He didn’t believe in soulmates.
He barely believed in himself.
But something about her presence
felt less like a blessing
and more like a calling.
She didn’t burst into his life with fireworks—
she slipped in like a psalm,
quiet, steady,
and stayed.
Before her, life was thunder.
His peace came in punches, not prayers.
But when she was near,
even the silence softened.
She didn’t try to fix him.
She just reminded him
he wasn’t beyond repair.
Every time her hand found his,
the past lost a little more ground.
She never begged him to stay—
but somehow,
he forgot how to leave.
Even the pain made sense with her.
Because it came wrapped in something holy.
He used to wear rage like armor.
Now he wears her name
like it’s written on his heart.
She became his quiet place
in a world that never shuts up.
And if God ever calls her home before him,
he’ll search the ruins of every season
until he finds her again—
even if it takes
forever.
// why the poetry?
Simple.
We’re getting throttled. Shadow-muted. Pushed to the bottom of the feed.
So we’re shifting tactics.
Not compromising—just slipping in the side door.
These poems aren’t fluff.
They’re truth dressed in scars.
Real stories, real faith, real fire.
If something I wrote hit you…
If it helped, healed, or reminded you you’re not alone—
like it. restack it. share it.
It helps us bypass the gatekeepers
and get this work in front of the ones who need it.
Your support means more than you know.
Thank you.
Everything is hitting these days like a ton of bricks and sometimes it's quite painful. Thank you for the hard truths, no matter how painful. God bless you.
I like the new Poetry gig...not sure how that slips past the slippery gate keepers, but very glad it does
