Where the Cleaner Never Passes Through the Door

Locked safely in a corner of my mind
Where the cleaner never passes through the door
A room I enter now and then to find
A thought that will, my innocence restore

Not a cobweb or a speck of dust
No disorder where...

    Bring me a dream from the depth of your eyes,
          Let me drown in those hidden ecstasies,
    Fling a sunbeam from the cool sleet of ice,

You sit and stare
upon your dish,
no strength to bear
even as I wish.

For you to live
forever strong
were mine to give
your life prolong.

But being neither 
here nor there
Death comes hither
So be prepared.

Two spirits of passions
From ever separating worlds 

Watching and hoping with intensity

Drifting on winds of nowhere
Tracings of comfort and familiarity

Fearing the change that arrives with risk

Ignoring pangs in exchanges of nothings
Yet there exists a sweet fervor between them

That unyielding thirst of eternal desiccation

Two souls of...

tiny hands, small feet
chuckling little laughs
I can't have a seat
burning in my calves
when is my retreat?

Messes all day
overthrown by smiles
child lead the way
track them for miles

one small step
turns to leaps
where's time kept?

not here...
not there...

WHERE?...

It was early morning when I heard the thunder roll,
As I looked out my window I saw pouring rain,
It was coming down in buckets it wasn't fit for anything,
People were running to find shelter from the storm,
It was another dismal day without sunshine again.

Amid the...

As Time Passes 

Today a swift breath
of wind slapped my cheeks
leaving a tingling chill.

The sky’s face grew gloomy
shedding crocodile tears
falling like water rocks.

Dormant by passing time
flower buds and seeds
sought storage shelters
in terrestrial cabins.

Powerless
we sit by the window
contemplating the new arrival....

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” 

Eventually time passes...
Sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly, the truth of the matter is this...
I carry vague recollections of words spoken...

Peace That Passes All Understanding 

As a Christian you first come to the Lord for salvation
 Then after that point you begin the walk of sancification
 It's a process that you learn from the master over time
 We forge our way to get in the...

Sometime I can’t see past the day.
Many times I get in my own way.
Thoughts swirl, then land on the page,
Just like a beast released from a cage.

The sun rises as I thought it would.
The light shines down, just like it should.
I hear a voice and...
