with my eyes closed
music in my ears
the world around me drowned out
senses occupied
I reject my given reality and substitute my own
Just for a moment
And then I’m back...

The Substitute
Justice decreed,
"Man must die!"
Mercy pleaded
for another way.
                                                
Love, with grace, 
stepped forward,
and God's sacrificial lamb
was slain....

Carnal Sensibility
If love is blind, then what is carnal attraction?
Untuned fidelity can be quite the fatal distraction.

Stones substitute sweet;
Grown ups fails to greet

Accepting Life
I’ve decided to accept my life
Exactly, for what it is..............?
Another magnum, of fine Champagne
Just, without the fizz

As for those of you
Who don’t drink, or smoke
You can substitute
A can of Coke
