Skin Deep

If beauty is confined to only the skin Yours must go down to the bone Wrapping it up and squeezing inside Worming it’s way all the way to the soul Your beauty transcends this human flesh Your spirit a bird and your body its nest Beauty cannot be only skin deep For you are more…

Nothing New Under The Sun

All below reduced to inches As the dark crow flies Busy little buzzing bees The square honeycombs their hive Diving and swerving Looping and curving Proud of their unique ways While above them glides The crow that flies Spinning through the haze He sees the bees Winding through the trees Treading their predictable paths Splitting…

Watching The World Go By

Music floods my ears As fish swim all around Mouths constantly in motion Their words drowning in the sea of noise Meaningless waves breaking on the beach of my brain Even when the flood subsides

Rainy Day

Socks soaked through but I’m not gray You have chased my clouds away I’ll never mind these rainy skies As long as you are by my side Snow or sleet or hail or rain Our love can withstand the strain No precipitation will make me dour Your love sweetens all my sour No one can…

Lingering…

“I’ve been struggling, you know, with…lingering…” Their lips linger on the words as if to taste with their mouths what their eyes gorged on. Looking down at the ground, in a confused embarrassment, but also in an attempt to see again what they…lingered…on. A two dimensional picture of a multidimensional being. An image that represents…

love the sinner HATE THE SIN

It’s very interesting to me that many Christians are unable to separate love and hate. I am a firm believer in balance (both in the Force and life in general). In order to fully experience happiness, one also has to experience sadness. For comfort to be appreciated one has to have also been uncomfortable. However,…

The Perfect Suicide

The perfect suicide is a note that no one reads A human pen that breaks and bends Before it’s had its time to bleed The perfect suicide is someone that’s alone A human for whom the doom and gloom Is not just a faux shadow The perfect suicide lies awake each night Too sad to…

I

If the wind blew over the hills of my soul Would it waft away pleasant, or stormy and cold? In the maelstrom of me there does seem to be A deep sea rife with fishy mystery I know not myself when I look in mine eyes Round the hurricane’s center destruction does fly Perhaps weak,…

Absence

Oh sweet I long to hold your hands Your hot palms warm my wintry fingers My dear I lust for your arms around me Squeezing out all the bad things My ears buzz in the absence of your voice Flowers for your words to pollinate My body aches for yours next to me Someone to…

Casual Cruelty

It is casual cruelty that makes me cringe The sign that a mind may be slightly unhinged Calling your name with an array of foul words Some sounds from my mouth should remain unheard Instead of encouragement we spew degradation Sandwich love in hate language, the new taste sensation The sentences are vile, but not…

Time Flies

Oh when and why do the hours fly? Escaping us so quickly Measured long in movies and songs That leave your bright eyes misty The seconds tick as your breath licks The side of my happy grin Each minute lost is a lowly cost To remain in wonderland

Total Victory

To the victor go the spoils Man now has the battle won Fighting lions and tiger and bears, oh my Struggling to leech life from mother nature’s stony bosom At times the war was hard Sleeping in caves Killing with the hands Eating it raw Now time has proved us champions and we will rule…
