Masquerade(the last dance)

CATEGORY

life

The party is over,
all masks are off.
The time to pretend to be what you're not has come to an end.
What do we do after the final dance is over? Remove the mask,
no need to pretend anymore.
It was all make believe wasn't it?
You danced a beautiful dance in the beginning. You moved my heart with your rhythm.
Silly me for joining in, for moving with you, dancing a dance that wasn't meant for me.
I attempted to let you take center stage and it wasn't meant for you.
I should have never let you have my stage
but the mask was so beautiful,
the dance seemed so majestic.
The music was too loud,
the stage was too dark,
I only saw what I wanted.
I danced this dance before, its not my rhythm.
I tried to follow the lead but I seemed to be dancing with an amateur.
This dance wasn't meant for you.
But the mask was so beautiful.
The room was too dark,
I couldn't see the colors fading.
I couldn't tell the beat was off until the the last dance.
All masks are off,
the last dance has been danced.
This masquerade is over.
I see your faded colors, your true self.
My stage wasn't meant for you, your dance wasn't meant for me.
The tears under my mask are all that's invited to my solo after party.

Who Is She?

A cynical breath of laughter escaped her lips is she examined her self in the mirror. Seeing everything no one else saw, Who is she? Instead of the twinkle everyone else saw, she saw weariness behind her eyes that cried rivers from joy but more often pain. Instead of a captivating smile she saw regret on lips from words unspoken but more often spoken to the wrong person. Instead of a kind & gentle heart she saw a jaded heart from a scorned past, from heartache to heartbreak but she still tried to mend the pieces. She saw tired hands at the ends of sore arm, aching feet at the end of weakening legs. Who is she? Only exposing this side of her to the mirror, she picks her head up, crowning her self in confidence. She wipes away her weariness, covers her regrets, hides her pain. She nurtures herself back into her strength. She scolds the mirror for not letting her see herself. She is self-beheld beauty. She is strength in its purest form. She is obstacles overcome & road...

Toxic Lover

Cold sweats & shivers take over my body I feel a warm stream of tears on my cheek as scream in pain to drain you out of my system. All it took was one hit One hit of you I took you in, in one puff and exhaled in ecstasy with a tingle in every nerve, floating on cumulonibus as the rain sounds soothed me into my pipedream of you & I becoming a we & you wanting only me. I breathed in your scent to heighten the sensation. The warmth of your touch brought me back to sanity. I was hooked after a look, stuck one touch, fiending to find meaning in a craving that left me screaming. It was poison & I loved it & I loved you more for supplying me, living a lie with me, going on a pipedream high with me But when it wore off it hurt. Sending sharp pains through me as I try to break from my addiction of you. Repeating "you can do it, you don't need the medication" over & over until I cleanse the toxic lover out my system while wanting nothing but more. Getting no rest,...

Abba's Wisdom

YOU whisper your love for me in the wind It breezes across my cheeks like a gentle caress & while soothing my anguish warms my heart. YOU do love me. I've been told before but was in total disbelief. How could one so magnificent love someone so unworthy? I've tried to run like prodigal son but I always seem to go in the same circle & now instead of YOU chasing me I'm chasing YOU! I've run long enough & I'm tired. I'm giving up on this race I've been running to stay on a track to YOU because in the end all I've lost was time I could've spent in our relationship wrapped in your arms under an umbrella of unconditional love. Lord, surrender to you. But this path is not easy. My struggle is real, You told me to look to you. The urge to look back is strong but you took my hand and gently said" eyes forward, I don't want you to fall. You stood in the midst of the lions & wanted to be apart of the hunt. I've raised your reborn body & they roared in your acceptance. Take your place in my pri...

The Resignation

I'm done, I quit

I'm freeing my heart from it's position

Time to walk away

An official resignation

As a tidal wave of emotion crashes in my heart

My soul begins drowning

Kim's Pain (I feel it)

Kim's pain was mind numbing

She watched him in sorrow

How could he do that to her?

She loved him too!

Why wasn't she good enough?

She loved him too!

Beautiful Black

Let's take a flashback in time

A moment to rewind

When we once marched on one accord

Or sang follow the drinking gourd

When our families fought for freedom

And had Harriett Tubman to lead them

No Time

To fall asleep I reminisce

I wake up to what ifs

It doesn't seem to matter the time

You always consume the thoughts in my mind

Thoughts of you being mine

But you don't have the time

You don't have the moment to spare

Though I dream of you being there

My nightmare came true

I've grown too fond of you

And the more I crave to have you near

I realize you don't have time to be here

As I rewind previous moments in my mind

I continuously grow to appreciate those time

But in the back of my mind I realize

I can't fall for yo...

2014

Pour me a glass

Let's toast to the past

with this year anew

Let's tunnel a successful view

Let's fight for a cause

Let purpose take the wheel

Let's heal from what we've lost

and let hurt and sadness be sealed

Open your eyes to experience

Don't be afraid of falling

Be open to love

Walk in you godly calling

Pour another glass

Let us toast to the past

And may this year

be better than the last.

Untitled

Undress for me

Thrill on

Let the air kiss your skin

Chill on

Put your hands on me

Feel on

Rock me until I fall asleep

Drill on

Let's love on this leather

Bathe in our pleasure

Move to the bed

Time for...... Mic check 1,2

Let's try whatever comes to your mind

Let's love undefined

relax our racing hearts and rewind

And go overboard at the same time

Let's fall asleep in our afterglow

Hold me closely until you have to go

Let's leave a...

Winter Bitter

As snow falls like leaves

Ice glistening on the trees

Families grateful for God's glory

People sharing the Christmas story

I ly cold hearted

Remembering when it started

Then the icy winds first flew

I turned holiday blue

I turned winter bitter

I turned ice cold

I dreaded the weather

As it began to unfold

Screw silent nights

Silence jingle bells

I hate chestnuts

And Rudolf's tale

Who cares about Santa

Or to which town he came

Or wh...
