To Avoid Carnal Knowledge, Daphne Turns into an Oak
What’s happening is clearly understood.
Apollo has one hand around her waist,
one predator, one quarry, interlaced.
He’s coming up behind her

Carnal Scent Rondelet
Flowers and sex,
they bloom with natural instinct;
Flowers and sex,
pops of passion come off complex;
Perfume delicately distinct
with carnal scent forever inked;
Flowers and sex.

The Gift of Recovery
Who knows what the afterlife brings
Maybe it will unfold like sweetest dreams
Where the carnal cons of worldly existing
Brings the green gift of recovery
We loose our fleshly body as such
And gain a fuchsia freedom of so much
Perhaps we glide on colorful rainbows
Just before we meet with other souls
No body means no illness no pain
So

Lamenting Missed Rolls in the Hay
Upon well-worn barstools, tales two codgers tell,
Deep in drink, their stories swell.
Reflecting how the eons have flown,
Strengths once had, now overthrown.
"Ah, beauties chased, both bright and keen,
Yet in our brews, our sighs unseen,"
One muses, his gaze alight with jest,
"Great tales spun ‘bout adventurous quests."
Yet as dusk deepens into night,
Their bawdy laments take flight,
For now, as

Bequest the Kingdom of God,
The soul suffer that.

Carnal
I'll burn like scotch at the back of your throat,
A smoldering ember, a fire that's remote.
But amidst the flames, I'll taste as sweet as honey,
An intoxicating elixir, a craving hard to deny.
An aphrodisiac, I'll be, a desire you can't suppress,
Drawing you in, a captivating caress.
You'll yearn for more, unable to get enough,
Lost in the sensations,

Song of Victory Over the Flesh: Vol 1, Chapter 1
"Oh, Mr Flesh! Thou art a skilled warrior!
Only the truly truthful and broken soul can discern thy arts."
"Oh, thou most cunning! Cancerous entity!
To whom it is given to escape thee, is accounted most fortunate!"
"Oh pleasant plague! Sweetly, deadly poison!
Many great and mighty, fallen to thy bewitching wiles!"
"Oh malignant tumor! Subtlety at its finest!
Thy cunningly obscure

Man Causes His Own Suffering
Man suffers in life
because he takes
so seriously, what
the gods created
for fun.
He's entangled in
his own carnal desires,
which keeps him in bondage,
unable to progress his soul.
Life is a merry go round
and earth is the playground.
Where man can be amused by
his carnal desires, achievements,
enjoyment, social status
and his ego.
Man became a lover
and slave to these

her body lines,
the smooth curves,
turments my words,
hunts my dreams,
disturbs my blood,
and puts my body on fire,
makes me the slave
of my own desire.

Blind and Bound
For the life of me, and others all
How did people, heed that call?
Who cry; that faith in Christ if blind?
Would hamper freedom/choice of mind.'
Yet sonorous blasts on death and gloom
Were watched piecemeal in every room
So many put such, faith in flesh '
To me a challenge; although I'm blest '
Lord thank you for the others here

Carnal Flame
I oft wonder about thee
the flame that once shone bright
into mine life
Have thou been extinguished
by all the lies
spread by deviance for all to behold
Or have thy flourished
using deceit and manipulation
to fuel forward
Nary a thought
as to the carnage you leave behind
in the hearts of others
Tis I ponder

Trumpeting Their Voices To Space
I
I had big plans to fast and pray: Maundy Thursday
More prayer than fasting, while preparing slowly
For the evenings bible study, I a weak disciple
Neighbors played their competing loud music, as usual
Then I paused: discerning a yearning theme in the cacophony

One powerful female tenor seemed to address sky and space
In clarion calls, vagaries and varieties of

Sacred Carnal Custody
Jesus was a patristic carpenter,
a non-nationalistic builder

a nonviolent communicating leader,
a multispirit-natural facilitator,

and red-blooded sensory communion.

Black Sands and Carnal Plans
Nakedness blurs in the rough charcoal smudge
shapes shaded with a roll on the rim of a graphite night
the art of cheating sins stain a seedy portrait on skin
yet basks in the moonbeam’s push into the pulse
