Lisa Visor Poems

and I came to understand
She is love
and there is some essential beauty in wanting her
wanting to linger in her laughter
...

My days bend and curve
exposed by time
shouldering burdens
rethinking regret
...

I sigh in that quiet strength
Lean against a wall of fear
And accept the death of innocence
In you I see faith
...

He found redemption
danced with the devil
got lost in frustration
from the pain in his heart and
...

Her voice poured through the space between us
then reached in
and something inside me came undone
she’d found a piece of me
...

Fires in mind
Of a stranger than fiction kind
Rhymes and tales
Of hetro jezebel’s
...

I am a voice of denied love
because my fashion
ain’t your style
I’m here
...

So when asked if my love for my brothers of color had been stolen
I simply reply
There is but a thread of love
which bonds me to my brothers
...

Lessons on becoming myself
living aint easy
godly in my madness
shattered truths
...

Lips of a rebel
enslave my soul
with a slight touch
they reward those in the grasp
...

I see god in her
In her strength
her courage
In her wisdom
...

I could feel the strange silence settling in my skin
while deep chills ran down my spine
I tried my best not to look you in the eyes
I looked at you sitting alone, lonely in the moment
...

born out of struggle
between wisdom and madness
between your imagination and my clarity
I look up to the universe
...

I’m confused as to why you don’t see my agitation
I need a moment of solitude
And I don’t feel like the drama
that comes with being
...

She leaned into me
with all her faith
giving me the power to destroy her
but trusting me not to
...

Until this moment
my imagination had been enough
Now my head rests
against your breast
...

Talking like a woman
who knew the world by heart
weaving together phrases
always doing my part
...

Listen…

I've been meaning to say this forever ago
I'm sorry for all that I did to hurt her
...

Listen…

I've been meaning to say this forever ago
I'm sorry for all that I did to hurt her
...

Offering my soul
Needing salvation
And in the distance
Deep inside my head
...

Lisa Visor Biography

Born and raised in Aurora, Illinois. Even as a child I've always had a love for words. Through words I have found a voice of expression which aids me in dealing with the world around me. In each poem that I birth there is a piece of my journey in discovering who I am. As a lesbian of color, like many others, my life is not immune to society’s cruel and brutal reality. I’ve used words to heal myself, to allow myself strength and compassion. My hope is someone will use my words as a guide to give them the same. “Here I bear my naked soul; I promise nothing and expect nothing but the same.”)

The Best Poem Of Lisa Visor

'She Is'

and I came to understand
She is love
and there is some essential beauty in wanting her
wanting to linger in her laughter
to rest in her arms
she is wild
and free
and yet divine
she is my heart’s desire
What I ask for in my prayers
The defender against anything I fear
She is my peace keeper
People don’t see what I see
Even when they’re standing next to me
She is faith
Found me tired and broken
Helped me find peace in my faith
She is everything
I’ve been looking for
My promise of something
