I heard the clanging of the gate
As wonder and fear began to reverberate
The more you opened up, I ran in
Neither of us concerned for where we had been
I had never played without terror
You had never experienced relationship without error
I washed myself in the color of your desire
You warmed your icy heart by my constant fire
I loved the endless nights of laughter
Conversations of understanding about what our hearts were after
The light shone with brilliant blue and radiant red
I hearkened and hung on every word you said
.....creek..........crack.....crap
Time rose up and cracked her whip
She raged and roared with, "What is THIS!?!"
I jumped up and ran, I ran faster than wind
She yelled, "You whore...he's mine, you will NEVER have him!"
My heart longed for that place
OH, just to be in your space, touch your hand....your face
But I kept my distance so that time could make me forget
About love and what it felt like when you lit
......my wet wood, that no one else could
.........get near
.........................touch
Time heals NOTHING!
I saw you after a long span of dreary years
I longed, still, in deep sorrow and invisible tears
You seemed happy to those who wanted to believe
But I saw your naked soul, and vowed to never leave
....the hearth of your heart
You may be married to a companion for life
She may even look like a loyal, obedient wife
But she knows you saw eternity in my eyes
That I saw your truth behind the convenient lies
Every man's heart, if mauled by a she bear
Is hidden behind briers, thorns, and tares
To prevent black widow spiders from feasting on flesh
Without pause or time to rest
.....til she wins
What!?!
No matter what matter lies between us
You are safety and rest, my forever home
You broke all of my defenses
To give me the ring of promise, I will never again, be alone.

A fires burnings
Somewhere at night
I walk along
The edge of the wood
I feel transfixed by silence
I see flames leap
Lighting up tree trunks
Then I hear a scream.
I move closer to the forest’s edge
But something forbids me entrance
I hear another scream
It sends shivers down my spine
I go into the wood
Dark tree tops collapse the sky
I feel colder, parched
I see light in front, walk toward it
I see a figure, woman naked
And three other forms
Dragging her into the fire
They hold her there
Her flesh burning
I catch a whiff and vomit
I throw rocks at them
Hoping for her to escape
But she stumbles inside the fire
There is nothing I can do
I run wild, screaming
Away from the fire
Am I next? I wonder.
I hear them calling demons
To hunt me down
I jump over a rock
But I don’t land
Bull horns in my back
The Minotaur routinely
Breaks my spine and throws
Me to the soft earth
Trampling with huge hoof
He crushes my skull.
Focus on His faithfulness,
Especially His past acts.
Respond with your faithfulness,
For disloyalty subtracts.
When lion and lioness
Surround for deadly attacks,
Determine to praise and bless,
For His strength counteracts.
Don't forfeit His loyal love.
It's greater than life itself.
Fellowship with Him above.
Don't try a do-it-yourself.
Trusting in mere flesh and blood,
Brings a curse upon people.
Your life gets stuck in the mud-
Mount with wings like an eagle!
Why do you try to judge Him?
Your wisdom cannot compete.
Be wise and bow, not condemn-
His desire fulfilled is sweet.
Are you repelled by His plan?
That's the measure of a man!
Tell me what is greater than
A Hebrews 11 clan?
Sometimes He will disappoint-
Success can be knocked out-of-joint.
No worries from His standpoint,
Moses is a case-in-point.
Where can Christian joy be found?
Joylessness seems to abound.
His fruit of joy will astound,
Obeying on the battleground!
Stay in His fear and His word,
Or boundary lines are blurred.
Rivals to Him you must purge
For His blessings to resurge.
Bottomless blessings are vast.
He doesn't give them all fast.
You must continue to trust-
Abiding in Him is a must.
“Instrumentalising mind, I rested thought
employing it only when needed
shifting to heart, I became self-taught
gentling touch, voice of conscience heeded.” (Unseeking Seeker)
Defeated with frustration and despair
here am I wallowing into failure’s quagmire
lamenting toward hopelessness
since from life of thorns --- I remained stuck…
How can I escape from gloom?
As conscience rebukes me in my self-pity
with counsel to free me from agonizing angst
confronting woe engulfing my heart
even sabotaging sanity’s mindset
here am I striving to be exonerated from guilt…
Why am I in this plight in the first place?
Along introspection midst prayerful soul-searching
propelled toward perseverance to triumph
here am I trusting God* Who can hoist me upward
against thorns of the flesh, testing my fervor
asserting that life indeed is not a bed of roses
because faith softens harsh cross with divine grace…
Thus, what can hinder me now to enjoy life?
Yes, right mindset toward life can conquer pessimism
attacking heart, devastating positive outlook
hence, grateful am I for the Almighty Lord
enabling me to focus on His countenance
considering this Scripture’s assertion:
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..."**
Now, would you join me in this life-enjoyment venture?
*Psalms 118:8 - "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." **Proverbs 23:7

