That defining moment

by Soulful Storytellers, LLC, posted in Poetry

That defining moment when this life’s journey is coming to an end

God sends the message you must leave your family and friends

That defining moment when you realize the journey here is through

When the physical must depart and your soul will be born anew

That defining moment when you accept one must go into the light

When you let go and say they will be alright

That defining moment when you are seeing family from an aerial view

When you want to tell them not to cry over you

That defining moment when you smile and say

For those who believe we will be together again one day

There are so many defining moments in our life that seem more profound than the next

But none are as defined as the transition from life to death

Our dearly departed we cry for thee

We cry for we know your physical will no longer be

Yet once we have reconciled our loss

We will rejoice in the life you lived and celebrate that you are home with the ultimate boss

Yes, that defining moment we know must and will come

You will be taken at your purist to sit with Our Father and Son

A new chapter begins when this life ends… That defining moment… Blessings

No matter

by Soulful Storytellers, LLC, posted in Poetry

No matter how disillusioned I become my faith in you is never done

No matter how many tell me it’s not real my passion for you I always feel
No matter what they say I know you love me in every possible way
No matter how hard I fall you pick me up and help me to stand tall
No matter how dark the day you will light my way
No matter how deep the wound you remind me it will heal soon
No matter where I am you are there
No matter …

Dear God it’s WE…

by Soulful Storytellers, LLC, posted in Poetry

Please don’t take offense to the questions we ask

For we just want to know when this misery will pass

We are tired, we are weak, we are worn

We can’t believe for this we were born

Mistakes have been made, lessons have been learned

Yet we cannot find love for one another that which we yearn

We come to you on bended knees with open hearts

For you are the foundation, our very start

We ask you to purify the ground on which we stand

For your powers far exceed any man

Please don’t take wrath for the questions we are about to ask:

Do you feel we are truly unrepentant of our sins?

Amongst the wicked many good people walk

Do we have to physically die to truly live?

Spiritual wars, fighting evil in every way

Will you really turn your back on us if we took our own lives today?

Will you take into account that we could not stand anymore?

Dear God it’s We, not me

I speak on behalf of the many that are afraid to leave questions at your door

I am not afraid for I trust in you and you know my heart is pure

Some became disillusioned and took flight

Yet we ask that they are offered salvation too,

for they truly do not know what they do

Dear God it’s We

Tears flowing, as requests of forgiveness escapes our lips

Hands raised and held up high

Not just here asking you why

Dear God it’s We,

Imperfect in every way, standing before you today

Admitting there is so much we don’t understand

We desperately need your almighty hand.

Questions

by Soulful Storytellers, LLC, posted in Poetry

Women always ask the questions

What are your intentions?

Where lays your affections?

Asking questions because they are afraid to just come out and say, ‘I fell in love with you a minute before yesterday’

NOW…

Men go the other way,

Gotta keep their ‘swag’ up as they say

‘Ask me what you want to know’, not volunteering information playing safe and moving snail slow

Can’t say I blame either side

Men don’t want to show their soft side

Always looking for the next best thing to ride

Women, well let’s just say are emotional creatures born to love until their dying day

Don’t get me wrong when a man truly loves he will love strong

But the questions loom overhead,

Why do we have to ask just come out and say it instead.

We play kiss don’t tell games with each other’s heart

Pretending it’s okay to  just hang out, but that’s only at the start

When talking leads to hugging when kissing leads to caressing

When intimacy gets so sweet emotions run wild and feelings are no longer asleep

NOW…

This ‘hanging out’ becomes more than what you bargained for

One heart begins to strongly question, ‘how deep is this affection?’

The other heart says, ‘this is all good’ and begins to question, ‘how much more can I get and still avoid a long term connection?’

Ha, ha they laugh sarcastically, each on their own agenda with one mutual question: ‘what’s in it for me?’

Men and women play the question game their target is both the same…mine and me

Pretending to one another it’s ours and we

Are we keeping it real pretending less is more?

Tossing the hot potato seeing who’s going to let it hit the floor

Can’t say I always understand the questions one asks and the other avoids answering

Too bad both wastes so much time just doing me and mine.

Questions, in the beginning, in the middle, and never seems to be answered and never seems end…

The Bare Essence of Love

by Soulful Storytellers, LLC, posted in Poetry

As you hustle for that perfect Valentine gift for that special someone remember it’s beyond the day, the minute, the moment. If it’s true it will be eternal and not influenced by outsiders or corrupted by society’s views. The symbolic token is an enhancer for the bare essence of love.

Focus, adjust the lens, check the lighting and click.

The picture has been taken and now we evaluate to determine if it will be discarded or evolve into a series of consecutive masterpieces.

The masterpieces begin…you have just captured the bare essence of love.

Lyrically sweet, syncing to one another’s beats.

Sharing passions, freeing your inhibitions, entering territories forbidden to all others.

The bare essence of love

Syrupy sweet and bitter root the symbolic journey of two becoming one.

Unified and distinct. Only then do you realize that you were a mere half and now your whole.

The bare essence of love.

Passion remains even in adversity. Strengthen the bond thru each laugh and raindrops of tears.

You may not finish every sentence or complete every thought but united you stand after the wars that were fought.

The bare essence of love.

Daily expressions not date driven. Said or unsaid, energy radiates from inside out.

Admiration of what you share no other will compare.

The bare essence of love.

Loving one another becomes your religion. The greatest gift that surpasses all other.

The gift that lead to our existence.

The bare essence of love permeates thru your union and engrains itself in every fiber of your being.

When you capture the bare essence of love, it is, and always will be soulfully yours…
