Your love is like a rainbow that arches through the skies, It gives my life a purpose and answers to my why’s. Like God’s promise throughout eternity, it’s your promise just to me. That with God’s help there’s no limits, and with your love I can be free. Stick with me my rainbow, and just you wait and see. I’ll...

Love walks away... Day-in day-out on what heart wants, Leading astray... What heart needs, hurting what lust flaunts Against heart's will; Tomorrow shall find out the best, Lust don't run still To sustain beast; a trying test That locks up joy, Of unrest gauge- swinging heart's eyes Like a playboy, Whose smartness can't hang up late sighs Wandering near love, Enough to beat tricks; lust employs. Quest seems a...

Only God and prayer can heal it: The dreadful wound your loss has made. Find thankfulness and never quit; Embrace what you have left today. When melancholy cords arise Cast dissonance far, far away Let gratefulness revive your eyes; Embrace what you have left today. If you still have someone to love And a place where a bed is made You have more than enough...

IN THE EQUINOX OF CHANGE It seems like the spring I waited for has betrayed me; Leaving a verisimilitude Of the season, Due to the vicissitudes Sown in today’s Rogue political climate:- However, it’s a rooted reality, That changes happen, whether We believe they do, or do not: The day that’s coming, Will become today, And this today, Will become yesterday:- Thus, in the labors of love, In the...

Through dusk’s shadows they soar, flickering evening lights, flies flashing cold fire, bugs unleashing lightning, micro-luminescent, miniscule miracles. Though fainter than candles, clustered firefly flocks flash brighter than stars in summer night skies, sparking joyous wonder, fluttering till sunrise. In our darkened world, can we shine like them, glimmering in the gloom, gifting goodness and hope for all those who grieve until a new dawn? (First published in Feed the Holy, 19 March...

hardship chiseled in his features silence laden by a troubled past his thoughts kept to himself behind an invisible wall of insulation while his face speaks to me in whispers of a history muddled with shady details eyes reveal that regrets he's had a few and dreams now seem out of reach yet there's a part of him that refuses to give up AP:...

I’m the Swarovski pearl of an origami dream, sailing amidst superficial salt, soaked in sinister sparks, floating like deceptive debris and artificial aquamarines. As the sea weeps luminous lies, the truth rests in stars above, mirroring phrases written on tales of the island that seized the light within the heart of the ocean, while you and I remain anchored to the bleached reefs, where corals grieve in chromatic...

Ships sink to bottom in billowing sea; "It's in that number," apparent to some; Walking the coast, "I'm no widow," said she; Either await or admit it won't come. How many years did she wait for that ship? Youthful and vibrant to aged and gray; How many courses of life she let slip, Married to breakers that crash on the quay. Surely, we...

Jewels rolled down your shirt— for a moment, your shoulder turned to rain. We lifted our eyes to that infinite blue and just as swiftly, twilight fell again: another star kindled beyond the sky’s edge. I’d fold a thousand cranes for you, or chase a million scattered stars. What fate is this, where light refuses to dim? Where debts of love lie quietly...

Life is so much sunnier now just knew it would be somehow After decades of delay when inertia held sway My mental stones gathering moss… I at last pulled the plug on my addictive a.m. drug: No more newspaper...

Inspired by "Far Away" A song by Breaking Benjamin (featuring Scooter Ward) ........................................................ Souls grope for lost hopes within to spark the heart, When the last beat still lies cold, dead on the street, It is then love fades–blood split right from the start— The truth of war no soul can come close to cheat. Soil we'll still become, yet our...

THE WAKE WITHOUT VIGIL Time longer than rope Chokes hearts dangling In the reality of struggle:- Grieving mothers and widows Veil their grief in sagging bosoms As they wail in excruciating silence:- Fragments of men, void of hope, View and count communal graves Swelling with dirt burying the dead:- (Buried are “The Wretched Of...

Calmness bids me as grief strives to cease Enabling sincere thanksgiving-prevalence Midst gloom, hiding serenely still while Exemplifying grace under pressure... yet Tears cannot anymore control their fall Exposing prayer of my heart for closure Recognizing heaven's victory over death* since Yon the grave is eternal bliss with the Source of life. *1 Corinthians 15:55-57 O death, where is thy sting? O grave,...

Sometimes life is dyed black. All you see are blackness Forgotten hope to look for. The day seems to be night, Sadness and emptiness in the heart. But life is the most wonderful gift. And even in the darkest night, There always light that guides our way....
