Long Murkiest Poems

Tears fall, soundless memories, silent as dew,
Struggling from the morning’s gentle eyes, clawing
Through the promises, feelings blooming,
Like the blessings of roses, soft petals bathing
In the sun’s clever glare… 

As she erases the silence, the dew,...

Hate is the souvenir from lips,
who echo darkness,
words like swords, piercing 
into soft flesh, hearts 
breaking beneath the weapon’s
sickening crack, words 
erasing the hope of ever
feeling worthy or worthwhile

Hate is the spiteful taste,
bitter as the...

As I follow after this answer,
Who showed me the way through pain,
Who promised me that love would win,
Who silenced the doubts that charged my sin,
Who kept me from seeking out sin again.

As I follow after...

He silences the vulgar roar
Of loneliness and fear
He gentles all the stormy wars
Between sin and my spirit
He christens my heart’s kiss
With inspiration so tender
He sprinkles kindness, humility
All around my soul’s belief

He lingers on my spirit’s...

When I gaze deeply into your heart,
I see my own strength staring back
I see that I am worthy
Hugged in the warmth of its beat
I am attracted to your integrity 
To your passionate journey 
Of your...

The heart, the soul
Are all aglow
With love that rains down
Hope and joy
Peace and passion from above
Lighting the spirit
With sensitivity, fulfilling
Every thought, each dream
Beautiful grace
Sent on the wings of faith

The wonder of a love
Flowing through the...

The glitter surrounding our world
Has thinned out extensively 
To such an extent
That darkness has not only infiltrated
Through our borders, but,
Has completely invaded our essence!

The rampage upon our confused hearts
Has already started
And the darkness has made...

Beginning with a twinkle
Falling softly from the dark skies
Stars reaching down, embracing
Charming the yearning heart
Gentle, comforting lights

Moonbeams whisper laughter
Through the murkiest night
Tenderly piercing the blackness
With rays of heavenly glitter
Peppered across smoky blankets

Fireflies dance, shimmering
Captivating flames...

Incensed Shadows

My silent quest for light through incensed shadows,
The first gift to creation by Omnipotent radiance,
Crusader seeks an astral beacon to rise above wooden rows
Unblocking healing springs of ambient deliverance.

Refraction’s womb, sunbeams float in puddles...

At one time I used to feel
What I now believe is not real.
This girl I knew once held my heart,
And it is from there that I shall start:
Our eyes made contact from across the room;
Like...

"Doing Job's time"


I try to run but it keeps following me, running out of breath and out of stamina it grabs me and l deteriorate....

It's in my head torturing my heart, to pollute my spirit...

To the mountaintop, the moon, and back
In times of peace and war, 
From daybreak to sundown 
Until the Mississippi River runs dry

FIRE AND BRIMSTONE

Whitened collar, fixedly starched 
To the ultimate limits of self-perfection, 
Points righteous, crooked finger 
At an open-mouthed assembly, 
Crouching beneath thick-
Eyebrowed gaze of a dark
Frock-coated scarecrow.

His cackling voice emits 
Hollowed-out squawks,
Casting lines of...

Women rise not only when needed but when noticing
Things need to be changed, 
Wanting more fairness, more community, 
Inspired by hope, and joy, 
Wanting to better the future for their children's children

Women take the lead...

Silent tears hold the loudest pain - author unknown.


Just when I think no one will know,
There comes a soft and gentle flow,
Silently sighing o’er the light,
Stirring my heart’s kindness to glow.

Reflected on moments so bright,
Painting...

Upon my life, I do declare, my dear,
My Darling, Elizabeth, that I do
Love you from the depths of my soul to the
Greatest reach of my fingertips, from where
My boots tread, to the lengths my heart...

Pride jumped into a frightening battle,
Too selfish, this war was never settled,
Almost so dark, felt like stars would rattle.
Inside, pride’s heart and spirit were mettled.

Pride rejected kindness and charity,
She listened to the dark world of...

Moonlight with stardust breathes into my soul
Whispering light and love through my heart
Touching my thoughts with soft silence
Calm feelings rush through my veins
Hues of crimson kindness
Soothing my feelings
With bold insights
Inspiring
Playful
Joy
Hope 
Echoes
With passion
Tantalizing
Purest compassion
Faith’s surreal inkling
