the power of will

a desire to survive
a will to succeed
power and strength
to go on and prosper
regardless of an outcome
reprieve or onslaught
I sought for renewal
only to find it within

Bring on the Rain

In a wasteland of memories
Lies the footprints
Indelible
My past slowly erodes
Yet fossilized
I remain
Yet never alone

I am reminded
By each hug
gentle ear and smile
That love is alive
I am here for the sheer joy
Of bringing happiness
Peace to darkness
Solace to destructiveness

I ache for those who mutilate
Sacred waters upon their skin
A barrier of epidermis
Meant to shed and wither
Yet grow and renew
As the seasons change

Bring on the rain

You are my Ocean..to Pink

PINK..this one's for you


you are my ocean
afloat kept on dreams
of tears dried by your prayers
you heard my cries
granted answered wisdom
untold love I give hope
to all those that suffer and reach out
that they meet
discover and encounter divine
beauty such as you display
the ultimate testimony of faith
to reach beyond what you felt possible
rise so far surpass winds that spoke
change whispered to you in God's name
that you were meant to be of asistance
and by God I mean to say to you today
that I love you and slowly fell closer to your side
which each verse of naked truth
that hit like a suckerpunch
so painful raw and real


God's gurl, I love you cherish you always keep you close to my soul for i know in a flash you would be right here with me by my side on your knees with me to pray....

Just for Today


love Jess

everlasting sisters!
I test the waters
shallow
then suddenly
I sink under
yet buoy
gently gliding
upon gentle
hands unseen
that cleanse
cleanse impurities
only I impose
upon myself

so as I sit and watch the sunset
I think of all the blessings
I received that day
all the gifts continuing to reign
for gifted are those
who refuse to abuse
accept nothing less than
what they deserve

I will reap
I will triumph
I already won
long ago history past
for I dreamed of a time
There was a prophecy
I would be shining
a true smile
a towering powerful
sunflower
never wavering
or wilting
undying
peaceful
true colors
glow

Everything he wanted

he liked it his way, all positions his choice
time and place..all his
I had to do what he wanted
if I resisted boy was there a meltdown
crybaby hissy fit
I thought he cared
but when self medicating
you brought your misery into my space
intruded your depression in my core
while I only wanted to be treated better
like I know I deserve
It sure does feel good
to no longer have to carefully step around an issue
beg to be left alone
in my own place
use my own computer
without fear of repercussions for you found
a picture of a guy
well sorry, or not, to break it to you
that I have a lot of male friends and
NO MAN TELLS THIS GIRL WHO TO SPEND TIME WITH
TALK TO OR LOVE
what position to lie
bribery for sexual acts
anger in response to sadness
guilt trips and coercion

honey sorry to break it to you
but i said no a lot

what does that say about you?

today is your birthday
let's see it's been..what
six years of you
haunting my darkest
hours of nightime
thundering feet
stomping like hooves
to propel me
kick me down the stairs
I felt guilty
you died a painful death
I wished that
I felt guilty
you fell in a coma
the day I said
"why won't he just die already!'
So today you would have been

ummm who cares
for even though my love and forgiveness
is strong
my mind and weighted chest and mind
will never ever forget
