The Lay of The Best Man - Part One

I’ve seen men ‘good’, and surely, I’ve seen men ‘bad’
So jealous and so envious, I’ve seen men ….sad
Twisted, fuming with anger, and consumed with rage
Callous and cruel...

I am bound in the chambers of doubt
I want to run His ever-redeeming Route
Believing in You is getting more difficult, so difficult
Faith in You has been disappearing…and it’s my fault

I must trek these mountainous tribulations...

“The Masked Faces”

We peeling off the foreskin of our rich culture,
Ignorance is the reason we feed on the carcass of a Vulture,
The more we fail the more we weaken the pillars of the structure,
Created by...

Word from dream, the act of becoming, then woman
From Eve to Anat, the rib dribbled on the sand
Love and worship from dust of conviction life's promise claimed
And we from altar to grave turned, wounded and...

B.T.S
Before
Turning
Seventeen
Thought that being a teenager was the life
On top of the freakin world
Nothin can stop me
The seat of the throne
Social hierarchy is the one and only rule
All of us collecting friends like Infinity Stones
Is the...

The sorrow I feel for the way things ended remains deep and real.
I would not have chosen the path we took or its final destination;
but, to know you for just a moment was worth the...

Diamonds and pearls, precious metals too, are the kind of things I wish I could 
have given to you. But you knew my fate I didn’t hide it from you, and you still 
wanted, to...

In shadows deep around the world,
here and there where thoughts converge,
A poem stirs, with words emerge,
To shed light on the dangers found,
When religion's cloak is tightly bound.

Religion, a force both ancient and grand,
Can unite hearts,...

He's


sorry


for what he's done....


he's


apologetic, but the moon


she's crumbled in my palms and drenched


in my tears.


I rub my hands across my jeans and shoot stars across my ripped up, tarnished wardrobe


maybe he'll witness me before he...

Abort me not
What's the thought was I was brought 
Electrified turbulent sequences 
Triggers action imaginative 
Visionary dreams of scheme 
Abort me not
A way of things I am bothered electrified a promise 
Attilating spark a due...

God, if you're listening,

I haven't heard from you in a long time.
I thought we had a great thing going here, but my prayers have yet to be answered.
I know this sounds crazy, but I think...

Fables; to dream these seemingly impossible things!?

A compiling compound upon the pages of a lifes, forever tarnishing of stories....

I found this little book 
inside my heart, much
to my surprise – in a place
secure, for faithful, searching
eyes...apparently having long
been there – a safe-space of refuge,
free from sighs – an inner garden:

no perennial blooms, that...

A family member often criticized me
Initially I felt I was bad and cried
I lost my confidence, contemplated suicide

Then, I realized criticizing others was her habit
I never spoke badly to others
I was way better than her

Foul acts leave tainted oil upon the soul, smothering all that we are
After the suffocation, only hollow remains
For every tarnishing blow we deal to our existence there is a cost
Blinded by arrogance and self-gratitude we...

A leadened heart devoid of trust
until an alchemist came along,
turning it into gold-
Or so it seemed...
Trust, broken trust.

 
It was now a locket that held secrets,
that had a key protected by fear
Hidden in the darkness...

they lie in graves 
cold and silent 
buried deep by intention 
weighted down with 
medals of gold 
do they regret
or still yearn 
to Revere ride 
through black of night 
with silvern voices
rallying to the cries...

The tarnishing pendent from her mother dangles freely from her pale neck.
As she lies motionless on stained sheets.
Her hair, messy lies piled around her head.
Little pieces cling to her sweat traced forehead.

The doctors swore it...

Ironed Shadows

Her hands lay smooth
the coveralls worn thin
now wrinkled
once charged with earth

Mended armor from

embossed with...

Perpetually I am thrown in the pulse of mourning against the wall
With sincerity I ask lord if you indeed subsist, apprehend my soul through it all
From the immoral ways accumulated in yesteryears

my wings have been burnt 
I fell from above bending my halo 
shattering the silence of reality 
and tarnishing my soul 
white turns to black as evil takes hold

Life's journey has ups and downs.
We strive and grow in harsh storms.
But be calm, dear soul—this will drown.
You have an unwavering will to transform.

In pandemonium, darkness surrounds.
The flashing of pure light astounds.
Accept...

Awakened from a still slumber on a moonless night,
I felt an angel's wing brush across my cheek.
The imminence of purity beaming into the shadows.
Not thrust upon me, but gently stirring me.
The slight touch, a quiet...
