I'll be Your Morningstar
You threw me to the flames,
for my crime, to burn so bright.
I shine the light on the shadows you hide.
I've faced the cold you turned towards me,
so I became the thing you hate.
You held the iron to my skin,
and I burned.
I burned with the fires of hell...
...and I reveled in it.
So I'll burn.
I'll burn you down.
I rise from the flames with the fires of vengeance burning through my veins.
I'll be your Morningstar.
A shining light,
a welcoming beacon of warmth to those you threw out into the cold.
I...
for my crime, to burn so bright.
I shine the light on the shadows you hide.
I've faced the cold you turned towards me,
so I became the thing you hate.
You held the iron to my skin,
and I burned.
I burned with the fires of hell...
...and I reveled in it.
So I'll burn.
I'll burn you down.
I rise from the flames with the fires of vengeance burning through my veins.
I'll be your Morningstar.
A shining light,
a welcoming beacon of warmth to those you threw out into the cold.

Truth Cannot Be Derived From Beliefs
The acceptance of anything as true does not make it true
Your teaching is based on beliefs and hearsay
It requires proof to confirm your religious philosohpy
Knowledge can either be a fact, or it can be falsehood
A belief is the result of the absence of facts
Truth and belief are definitely not the same thing
You read or hear stories that nobody can prove
And you do not have first-hand knowledge of what happened,
Yet you proclaim that you teach the truth
People believe or doubt the things they do not know,
But if someone...

A cutup of an unnecessarily long, very long letter about myself & perceptions potentially erroneous with a long TLDR
TLDR; Hopefully not entirely solipsistic; There is sanctity in everything; Trust your experiences and your perceptions; Understand what spirituality is; rock nuns, Aleister Crowley is always interesting, religions can be good for their community (as well as for individuals who want community); What is the point of taking offense; Don't fall all over yourself in front of another person just because they are, or you think they are, "a spiritual person;" Borderline personality disorder and gender dysphoria are curses both; Don't place "spiritual" persons in a higher or different class than...

JUDAS SUTRA (abridged)
thus i have heard
that judas was born on the cusp
of Taurus and Gemini
and was therefore conflicted
and prone to bouts of
blind faith and dire pragmatism
and so was the perfect foil for the lord
who had a bold plan to save mankind
involving the transubstantiation
of ordinary human cells into a glorified state
of pure holy light that would shine like
a beacon for the lost sheep of israel and, hell,
why not for the lost sheep of every god damned nation
(that is, every nation God had damned,
which was just...

Lighthouse Keeper
No matter
how stormy life
or the world
may become,
even when life
becomes dark,
causing panic
causing pain,
there will
always be
a lighthouse,
a tower
of strength
watching
over you,
protecting you,
I am patient
I am the keeper,
and I will
always shine
the light
you need
to give you
safe passage
home.

My Views 6
Is it not true that you grew up in a community with many children of your age group?
Your parents were the first persons who introduced you to verses from the Bible
And they took you with them to church to study about God and His son, Jesus Christ
You and other kids went to school and all of you received the same level of education
When you became an adult, you chose to pursue a course in theology and Bibliology
But your peers were not interested in preaching, so they chose other professions
You convinced yourself that God called you to Christianity...

OXYGEN
In the violently
Vibrant jungle
Where oxygen
Is at its most plentiful
Neurotic capybara
Attempts to once again
Set aside the ever-
Present knowledge
That a soft and airy voice
Slides across
The rustling living floor
As if in prayer
Or perhaps a sermon
My body is a congregation
Of deeply devoted muscles
I will surround you with it
And convert you
Siren-sings the very
Persuasive anaconda
Who desires your precious
Oxygen all for itself
Vibrant jungle
Where oxygen
Is at its most plentiful
Neurotic capybara
Attempts to once again
Set aside the ever-
Present knowledge
That a soft and airy voice
Slides across
The rustling living floor
As if in prayer
Or perhaps a sermon
My body is a congregation
Of deeply devoted muscles
I will surround you with it
And convert you
Siren-sings the very
Persuasive anaconda
Who desires your precious
Oxygen all for itself

If it Weren't For God
Well if it weren't for God
I'd still be in love..
and I'd still be a child
sweet as the rain,
bold and unafraid-
If it weren't for God
I would be alive
not a sin, nor a vice
just and freed, a Wild Heart,
the dance on summer's light
And if it weren't for God
My old friends would be here
my family would love me
the lovers of my youth would hold me
and we would live without fear
but it's because of God
that the lovers of my past
shook their heads
my father raged and he...
I'd still be in love..
and I'd still be a child

And if it weren't for God

..i spy..
Webs of white blue and green
With fuzz and sheen
Your days of glory are gone
Moldiest mandarin

The Diatessaron
Is giving me
A headache,
Throwing me
For a loop.
Indeed the more
We learn the
Less we know
About the Bible
Its make-up
And its history.
Is giving me
A headache,
Throwing me
