Ladder

I would drop you a ladder

Ask you to climb

Up Up Up

To me

But if I have to ask you

It just means you aren't ready.

So I wait.

Lurking

People Lurk.
"They soooo social."
(That's sarcasm.)
People Lurk.
It's easy.
It requires no effort.
Relational?
No.
People Lurk
Because it's easy

Emotions Suck

The edge of the canyon of numb
Needing....Wanting
So badly to jump into the deep darkness
Fight the desire to hide in the void, in the cold
The knowledge of real LOVE keeps me from that last step
From jumping
Change....swirling inside me
Beckons me to quiet my soul
To listen to the whisper
The voice of Love
The feeling of peace
The spirit of comfort

The arms of strength

The giver of joy

I step back from the edge

Slowly

Even though my body is trembling from fear,

I know I'm not alone.

And He won't let me jump.

And I look up and remember home.

And I remember
My Lover

Kevin Walker Poetry: Passing By

Check out this great poem by Kevin Walker.

Kevin Walker Poetry: Passing By: I pass her by everyday. Tired eyes And a weary smile Are her only adornments. She looks toward me, But, quickly, I turn the other direction....

One Day

One day I won't have to lead my friends to celebrate Black History month. One day when the whites do it before me, I'll know things have changed.


One day when whites post videos of positive and beautiful black women and treat black men with respect, I will know that we are accepted.

One day when it will not be blacks against whites. It will be people for people. 

One day you will love us. One day you will be fair. One day there will be no need to have a Black History month.

One day our histories will be one. One united history.

That day is not today.

Empty, But Not Numb

River flows in and out

empties into my soul

the energy, the vibe

the movement of the Spirit

the rhythm of the dance

the compassion of the heart

all encompass in the lyrics

the song that can not end

the lessons learned

the pain released

the healing that began

when one would speak

soft voice he had

deep and alluring

moved me to tears

pulled rich emotions up from the fear

my soul is crying

my eyes are longing

why I miss you so

I do not know

the stars still illuminate the sky

My heart is daily saying goodbye

My emotions are alive

are real inside

and I thank you

for helping me see

that empty does not mean alone

numb does not equal emptiness.

the journey of the soul

the complexities of one's life.

understanding nothing of

the depth of a life-

That is confusion

to the soul.

Freedom calls from

One that is life.

one that is confused

that is seeking...
Is reaching out

the heart that is

Empty, but not numb

July 28, 2005 - Come Out!

I scream so loud, but no one hears. I fight inside to hide my fears. I hate, I hate to be here! Why can't I just die? Like Elijah, I'm calling to You!

SELAH

I think this world is blind.

We all run around and act as though we're fine. The lies we tell, the hearts we break, and our selfish SOUL-it aches.



What can I say? We like to dine with sin. We like to call him our friend! "I'm ok as long as no one knows or cares." How can we be so blind? How can we continue to grieve the heart of our God? WHERE IS OUR MIND? How can we ignore Him when He calls our name?

Does He deserve our Lover sin? Did Jesus forget that He saved our souls way back then? Is His heart made of ice and cold? Or does He wait for us to venture forth from our darkness, from our shadows and call on Him inspite of the snow? Does He realize that it is so hard for us to accept His love? When will He learn to let us go?

My God is a God that knows. His love He shows. My God disciplines.

My God does not condone sin.

BUT MY GOD FORGIVES THOSE WHO COME TO HIM. HE CALLS US TO HIS HOUSE AND HE SAYS "COME IN"!

COME OUT

COME OUT

FACE HIM-- KISS HIS SON

HE'S HERE! ----- HE FORGIVES

COME OUT

Pure Drink

Preface -- This is a poem about a friendship. It isn't about love at all, not really. About a pure friendship. 



 Pure Drink

Let me pour you a drink
It will consist of my love
It will be light and crisp
Filled with Passion and Desire
Filled with Loyalty and Kindness
It will have a hint of joy and a touch of whine
It has the side effect of making you dizzy with wonder
Many are captivated with a curiosity about what makes me shine
Many have yearned to touch my soul
Some have been, at times,
Drunk on my mystery
Intoxicated by my wonder

I never let them in
I never let them stay

They just drink my wine

My lover,who is true, never ever
needs a sip of my drink

His love is pure
He sees me for the maiden I am
And he doesn't change me
And I won't change him

Our love is pure
No chains, No rings, No demands
Our love is pure

Deep

[Preface -- This is about a friend of mine that I loved. I still love. Sometimes it's hard to get to know people when they have walls up around their heart. You can't just destroy the walls quickly without destroying the person.]

There's a sadness about you

There's a sadness about me

There is BEAUTY in you
There is BEAUTY in me

I take the time to see you
Do you take the time to discover me?
Do I care enough to know you?
Do you care enough to feel something for me?

Is fear keeping you at a distance?
Am I trying to hard?
Did I push you away?
Maybe I'm not ready to let you in
or give my heart away

There's a sadness about you
There's a sadness about me

Maybe there is something deep
Deeper than my hesitation
Caused by me
Intimidated by you
I stay behind the fence
I am afraid to take the first step
Inside
On the outside, I remain
Maybe there is something deep

Deeper than your broken heart
Deeper than the pain that keeps us both apart
Maybe
There
Is
Something
Deep
