I cannot visit your graves this year; Your lives which ended so I could stay here. A price that was paid like Christ on the cross, Most never realizing how much it has cost. But, in my heart you’ll always stay kindred Spirits, souls find their way. My tears, unashamed, freely fall may we remember […]

I dream, I hope, I love… Unconditionally May you see His light Shining in me I aspire to inspire And strive to achieve Expecting results In the face of adversity I believe in those things The eyes cannot see My faith is like that Of a mustard seed I laugh and cry and fight In […]

Pain and pride Are in our stride Shouldered to protect Innocent lives Despair and grief For all we’ve seen Righteous anger For some who lead Power and money Can corrupt good souls Tempting the best To lose control So, a license to achieve By whatever means Tests our faith And all we believe As we […]

How many wounds are self inflicted How many days spent in self hatred? How much time wasted in hibernation Or wallowing in a dark depression? Despair Deprivation Devastation Desperation… Are you dying inside instead of living Do you feel lost in this world or un-forgiven? Do resentment and bitterness habituate your life Or perhaps you have […]

Do not tell me I am beautiful If my scars you have not seen… The scars on my arms and legs From being stabbed and cut with blades, The scars on my back from being whipped, Or the scars across my stomach from being sick Do not tell me I am beautiful Not until you […]

To feel your warm embrace A gentle caress upon my face Soft whispers in my ear Explicit, candid and sincere Pure and lovely as can be Like sweet fragrance covers me Wrap me in your strong embrace Such tender love… my safe place.

Fear to fly and soar up high Yet, fear to fall and say goodbye Fear to achieve and even succeed For I know what greed and wealth can mean Fear to gain and then to lose Fear to dream whatever I choose Fear of becoming all I have seen Fear that hatred might consume me […]

I do not know who you THINK you are, but let me to tell you who you are NOT… YOU are NOT My master, my ruler or my owner You do not control me, possess me or own me I am not for sale, yours to share or easily spared You do not think for me, speak […]

Grateful today is a new day… To realize our mistakes To change old ways To heal our wounds To mend and renew To explore what may To embrace a change To learn the truth To grow,    And reach,       And stretch Beyond…    what you thought was you. Soul Seeds… As ‘people’ […]

Am I not worthy of your tears Of saying good-bye after all these years Will you not miss me when I am gone A void in your life, where once was a song The deepest darkest of my days Stole the light and sunshine rays Faith be lost – Hell be found Shadows cloud the […]

I love who you pretended to be An honorable man full of integrity. You had me convinced and I believed A web of lies spun into reality. Charming and attentive, seemingly sincere You became everything I needed And wanted to hear Until, my life knew nothing but fear. The emotional abuse drove me insane Claiming […]

My humanity became your playground My heart the strings you played My emotions your only amusement In a game you loved to play.
