Wheeling
I sometimes feel
if JC had been broken on the wheel
instead of impaled and nailed to a cross
would Catholics be at a loss
or wave their hand
reeling in a circular motion
in front of themselves
when 'wheeling'
as opposed to 'crossing' themselves
while Trinity words were spoken
and if so clockwise or counter
my best guess is the former
as 'tho sacrificed
counter would imply

Grateful Heart, A Warmth WithinThe trees that sprout from the tiniest of seeds.
The sunny sky
A hint of a breeze
The warmth from the fire, therein the crackling sparks tease.
I’m grateful for it all
From the North to the South, filled up mouths.
From the East to the West, downy beds.
Wealth piled up high
Never a restless night.
If there comes a day, where all...

That Is How Small The Mind Could Be To Beat
Soft heart can tell the silent dark sky's heat,
Red eyes might grow tough to handle mettle...
That Is how small the mind could be to beat.
Finger might flip up hints to pure deceit,
Somewhat so close to Cain's stunt on Abel;
Soft heart can tell the silent dark sky's heat.
Alcohol could have actualised such treat,
Upon rage within, ever...

Bitter GroundsHer breath was warm with coffee and sin,
Laced dark on my tongue, sharp and thin;
A bitter taste clung to the curve of her smile,
As dawn broke, trembling, and silent awhile.
Her hands, soft thieves, curled 'round my waist,
Stealing the quiet I longer to taste;
The sheets smelled of dusk, of cinnamon's ghost,
Of promises lost, of love turned...

Eve of DeconstructionThe Buffalo church, it is implodin'
Rhetoric flarin', parishes unloadin'
We're good enough to give, but have no say in votin'
You don't believe in division, but what's that decree your totin'
You fired our trustees and now you're gloatin'
But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve...

AnnWith the sudden pang in your abdomen
And the onslaught of terror,
Did you look around one last time
At the familiar keepsakes on the fireplace
Or did you avert your gaze?
In the frosty darkness of that night
As you climbed to that holy shrine
With mud colllecting at your ankles,
Did the Virgin hail her unexpected visitor
or did she...

Holy SpiritMy soul is lifted out of my mind.
In its stead—
filled by the Holy Spirit,
guided in silence by its breath...
like an angry wind held still
above a river born of crashing falls,
with a tooth that grinds iniquities,
and a sacred flame
that cooks the soul, the mind, the spirit—
to perfection...
for the baptism of old me
to become a whole...

Deep Down
When I see the darkness, I see the Qliphoth,
Each shadow mirrors the fire I’ve crossed.
A soul forged where mercy is lost—
I rise from Hell with no fear of cost.
They say I walk with devils and flame,
That I’ve chosen a path of whispers and shame. ...

God Gave Me YouWe both jumped off a cliff,
I fell
You flew
We both went for a dip,
You swam
I sank to darker hues
Each night my dreams play
On replay
These similar troublesome tales
Yet the day brings the light
Which reflects the words I only dare believe
From your eyes
And the rhythm of your heart
Beats several strides slower
Just so...

The PathLead me not to wander dear Lord
guide my footsteps amongst the
path of life.
Step by step as my journey beckons
up mountains down through valleys
keep me level in thy word.
Allow me to reach that glorious destination
where pain and sorrows are washed away
within the glory of your eternal love.

The BetMe and my god, we made a bet
and if I was right he’d clear me of debt
That pain was in-fact inherent to men
That hell was a place before their was sin
I spoke of war, what man’s will had brought
to Eden and Rome, the battles they fought
How freedom was gained when kindness was...

The Holy Land
The land is soaked in blood and tears
the hate is very old
Like all the ancient stories
in the Holy Bible told
Each vows to kill the other
asks their God to make it so
Their vengeance masked as prayers
consume the Holy Land of woe
No leaders can convince them
their hate like a disease
There is no cure for this old...

When Holy Hands Drop BombsWhat makes it okay to bomb a nation?
Kill so many who don’t have a station?
Destroy a country, cities and families?
Women, babies, children and men—all tragedies—
Who never chose this war… suffer again and again.
Across the globe, a catch twenty-two
Do what I say, not as I do.
What happened to the Fifth Commandment?,
In a world where religion is...
