poetry session - 11/26

next lifetime



Next lifetime
Already speaks
Its existence within you
Through the connections,
Lessons and healing you’ve done
To fortify your being...
Next lifetime shows you
That no longer will you
Have to endure the pain from the past;
No longer will you have to
Carry your ancestors suffering on your back
And pretend to mask it
While living in a world that tries to
Erase it, outcast it...
You carry their hope and
Healing in your bones
Embrace it; grasp it
Feel their freedom in your soul
Let it fuel you, broadcast it
Their Spirit and movements have outlasted
Time and space to forecast
The season of new days...
I pray
You hear them say that
Your love and joy is never
In anyone else’s power
To grant it...
I pray
You continue to move in advancement
Free from trauma and attachment...
Where “BE-ing”... truly is present
And surviving was only a fragment
Of this inception...
I pray
You realize your power
In this lifetime
And recognize
You carry the keys of change
And ways of being
Next lifetime...

walking in circles



You walk in circles
That skim surfaces
Yet go deep enough to scar

poetry prompt - #30Layers30Days

As I move more towards an abundance of self-love, my inspiration has been quietly simmering.  I've been still writing and composing, but keeping a lot of pieces to myself.  I guess I've been a lot more selective.  However, this month, I saw this challenge to write one poem a day for the month of November.  It became the perfect opportunity for me to really put this newness into verses...

The challenge is called #30Layers30Days... by @ggreneewrites on IG... 
Website:  "all the many layers" : https://gg-renee.squarespace.com/new-page

Please join the challenge...
Happy writing... happy inspiring...

micropoetry session

MY self

You presented me
With an augmented reality of yourself
Reprieve and relieve 
The diseased part of yourself
In order to receive the best 
Most deserv'd part of
MY self.

micropoetry session

Whisper the yearnings

You bespeak

Onto my ears

In that voice that pains

And sustains

All at the same time

In all its familiarity

micropoetry session - sixwords

Passers-by in newly defined spaces repel.

micropoetry session - sixwords

Skimming surfaces enough to create wounds.

micropoetry session - sixwordsplusone

Encompass worlds
Traverse thoughts
Within my station

micropoetry session

I digress with my perception of you

That beautiful handsome scent of you

Filled my nose, replenished my soul

Until it travelled into my sinuses

Then started stinging my eyes

Giving rise to blurry vision

micropoetry session

Dividing sides
With his fingertips 
Down my spine
Creating the most 
Divine meridian

micropoetry session

Warmth begets warmth
As fingertips meets hands
Affiliates arms
Associates chests
Consolidates beats
And reconnects beings

micropoetry session

Entering in
He presses unpause
Replaying the torturous
Lovesick cycles

micropoetry session

The night escapes me 
Teasing its fleeting comfort 
Without grasping onto
Its inspiration

micropoetry session

Uplift and subsist
To exist 
In my inner most
Intimate consciousness.

micropoetry session

Conversationalist tactics
Prove positive
And poetically persist
In my 
Sensualist movement.

micropoetry session

Fading into the grayscale
Until he returns 
With a vibrant 
Mnemonic need
For clemency

micropoetry session

Woo me with ways 
To make could-be's to should-be's
Wants to needs
Casual interludes to prolonged
Late night early mornings.

micropoetry session

Paint me the color
Of your most vivid dreams
Supply hues to imbue
A subconscious affair
Of being.

micropoetry session

Illicit explicit simplicity
In attempts to break down
My indeterministicy

micropoetry session

Extinguish the undistinguished
Parts of your mind
Be inclined
To this linguist
Relinquish the refined
To coincide with mine.
