solemn-faced men come locust invading in
Their mouths smile not, and eyes neither grin

Interwoven in my DNA
Disjointing chain links
Always lopsided
Never any balance
Overreacting
Overly emotional
Distracted by everything
One day somewhat normal

Super friendly one moment
As reclusive as a funnel web spider the next
No way to truly explain
It's like...

As I swiftly walk up on stage without hesitation
My heart is pumping rapidly...

safety in number
not quite, not yet
but safety and comfort
trusted ones select
reassurances in subtle ways
challenges in gentle ways
guidance in assuring ways
thought-I am safe
lost though I fear I am
unsure where I'm headed
the new goal not focused on...

From the beginning it was dark.
Fighting invisible demons in the shrouding veil,
near to death, and tired from the wages of battle.

Then a light peirced the night...
An angel came into sight, and my demons retreated.

Our hearts and hands had melded
And brightened up a world

Then in winter, came snowstorms
And lightning, to burn up our shelter
A dragon roaring proud

So we were dashed, were broken
A nasty scar formed upon...

I’ve been haunting this old gothic
since nineteen eighty,
when I died from a brain tumor
at the age of sixty-three.

I cannot leave this antique home,
I am well-bound within,
must haunt it for one hundred years,
punishment for my sins.

I miss you so much
I long for your touch
I surrender to shadows
And the wicked wind blows

I am working out without a doubt
I am walking God’s narrow route
You know what I’m talking about…

Fill ya temples layers with divinely shinning sun rays,
Be gone, go away ignorance that can't comprehend what I’m saying,