O happy worm that of my flesh might eat
When after death I lie in deep in the earth
My bosom,hands and eyes become your meat
You have no sun as you enjoy your feast
And none is chosen as we were at birth
O happy worm that of my flesh might eat
All of us are equal in defeat
None are high or low , what are we worth?
My brain,my hands,my eyes become worms’ meat
In the soil, we rest in comfort sweet
Let us all be blessed,God make no curse
You made the happy worms who will us eat
O remember the deep ash from Auschwitz’ heat
The little children killed without Kaddish
Those hearts ,those hands, those eyes no worm could eat
,
Why should we be satisfied by wish
When people burn or starve beside our dish
O Godly worm that of my flesh might eat
Let my very self become your meat

Unable to feel love
A shadow hangs, a constant chill,
Despite their warmth, my heart stands still.
They say they love, with words so kind,
But in my soul, no solace I can find.
Their touch, a breeze that barely blows,
A distant echo, where affection grows.
Their smiles, a mask they wear so well,
While mine, a truth, their love can't tell.
I crave a warmth that fills my core,
A love that's felt, forevermore.
But in their eyes, a flicker, cold,
That leaves me empty, stories untold.
They're flesh and blood, a tie so strong,
Yet in this bond, I've felt so wrong.
Their love a whisper, faint and low,
A melody, I can't seem to know.
Perhaps it's me, I cannot grasp,
The way they love, their love's soft clasp.
Perhaps it's them, their love concealed,
A hidden treasure, never revealed.
But still I yearn, with longing deep,
For love that's genuine, I wish to keep.
To feel the comfort, warmth, and grace,
To find my place, in their embrace.
Inspired by a lifetime of knowing that my family loved me but I just couldn't feel it.
I would hold you in my arms
each night,to make
you feel better
Intertwined two bodies
of naked flesh
a mixture of body parts
never being able to
distinguish one from another
Seeing only two heads held
closely together
my lips kiss your head
my finger tips stroke your brow
Our souls' possess each others
body as our being's hold each
others tight allowing our hearts
to beat as one
A peace is felt as all else
melts away
One could not exist without
the other
When apart our souls'
would weep
My lips would lose their softness
deprived of kissing yours
My voice held hostage
absent yours to speak to,
as my heart would cease
to beat
I would fade away into the
nothingness,
not even a whisper on a breeze
to flow through life
No words can describe what
we share, as none uttered
can express these feelings
You are my anchor to this life
Together we will remain one

In shadows deep, where sorrows lie,
A tale unfolds, of pain and I.
Within the realm of cutting's art,
A haunting journey, tearing hearts.
Oh, wretched blade, so cold and keen,
Unveiling scars, a hidden scene.
Upon the flesh, it dances wild,
Unleashing echoes of the child.
A longing whispers in the night,
As fragile souls lose hopeful light.
In solitude, the heart betrays,
And anguish bleeds in crimson haze.
Yet, pause a moment, let us see,
Behind the curtain, a plea to be free.
For in this pain, a searching soul,
Yearns for healing to make it whole.
Beneath the surface, the truth remains,
That every wound can hide the stains
Of battles fought within the mind,
Where pain's illusion seeks to bind.
But, dear friend, there's strength within,
To rise above, to let pain thin.
Embrace the love that gently weaves,
A tapestry of hope to retrieve.
Reach out for solace, hands outstretched,
For in compassion, hearts are etched.
Let empathy's balm your spirit mend,
And scars become a story to transcend.
In unity, our wounds may heal,
As understanding's light reveals,
That cutting's sorrow can't define,
The essence of a soul divine.
So let us walk this path as one,
Supporting hearts, till pain is done.
With love's embrace, we shall reclaim,
The strength to heal and break the chains.
The breath-taking rhythm and rhyme of the cosmic music
Venus dances in a little circle around the Earth.
Composed of five heart-shaped movements, psychotherapeutic
Isn't she the embodiment of love, beauty, and mirth?
Comprehensive courses in cohesion and cognition
Heart-shaped inferior and superior conjunction
A form akin to the petals of a primrose fission
spins clockwise on her axis with a flesh-blood affection.
Be gentle, sensitive, and compassionate. Venus says
Taste a planet of beauty, harmony, and aesthetics.
Unravel the mysteries of your romantic world ways
She presents and inspires gem-like feminine magnetics.
Problem-solving, risk-taking, compassion, all so intense
Your dance, O Venus, ever compresses good or bad sense.
