3rd Degree
We were twelve,
gathered at Daksa Island,
in the Adriatic’s haunted breath.
The sea moaned like a choir of the forgotten,
as shadows clothed themselves in black robes.
In the silence, a blade gleamed—
a knife that whispered, truth is not free.
They placed it before me.
“If you betray the mysteries,” they said,
“this edge will taste your life.”
My thumb was cut—
blood welled

Echo
To me, she is a dream:
A faith, I pray, that never fades;
As a hymn, or symphony:
My amen, weighed in,
Tailor-made;
To love and life,
Should I let go,
Though my heart,
Regards an echo?

Butterflies from Broken Glass
Shattered mirror pieces
in a cold room -
filled with invisible battles
as the heart
searches for warmth
Numb eyes
deepening scratches.
As seconds pass by,
the urge to rest in peace grows,
but own soul refuses to surrender.
A golden light,
from a narrow crack
falling on those broken pieces
reflecting buried dreams,
rising, drifting across the room
like butterflies.
Reborn

The Rose's Worship
The rose, beholding thy bright face, entranced hath grown,
All eye and cheek and ear in worship lost and shown.
Thou stole my heart, O heedless one—I still recall,
Though thou hast forgotten me, I stand and heed love’s call.
’Tis dawn, bring forth that wine jar, bearer, on whose face
Thy beauty's form in painted art hath found its

Patty Master
Flippin patties, fresh and hot,
SpongeBob’s grill is the best spot.
The secret formula, a secret so tight,
Makes the Krabby Patty just right!
Flippin’ fast with perfect skill,
Each patty cooked with extra thrill.
He loves his job, he’s full of cheer,
But he’s messy, and sometimes weird.
With cheese and buns, he’s set to go,
Serving up patties with a big hello!

Racism in the Workplace
Racism in the Workplace**
Racism is a prevalent issue within workplace environments, often manifesting in the interactions among employees. Given that individuals spend a significant portion of their day—typically six to seven hours or more—at work, the interactions with colleagues frequently surpass those with family members. At my facility, which comprises approximately 500 to 600 employees

Luminance for the Leaving
To open your heart
in this predatory world—
is to pour starlights
into hands that may
never intend to stay.
And if they do leave—
as some daemons do—
perhaps the glows you bestow
will illuminate their quiet violence
through every future
abandon.

ANALYSING
We don't know where we're going to
"Heaven or hell"
But we know where we're coming from
We know our roots, our very foundation
We don't know what the future holds for us
But we're not the substance of our circumstances.
We don't know how long
But we know it is certain
Because change occurs anytime
It's not very

Until Then I Will Love You
Verse one:
One day when all the air is gone
When the stars grow where the trees belong
I will still love you
If there comes a day when all is gray
Cause to the moon, all colors ran away
Oh I will still love you
If suddenly pigs really fly
And broken hearts don't make us cry
Don't you worry, I will still

soul forest
within your forest
quartz light from your gallant eyes
surround my ocean
breathing devotions
my thoughts quiver as earthquakes
whispers wishes blush
my soul faints daily
your robust masculine trees
my candle mind melts
wooden bough branches
build stalwart starry cabins
from your midnight pen
wanting fervor waves
carve sculptures within in my sands
mists around your

Psalm 25:1 The Valley of Desolation
In the Valley of Desolation all seemed lost.
Denying self and following Christ has great cost.
He had a plan before He created the world;
His plan complete before the universe unfurled.
His ageless will was He would become fully man
And save His chosen ones through His eternal plan.
Ever, ever will He save those trusting in him.
Never, never will

Vows Ain’t Meant to be Hollow
She stood there in her white dress, boots dusty from the ride,
With a heart as wide as Heaven and her cowboy by her side.
She gave her word before the Lord, with every ounce she had —
To love him through the bitter, and the good, and all the bad.
But storms rolled in like thunder, as they
