wind always knows 
it limitation
as it writes its swirling
scripts upon threadbare roof.
lamentations for the
fields of empty prairies
as the dry leaves rustle
in strings of grass… 

i do not know
my boundaries
the geographical shapes
of my darkness
for life
has been left empty
with only a puppy
of narrowness
to feed
scraps of plain verse...

In anger, I scream at the wall.
In pain, onto my pillow I fall.
I take it out on my bed,
punching, my face turns red.

"nobody will see if I make the cut there."

O For if you faithfully seek after Him, you shall find Him. ...

Wind whispered and chilled my soul
Said it was time to go
Over the great divide
Back to where my fathers abide

Where souls wait for those who come
To where time begun
Wind whispered and we fly
Back to where my fathers abide

To the land of wind and shadow
Wind whispered it...

Have you held an awareness deep inside
Gripping emptiness you managed to hide
Emotions spinning like a carnival ride
But to giving in you would never abide
Life can hit us hard
Time will never stop
Watch for every step
Prepare for any drop
Disregard negativity
Invite risky chances
Be unlike the cliché
Tempt second glances...

For there abide beef, pork and chicken
and the greatest of these is bacon
hot sizzling crispy to the tongue
satiating succulently scrumptious bacon.

For bacon curries no favor
plays the field tempts the stoic and saintly
slides into gustatorial beds
romps with tomato and lettuce
hangs out with eggs, hard boiled and...

When I was dewy-eyed I dreamt of love,
of a kind of love fit for a virgin
for whom romance betrays no vice or sin--
or for God to curse and speak evil of.  
But I, rebuked and reviled as from above 
by Providence, lost as Misfortunes...

When I was dewy-eyed I longed for sex,
a kind of sex fit for a male virgin
who lusts for the head of a fair maiden
regardless of what may then transpire next;
but my quest for this sex became a hex
and so I bedded a rough whore in...

JEKYLL-AND- HYDE ABIDE

smiling my charmed smile targeting the façade of
obligatory expectations to those who would care
to see the hidden agenda of a perfect mime muse
speaking my learned lingo directly into hearts of
stone   softening slur and lies they strive to deny

A GLORIOUS WORK

A glorious work shall be done
Thru my blessed Lord.
A wondrous work within my soul,
A work beyond reward.

Not I shall do this work, I know.
‘Tis in His power alone.
Yet, when I give myself to Him
Through me His love is shown.

Oh, do this glorious work...

There is a Place where mortal man is enclosed by the divine
Where weak frame is suffused with power 
Where the heart burns with passion, 
a deep hunger induced
A compelling drive, 
a Yearning that beggar’s description
The beckoning of the soul 
To fulfil mandate in time, 

There...
