Fire & Ice

Fire resides in my essence
An all-consuming flame
Burning deeply in the core
Awakened by only one
The soul’s desire of love
Never thought to be found

Though I may yearn for Ice
Freezing the root of my heart
To no longer feel, such sadness
Which fill these days – nights
In knowing, it shall be pointless
Missing you, my love, ceaselessly

The heart cannot hold boundaries
There can be no going back in time
Once awakened, it shall never die
Amid this silence, an absolute trial
To subsist with the passing of days
Longing the return of loves embrace

Sliding Through Your Fingers Like Liquid Gold – Collaboration with Starr Poetress


                            Image Provided by Google

I pray timelessly, that I have the strength to tell you how I feel,
Yet I fear at times that I cannot do so
I am almost scared to approach you,
It is not that your person repulses me
I cannot believe, you can truly see “me”

Given all that resides within and then some,
nothing can ever be good enough for you
As I pour out my emotions here – there
Yet, you are nowhere near, to be found
I once thought if I had the perfect piece,
you would look at me differently
Knowing now I was wrong – lost in translation

It was never your words that attracted me,
though they did not hurt, but appease
It was never your body that fascinated me,
though I would love to be pressed up against you
It was your loving eyes, that melted away barriers
How they revealed things, you thought I would never know

Yet, you still cannot see the real me, exposed for all to see
I have been in front of you all this time, calling without end
Yet, I am nonexistent, words be just another set of words
As they bleed, as I continue to press pen unto page,
in every piece writ in blood, I really wonder if you read

Feeling as if my voice slides through your fingers,
like the liquid gold of my heart pouring off of you
Do you see me, can you hear me from afar,
or am I just another fan addicted to you
I really do not know the answers,  but I beg it be different,
at least what I know to be true, is what resides in my heart

His Promise – Collaboration with Starr Poetress


                              Image Provided by Google

 
I look to the heavens above in prayer
As I felt in heart, all hope was lost
The sadness that consumed me
Brought me falling to my knees
Pleading for a sign of grace
Searching - listening for a clue
As a voice came to answer

 He said, “Look to your sisters”
They love you unconditionally
When all hope seems gone,
they will give you a hand
Transfer their strength to you,
whether you need it temporary
or need it for eternity

Astonished by the voice
I wonder in if it is a dream
A delusion of the mind
Of an angelic response,
to appease the ache within
Asking in search for answers,
for the reasons to such adversity
In return I hear the voice anew…

I place each one in your life to help you,
in love, loss, happiness, and in strife
So next time you have doubts,
like today, drop to your knees
Giving me a shout up above,
as I know sometimes it seems hopeless
A feeling that should never exist
I have placed each person in your life,
in purpose to teach lessons to guide you happily
Though some may hurt physical or emotionally,
they will make you stronger, wiser to cause
That my daughter, my child I promise thee...

I know now, I am not alone as I take heed
To the knowledge and love bestowed,
within the message to the answer
Knowing that with every tribulation
I grow stronger, more compassionate
To the pleas and cries of another
Gifted by the grace of enlightenment
In a world where madness and mayhem,
rule the days and nights in utter chaos
Only love is the solution to salvation
A most prized treasure to accomplish
As in my essence I emerge into light

The Gift of Love - A Collaboration With Poet Chris Smith



                       Image Provided By Google

There was once a time,
It feels so very long ago
When I believed I could face
Whatever the world threw at me
But of late, I find myself
Feeling rejected and so alone
Trying to seek out a purpose
A reason for me to carry on

The words seem to be endless
To write these pieces from my soul
I realize I am never alone anymore
For there are others who find the way
Writing the words to heal thy self
It makes me feel a little stronger
Because someone understands me
A colleague, a mentor, a friend

It is this place where I find solace
Even as the days, go by in sorrow
In every gesture, I am overwhelmed
With the love bestowed timelessly
A gift I treasure with all my heart
Even though many are miles apart
A godsend in times of this darkness
As the light shines to brighten days

No words shall ever be sufficient
So to express the gratitude I feel
Of all that resides within my soul
Blessed to have such undying support
In dire times of need and desperation
Bringing me new-found perception
In a global bonding of friendship
Transcending in endless devotion

Sorrow



                     Image provided by Google

An engulfing sadness
Consumes the core
These days – nights
Leaves my existence
In a state of unrest

Restless thoughts
In flashback fashion
Leaves me breathless
Exhausted to extension
On a quest for the light

The warmth of the sun
Brightening these days
Lost amid the darkness
Roaming ceaselessly
Grasping onto faith

I gaze upon the stars
Searching for a clue
Listening to whispers
Of the nights calling
Entranced by the moon

I fall back within silence
Wishing upon a star
To bring me home anew
Seeking solace unto soul
Awakening all that resides

As the heart beckons
For the barer of the key
Opening the pathway
Where happiness reigns
In the arms of one love

Capture this notion
Of ecstasy – true bliss
Once partaken – divine
Transcending barriers
No other can surrogate
