Impassioned Descent

Cunning seducer
Your presence beguiles
I taste your fever
My body complies
Good intentions die

Dare not touch me
For I shall fall
Where angels fly
And hell is nigh

Oh to taste
Faulted grace
Tempt me not

Too late
My fate

Flawed

Foreshadow

ominous dark sky
deep purple to deadly gray
swords of light threaten

Angel

Daughter 
Resting sweetly
Softly breathing, dreaming
Gentle heartbeat, wings of my soul
Flutter

Blessed

poetry in view
a thousand flowers blooming
within your heart smile

Precipice (Vignette)

The devil tap dances on the edge of your desperation
Your fate upon on a spinning coin of revelation
Faith nourishes as some lead without hesitation
Fear and greed lead to many a soul’s dehydration
God intervenes, protects His children – Salvation





Author’s note:  Stephen King’s The Stand

Just Sail

Lay me down 
Upon soft blue water
I surrender
     
Close my eyes 
As I drown in you
I well remember

All those hands 
That eluded me
As I went under

The sting of salt
That filled my heart
That cold November

No matter now 
I’ve learned to swim
The toxic sea

The bottomless 
Of loneliness
Unveiled to me

So, lay me down
Upon soft blue water
I’ll surrender

But not enough
To lose myself
To a cold November

The Journey

Cigarette
Glass of beer
What tomorrow brings
I start to fear
A run-away train
The tunnel does loom
I sense somehow
Approaching doom
My biodegradable future
Becomes clearer now
I made a mistake
I don't know how
I saw a road
Attractive scene
Most beautiful landscape
Looked so serene

Somewhere there grows a tree
Which will eventually encompass me
Flowers come to my door
But I'm not here
No, not anymore

Lost

I am frightened of the dark
In this unfamiliar space
My arms reach out with hope
My eyes strain to see your face
But you are not here with me
As I tread the waters deep

We are isolated mourners
When we lose the light we seek

Calling out to no one
To help me find my way
Trouble even breathing
As I stumble, led astray
I can’t go on much longer
Signs of hope are looking bleak

We are isolated mourners
When we lose the light we seek

In the corners of my mind
I can barely now recall
How you promised me you’d be there
Should I begin to spin and fall
Find forgiveness in the shadows
For I see now you were weak

We are isolated mourners
When we lose the light we seek

I call upon my angels
Who have saved me yet before
I gather all my strength and faith
To open unseen doors
Disappointment is my lesson
With sadness my heart speaks

We are isolated mourners
When we lose the light we seek
