POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Extinction
I walk along a broken cement
Balancing heel to toe
Intoxicated by thoughts of who, what, when, where, and how?
Did I get here?
Staggering in my nature,
I must survive
Time flashes a developing postcard
Wearied and worn
This soul
Aimlessly wanders
I must meet my feat
Defeat, maybe
Fate
To fall to my knees
Sword in place, anything...
Not to realize
I'm extinct...
A warrior with no purpose, at all
Time has outgrown the need for he or she...
Her or him...
Diplomacy and rhetoric...

See no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
Drink of this cup
Disastrous illusions
Rediscover your finite humanity
This imagery of confusion
Seeks to embody, through you
The darkness of your carnality
Leading to the fatality of many
Cobain estranged,
Compromised and deranged
Warped in the arms of purgatory
The weeping and gnashing
There, teeth foam,
Seething in blood,
Devour your guts
Sex and drugs

Let It Be Beautiful
Let it be beautiful
Allowing to see the beauty of the tears
Letting them flow and swell your vision
Allow your eyes to burn with a newness
Letting it be healed
Allowing the pain to let you go
Let love win
Allowing alchemy to play its part
The cosmic arraying of my design
To the opening of that heart
Pouring out of those things that matter the most
Let it be beautiful
I need your permission

Glory
Washed my face with sea salted tears,
Exfoliating the pain etched in reins of my heart,
That great exchange
So that I no longer mourn
But sing joyful praises of His grace
The mourning dew
To bloom a morning glory
Rejoice with me O Israel
Now that He makes His face to shine on me all the days of my life...🙌🏼

Take It In Blood
Enclosed in the essence of my presence
With every resuscitating realizing of my existence
In her entirety
Built from rib bone and marrow
I am the seed and the planting
This life
Lived real and true
This present sent gift
Every breath, breathing
Beholding the resetting at every sun setting
716
Golden time of my evenings
I take it in blood
What I'm striving for
The grand finale of this world's ending
That I be found set apart and marked
For royalty everlasting
Finally the crowning of the meek and lowly ...

I Sing of War
To be sweet and docile I strive...
Await justice with patience...
Never blinking an eye...
To sleep with no rest was the ultimate test
In a garden so peaceful
Though so near the spirit of death
No fear to succumb to
No wayward thoughts allowed
But to endure good hardness all the while
A single moment of obedience
To change the course of history
I was in that decision devout
Allowing His most perfect will
Total control unto Him I yield
With the ancient knowing of Days
Slain before the nation
Visions envisioned the...

It's A Heart Thing
It’s a (heart) thing
Enchanted flowings of her essence
I know it’s a hard thing
To lay ahold the rapture of the deep
Grasping illusions of the light
Flickering on the sides of sunken ships
How it feels to refuse the demise of what could have been
Letting go of the passion that once gave death meaning
And in turn life as well
It’s a heart thing
The swelling up of volcanic proportions
Idolizing what you now know is no more
But a grave
A sounding board of rhythmic echos
Warring within its hollowed chambers

Love Out Loud
To master love out loud
I will not be silence
But allow my love to swell like the proverb
I come in like a mighty flood
A typhoon of authority
I walk in liberty
Causing a trembling of all those unlike me
I am love, the great mystery
For the whole world to see
And speak of His majesty
A great revealing it will be
When you set your knees to bow
Before the one true King...

New Jerusalem Pt1
Whites, golds and emeralds,
Enrobed on the throne,
Sensually captivating majesty,
My King is the theme
A dawn that never has ending
Golden wings and things
Celestial beings sing with rhyme and reasonings
The Most High's mind during the creating
A haven safe heavens
Level number 9, I find mind
Mine in awe of He, bring me back to him
The true lover of my soul
Holy Matrimony,
He calls me Eve
In the remembering of days past for all of eternity
I sing
In everlasting gardenings,
Be my life
Be my resurrection ...

Dry Bones
Down in the valley
There's a love story unspoken
a tale of true passion
Death himself could not escape their grasp
Cusped between the constellations of what God had joined together
Birds of the same feather if you will
A battle that cost them their lives
This odyssey of holy matrimony
Only told in hell's gossip room
Did you see her in that final hour?
Him not even skip a beat,
gave her his last heartbeat...
lay down his life...for his wife?
Heaven recalls how their tears allowed for desert ferns to inspire television shows.. ...

Pain
Bipolar, cut in two
Two wholes of a half lie, no truth
I been lied to...my whole life
Scorned within
I dream a dream
Scorched by the sun's
Beaten torch
A desert plain
Rotten remains, I've scavenged,
no good thing
Lies within me but
My hope is set in thee
The first born of many
A righteous seed
Among dry bones on a throne of majesty
I plead with me
Yet though he slay me,
I will trust in thee
With a faith renewed
Robust in flame, my embers set ablaze to tell the story,
