Soul Protector

created a shield,

sheltering my heart

from the unwavering pain,

that heartache can bring…

of the imitations of love,

in the process, confining my will

still grounded…

I sealed

all the cracks with cement,

giving no more slack

to the feelings I’d always held back,

for the lack of reciprocity

or reception….

of my waxed love

friend, supporter, comforter, wife

peace-maker, cook, mother- through all the strife…

continuing through, in boundaries placed on my soul,

eventually, pushed me into a solitary hole…

they couldn’t comprehend the power of a Lover’ Soul,

so, unfulfilled in Self,

I still locked It down

giving what they needed…

& it didn’t stand the stormy waters

of a make-shift love nest

didn’t succeed

….caged love

so much more- Eye Am….

& I left the door shut on stipulated love,

continuing to fight the good fight per se…

with no light in sight,

no flight for my tapered wings,

I would sing….

“If I spend the rest of my life loving Me,

My Soul will be free….

because, at least I can give Me completely…La La La La.”

when there’s a gentle tug from withIn,

presenting My World a quick spin….

heart flutters & flips,

trying to figure out this feel….ing

that’s locked from the inside…

no outer entry parts….

& I begin to write….. sing more

dreamed & prayed aloud

something has a stronghold,

where no one is allowed….

the flow is pouring in fluently…

“No entrance here” I whispered

~to mySelf~

for I held no restraint

over the feelings touched with the faint-est

delicacy,

tickling my heart,

coming in like cooling water

from a summer’s spring,

lifting my burdened soul from

withIn

hell’s pit, I was liv…ing….

giving a battered Soul a kiss,

rocking My heart, embracing My pain,

blowing air under my wings,

lifting shattered hope, cracking a cemented shield,

giving this Queen a complete Love fill…

a taste of my Own medicine,

which had never been fully administered…

they weren’t equipt to handle the power

of such a love ministering….

and Soul to Soulstress fluxed & flowed

poetic Vibrations of Soul Power showed

unseen,

surreal, blooming like four season’s flowers

a divine childhood friendship,

conversating over moon wine,

about heart breaks & seeks,

what Love takes, growing together,

true Love pleasures,

Soul Vibrations & Lifetime Comforters

with eye kisses, Soul embraces,

eating Love toast & drinking Soul café’s,

over tunes of Sweet Love & Devotion….

how Divine it is,

to have my shield

knocked down from the inside out,

gaining a Deliverer, Friend, Soul Protector,

Lover & Comforter

A Man.

A King laying water down,

in a Locked Soul & a Barren Land.

Torn Feathers & Free Eagle Wings

Betwixt a boulder & a brick wall,

My wings don’t seem to stand a chance at all!

Feathers stuck between slivers of rock…

& each lift I make nearly knocks me out!

The sky’s opening is only a taste bud away…

& the air is my tongue’s hope, on the tip of a star,

at the end of the day…

I twist left & right, jump for a soar…

got knocked on my ass again, like it ain’t already sore…

there just seems no way out before night-falls,

no way in hell I’m gonna give up flight…

Freedom breathes through every pore,

….the breeze of air in my wings, with a song in My Soul…

“I know why the caged bird sings.”

I fell asleep in this gruesome tussle,

wings, feathers & energy all ruffled,

dreaming of Magikal realities,

in a rare night of rest,

& the fight was on….

Again…

I clashed about & scuffed my claws,

panting & determined, in the brawl

for My Life,

for My Wings, for My Voice….

My King…

just to Free-Sing,

another Love Song,

a goodnite lullaby of Sweet Dreams

& Rested Wings,

to go meet My Shouldered Heart….

safe on His shelf,

between the novels of Life & Death do Us Part,

which has been given for safe keeping,

until Our eternal meeting.

With knowledge & determination!

I snag a few more feathers,

Who gives a damn? It won’t be my the death of Me,

but staying caged in …will be,

I’m on a flight to Rescue Realism,

tearing MySelf to freedom!

Smiling with felicity,

No, it wasn’t with simplicity…

I let the crap just fall….

Wing Tips, Feathers & All…..

For the air flowing throughout My Being,

Feelings …

none “Ever” like it

& We will Live OurStory to tell It….

with the pleasure of Pure Spirituality…

Souls connected on the tips of Four Angel’s Wings,

bound for Ever-Salutations & Greetings Face to Face…

battered, scorned, hurt, & scarred…

I’m breaking loose from these fuckin’ bars!!

I’m in tact & Eye smile…

shaking My Feathers,

thinking of an Eagle Journeys treasures…

Aching & sore…

I soar!!!

…to the highest peak…

Inhaling air like nourishment, like a quenched thirst I’ve so long seeked,

while embracing the Sun’s Rise withIn My Soul…. missing Her warmth & light….

the ecstasy of it…..of the future,

gently laying my feathers at rests position…

& I sing an Un-caged Melody…

Shaking Tears, Vibrating from years,

as notes flow freely, filling the air…

I watch the trees dance & sway,

to New Melodies of A New Day,

& Mother Nature Melodizes with me,

as I lose mySelf in the freedom of the Wind & Song….

……“Not much longer…..”

Urth Eagle has lifted Her wings from a Dragon’s Fiyah withIn… to be Free,

A Love Song for You & Me,

coming from withIn, with no external entry….

Her Joy Now comes from more than a caged song…

Somehow an invisible entrance has been found…..

From the implanted Love of Soul Seekers,

spilling heart aches, heartbreaks, love seeks, and love spots weak….

Ever-Seekers, no longer needing to seek, but spill….

The pain & love lost,

for freedom and New Love’s Kingdom,

at All Cost.
