Notes About The Poem
This poem is inspired by the inspiration for many of my poems.  The devotion, love, and beauty of my wife, Machel Leann Mills Lucas.

My Crazy Life

Mi Vida Loca.
Cherubims have 4 wings, I shall only have two.
Lions have 4 legs, I, Only two.
Mi Vida Loca.
The Path to love, like Christ, is the head of a pen sitting in sunlight.
In the pen.
In darkened light.
We bleed unseen wounds and look through the refracting lenses of addiction.
I shed many things, many appetites, and much betrayal.
You saw many things, many appetites, and much betrayal.
I am sorry.
Nossa Vida Loca.
You see in me, what barely fits through the head of a pen, sitting in sunlight.
I see in you, the voice which guided me through it.
Cherubims have 4 wings, I shall only have two.
Lions have 4 legs, I, only two.
Christ was brought three gifts, I only you.
4 legs, 4 wings, one flesh, and eternal love.
The sunlight shines brightly,
As the pen fades away, I rise.
