I AM letting go
The time has come
Morning realization
This is done
I AM moving on
Though filled with love
Dawning here and now
Clear, from above
I AM placing faith
In you and yours
Capable of choice,
Successes, more
I AM opening fists
And opening heart
Letting what comes next
Lessons impart
I AM freeing you
And freeing me
To live and learn and love, now
Judgment free
I AM shunning fear
To let love bind
Illuminate my soul
Heart, psyche, mind
And now
I stand my ground
I’ll not be abused
Refuse to be used
When cheated, short-fused
Way past the blues
Thus I implore you … Do not be confused
This line
In this sand
This time
~ Is final ~
~:~
In the cool of his shadow
Seems protected
She seems safe
A fortress there above her
She’s unthreatened
Radiates grace
Yet the safety? An illusion
Warmth is blocked
No light to grow
She becomes a mere reflection
Of her brilliance
Of her soul
.
Desired effect achieved
Red Shoes
Four point five inches taller
Legs looking like all that
Confidence built geometrically
Sleek and svelte wild cat
No need for lips to match the hue
Already hot, lit up
The man, the target, the victim
If you will
Lost all control, new pup
Walked the perimeter
Held crystal stem
Curves hugged tightly, just right
Eyes followed, heads turned
Not prim
She merged with the night
Without looking back
Desired effect achieved
.
In the shower
Temple rests
Exhale
Cool travertine
Wet heat pelts
Tight lumbar spine
Relief
From grip unseen
Loosen, soft-stroke, ease, release
Stored, hoarded energy
Washed away with day’s decay
Let go, un-hold, be free
