Awash in the darkened sea A dragon languishing on my chest I call the slayer near to me And beg he come and do his best. But he lies still upon the beach And gazes at the morning sun Waiting for God's will to come seek The dying princess to be his one. Come slayer... Continue Reading →
It’s Beautiful, Tom
She opened her eyes wide and melted Into the beauty of her treasured life. "It's beautiful, Tom." she said, "Full of love!" The lines forbade him forgetting himself. He was a painter of the cherished home. One who watched the charmed life of the village, And his sorrow melded into tenderness. A hymn to the... Continue Reading →
Death is the Road to Awe
The Road to Awe Death is the road to awe What ne’er living beings saw Death is road less traveled Solely when life unraveled. Death is a time for peace Whose comforting silence gains release Death is the darkest sign Of time to come with no time. Awe is a road who fear... Continue Reading →
All Above(A Soft Sweet Love)
Wisps of clouds bud orange, blue, white, Here are soft layers that fly They stretch below me, soft love below me in the sky, Fading, misting, my window to the lights.

And in Suffering, Consider

Night-time Medley
The Cello's wand is gliding through My waiting heart, impatient and so still. His chorus joined by hands on keys wakes you To open fibers of my heart to spill. You touch me in this melody mourning, Embracing the sorrow, for you're away, Gone in darks of night, mayhap beast slaying, Yet slaying me while... Continue Reading →
If
"He's not coming" Said the devil on my shoulder. "Just you wait" Said the angel at my side. "He loves me" Said the face in the mirror Just before she started to cry.
