Tenacity

 What scares you the most

The fact that am unbreakable 

I contained a 10 year  nuclear bombing 

Escapade inside of my heart

Yet her I stand 

Shredded heart peices taped into place 

Cuddled again 

In love again

What scares you most 

That I don't just barely survive I thrive 

The Phoenix 

Gone through the fire

Yet here I soar 

Rising above the ashes taking 

Burnt offerings acceptable to God 

What scaresyou most

That despite the cut throat struggle out of debt

My voice a hoarse whispher

Stood in the line of fire 

Yest here I stand building an empire 

I be here queening 

My crowns still on 

I open my mouth

In a large shout of hallelujah

Tk-luv

Demanders

Before we are mature
we are demanders
Babies
Needy, wanty, noisy

our conversations with God
are
I want I need
I would like , I deserve

Coloured with self
spelled with I

When we grow
we learn to love  him
arrange our lives under his grace
in service that requires nothing in return

We learn new  verses
For I so loved the Lord that I gave
my service

My prayer now,
How can I serve you today ?

Tk-luv

the craving

I forgot the pain of craving your attention

The minute by minute discomfort

Of hearing your breath rise and fall in gentle sleep

As if an. Angel laid there

My mind. A whirlwind as my souls need to connect deeply came out dry

Hand extended to you once more as if this time

Maybe just maybe

I tap you gently at 3 am

Hoping your skin would recognise me

But it's been so long

I ask you to hold me

And as your right hand falls under my breast

The clumsiness of our not so. Spoon gets under my nerves 

I wonder do you recognise me

My Heart tries desperately to to beat in sync with yours but my ears are numb

So my heart can't see

All she remembers is The pain of craving

The rejection learnt

But still I seem to be in denial

I still crawl into your bed

Hoping that

This time maybe just maybe

candy crush

I played candy crush till I ran out of lives

I crushed on you so long 

There's no combination of candy I couldn't make 

My favourite is when you wore blue stripped suit 

And would stretch out you arms 

seemingly annihilate all my problems 

With a resounding wonderful 

Or when you'd come through like a color bomb attacking my insecurities in a precise fashion 

All of the sudden only you remained awesome 

Except my lives were running out 

Every time I went out on a limb for you, 

I was losing my own 

Every chocolate craving moment I desired you meant no self development for me 

Every single try fell short

One more space to fill the jelly

One more animal to free

Always not enough

Inadequate

Yes you good at everything else except this one thing

TK-luv 

issa fire

So the fire has been lit

A humming of the tune

Bursting with excitement

My skin sings again

What love feels like

Tip toeing 

Sunkissing 

Softest whispers 

Caught me by surprise 

I dont want to stop 

I wanna continue 

Timeless

My mind draws a picture 

perfect stillness 

Her echo an ancient 

Verse, hidden 

She looks and sees you 

My soul recognises you 

... You must be from forever 

The happy place 

Where we danced in the moonlight 

With wit and humour 

You slide me into your world 

Mastery of lovers 

And mystery of strangers 

TK luv 

Quarantine

someone said
do something productive

songs by night

To God my maker

Who gives songs by night

Lyricist of the birds

Coordinator or galaxies

Put words in my mouth

And hymns in my heart

That the bones you have broken may rejoice

Teach my heart gladness

Make my heart to rest

And be a resting place

Let my soul worship

And her spirit declare your greatness

God my refuge

My heart

My life

My trust

Give me tongues of the heavens

That every song that is raised from me

Intercourses with you in the deep

Fill me even now with you

All I want is you 

tk-luv

winds

Winds of change blow

Breath of fresh air through my skirt

Scary at first

Atmospherics

Adjustment to oxygen and flow 

Taking the mask off, flirt

Ready to burst

Aerodynamics 

Flying through a disrupt, bow and arrow 

Walking into the blinding sunlight, blurt

Taking the test 

Choosing schematics

Baby steps out of the back row 

Chasing new horizons 

Possibility climbs through

Love winks again 

tk-luv

walls

I see you.. 

You I see 

through your extremities 

 the walls that keep you safe

Eyes behind a golden heart

That beats soft at the centre

Sensitive to the touch

A touch my skin responds to at the slightest memory

Wild cravings riding up my legs

Carefully determined 

like your tongue showing her the way

Resting at her meeting place

Fuzzy and warm in my belly

You made it passed my extremities

High walls I built to keep me safe

Right to the core of my being

Soft at the centre,

Seen by you

Seeing me through you

Heart in hand 

tk-luv

dreamers

We dreamt of empires

Giant walls built inexplicably

We foresaw victories

Warlords and knights in fires 

We determined futures

Of greatness and glory

We mapped journeys

Of adventure and song

We imagined family 

Knit by the hand of God

We drew houses 

Tailor made for us 

We are dreamers 

TK-luv 

Xx

thank you

To every one whose ever inspired

Poetry in me

Those who taught me

 new words cause of how you made me feel

Those who held up white flags

When I wanted to rage into a storm

Those signposts that led me here

Those thorns on the roses that made me

Unfollow the scent of you that intoxicated my nostrils

Those bread crumbs that led to satisfaction

Satisfaction in a desire for more unapologetically 

Those pillows that gave me dreams of prosperity, hope and love 

Those stars that showed darkness no fear 

and kings whose magnificence created the queen you see 

Those beats that sat in the back as I danced on stage 

I am grateful 

TK-luv
