You were the one who told me of creatures Split in two for being too powerful. You were the one who conjured me seer, And filled my recognition overfull. But in the moment you scorned the story, Highlighting what Plato said that denied The magnificence of this love-majesty. Yet it returned to me in love... Continue Reading →
Grace come down?
The notes began to play what I could be, if I just give myself to my own self, I can do what's bad, that's within me, If I leave a life that put me on a shelf. But I'm fighting to wait, I'm fighting for day Even when the night just seems longer, Even as... Continue Reading →
The Lights
Stop. I had to cry out as the lament began. It stopped. I had to find what was left in me again. It's coming. A beckoning cry began to say, I'm lonely, A little voice quietly starts to pray. Stop. That's where I said it hurts too much to say... But the flood doesn't stop... Continue Reading →
The Terror
There you are. When I said I saw you Standing there alone...I lied. But now, Now it's true, and you are standing here, new, Alone and different, distant, somehow. Maybe it's because you're not really here, Just here in the throes of my memory. You stand alone, looking at me, seer Of all that I... Continue Reading →
In the Darkness
My jaw set in that past midnight hour, And in that moment I think you then knew, That something you had said had gone quite sour, And something in me had risen 'gainst you. What you didn't know was the one white kiss, That passed between your mind to what's my own, When I found... Continue Reading →
A Mission
The pen rises again as I lay still, Worn through by the thoughts and whispers of life, Taunting me to find my dragons to kill, Laughing at my desire to escape strife. Resting in the arms one who made me, I ask if there could be a tender day, Where His princess could wellprotected be,... Continue Reading →
The Greats of Imagination
The ages saw one who true-lived his heart, Unashamed and diligent he was. He baited from within the deepest part, And pulled it forth, as the fisherman does. Another accompanied him sometime, Seeming to agree with most of his thought, But his structure was then revealed in rhyme, A picket fence around the albatross. The... Continue Reading →
The City on a Hill
Clanging in the night's clasp, light claws ashore, Imaging forth in iridesce through illustrious war Ages aspire, the aspiring wake, To thwart the thoughtful, the Theos in them take. As the mess of mayhem makes them die, The whispered ones arise and are made light, As one above awakens, kindles A new sight.
A Praised Man
He came to walk amidst the crowds, But then he died, ascended, rose. In doing so he left a shroud, And a book of layered prose. We read it analogical, Allegorical and more, Some men threaten with its evil, Others proclaim glory's roar. Yet there are those who hear them all, And wonder at the... Continue Reading →
A Need for Praise
The need for praise arises in mankind, And manifests itself as horror evil. The spirit wavers in fear, feeling blind, For all the trials drained-he is tired still. The emptiness of what was bad is gone, For that the human heart trembles anew, That is what made the weary drained one, And made him still... Continue Reading →
