Eddie currents confused the conduits in this mind
How can the transformers in the brain go not blind
Confusing is the light, direct me as it's straight shined
Hundreds of emotions imprisoned and confined
Thoughts going back to teenage years deeply pined
Worrying about the love effects totally enshrined
Consider this cancer, your thoughts are far too kind
This melon has been carved deep, right to the rind
Missing all that I've lost, forever rightly defined
Penned for the world to read like riding bare on equine
A century, now I've given the soup all I have mined
Mentored by Sotto, DT, Mo, Anaya, and P. Hind
Mused by Constance, Brandy, Sunshine, Anna, I've refined
Influenced by Gershon, Paula, and Dilly, like whine
Holding fast to FJ, Charles, Eve & Deb my heart relined
My love for you all wide openly is to remind

The hooker had saved a piece of herself,
a part kept new not old
As pure and pristine as a fresh running stream,
never bartered, never sold
The johns came and went, the money got spent,
each trick relined with pain
But in one sacred place, her past is erased
—where sun blocks out the rain

To live life as a Poet,
to slay the demon time
Your spirit freed with every verse,
in meter and in rhyme
To reach beyond your passion,
to say what others feel
To bring tomorrow home today,
the devils wrath to reel
To wander past your memory,
returning once again
Each word a ticket through the gate,
its path relined with friends
Their faces each and every one,
a title to a poem
That left your hand so long ago
—with heaven its to roam

Are your wishes scribed in combat,
are your hopes relined with pain
Is your motion found still wanting,
as you climb the stairs again
Are your words now of this moment,
is your verse free and sincere
Are your feelings calling inward
—from a heart that’s yearning dear

I gave them names
when crosses died
Inserted praise
where ours stood
I chose their tales and raptured souls
And braised a sin
in toil for lost breath,
I matched those fables
to untold restrain
Relined the thoughts to rhythm
yet unwilled
I floated a grin
atop despair
I dragged a sight and restored
my will...
I staggered words
abreast of harm
Rejoined them true to wasted time
We sipped from chance's
rented guile
We called it back to slay the borrowed
us
Of sails and winds these waves shall stream
Of tales and souls our dreams shall weave
Inside the broken stilts we still
rely on prayer's woken guilt
