You wanted into my garden.
Wanted this wild flower.
Be prepared to see 
my imperfections, as I am
pulling up weeds 
planting new seeds, growing
maturing into my purpose 
on Earth.

You wanted in my garden.
To see this wild flower.
Be prepared for the storms,
for when it rains it pours,
things may appear muddy
with puddles of tears
everywhere
when the sun doesn’t shine
on my life.

You treated me like crap,
It’s a good thing that I’m treating myself
Better!
There was no place in the world
I wanted to be
If I had to be, me.

I believed in you
Uplifted you,
No reciprocity,
Greater than grand,
The Grand Poohbah,
Crowned and exalted,
You stood tall on my support,
With two feet firmly planted.

Spoke it into existence,
Believed in it, when you didn't believe,
Until it became a reality,
You floated on the power of my prayers,
From the breath of my words,
The air from my lungs,
From my heart given with love,
Completely drained my energy,
Nada in return,

Burned your mix-tape.

Honey, I'm Home

Your voice is the rescue my heart waits for

It brings harmony to moments before

I color myself in your aura 

My arms dance around to embrace you

You're like cherry wood 

Sophisticated

You're like cherry chapstick

Tasted

You're like cherry vodka

The relaxing highlight of my day

To many more years

Cheers!

Temporary Reprieve

Keys - Photo by Casila

This home was built to keep me safe

To sleep in warmth

To prepare meals to eat 

To shower my stress away

My santuary to pray

To mediate the confusion away.

My happiness was felt here

Happy, when I set a vase of flowers on my table

Happy, when I lit scented candles to perfume the air

Happy, when I sipped hot tea infront of the tv

My temporary reprieve from suffering.

Never complain about the slowness of time.  Someone else may be needing a moment.  You needed a moment.  - Ms. Casila

I'm excited, I'm so anxious

I know it's going to happen for me

Gosh, I wish time would just hurry

I'm all set and ready

I know it's coming

I can't wait to see

I just know it, I can feel it

Ugh, what time is it?
