Sometimes it pours without all the drops
I’ve been reminded of a chink in my armor
Hey, I’m only human but, (shakes his head)
I’ve labeled them disarming “pet names”
They tend to rub my cerebellum until blistered 
They work like wireless strings on puppets
Used as manipulating currency by some people
To make you feel like you really matter
Not only matter, but matter more than others
On a personal level, and nearly private
Until, they use those pet names for everyone
And that's what makes them so powerful
Then an embarrassing reality slaps you
And that ole familiar sting burns deep
Nothing more pitiful than a repetitive fool
A fools open heart…he refuses to close up

Ascribe Where flight became stalled Because fear stood its ground There- is where I- was reborn Where I relearned my reality As broken fragments of a self Where I’ve seen the unveilings Of time, truth, and Holy love Where angels cried and wept For my salvation and healing And I- wept along with them Where fire seared my mission Forged into my soul as passion A combatant for the wounded Of humanities silenced…truths Poet of the Light © 2023 I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers. Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer. Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish.
