Impetuous Will

Pastels like jewels fading from my trembling fingers,
Imagining a dream where there had only been fantasies,
Brilliant fantasies...

Love, be not proudHumbly allowed
myself proud-- of
endowed graces
my will is free
pray for me, for
holy, pure mind
purity's crown
makes some frown, but
i'm down with it
my heart agrees
with Kolbe's, that
we please her heart
Immaculate,
sorrows split, if
admit to sins
humbling my pride
don't just hide,...

Through the gates of my grave without any strife

A CROWN OF HORNETSFor what is pride but an ego's false facade
Greed a fallow field of need
Lust a liars claim of love
Wrath a harbinger of hate
Gluttony a beggars fitful dream
Envy a failures silken cloak
Sloth an active acquiescence...

Tis the sin that made Lucifer fall.

Our hearts assume a loathing aspect.

A Dividing LineThere is a line in oceans wide,
where fresh and salt waters collide.
No mixing of the fresh and salt,
When they collide, each takes a halt.
There is drawn, a separation line,
when men to sin their hearts...

Will be earned by all but the hateless
The cost of the lost and broken dreams

Those who choose to be guided by wrath

I am a town kid
A white faced kid
A lonely kid
Face pressed up against the glass

Knowing my shoes and clothes are safe
No grass stains on my pants

Miracle Man
November 11, 2023
Once, my days were lived as a feather,
wind blown, and without fixed direction.
Unknown to me, life’s storms I’d weather,
until God changed my life’s deflection.
Looking back, I see,...

BURYING DIRT
I was twelve once,
long brown hair,
big brown eyes,
men always stared.
I was twelve once,
smart and witty,
some would say,
I was pretty.
I was twelve once,
dreamed about life,
would I someday,
become someone's wife.
I was twelve once,
got knocked down,
was not allowed,

so there is no shame
all then that is needed
is to repay debts of love

obviating need to forgive

Wages of SinHow much profit
have you made
on your greed
The bursar
of hell
wants to know
How has your
avarice

A glutton
those starving

How many times
have you dealt
from the bottom
Betting
the players
were blind
Sleeving that ace
that sends
you to hell
In debt
to the devil
—consigned
