clouds of hellThe Cloud of Hell
It was a perfect day, cobalt sky and azure, glittering sea
When a stygian cloud came from the east, the Lord of Wars
spat phlegm, spraying us with horror
Inside this monstrosity, body parts, headless, were
Flying by the noise was unearthly, and my little dog
sheltered under my coat, I bought in Hamburg.
When the cloud had...

you amaze and enthrall ussacred, symmetrical, serious skeleton wheel
plotting out steampunk plans for the universe
Concentrating on circular curriculums
Decisive, deliberate display of planned plots
We watchers sit in wonder, wishing we could be of service
Knowing the sageness of your decisions must come from within
You amaze and enthrall us....

Messy Jalopy of My Friend VeeIn her messy jalopy, she made a bit of room for me
had to pick up empties; I counted twenty-three
I said, “You really like cream soda, I see”
She gave me a nod and thumbs up, my friend Vee.
We gave been comrades for a while, have shared history.
She has never been a neatnik like her mom or...

Emma and DeaconEmma, Empress of Unicorn Empire,
esprit de corps of elementary school,
expeditious at exaggerating expression,
eagerly extending empathy of enormous embrace,
endless enthusiasm, exuberant existence.
Deacon, Duke of derring-do,
diligently, doggedly daily to delightful displays
of dauntless daredevil, destruction,
determined gamer, droll demeanor,
dearly dedicated to devouring desserts,
Dad's double, diplomat of Dreamland....

Only our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is well able and willing to deliver usO it's only my precious Lord and Savior, who is really able,
To freely and fully deliver yours very truly,
From all of my habitual sins and all too persistent,
Inequities. O how far have I fallen from Your grace?
It's a miraculous miracle that you have not hidden
Your holy face far far far away from the likes of...

Troubles Are God's Messengers I've Been HomelessWhenever troubles come my way.
I turn to God and begin to pray.
There is nothing he can't do.
And he always has come through.
With God I'll never lose the fight.
Because he always makes things right.
Whether the battle is people or my mind.
I ask Him to fight for me every time.
Let me share a fact that's true.
God does...

Fire in the snowYou were there when I needed you the most,
just for you to disappear into the night like a vengeful ghost.
The texts you sent broke my heart,
cause deep down I never wanted us to part.
My biggest Fear,
was for you to disappear,
and for you to pass from sight like fire in the snow.
I...

The Man Who Held His World In His HandsMaybe love is forever
Or at least long enough
Maybe devotion is definite
Or will at least last a lifetime
Maybe you can have everything in the palm of your hand
Because I once saw a man
With his world in his hands
Every Sunday at 8:30 am sharp
The golden hour of the morning
When the sun is warming
Not yet burning
When the day...

BetrayalThe one I would've taken a bullet for
Was the one behind the trigger
But here's the thing about betrayal
It never comes from your enemies
And what's even sadder is
I don't blame you for hurting me
I blame myself for thinking you wouldn't
I trusted you
But I know your words and promises meant nothing
Because your actions spoke the truth
I...

My BreathMy Breath
Each time I inhale,
I feel God's touch even in sorrow.
I know I'm not an angel,
But in spirit, God gave me a halo.
I don't need fancy words to pray —
Just the depth of breath I take.
He listens in silence,
Even when I break.
Storms at sea, drowning the fire in me,
Yet in my breath...

If life was a bookIf life was a book,
Then I would have never picked it up.
I would have never kept reading.
I would’ve burnt the book the second I had the chance.
It’s like a book you know gets bad, but you can’t help but read on.
It’s a book, it’s meant to be read.
It’s life, it has to be lived.
If life...

ProjectingI am a projection,
An Idea through connection,
A physical perception.
Since inception,
Part of the Sources collection.
I can feel the attention,
The affection in my reality,
A reflection of its love for me.
I am able to see,
The character I came to be.
A heightened sensitivity,
Aware of how you feel.
You're not...
