Meg and Josh displayed
how their main wants were aligned
though to harm...

to give its taking as weakness,

Guarding with truths, biblically sound
Nurturing faith against doubt-sink
Satisfying spirits upon...

Beyond a woman's heart
Beyond the image of man
(Beyond your wife and father)
That shows you
Who you are and always were
Once upon a time and still

And still
The mirror can be
The surface of the calmest...

Little Girl Of Yesterday

She rises every now and then
though her heart is filled with sorrow.
With memories of way back when
and tears saved for tomorrow.

She thinks about the used to bes,
and dreams that don't come true.

I see Shadows 
The Same as A Shadow that Runs Passes me

What's their agenda?

Bess had a boyfriend
Neal lived in a small town
A long distance from Bess
They met through a friend

Bring yourself close to me,
And let it all go,
The memories  and used to bes,
Now here to show,
Touch my skin,
Have your way,
Life within,
Down to lay,
I’ll hold you back,
And have yours too,
Our path won’t lack,
What others...
