I built a kingdom of tenderness,
stone by stone with my pulse,
my love a fortress,
my prayers a shield you never saw.
You mistook patience for weakness,
devotion for chains,
spat on the altar,
shat on the gift,
and crowned yourself a god.
Love is not a toy.
It is thunder in the quiet,
a blade beneath the hand.
Today, I draw it.
I hand you to the wind,
to the fire,
to the silence between heartbeats
where God Himself whispers.
My obedience will no longer shield you,
my love will no longer soften your blows.
Watch the walls of pride crumble.
Hear the ground whisper beneath your feet.
Those who bowed to you will rise,
and the throne you claimed
will turn to ash.
You will not die.
Heaven has preordained your path,
but the proud break before they learn.
Grace waits in the dust.
Power belongs to the One who gives it,
never to you.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
