CHAPTER ONE

A love requested

A poem called for

Of gyrating feelings

And blushing faces

Melting souls

And racing hearts.

A heart-adorned sky

And pregnant overflowing

Teary clouds of bliss

Soul ironed by peace.

I found love in your ocular

No need for binoculars

I have finally found you

The bone of my bones.

A part of my destiny

Cerebral epiphany

All my voices sing in harmony

Dancing in elation.

A ridiculous note

I sit here

Alone to the company of my shadow

Upon the wall

Calling my name

A whisper of an ungrateful friend

The tears creep

The bones creek

My stomach churns

To a moment I scream

And darkness yells

The cold feeling inside my soul

Wanting me to wake from the day dream I

Fail to sleep

The due of night

Makes the day of my sight

What to do to entertain myself

Talk to me.

A wrath full of swords for the of the Lord

They say wow look at that loser,

They say hey there goes that goof.

They say anything that's hurtful as long as it's never the truth,

All day my ears filled with hatred

It comes from every known direction,

As I walk about no way blocking out the endless

Hurtful words infection

Lord I cry out unto you,

You never showed me what to do.

I can't believe forgiveness by itself will be

Enough to get me through.

For though as I volunteered for this at soul,

I wouldn't dare to see the weight

Of that this burden wouldn't be too great for

Me alone to take.

From out the cosmic womb you formed me.

In all your limitless perfection.

But Lord these last few years my endless tears

Fill up these pools for my reflection.

All day long pain I be

All day long pain I be

My face slapped in shame

Failed I the test of poetry

Rejected, dejected became symbolic.

The road to greatness is sham

My poetry is mixed reaction

Of joy in confusion

Who shall rescue me?

Told I to do away with poetry

But my heart speak poetry

Am broken in search of poetry

Who shall find me?

My poetry not mistake

But a sweet cake

I'll love poetry

I'll eat poetry

I'll speak poetry

For the scripture is poetry.

Always called incorrigible

Always called incorrigible

Rebellious of the core

Only wanting to express herself

Be free; nothing more.

Wanting to be understood

Needing to be loved,

But never feeling wanted,

Angry, when she was shoved

Confusion birthed creativity

Fluid with her tools

Now a grown up woman

Successful, wearing jewels

Still a little rebellious

Loves deep, no more blues

Thankful she chose her own path

And told
