A Heart Set Ablaze

I love You, Lord.
Let my heart burn for You, let my soul cling to You.
May I love You with all that I am, with nothing held back.
Let no logic, no argument, no worldly wisdom steal me away.
God, may I never be too smart for my own salvation,
never too wise to be blind,
never too proud to

Unwavering roots

Today, I stand before you, not as a mere poet, but as a vessel—a storyteller weaving threads of faith, doubt, and redemption.
Picture an ancient olive tree, gnarled and weathered, its roots gripping the rocky soil. Faith, my friends, is like those roots—an unseen force that sustains us through storms.Hebrews 11:1:'Now faith is the assurance of

Romancing the Silver Screen

Romancing the silver screen
Setting a million hearts ablaze
Through amorous dreams
Of actors lost in
Love, desire and longing
A make-believe that entertains
Takes us on flights of fantasy 
With a clap of the clapperboard
A professional obligation begins
That ends with wrapping up the scene.

Xylem Ablaze

He climbed atop
an oak on fire
Its sap transformed  
by flames concealed  

Each branch he passed
a year he traded
For what’s unseen
— by heat congealed

(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)

i’m a gas leak
in your wood house
bound to go up in flames
becoming too weak
with you a circus mouse
layers of too many games

August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born.
The odd uneven time—Sylvia Plath

A New Frame of Faith

We're moving into a new frame of faith,
Into a future that's yet to unfold,
A new pace of faith we embrace,
Leaving behind what we cannot hold.

Seasons change, we can’t be the same,
On our path, a divine meeting awaits,
In God's presence, we find our aim,
And our hearts, He gently reforms.

He's the great I AM we can trust,
Our

Soul Ablaze

The dark hour 
of pre-dawn
solitude.

Air is thick
with solemn
quietude.

Soul ablaze
with vibes of 
sacred chant.

Heart set ablaze, returning your gaze
Conveyance of want and desire
Beating in time with yours fit in rhyme
Blood coursing through, set afire
With passion unbridled, the chapter untitled
Pulse racing, breath taking thought
Yearning for you as I always do
Your touch and embrace have I sought

Set my mind ablaze.
Settling me down in this maze.
See everything now,
Even the very same things
Which people long to forget.

The Sea and the Sand

The way you cry so easily makes me angry in ways I do not understand. 
Im in the right and you’re on the wrong
So how do your eyes get to be sea and mine still feel like sand?.
You sit in the dark crying with your head in your hands
And I stand in my own anger

Premium MemberGreek Mythologys Medusa

A Greek mythological classical character chosen,
Medusa with her snake hair and stone stare, a frozen
Look turning people to stone, originally a vision of beauty,
A woman of erotic desire, who inflicted unimaginable cruelty,
Her destiny to become an unapproachable monster,
Many attempted to kill her, heroes and many a mobster,
Her punishment, all because Poseidon willfully raped her
Bringing about
