when the ancient goes wildWhen the ancient goes wild
Our hotel in Porto was at the highest point
although we had been promised a room downtown we
didn’t have to walk so far, s then I had paid in advance
across the street from the hotel a big disused water tower
from the time people didn`t bother with showers
every day making us smell like...

Purple Prickly PearSpirits of the woodland deep.
Gather, please, at gate.
Shadow, dark fire, through me seep!
Hummingbirds can hate!
Where the prickly pear was grown?
Deep beneath a lake.
Where the angry god was thrown?
Someone made mistake...
There to build, O pyramid!
Tumble down the step.
Deterrence means getting rid?
Soldiers, step with pep.
Stars above the forest?
From heaven, do ye swing?
Harpsichords, harpy, ne'er rest.
Sight-line, foe to...

How to Make Love to a Didgeridoo XA cello moans through cedar fog,
low notes trembling between her teeth.
Amber bowstrings tighten, vibrating against ribs—
wood groans beneath the weight of sound.
Resin clings to fingertips,
drawn taut over hollow curves.
Each bow stroke sharpens the air,
Splitting migraines into cascading cacophony
The final note—
held breath, a whispering overtone,
unraveled into stillness....

In Your Walk-Through Faith: Who Is Driving You?
Life is the reflection of the road; we will get to follow—
And that will always be more than what meets the eye
Or Seeing Eye to eye, with the eye of the very storm—
It ‘ll make the natural things, to no longer be the norm
And who am I, or you, to ask the same, old, question—
Others—may...

I'll Sleep in the SkyOh abundant child without a care or whim,
Am I broken and beaten because of my sin,
Am I lonely and sickly because of mistakes,
Is your refusal to help me because I'm a fake,
If you close your heart to me this is no lie,
I will trust in God and sleep in the sky,
And you Mrs. Perfect what...

Why Born AgainIt's not what goes in that makes us unclean.
In our heart already there's an evil thing.
Generating negative thoughts, all kinds.
Causing us to do bad things some of the time.
We wonder why some people can be so cold.
It's because we're born with a corrupted soul.
A cruel infection that exist within.
No one is immune, it's name is...

Baby You're a FireworkSudden sound of rushing water
A mighty roaring wind
Carrying a flame of fire
It settled upon me, flowing over me
As a baptism in silent seas
A moment of stillness lasting a lifetime
Filing me with the heady warmth of fine wine
An overwhelming feeling of love and peace
Boiled over from my eyes, dripping salty tears
Then I knew
The earnest search
The...

A PRAYER TO THE DIVINEOh divine creator, this is my prayer to you-
Let the birds fly freely in the sky,
And nobody to stop them and to ask them why,
Let the eggs in their nests get their warmth,
And none or nothing to eat or destroy them when they are away, henceforth.
Let the plants bloom and bring spring,
And colorful butterflies fly...

BarsI drop bars, that break bars, and start fights in dive bars
“Emotio est pons, amor est finis.”
I am the spark between the medulla oblongata
and the thalamus.
The protector of vertebrae,
And the processor behind what I say
Society runs from you, and calls you borderline
But there is a marriage between the two
It’s called, I’m effing fine
The...

A Mother's LoveBlessed is what people call her even her children
Is the way her loved was spread around to those less loved by others
Lifting up each person God Almighty created for His purpose in prayer ????
Loving them no matter how they chose to live their life
I experienced that love of a mother and saw her...

Guts over fearFrom the trenches of the dark underground into the sewers of the slumworld, a place terrified with the pain of fear, gripped from their minds unto their souls, they are afraid of the outside world, afraid that death could be their bane at least there was a sorcerer to tell Merlin what Arthur's bane would...
