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 

tk-luv

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 

Submission

He stands as a priest

Heeding words from God

As He teaches me

His words create a queen  

he dresses me in righteousness

His feet find straight paths 

so I can keep the children safe

In obedience loves wholly and complete

That I am never alone

Always cared for loved and defended 

He takes me by the hand 

Shows me a beautiful reflection of me 

A bride presented to himself

A lover, a king

I then, when I hear his voice

... say, speak my lord 

TK-luv (c)

Wait

I will wait
Till way passed sunset
For you to clean up your mess
And I mine
To fold the clothes neatly
And pack them in The corner

Till you Walk out into your sunlight unafraid
And I smile at day bold. And bright
Till I walk out Praising as I go
Till you break into song at a moments call



I will wait till your heart is as wide open as your arms Till we speak fluently in a conversation and merge our worlds expertly

I will wait till you walk out of the tomb
Leave the decay behind and embrace life
I will wait for you

tk-luv

Stranger Of Mine

Who are you stranger of mine

I know you more than lover could

I don't know your name as we've never taken a 

Saturday afternoon walk in the park

Nor had the pleasure to be formally introduced 

Yet I know the healing properties in your arms

Soothing, caressing,Coarse and firm 

That make me crave to be held

Lighting up my skin in a million candles 

Dancing flames to winds of your breath on my neck 

Countless as a starlit night

Filled with promise and questions 

To be covered and tucked

Enveloped and sent to a place where only your heart can lead

Hills and valleys 

Storms oceans and snow

Scenic views and love paintings

Past idealistic views 

In its depth to find answers to questions 

Hidden in iced mountains 

Preserved for ages

The thirst quenching kiss only your lips can give

Drawing out sighs of contentment 

Pouring from deep wells and clashing with longing 

bursts of treasures sought only by kings

Waves of chocolate peach and tangy notes 

Written in codes deciphered only when expertly delivered and lip read to mine

With the mystery of strangers

But mastery of lovers

Paths Seeing through walls and veils.

But who are you stranger of mine

This girl though - laughing out loud :))

She breathes through her mouth

That uncomfortable scratching sound

Which made her friends say

Breathe properly you also aah!

But her nose was eternally stuffed

Tissues and handkerchiefs her permanent friend

The awkward girl

Had the weirdest first kiss

She doesn’t remember any of it except holding her breath

And praying that her stupid nose doesn’t run

After that she could only giggle at how ridiculous the whole thing was

Lol!

Her crooked teeth stood like the crown in her mouth

The tiara designed by the king fit like a crown

Although when she went on her first date

She didn’t hear a word that dude said

She could only worry if food got inappropriately lodged in her

Hidden tooth

How would she get it out?

The whole meal through she giggled about how ridiculous that would be

Lol!!

Passers by

I loved the feel of the window

As the world rushed passed

The sea sitting quietly watching the sky

The warmth of the day quietly fading away

It was after all the most splendid place I ever saw

I loved the sound of the seven pm metro

As commuters rush passed

In a fiery blaze of white and red

Claiming their place on the highway

It was after all the dizziest city I ever saw

I loved the dream of shade

As the sun rushed passed

With a million sky scrapers, Bright dazzling lights

Ladies in high heels with black hooded veils

It was after all the hottest place I ever saw 

MC

I am praying for you MC 

Easy laugh and quick flirtatious smile

To thrive in the moment of hype 

When nothing can happen until you arrive 

Always given a superstar welcome

It can't be easy being the heart of the party!

