Strategy
There are always decisions to be made
Temptations loom
and resistance is futile
I choose to give in
to that which threatens only me
Save my strength
to resist
that which would spill over onto you
It's the closest to balance
I can achieve
Temptations loom

Frontlines
I was enlisted in a battle
I should have never fought
This war was created by you
Over silly insecurities and for what
I told you to bring the pain
Bring the tears
Bring the joys
Bring all the fears
You added to this list I must fight
You brought anger into this plight
I was on the front lines
Doing what I needed to do
Throwing every arsenal, I have
Just to get through to you
If I had already lost this war
Why even walk across my line
If there is someone else out there
Willing to...
I should have never fought
This war was created by you
Over silly insecurities and for what
I told you to bring the pain
Bring the tears
Bring the joys
Bring all the fears
You added to this list I must fight
You brought anger into this plight
I was on the front lines
Doing what I needed to do
Throwing every arsenal, I have
Just to get through to you

Why even walk across my line
If there is someone else out there

Mercy
The first blow ripped me open
strips of leather
with bone and glass and lead balls tied to their ends
like fingers of Satan clawing and shredding.
The second blow came quick
goat bone ripping my flesh like raw meat.
The third, fourth, and fifth came so fast
powerful numbing blows so vicious and violent
gashing and tearing skin and muscles, gouging my body
the swirling wind filling the air with the taste of iron
I want to scream, wishing it never was ,knowing it had to be.
The hurt so real,...

Aztec Sacrifice
His masters tell him, “Don’t lock gaze with feminine eyes. The pit of fire lies deep and hungry like an eclipsed sun whose darkness drives both human and animal mad with black crystal visions to blind the male with the smoking coals of night.”
And the palace of his childhood dreams shakes with earthquakes from unseen fault lines of the fairer sex. Prepubescent lesson one is that female felicitation of form and gravity is evanescent as the morning mist before a summer’s day. Soft curves slope into the pits of depravity from which there is no escape. The...

unconditionally yours
in desolation, I weep inside
all my love for you
there couldn't; be another
it matters not how dark you are
I will still reach up and choose the same star
within my memories, I hold true
I'm not giving up on you
you listen to all my complaints
tears come only for you
don't say goodbye
you've done your best with my mind
listening to internal chatter must drain you
when do you rest?
I must confess my thoughts don't stop
suffering is a part of us
my heart aches when yours does
I am so insensitive ...
all my love for you
there couldn't; be another
it matters not how dark you are
I will still reach up and choose the same star

I'm not giving up on you
you listen to all my complaints
tears come only for you
don't say goodbye
you've done your best with my mind
listening to internal chatter must drain you
when do you rest?
I must confess my thoughts don't stop
suffering is a part of us
my heart aches when yours does
I am so insensitive ...

One More Blessing
Everyday I sow a seed
for those like me who are in need
and from the good book i read
to show myself approved indeed
That I might walk in the light
when my steps are ordered right
I am one more blessing away
from living in a brand new way
So at midnight and noon i pray
that tomorrow will be that day
My mind and body are weak
the word is the strength i seek
If i walk by faith and not by sight
I can navigate thru my darkest night
and if I AM's hand is with me
i can defeat the enemy ...
