Eyes wide in wonder I entered the chapel
a curious child
through the back door of the church
candles twinkling in the dim light
streaming through the stained glass
like colored candy
like lollipops
statues of saints standing sentry in silence
staring soullessly
I startled for a moment as I thought I saw one move
an illusion of light and shadow
from the flames flitting and flickering
the white wax melting and pooling
Veiled women and bearded men with sandaled feet
A man’s body bloodied and broken
held in his mourning mother’s arms
carved in marble
Morbid monuments to cruelty
A shrine to suffering
The air heavy as velvet curtains
The scent of incense suffocating
The ambiance eerie and funereal
Was he watching me? Was he here?
I called out
my voice echoing off the brick and stone
There was no answer
I was alone

Poetry is not a repeating phrase
totally limiting your unlimited mind,
Soullessly following another’s rules
knowingly pushing your thoughts aside;
Celebrate what’s inside of you
extrapolate your soul’s unique dance;
Elevate that inner rhythm
create your own perfect cadence.

Love me dear, so slowly
Throughout this life and death
My muse and inspirations
You are the best parts
Of me and my words.
I couldn't sew a stitch
Write a single phrase
Without it being gone through you
For my pen is now within.
My mind hides my morphemes
Unable to express
What they really feel
How they are undressed.
They come flowing
With the minute thought of you
Writing soullessly barren
Unless you caress my heart.
My only escape
From a dark lonely word
My writings the half hearted
Plunges of despair.
Giving me my strength
I must go on
Fueled my absence from you
Loss bringing to surface.
The best I have to offer this world
To be desired by you
Forthcoming they do
The vernacular of hope.

My soul cries out
For freedom lost, for songs silenced by doubt
In the shadows of man's fair wisdom's grip
My voice fades, unable to let it rip
I have no freedom!
My words wither and dreams grow tense
In cloistered moments, lips parched and dry
Longing for release, a desperate cry
I call upon God, to cleanse the pain within
I pray in the darkness, hoping to begin
A new chapter, a fresh start, to cut the knot
But still, freedom remains a distant spot
I tried purifying my eyes with relic poems of old
Stretching the soul, searching for the untold
Yet finding nothing of the little boy I once known
Lost in a world where truth is overthrown
Singing soullessly, a song of despair
Trying to beat back the pain, to repair
But hope dries up, like tribal drums long gone
Leaving me to mourn, to carry on
I have no freedom! The words echo loud
In an empty shroud
Yearning for release, for a chance to be
Free from the chains of man's fair decree

AN ANTHROPOLIGICAL ANSWER
More often than not I am made to marvel at the miracle of recently born sons and daughters
At which time I consider the possibility that one of those infants might one day find the cure for cancer
All too often I am urged to think about all the young ones whom a senseless segment of society so soullessly slaughters
Whereupon it saddens me to realize that one of those innocents might also have come upon the same consequential answer

could someone, give you back your life
after they have murder you
resuscitate a whole new world
better than the one, you ever new (knew)
wash the stains of blood, from the form of you
base your acute symptom of death and fear
on lies placed on you...
could they gradually, reawaken
the parts of you that are soullessly deficient
in your weaken condition could you ever be hole again...
would you ever be new...
would ghost stop haunting you...
would the living stop paining you...
would you, could you, answer
when your body has not the ability to move
your pain clearly, from others makes it hard to move...
and i want to hold your soul deep and close
and whisper, Yes I know
YES, the pain is great
cry on me, fill me with your dead tears...
and i will lay here deep in the ground
with you...

programmed to live this everyday life
mechanical actions and emotions
going through the motions thoughtlessly
always present but never really here
feeling trapped within aluminum walls
no way for anyone to come inside
yet no way for me to break out
lost soullessly inside myself
mechanical smiles, my cheap facade
making others believe the falsehoods
that make up my true existance
my laughter has a metalic ring
that wchoes throughout this tin-foil place
creating an ache unlike any other
nowhere to hide from the enemy
when sadly I find, the enemy is me
mechanical bits and broken pieces
welded carelessly into the haphazard shape
of the woman I see staring back
tearfully from the looking glass
the cold hard truth has found me at last
I couldn't hide future, present, or past
my true identitiy has finally appeared
it is the "Tin Man" that resides in here

From the pasture there I walk
With duties done and tools in hand
It fell too ear a screech of hawk.
A rabbit's fear with plumage grand,
A master of sky, and death on land.
A Devil It accrued to me
Soullessly desponding misery.
A dazzling day, a sky of blue
Without a cloud to squander heat.
Toward the East, from which it flew
Filling air with wild wing beat
A line from perch, straight and neat.
Suture and fine (it cared not if I watched)
Then in mid-air, it stopped!
And rode the crest of a wind
From side to side on outstretched wing
Gliding forward and back again.
With bowing head as searching for the thing
With eyes fitting as not in swing..
Then into the brush it ducked to dive
Reemerging with prey --not alive.

This Wandering Imagination
Leaves Nothing As It Seems
When Hopes Feel So Distant
Left Trapped In My Dreams
My Lone Heart Is Lost
In Times So Uncertain
My Faithless Eyes Lose Sight
Blinded By The Curtain
Life Loses All Value
When Truth Is Hard To Obtain
The Past Long Faded
And Scars Are All That Remain
Soullessly I Wander
Through Fields So Grim
Skies Left Overcast
And The Sunlight Is Dim
Moments To Recollect
For Mistakes I've Made
Desperate For Closure
So The Ill Will Can Fade
Skies Slowly Clearing
And Sunlight Breaks Through
A Life So Ever-changing
When Dreams Can Come True
