YER A BOLTIN’ WILL-WILD COLT

YER A BOLTIN’ WILL-WILD COLT
(c)2011, Leah Randelle Page

Yer a boltin’ will-wild colt
Bravado on yer sleeve cuz it’s yer main reprieve,
Defense against the invader,
That shadow nightmare violator
Hoof him under his chin, so his pretext can’t get in
And break yer spirit from within
Cuz it’s been had before, though there ain’t a soul that’s been told

Yer a hidin’ hermit hermaphrodite
By the force of yer broken voiced relief
As if you had a choice, but now
Yer wired from the inside out
Claw yer way to the sages, but you’ve been lost for ages
Amidst all those stolen embraces
And you can’t make tomorrow without letting go of yesterday

Yer a smokin’ silky seductress
The evil so interwoven with yer own longed-for-loving
That you can’t defend yerself
From yer shadow nightmare self
You can’t see his face, so you’ll cut his portrait
In yer own skin and use the blood
To rouge yer cheeks for weeks, to win the hope of just one chance

Yer a startin’ over again, you rover
Left that footprint in their sand, so now it’s off to Neverland,
Shake the dust off yer shoes
Though the nightmare always shadows
Maybe here will be the end where some sword will defend
So yer heart and soul can mend
Because all you know to wish for now is just a good night’s sleep



*Started reading new book "Rid of My DisGRACE" last night ~ recently published by Re-Lit, the "literary" arm of ministry coming out of Mars Hill Church, Seattle WA. So far, it has been a terribly good book. I bought this book to equip myself as I have more than one friend who has been sexually traumatized in one way or another - and after starting this book, I think I would also, by virtue of some past experiences, qualify as a victim of this kind of sin. But I am increasingly wondering if there will be any of us left in this coming world who WON'T have been violated, broken, stolen in some way. I can only pray the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus will bring redemption and healing and restoration for ALL of us who carry Shame.
