In Your Presence

I love being in your presence The only time this world makes sense. I see the devil’s deeds down every avenue Looking to include the next name in his list Another one that went amissAnd didn’t listen to God’s promises My favorite spot is in Your presence,the only time this world makes sense. So manyContinue reading “In Your Presence”

Hold Me Tight

I enjoy writing by hand and prefer it over typing. I especially enjoy a good glass dip pens but I have only used mine a handful of times. It is simply a huge task to undertake with small children running around and I really hate cleaning up ink. I like writing in cursive and printContinue reading “Hold Me Tight”

Oh How Sweet

Another attempt at a free verse poem. Oh how sweetis the sound of pitter patter feet. When you’ve been told it would never be reality. To be barren and without child, when one desires is a pain like no other; it burns like a thousand fires. A hurt deep within the soulthat only a womanContinue reading “Oh How Sweet”

Greed & Corruption

I enjoy reading free verse poetry but have never liked the way I wrote it. It would always seem sloppy and like something was missing. Despite my critical eye I have written this free verse poem. I enjoyed creating it but the occasional rhyme still leaped out from time to time. I hope my readersContinue reading “Greed & Corruption”

Come Home To Your Words

There’s a door I’ve been avoiding, painted white with years of silence, and you know the one I mean— the one that creaks when I approach with trembling fingers wrapped around a pen that’s forgotten how to bleed. I stand before this threshold now, myContinue reading “Come Home To Your Words”

Hit The Kill Switch

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? Relax and release.How is it I find peace? When the day draws nigh,and the sun drops low in the sky. Why my brain is fuzzy and my body worn,but inside my brain is torn. Do I lay downContinue reading “Hit The Kill Switch”

Peace

The only peace to be found is when You are around. Lost within your words,a safe place to be heard. Your my anchor in the storm,guiding me and helping me transform. No matter the struggle, no matter the pain,I will forever call upon Your name. I’ve had highs and I’ve had lows,but everyday I chooseContinue reading “Peace”

Sparkle

There once was a little girl who sparkled and shimmered everywhere she went. Her mother clapped and cheered along with her flamboyant and eccentric style. The little girl started school but the teacher didn’t like her sparkle. She would often get in trouble and was labeled as disruptive. The other children would laugh and stare,Continue reading “Sparkle”
