Believe At Least

I’ve run out of things to say to you
I who love how language feels 
Cannot see your thoughts to know,
How to ask what you conceal.

Perfection is fine to a point,
An everlasting urge
but I’d never breathe again,
If I did not share our eternal love.

The exquisite princess of maiden joy
Can sacrifice her honor and her name,
By giving

ALEXANDRIA 

I came late to Jesus,
Got cancer before my time,
Watched my husband die,
Found my baby drowned.

What did I do wrong?
Followed His church’s way,
Never missed a Sunday mass,
Confessed my sins religiously.

Refused to hear the call
For contraception—
That was not God’s way.
I made Him a dozen babies.

Why’d he punish me?
My faith wasn’t always strong.
Still, I never strayed,
Took communion

The hill of hope

Hope is a feeling that people spend years believing in, not because it leads them to a place full of flowers,

but because it's the only thing anyone doesn't doubt. Then there is no difference between the lust of achieving and the act of believing in it.

And when that kind of soul grips the handle of

Bound by belief

Some still say repentant combatants can’t change,
Though thought to be tamed, they tread a thin track.
When many men mock them, madden, and malign,
They charge with chained choler, yet sworn they stay still.

Fighting foes find few among people preaching peace,
Before battles, they brood, bound by belief.
For futures frame fates none should tether with tears,
While miscreant multitudes

Premium MemberNaive Faith

Some folks believe, "All things are true."
And darkness can alloy with light
Though sun arise, and skies shine blue
Some folks believe, "All things are true."
To Logos thence they bid adieu
Let now with good the bad unite
Some folks believe, "All things are true."
And darkness can alloy with light

An Outlook: The Supernatural Belief

There once a place
Filled with people from dark side
They were cold and unwilling
Some unaware life has ended

They go here and there
Or perhaps beside you
In front or at your back
Looking at you now

Going to forsaken places
 May lead to a dark path
Not aware of what’ll happen
Hence will be bewitched

I’M RUNNING A GODDAMNED UNIVERSE CUT ME SOME SLACK!!!

I can’t imagine 
how painful it is to 
be God. 

Trying your hardest 
to make a beautiful painting, 
only to have the characters 
you created complain and 
mock the world around 
them. 

Why does God let bad things 
happen to good people? 

Pretty sure you’d walk 
away from the canvas too 
if it spat back

Come On Darlin

For Aunt Carolyn, in memory of Uncle Dennis

They were just teens outside a gift shop door,
He said, "Come on, Darling, let’s go explore."
With a wink and a grin, and her hand in his,
They stepped into life, not knowing how rare love like this is.

From navy bases to state lines they flew,
Boxes unpacked and smiles that

What I've seen

I have seen the country's turmoil as I've traveled across this land and I've walked empty beaches my feet scorched from the sand I've been so cold and hungry that I could barely stand but I knew I'd always make it through because Jesus holds my hand I've seen the hungry children with so much
