REMEMBERING US

September 26, 2012 //

Love! Many of us have experienced it.  I wrote this poem based on stories from anyone who has shared with me their experiences of love, togetherness, and heartache, including mine.  The decision to stay or to depart.  The decision to work things out. The decision to stay amicable towards one another.  In several stories, I recall the exhibition of present love, however the persons in the relationship chose to show it.  One of my brothers, Fentress, loves to read this poem aloud using much  emotion.  He does the poem passionate justice as he recites it.

REMEMBERING US

When I think of you

I think of us

Whispers of melodic love songs…

“Easy, When I Fall In Love, Let’s Talk About It, You are My Sunshine, Brown Skin”

Need I say more

Conversations that comfort

Disagreements that blossom into beauty

Truths that hurt, but heal

Unspoken moments cradle us in love

Glimpses that are so seductively warm

Symbolic gifts that mirror our love

Stolen hours of secret passion that brands our hearts, souls, and minds

Looove…Sooo…Reeeal…

That even apart

We can smell the aromatic scents of one another as though the other is present

When we make love our way

It feels as though our beings entered the other and orchestrated passionate waltzes and exuberant sambas

We share awaken dreams of how our love truly is…

Full, unselfish, bold yet soft, honest, willing, forgiving, accepting the lovable embrace of apologetic symphonies, healing from our hands, loving from the inside out, respecting decisions of the other…

Umm! We loved!!!

When our love started to end, we embraced what love truly is to us

Our souls cried a deep mourning

Our tears flowed until dawn

We made our decision

Love truly is you…

My friend

OVERCOMING SELF

September 26, 2012 //

There have been times in all our lives where we have felt that a situation was overtaking us and that fighting to love ourselves was not enough.  The weight we thought was too much to bear.  Little did we know that mustard seed faith could carry us far. We eventually realize during the storm of of life we were not alone.  Everything that we need can be provided to overcome.  Family, friends, children, strangers, situations, occurrences, or whatever you call it are placed in our lives for a reason and our Lord and Saviour saved us from self-destruction in what we viewed as impossible situations.

OVERCOMING SELF

I was mangled beyond recognition from within.

I had allowed life’s twists and turns to overcome me.

Everything about me had changed, so I thought.

My demeanor was of a dark hue.

My spirit was casted in bolder glue.

My body was living, but lifeless.

I had thoughts that dissipated before the quick blink of an opened eye.

I visualized my tears of emotion, but no moisture was in my sockets.

I screamed from my soul to free the pain from the walls compressing me from all sides like the pressing of discarded waste in a trash compactor.

As I gasped for my life again the pain that propelled me to this point stood up to take my life again.

But this time I was not alone. As I gasped for life, a “New Life” was filling me, freeing me, lifting me.

My last gasp took “that life” and the “New Life” stood up in me.

A peaceful serene that no man can know in “that life” has taken over me.

SARRAS

September 26, 2012 //
1

This poem represents the intimacies of the earth and how it relates to human intimacy.  The earth romances all that inhabits it.  Relationships that allow each other to have mutual individuality, yet oneness with your mate can open the door for continual romance and growing passion.  Let your mind be free to receive the interpretation of this poem “SARRAS”(Setting and Rising, Rising and Setting).

SARRAS 

You are the moon

I am the sun

As you rise I set

As I set you rise

Transitioning…

We breathe completely…

To inhale the other’s energies

And are renewed

The brief encounter tranforms a multitude of life cycles

Morning and Evening

Day and Night

Are ours continuously

Setting and rising

Rising and setting

We are one

DESIRING ONLY YOU

September 25, 2012 //

I wrote the following poem to allow myself to love again.  Forgiving the hurt and refusing to allow that pain to hold me back from being loved and sharing love with the person that is only for me.

The initial title to this poem was “Creeping” then I thought change it to, “Welcoming You”, because I have given myself permission to allow the person that is for me to find me and welcome the love that is just for me.  I changed the title again, because I know who is in my life and desire only you.

I present to you the words to this short poem:

DESIRING ONLY YOU

As I sit relaxing in being me,

Loneliness starts creeping again.

Sneakingly tapping into my unspoken, unshared, and unmet needs.

Desiring for that half, that is only for me

To breath their presence, their being, their life into me and I into theirs.
