Son of a gun narcissistic
With a personality pessimistic
Everything resolves around you
Victor or victim that you bruise
When you look in silver mirror
You can’t see because you fear me
My natural beauty that you deface
Graceful in defeat as you beat me again
And yet somehow I still WIN
I let you walk in my trap
Recorded it all and sent it zap
To the authorities for proof
No more abuse wear your cell
Meant for my mind on yours
I’m forgiving me for loving YOU
Parting ways is so sugary
I have reasons to enjoy life
No longer fearing empowered
I am a black flower blooming
A vibrant hue, a bold design,
It drapes her form, a strength divine.
No longer veiled in shades of gray,
She shines in crimson, come what may.
The silken threads, a vibrant dance,
Reflect her spirit, her fierce trance.
A testament to freedom's call,
She wears her power, standing tall.
The whispers fade, the doubts retreat,
Her crimson sari, a bold feat.
A declaration, loud and clear,
She's here to conquer, banishing fear.
Winning the risk
Makes life better
More sweeter brisk.
Empowered leaders
Look beyond walls and bridges
Knit tribes, lives and tongues.
In the depths of your being, there lies a spark,
A divine flame, lighting up the dark.
Empowered from within, you'll surely see,
The strength to conquer, to be truly free.
God within you, the source of all might,
Guiding your steps, in the darkest night.
With every breath, feel the power surge,
Unlocking potential, like a sacred dirge.
To remain empowered, stay connected deep,
To your inner self, where secrets keep.
Forge a bond, intimate and true,
With the God within, in all you do.
Love like Jesus, forgive with grace,
Walk in faith, in every place.
Pray with power, evangelize bold,
Study, obey, let your story unfold.
Overcome desires, conquer every vice,
With divine empowerment, break the ice.
Face life's trials, with unwavering stride,
For within you, God's power resides.
So let your light shine, with divine decree,
For empowered within, you are truly free.
Don’t look for happiness outside yourself,
Don’t use your eyes, feel your way.
Don’t live tomorrow, enjoy your today,
Broaden your blessings to give them away.
The infection in you empowered by Him,
Reflects near and wide the changes within.
Compassion went missing.
They had killed their kindness.
Hatred was stirred and awoke narrow mindness..
They had been entrusted with keeping the peace
but were totally consumed by their anger like beasts..
Empowered by their badges and uniforms, they tasered
and kicked til his body was torn.
A life ended with savage brutality.
What happened to these officers sense of morality?
I am going to attend a journey of empowerment he told us all.
We felt it was a story, for he liked to tell a story loud and tall.
He rarely followed through, and his confidence was terribly low.
When I asked him later about the journey, he said he did not go.
I felt sad for him, for if there was ever a child who needed a lift
This journey of empowerment would have been a special gift.
He never got empowered, his mother laments many a day.
I know her well, so realize her attitude has gotten in his way.
She cannot cut him loose. She is as controlling as a summer storm.
His life was lived in loneliness, and his bed was never shared or warm.
The fixedness of certain things exhausts-
like my own shadow, this old tree and the sun.
I climb out of my dream,
Put on my clothes
And do not turn back.
I still carry the scent of you though-
The warming aroma of spices,
Juniper and citrus.
I sense in me a rare smell of masculine freedom.
Behind, I feel your eyes blaze intensely,
I do not halt. I walk. Not the brisk early morning walk,
but the lethargic walk, drowsily stretching after a sleep,
the last sleep before waking in which dreams appear.
I still feel your shoulders,
my lips pressed against them in my dream.
We stood like two bodies dissolved in a song.
I must remove you, the last strains of you
that’s somewhere within me as close as breath
but I will hold on to your last whisper,
one last thing you whispered into my neck-
“You’re reborn. You’re never the same again!”
When a bully spots a coward
He's pumped up, empowered
A fearful leader behind 'moral high ground' cowers
His defense, roadkill for the bully ~ more land to devour
~ C'mon, Pres. JB! Fear strikes out
in the Fight for Freedom ~
The day I stopped running
that was power
The day I stood up to him
that was power
The day I stopped crying
that was power
The day I got angry
that was power
The day I said NO!
that was power
The day I refused to be hurt
that was power
The day I fought back
that was power
The day I took control
that was power
The day I broke the silence
that was power
The day I spoke out
I was empowered.
I see you girl ,
with those epic flaming curls
and the breathtaking sight of your eyes.
I see you everyday, igniting step by step.
so much to live, so much to learn , so much to fail,
but always , a young heart of fire.
I see those eyes envious of your light ,
plotting how to steal it.
Deceptive pupils , I see their rage, I see them scared,
because, who can anything against your flames?
Too powerful ,
let your heat burn, let your hell grow,
until all implodes.
Glass ashes to tame an indolent soul.
The secret of touching your heart ,
without getting burned
that I only know.
Her quietude
is like a red rustling satin
twirling in the honeyed
sheen horizon.
While her compassion
seems limpid avalanche
that can't be writhed
by a strong storm.
Her heart is as kind
as a sheep, as pure
as jasmine, and
as valiant as an eagle.
She just laughs away
her trials sibilantly
with equanimity.
A wonder woman
Empowered to serve
With humility and grace
Elegantly standing completely
Adorned in the Father's Armour.
No foe can disarm nor conqueror
The one empowered to serve
For the gates of hell shall not prevail.
Empowered to serve
Helping the wounded and the
Ones who have lost their way.
Empowered to serve
Leading each one who will heed
The Master's call to feast at the
Table already prepared.
It is an honor to be empowered
To serve at the Master's
Beck and call.
Faith with Your empowered love, LORD, is our strength to please* YOU ceaselessly, while worshiping and thanking You...
...Keep us trusting YOU with Your imparted faith that has miraculously quickened our souls, and is marvelously reviving our spirits...
...Anchored upon Your omnipotence, believing that YOU are our God Who specializes in impossibilities, assuring us Your compassion...
...For us to minister to others with love, devoid of selfishness, overcoming covetousness and greediness.
*Hebrews 11:6 ...Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
