True love breaks down the defenses of a guarded heart

Sordid images convulse & writhe/ betrayal's child/ having fermented over time/ & with redundancy/ now it finds/ acts of devotion/ akin/ to an excorsistic rite/ protesting mightily/ succumbing/ reluctantly/ to the existential reality of light/ & the ability of love to revive/ even a heart/ that's flat-lined...

New Poetry by Shirley Beauty Houston

Some relationships are predestined

Forever

A woman is made weak by her lover''s touch

You are Powerful

From failure there is redemption

Phoenix

The rhythm of the ocean and serenity of solitude reminds me of the importance of celebrating the craft of poetry for its own sake

Freedom

A woman declares her independence after years of living the life someone else chose for her

Free

Releasing poetry into the atmosphere through the spoken word allows it to permeate the ear, eyes and soul of the audience. I spit it real!

I am Beauty
