Life’s Lemons, Salt & a Sweet Soul of Fire

today.
I breathe
sporadic, axiomatic breaths,
unaware of what tomorrow holds, much less the future,
as I try harder each day,
the foot on my back remains,
even heavier,
My still steel spine holds,
with the salty sweat beads of determination rolling down its center.
& My stride keeps swaying,
sashaying, with the knowing & the burning from deepness unseen,
head high, chest out…. I sway,
without thoughts of where or how the next…
backbreaking step will land…
grounded or stomped on my fight…
taking me,
as all the previous ones have…
to a halt, leading nowhere,
mind going forward, body held frozen
Is the real?

but My Soul has an ancient force,
She won’t stay down,
Burning like fire!
again I will dissolve this barrier & rise,
Strength, to bear yet another footmark,
within a seemingly unmoving life,
a determined brain steering-will-power,
from places I can only feel…

& I Wombman have the nerve & the nerves,
I do…
to smile…
recognizing the beauty & the joy of the sounds of My own laughter!
….occasionally
quietly remaining,
often, shocking Self… with how?- wonder
“Why…. I can bring me here more often, right?”
……& I know that this place in which Eye exist
…that life – !
day by day, chokes my ease
slowly…
with no matters of the amounts of back-breaking sweat & work,
if there’s no remainders at the end of the days =
it does equal up to sweat & knowing, with lemons & saltiness

stealing the slightest rays of My desire to be…
leaving taste buds bitter of bile,
smothering My gifts, My smiles, My drive…
for a while…
extinguishing happiness,
causing repetitive water-filled eyes…
face doesn’t wear it- heart holds it,
resonating in monotonic tones & recorded smiles,
but, burning within, in words & songs..
floating about freely, like butterflies & fireflies,
eating & portioning spoken & lyrical stories,
as I live, receive & give, stand & breathe
I will-
take this bitter life,
that will never overpower the sweetness of the Fire in My Soul

“&”

if one day this ol’place finds me diverting Soul Love…
vibrations fluxing around & above,
from the sidewalks, the by-walks, the paved walkways,
or the windows of shacks to the people I meet,
internally shining through every crevice & over creeks…
I will!
“My” voice, I will always own.
This is no bill or dollar that shall be indebted or cashed in on.
It is here where My Sweet Soul’s Fire will always flow…in words, in art, in lyrics- my songs.

Can We Make Soul Love?

sit down. will you? 

can we French eye-kiss?

can we? this time……

connect with soul vibrations,releasing tension,

from within your deepest desire’s destinations?

here,inside of you…..

where my enamored love lives…

I see where your weariness lies…

I see deep, passed your dark chestnut eyes…

I see the invisibility of your visibilities…

can I massage the ache in your brain? 

….from within…. 

will you,

allow me,

here, to release the nuisances & pain?

through the royal passages you hide, 

through the power I see within your eyes, 

I’ll enter into this pathway,

where all of You lies…

Magik traveling into your day’s worries & thoughts…

as life’s burdens occupy your mind….

I know it’s here that I will find

& feel your concerns, your aggravations …

your doubts,as its weight releases your presence,

into my grasp it lands, 

between the kneading within my hands…

unwind Baby,

let me rub the doubt right here

& the tire right there…

My Dear…

softly away

into nothingness, and my mind is clear…

upon your soul’s rest, 

as my fingers flow into caress..es,

within your deepest places, where you ache

rotating circular hand-motions in, on your internal shoulder blades, 

where pain wishes to reign,

but is obliviously dismissed,with the power of a crane…….

rubbing throughout, & easing out all distractions in your brain,

erasing before,implanting right now,

love rains down passim & we welcome submergence in Her steamy heat 

mutual muscle relaxation,

under my fingers & palms I flavor,

in simultaneous ease at your comfort, I savor..

the passion & love filling the air’s space, surrounds us,

intoxicated on love filled lungs & souls,

silky soul touches slowly & gently consume our bodies,

sending spirals of spiritual, vibrational connections channeled One to One

I spinal inner-circulating,

within You,

sending your tensensation-vibrations from here into nowhere..

my mind feels your needs from within, 

You're feeling me Wholly,

in the One-Ness that Is…

as I’m rotating on center-axis,

about your inner flesh

around Man-Ness,

centered-ness waistline….

‘round strength of My Man’s being Soul connecting

Face-Face....

My Soul…Your flesh….

& here we Greet –Raw Soul …to Raw Soul,

unbuttoning your chest-wall,

completely releasing your pressures

climactical, soul, depth wanton, desiring…

Our French kissing-eyes locked,passion & water- filled …

your stressed released & relieved presents smile, 

having forgotten the spoils of your day,

looking into the love of Your Queen,

freely willing to take all that away

happily unforgotten pressures,

indescribable words transformed into whispers of soul love,

as you unzip my flesh,revealing my barred soul,

with a smile,now, understanding the key you sought,

dwelled within you all along,

I smile back coyly,

knowing, some keys are only released with the desires of freedom, wisdom, trust & truth 

& Now, 

Spirit to Spirit

One Soul

~raw~ love exposure

exploring each other,

from most interior places,

in Our invisibilities,

all too often overlooked,

the Pertinent sections within the Best Sellers…

the keys aren’t always found in the contents sections or the index,

~It’s Within~

the keys to love aren’t always found in the past,

those were lessons…

the keys take home, within the present,

we live to go forward, 

the clearly visible, but unclearly seen beauty in front of our faces,

we look past,

yes… “lessons in love” are found from our past,

but keys in love are found within now,

because it begins within “Us”….with Self.

"We"

Unlocked & no longer two, 

One Soul 

Possessed by Pure Visible Soul Love

{whispers} Now, Can We Make Soul Love? 

...from True=ly within the depths Our Beings.

A Poet/ess’ Divine Flow

honored by the thoughts, or lack there of…
humored at the audacity…
unfazed by your outsight…of my expressions of Self.

but it is a must that you know,
a few things that are for certain,don’t make the useless mistake
of thinking it’s for your sake,

that I convey my love, my anger, or my fear,
my joys, my pains, uplifting, or drying tears,
encouraging true love, persuading strength…
to go on,whatever my soul unfolds and presents;
it is not for the undesired’s hearts’ intent.

no, don’t you stumble on your own error,
thinking my words are for your unwanted pleasure,
you don’t like the exact words that I choose,
don’t care for the particular paths of, which I muse

either you comprehend it, or you don’t
some desire to, some won’t,
don’t prefer my flow, keep rollin’ …down the river, keep strollin’…

I’m gon’ keep evoking words and melodies,
holdin’ it down for The Divine Poets & Poetess’ flow-ing with me;

lovers of truth and depth gon’ stand,
to hell with the rest, it’s a part of Our plan…..
Even then, understand….

these thoughts are mine,
from within me, my creativity is divine,
I don’t think of opinions, when I’m writing on the linesof my mind,

I deep dive into the great sea of my inner being,
flowing through the waves of eyes, smiles, hopes, screams,
emotions, remembrances, love, reminisces, feelings…. of dreams;

manifesting raw truth, soft or tough, in love, I’m coming,
with hard-core verity, of mySelf no stunting.

no shows to fit into pretty setups,
no standards or guidelines,love it or hate it, I’ve learned singularity is rough….

I was born this way,
unique with my own sway,
I don’t birth bogus,
no hocus-pocus…

don’t look here for contemporary simplicity,
your bound to get bitten by the authenticity.
