IT'S LIKE BEING INVITED TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY BUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GO BECAUSE YOU NOT ABLE TO GO BY YOURSELF

in my mind 

i'm running 

out  of time 

to let my light shine 

or 

to spread my wings 

or to do some 

dreamy things 

like marry 

an earthly king  

yeah 

baboon bathing 

yeah 

my spirit 

so wants 

to sing 

and walk 

and fly 

like a hawk 

in the flesh 

but 

i must confess 

i feel stressed 

not being blessed 

with a body 

that works 

yeah 

it really...

hurts  

my heart 

yeah 

like having...

too many...

 false starts 

or 

like being

invited to...

 a birthday party 

but not being able 

to go 

because 

you are not able 

to go

by yourself 

MAN OH MAN

SOMETIMES 

I REALLY 

HATE 

MY BREATH 

ON THIS LAND 

it seems

Q & A ALL DAY

so do

 You

 call me

 crazy, 

Christ 

whenever i say 

i wish i had 

an able life 

or 

long to be 

a mommy 

or 

a wife 

yeah 

do my

desire 

of 

require 

set you a fire 

or 

 cut you 

clear through 

like a knife 

yeah 

slice by slice 

or 

do you 

just see me 

as

 an annoying 

mouse 

just trying 

to run 

your house   

MEND THE SEND

God

please use

my broken 

and bruised 

heart 

to be apart 

of 

something 

greater 

than 

the equator 

yeah

so later 

i don't 

feel 

bad 

or sad 

about 

siting 

or 

think about

quitting 

this life 

yeah 

please 

help me 

Christ  

to see  

the sacrifice 

of 

you and me 

to the tee 

of 

the decree 

TRYIN' 2 4GIVE GOD(24/7)

 MAN

i'm tryin' 

so hard 

to forgive 

God 

for allowing me 

to be 

alive

with 

cerebral palsy 

for 45years 
MAN 

the many frustrating tears 

I've cried 

and lied 

like everything 

was o.k

yeah 

when in fact 

my heart 

was blue, black, purple or gray 

yeah, 

i oftentimes 

feel some type of way 

yeah 

with no...

whine or gripe 

but 

yet 

and still 

wheel 

towards... 

THE LIGHT

MY OCEAN OBSERVATION

MAN

i swear 

i wanna be in this chair

yeah 

'cause I'm not goin' anywhere 

or so it seems 

well, 

maybe 

only in my dreams 

of cream 

and sugar-

water 

yeah Father 

please help your daughter 

understand 

yeah

before i 

make it 

on land 

with 

my scaley hands 

 

MY QUESTIONABLE ANTICS...?

God
why am i 
still here 
like this 
and why 
can't i 
not 
get a kiss
with 
tongue 
 or 
walk 
or 
run 
to have fun
in the sun
Man, 
do my plans 
really seem
so dumb

SAVIOR, WHERE IS MY WINE? (DIVINE GRACE)

now

there is 

a sadness 

that i just 

can't explain 

yeah

my insides 

wanna so 

let it rain

on the outside 

but my 

bruised  

pride 

still wants 

to hide 

the hurt 

that really fuels 

my work 

or 

my writing 

yeah 

so exciting 

and 

inviting 

and 

sad 

at the same time 

but Savior, where is my wine? 

Wednesday, December 27, 2023

YOU GOTTA HAVE A HEART

 i am 

part sperm 

part egg

part hands

part legs 

part walking blind 

with 

a sober mind 

and 

walking dead 

yeah

let 

the sit 

in your head 

like fresh baked 

bread 

or 

a barrel of wine 

which is...

both fine 

sometime 

in the sunshine 

or 

in the dark 

but 

you gotta have a heart 


JUST TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Mother Earth

and

Father Time 

are

God

combined 

yeah 

some very good 

wine 

from a pure 

vine 

that shines 

in 

the dark 

of 

every artichoke heart 

that starts 

or 

barks 

like a tree 

in the Sea of Galilee  

ooowee

i do believe 

in

 Adam and Eve

and 

in Jesus's...

bloody skinless sleeve  

A KEYBOARD KISS

God

flow through me 

yeah

help me see 

your reality  

more clearly 

yeah 

guide 

my inside 

to your soul 

yeah 

please take

the brakes 

or 

have total 

control 

of 

my wholeness 

and 

bliss 

yeah Father 

your Daughter 

is 

truly asking 

this 

with 

a keyboard kiss 

amen 

yeah 

please 

work 

your plan 

MINDFUL MUSIC

in my mind,

i think about...

Christ in a  manger  

life, and it's many dangers 

and my mom 

who has never met...

a stranger 

so let 

my eye 

get wet

as i sit 

in this pit 

with 

no off switch 

but God's pitch 

is still 

singing and ringing 

in my ear 

yeah, 

that much 

is very 

clear

and 

near and dear 

to my heart 

but after all 

God gave me a call

and gave me 

my start

MY HOURS of YESTERDAYS

BOY 

my past

loves to

break glass 

over my head 

and 

make me wish 

that i  never  

exist 

or 

that i was 

dead 

BUT GOD 

BLEED 

for me 

to still be 

here 

yeah 

despite 

the restless 

nights 

and 

the tearful frights 

of

lust 

that i 

should've tried 

or 

trust

HOPING 4 A BETTER 24

Christ 

 ia there more 

to my life 

than 

"This wheel sacrifice"

well, 

as you know 

i really hope so 

because 

the lack of...

no "romantic love"

cuts 

like a knife 

to the butt

or 

the heart 

or 

to any 

human body parts

yeah 

my guard 

is 

up 

my guard 

is 

down 

yeah 

i feel like...

I'm gonna...

drown 

but Lord

before i do 

I'm askin' 

you

will i be 

through 

with 

this sticky glue...

 sh^t

dying 

inside

to share 

my dreams

yearn 

to be 

a bride 

who doesn't 

hide 

the hugs 

or 

the love 

that we 

both 

Share

no need 

for greed 

or 

to compare 

if i 

had 

someone here 

yeah 

to wipe 

away 

my tears 

or 

to calm 

my fears 

of 

the future

with 

some 

mental 

and 

physical 

kama sutra

MY RAGE AGANIST CEREBRAL PALSY

 oh Jes'

if i could just get on my knees 

and pray 

yeah. just maybe this cerebral palsy 

would just go away 

yeah 

my guts 

would no longer feel grey

and people would wanna stay 

around me 

and make sure 

that I'm secure 

or good 

and would be 

so glad 

they found  me 

and wouldn't 

clown me 

but 

instead 

my head 

longs 

to be fed 

bread 

or

love 

yeah 

like a 

turtledove 

on Christmas  Eve 

but heavenly father

your daughter 

still needs 

to believe 

in somethin' real 

yeah, 

even as 

she grieves 

somethin' 

she neva had 

so bad

just supposed 

to 

a woman 

with 

cerebral palsy

my pain 

and where
