An epic saga in words,deeds and song
Of a man who killed lions,& wore his hair long;
Samson,a Nazarite when this tale began
The Spirit of the Lord,fell upon him at Dan;
With just a jawbone,a spectacular killing he made
Freeing Judah and ruling for two decades;
But desire, was this Judge's downfall
A lover's wiles causing him to fall;
He revealed his secret,without due care
Delilah so quickly razored off his hair;
The Philstines bound him with bronzen rope
To God,Samson called out in hope,
And making his final heartfelt plea,
The temple fell down ,for all to see.

Eroticism -
a supple spine in a wanting curve
and a foolish fever simmers a scarlet heartbeat—
temptation is an aphrodisiac
and guilt— a red kite lost in a hot hurricane
a strand of blue moonstones plunge to titillate
illicit points of contact caught by starlight
restless yin-nerve-endings take an edgy stance—
primal presence pearls beneath parted flimsy fabric
ah.. gossamer chic taken and tossed by windy hands
freeing moons and earth captured in your orbit
golden hair a dirty tangle flies— streamers
of infidelity seized in someone else’s hands
heat-seeking rhythm throbs within walls
a slappin’ poppin’ bass line frenzy
our bodies wild like a warehouse rave
a driving beat hugging hips caught in a fishnet shimmy
high on oxytocin and fizz of affaire du jour—
unbridled breakers breaking vows in a whipped up gale
as hedonistic hot spots revel in unrestrained spindrift
.. it’s a jungle for conjugal love ..
volcanic ash streaks a feral romance
carnal cat (a hungry stippled stray)
pins me down like prey in a dopamine storm
where edges rendezvous soft and hard and fuse
a silhouette of geometry body-painted in black sands
as the surge uncurls the waves—
dreamscape escape on a slick onyx sheet
nakedness blurs in the rough charcoal smudge
shapes shaded with a roll on the rim of a graphite night
the art of cheating sins stain a seedy portrait on skin
yet basks in the moonbeam’s push into the pulse
without mercy or justification—
just unadulterated
adulterated
euphoria!

The Buddha Within
People speak of the god within
Or the light within
But I like to see it as the buddha within
Buddha, as in awakened mind within.
This awakened mind in never separate
Or elsewhere from this moment,
This sense of self.
It’s just not of this self,
Not even the silent inner watcher.
What is it then? How can we know it?
More importantly how can we not know it,
And this absolute intimacy
Is why and how it goes unrecognized.
As for what it is, how can we say a thing
About what isn’t a thing?
We are left to write poems and simply dream
Confident that whatever inspires us
Is connected, inseparably, from the awakened.
Maybe this isn’t true for everyone,
But as Meister Eckhart said long ago,
“The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories, your attachments.
They burn them all away, but they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul.
If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away.
If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth.”

Last night,
As I stared up at the sky,
Stars glistening, stirring hope within,
Breaking through the silence,
Erasing all the doubt, the shadows
Waning as the little lights
Twinkled, fading in and out –
Freeing my dreams, my feelings
Emotions breathing creativity
Last night,
The glimmer of starlight above me,
Wishes started to caress my smile,
Yearnings – deep and alive inside,
Where the fantasy, the desire…
Burned like a blazing fire,
Illuminating my heart, my soul
With dreams so alive they blistered
My feelings with vision, pulsating
Faith, freedom – fulfillment
Last night,
I stared up at the sky,
Wishing on a star as it sparkled,
Glowing across the night,
Heavy with beauty and soothing
Away every fear, comforting
As it shone, brighter than the moon,
Trembling with joy – inviting
My heart to believe in the dream,
To wish – like a child who is
Caught up with certainty, so willing
To remember that the stars, themselves
Are His miracles, His gifts…
Last night,
I wished on a star and now…
The beauty of that moment reminds
Me that the truth is far more
Beautiful than any fantasy, any dream
The truth is that my wish came true
The moment that I gave my heart to you
What Never Comes
Flying
too close to the sun
Reeling
from nights on the run
Yearning
for what never comes
Dying
alone — unbecome
**
New Words
Freeing his echo
he broke with the past
Leaving the reference
and voices recast
Lifting the moment
above and beyond
Each breath coming back
— new words to his song
**
Missteps
A quicksand entrapment
lost in its mire
Drowning inclement
— fleeing the fire
**
Night Winds
The desert
rekindles
Your essence
on fire
Strange voices
and faces
Incarnate
desire
A lizard
lies watching
One eye
rolling back
As night winds
uncover
The devil’s
— lost tracks
**
In The Vacuum
Silence
has a sound
that hides
in your fear
Those questions
unasked
bypassing
your ear
It seeps
and it enters
when lost
in your guile
And shouts
in the vacuum
of quiet
— denial
**
In Debt To The Moment
Beautiful pain
Glorious suffering
Exploding regret
Immune to the sound
Embracing today
Releasing the memory
In debt to the moment
— lost and refound

Indispensable for our restoration

Sealed with His devotion
Secured by His decision
Satisfied amidst His delight
Shown along His direction

Leaving heavenly throne to reach-out mankind, the Messiah bore the status of condescension: His birth in the Bethlehem manger brought to Earth’s calendar a divine milestone, while glorious angelic choir and awed shepherds welcomed His babyhood.

