Journey of the Heart

    THE VENUS WOMAN   A true Venus born of a bone arose From the remnants of time- delicate as a rose Yet immensely powerful when defeated Courageous and defiant as needed   A hidden mystery yet to be figured out, she was Dark and forbidden as a graveyard at times, she was Yet so smooth and inviting in luminous splendor A valiant fighter to claim equality for her gender   An incandescent face often misunderstood during the day Yet persistent to survive in the vast majestic milky way  Those narcissistic red kings at times tries to steal her light Each time she stumbles but holds her composure in flight   The majestic star one day- reached Zion's mighty gate pleasing the guardians with the most exotic serenade  For underneath her iron core was a heart of pure gold unvalued and unseen by the egoistic man of this world   There, for her patience - a choice was offered as a bonus To culminate to one brawny Hercules or remain as Venus with an aphori...

This poem is about the gift of having a strong intuition… Some say I have a higher awareness enabling me to tap into a higher consciousness. I have always found comfort in writing, and when I wrote this poem last year, I was having rough time handling some awakening symptoms I wasn’t used to. After reading this I knew exactly what was happening. I realized that I am to use my heightened awareness to read and interpret others, and to share my poetry and personal stories, and to overcome any fears of failure of my own. If I try I have not failed. Yet, before this realization, I was afraid to listen to what my higher self was saying.

I believe that we are in a time when a woman has to stand strong. Whether we are young or in our sixties, seventies or beyond, we women need to build our self-esteem and encourage one another to follow our passions. And this is why I write: To inspire and encourage women of all ages to do just that. I think we women deserve a break! We spend our entire life taking care of others. We always think of others—which is not a bad thing—but there comes a time in our lives when we have to make room for 'us'. So I ask all women reading this today: What types of things do you enjoy doing in your life, that you have been prevented from doing over the years or because the circumstances were not right? Well, your time to do them is now. This poem is from my latest book and d...
