ways I want to say
I'm sorry
and that I didn't mean to hurt you so

Tonight
feel free
to express
your heart's deepest pain
let me take that hurt
and bandage it with as much love
as my soul can give you

I know
we've journeyed so far
at yet we still have
so far to go
to reach our destiny
but if you will
tonight
let me hold your hand
so that we can see
the sunrise
tomorrow morning
together

The River

The river
often times
rushes
through the course
of life
carrying a rage
that only heartache
could know

And then
there are those times
when
the river
is still
as if it were pondering
what it was
that it was
chasing

The river
sustains life
quenches thirst
and
leads the way of the lost
yet
most times
it's taken for granted

The river
the woman
the mother
the wife
the backbone
of the beautiful life
called love

Ok. I should publish. Apparently my poetry speaks to women.
Does it speak to males?
If I am going to be out there and perform my poetry in real life (yeah I am quite the actress), do I do it in female circles or all circles?


Never be afraid my child


You wont be frightened
by this mother's love.

Her hands rock the cradle,
crooning her protection,
nurturing beyond the nightmares
humans desire for you.

This mother shall sacrifice all
for this perfect gift
of life.

She also changed the heinous words.

"Down will come baby,
cradle and all

To fall into her loving Mother's arms".


My latest :smiley::sunflower:


Yes you should publish your work!!!!! You are an amazing poet who reaches both males and females!

When We

Under
the starlit
night sky
a gentle breeze
chills
our nakedness

Slowly
we interrupt
midnight's silence
with the sounds
of love whispers

As the
spotlight
of the full moon's
kiss
guides us
towards
that moment
when we . . .

Ugly

Before
when there was a reason
to believe
within each beat
there was
hope
life
love
and beauty

But the words
the hurt
left it motionless
broken
took from it
life and left scars
pain
torment
and now I am
ugly

I try
not to remember
I try
not to forget
I am
lost
unable to escape
who we were
unable
to find me
and so I wonder
are you
you
because I am
no longer me
I am ugly

Born of ancient fire,
her smoke signals summon
primal war howls.

An uprising of razor sharp arrows
pierce the clouded mountaintop,
where it is said she abides.

Smoke and mist pass.
The mountain is barren,
only skeletons of yesteryear remain,
untouched,
entombed
near the ashes.

And the thousand arrowheads broken,
their shafts used to kindle
her fire.





Wow Ladywind you continue to amaze me!

Roses


The clock's hands
toil
minute after minute
until the hours pass gently away
soon
tomorrow's promise
will stretch
far and wide
celebrating time's patience
with an elegance
that awakens hope

Lingering
ever so warmly
like a whisper on the horizon
the slow rising brilliance
paints shadows
across the land
and within each ocean wave
until beauty
has burdened the night
with the majestic colors
of life

The air
still chilled from previous hour
begins its sojourn
to the warmth
of a new day
as life mingles
with the scent of roses
leaving yesterday
breathless

Soul Exploration

Would you
please
spend
just this one night
with me

We could
awaken
to the sunrise
glistening
within each drop
of the morning dew
as the new day
painted a picture of possibilities
for us to explore

Imagine
feeling the sensual warmth
of the sun
teasing
our souls
with a never ending
rest of the day
to indulge in nothing but
the purest form of enticement
love

We could
forget
that there was a yesterday
or
that tomorrow
was waiting patiently
to be discovered
there would only be
the now
for our hearts to ever know
and all
they needed to remember

Being in relationship for 7 years,i sometimes avoided her,perhaps just by human nature
Then went on a tornado of cusses
It was me and my ego that rises
Like a never ending stream of lava
When the swan turned an eagle,
Then a cloud of confusion arose
Claws of arrogance pierced my soul
Left with the fall of a mountain


Trapped in the boundaries of loyality
I lost myself,i lost my own name,my pride

And here i am,ready to light her cigarettes...
With the destiny to kill my every need
And be a guard of the loyality


Quite Deep . . . nice write

Time and Circumstances

Under the weight
of time
and circumstances
life has
for far too long
continued to be
what it has been
for the two of us
things we can't change
things we don't know how to change
and things
we wish each other would change

There are so many reasons
for our complications
from being too young
for marriage
to having children
before we were ready
not enough job prospects
to earn a decent living
arguing
fighting
and missing the each other we used to be

For me
when I am alone
I hate to admit it
but I wonder
if possibly
everyone was right
maybe we rushed this
maybe our family was ruined
because of our love was merely infatuation
the doubts of whether
this is love
whether we were meant to be together
linger within my heart

Then there is the fear
I want to be the husband
your happiness thought I would be
the father our children
need me to be
I feel lost
on a path that once had direction
because nothing seems to go as planned
we struggle
day in
and day out
this isn't how it was supposed to be
yet it is
which makes me wonder
I am not enough

Memories

They are there
like a doorstop
small
and insignificant
yet
strong enough
to keep the door ajar

Doesn't matter
if the heart wants to close it
or if there's a draft
as cold as the winter's blues
they will keep the door ajar

Kind of like
crying
before time heals
what love has broken
there's always hope
but only if
the door
is left slightly ajar

As she walked into the kitchen she can feel the desire growing within her body, her limbs felt weak with need as she looked around.

Then she saw it, the box. Her craving began to deepen as her hands grasp it.
Her fingers sliding along the plastic parting it slowly to reveal the sweetness hidden deep inside.

Tipping the box watching as the contents gently slide into the bowl. Her desire heightens.

Feeling her desires flooding her limbs as she watches the milk slipping over the flakes gently caressing their edges.

Slowly she slides her spoon into the mix bring it to her succulent lips.

Her tongue slipping out to taste the sweet milky mixture as her body's needs takes her deeper into cravings.

She closes her eyes as she devours everything on the spoon over and over again until nothing is left and her body is satisfied


Kinda dangerous Vonda kinda dangerous . . . but I **** this

I Fell

I watched you
walk away
and the world
became a bit colder
and my thoughts were like the wind
twisting and twirling
never to cease

The overcast
not only darkened the sky
but my mood
as everything changed
in a blink of an eye
like autumn interrupting
summer's brilliance
I fell
slowly
