BROKEN

Fragile like autumn leaves, turning hues of gold and brown, trampled under foot lay Broken on the ground.
Chafed by the harshness of the concrete below, Thrown here and there whenever cold winds blow, whisked up in a whirlwind then suspended in the air, then cast down erratically then plummeting to despair, though glorious and stunning when last seen in flight now lay crumpled and Broken such a disheartening sight.

smoke filled clouds
flame lit ashes
coo of craving
as time passes
hand to mouth
inhaling for lucidity
yearning to pause
addictions false remedy

A Light in The Fog
Originally uploaded by EdHodges.

I march on although I cant see,
not certain of my surroundings,
I am sure of one thing,
I am walking this road alone,
a quiescent mind searching,
for clarity,
the light in the fog,
in front of me,
I am channelling'
for an epiphany.

Spirit Dance
Originally uploaded by corvid73.

I cant explain why?
this feeling of unease,
is stirring within,
warning me to be cautious,
wait before I let someone in,
it is too late ,
already reaching the point of no return,
all or nothing,
there was safety in solitude,but
something was missing,
my longing has entangled another into dance,
to the rhythm of loves fickle song,
on edge ready to leap beckoned by the beat of hearts,
simultaneously,pulling towards then away from, spinning,
now intertwined as one,
until the tune shifted,
now improvising to a tempered melody,
wildly irrational,
causing a jerking of emotions,
and a pausing of movement,
in total silence,
until the next song plays,
I am at bay,
a slave to the rhythm,
of loves song.

SELF LOVE

Excuse me if I cant fit your one size fit all fashions, you better add some more xxx's, perhaps you think I should eat smaller rations, see I dont have a problem with my size and no I dont always supersize my fries,There's just more of me to love and just because i'm not small and dainty does'nt mean I can't be sexy i'm sexy times 3xxxl , so no I'm not conceited and yes I have a reason to be, appreciating all that makes me unique ,I'm happy god made me just the way that I am finally, I have not always felt this way my view of myself would change day to day depending on my environmental surroundings contingent on if they would be accepting of my width ,should not by any means sum my personal worth I am beautiful and big in size and it took some years to realize ,now I love me unconditionally.

your empty apologies
bounce of me,
acoustically the sound

I am impervious to
your spiel, your voice,
you speak with a forked tongue,
a dialect of deceit,
you prey on me with lies,
you are not what you seemed to be,
your smiling and hiding intentions, but
did i forget to mention ,
I am no longer blinded by your charms.

Father and Child

2006-12-08T00:53:00.000-08:00

What in life has prepared me,
for this responsibility,
holding your fragile life
in my hands, I was not taught
to be a man by the father
that helped conceive me , but
I will give you my all
completely, scared to make
his mistakes, I will not
walk in his footsteps ,
love will guide me
and show me the way,
I will not run ,
my love for you makes
me the better man,
looking at your fragile
face, no greater love
will I ever know, as
the bond between us grows,
holding you in my hands
now more of a man than my
father would allow himself to be,
I accept this duty,
unconditionally.

Fiery ,vibrant,woman

Originally uploaded by pgilliver.

Pools of amber essence,

Deep enough to swim,

Caught inside a view,

Mesmerized within,
When you look beyond,

Windows pierce the soul,
Tell me what you see?
The truth that eyes behold.

raised hands to strike,
to show might to an innocent,
so much power in hands,
you would flinch at sight,
or sound of displeasure,
by any means or measure,
to make your presence,
known or felt cruelness ,
of words or lash of belt,
rearing children,what was
rising was a propensity of
violence,that would haunt he
who has brought it to life,
let sleeping dogs lie, but
dogs don't sleep in our beds
truths come to light, the dog
often bites the hand of the one
that has fed him, misled them
to believe ,you beat them to obey,
searching for unrequited love,and approval ,abuse never goes away, the force from the hand has gone,
pain and the scars linger on.

IN THIS WORLD I MUST BE PERFECT, PURE. I MUST REFRAIN FROM ALL THE NASTY, DIRTY THOUGHTS THAT LURK INSIDE ME, LIKE AN UNOPENED COCOON AWAITING BIRTH, A TRANSFORMATION OF SORTS TO THIS VIVID ,ALIVE AND UNINHIBITED CREATURE, YOU HAVE AWAKENED INSIDE OF ME ,SILENTLY SUBMISSIVELY YOU CALLED OUT TO ME ,WITH OUT SAYING A WORD, YOU HAVE SHAKEN ME LOOSE FROM THE HUM DRUM PREDICTABILITY OF MY FALSE SENSE OF NORMALCY. YOU,VE STIRRED ME DEEPLY IN THE HIDDEN DEPTHS OF MY SOUL, YOU HAVE TOUCHED ON ALL THAT IS TABOU, I FIND MYSELF DISGUSTED BY YOU BUT YET I'M INTRIGUED AND EXPOSED. MY SENSES HAVE BEEN HEIGHTEND , I FEEL YOU ALTHOUGH I'VE NEVER TOUCHED YOU ,I TASTE YOU ONLY IN THE WAY THAT I AM LONGING FOR WHAT IS NOT KNOWN . YOU CALL OUT TO ME, YOU COME FOR ME, BUT I WONT GO I AM AFRAID OF WHAT I MIGHT BECOME. v.holmes