utmost caring shown
compassion indeed at work
blissful selflessness
Falsely accused with blasphemy unpardonable, betrayed by intimate companions, indicted to pay sins’ penalty, Jesus bore the cross to Calvary, giving up the ghost to reconcile sinners to the holy Creator: freeing those who trust Him from iniquities’ condemnation, assuring them heaven’s security, and granting peace so blissful.
grace and justice met

You hear dumb people screaming it
all over the networks today,
latest excuse for censorship,
“Hate speech! Hate Speech!” they always say.
They’ve even pushed some governments
to think that it’s a real thing,
politicos lusting for power
are only too eager in helping.
A true Orwellian idea,
every busy-body’s greatest wish;
but there’s no such thing as ‘Hate Speech,’
you’re scum if you think that there is.
Free speech has been long protected,
and there is good reason for that,
public exchange of all ideas
is what weeds the good from the bad.
Did not free speech allow debate
on whether the slaves should be free?
Did not the south deem it ‘hateful’
when call on their hypocrisy?
Did not it allow Jim Crow’s lash
to be dragged out into the light?
Can the woke cultists of today
be so utterly sure they’re correct?
Or with free speech are they afraid
that they’re evil might just be next?
Because the way they act these days
one cruel fact cannot be ignored,
had social media existed
Abe Lincoln would have been censored.
To dare speak out on freeing slaves
would have been seen as a real risk;
but there’s no such things as ‘Hate Speech,’
you’re scum if you think that there is.
Free speech must play the social role
of showing uncomfortable truths,
like a parent using tough love
to impart something to the youth.
You say Gender Dysphoria
increases chance of suicide,
they blather that you are ‘hateful,’
they’d rather let those people die.
You point our single motherhood
destroys children in the long run,
they scream out that you ‘hate women!
What’s wrong is a girl has some fun?
But school shooters and locked-up cons
all seem to come from broken homes,
depression, drop-outs, job failure
these correlations are well-known.
We used to speak about such things,
to save our daughters from this fate,
now society falls apart
because dumb leftists call it ‘hate.’
If it can’t be called to account
the destructiveness will persist;
there is no such thing as hate speech,
you’re scum if you think that there is.
CONCLUDES IN PART II.
Through the music of a child’s laughter
On the edge of a soft, silent whisper
Comes the grace that heals and fills
Hearts with sweetness, kindness, acceptance
Through the song that caresses the wind
When a robin flies over the gentle hills
Breathing hope into the precious inspirations
Of a joy that knows the comfort of imagination
Through the light that lingers on the clouds
Coloring the heavens in flowery signs of a smile
Murmuring merrily amid the grumble of rain showers
Flickering life into the heart of divine insight
Through the blaze of a fiery mystery, a secret
So intuitive and wise that it hangs optimism
Across the seas of understanding, adorning the moments
With beautiful dreams that haunt the soul with passion
Through the blushes of captivation and fulfillment
Linger beauties so alive they embrace the naked emotions
With a sense of enrichment that caresses the desires
Of a nature who reaches beyond the moment into eternity
Through the echoes reaching across the ridges of sapphire
Lightening the affections with simplicity and feathery visions
Lovely caresses of prayers and praises sending out illumination
Of joy, gentleness, feelings so rich and vibrant they’re healing
Through the promise of a God who lives in the heavens
Answering hearts and souls with inspirational messages
Caressing spirits with love so awash in ecstasy it fascinates
The life who listens to the still, small voice who breathes into
The spirit… assurance that His love is always with us
A certainty, assurance, reality… a penetrating tear
Dripping across the senses with fulfillment and softness
Benevolence and wisdom, freeing the soul to listen
To His pure, sweet spirit – calling through the sensations
Of a love that lingers on the embrace of God’s gift
God’s love is always with us – guiding us, filling us
Sweetening our lives and feelings – with goodness
Hope, faith and peace that meets all our needs
Brushes our thoughts with inspiration and colors our
World in hues of vibrant, flamboyant joy from knowing
GOD is alive – and He is living through my life!
When he took my hand in his,
Feelings trembling in my breast,
An awkward yearning…
Breathless quest, a journey,
Into the mountains of tenderness.
Exposing gentle, its kiss crushing
Every doubt, each insecurity…
With the wonder of these feelings,
Bleeding liquid emotions, dreaming
Healing all the dark dread…
With sensitivity, the silence of wings
Freeing the wish for romance that sings
In a voice with a razor sharp edge –
Just beyond the uncertainty, into the beautiful
Faith, the believing in a joy, a hope, an inkling…
Between two hearts, two thoughts, two –
Who remember the sweetness of beautiful,
The kindness of a dream being lived out,
The music, the melody so gentle, like light
Being poured out by the buttery sun, the love
When we first met, a fire burned within –
Yet, there was a brush with the quiet of kindness,
Compassion caressing the tears, the fears
Silencing every pain, each darkness – with the laughing
Glow of a familiar breath, the breath of joy
The breath of knowing love that is living
Inside the soul who believes, the soul who sees
Beyond the darkest storm, the worst distress,
Into the mystery of a moment when love’s yearning
Frees the heart from its chest of not knowing…
With one short breath – doubt ceases to exist
And, light reflects what is best – the source of all rest,
The love that is forever the spirit’s greatest blessing,
The soul’s greatest success – the life’s permission…
To share in the joy that comes to those who simply believe…
That love is the answer if we only agree – yes, it is the key!