It can't be easy making the crowd roar with laughter and erupt in fits of joy

It can't be easy to have everyone's attention by a simple hand gesture 

People feeding on your every word like hungry puppies

fading into the audience to leave you the spot light

They look to you wide eyed anticipating the brief moment of satisfaction 

Felt when you waved your magic wand

It can't be easy watching eyes sparkle and have the whole room enchanted 

It can't be easy to have people follow you always

To take and never give, To always be there as sure as the sun

Like clock work giving warmth and light

The chase is a thrill , the challenge to spellbind the room

Will they singalong and satisfy your ego, 

But Even the sun must sleep

When she has shined and captured everyone's heart

She steals their smiles and retreats

To her nest counting her treasure- eggs that never hatch

Hugs them tight like a lullaby

Leaving the darkest night

 

Oh sun..It can't be easy to be alone in your tent

Struggling to fit in its shade

Yet you have command of day, you

Heat up the soil beneath my feet that it is deceived 

And be the brightest star for everyone

So I am praying for you MC

That the light you give shall also remain

When you retreat to your tent you should never feel alone

In your greatness you may prosper some more

And enchant more people with your smile

That when you sleep 

You may also rise

A mighty storm arisen

The roar of God

Creative force and power
How the earth trembles

See a mighty storm is rising in the earth

At the blast of the breath of his nostrils

Nothing is safe,
Trees run for cover

All is exposed

That elemental divine energy

Tuning the environment

Raw speaking

Stirring up a storm

Fresh breath

Waiting In Line

High streets

Flying cars

People sitting 

HERE - REDONE

So my eyes have seen all tints of evil

Dirty images etched on my brain

Clouded vision

Eyes wide shut

Gazing through grey lenses

Not seeing through the wicked

Wicked system of things

Instead licking up horrid waste from Babylon

Looking at life through eyes of battered seas

Hoarding all forms of memories

Time, numb hideous all mashed into one

That post abortion feeling of numbness

Tiny vibrations inside my nervous system

Alerting me that Life has been severed from my grasp

Loud pains inside my consciousness

Watching life ooze out in many

Many shades of green

That sense of desperation that drives men into madness

Vibrations

First bright as the innocence falls slow

Mint and crisp slowly becoming dirty yellow

That problem solving strategy that leaves you countless

Times worse than before

The pain is unbearable so you don’t feel any more

It’s almost like it’s next to you – clear painful white

Drenched in desperation

Answers sought but no actualization

So life has had me battered

Scars painted on me like trophy’s

In torturous shades of purple and navy’s

My skin becomes a storm

Held in the arms of stains- over white

Thant sense of longing that drives men to madness

Many days I spent mimicking those with no direction

Moments in time frozen in my brain

There’s only but so much you can contain

Bottled up issues to ease the strain

All in the name of conformation

The unbearable pain of rejection I feel no more

Clear painful white

So friends and foes alike

Demeaned my graces

Without a thought

Quick word or come back

Yet I could have killed for you

I could have died for you

But they slaughter my soul

Step on my heart at the exit

Don’t bother to leave the keys

My feet have walked this path

Of red brick neatly paved

Grave yard orange

The walk that leads to death

Orange setting slowly giving way to darkness

I feel nothing

This colour is void

So dark the only thing visible is my thoughts

Flirting with the end

Suicide seducing me on this path

She paints a rainbow of worms

Smiles at my demise

She is beautiful eyes that sting in the night

Her teeth shine bone white – ivory

She watches her prey

Tricks me into believing I am trapped

She smiles satisfied

I shut my eyes and succumb

I am awoken 2,000 years ago

At the foot of the cross

He turned and looked into 2014

And saw scars painted on me

In torturous shades of purple and navy’s

Broken from lifes battering

He took a strike for me

And there was blood

He peered into my space and saw loneliness and rejection

Creamy turquoise becoming dirty yellow

Friends and foes turning on me

He took another strike for me –

there was even more blood

He looked into my eyes

And saw the wicked wicked system of things

Death surrounding me

He took a piercing at his side for me

Blood and water flowed

I have to be normal you tell yourself

If only you stop and listen

You will hear the trumpet call

His voice Louder

The drama of his speaking

Supernatural healing in body, soul and spirit

Healing from the ravages of memory

He has given boldness to come to Him

He removed all fear

He held me close and cleansed me

cleansed my conscience

so no!  evil cannot accuse

If only you could

Stop!

Listen!

He is HERE
