to SUFFER

This is the poem that started it all for me. The WIND blew 1night, onto me, purging me...setting me free. Sometimes we get lost, or fall down...but finding your Way, and getting back up, with HIM, Ur ok.

 

~to Suffer ~                       

                             

How could you not miss what

we ...have?      

Did we ever have it?

I could not have been wrong.

I could feel him not only when I felt him.

Was it hard to play that role?

Of whom you really were not.

I thought it was something really wrong… me

Wanting always to forgive, and get over it?

I thought there was nothing wrong to continue.

I have heard words from him with no sound.

My music is dead.

I have learned to live in the NOW.

I cannot live for what could or might not be.

                              ~That might kill me…

I want to live.

And for that to last, not only in the future

But NOW.

Do I forget the past?

How?             

You forget by knowing what you have right NOW.

Nothing…

So you live!

You live and come out of the dark lonely hole

Queen you still have your soul.

What you had was good

What you had was it... good?

He is gone

The thought of something , anything, keeping me

The thing that kept me is revealing to me.

Appreciate. Learn. Continue to trust.

He has a bigger plan for you, and you must.

The tie is broken

He says, just follow...

There are much brighter days my precious gem… tomorrow.

You had to SUFFER, ...and endure.

So that you could see the impure.

Sweet dreams and sunshine NOW!

He says follow me my beloved and I will show you how.

I feel no pain.

I feel no sorrow.

I have HIM in my heart for my tomorrow.

I leaned on you, and you when I could

I thought you were my Rock, wrongly understood

Mighty you were until you let it get to you

Was it juicy (you liked)?

Or Luci (who liked you)?

Whatever it was…will not be.

You see I have cried my last tear-yesterday.

I have to remember he promised me better tomorrow.

He said to give all you have is not a bad thing-just sacrifice the ring.

You trust me don’t you?

Follow me to your tomorrows.

           ~Listen to My Voice~

You can’t go wrong. Keep praising ME.I AM the better choice.

No regrets. You had to suffer.

You had to toil.

 When I gave you My WORD, you placed it in the soil.

You know NOW

 to trust ME and follow my sound.

Together we’ll break fallow ground.

I know you want his  truth and love,

But my dear it is not greater than what is above.

I know you like flowers.

You will get that plus more, when I demonstrate my mighty powers.

You are on the right track-I told you today.

You are well on the way.

It’s easy NOW.

You are about to see.

When you only trust ME.I AM your GOD!

I..........LOVED........THIS.........PIECE! I had to read it twice to get the full scope and to realized that you were writing on behalf of God! Very impressive and forthright!

"I feel no pain.
I feel no sorrow.
I have HIM in my heart for my tomorrow.
I leaned on you, and you when I could
I thought you were my Rock, wrongly understood
Mighty you were until you let it get to you
Was it juicy (you liked)?"

Very emotional as only LL can! I love your metaphors. Very intelligent and clear(especially after a 2nd read). I think God feels this way most of the time! We take him for granted, but it can also be translated as the woman in his life being just as badly mistreated, and the bible says to put your wife in front of no one and for her treatment to be representation of your feelings towards God; or something like that, I don't know, it's been a while, and I think I heard that somewhere, but anyway.......this was a great write! Very beautifully written. It's Classic Lyrical Love.....

*hisses*

Perhaps all these people sending me these Requests somehow know me far too well already, or it's damned ka working again...

Why do all of them relate? Why can I see those two, and me, all speaking these things aloud? I'm seeing far too much of myself in mirrors that, while supposed to be mirrors, shouldn't be my personal mirrors.

Focusing on the Poem:

There are a couple speakers in this, so I surmise. I got a little lost, but it didn't prevent the essence from coming through, but it's a minor aesthetic (as far as abstract words go).

(Ergh, too much of the Rogue is seeping through. All this talk of trusting in what calls himself a GOD always incites him. There's only two Gods, the Tower, and whatever lies in the room at the top of the Tower, if anything at all).

What seems like suffering (from betrayal, confusion) turns into angry determination. Development? Yes, it's surely a step far above wallowing. The "taking charge" change is evident within the poem. The growth, that you speak of, seems to be the growth in confidence and self-esteem...and, that may be all that's necessary. But was something learned?

Thank you for asking me to read this poem....I am not sure I quite understood it ... some of the flow seemed very choppy but the metaphors where grand....cheers,lea

Spoken as one who knows that the Father is there for all who suffer loss. In this uplifting piece I read a message of hope. Very nicely written and a pleasure to read.

Beautiful language, passionate, and reflective... You have a beautiful voice LL

For me this was a difficult read. Im at a point in my life where I want with all my heart to believe but my head says keep trying. Soul searching is what I must do and came back to read this again. I am so happy for those who have suffered and will be there for those of us still suffering. I will read this again when its my time. Thanks for sharing.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

What an emotional roller coaster this is, it shows just how confused the heart and mind become when love is gone... trying to figure out what was real and why it really ended then coming to the realization that though it is over the fond memories remain and to love again depends on the faith you have within yourself... WOW very nicely done.

[Shondell]

wow good :)

[Marvin Lewis Jr.]

Bravo!
I love the progression and the sincerity of this poem, everything about it is simply beautiful!
From the imagery to the choice of words, the transparency and the descriptiveness is captivating...
This now a favorite of mine!

[Deborah Iyann]

What can I say? Beautiful (and exactly what I needed to read right now!). Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
