The indecision builds 
while staring into the velvet covered bible
and knowing that you have already

hoping that one small word
will shine into the dark crevices
separating...

A warm, glowing September night.
Nondescript small town bar with
people enjoying fine company and revelry.
College football game just finished.
We won!

Smiling, joy, and laughter. Lively conversation.
Good will...

These secret silent stillnessess,
wistful wispy whisperings
which enter through the windows in my heart,
I try to softly touch them 
and they recede, far, so far away,
I try to gently hold them
they slip beyond my grasp,
and so,...

Odyssey from Africa 15b (Southland)

“Like an antelope in stature 
Yet they hopped along like sparrows!
On big hind limbs like a rabbit’s
With a rat-like tail behind them

Before you I stand, just as I am,
Your gaze bore steeply within my soul.
From within your sight, my consciousness stems,
Beneath the brokenness of a gaping hole.

Our eyes are windows, so in your pupil I found

When death stood at my threshold,
I chose to die to life not lived
for I was drowning in my sorrow:
life nor death showed me tomorrow.

Squirming in the depths of death,
I hated that it took so long!

Life, like a practiced comedian on the stage
Keeps smiling and frowning in turn.
Under the embers of joy that spark from our hearts,
Lies the pulverized heap of charcoaled dreams!
	
Sometimes I find life, a tight rope walk
When...

Distance among us has never been a hitch or...

The state of being free from oppressive restrictions,
or the weight of too much liberties and its affliction.

Of frost? I consult the information highway...

Let me hear your soothing voice ever more
And  keep you  in contact everyday

I compare you my love,
to a mare among Pharoah's chariots
Your cheeks are comely with ornaments.
your neck with strings of jewels.
We will make you ornaments of gold
studded with silver.

While the king was on his couch,
my nard...

To Whomsoever It May Concern,

This is just for me to keep
A track of the tricked mind's inmost--
A gist of sufferings I ever got--
All Happiness I discern.
