FEAR

Think of all the reasons I cannot stand alone
The weariness that finds me even when I'm home
the guilt of feeling greedy
the ache that leaves me needy


Never pegged me desperate
would never beg and plead 
my world, each day more temperate
they watch me slowly bleed

Everything they tell me
never did what doesn't
with empty words they quell me
and I pray for all that wasn't


I paint His name on choices
and see His face in voices
and wonder If I know Him

Wonder where He went
I'm pliable and spent
I'm used and I am taken
Refused and I'm forsaken


Phased by weak's critique
Beat by pride's attack
Retreat as though I'm meek
And grasp the knife that's in my back

I thought we had a deal
This part I wouldn't have to feel
This was a temporary stage
Forever ago You turned the page.

Still stuck in the chapter
lost in the verse
the "happy ever after"
is the part we didn't rehearse

Facing things that I know are to come
Alone and unready, it has me undone
No strength to regal me
if only they knew
I'm weakened, I'm empty….ripped right on through.

No one left 
No one but me
a small hidden life that no one can see

A single tear
on a face that frames fear

You've finally found me. Finally.

I love men. I REALLY love men! Now anyone who knows me must wonder HOW I can feel this way at this time in my life. I will tell you why. Any woman will tell you that women can be awful to each other! Wickedly, horribly, vengefully, tongue waggingly, scaldingly AWFUL! I would rather be beat to a bloody pulp than endure the scorn, disapproval and mockery of most of the women I know. Fortunately, there are few that I know (or should I say STILL know) that have given it to me.  Now there are many men that know and will agree that women CAN be awful.   Women are great at manipulation and control if they want to be and there are VERY few things that a (any) woman CANNOT make a man do if she is really intent on making him do them.  She can also make a man VERY sorry in a way no other man can make him.  Yes, women can be awful. I have never felt the obligation to defend womankind.  I have never felt the need to make up for another woman's awfulness, or a group of women's awfulness

A Look Inside The Nutcase

So if you haven't guessed, this blog is about the Commune.  There are too many people that think I'm joking, too many people that think I'm confused, A number that think I'm retarded and several that think I belong in the looney bin.  It's time all of you made an INFORMED decision!  Honestly, this "commune" has been in my heart for a very long time.  It was not a necessity then, but now it is.  I haven't wanted to blog.  There is too much that cannot be said and one knows that you can always count on me to say it once I open my big mouth.  So I cannot write about me, not now anyways.  There is too much inside of me that is not pleasant for the viewing but it will not always be so.  I have always trusted the Great Physician and there is no heart surgery too complicated for Him.  I will come out whole.  In the meantime, I must let you see what's inside this noggin'.  I may seem irrational, but I am not. I may seem illogical but I assure you it

PAST

  When I was before I'd been I wrote it down marked blue in pen Reminding me of oaths I swore the "who" I was would be no more Years have past since now was then I look back at me now and again I'm really not a mystery not so intriguing I've stayed me The recollection makes me sick I fight to find what makes me tick and I waste time in revelry the worship made for only thee Disdain the patterned path I've found behind the pride I've built around the more I hate the less of me as I dissect the self you see And I despise.... the horror of... I close my eyes, the plaintiveness of wounded sighs Past attacks with mortal blows Present mocks as future glows the flesh grieves what the spirit knows all that gleams is not what grows...

For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us Go
