Memories of Dust

by

0

I can feel the particles
Of memories of dust
Flowing through the air
Reminding me with
Each touch
On my skin  
Of lessons learned
Of tears shed
Opening the window
To reflect 
And as dust it appeared
Not to relive
Only to remember
You will always give
All of you
No matter how time passes
Dust 
Wipe it away 
With a wet clothe
Wash it away
With the purest of water
Let the waterfall of resolve
Wash over you
Continue to give
This love radiating 
From every pore
I was meant to
Wholeheartedly give 
This love
This gift
That rained on me 
From Above
Dust 
With a kiss of a whistle
Blew you Goodbye 
Sky high
Only to return 
When a reminder
Is wanted
For this love
To be set in motion
As the turbulent waters
Flow in the deepest 
Part of the ocean

In Her Eyes

Breathe in everything around you, or filter the atmosphere.
Places, people, so many things, can find their way to attach.
The beauty is, it’s up to us, who or what we wish to stay close. 
Honestly, there is an appreciation, for being on your own, many aren’t used to truth. Love in it’s purest form, accepts the beauty of your imperfection. Enveloped in this love, somehow it turns everything into what it should’ve always be from the start of creation. A closer look into someone who carries this gift and there is the undeniable reality, they exist. No reason that is strong enough to deny being completely yourself. Sweetness of that smile that attracts them to your space. The tone of your voice from so many foreign places, your feet have set on. Languages heard from casual conversation, that were heard keenly and somehow made their way to linger on your tongue. A walk practiced in narrow hallways, with tall ceilings that made sense when looking upward, from legs that start at your neck. Eyes that will take in an entire room and let you drown in what you may think is in her thoughts. Dreams, learning to live with the ones that never come to life.

Hope, never stopping the dreams that gave you life.

All this in her eyes…

Sweet Beauty

The keen observation in her eyes

Disguises the love in her smile

Chooses to see your greatness

And applaud your existence 

Than shine in her own light

Sweet beauty

Strong for others

Fragile for herself 

Will fly in the storm

To reach a distant heart

Will hide her tears 

To fire your laughter 

There is no reason to put her aside

Sweet beauty can be

that dream come to life

Her candescent beauty
Shadowed by the sun
Reflected the inner workings
Of her heart
Choosing to share the light within
Yet guarding the secret to its existence
For love has no place in solitude
It only flourishes in superfluity
In abundance that is
A breathe exhaled to relieve
The load of the days dust
Amongst her petals
For a moment feeling free
To just exist without any deep thought
To escape into the field
And flutter as the hummingbirds
That drink her nectar
Yet knowing her place is determined
And there will only be moments
her beauty is only hers and
There is none that will
Illuminate as she must…

The Pen

by

0

Once, a tool to hide within
Which interpreted the emotion
With words always felt than spoken
The pen, my voice in extremes
Flowing, screaming
The ink is clear
Freed to express anything and
Everything
A three dimension magnified
Reproduction of me
On paper
No reason to hide
If there was ever
A reason before
I don’t know why
How sweet it is to know
Who you really are
What you must do
To become that better
Version of you
Images once taken to
Explain the depths of you
Are past silhouettes
No explanation necessary
This is me
Welcome to my words
Leave your preconceived notions
Outside the door…

A Love Song for the Lady

by

Different than your contemporaries,
Lady, your walk is like no other. With purpose, carefully you take each
step. Every step a mark on your life history, engraved in the lines of
your footprints.

Entering a room, everyone takes a look, for you were never here, some how you belong even for just awhile. As you greet them with your all knowing smile. Oh, that smile, you smile with your whole being.

The gleam of the sparkle in those eyes from the secrets you know of life, waiting to share. The window into the joy held inside.

Lady, we shall always call you, for no other name can explain. As you dance alone or with a lead, the song seems to be centuries old, a dance you know so well. The music written in notes of your heart beat.

Lady who dares to love you and hold your hand through this so called vast land.

Almost seems to the passerby, that you
don’t require company or a lead. You
don’t mean to mislead, held it all on your own for this is the way it was handed to you.

Lady in moments of the quiet of the day
you empty your sadness in prayer, no one is aware. For lady you rather share your courage and laughter. Alone you refuse to feel.

Jah cradles you in His arms, yes, your best friend. The one who saw your seed of faith planted, the one that made it rain, so you may flourish, the one that made the sun shine on you and cleared the shadows.

Yet, provider of shade in the heat of this
systems aching fires.

Lady you are like no other, not more, not less…

You are the love you carry on your shoulders, to relieve the load, to not weigh down your slender frame you share with encouraging music notes.

Refined pearl from the African sun, standing tall as a calalily, a lady, you will always be, a choice you made wholeheartedly.

Lady for you believe there is no time to wait for that lead to sing this song to you. So with humble melodies you sing a song written and carved in stone.

For now, you walk alone and holding Jah’s hand till it’s time for Him to give you away, when that real live love song starts to play and willingly with an inclined ear, you listen for your cue.

Lady is your name, you say, this love song, sung today and will be put on replay.

Till the lead takes their place and a compliment by their side with a
inclined heart to dance, a new dance which beats the rhythm of your heart, in tune with your sound mind…..

Lady this is your love song….
Time to dance till the night turns to dawn…

Reconciling with Joy

20130814-153954.jpg

Joy – A state of mind an orientation of the heart, it is a settled state of contentment and hope.

In Galatians 5:22 – “… the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long‐suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self‐control…”

First there is love and second joy, yes without joy we can’t reach the other fruits of spirit.

Love exists with me all my life, how I see people, the world that surrounds me, even in the worst of days. An abundance of love it hurts when it’s held back for any reason.

Joy however is not automatic, so today I reconciled with Joy, I am asking for it, John 15:16 – “YOU​ did not choose me, but I chose ​YOU, and I appointed ​YOU​ to go on and keep
bearing fruit and that ​YOUR​ fruit should remain; in order that no matter what ​YOU​ ask the Father in my name he might give it to ​YOU.”

Joy isn’t a smile or a laugh, it is deep within us and doesn’t escape quickly. In order to be a counselor of peace in any relationship I must have joy.

So here is my reconciliation…

Joy cradled in my hearts crevices
Waiting to be called.
Come out to me
Embrace the love already here.
Let me not steal you from others
May my words and deeds
Be as water for the thirsty
And food for the hungry
Joy you peak through
As a child hiding
When I smile

Show yourself
Hear the softness of my voice
Come out and see
Without you my love is in vain
Its time for us to reconcile
It took me awhile

Dance with me in the rain
Walk with me in unknown paths
Climb with me up steep mountains
In the day be the light of peace
In the night be the bliss of hope

Hold my hand,,,
Together we will make it through
I already have enough love for me and you….
