Rainfall

I wrote this sorta on an ‘improv’ tip but I’ve grown to love it. It’s the space my mind has been in for a few days.

Rainfall

He fell on me
and I was covered Covered
with his heat
Covered with his power
....Covered by him

Him?
....my shelter
....my forgiver
....my redeemer

Redeemer?
Delivered my soul
Vindicated my heart
Avenged my love

Love?
.... cleared my mind
.... Renewed my spirit
.... saved my life

Life?
Fulfilled.
All
Because...

He fell on me
and I was covered
Covered with his heat
Covered with his power
....covered by him

~Psalms of Nia ‘05

Growth

Life seeds, poured upon my fertile mind,
mature into past lives….
Containing wisdoms of treaded paths,
as my mirror turn into an hourglass

~Psalms of Nia '04

Ode to my selfishness

*Explicit word used often, please don’t read if you’ll take offense

Ode to my selfishness

Born within my being
I
Struggle to name thee
Might as well,
…. since you ARE…,
make you a part of me…

‘Bitch’
Is what you prefer to be called;
‘Master’
Is what I feel you are
‘Destruction’
Is what you’re prone to do
‘Pain’
Is what I feel when I think of you

And yet………….
I use you all the time…….
Or… you use me?
……I allow you…don’t I?
Or… you take me?

“My Bitch”
Is what you say… I am

I am

~Psalms of Nia 12/04



*Don’t get it twisted…in no way do I appreciate being called a “Bitch” by any one other than myself. LOL… But this was an introspective piece I wrote after a conversation I had with my best friend. I looked at myself from the outside and realized I was acting like a total ass during the discussion…. she forgave me, but I had to pen this afterward.
~Nia

Just because…

I love off late night phone conversations….
Transcending state lines and times…
Laying upside down in bed
..listening to you breathe…
excited about this conversation you lead-
as you speak, I’m caught in my head
playin yours and seeing our lives- how it could be
if you love me… like I love you.
I picture your lips….your kiss
Which you reserved for that occasion by the door…
‘why not the floor?’
I think, but too late to be upset…. or speak
Because I’m fallin’ and want to fall
Into you.
Into what your words provide
Hoping your heart is in them…
… my trust is in them
Reservations aside
Over thinking aside
Consequences aside
Because I love off knowing there is much more to you
….for me to love

~Psalms of Nia ‘04
