Ledger of Love: PART II

Ledger of Love

In the shadows of the Victorian night,
Where candles flicker with amorous light,
A forbidden love fiercely burns,
In a pounding heart, passion yearns.

Amidst the lace and satin array,
Where masks conceal bygone dismay,
A dance of desire,...

Just Tears

Tears, softly falling,
Grieving for the dreams,
Beyond knowing,
Dreams, silent, growing,
Within the spirit,
Where Jesus love is flowing,
In frequent gestures,
Wise and everlasting,
Stirring the light that lives,
Because His love restores,
His grace, in a moment,
Brings more joy than a heart,
Can...

Chaos Theory

"Chaos Theory"



The Message is sent on a breeze
Fire eats the wounds of a Mother

Her skin blisters
cracks and peels 

Her children inhale a different pollen
Drones bark messengers like Bowie's Diamond Dogs

Tables now turn
machines are giving orders...

Blood Bath

Finally my blood began to coagulate
a graceful gel, gently thickened,
so – whatever I might feel, the settling of the wound,
has begun…

in sensitive silences, the shadows echo the fear,
felt by a heart who knows the starkness,...

Odyssey From Africa 13b

Ch. 13 b (The whale, cont.)

Now the sardine hunt developed 
As they glimpsed beneath the surface 
Flashing rays of gold and silver
Of the dolphins and the swordfish 
 
That converged with blue-fin tuna
To the swarming sardine banquet 
Then not fifty...

Dark is the Night

Dark is the night,
But, it is there that I found the quiet,
Still, cool and gentle,
Feeling so sentimental,
Inviting me to breathe in…
The music of hope and peace,
The whisper of grace that agrees…
This night is a journey...

Crown of Sonnets - Love

I heard so long before, crying from fields where blow

it 'round the lonely stones, hair-waving gentleness.

Were it a poison o, still I would ride its breeze,

trailing so finely forgetting resentfulness.

How can it worry, when ne’r...

Reflections and Promises

Silence swells the whispers
Snow, breathless… caressing the earth
Gentling the scene in echoes 
Serenity dancing in flurries, a blizzard
Whirling and twirling, delicious
Praises, psalms, prayers
Winter’s faded march through 
A mind who believes in joy, the knowing
Promising hope...

Drenched of Hell's Insanities

Drenched of hell’s insanities 



Sending chills this tortured spine, 
as aches precede the worded fiction
Sorted truth does rest sublime 
beneath the light of benediction
Broken dreams of compass flair, 
directions cast a blinded waning
Trusted roots abridge...

Time Writes in Rhythms of Light




there were times when I did not understand him
times when I fought with my heart, to remember
time would not forget the days that were so grim

it wouldn’t be that long, just before December
he would tell...

Love Is

Love is torturous
Love is wise
Love is having no rhyme or reason and is never in disguise

Love is cruel
Love is true
Love is everything we've been put through

Love is hot 
Love is cold
Love is the reason I...

A Bio I Suppose

This is not a poem. This is a quick little rambling about myself and what I do. 
I'm not particularly sure if what I write is "poetry" perse. 
I suppose I'd consider it a release...

Star Dust or Love’s Just



Written by His hand, stars strewn in coal black skies
anywhere I look, glowing in bleakest nights
the sound of grace poured out beneath heaven’s cries
silencing the wind with music from these gentle lights

written by His hand,...

THE EDGE

We live in a country…a world…where many of us are wedged
Between what we perceive as good on one side…evil on the other…
With us standing on the edge.

Where our world which should be simple…has become too...

Desperate Age

this is a stained and desperate age
people hurrying from one high to another
leaking hope, re-filling with rage
fragmented families replaced with another

filling the streets with the pains of our life
lost in the crowds of insincere strangers

Winter, winter how we feel your icy touch

Self-imprisoned

In this abyss, where senses fade,
A labyrinth of fears, eyes stick to spade
A choice self-made, a soul betrayed,
In pale moonlight, a tearful price is paid 

Man without a shrine, longing for time,
A barren altar, with...

Perditions Parade....

Glitter glue laced ticker tape....

Of colourful confetti covering such sight

More and more, their eyes dipped in tars

Infectious quills, beneath these softened feathers

Penetrating, their own fatalities cryptograms....

As they aimlessly blend a colludeds pretentious purpose?

Bending this times...

In Your Bad Books

The other day, for a brief moment
I recalled my good old times,
Where the bleakest of the panorama
And an eeyorish of the memories,
Invaded a hopeless hypocrite
As the strength faded away,
Faking the funk with brightest of looks,
It...

Hope

Hope
I care not for the odds
Spoken by sooth sayer voices
They are blinded by statistics 
For a seemingly sure concept
Though a bleakness dampens 
Every fainting ray of light
There exist an unexplainable God 
Characteristic of sensitivity
Endowed to...

Silent Legacy

Breathing softly in my bed,
Visions of sugarplums, in my head.
Shadows hovering in the night,
Soul awakens, to take flight.
But, I won't scream.
Told not to scream.

Rough hands groping below my head,
Rough lips seeking to be fed.
No one...

At My Weakest

I'll let you near me
When I'm at my weakest
I'll let you near mew
When life's at its most bleakest
Because if you are to love me
You need to see me at my lowest
See if you can handle...
