Back In July (The One That Never Got To You)

Sunset

No headlights 
Scattered clouds 
Light blue skies 
With my ruby red Love glasses on 
Clearer vision to the illusion 

I admit it 

My last poem about you was uncalled for 

Maybe, who knows 

I will do anything and everything for you, to not notice
Sometimes 
If it’s from U 
More subtle each time
Scenes of my favorite song at the moment with you in it
Would love to join but why would I be there 
I could be an unpaid “worker” if it meant I could get a glimpse
“Bring me my sandals and go light up the candles”
To familiar trees and greens surrounding you
About an hour and so out with traffic 
Something Mary & Joseph couldn’t say 
Only our Lord knows how crazy we are 
Hearing the same crickets outside 
The creatures that let us know it’s nighttime 
Tonight
The closest I’ve ever been to U, in the land of the living 
That I know of 
Meet with me when I decide to close my eyes
Hope you enjoy the rain while you’re here
Go to sleep 

No Victory Without Suffering

Miracles happening on Peachtree rd 

Ones that has nothing to do with money 

Ones that love and care are needed 

Just God working 

A dreadful chapter in a young married couple’s life

A chapter that no young love should live through this early on

Crying for my sister, because I know how it is to have no self love 

Not being able to feel or do what others can

Knowing how hospitals can be after 2020

Luckily she married my brother that’s just as strong as her 

A love that many hope to have one day

Speeding home so I can finish this 

How can you know something is good without going through the days of void first

Everyone wants you at the end of them 

Everyone wants to be comfortable 

Have the blessings 

Be a part of yours 

But never learn from the process 

Hear or see the ugly

Glad I can feel for the parched 

The broken and lost

While the world mocks 

I will be next to them 

Not caring 

I am attracted to the “freaks”

I will lay down my life for mine 

Everyone else is so boring

Love your process 

And be with your Lord   

You Will Not Perish Here

You, master of none 

Only of what where when and why you spend your time on 

Time and life 

Blessings that many lose every morning or night 

The blessing of free will 

The blessing of breathing 

The blessing of feasting

blessed to be in this desert

Many would’ve lost it and decide to be their own God 

Remember these days when you are comfortable once more 

When you find water

Remember these days for the days ahead, far worse temptations will hit your body, soul and mind 

Help the one staggering behind and maybe they’ll do the same  

Remember these days because once you’re gone, you won’t be back again

Pick up and take whatever you find in there, it is meant for you 

Never let anything or anyone come in between of us again 

For I know you’ve felt me use you and bring you happiness out of nothing

For I know you can’t even go a week without speaking to me anymore 

For I know you use the words I place in you in your red blog

For I know you unlike anyone you’ll ever meet

For I know you

You, master of none
