hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words

like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages
towards the back of their minds

once-in-a-while 
reminding them of stories 
they are eventually, all souls

book-marked

whisked away in winter’s winds, your sleeping sighs remind me.

I try to gently hold them

O My beloved Lord Jesus,
You mean everything to me
From sea to shining sea,
To my beloved homeland,

Sometimes it's called 'Old Glory!'

And My Lord, I pray it's already
Not too late,...

The Trials of Meretrix Canto I
When your befuddled mind
Forsakes upon the ragged edge
Of swirling darkness;
Where eternal night awaits
To sate upon purest innocence
Besides an open grave!
When the gravity of your perils
Be foully whispered within
Dismayed
And abject earshot;
Where salvation for despairing souls
Be so...
