Put on hold, until two hearts come closer together.
Face-to-face, breath in breath, fragile as feat...

Back to basics

...Help! There are two of us in here;
one is ego, the other soul.

Mind is the domain of ego
and soul’s abode, our glowing heart...

Prayer Of Spiritual Warfare

...Lord, you have shown me there could possibly be. 
 Unseen Spirits that can be influencing me. 
These spirits can affect, my family members too. 
There’s victory in you, Jesus, so I come to you.

Forever a fight

...In an endless loop of arguments
A game that neither of us ever win
A house built on a sandy foundation
Loose lies must come out in the end.
Knuckles and bloody knuckles
Tears in muddy puddles

One cold grave

...They laugh, like it means something I can't find, 
They pass by me, but I'm left behind. 
I nod, I speak, I play the role,

I remember the warmth of one perfect da...

be silent
not signed about
take the present
it a meaningful moment
at that cornered life
you scram

Diplomacy and the Irresolute Alternative

...without anchor all ships
sail and without passenger
no captain exists to guide
the dispossessed.  Only remains

easy breezy

...how easy can it get
all we need to do
is remain at rest

ego wishes to agitate
deflecting our attention
it’s cravings never abate

Never been good at hiding

...I have never been good at hiding 
At least not from those who truly pay attention

The Gray Pods

In pods, pale and emaciated-
muscles atrophied, 
their eyes behind thick goggles
deflecting stroboscopic lights-

Views From Inside the Scope

...They try to move on those they believe reside
