Evicted

Evicted

A Poem by Dani California

 

 

Love needy...

 

Exploring

Pouring

Out of my soul

Love

All of me

You can have it

Here, hold my world 

I'm only asking 

For true love in return

 

He studied me like a textbook...

 

Seeking love

Finding deception 

Motives

Not governed by love

Steal my kindness

Weakness

Is what you read on its label

A dime a dozen

Is what you paid

 

What he got...

 

Grab my heart

Squeeze it

Until it bleeds

Don’t waste a drop

A never ending supply

Of my painfilled

Bloody tears

Is what you got

To wet your egotistical whistle with

 

Worth the cost ...

 

And it only cost you..

Nothing

You took the

Five finger discount

And I

Like the fool my Father

Didn't raise

Unknowingly relinquished

My unguarded soul

 

Ah, but wait!

The fountain…

That beautiful flowing

Healing fountain!

I must find it

I must …

For if I don’t

I will bleed to death

Internally

Eternally

And the "I" that I am meant to be

Shall perish

Prematurely 

 

…..and I’m not done here yet.

 

I call out to the fountain,

My lovely healing fountain

Oh no…

My voice!!

Where is my voice?!

Can you hear me?!

I scream in silence

 

For years.

 

Head down,

Walking through life 

One day

I stumbled upon a 

Fountain

A beautiful

Clear, pure

Flowing, healing

Fountain

 

And it spoke to me… 

 

“Drink of me,

Or you shall suffer

A spiritual death.  

Your insatiable need to love

And to be loved …

Will be no longer.

Your purpose will be taken

It will spill from you

Causing a flood

And the one who truly needed you

Who is waiting to love you

Will drown.

 

So I drank…

 

The sweetest water I have ever tasted

A cool, clear, loving liquid

Glided down my throat

Into my bosom

My womb

My heart 

Peace,

Strength

LOVE

Not external

Internal…

 

Clarity...

 

Perception

Changed its direction

And found the place

Where true love is conceived

Within

Where it has always been

Waiting  

And now resides  

Eternally

The previous tenant

Was a liar

 

And was evicted.

Loved the whole poem but the above lines were just exceptional. I think you have reached a new high. The energy in the piece is refreshing. And finding love within, priceless. Good job Dani.

Hey Dani, all the best things in life do... just happen. This is so spot on for me. Call the sheriff! There is a squatter taking residence in my heart and mind. I can't extricate her, I can't placate her, I can't satisfy her... I am lost.

You are incredible thank you for the look through your poetic crystall ball...

For what have we if not will-desire to succeed.. and the infinite fountain.. that wondrous elixer flowing-
drifting through spirit- bringing upon enlightenemnt- in way of new perspective.. this poem roots itself
in the soil of justification.. and branches toward the skies of eternity.. those endless skies where emotions
fly free..to speak truths in projection.. and when one gives the heart to another for the sake of love..

what are the dynamics to such cause/ is it to being loved back.. or to share.. or both.. in many ways
your words draw upon an examination of self awareness.. being able to recognize what ills the heart
and ridding element keeping emotions not loved/ but tied down- controlled- but to be set free means
being able to love again with a better understanding to the effect. i love your masterful way with words

A magnificent write, Dani! So much emotion in this.

Grab my heart

Squeeze it

Until it bleeds

Don't waste a drop

A never ending supply

Of my painfilled

Bloody tears

Is what you got

To wet your egotistical whistle with

Incredible imagery and beautiful in design and flow! X0 Carole

This had a really good flow throughout. It definitely changed pace by the end of the poem and I liked that. Some of the words halted the flow of the overall piece but other than that it was emotional and evocative. I really liked it.

Internal�
Clarity....
Perception
Changed its direction

These lines speak volumes to me. I love to read how people are transformed from the inside-out and offer to the "outside" what they have found on the inside. What a transformation this poem shows! It is beautiful. Love it. Love you....

How wonderful that you go in a different direction and my Holy Spirit taps me on the shoulder with exasperated glee and nearly screams, "she's got it! you need to learn this too, Robin...read it again and again, oh a few thousand steps with Hail Mary's should do it, better still why don't you wise up and find this fountain that she's taliking about...gotta be around here somewhere! C'mon C'mon hurry up here comes Father with an eviction notice!!!"
I am most pleased to start my day off in serendipitous self discovery, through an ethereal bond of sacred intent no less, magical and Holy! Thanks for helping me get my gears back in sync...with Truth
