A poem in honor of International Women’s Day (3/8/13)

I’ve been a woman

too long searching
for ways to escape this cocoon
to spread wings wide, no longer hide
my being, my heart, my life.

Aching to find my way home
to this body, through this voice
no more asking permission
to be me, know myself
be at one with destiny.

Today, International Women’s Day
in honor of women born before
in thanks to women here now
I offer a prayer, a divine mandala
color of freedoms and dreams.

Bless this awaited return
to the roots of our sacred knowing
that while our days are numbered
our presence will be counted
in courage bared, in love shared.

For when we stand, live out loud
rescue our trampled souls
we heal the spirit within
to humbly transform, to proudly say
I’ve been a woman.

Scars Of My Past

Broken promises are thrown into the water as they scatter into the blue sea disappearing instantly

Raped of innocence

Vision of my past makes my heart starved for starvation

Destruction of my womanhood taunting me like it just occurred

Living a life that seems like a fairytale

Mirror Mirror on the wall who is the saddest of them all?

My heart shatters into broken pieces as they stumble past my heart

It lies on the cold concrete

A venomous wound standing alone and cold in summer

 Living in a world  of uncertain feeling

Image of pretty rainbow and sweet melody of the hummingbird

The spell is uncast I have awoken back to reality

Broken spirits

The devil took my  soul

Vision of my childhood as I am dancing with my enemy

Tears are streaming down my face creating a pretty red pond

Reaching adolescence feeling corrupt by rage

As my eyes are filled with anger

Resentment fills though each part of my body

Unable to trust those near me

I give them my love and they only want my lust

Living in denial I am starving for happiness

Walking down the pathway

With my head up high and a perfect smile

As if life is perfection

[Love letter]

Dear Self,

Remember that one time, you were biking up a huge hill and you just kept telling yourself, “Slow and steady, slow and steady, just keep pedaling slow and steady and you *will* make it!” And remember how you decided to adopt that mantra in your life to keep yourself focused and encouraged–even though so many times other people zoomed right past you making you doubt where you were in your process and progress toward your dreams?

Well, I just wanted to say thanks–for sticking it out, for not giving up. Because it isn’t all in vain. Because you are becoming. Because things are h a p p e n i n g.  Because I’m proud of you. ♥

Love,
Jenuine

Only You

You are the master and student.
You are everything and nothing.
And only you can bring yourself salvation.
Do not depend on a certain location, physical thing, or name to give that to you.
Freedom does not come from any future event or person whom you may meet.
The true place of liberty can only be entered through the N O W
~
be still.

As these words flow through thy ears, know that of which we are is much more than any description that is possible to hear, see, read, think, and even write. Feel the life in the body, the truth resides inside. Do you feel the vibe? Positive or negative state of mind, soak it in. Anything may have a way to either make us decay or be alive. Rhymes, buildings, relationships, etc. are created through the spark of inspiration. Oh… love has just came into attention. Essence asks of us to be aware to perform with quality is the intention. Focusing on our role which we take on this journey, whenever lost or locked on to our worry, remember we just forgot, labels and attachment obscured the connection with the Satori.
~ Lessons learned, knowledge gained, evolution is the concern, in the soul, wisdom has always remained.

O H . . .
This tree (:
and it’s leaves
look at it
without thinking, observe it be
B R E A T H E
Chemical free
Such tremendous beauty is possible to perceive
NATURE AND WE
are all connected in a way that is beyond any idea our human brain may conceive
however… ULTIMATELY it is up to these
eyes, ears, nose, mouth, body and state of mind
how one decides to recognize what is seen
it’s all about perspective see!
~
entwined within is everyone’s inner demon
identifying with form; attachment
it judges, blames, complains, fears, resists, holds grudges (and much more) about anything
does not care of what side it is in
because all it feeds on is self inflicted mental suffering
TODAY is still runs deep in the veins of our population distorting everything in the environment
O R I G I N A L S I N
~
another look at religion
we began in heaven
unaware of the joy given
The first bite of the apple from the green serpent
planted and nourished the knowledge of hell but learn to F O R G I V E
because N O W we know the difference
only in the here and now is when we ever make a decision
not in the past or in the future
but in that gap where our higher being moves and plays it dances and grooves through our body all the while
P E A C E
is placed and as it vibrates love emanates…
remember is our choice
hate or joy?

Race?

being hardly ever okay with the our story and it’s placement adds a low energy flow onto creation
notice that it brings unease through every choice taken
follows wherever we go whether it we stay here or a trip out of the nation
watch it as it spreads further through different heads and locations
we get hate and desires to have total domination
insane ideas to divide the people; segregation
contemplation
.

Constantly chasing
always trying to get somewhere
stressing, searching thy self in the clothes, hair, shoes we wear
See that this reality is fleeting, and there is much more to care for
because if we cant find fulfillment in these things that come and go, what are we to do?!
temporarily does it heal our blues
so understand this clue
move or just be
look at the truth, accept the lies and leave it behind
we expect too much and want more
than whats there in front of our face
hello human race, cant we see that all we need is right here?
.

feel that heart pump
compassion beats deeper than the blood that runs behind that chest
listen to the stillness underneath and between each breath
it’s beyond any name or title you may call it, I confess,
I’m in love with the highest vibration
this space i speak of, brings mind, body, and soul into a whole
realizes we are one
balanced.
Remember that all in essence is true divinity.

the letters matter but what about the space in between.
never have i seen
something so lively
it allows me to dance
and feel free
anything, busting, i must sing
out this song that I feel vibrating
withing my heart
I can hear my fingers start to reverberate words i have never used before
all along hovering over this keyboard
control, alt, delete.
think
what are the exact words that I want to say to thee?
OH! i can feel it screamin
if my heart had hands it be reachin out to the world
while staying even with it’s beat
where the fuck is that mic?!
I was out in the street tonight . . .
I want everyone to see that we are all F A M I L Y
smile (=
these words I leave behind.
