Dead ImaginationNow I don't have any reasons
anymore,
To express something
you never cared
suddenly you made me
feel high
and left me on lows
Stuck in between,
Its same just like before
when we first talked,
Took me long enough
to get everything,
from starting to end,
it was all my imagination
it was all my delusion,
And desperation,
I will admit
it was all my fault
getting it...

Jesus Doesn't Need A Rebrand - Part 02If the message doesn’t have lights,
If the preacher doesn’t rhyme,
If the singer isn’t “branded” enough,
You say it’s not Spirit-filled.
Since when did the Holy Ghost depend on your playlist?
I cry for you.
I cry for the singer drowning in the noise of their gift.
For the preacher who can draw a crowd but can’t discern demons.
For the Christian...

Jesus Doesn't Need A Rebrand - Part 01Let’s stop pretending.
This isn’t evangelism.
This is idolatry in disguise.
You’ve baptized compromise and called it creativity.
You’ve clothed rebellion in relevance,
And made God’s altar a stage for your ego.
How much more of the world must you wear
Before you realize the Gospel is naked truth
Not a costume for cultural approval?
How many times must you flirt with sin
Before you...

The cry of the heartMy heart cries
With no tears and no sounds
But not less sadness and sorrow
Aging, sickness and disabilities come one by one
Happiness and youth comes and goes
Nothing in this world will last
Maybe only love in my heart
Or maybe in your memory...

to have and notTo have, or not to have
Many people are from the outside, beautifully formed
with a mind that can absorb empathy and warm sympathy
but life itself makes us harder around the edges, as it is
It's not possible to live fully, shall we say, without knocking oneself free of cultural norms
Can friendship exist between the classes?...

Hiroshima eighty years since August 6th, 1945Hiroshima – eighty years since August 6th, 1945
About fourteen and a half years
before my birth,
yours truly not even a twinkle
in the eyes of his then
young father and mother
the former born April 9th 1929,
while the latter would be turning ten
that upcoming November 13th
living in destitution
with her three older siblings

a fableA Fable
I was spending an afternoon with a billionaire
On our walk through town, we came to an art salon
on its wall, a painting I liked but could not afford
The billionaire offered to buy it for me, but reserved
The right to take the artwork back should I die
because he is an art collector,
The salon refuses to...

What words can placate
What is it they say to chase demons away?
When scars inside ache, what words can placate?
What meaning is found crawling on ground?
When you feel you’re nothing to see.
When you see what they think of thee!
Barriers form and walls are built to shield a heart from the pain in the mind force fed through aged, outside...

Colours PrimeI live my life through colours prime
through colours, colours, colours prime.
Can change their shades at any time
can change them as I age.
Beginning with the whitest page
the whitest, whitest, whitest page.
My youth was with me at this stage
my youth with colours bright.
The mix back then was blended right
was blended, blended, blended right.
These shades remained within my...

She had been married once or twice and lived among
the rich, that was what happened to air hostesses when
there was a frisson about this job.
Her last husband came from Amsterdam, a doyen of
the fur trade, elegantly dressed, and a walking stick
With a stick, one assumes he was quite elderly.

The SaplingThe winters come much faster now
than once they did in endless days;
The sapling now a roughened bough
which in the wind no longer sways.
Springs interjection disappears
as quickly as the summer sun;
And fall? It counts the passing years
reveals the end has now begun....

Cast to be found and displaced

In inspired to college for they are acknowledged
