A God’s Trial
Pounded by waves, the longboat
pitches and rolls in the cold, angry sea;
surging swells as tall as the vessel is long
batter it non-stop,
The lone oarsman, abandoned by
his fellow sailors, holds on
(futilely?)
for dear life while struggling with
sail and rudder, battling desperately
to keep the dragonhead straight and upright
while Poseidon gives no quarter.

A Blessing I Cannot Contain
Have you ever seen a sheet of glass shatter into a million pieces, then exist iin small fragments still trying to call itself a window? No?
Well, at least the ants appreciate the break.
Then they, in return, bake pies and set them in the seal of new mornings, to remind the broken even in the small scale of things, humbleness and gratefulness matters, and there is a reason for everything under the sun.

Growing to Love
I am an old soul, but young at heart. I'm wise, but my wisdom comes from pain, grief, and mistakes I have made.
I have, no doubt, broken the hearts to those who I could have shown more mercy, but I've wounded my own heart too and sometimes I've wondered if it was even beyond repair.
I'm constantly working on myself but I'm a far cry from perfect. I am soft yet strong.
I may not have many on my side but for those I do, I carry the things they told me in confidence, to my grave.
I still hide the parts of me that I'm growing to love, but I'm growing to love more parts of...

Our Storm
Our love so strong
like two storm's that collide....
our love will take us on a wild ride...
My heart beats so fast
to the beat of the thunder...
I can't escape this spell I'm under...
My love so strong
Like the winds that cry...
Our love will carry far beyond this sky...
Your love so hot
Like lightening that burns...
For your heart I'll always yearn...
Your hold so tight
Like tree roots in the ground...
In my heart you're always found...
I one storm..
And you the other..
All we...
like two storm's that collide....
our love will take us on a wild ride...
My heart beats so fast
to the beat of the thunder...
I can't escape this spell I'm under...
My love so strong
Like the winds that cry...
Our love will carry far beyond this sky...
Your love so hot
Like lightening that burns...
For your heart I'll always yearn...
Your hold so tight
Like tree roots in the ground...
In my heart you're always found...
I one storm..
And you the other..
All we...

All Hands On Deck (Loving Thy Neighbor As Thyself)
Some snort cocaine.
Some sell their bodies.
Some smoke meth.
Me?
Dont think for one second I haven't thought about all of these options at some point in my life.
Finding God was in itself a freedom from sin and a war for my future.
The pit is dark and consuming.
Reaching for a hand that never comes, keeping faith that its all in Gods timing and one day it will. Smiling so I'm not a disease that's contagious to others trying to climb these slimy walls.
I want you to smile today, truly smile.
I want you to...
Some sell their bodies.
Some smoke meth.
Me?
Dont think for one second I haven't thought about all of these options at some point in my life.
Finding God was in itself a freedom from sin and a war for my future.
The pit is dark and consuming.

What God? Satan at least looks after his own!
By Stanley Collymore
For the past several months now
my body has quite disgustingly
and crucially, unwarrantedly
been subjected to and also likewise
felt as though it's being essentially
consistently, actually deliberately
and decidedly, clearly exultantly
as well, consciously maliciously
in this significantly discernibly
rather evident but thoroughly
manifestly totally malevolent
and similarly also effectively
egregious manner evidently
and so consciously, irksome
ongoingly, simply painfully ...

Feeling some kinda way
I felt the burn when it hit my side.
Doctors said im lucky to be alive.
Trying to make a better way, get out of strife.
Guess it doesn't go away welcome to life.

Around The Future
i spent the morning on the mountain, roaming like a drifter searching a new way to chase away my stress, and spill out the bitter spleen in my heart, striding along passing every stone, climbing each rock, hearing every bird sending his complains, filling the dead void with a thousand sighs..
the pine forest lies quite on the steep rocky plain, anchored firmly to a childhood earth, as some joyous robins and goldfinsh broke my thoughts with a twiteer and a gentle birdie scream,
Seemingly, Spring has sped some happy harbingers to hail his coming before due times:locusts...

Element
She is fire, strong uncontrollable fire
The vains in her body boil her blood
She exhales only smoke and ash
Burning her trachea on its way up
A curse, a force
But ignored
He sits, he breaths, he thinks, he handles
Both feet on a path to a logical future
His comfort is unearned confidence
Laughing at pretension and insincerity
Unsettling, admirable
But fenced
He can feel her heat
Burning and smoking through his skin
She can hear thumping
Like an earthquake shaking her ground
He now...
The vains in her body boil her blood
She exhales only smoke and ash
Burning her trachea on its way up
A curse, a force
But ignored
He sits, he breaths, he thinks, he handles
Both feet on a path to a logical future
His comfort is unearned confidence
Laughing at pretension and insincerity
Unsettling, admirable
But fenced
He can feel her heat
Burning and smoking through his skin
She can hear thumping
Like an earthquake shaking her ground

My Love For Nature
My love for nature is not unrequited for every time I see it my heart and soul gets excited…
My love of nature has always been more pleasurable than sitting with friends…
It holds no judgments, seeks no beginning nor end. It simply is and allows all that inhabits it to be…
My love for nature is of the purest kind; full of respect a feeling so sublime…
You can’t get this elsewhere you see; for nature holds many a key to set all undoubtedly free…
So much love and knowledge to gain free from depression, strife, guilt and pain… Oh, listen to...
