craigslist
a place to find furniture
a place to find work
a place to find sex
I just went on craigslist
to the personals
and began to cry
what’s next, God?
I created an account
and will follow His lead
what’s next
Poetry
“Just One More Time”
broke and broken
regular jobs won’t work
when you’re spoiled
in getting what you want
so you sell what you live in
‘it’s just a body anyway’ Continue reading
“Freedom to Follow”
I have freedom to follow
the voice of my God
freedom to walk in His ways
freedom to dance like a child
freedom to live out my days
freedom to send darkness to hell Continue reading
“Chains are Falling”
keys
keys to the Kingdom
the Kingdom is here
chains need to come off
normally
chains have locks
locks have keyholes
to be opened by keys
often
keys make me think of doors
but as I live my life
I realize I have keys
to open chains
chains of addiction
chains of pornography
chains of promiscuity
chains of rejection
chains of religion
chains of sin
chains of unworthiness
chains of unforgiveness
chains
that need to be opened
with the keys
of victory lived
“Never Change”
I live in faith
I call Your Name
You hear my voice
and stay the same
throughout
You never change
my God Continue reading
“A Little of Everything”
I know what it’s like to be loved
I know what it’s like to be hated
I know what it’s like to be forgiven
I know what it’s like to be resented
I know what it’s like to be welcomed
I know what it’s like to be in the way
I know what it’s like to be remembered
I know what it’s like to be forgotten
I know what it’s like to taste fear
I know what it’s like to breathe faith
I know what it’s like
“Blindfolded”
when the bills are due and you’re just ‘not there’ yet
when everything you spend cuts into the rent
when your problems point to the promises
no need to worry
no need to fret
another opportunity
to trust
to believe
to listen
to move
walking by faith
leaving everything behind
discovering new land
to live in
“In One Dance”
dancing
in a dream
that’s reality
twirling
up on stage
with new desires
beauty
of the flag
released from my heart
do they know
do they realize
does it matter
being up on stage
not craving attention
being up on stage
not looking for money
being up on stage
dancing only for ONE
dancing
to the rhythm of His Love
to the breath of His Spirit
to the thoughts He has of me
years forgotten
time restored
angelic present
releasing a song
of redemption
“The Voice of Traffic”
a cop speeds ahead
on the highway
lights flashing
pacing across all lanes
stopping traffic
not doubt
for safety
the traffic slows
reluctantly
waiting to gun it
ready to pass
but heeding the warning
how many times
has the Holy Spirit
warned us to slow down
maybe stop
and we can’t wait to pass Him
