It’s pumping…
What’s pumping?
It feels like it’s exploding.
Why?
How?
Nothing galvanizes me anymore.
The atmosphere is calm,
conducive
but not in my mind,
where thoughts sprint like fugitives,
and I cage them behind a silent smile.
I hide under the pretense of joy,
while the weight crushes me slowly.
Night comes too fast,
and the day… it stops smiling.
I keep trying my best,
clinging to the fragile hope
that one day I’ll see the light
the light they swear waits
at the end of the tunnel.
But is there even a tunnel?
I’m not sure anymore.
Perhaps it’s just darkness
disguised as a promise.
Still… I’m hopeful.
If not today,
then maybe tomorrow will be better
for me,
and for you.
But sometimes I remember
it’s all in my mind.
Just thoughts…
spilling out,
loud enough to drown me.

Candescent blossoms drape the earth's soft merchandise,
A carpet of ombre leaves flutters in the breeze,
Dewdrops transform into halos of light,
Portraying a catharsis in twilight's tender tweaks.
Surreal galaxies, solemn yet sumptuous,
Pirouetting capriciously 'round the eternal flame,
Shadows of eclipse waltzing across the magenta canopy,
While stardust settles gently on autumn leaves.
A meteorite galvanizes planet's core,
Fragmented particles, like glaciers, drifting slow,
Questioning the purpose of stardust's sojourn—
As semantics spiral into the autumn night.

Punctures the mind with thorns of Truth,
draws forth an inferno from a smoldering ember.
Erupts a Kingdom from a mustard seed
embraces abandonment upon its knees.
Slices open your heart, reorients Truth,
galvanizes purpose and awakens identity.
It pierces your hands, straightens your feet
engulfs your will, takes up its Cross.
All so God may...
Re-knit your soul in the Image of Glory and
Torch your life with the Light of Christ.

My bubbly son
do you know that
you are not just a son to me
you dwell
in every beat of my heart
you are vital breath of my life
that always inspires me
to be a loving Dad
you are my soul music
that stimulates my confidence
you are my heartbeat
that galvanizes me to enjoy
every moment of life
you are my lovely eyes
through which
I can imagine my dreams
that fortifies my will power
you are my all strength
that empowers me to confront
failures in life and
teach me that
difficult roads often lead to
beautiful destinations
and most of all
you are the reason
for my existence

I am light dawned on an eternity,
Promising tomorrows, giving today
A traversable feeling growling into conviction—
I am the fuel for the flame,
A rock for the lame
Where do I find home in which to land?
Do I seek refuge, or do I seek danger?
Am I vulnerable in my strengths?
Am I solicitous in my aims?
Do I laugh?
Do I cry?
I am in the air you inhale, frequently skimming your ground,
Sometimes I move deafeningly—
And at times I float without a sound
I have seen the change in your eyes,
The moment you grew into a man
The moment you sobbed away sin
And exposed the evil hand
I am light dawned on an eternity,
Promising tomorrows, giving today
But who am I?
Why do you hear me, when others vow I am myth?
Why do you listen, when the thunders threaten to deafen you?
Why do you doubt, when you have seen my wonders eye to eye?
When you have felt my hand on your lips,
Quieting your writhing, screaming soul?
Who am I?
I am the revealer,
In hope I am your chief
The spark in the dark that galvanizes you
The smoke in the air that sooths you
Forever and always,
I am the best of your heart,
And I am free with fires impermeable!
