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 (oh...

Grateful Heart, A Warmth Within
The 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 Grounds
Her 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 Deconstruction
The 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...

Ann
With 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 Spirit
My 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...

Premium Member 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 You
We 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 Bet
Me 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 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 Bombs
What 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...
