Pierced with sharp objects the skin grows tight, Disillusionment fraught with dishonesty stings, As those you love, with one swipe cut at your wings! Your adversary hides like the spider in a new web, Jealousy, cruelty and embitterment take a slice, Your heart is now fully aware of their shallow device. Your tissue toughens to … Continue reading Deceitfulness
The Military Man – My Father
Lost for wise and fair words as I struggle sadly trying hard to understand, This five-foot-four, striking, but mostly drunk this lonely military man. Before his sixteenth birthday, he took off to the horrid deadly Korean war, Crippled was this young soldier inside and out as the memories still tore. Dad, would pick up the … Continue reading The Military Man – My Father
Nature’s Wake Up Call
The hummingbird flew towards the vivid, red Cardinal flower, Sweet was the nectar that gave its tiny wings such power. Bumblebees with prickly legs covered with yellow pollen, While Chickadees steal from an old bird's nest that has fallen. Oh blessed is the morning view from where I rest my head, Nature calls ingeniously to … Continue reading Nature’s Wake Up Call
Warriors Still Bleed
I call myself a warrior not because I am incredibly brave, but because I still exist. That doesn't mean that a wishing well of sorrow doesn't persist. One so deep that the sound of the stone dropped therein never leaves a sound. Bottomless, these waves of heartbreak come unexpectedly and without warning. They wash over … Continue reading Warriors Still Bleed

He Called Her Daughter
Imagine I, the constant pain, cramps, and fatigue that did torment her so, The isolation, humiliation, and curse that came along with her red flow. Twelve years forsook by her bleeding which she could not manipulate, A loyal woman of Our God, she followed all the law, it did so stipulate.

Loss
Into memory’s doors, I do cautiously and slowly tread, Dressed in black the family glides dazed around me, A video is showing happier times of their family tree. Stunning is the woman weeping and whispering, Tender words to a quiet, listless man lying down. Tissues quietly muffle her sorrow and her sound. I speak to … Continue reading Loss
My Forgiven Mistake
Eyes that once dreamed, now clouded by my twenty-year sentence, Walls so tightened, my viscera was slowly squeezed with foulness out, My skin weakened, but still supported by my falsely displayed armor. Void of all emotion, passion, or even a hint of a jagged seam united, As expected, a lifeless form, shuffled forward as foreseen … Continue reading My Forgiven Mistake
Careful What You Sow
Like floret seeds to the blustery wind, Are unkind words forged to defend. Resolute, they take root and spread, Till blooms, leaves, and tears are shed. To sow what bears no good intent, Extends only hurt and a wretched scent!Joni 6/19 Isaiah 54:17 NIV “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute … Continue reading Careful What You Sow
