Upon a half-revealed shoulder.
A vibrancy, intrinsic to a reemerging 
Enforcement of the strengthening light, 
In its deliberate and unconcerned   ...

As a heart-wrenched spirit of truth caresses your comrades
They are perturbed as you are by the magnificent light,
To challenge your heart, is to render the fight…”

High-mindedness, disobedience, lover of self, 
GOD LOVES ME

I put family,...

Complaining, not loving...

How irritated you are by the questions that I ask, 
Telling me I am a nescience	
Talking to me is a task
How easy it is to stir up contentions
How hard to soften the grudge
Telling me that...

I adore you and will always love you, my dove

After so many wacky discussions
After so many funny contentions
After so...

You come across in such dismay
And in the daunting of a new brilliant day
So the sun shines the clouds are now out of the way
It's a dawning falling falling...

The light is low but the music loud,
blaring from fiddles and steel guitars.
The bar is filled with a moderate crowd,
could be anywhere, but here they are,
drinking and two-stepping in this bar.
But the sight of them...

Today I’m a little lonely but it hasn’t been that long.
I’ve had a couple urges but nothing major;

And the fullness of the hope that I desire is still deferred.
So shall I say I am not sick?
I have been beaten...

Tell us of folks with conscience clear on terror; of trusted neo

May it marinate in their minds; peace and equality are as grated rind
with scent of...

There’s no spirituality in religion
as there’s no religion in spirituality,
One is religiously unspiritual
The other, spiritually unreligious!

The gods of man’s many religions
are not the God of spirituality, 
One is the fallacy of the mind
The other
is the...

My thoughts, not like what can be written on paper -
A paper so thin that you can see through,
onion paper, yes,

they are just empty words, like yours
or others that resemble someone...

Occured, Endured and Reassured

Body was born and will end up being old
And about all of life there is a story told
About existence of each desire and goal
Arrival of each one as it starts to unfold.

Mr. Telephone man, I got some questions to run past you
Is it the phone the line or is this cold dime just that coo.
Honey’s a spit’n image of the woman in my contentions.

And how many dreams went buried with us
No one shall ever know.

Created by men who sit behind polished wood desks
We strangers met in unnamed places
Where we slew...

Like childhood's quest, interim's speed
of modesty, the innocence seed
is muddled by contentions need
to dominate, and then recede!

So is the heart, in love's replay

salient smile scrunching
punctured physiognomy pulsing
voluptuous chin vying
over mystic memory
with callous contentions
seeped in stupefaction

rusty rubberneck moaning
airy attention fostering
damped dog downbeat

nocturnal ends neighboring
felon results rustling
saucy rebellion smirking

Her dad disembarked;
