Sway
Ammunition packed hips grove to hand beaten leather.
Collarbone made for wishing and bangs full of feather.
Beet stained patterns meet glowing skin.
Lustful gazes attract through magnetism of sin.
Plum lips licked as sweat fountains fall.
Clanking bangles hula-hooping both wrists so small.
Aged earlobes droop above rhythmic shoulders.
Lead knees quickly rise, lifting feet that can’t hold...

How I want to live...
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;where there is hatred, let me sow love;where there is injury, pardon:where there is doubt, faith;where there is despair, hopewhere there is darkness, lightwhere there is sadness, joyO Divine Master,grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;to be understood, as to understand;to be loved, as to love;for it is in giving that we receive,it...
BIG UPS to the lovers:
To those that have silently volunteered or donated this week (you know love)
To the miracle makers: women that have given birth this year (you know love)
To the men that have kindly let a girl go rather than waste her time (you know love)
To the couple that does sweet things for each other, just because (you know love)
To those that correct their friends when they’re wrong (you know...

A confusing memory for lonely days...
I’m glad to have given something- an excuse for your bad ways. You blame the wine, the rum, but not yourself- you blame this embrace and my long legs. You have used me as your mattress, a place of comfort on rough days- but instead of wrapping you with softness I now surround you with my faith. You see a real change within me and you know that I’m headed out- so you cling with strangling fingers,...

The best I could describe you...
A label of love is tattooed to your feet and coils of compassion bind your hands. Your eyes first spy complacency in their color blindness and are soaked with the clarity that has flooded your mind. An armor of truth protects your body and overlaps the legs of soldiers that carry you through madness. And I’ve never met such attentive ears- set with reminders to encourage your lips to pass...

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle between two ‘wolves’ is inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good. It...

Stolen and Tortured- How Would You Respond?
What would we say of a young adult that was captured, stolen from their normal routines and held captive in a setting of isolation and torture. This young adult, who has been trapped in lightless confinement with no interaction beyond that of their abuser, showcases the resiliency of the human mind. Creating games of logic from scraps of napkin. Any attempts to communicate result in terroristic...

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

fishforpeople:
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
You're thankful even for help you don't need.
dailypeptalk:
Pep Talk: People who love you very much may occasionally do bizarre, misguided things because they want you to be happy. Breathe, show gratitude, and get over it. You’re lucky to be so adored and, in the end, you’re going to make your own choices anyway.
Today remind yourself: I’m thankful even for help I don’t need.
