LAME AS ME

-








My Lord gazes profoundly, a hue of tenderness,          
Usually our glances penetrate each other, I deeply gulp. 
But this day, shame dwarfs my uncanniness,
So that I come reluctant as a dirge
I come anyways Lord, lame as me. 

I might be filthy, swarmed in grit, 
I might be distraught, burdened with regret,
I might be violent, me judging me. 
For not breaking the bad, but could I ?
I come anyways Lord, lame as me. 

Didn't you promise, where sin increases,
Your grace does too, your highness? Rm 5:20
You have the means to unlock these chains,
And free the sinner, burdened by pain. 
 So I come anyways Lord, lame as me. 

For to whom else shall I go?
You have the message of eternal life. Jn 6:68

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM WHOM MY HEART LOVES?

Have you seen the one whom my heart loves? Song 3:3 Resonated by the Mary of Magdala at the wake of Resurrection. Recall the devastation, the frustration, the wonderment? Of a woman in love and loss all at once, the confusion? He soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found. Psalm 37:36 Here goes the tone of pain.   Designate was the voice that called, Mary! John 20:16 Intimate and consummate was the trill, so merry! The voice pitched in hope, cleared the guise. Does it happen that the deceased are rekindled? She sought for a corpse to accord a decent burial, But HE comes whole, victorious and alive! The pain turned victory!   Feminine audacity, she’s the first herald. Announcing the Good news! “He’s risen!” The sinner forgiven much, loves much. Luke 7:47 Many a person will promise love. But when a woman loves, she loves to bits. Crowned apostle, sweet little pebble. Found Him whom her heart loved. ...

BESTIE LET ME TELL YOU!

Dear Bestie, My memory belches unpleasant evocations strenuously entered into its reserves. I recall for instance, the snake bite of my aunt, how frightful it must have been for her. I recall my mother’s painful strokes, an astute testifier of using canes on kids, aha! I recall my athletic cousin who duped us into emptying our pockets, only to vanish in the prodigal son’s manner. I recall my step mother, locking up the corn stores so that we starved in my Dad’s absence. I recall my aunt’s disappearance after facing the sharp knife that would end her education. I recall the violence that erupted after one election period scattering us like frightened chicken. I recall these things;  I recall them with a remote lingering haziness that would rather be left alone. I recall these and more, I recall the decisions that emanated from these moments. These experiences were bearable, these memories, melancholic as they sound, are bearable.  But Bestie, let me tell y...
