(One poet's vision of what being indwelled by Christ's heart might look like)        

What makes me feel loved isn't easy to say, 
And not because the heart of love is blind
I can see the ripples form in my...

Poly-Ticks is Greek for " Plays with Dicks",

It seems we've come up with numerous definitions,
    For life, and what it all means.
From the biological to the philosophical,

Ate a sandwich with a fried-up rat
Coughed up a bit on my welcome mat
Because he did not want to get totally fat...
