He spent the night seeking the smoke of the lucky
for the things once known:
the warm bed, the place to shower, the cup of hot coffee
and the things unknown.
He wandered deeper into the city where the burdens get heavy.
He found himself on the empty streets that...

God who pardons sin
I  knock , ask,  and  you  answered.
My sins are  many

Sins  are a  revolt
against you and I desire
to accept Your will

I humbly  come for
absolution  of  my  sins
I have committed

let your glory fill...

And every night, I lay awake
I find the conclusion
And every night, it just stays the same
I dream of absolution

In the night-light, do you see what you dream?
All your troubles; are they all what they seem?
Look around you, then you may realize
All the preachers, all with...

all my cares and carelessness
               penned upon a paper plea

A phantom seeps howls cracks
these limestone walls
til fragments tremble
and the old cistern bows, finally.

Born of dust and parched labor,
drought taunts edgy mouths
dancing chants nightly
and spirits awaken, finally.

A trickle of liquid
extends over lessons marked 
by seeds caressed in earth
and blossoms, finally.

Blessings charm bellies 
now growing in...

My bones will not whiten in the sun,
they will blacken with your heart.
I take new form,
reborn.

Your heart beats in reverse,
this
list
is
endless.

You speak of sanctuary,
as if it were yours to give....

Your skin softer than a ripe pear,
allow me to just take a bite;
It could turn into a wild night 
I’m fascinated by your glare;

 Lost, angry, and into bloodshed 
I sense that you want a way out;
A vampire with a silent shout 
seduced you were...

she deprives herself
of her daily bread
she turns off
the phones

these things she tries to do
every Wednesday
and ....shall we say.......
she tries to forget the
kisses.....

and she tries to 
forget  how she 
once thought
Wednesday 
could help her
steal for-ever.

In a moment, yes a moment, I want you to close your eyes….
Though first, you must breathe deeply, in and out, slowly
Taking in the scent of this moment…let the cool air drink you
Rest your jaw; loosen its tension, and roll your shoulders gently, allowing them...

Stopped by Seven Eleven to find absolution...
maybe some triple chocolate Häagen-Dazs'
slice of heaven., a little peace; redemption.  

A lanky guy dressed in jeans and a smile,
one welcomed in a greeting...
walked the parking lot selling flowers..
wrapped in a clear shielded bouquet.,
set his sights on me.

Wonder...

Something happens when we accept our own defeat
There's confusion and silence ego trip wakens from sleep
Without knowing we abandon our plan to continue
Justifiably argued grandiose our opinions 
Even though there's a part clinging on to the truth
Snuffed with malice deniably wrapped in reproof
We ignore it...

There were days when I looked back
And could only see… pain, desperation, darkness
Following me from the ancient feelings
The past where I was no longer present
A place of pain, abuse, so destructive

There were those days when I couldn’t see
Any way around the past, my history
Prevented me...
