Lisa Visor Poems

Listen; God you need to stop the world
and let me off
There is not enough room for both the devil and me
We fight constantly
...

Take me as I am
Confident in my ability to articulate my truths
I am Peace beyond passion
Beauty is what happens when I am busy being myself
...

I am sensual movements
affirmations of faith
I am the ache in my soul
the anger in my spirit
...

Am I to protect myself
from the angry homophobe
looking for a place for his rage
what am I to do
...

Reaching to meet you at the edge of heaven
I’d found you
hard and angry
and the world disappears around us
...

I spend a lot of time looking for God
Seeking faith
Running from the devil
Got me running on empty
...

Those moments when
I thought God had abandoned me
when things fell apart
life interrupted
...

Listen…

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

I crush fear into a handful of dust
and when my vision clears
I take an intimate walk through broken dreams
re-inventing myself,
...
