Death Blows a Flamed Horn
In a chariot of fire in the sun
blew a pale horse and pale rider’s last breath,
and on your grave sings a boding raven
in the shadows of the valley of death.
Where no graven image rise from its bones,
only a cold wormwood wind on death row
pipes through the rushes beyond the

Repossessed from a gypsy, I'd be willing to bet...

The gush of wildness’ flow
When come nightfall, hands lift
To reach flamed moon aglow,
Like vignette of night’s show...
And tasting summer’s blaze
Heated sighs

Hands of Flamed Truth

Through outstretched morning, words duly convey
a wail of inked tears that stain crime's error.

In Flamed Within---Tis a Kiss-Of Light
As went to church today
I heard you say...
As tears ran down your face
I am going to turn from… my ways
I am going to commit myself to Christ
For His ways... Are Truly the better ways
As I seen... within thee
A glow.. tis within thy eyes showed
Many around... could see...
As Music played... Songs..
Blissful moments
Sparkling.. Arise... within..
Moment
