Learning To Love
There’s a fork in the road up ahead
Can’t obtain wisdom without mileage
Been searching for a common thread
Knowing I’ll face the hanging judge
Time apparently doesn’t heal all scars
Each passing year guilt grows heavy
Misery is shared inside crowded bars
Until frustration overwhelms the levee
Growing old brings the slow decline
Don’t be pondering over choices made
Sitting here waiting to receive a sign
Learning to love for a debt already paid
Can’t obtain wisdom without mileage
Been searching for a common thread
Knowing I’ll face the hanging judge
Time apparently doesn’t heal all scars
Each passing year guilt grows heavy
Misery is shared inside crowded bars
Until frustration overwhelms the levee
Growing old brings the slow decline
Don’t be pondering over choices made
Sitting here waiting to receive a sign
Learning to love for a debt already paid

Bless my car oh mighty Jesus!
Many many years ago I was in a record store
While browsing through the new releases
I heard a crash outside
I ran out to see what was going on
One car has broadsided another
The car that had gotten broadsided was really fucked up
There was an old black woman in the front seat holding a handkerchief to her head
Her other hand she was holding Jesus's head that broke off of his body on her dashboard
She was mumbling and slightly rocking back and forth
She must have been a religious woman
A young man was asking someone to call an ambulance ...

settles for wisdom the greater fate
hearing the echo in the corridor
your footsteps told me you're leaving
you're leaving and, my soul is shattering
my pneuma is breath of your breath
surrendering to you utterly
my vow I will follow you to my death
my dearest Adonai
if you wish it you will not see me
but like I, you can feel my movements
confession, I get close to people and you take them from me
you and the men say they aren't good enough for me
you harden their hearts against me
and take them away
I am devastated and you want to...

4 Walls and a door
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ Let's have a real sense of what is understanding, between two people's who came together to be, honest and truthful and blessed. TO finally meet someone, who knew what love, really feels like to the deepness of the, heart ❤️ and mind and thoughts. 🤔 Yet through the courses, we have to learn to journey and travel and walk together instead of alone, but with someone who wants the same things as you are seeking and searching for in your life and love and the world. 🌍 For...

BAPTISM IN THE SPIRIT
Baptism in the spirit
you can't from kin inherit.
It can only be given
by the Father in Heaven,
who sees you have repented,
your life to him presented.
Nothing else can be the plea
than his son shed blood for thee.

Unspoken
There are those times
Moments
When words have been exhausted
There's an unspoken need
That languishes between lovers
Bursting at the seams with want
Yet sitting on one's hands quietly
It's then I write you
Uncertainty waiting to hear back
Then what feels like a lifetime
You respond
Only a few words
Enough though to help me believe
It's all for something
Intimacy
Beautiful silence
An allowance to be

Overcoming Fear
It wasn’t so much the fear of what happens after death
But the constant guilt over things beyond my control
It just felt like many of the decisions I made in my youth
Were based on the premise – I was trying to save my soul
And yet for some reason it felt like something was missing
Many of the things I saw and witnessed didn’t make sense
I had lost faith and found it and lost it over and over again
And until the veil was lifted it stripped away that innocence
Then I believed I’d achieve something with a bigger purpose
Even the little...

Witnesses of a No-God
Depressevangelicals,
a curious subculture
that has emerged
over the last few decades,
represent an intriguing phenomenon
in the religious and social scene.
With depressive tendencies,
these individuals find
in the evangelical hosts a refuge
for their anxieties and frustrations,
at the same time that they seek
to impose their opinions and concepts,
often devoid of logic and coherence.
Literarily, they can be compared
to tragic characters,
whose lives are marked by an incessant
search for...

Watch and see
I'll end the war in Ukraine
within the first 24 hours
if elected president
Trump said
Day 21:
Russian troops push
toward Pokrovsk
as we speak
Trump remains silent
far too busy raging war
on our democracy
to maintain control:
commuting his militia
—J6 insurrectionists—
who'll beat police officers
and the national guard,
replacing qualified personnel
with predators and drunks
he deems loyalists,
cancelling health research

My Confession
My confession is I'm the lesson.
I take the heat, and I burn.
I'm still stressin'.
I'm not pressin'.
Don't want anything in return.
I want you messin',
With my breasts and...
I want you sectioned.
Or upturned.
My confession.
Is the lesson.
It's the word, that is the bird.
I take the heat, and I burn.
I'm still stressin'.
I'm not pressin'.
Don't want anything in return.
I want you messin',
With my breasts and...
I want you sectioned.
Or upturned.
My confession.
Is the lesson.

Hollow
You bring me down
you cast me out
I grieve again
but I'll believe again
What you don't know
(fear blinds your soul)
as you watch me go
(your walls so sure)
I'll take my light
(in loveless dark)
I'll leave you hollow
(I wish you grace)
hollow
you cast me out
I grieve again
but I'll believe again
What you don't know
(fear blinds your soul)
as you watch me go
(your walls so sure)
I'll take my light
(in loveless dark)
I'll leave you hollow
(I wish you grace)
hollow
