That Bond Don't Carry No Weight

Boy!  That bond don't carry no weight.
A touch of pressure and surely it'll break.
Them words you preaching don't have no real meaning
That dreamy little world was created by a sneaky little snake

I'm here sitting, eyes closed, and lost within the depths of my troubled soul
As you stand there dreaming of your own perfect little world
"My God," I shout out!  Can he be this clueless or does he think I'm just foolish
To believe in this life where I must share him with this other girl

I'm just thinking with every lie he's preaching,
Can you please release me from this demon
Cause I'm sitting here trying to pretend
Like the love I had aint gone with the wind

Look!  That star is just shining innocently
It speaks to my heart, "saying be free"
I listen to that call and think it's for me
So I just smile and stand up, cause I've been freed.

Love Don't Love Me Softly

LOVE DON’T LOVE ME SOFTLY

You take me high then bring me low

Up in the clouds one day, next day to the floor

Love don’t love me softly

No, love don't love me true

Love don’t love me -love me

Not the way that I….. Love you

I’m sinking now; hope can’t be found

Church bells keep ringing, tears are falling down

I pull my knees, straight to my heart

Holding them tight cause I’m falling apart

Here shaking like crazy; frustrated and

Thinking of the days when it was your arms I felt

This hurt is just aching and I’m feeling like death

Can someone please save me, I need to feel myself

My spiritual energy drained and I have nothing left
Cause love don't love me softly, no love don't love me true
Love don't love me, love me, not the way that I love you

The Landing by Philessa Jenkins

The Landing

If I fall will you catch me

See the wall that surrounds me

Like that caged bird I long to sing

With a wide net I spread my wings

Flying high above the clouds

Looking down but spreading out

I see the things I long to touch

I feel the wind I journey much

But then I think I long to rest

I lay my head upon his chest

With patients I sit upon this place

I see that joy within his face

I found the home I needed much

I journeyed long but lost the rush

Those walls are slowly coming down

That bird that flew is on the ground

I AM

Today, I am strong because I have to beI stumble and I fall but I’m fast to my feetRefusing to accept even the slightest defeatI rise like the sun; shining my light for this world to seeI am that eagle soaring, that wind blowing, and yesYes! I am that storm coming and going strongI am, who I am, and I care not to be anything else but me

My Mountain is but a hilltop...

This hilltop I climb is as many mountains I’ve climbed before
I walk this trail not knowing my path but too afraid to go astrayI am then following the path of those who have come before meNot knowing their fate but hoping to be lead to a place of peaceA time or two I slip on a rock or a steep slope only to land in harms wayI’ve received many bruises this way, with only my hands to catch my fallI long for loving arms to caress me, be it for the wind I’d have only lonelinessThe birds sing joyous songs that sound like loud roaring laughterI pretend they are the angels of light coming to watch over meThis reality is but an illusion I dare not face

Lost (copyright 2013 Jenkins)

Lost, a ship wreck out in sea
A passing thought that comes to me
I wait for help so patiently
With just the wind to comfort me
There's not a word that I can say
With no more hope the pain wont fade
I stand alone lost in this state
Within the dark there's no escape
The rain does fall, it washes me
Cleansing my soul but never free
I know not what is left to do
So here I am without a clue

.....Lost!
