Black Poetry : trial

[MsDLite]

long time poets in residence...just a little prose. perhaps more later...
--------------

i was on trial with you
back when we were two
new
learning my ways
i let you know truths
no one else knew
because...
we were two...new
we shared midnight thoughts
of life and all its colorful
hues
hoping and waiting on someone
who would be true
for life had been so
cruel...
there was no me without
you...until

stuff is crazy now
i am on trial
past acts of indiscretions
regrets and other stuff
come back to haunt my person
from a grave in which they
decayed...for years...
now...trial after trial
convictions and perjuries
for the sake of letting a past
life...lie..die
i accept the terms of my
conviction and serve the time
for the past you resurrect over
and over again...
my person...tired and drained
because...
i am on trial...with you

Haaaaaaay MsDLite

so good to read you again

deep peace

if i'm feeling you properly
understanding what i've read

deep peace

to trust someone
with your heart's true confession

and then ...

watching them testify against you

oh my

deep peace

I can't even

begin to type the words that express how well I understand this, sis. I'll just share a piece of me, with you, that touches on the awesome power of forgiveness, when God is in it.

[MsDLite]

peace for my soul

...as i call upon the dove
that floats in air with
swirls of white cloud
...the sun drips golden rays...

peace for my soul...

thank you...poets!
