‼️WHEN LOVE PREVAILED‼️

‼️WHEN LOVE PREVAILED‼️

A Knight upon
Medieval time
When love prevailed
In deaths downtime

He stood before me
In a suit of armour
Consumed I was
At all his grandeur

Strong and tall
All aglow
The fires heat
Melting snow

Lines of battle
Upon his face
Death in victory
Rise to grace

Within the war
He did win
Before me now
Is this sin?

Desire ruptures
Heavens opened
The doors of hell
Beg our descend

From my heart
And to my mind
A man so fierce
And yet so kind

Rugged scars
And skin torn fresh
I go to him
And I caress

A bond of love
Most powerful
Stronger still
And Visceral

Primal forces
Meant to be
What must be done
Will surely be.

‼️A SOUL YOU COULD KNOW‼️

‼️A SOUL YOU COULD KNOW‼️

While you were walking

To where you must go

The darkness encasing

And rain turns to snow

I see your faces

And there is more

The many places

You were before

The glow of the smile

The lines of a frown

What lasts for a while

Becomes your crown

What you do wear

Upon your dear face

Comes with the stare

From another place

How you did greet

The day when anew

Impressed your feet

And carried you through

I passed by your side

And saw in your look

The soul cannot hide

Your face is a book

For all you encountered

And all you did live

Your thoughts have devoured

And your face does give

You stare to the ground

Or grin to the sky

But when you look around

You’ll know I walked by

For a brief intermission

As you felt for a moment

A bout of confusion

A sudden bestowment

The brain is confused

And thrown out of joint

The heart is bemused

And searches this point

The air all around

Is warm and aglow

The moment you found

A soul you could know

‼️WHEN YOU DON’T SEE ME‼️

‼️WHEN YOU DON’T SEE ME‼️

What do you see

When you look for me?

What do you hear

When I tell you my fear?

What do you say

When I tell you to pray?

What do you do

When I reach for you?

What do you think

When I seldom blink?

What do you feel

When I tell you it’s real?

What do you hold

When I speak so bold?

What do you know

When I also show?

What do you give

When I ask you to live?

What do you flaunt

When I did not want?

What do you need

When I did plead?

What do you value

When I implored you?

What do you grieve

When you don’t believe?

What do you miss

When I say all this?

What do you recall

When I say that’s all?

What do you share

When I tell you I care?

What do you trust

When I tell you, you must?

What do you love

When I ask all above?

What do you see

When you don’t see me?

‼️WITHIN THE HEART‼️

‼️WITHIN THE HEART‼️

Within the heart

There is a place

Where we must go

Face to face

For all we fear

And all we love

It’s here we know

And think most of

Where it resides

Inside of us

It is right here

We must discuss

What it is

That we do need

In order to

Further proceed

There is truth

In all you see

But inside of you

Is reality

It’s not out there

Where you must give

It is inside

Where you must live

Within the heart

That we can feel

It’s all right here

The final deal

When you look hard

And spend some time

Within this place

In pure downtime

The most expensive

Gift there is

Time with you

Is most priceless!

‼️A NIGHT IN THE SHELTER‼️

Happy Sunday Beautiful People!

Today being December 1st and a whole new month with lots to do,

I thought for a bit and what it meant to you?

This time of year with all celebrations,

Achievements, trials and tribulations..

I thought some more and wondered too

About the things we’re here to do

Not everyone sees the world the same way

Nor all do partake in what happens each day

So in the month of December, it was on my mind

There’s people out there, needing us to be kind.

I wrote this poem when I worked at a shelter as an Emergency Service Worker.

It was my first job after University…

Being fresh from University… this job I had….really taught me!

Let’s #share and #care no matter who

Our birthright of dignity demands us too!

‼️A WAVE GOOD BYE‼️

‼️A WAVE GOOD BYE‼️

I wave to you so franticly
Although in vane, you cannot see
It’s been years since I’ve been here
And now your steps are nowhere near
As you follow paths unknown
It seems to me we’re not alone
By choice and lack of passion deep
There’s some for many that never keep
A journey started long ago
Destiny’s aid did not forgo
And though you had an empty bag
It’s sad for those who chose to lag
So in the end it’s time to unpack
All life’s blessings off the rack
So full for some and less for few
It seems unfair to those who knew
But thank you for the lesson learned
For all I’ve lost and all I’ve yearned
Without the life of living fair
I’d know not how this courage dare
I know my strength because of you
It’s quite extraordinary, all I do
And now I’m grateful; yes I am
There is love and no exam
Carry on, I’ll wave to you
It’s time to go and say adieu
Without the needs; not much to give
Clearly now I see why you did live
I’ll stand and watch your shadow go
I’ll thank the Lord for all I know
Without this love and God’s embrace
I’ll smile and think of your dear face
May peace be there to greet your soul
I lower my wave and pay the toll
No answers can I kindly reveal
For all must live and hope to heal.
