determination never quits
even if you stand still
it keeps moving

“Lake Tides”
will I be found out
that I’m not happy
will the tears
show through my eyes
they’re like a river
always rising
above the dam
exploding through
drowning seeds
pulling up dirt
mixing the foundation
to look murky
will the murkiness show
without me writing?
will the mask of happiness
become all I know?
time to go put on a show
who put the dam there anyway
Game Points
After Nathan’s workout last Thursday, he’s barely been able to walk, so when the time came around yesterday for him to go back, I gave him the choice of what to do. Continue reading

“Amidst the Garden”
sometimes people
only read
what they want
to hear
this move
moved me
in a saddened way
too much for words
but some words
revealed a state
too much for some
to handle
where friends were needed
but not always wanted
where cries were answered
by heaven’s yes
for those who looked away
through tougher times
thank you
for not putting me down
for those who called
to leave a message
thank you
for leaving your voice
for those who rose up
from out of nowhere
thank you
for being somewhere
in the end of now
I’m able to relate
because of what
I’ve gone through
or better yet
what “I’ve” put “myself” through
Peekaboo
Today, I’m going to hide-out on my website. If you know me, you know what that means. In reality, it doesn’t make sense to hide out where the world can see you, but to me, it makes perfect sense, so here we go. Continue reading
“Remote Control”
when you’re complete with God’s love
nothing else’s needed
when you know who you are
the mirror’s your friend
this move’s been a battle
that I’ve taken personally
but it’s not against “me”
it’s to tear down the Kingdom
but that’s not happening
not today
not tomorrow
not on MY watch
before I’m a mother
before I’m a wife
before I’m a friend
I’m a mighty woman of god
and this mighty woman
plans on winning every battle
because the Joy of the Lord
is my Strength
“Infinity Lake”
have you ever
wondered
if you’ll ever run out
of tears
“Anonymous Bound”
of course I want to write
what everyone likes
and I want to like
everything I read
but we’re all different
our hearts
our minds
our thoughts
our intake
so being “all”
wouldn’t work
and to write what I know
what’s inside
seems wrong
so I’ve gotten married
this fairytale life
that plays out like
a nightmare
but I can’t explain it
maybe I’ll create a website
in secret
no name
no identity
just a heart
expressing out loud
is what I do
but expressing out loud
is what I “can’t” do
so all of me’s inside
sometimes hiding
always waiting
wondering
when tears will fall
I’m not here to make sense
I’m here to BE love
but in marriage
sometimes that seems
difficult
