One Accord

20140128-221518.jpg

My mind and body are talking again.

Belief has recieved me.
Faith knocks on doors without locks.
Encores of hope applause my flaws as they depart dearly.
Grace clears me without denying my knowledge.
Prophets prophecy profit.
I pay homage to the old me.

Only I will know what only God does.

Only I know what life owes me.
Breath is a painful privilege if it’s all you have.
I’m thanking the man
Upstairs, that my life has replaced existence.
My body is in a prism of submission
The victims of the past told me that pain doesent last.
My mind, heart and feet are no longer on their knees.
Recovery beds serve against regret.
Redemption says fear is next.

I believe. In belief.

My mind and my body unify.
Collaborative efforts say hi
To flight.
My fear is subdued by an intense need to see the moon.
Flesh and the spirit no longer commited to the warzone I once called home.

Peace reigns where I dey.

Praise be to the king.

Déjà Vu

Déjà vu

Déjà vu is giving me attitude.

Memories of former promises haunt hope.
Zeal is stolen by a reality that makes more sense in February.
The gentle whispers of the past speak philosophically,
But not as loud as the future does.
The future screams obscenities to the fear that could make it vacant.
Fear is listening…quivering.
The future stays screaming, defending the work of my hands with middle fingers.
Unjustified hope gropes my mind along with these grenades of faith.

Déjà vu is giving me attitude.

My dreams relocate to a place bigger than my mind.
My fingers tingle, my thumb writes.
My black knees don’t give a fuck,
Defeat has made them numb;
so come what May, my praise will be as flawless in August.
Alarm clocks are too slow.
My body is my soul.

Déjà vu is giving me attitude.

Shame I don’t speak French.

Outside

20131127-131326.jpg

All I want is green grass and the freedom to lay down.

I’m in mate.

An inmate in this prison that we’ve given crowns to.

Indeed, I said we.

You’re here too
Because you’re fearful
of hoping.
Look around you…
The doors are open
No gates and no wardens
But no ones running for the doors.
Instead we clean the floors,
get that disinfectant for the toilet and stay disaffected.

Lets all get insta so they can see how sparkly our cages are!
99 likes and I just might stay the night

Only 8 and I’ll still stay.

I’m just saying.
Outside is nice too.
