poetry is a way
for you to know me
each line
an open door
to see what’s inside
to read between the lines
to read behind the lines
all of it truth
all of it out there
as the words

there’s a moment created
for you to ask
for you to listen
for you to understand
for you to delve
and get to know me
if you want
truth

so they don’t have to minister elsewhere Continue reading

This song is a cry from that heart. Continue reading
“Heart Reflection”
a mirror
a reflection
what’s there to see
not the truth of the heart
and mind
seeing isn’t believing
believing is knowing
to know someone
what comes from their mouth
what comes to their mind
revealing the heart
is it beautiful
it should be
“Trapped in Isolation”
what about that ‘Christian’ who can’t stop having sex
what about the one who can’t stop drinking
what about the one who speaks death instead of life but really wants life Continue reading
