Was this a bold  endeavour or worst-case high risk plot?
 In one sense I was caught between two poles apart  concerns.
One must never underestimate indeed trivialise a devilish 
difficult decision.
A decision that may...

I gotta let sorrow roll down my weary shoulders
Breaking down a billion boulders, revealing life’s folders

Be enlightened by a gospel, energized choir

Your hoarse growling...

There’s something about dew, glistening,
	Wistful and wishing,
		Clinging to quiet petals,
			Gently hugging…

There’s something about mist, indefinable,

			Heavy with hope…

There’s something about shafts of light,
	Creating a trembling desire,
		Coloring the spirit fiery,	
			Urging reflections, rising…

There’s...

Aching, like a wound
Slashed into the heart, too soon
No time for memories, heartbeats
Shared by two who love – without conditions
In love, there is not a whisper of doubt
There is freedom, wonder, possibilities
Dreams that almost shout...

His sensitive light, His way

to rouse a feeling of intensity deep inside.

How strong the sensation can be when against my body.

I love the how heartening they are

when I feel so misplaced.

Quiet moments,
Spent with the dawn – spent…
With an all-consuming love, God
Who knows me like no other…
He knows me better than a brother.

Quiet moments,
Still as the rising sun – shadowed…
By the moon’s departing glow,
Awaiting its destiny...
