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...
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

you and the men say they aren't good enough for me
you harden their hearts against me
and take them away

The Struggle is Real Sometimes, Brother
Or so it's what I choose to believe,
clearing all those hurdles of contrast
nonchalantly blocking our way.
Go around! Rise above! Dig under!
some would say; in all honesty. . .
I've ignorantly advised the same.
But, there are times mountain heights
are too much for fledgling wings—
not to mention bordering ravines,
their eager throats swallowing missteps;
and, don't discount the solid-rock base
bending the sharpest shovel's blade.
No, not all advice is sound nor sage;
'maybe...

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

RHYMING EASTER GREETING
Happy Easter, one and all!
Join in the "He is risen!" call.
Out of the tomb He's standing tall;
The grave could be no prison wall.
The stone-roll angel did appal
The guarding soldiers. One and all
Did in a dead faint simply fall.
They lay loose as a crumbled wall.*
The babe laid in the manger stall
Is now the risen Lord of All.
We may shun or follow His call;
"You who follow shall not fall."
* "...the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His...

Spiritual Awakening
TO BE GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL AND BLESSED YET WHY is it that there is ways to go to escape, from the negativity and drama, but yet it doesn't matter what you think 🤔 and still feel. For sure we have to learn to truly navigate, through the process of the SUBCONSCIOUSNESS OF THOSE THINGS. THAT SEEMS TO JUST DRAW US IN SO many LEVELS OF CONTROL OVER US. YET I have found what I need to sustain life 🙏 for it's the truth of the nonsense that doesn't matter 😔 but yet it does sometimes. 🤨 For sure everything that we have to go through, is precious to life that sometimes...

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.
It's the word, that is the bird.

The Crystal of Love
Something touched the soul deeply
when seeing her in the Eddas,
something magical, an ineffable charm.
Eir, the sublime figure,
in the heart of an epic tale
bathed in light and mysticism.
Your look, a promise of healing,
of wisdom and courage.
The Valkyries, celestial warriors,
are the symbol of strength,
of courage, of kindness.
Eir, above all, an emanation of grace.
I love her because she is a divine mystery,
a link between the world of men and the gods.
It is the reverence for beauty,

By Divine Command
By divine command we’ve been told to take this land
And it doesn’t matter who is already there
Because a greater power has told us that it is ours
It’s a directive that sounds right and fair…
And yet something weighs heavy on my conscience
To see that many innocent people dying on the streets
Seeing families being forced out from their homes
Women and children searching for something to eat
Like the homeless man who comes by the neighborhood
Digging through the trash in the rain and mist
Being pushed out by the cops because he...

Fireflies of the Mind
"Hope is the last thing ever lost" - Italian proverb
Hope.
And what if it is lost.
Call to it to come back.
It will come even in the face
of terminal blackness.
Walk into the ravaging dark.
Fall apart so that you may find,
Those long lost moments that made you shine.
The fireflies of the mind.
That flashing glow somehow soothes
things gone out of control.
Save one in a jar in your soul.
Hope.
The magic light that ignites internal growth.
Hope.
And what if it is lost.
Call to it to come back.
It will come even in the face
of terminal blackness.
Walk into the ravaging dark.
Fall apart so that you may find,
Those long lost moments that made you shine.
The fireflies of the mind.
That flashing glow somehow soothes
things gone out of control.
Save one in a jar in your soul.
Hope.
The magic light that ignites internal growth.
