The dream
Was right there
Waiting
On me
To choose
To enrobe myself
In a faith
Grand enough
To wear its design

Gray
The land of nowhere
Found tiptoeing
Between
Great heavy shadows
Holding hostage
Fearful what if’s
And the light
Bare naked brightness
Secrets once
Owned in terror
No more
Have power
Release
Peace
Freedom
Life

Studying myself
From a view
Of self-peace

Very little
Of myself
Have I shared
With you
In fact
I’ve even kept
Myself from myself
Some days I’ve
Felt so betrayed
So overlooked
But,
My thought’s
Have been terribly misinformed
Thinking I should be seen
When I’ve barely shone
What light
Did I give
You to follow?
You can’t behold
A woman
Who’s dimmed
Her spirit
To obscure dusk
Naturally,
She’s nowhere
To be found

There’s layers to my depths
And depths to my layers
Arrangements of silence, sounds, letters, words
Building, stacking, mounting
One pause, one syllable, one moment at a time
Spinning out from
My soul’s innermost core
Bursting into life
The moment they touch air
Traveling through galaxies
Beyond the universe
Beyond time

You will tell everyone
How you prayed
And how I answered
Love,
God

Look!
You see?
When you serve me
I will put you in places
You could not otherwise go
I will place you
In palaces you can’t afford

I thought
About contemplating
Then decided
Thinking too much
Is overrated…
Seize the day!

My flame burns bright
Illuminating the darkness
It stays steady & fierce
Even though life’s gales
Divinely lit & furnished
My spirit shines
Guiding my journey

One day it became
Crystal clear
In the split
Of a split second
My heart spoke
My purpose
God’s destiny
For what I am to be

Encased
Within my beauty
A silent grain of pain
But my God
Layered
Love, upon love, upon love
Smoothing hurt into
Iridescent sheen

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens, Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche, Voila le portrait sans retouche, De l’homme auquel j’appartiens.
Quand il me prend dans ses bras, Il me parle tous bas, Je vois la vie en rose.
Il me dit des mots d’amour, Des mots de tous les jours, Et ca me fait quelque chose.
Il est entre dans mon coeur, Une part de bonheur, Dont je connais la couse.
-Edith Piaf

My little girl dreams
Are still cherished
By my woman’s heart
One day
Very soon
I know
They will be
My reality

And then the day came
When I stopped
I stopped
Dancing for a song
That never paid me dignity
And on that day
I said
I am significant
Then I reached out
And I took it
I took my worth
I took my grace
I took my respectability
I wrote my own song
This song
I can dance to
Proud

Every story
I’ve ever lived
Recorded by my
Beating heart
Speaks no language
Man can decode
Unless he looks
Into my eyes
Those windows
To the pages
Of my soul
It would take
His lifetime
And then some
To read
Carefully
Through them all

Don’t need you to be perfect
All I need is you to be the perfect man for me
Love me enough
To not want to live without my loving
You be the present & future
The one who makes my heartbeat sing
My smile glow
Secure in knowing you’re for real
No matter which way life goes

I’m gonna love you
Love you like never before
Straight outta my heart
Throw back my head
Kick up my heels
Laugh from the bottom of my soul
Fully love living this life
Free
