In a world full of thirsty beings, 

We must be the brightest light that shines 

In the darkness and brings forth the water.

Admiring the view

So, last night I was driving up Lafayette Avenue and I reached the corner of Elmwood.  As I sat at the light with such a warm breeze coming in through the windows, I started admiring the view of the Elmwood Village.  People were walking up and down Elmwood, happy to have a nice day to get out of the house.  There was the girl just coming out of yoga class. The couple having a romantic walk after dinner.  The friends who just came out of the bar for happy hour.  The bike riders strolling down the street. The couple w/ their new born baby, taking him/her out for a walk.  And then their was me w/ my two gorgeous boys in my car admiring the view from afar and embracing such a wonderful night.  

Coming Soon.....

It's a shame you can't see the change in me,

Because this change brings the inner beauty out of me,

My smiles come out even in my sleep,

The laughter subdues the pain that was once there,

so its a shame you cant see this new side of me,

Cause frankly I've found the better part of me........

I finally let go

This past weekend I finally let go,

I finally found the altar that I longed for. 

HIS words were on point and very much needed to be heard. 

Even though it was physical tears on the outside,

On the inside it was a scream let out – that was held in for way too long,

My spirit was at the edge of a mountain top yelling, stomping and letting it all go. 

With my arms wide open I surrendered to the light,

And embraced its warmth inside my soul,  

It was a cry of morning, betrayal, laughter, Joy, Love lost, heartache for my loved ones,

Forgiveness, freedom, compassion and so much more.   

A cry that was finally Released.  

A poem I love.....

Good Afternoon Poetic Word Followers, 

Below is a poem from a poet I recently heard about.  Hope you like it! Smile! :) 

Wild Geese

You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

love what it loves.

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

Meanwhile the world goes on.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain

are moving across the landscapes,

over the prairies and the deep trees,

the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.

~Mary Oliver~

Have a Great Week Loveys! 

My Thoughts for Today

Good Morning Poetic Words Followers,

I hope this post finds you in great spirits and good health.  I have to say this past weekend has been interesting but definitely full of Love and gratitude.  Everything happens for a reason and that's why we must always be Thankful for what we HAVE and what we DON'T HAVE.  A quote from this weekend "In order to get out of the Darkness you must let the Light in." So I leave you with these words my loveys: "Be the light in the middle of darkness." 

May you all have an awesome week and smile even during trials.  

Much Love,

ME! :)

It seems...

It seems as if days are shorter,

Nights are longer,

Beauty has been uncovered

and Life is still a wonder.  

Loving others for who they are,

passing judgement is not in the cards,

a pocket full of sunshine to bring me a smile,

and little hugs that make the whole world go round. 

A glimpse of you via song or the wind,

A silence to reach within,

Living freely to dance in the rain,

and singing loudly all for HIS gain. 

Quote - Let the past....

Let the past be gone, the present be alive and the future be wide open. ~Me~

Quote - Art gives .....

Art gives you the freedom to express yourself and liberate the inner workings in you. ~Me~

Here is to New Beginnings

One type of Love has deceased

 But another has awakened in me.

This new love makes me feel butterflies,

Every sight has a new ray of colors,

A rainbow full of colors that even scientists haven’t even discovered,

So if this is how it must feel to have lost one type of love,

 In order to receive another,

Then I will never again fear to lose something,

That never brightened my day as much as the next.

Sisterhood

A sisterhood is not to be taken lightly,
A sister does not have to be from the same blood line,
But it's a bond with another woman or a group of woman's,
A bond that no matter how many obstacles you should both or all come across,
You are to understand, respect and love each other.
Embracing each other thru thick and thin,
Not breaking any barriers of trust,
But growing with each other,
Infusing; Love, laughter, knowledge and wisdom with each other.
Gathering when one or all are in need of support and love.
Lifting the other one up during trials,
Praying for each other when the devil is trying to knock the other down.
A sisterhood is not to be taken lightly,
The power of woman creating such a beautiful bond full of all these things and more,
Shows our youth that the bond in a true friendship can be strong even during times of weakness.
A sisterhood is not to be taken lightly,

We should hold on to it deep in our hearts forever!

~Tayrin~ 

Reflection

A full figured woman sitting all alone,

Emptiness and sadness felt deep into her soul,

Nothing but slouches and frowns to show a world,

That is full of glamour and minus 0 size dresses with a twirl.

If this is what glamour is to be?

Then why is it that a dress like that is not made for silhouette like me?

A feeling to be like those un-ideal models in those magazines

But I dare ask within myself

Does such a dress make a beauty out of me?

Or is it the frown turned to smile that shows the inner me?

Is it the helping hand that I provide for those in need?

Or the ear I lend when my friends need me?

Could it be the laugh I burst out when I have finally set ME free?

Or all the love I have to give that channel to everyone around me?

