 Buried in the leaves
Fallen I hid my true colors Still green and full of life I breathed in perpetual Spring While shriveled cynicism And morbid moribunds Covered me with their decaying ways Wonder I did What the evergreen must Think When the air becomes Thick With the changing of the guard Doubt surely Must bleed through his Bark And drip on receding Roots Eroding the faith Once unwavering In the love of his Creator Who promised the wind Would one day come And paint sky between the trees So light could Wake the fallen Buried in the leaves

 You know when you’ve read a poem
Not by its questionable rhyme Nor its disdain for punctuation And complete disregard for time Not by its love for the ordinary Nor its refusal to stay on the page Not by its willingness to hold you While you break free from Maya’s cage Not by its rare discernment Nor its way for making you think Not by its need to meet you While your soul steps out to drink You know when you've read a poem When you have no wish to speak For the words that came upon you Said what your heart told you last week  The day I fell in love with
You You told me we could just Be friends The next morning I woke up For you To tell you that was all I Needed The night I lost my heart in You You told me yours worked just as well The next morning I woke up With you To tell you that I was still Alive The day I left my life for You You told me you were 3 Steps ahead The next morning I woke up To you To tell you that we hadn't Made it out of bed The night I stared into your Divine creation You told me it was made From colored pencils The next morning I woke up In you To tell you that my world Was just rainbows I walked this life, without Knowing your smile For too many breathes, and Too manymiles I waited for you, not Knowing you'd be My life, my heart, my love's Destiny  You didn't deserve to be listened to
But I did anyway You didn't deserve to take my time But I gave it to you anyway You didn't deserve to have my patience But you received it anyway We crawl out of dark places To meet the rising sun To feel that, indeed We do not need to crawl Back Awash in a world of humility Tolerance Generosity Compassion Some find the light And shower with God's Grace While others crawl back Into that deep dark place An internal hell That acts as a sanctuary From the truth That love will always Win  If I told you
I knew where these words Came from You would either call me a liar Or God Or someone lying about God If I told you I knew where to find a poet Who took credit for her stanzas You would either call me a liar Or God Or someone lying about poets I f I told you Where to find the lines That played by different rules You would either call me a poet Or God Or someone lying about the difference  I wrote with you within my heart
Before I knew yours was beating I wept with you within my tears Before I knew you could feel them I dreamt with you between my wakes Before I knew I’d find you there I broke with you within my Fears Before I knew you saw the Pieces I walked with you between My steps Before I knew it was the path To you I prayed with you between My breathes Before I knew that you could Answer I loved with you within my Being Before I knew you’d love it so I was with you within the all Before I knew you’d be there too  The garden with no gate
Waits for us to enter Two Travelers Headed towards the City of Light With no other place to stay Accused for our beliefs Uncertainty drenching our clothes Two Flames Speaking for the sake of life Knowing no other way Dancing in the moonlight While the fireflies blow us Kisses Two souls Forgetting the fear of judgment With Nothing more to say Accepting the purposelessness Along wth the duties of the doing Two children Skipping to the stories of the youthful For there was no where else to play The garden with no gate Waits for us to enter Two breaths Passing peacefully into the unknowable For it is there, where we Come To pray  My concrete feet
Stumble under the life Looking for green Beyond the steel in sight Humbled by storefronts Selling me their goods I wonder to myself Where are my woods? Having walked into the city With its parallel streets Can I find an escape From the rush hour fleets? Continuing I step Over man made lies My heart taking over For my worn out eyes Feeling the warmth From a corner come near Easing the stumble Into a fall without fear For my heart had seen Where my soul could land In the arms of a church With strenght to stand Having found an oasis To water and pray No matter the village Nor time of day So remmber your choice And find your peace For He shines on metal And glistens to cease The worries in your mind Ready to come home To the City of Light Where all hearts shall roam  Distance dividing
Miles apart Attempting to break down What is true in my heart Journeys new And transitions on Bringing more to face With each day's dawn Months now gone For 2 stories shared More lives to touch For those who dared Having leapt before Finding drft in the wind I leap once more With wings towards my Friend My partner, my only My onetil the end For it is thee I follow And from despair I ascend The troubles and doubts That emerge hence to fight The dreams that we have And the path we now light To walk as one Hand in hand Healing the sick The best we can So I say aloud For all to hear I walk this road Because I have no fear Overcoming hate With Faith our salve United in love For all to have I reveal myself To come to know you To free our minds To no longer see two I wake in tears Yearning for you Naked at my core Raw flesh born new Shedding what's not us What came from the past The ways holding us back From our Divine so vast Making space for growth Required by love When two become one To serve what's above  I am a light for you
As you are a light for me You are the only one who Can show me how to heal How to become and remain Whole Just as I am the only one Who holds the way The light for you In ways I cannot imagine And in ways I do not wish to Be true You show me love You show me the paths and The ways I must walk However foreign To unite our light for the Wonder of the world With a patient heart And soft words I whisper upon your ways Listening for the silence That will tell me I'm home I'm loved I'm with you I may stumble I may clutter the moment With worries none should Bear But I will persist To exist And resist The ways of the wicked So I can hold you And our child Before God And say I am yours You are mine We are the worlds All are divine |
