cute love, feelings, jealousy,
SHE IS MINE
Once you see her pass aside
She is bitter more than you can imagine
She is poisonous more than a snake
More than a scorpion
I cannot say she a killer
But it may happen by emergence
Although to me she is sweet more than bee’s honey
More than everything in the world
I warn you off
Never approach her
She is mine.

how i feel,
Just because I need love
You think that I am weak
Just because I have a heart
You think that I can break
A mountain once stood
Where the Titanic sank
And a scorpion king rules
Desert remains of a rusted tank
Since you fell from the sky
The wind haunts your wings
Your nest once a warm egg
Is now a scrambled thundering
The fall burn up all to char
And reduce all in your rise
Tsunamis inundate the shoreline
To bring us all to our knees
Eyes fill will her fuming
The blue horizon black and red
What to become of her seedling
The green earth now bled
Just because I need love
You think that I am weak
Just because I have a heart
You think that I can break

allegory
'Twas once a tortoise and a scorpion,
Across a river which had rose to crack.
Thus saith' scorpion, "be thy champion,
And calmly place thyself upon thine back".
"To sir with love, if I do this for thee,
Heaven would grant me wings for wind to sing".
And saith' the tortoise, "we would never be,
If ye upon thy back would place a sting".
So thus they sailed and streams stirred salt and dreams,
While something pierced inside the tortoise spine.
"Dost why dear Sir, now we're both dead it seems",
The scorpions reply, "twas natures wine".
Beneath the riverbanks did both them fall,
And Nature's nile conceived their drowning call.

angel, irony, love, religion,
Of angelic visitation
Kingdom turned to nation
Focus on flesh
(Like David Koresh)
Focus on wings
(Whilst scorpion stings)
From humility to pride
In reverse they all ride
A focus on the now and here
With condemnation and with fear
Rather Kingdom we should seek
Being humble, being meek
Than angels flying ‘round
Keeping us on shaky ground
Rather seek the righteousness
That came to love
That came to bless
Nothing more required, really
For his Love loves us dearly

Life is love
Laughter
Joy
Decisions
Wrong mistakes
Cares
Nothing you do can change that
Only God can change your circumstances
Your bad mistakes, high imperfection
Everything you do
God knows
Just relying on Him
He will get you through
He is not the one who will leave you in the dust
Negate on His promises
Give you scorpion while you ask for egg
He is a God of justice, love, and faithfulness
Of forgiveness, restoration, second chances
Of mercy, grace, never ending
He will be there for you
Never fear
Never give up
Never desist
God is calling us
Would we hear?

fatherme,
violet pansies with silly faces
ask me about truth
it's Sunday morning and old hurts
return to kick me in the guts and i'm
already down for the count
when your father is dead there's nothing
but silence between you and his grave
absence has sixty-four scorpion stings,
but you keep
on walking
my children will always remind you that
Father's Day is not about men with selfish
inclinations, it's about a mother's child,
loving you with their always-children hearts--
love that chains melodies of forgiveness
to little heels that will never crush you.

imagination, loss, passion, visionary, night, dark, dark, night, sun,
Where do the dreams of the night take us
When poets falls asleep, oh moon tell us where?
And no more tears shall we weep when we are there
How do dreams fade in the setting sun of our nightmares?
How does the seam open from the clothes of our cares?
How do we get back all we lost from the wars of our fears?
How do we love again and at what cost from the song of our tears?
Truley we have beseeched the one
Beyond the valley of the setting sun
Flew past the dark arrows of the archer
Only to be poisoned by the dark arrows of the scorpion
And found no antidote in the belly of the sky's fishes.
Now every night on our knees we pray for our dream's wishes.

When someone walks in
The bedroom, after your life -
She walks into your life, that is
Then has authority to walk in
Wherever you are, even on "Easter "
That moment is RESURRECTION 101
And every level of right living after
This Easter, Wendolene walked in
Exactly when death or injury closed in
The table next to my bed, with books
Hid a scorpion poised in attack
She saw it, my angle hid this "enemy"
Knocking it in two, I had to believe
In resurrection for me, love, He saved me

death, love, , black love,
In my studio in a Sunday night
I asked for her hand
I had no bad intention
I only tied a band
But the band seemed eerie
It was a scorpion tail
My single stroke in this weepy night
Ended in death without fail.

My scorpion
Come near
Hold me dear
And sting again
Your poison is so sweet
It tastes of succulent fear
When you kiss me
Venom enters my veins
Leaving me in excruciating pain
Then you scurry away in the dark
And only return to bite again
Someone please hear my cry
Save me from his claws
That pull me close
The ones I desire
Yet the ones I dread
His sting I crave
His poison gives me life
And yet here I stand
With death in my heart
And nothing but fear
Of the one I love so dear

anxiety, care, change, deep, inspirational, inspirational love, journey,
In the gloomy nights
Dies my life; my soul
Fighting unconquerable fights
Demons within the cold
Lying on the floor
half dead__alive
Fading image of the shore
Far off for a glide
A sense of vision
Blurry in its appearance
__mysteries of the days envision
I, built on perseverance
A ray of hope living
so I walk like a scorpion king
And smile like a human being
Letting these pains sink
Beneath the shadow of hope
A radiance in the dark
Soothes the pain, look
I adore the light, its blinding spark ...
