in my dream he watches and I feel his desire
his need and I fear it, yet something lures me 
I sense him in my dark room and feel confusion
it overwhelms me, I can hear his breathing close

he whispers my name, it comes violently like thunder

Did you ever go hunting bear he asked
When you were traveling in the North West
No, I never went hunting bear,
Before I went, I always got dressed

Were you sexually active with the defendant
The lawyer asked the woman with the long blonde hair
She said no, your honor...

Wasted days
Wandering through life’s maze
Trying to sort the truth from the lies

I call out, but it seems nobody hears my cries
With each futile attempt, something inside me dies
Skies overhead are filled with thunder

What was my worst blunder?
I wonder

To heaven I gaze
Lord, help me find contentment
In...

Is love worth chasing? Yes.
Do I think that life is depressing?

I walk slow
Through the forest
Alone 
Inside my mind
Where I am looking 
For answers
Sometimes
I find them 
Sometimes
I find glue
Stuck in thoughts
That circle around 
I step off the pathway
Wait
A new path opens

I’m an old man, though not as old 
	as I was ten years ago 
        when I thought I would be dead by now; 
	that was hypochondria talking.
	 
	I have a friend, my best friend, 
	who's somewhat older...

A debris  engulfs this mind
when a chuckle, a pirouette, a dream
ransacks  wired thoughts--
and for once, I am a shrill :
Though  weight presses on  hardened back,
images  dig   dig through shovels of the past
to unearth replays from a year ago--

God answers
a Spaniard, a Moor
men who seek Him in prayers 
the Bible makes it clear, in many layers 

he father of the original bearer 
O friar, O my brother

I fell in love with him the way
A mother falls for her newborn
Hard, fast and without any inhibitions
Loving completely without conditions
With a love that is alive and essential

Love like this doesn’t come around but once
It happens that I found him in my same town
Alive and...

Why do people choose sides,
Determined by the colour of their skin?
Why if 2 people of the same sex are together,
Makes it wrong and a sin.

Why does that man beat his wife,
Even when she's already black and blue.
Why has that childs innocence been stolen,
From being molested...

He lifts the clouds surrounding souls
Who feel the grief, the heavy doubts
Shadowing faith and darkening grace

He breathes a song through the hearts
Who long for the joy that comes to life
When giving from the tune of His love

He silences the hues of melancholy
Night that falls, thick...

I have all the answers for myself.
I know what I need to do, and how I should do it.
My soul speaks to me with absolute conviction.

No, I am sorry. I cannot
give you any of your answers.
If I did, they would be 
my answers, pretending
to know...

To take the hero's journey, I left the ordinary world. 

Now my heart is wildly pounding because the wolf is at my door.
That tireless executioner craves the very blood therein my veins,
but I set out to defeat it, so I guess I can’t complain.

The wolf...
