The Stalker's Still Life Stare
The rose won’t pose, won't stay its will,
It knows it can’t be forced to stay still.
It sneaks movements between brush strokes,
Breaking free of the painter's staring yokes.
The lemon makes faces with bitter pride,
It hides its shyness with a snide slide.
Each subject plays a veiled charade,
As each freeze-frame is displayed.
The painter grabs what time would spill,

Of What Is Love's Stake
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...

Living for the RemnantsOnly 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...

The sun sinks low, the shadows grow,
No moon is out up high,
A chilling breeze begins to blow,
With stars up in the sky;
I wearily wade my way in...

The Holy WholeThe Holy Whole
Bent To Know Will
Loving Laughs Limit-Less
All Is The Rest, Left Unknown.
Sad For Salvation
Partial To Changing…
How Can't You? No. We’re Alone?
Endlessness Effortless En'ternity Expressing
Motherly Nurtured By Life's Blithe Soul
Each Witnessed Bleeding Nor In-Tended Blessing
Robs Our Connection To The Whole Holy Role.

I guess I'm sorry thoughIt's been a year now
And I'm still hooked up
With the one who'll never know
But let's cross this small ramp
Truth be told
I never liked you
Others might say I'm quite cold
But I was trying something new
I guess I'm sorry though
As you where there so I called you a distraction
Pull me out of the...

Darkness FallsNo war of nations ever won
No reservations in the sun
From whence we came, too soon returned
Our withered corpse or ashes burned
No heaven for the chosen ones
No seven brides for seven sons
Ask if it's right when conscience calls
Bask in the light fore darkness falls...

Without youI made it so easy for you
I never let you wonder if I loved you but
here we go again
Another man who takes my love as a weakness
I did everything you wanted me to
You played me like a fool
I have to admit I allowed you too
You had me right next to you...

A Stranger's PrayerSilly wisps of her raven hair flutter
In the winds of the long-short corridor of summer;
They snivel with the whims of cosseted sots,
Sinking in the futile harmony of winking beasts.
Pretty whiskers, soft with the ague of age, and lean
From frazzled grey.
A halo of white cotton crowns her fine dome, revealing little.
She paints the inky images of...

Made for thisI want slow mornings,
bread rising in the oven,
little feet padding across the floor,
a Bible open beside my coffee.
I want to home school my children
at the kitchen table with crayons and scripture,
to teach them about fractions
and forgiveness in the same breath,
to let wonder lead the way.
I want to be the wife who lights candles at dinner,
who...
