Simply A Saving Grace

 Some things fade into oblivion

never to be seen again.


I remember everything

from the bottom to the top

of breaking this ancient

family curse.


Do I look like a savior to you?

I am Simply A Saving Grace,

which is not always exchanged.


I change for the good of humanity

and it’s frightening to see

what people wish upon me.


I am no idol, no genius,

no factor in your living journey.


I am face first, falling into pieces

to put together again.

Undisturbed

 Synchronized city

two thoughts alike

damage, unmanaged

to fix a broken soul.


Behind your eyes,

I see

the torture of public scrutiny

pass as we relax.


Undisturbed by a living regret,

I will not waiver

in darkness of favor.


I’m always right,

I win the fight.


The best thing

about being free

is knowing what I have,

and what it means to me.

Eve’s Thumb

 Perhaps Eve was Adam’s pet,

I like to think the opposite.


Adam was wrapped

around Eve’s Thumb,

or the other way around,

or both wrapped up in each other.


Eve memorized the manual,

like a trip to the lost and found.


If you can’t find your own item,

you take what you like

and leave the rest in it’s beloved nest

of piled up items that forever grows.


The two work together

for the good of the weather.


Conquering every storm

with the hope to achieve

and complement one another.


His Spirit

 Growing closer to God every day.


I found enlightenment

in an abandoned church

for sale, a nominal fee.


A place gifted

with God’s glory.


The sanctuary for the broken

hand of the Almighty.


His Spirit’s internal decree

to fight, clear of free.


So, humanity, can’t you see

the eternal plea

of life and liberty?


No time to spare, no room for doubt,

life’s eternal span is near.


There is no fear of affection

like the abstract mind

of artistry so blind

to end our agony.


Unseasoned Danger

 The tread of tires

abruptly come to a halt

after a brief bike ride.


To the side,

so picturesque:


A towering high-rise

of broken windows.


Broken dreams

of haunted delight

pass as adolescence

takes hold

with mild curiosity.


Unseasoned Danger

is harmless, right?


Mischief never thought clarity

could fall through the floor,

but curiosity

could take no more.


Questions, questions,

so many questions 

left unanswered.


Only one child left to explore

this ghostly house with power,

character, and the might

to befuddle even the most

innocent minds.


Unwind to find

an abandoned story

left for history

despite:


The very right

to stand and collapse

on demand.

I’ll Pray

 I’ll preach

when I want to reach

your soul.


Turn it inside-out,

clean it whole.


You’re not what you

appear to be

so sit down

and speak with me.


You’re not a waste

do NOT give to haste.


Sad and sullen

sulking in bad past regret.


You choose your path

and I’ll Pray you don’t reap

Fury’s Wrath.


A Stable State

 I am faceless,

I take on all cultures

that appeal to me.


Social situations

sewing a season.


Sation-

A Stable State

for growing a garden

in modern Eden.


Paper dolls to bury,

new life to carry,

no matter how

big or small.


Life declared

that I

deserve it all.

Planted On God’s Knee

 Would you believe I saw life in squiggly lines

and evolution?


I held out with purpose

to understand

a primordial benefit

to God’s plan.


But who can understand God

and His infinite glory?


Certainly not myself,

or I would succumb

to faith’s diversion.


Planted On God’s Knee

I sat ready to hear

the end to my life’s story.


But God Himself said to me,

“You’re open ended darling.”

Reason

 Don’t let your

need to die

be

bigger than your

will to live.


I do love you

and there are

times when it is simply

too painful to admit.


Always reach your hand

in my busy direction,


I WILL ALWAYS MAKE TIME

TO HEAR YOUR SWEET VOICE!


I am an arbitrary

means of Reason.

Pretty Sure

 To Sincerity,


 Just listen

to the music

and you will see-


how life is NOT

all it’s cracked up to be.


I am without a care

unless I’m being careful.


Can you be too careful?


Yes, and no too, an achoo

and a bless you.


I love you and I hope

you love me too.


I’m Pretty Sure you do.

Nonsense

 He said he was broken

with or without his sobriety.


I’m left to listen to the drivel

and aftermath

of every bad decision

he laid out to me.


I tell him the truth,

dare to make him see

why his words are complete

Nonsense to me.


To him:

I do not think.

I cannot think.

I am brainless.

I am spineless.


The Snake

 I’ve been alone

for a long time, kid.


Manipulation,

sexual deviation.


A man of few words

crept his way in

-to my personal sin. . .


A concept of innocence

destroyed by

The Snake of curiosity


in a place of thinning faith.
