A Stranger's Prayer
Silly wisps of her raven hair flutter In the winds of the long-short corridor of summer; They snivel with the whims of cosseted sots, Sinking in the futile harmony of winking beasts. Pretty whiskers, soft with the ague of age, and lean From frazzled grey. A halo of white cotton crowns her fine dome, revealing little. She paints the inky images of...

Let Me Yearn
(summer 2024) I want a love that is pure, beautiful and made for me. I want them to be poetic to me in a way that I am smitten. God, I yearn for my person to come toward me. It hurts to wait and still feel stuck. How do I keep moving forward when I have feelings like this...

The Things I Never Buried
I never buried certain names, They lingered like a scent in air. I whispered them through window panes And found them waiting everywhere. I never buried childhood roads— The ones I walked with bleeding knees. They live inside the softest odes And bloom like ghosts among the trees. I never buried what she said The night the silence broke our bed. Her voice still echoes...

Not Mine
The olive garden to prepare. With Zebedee’s sons and Peter He prayed for the cup to pass, Your will be done Not mine. Take this cup from me? Yet not my will, but yours be done. Point of death, the hour is here. Fast asleep under the trees. Vision of Isaac being prepared, On his knees to be spared. Sorrow in...

Not entirely clay
[Verse 1] No place to go if the door to your heart is closed, When your love stays my subject, even when I doze, Yet you keep ignoring the true love I propose. You're already driving me nuts, everyone knows, Though many loves abound, to yours, none comes near close. [Pre–Chorus] Day by day, to have your love I pray, Less...
