Fall For Nothing

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

In Fall For Nothing, the second book in the Poetry N’ Motions series, the poet journeys through temptation, conviction, and the quiet victory of grace. These eight poems move from the sting of misplaced affection to the steady assurance of God’s forgiveness and identity. Through raw honesty and gentle imagery, each piece wrestles with love’s illusions, the shock of divine correction, the complexity of human partnership, and the hard-won recognition of womanhood. Even unfinished thoughts become part of the testimony: mistakes do not cancel calling, and forgiven sins are truly forgotten. With lyrical vulnerability and spiritual resolve, Fall For Nothing invites readers to confront their own seasons of testing and to stand, whole and unashamed, in the truth of who God says they already are.

Misplaced Endearment

Respectfully, I declined your love

Hesitantly, I connected to the tugs

They pulled on my heart

Confused me and brought me shame

Now, nothing can be the same

Like a hurricane, these schemes stirred up my life

These tricks and traps brought my heart one inch away from a knife

But I caught it

I fought back

Because I thought that I might be stupid or feel stupid in the end

There is no way I could defend myself against the wealth of love sent my way

No way I could run or hide from his eyes of lies

His love rays shot my heart sending waves to my brain

Making it more difficult to maintain the structure and disciplines I have held dearly

Nearly, to my surprise,

I almost compromised my integrity

Inevitably, I reacted as nature would have it

In ignorance of my own personal trauma

Bringing my own spells of drama

To surround a lifestyle that's been clean for years

Untainted, and purple shade painted in graceful and modest attire

And it almost made me a liar

Not in words, not on paper

But in behavior

For I almost missed all the signs through what almost felt like the inability to resist and listen to my mind

I almost didn't hear my mind

Irresistibly, losing track of time

In what confusingly pulled me in disbelief

For I've never known anyone so kind

Thankfully, I am not blind

For though I cannot rewind time

And no excuses can I find

I know here is where I needed to draw the line

As I am not dumb

And though no party has won

I am happy that I am sane and that I saved the human I love most from a ton

Of despair and a ton of pain