Could it be the simple gesture I will make to let you know everything will be ok?

Or is it when I start dancing in my room and singing: Stand a little Stronger that really gets to me?

Oh wait; never mind I finally see her.

Yes, here I am – Hi, My name is Tayrin and my reflection is finally enough for ME!

The Sun

As he lingers behind you,

Waiting for your next move,

He wants you to harmonize,

To his seductive groove,

He sings at a tone,

Not so much in tune,

But to you it’s appealing,

It’s a song you choose,

Your thoughts say its peace,

But subliminally he’s bringing you under,

Causing havoc causing pain

Causing for you to lose

All that you have gained

A life less ordinary

A life bringing you to shame

Some say – where did you go wrong?

But your question is the same

Your inner being,

Knows you have strayed

Knows where you stopped

Believing in the Suns power

The Sun revived you back in the days,

Don’t you remember when you called his name?

You exalted and thanked him

For the life he gave

But until you get to that place,

You will still walk in the rain

The serpent will be heavy on your shoulders, we say,

He will be sneaky and creep thru in every way.

All I ask of the Sun

Is to keep you warm during the cold

And to guard you from the demons,

That lingers in your home

For you my love

Have tumbled amongst the lost

Have stepped into the dark

Just like most.

See, I once walked among the lost,

I could not see past the branches,

So, I paid the price, I paid the cost

And Now I see the chances.

I no longer feel as if I had been tossed,

I see clearly and start prancing,

I have not been criss-crossed,

These obstacles have just helped me keep dancing.

~Tayrin~

White Noise

Searching for solitude in the middle of all the white noise,

Clearing my head from all the dark choices,

Things were said, Things were done, But at the end of it all,

It’s you that will always, always be true to my heart.

As humans we tend to ask, why??

Why? To all the deaths that surrounds us

Why? To all the chaos is beyond us,

Why? To all the rapes, molestations and battered woman and kids, is past us.

But at the end of it all, it’s your forgiveness that calms us.

So here is to no asking why?? All the time,

Here is to knowing that you are God, here and now,

Here is to the Love you have instilled in me,

And here is to you blocking all the White Noise that surrounds me.

Darkness

There is only Darkness in your eyes, 

When you look at me,
There’s not even a twinkle of ecstasy,
your body just tenses next to me,

Misery is your only expression,
In which saddens most,
This season has become your oppression,
Cause your body continues to let him be your host,

He seduces you with whispers of sin,
Whispers of unrealistic things,
Blinds you with his hollow wings,
He’s become your shadow twin,

In time it will show,
That this Queen is not damned,
She’s a Queen with Humble heart you know,
A Lioness Woman that has not been slammed,

Silent in the Jungle she waits,
For his voice to say,
Its time to hear her Roar my mate,
There’s no time for play,

Till then I will be still,
thanking the Lord,
For having my back,
during this spiritual war.

~Tayrin~ 

The Authority

Today I can’t find the words 

I find myself thinking
But no words to explain
No words can define
No words that have been fashioned
To the way I suffer inside

I’m lost in thoughts
Accepting how I got to this place
Trusting that all will be restored some day
As gloomy days seem to disappear
The moon enlightens
The sun encourages
The lives of my offspring’s help me see my future
It may seem far away now
Except it’s closer than ever before

Today I drown in sorrow
I cry out for answers
Tomorrow gives me strength
On the road to carry on with my flight
My path is now clear
My ecstasy is coming back
My life is being restored
Through the mere presence of my boys

Remembering my father’s voice
Recalling my grandmothers prayers
Gives me the authority to move forward
Allowing to leave my past behind
No more sorrows for this case
No more tears only a dry face

~Tayrin~ 

Quiet Hymns

Through heart aches and desperation,

Through crying eyes and curious fingers,

Through constant solitude and lonely nights,

Is where I see you.

Through chaotic thoughts and a cautious heart,

Through muffled ears and a bleeding soul,

Through humbled figures and bending knees,

Is where I hear you.

Through times of poverty and times of prosperity,

Through endless rivers and stormy winters,

Through climate changes and seasons blending,

Is where I feel you.

Through all these sights and all these sounds,

Through all these feelings that I have found,

I search for more of quiet hymns

And open doors to the one within.

~Tayrin~

Your Cup

Wondering minds that think alike,

Kindred spirits and pouting lips,

Horrific lines that cast a spell,

Loving arms and times of lies,

Flapping wings come across my mind,

Laughter of all many different kinds,

Blowing wind that never subdues

Beautiful Ocean but scary truth,

Reflection is wavy and patience takes time,

But all in all it will always just be you and I.

Because amongst the clouds there's a blinding sun,

Waiting to send u a blessing from up above,

No closing eyes - Now Head Up,

Beautiful times to get your cup.

~Tayrin~
