small prayers
I rest a prayer on your heartbeat
like it's a breath of life
a breath of hope
and not just a reflection
of my own desperation
that keeps watching you
chase bad dreams
like there is a high
in there somewhere
if you just inhale hard enough
I place a prayer on my restless mind
and ask to dream of you
but the drugs that kill
the insomnia
bar the gateway to dreams
and instead I sleep like the dead
in empty nothingness
your face just elusive in the dark ...

and ask to dream of you
but the drugs that kill

bar the gateway to dreams
and instead I sleep like the dead

Eternity is a long time.
I hope there is no afterlife
At least none that lasts forever
Which is silly in itself as time is a human construct and so is forever and infinity.
First digression....damn I'll try and stay on topic.
I hope there is no afterlife
Where we get to spend forever with those we love.
Which is silly in itself as love is also a human construct .
Second digression....damn I'll try and stay on topic.
Three digressions and I'm out.
Some fabulous people I've met in my life.
Not least of them being...

Ancient words of wisdom
Don't bring me any peace of mind
Just telling me my thoughts are wrong
And pointing me in some ghostly direction
Is not what I can get my mind behind
I am absolutely not a blind follower
If you really wanted me to go along with that
You should never have given me an education
I will find my own truth
Don't bring me any peace of mind
Just telling me my thoughts are wrong
And pointing me in some ghostly direction
Is not what I can get my mind behind
I am absolutely not a blind follower
If you really wanted me to go along with that
You should never have given me an education
I will find my own truth

A BORN AGAIN
I was a clumsy boy with no balance
No one ever tried to teach me grace, not even myself.
I tried to runaway but the load was too weighty on my soul,
Sins, i carried them to where i dwelled, Golgotha.
Can i give it up all? A question that had death as an answer.
I called names and shouted rage
Nothing nice came out of me as i feared people, not you Lord
I laid my hope on a deity that could perish of old age.
I sinned, actions so akin to pleasure .
I had questions, i needed wisdom
Why does salvation sound like starvation?

Respite Under Arches
O house of splendor, temple divine
With vaults that in gilded radiance shine!
Thy arches soar, as prayers take flight
To pierce the veil of the eternal night
Thy pillars, twelve, as prophets of old
Proclaim the truths in stories told
Each stone a witness, each wall a creed
To Him who hath met our every need
The rose-hued glass, in splendor bright
Transforms the sun to heavenly light
Its beams cascade in hallowed streams
As angels sing of sacred dreams
The sacred font, in marble hewn
Doth whisper of the coming...
With vaults that in gilded radiance shine!
Thy arches soar, as prayers take flight
To pierce the veil of the eternal night
Thy pillars, twelve, as prophets of old
Proclaim the truths in stories told
Each stone a witness, each wall a creed
To Him who hath met our every need
The rose-hued glass, in splendor bright
Transforms the sun to heavenly light
Its beams cascade in hallowed streams
As angels sing of sacred dreams
The sacred font, in marble hewn
Doth whisper of the coming...

Opportunistic Carnivorism
I stood there and watched a shroud.
Of nature.
Reveal the universe to me.
As the magpipe ate a pigeon.
I reflected on my.
Assumptions.

Incomplete Myth of a Goddess that Does Not Exist.
Shapska, a name bruited in the dark corners
of forgotten realms where murk
cotillion with the remnants of lost souls.
In the heart of this desolate place Shapska reigns,
a deity of crooked love and morbid allure.
Her touch, both a blessing and a curse,
weaves through the fabric of actuality,
binding the living and the dead in an eternal grasp.
In the silence of the night,
Shapska's presence is felt,
a cold surge stroke that sends
jitters down the spine.
Her eyes, like double voids,

I who have sent out names of ravens
inner murmur from eloquence given
diviners rune fate song
hidden mirrors open wilde
wise eyes with only words
I quench beastly thirsts
bird flights spell smiths
fish flights swirling
winds
behold this basking beauty
unwinding coiled verses
from flapping wings
ravens open flights
flocking aurochs

my eyes are yours
we travel through time
through space
through one another
touching inside and out
turning a nano second
into forever
as we fade together
never ending
always beginning
through space
through one another
touching inside and out
turning a nano second
into forever
as we fade together
never ending
always beginning