A lovers journey

2006-11-21T11:00:00.000-08:00

Baby your now in the circumference of my love zone, limitless mass, infinite boundaries, vast and wide as the skies, as thick as my thighs around you, nestled under my breast maternal are your thoughts, comfortable as you lay here within my love as natural as the day that you were born, skin to skin your in a realm where you can be free, with me as I melt into you, and you glisten as juices from a ripe vine flow, a taste tester's paradise ,slow , wine , erogenous zones heightened, sighs, moans as I look to a star lit sky to ask why does your love have this affect on me, I'm now in the valley of your love so deep, I have been to the mountain's peak, as i rest my head on your chest, I see god in every part of you covered from head to feet in the midst of clymatic lovemaking, feeling so good my heart is aching, because I couldnt fathom the thought of ever not wanting to feel exactly how I feel right now, real, loved and fulfilled, baby how do you love me ? he replied let me count the ways, from your fingertips to your wide ass hips, crown of your head to the bottom of you feet, MY BIG BEAUTIFUL QUEEN , I love every inch of your body every roll, you are my heart and soul, as we basked in a lover's afterglow, now intertwined in the love we both share, I have a smile on my face because I'm blessed to be here with you, I peek at you as you drift off to sleep, In the circumference of your love I am at peace.v.holmes

REFLECTION

2006-11-21T09:05:00.000-08:00

Reflections of a lost soul bounce off the mirrors in my mind,
Help wanted i'm trying to find what was lost so long ago,
What caused a warm heart to grow cold, Innocence that hung in
the balance of somewhere in between never never land and an
incessant bad dream,Trying hard to find comfort on a dark night,
When the coming of dawn illuminates troubles by daylight, In silence
I pray in thought on bended knee, Wavering of faith crashing inside
like a torrent sea, But my faith was not withstanding , I searched
for the proverbial mustard seed, Lost soul peering through a looking
glass at an image that is fading fast, In hopes of catching a true
glance at the person that i've become, My head is hung in shame all the
while eyes closed hiding like a child, I won't allow myself to look for
I'm afraid of what i might see, In anger I hurl the mirror now, it's
shattered chards of glass all around,I see reflections of a lost
soul little pieces of me broken on the ground. v.holmes

something about you

2006-11-20T20:08:00.000-08:00

semi-awake I look at your face lying there next to me looking heavenly
When I was sleeping I had most beautiful dream , I invisioned living
my life with you,Both of us trying to make wishes and goals come true,
I felt warm inside like a child trying to hide his first crush, With warmed
cheeks embarassed by the thought , I blush i'm feeling little pretty
butterflies flying wild inside, Your the reason i soar high, While
your lying there not even aware of the wonderful things you do, There is
something about your quiet calm way that conveys peace to my mind, Not
stress or strife you bring sublimation and purpose to my life,Just laying
in our bed looking in your face takes me to an alternate world,Another place
caught in that moment for an eternity,The alarm clock starts to ring,The sound
brings me back to the present such a cursed thing,Rather than leave you there in
bed i'll bring you with me in thoughts instead,I lean over and kiss you lightly
as not to wake you from your slumber deep, I showered and dressed and was ready
to depart, I bid you fairwell as I walk out of the door, I'm thinking to myself
now he's truly something to come home for.

THE LAST DANCE

THE LAST DANCE
THE LAST DANCE

I dance in a flicker of a flame as candles burn ,I longed for your return to me,

countless times I called out your name to heavens for the stars to return you ,

I was baptized in a pool of tears as they left dry traces of their remains

tears left stains on my face as I wept a well of water that would outpour any sea

known to man, I sang a song of sweet misery of a love that has not returned to

me,my sad melody. I am a lady in waiting , wanting and longing,for my beloved,

yet I dance in the flicker of flames burnt by love. I'll die this night by the

candles light,I find no warmth in the candles glow, I pray for a wind to snuff

out the flame, The smell of smoke and my soul would remain. v.holmes
