Lana Grissom Poems

Single mother, I applaud thee,
For you are rare jewels, a precious commodity.
Taking on more than you can possibly bear,
Expanding your mind farther than you can comprehend.
...

Do you remember me?
When you held me shackled in captivity
Stolen from the Motherland
Stripping me of my pride of just being a man.
...

I need this to unburden my soul.
I need this to live free
as this is my therapy.
Your mind gets jumbled and somewhat confused at times
...

A Masterpiece currently...Under Design by the Divine One Himself.
He takes his time to construct delicately
To make sure all the details are inlined.
...

This is how I envision love to be.
Life will be full of roses...fragrant consuming the are that I breathe,
I will give freely, hopelessly...wearing my heart on my sleeve,
I will not question to judge this reality, my asked for,
...

Leaves scatter in the wind all awhile she feels so lonely within
they need to be raked but the yard and the hurt in her heart are to great.

The rain comes beating down
...

I see poetry as soul
I see poetry as prose
Cleansing of my spirit
Soothing to my soul.
...

Presently, I sit here failing this test
I must admit, I'm very hard on myself
One might say 'Lana you've come a long way' but presently today
I feel a long way is still a long way.
...

My Chocolate Love Affair, would you be so consumed
if you only knew,
how my heart melt's for you,
like a Hershey's kiss sitting in my mouth.
...

Love is kind
Love is patient
Love is a choice,
But it isn't blind.
...
