She Is Too Emotional

She is too emotional
with her feeling
prompted poetry,
her drama queen
knee jerk responses,
her lightening speed
attachment to the
possibility of companionship,
her perpetually
open heart.
She is like a child,
thinking all things
have to do with her,
taking to heart
the words and actions
of others.
She is incomplete
she knows it,
but she will not
be completed by anyone
outside of herself.
She eventually comes to regret
every unguarded word,
every inproperly timed
heart felt conversation,
every assumption of
a true connection,
for it is in those moments
of emotional unguardedness
that she reveals herself.
It is those moments
that later torture her mind
for she sees that they were precious,
only to be shared with those who
have proven their worthiness.
She who is too open with her heart
must now find the balance
to become a woman at peace.

The End

It was in the edge in his voice
It was in the verbal distance of his tone.
It was in the stilted words he spoke.
It is the end.

God and I

Lay all my fears at His feet.
Lay all my loves at His feet.
Find the courage in my heart to let go.
He and i are like a tear and smile.
He is the core of my saddness.
He is the essence of my happiness.
i can feel Him in my skin.
i can sense Him in the thuds of my heart.
Every fear i have
lonliness
hurt
abandonment
rejection
He wants me to lay at His feet.
He wants me to let go.
Every love i have
dance
family
friends
sunshine
serving
He wants me to lay at His feet.
He wants me to let go.
i feel Him in my skin.
i sense Him in the thuds of my heart.
He and i are like a tear and smile.
He is my beginning
my ending
my in-between
full of my choices.
i am laying all of my fears at His feet.
i am laying all of my loves at His feet.
