My Builder

He is gathering up the pieces of my heart.

With each day that goes by, he puts the pieces into place.

I let him in and he is careful; he knows this is the last chance.

I know no other way than to let him in, trust his words, and

let him take care of me once again.

My heart belongs to this builder; my one and only love.

Forces of Nature

a sea of tears have filled the tomb where my heart hides
protected from forces that fail to see
what a shame
the feeling is overwhelming
scared to break free from the catacombs
scared to stand exposed and unprotected
will he keep me safe
will he handle with care
my heart cannot know but will trust him once again

-Jackee

Forward

the pulling is exhausting
am I coming or going
one step at a time - forward
don't want to look behind
why is it on my heels
breathing down my neck
strange how I run faster
but it always catches up

it must grow tired someday
I will never falter
already traveled that road
left me in the black
resilient and surviving
never going back
keep your hands off me
take your words back
I am persistent
I am strong
quit pulling on my mind
my heart belongs to him

LONGING

She’s delicate
Sensitive
She longs to feel
To be touched
Deep within her soul
Her heart pains to be one
Devoted to her love
She is special
She knows
But cannot make it so
Why does she wait
She does not know
She needs be held
She wants to feel safe
Encircled by his desire
For her sacred power
To accept her beauty within
