FORGIVENESS
NEEDED
I've always heard that
even angels make mistakes
and everyone guesses
that the devil does all
the time. I know I, hopefully,
fall somewhere between
these two entities. I would
dare to make a guess that
we all do, not an accusation,
just a thought.
If it is true that the best
and worst of us makes mistakes
it must follow that we all,
at one time or another, need
forgiveness. I see that
the line at the confession booth
is long but I will patiently wait.
HOW ABOUT YOU?

Casting Pearls Before Swine
Dreadful ones who got the pardon slithering in dark makeshift hot worlds
Bedazzling alibis summonses in belief to snare empresses to fizzle out the unfurl
Deceit plays in the tinier of the ill begot
Reign as sovereign of the blackness below lessened unto evil spirit as thots
In your dreams, your mind, your book of revelations keeps running to the light when hell is getting too hot
High above the blowing breeze I give the meaning to life to petals embedded, stems to sow
Will always...
Bedazzling alibis summonses in belief to snare empresses to fizzle out the unfurl
Deceit plays in the tinier of the ill begot
Reign as sovereign of the blackness below lessened unto evil spirit as thots

High above the blowing breeze I give the meaning to life to petals embedded, stems to sow
Will always...

Moral Code
So I scaled back a bit
You know
I can’t complain about the fire
if I added a little bit of the fuel myself
I mean
How often do we stop to admire the flames
Like car crash
(Lookie Loos)
We slow down to see the damage
but we may cause another wreck just the same
Perhaps this is where I decide to become a little more…
What’s the word?
Reserved?
Selective?
You know
When we pick and choose our battles
I can’t be a jack of all trades
when I’m trying to master one ...

Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy
I want to talk of a tale
A story that's been a shadow
Been with me
For ever so long now
It's not a shadow of joy
It's more a knawing of despair
That shoves its unwanted head
At me every now n then
Have you felt the hypocrisy
In this, I voice my own
Predjuiced view, not of others
My bone of contention
Lays within the catholic religion
So much to say
About this outdated persuction
This abomination
These tyrants of destruction
They who lay their crooked laws
...

turning a point on its head
some say heaven
is what you
make of
it
then hell must be for
those with great
imaginations

New Religion
New religion
Your body is my religion at your Sacred place I've come to pray, I kneel before your alter, bringing offerings today
My stanzas are my offerings, I hope you see their blessed, trying to say how you make me feel or at least know I've done my best
Each word crafted by my heart, carefully laid out in a line, prayers to you my Goddess, written out in rhyme
Testaments of devotion, sent out into the great unknown, promises of my feelings, carved out of my heart that once was stone
Now it beats once more, you've brought it back...

A succinct, though vaguely fuzzy, definition of one who is a witch
She operates with her spirituality through the application of magical techniques
(Apologies for the gendered use of "She*")

God et all
I was taught there is a God
I wasn't taught how to believe
So when people preach
I turn off
Things have happened where I could believe
Yet they could be coincidence
I believe in the power of prayer
The recipient doesn't matter
Often I say it's to my toaster
Sometimes I pray in the shower
I'm careful whom I say that to....

NUDITY, THEOLOGY, FEMININITY
Did not God think it 'VERY good'
when he had made first humans nudd?
'Male and female He created',
His father heart demonstrated,
Naked and without any shame
of their divinely finished frame.
It was that pesky little snake
who got folk 'shamed of bits that shake
and would have had them cover up
the parts God made to help them 'tup'
and, in woman's case, suckle young
upon the breasts on top half hung.
To those who down the ages blame
women for man's fall, I'd cry 'Shame!
You've been barking up the wrong tree ...

solitude is a c**t
silent prayers said to the cobwebs maybe they'll catch them inside the hurt
I cry bitterly I don't know who the hell I am in the breaking dawn
this world isn't one I recognize and I'm not either
the brittle truth is falling apart
we pick reality from the empties
we are emptier still believing platitudes while we fade
heil to the new world
we believe we're getting somewhere
all the while we drift further into our solitude
I cry bitterly I don't know who the hell I am in the breaking dawn
this world isn't one I recognize and I'm not either
the brittle truth is falling apart
we pick reality from the empties
we are emptier still believing platitudes while we fade
heil to the new world
we believe we're getting somewhere
all the while we drift further into our solitude
