Help Me Not





They say they want to help me out

While helping themselves, no doubt

To all they can get their sticky fingers on

Despite my troubles, I'm quite the sexy one


A ride here and there

Carry some groceries to my door

Even offer to increase my income

Glance at me with that strange kind of stare


Look into my eyes while smiling with glee

It's apparent that you want more from me

Yet my birthday has passed and you simply forgot

So my dear, shallow friend, please help me not


Don't bother to call nor text anymore

Stop just saying, "hi" or knocking on my door

Stop sniffing around for the presence of a man

It is not your business, step off while you can


You've nothing to offer, you don't aim to please

That cheap cologne scent keeps making me sneeze

The only reward here is from me to you

My time's not to waste, why don't you get a clue


You're just not equipped, it's as simple as that

You want tenderoni, while sloppy and fat

I have tolerated your kind a whole lot

But kind sir, walk away now and please, help me not


Please do not fix my car; Do not lend me your wrench

Do not serenade me from your piano bench

Save your compliments, don't ask me for pics

Don't call when your wife's away, flirting for kicks


Don't drive by my house when you're on your break

Back off, run along now for goodness sake

I really don't need you to tell me I'm hot

You don't stand a chance, so don't risk what you've got


God knows I'm too friendly, and certainly too nice

I have got to shake off all these lames in my life

My father and uncles they will spare you not

So don't make me call them, abandon this plot


You cannot have me, I'm not for sale

If I have to repeat this, I'll end up in jail


THERE Awaits Me



Alone with my thoughts

It is a hard place to do time

I am on this harrowed journey

Where reason has lost her rhyme


My thought-life emerging

Amidst a few waves of challenging thoughts and inspiration

Pulsating wounds leaking fluids to remind me

I'm alone in this


Though I am often in comfort in solitude

I am aware this is one-sided. A one-dimensional slice of peace

Not nearly what the universe intended

Here lies the gulf; its size a few planets wide


My limbs were never meant to leap this far

I am still required to reach it

Galaxies align in expectation my arriving

No broad-feathered wings to glide nor soar


All I need to find it is within

The Bridge of Infinity, closed until life's winter

No form of transport known to humanity's soul around

Not one detour in existence


Only shortcut I have found is least resistance

Surrender to the path most sound and sane

A coarse path of obstacles and circumstance

The road to THERE is through the sacred corridor of pain

Don't Like




I don't like unfinished conversations

Nor dishes in the sink

I do love a certain somebody

Well, mostly the way that he thinks


Not liking that mostly he's absent

Doesn't care enough for contact by phone

Like it less that he would be more attentive

But only if I gave him what HEEEEE would like


Hard to like that I'm in love with someone selfish

Far from right, but I cannot deny I do

Saddest truth of all this is he doesn't love ME

I don't like the fact he doesn't even know me


Perhaps you should also know he doesn't like me

I don't like this situation much at all

The gut-wrenching truth is he only wanted to $%#*&!$ me

So it seems his thoughts at this point really stink!


I don't like mess and clutter

But as a mother, it is part of the contract

Don't like it much at all that he hurt me

Yet in a heartbeat, I would welcome him back!

Intercession




Sweating blood, shedding tears

Eyes lifted up toward the heavens

Standing in the gap for another

Intense emotions that overflow

Powerful spiritual intervention

Connecting strangers and bonding friends

Weeping loudly in supplication


Lying upon the floor with face to the ground

A voice crying out, deep in the wilderness

Forsaking his own needs to bring comfort to a brother

God's love for humanity is clearly seen

In the hour of weakness he sends us a friend

Who will pray down showers of blessings

Heal our hurting hearts to the end


Steadfast and fierce as the lioness

I petitioned our God up above

Undistracted, resigned to my position

Translating their moans with precision

Wrestling with angels on their behalf

Suffering reproach from dark places

Yet, stationary til the job is done..


A calling so few have answered

Only those most sincere would ever go

To the unknown regions of prayer for another

Abandoning needs of their own

Launching out with their swords drawn

Taking on the dark figures waging war

Finding comfort as the last phrase has fallen


Tears begin to dry in an instant

In a whisper, HE confirms HE has heard you

A banner of victory posted upon the soul

Triumph in sight for those you vowed to uphold

An unexpected bonus for diligence is delivered

And your requests also are answered

Though you uttered them not, your burdens are removed.
