Mom, she whispers sweetly, you will die
But I will robe your family in our light
And dress you in my garment when you rise
A witness to the world that you were mine

For now the day is long and bravely won
Tears for rest and slavery to debt
Patiently you take the whip of grace
And pray with blood for one you call beloved

Maybe I’m still young, but You know me
My mind has not been kind, and I receive
A month of punishment in every hour
If death should come to me, I would not flee
…

The devil is a scientist of hate
He takes a human whole and sifts a piece
To curse the gift, at strongest point to break
And tortures us to turn us into beasts

But we will not stay broken with the Lord
Who turns the weakest sons into the Kings
Together and apart our love grows on
Both winds of joy and sorrow victory bring

Witness sin’s regard all you who seek it
In compromise our Gospel will not take
No light can ship with death and not deceive
To learn this mercy burns a painful fate

In the fire and the darkness Master guilds
A dagger Satan’s hammer underrates
So when the season shifts to kingdom build
I’ll be a base that for us never shakes

…

Remember Mother all I saw in her?
Beauty true as second revelation
The aweful mystery of God Himself
For her renouncing every other pleasure

A girl who often lost her faith in me
Though I to her the gifts of Jesus gave
A full moon over other women stars
Her aura in the night guiding my way

Would you Mother send her just a rose?
A flower from my garden of your grace
And tell her how I miss her presence so
Whose constellation on this day is named

…

Lend me Your magic in these words to paint
New rainbows over memories I keep
Too many colors tragedy doth take
Its waterfall of words eroding me

Forgive me Father if I overstep
This vision that you gave me doesn’t look
It wants to leap to Love without respect
Of time, where builds the bond for You to brook

The border closed its door just as I crossed
The fruit looked better from my innocence
I couldn’t know the consequence I caused
Still I fall, still I fall, Your joyful fault

Her gentle cross still burdens me each day
For sanctity my happiness exchanged
I pray each day she follows in Your way
Complete my joy by making her a saint

I lay in ashes sweet as Joan had done
In phoenix fire dying at the start
Crafter’s son with oakly stubborn love
My desert heart her Irish iris sparks

O sweetest breath I took in sight of her
So long at sea and finally set home
I bore her all my jewels of love and truth
Whose value youth refutes with shallow blows

On eve of open lung to me she called
From mount to mount we moved in easy steps
She walked to me and passed between my walls
To meet my child in his holy rest

Two open doors restored us childlike
Into Helen’s pew disposed to Love
You folded time to show us each an island
Where we could be together and apart

Reflections so much less than sight reveal
Yet fooled by semblance many seekers are
And in this instance under covered seal
I thought You opened knowledge never ours

Now in the shadow of Your wings I sail
Patient trembling over oceans turning
In and out of storms who each assail, me
past the point where dies my youthful yearning

Your son undone so crawls and begs for grace
Humbled under soaring judgment’s roaring
Led not by light but of a new moon face
Her flowers free on sunny-side to flourish

Forgetting time now let my body bound
Collecting from the ground what comes to fruit
Humming hands in weak but steady sound
To heaven reaching, water me at root

Too small to ask for all I need to mend
But certain in the call to have communion
So nakedly I pray You send a friend
Father’s star in time arise to muse her

No faithless thought or wayward will can rest
Upon her memory, I must protect
Even she does not yet see herself as best
Embodying the Queen who we confess

A stone grown soft in heaven Mason hands
Transforming boys to sons, and sons to Man

…

Healing people
Age regardless
Back to children
Root of faith
A garden young
Young as Love
In freedom only choose
Our Lady truth

Alone together
Together apart
Through the furnace
On the wire
Only by His grace
What color do our
spirits make?

She is mercy
She is hope
She wakes to His same call
Time meets us each
With ready feet
To walk across the wall
Unbound

Inner chamber
Adoration
With her eyes now I everywhere see flowers
Lamb for feast
Censor lit
God presents us
As a finished piece

Removed the mark
With burden gone
New suffering
In joy, for long
The best of me
I see with her
The saint

Gravel road
To wedded friends
Art and letter
Peace of night
Treasured temple
Creation
Light

Sacred Heart
Consuming fire
Burning in
And outward moving
All desire
Meeting, tuning
Singing

The final flame
I know her name
Flow and rain
Mother change
Feeder
Unrestrain
Me

Moonstruck mornings
One-sided words
Scales of decision
Hinder deserves

Hand in the cradle
Held to her heart
From wedding to wedding
Till heaven depart

Time apart
The heart posses
Where Bears Mark
Music sang in forest
Come together
Tender friendship
Relational the same

All my dreams
In you complete
Our children
Will save the world

Family the future saints
All the culture needs
Educated to be free

Desire meeting desire
God leading her to me
I pray she hears and hear she does
From lips not made she listens

Hard of heart unknowing
Of the devils trick
I almost let her slip
And saw the death that I would die with her

But blessed by grace so sensitive
We’re saved again and I am grown
In lessons learned and in reliance more

Each time she seeks to go
I let her water flow
The moon eclipses
In darkness seek to quench His thirst

And each time she may not return
I feel the loss already real
Patience the gift He forges me
Was just the one to set her free
And still in love be one

How shall her garden grow?
Abruzzo each a quarter home
And in our presence all around
It snows

In love, in Love, I pray she find herself
Soul royal born to set a special fire
On the hilltop forging iron virgins
In suns the mother’s wonder sires

Justice, his fist around us grasped to lose
“Hasten children, to my mercy’s service
Your pieces to the places I approve
My grace can take you further than deserved”

“To pass the gate now let your future go
Fill your garden with my chosen flowers
To grow into sweet love’s desire whole
Your lips keep sipping from my streams of power”

“As I scathe your meadows wheat, take my peace
No drop of blood forgotten, do not fear
Your voided cup becomes my chalice mead
Your broken mental vessel I will steer”

When finally her eyes into me reached
The slave I am was freed by her regard
So long unseen and surfacely received
Now trusted truly in her graceful arms

Many times I tried to tell the tale
Sister loves of every color painted
Those sloppy strokes were caught into His swale
The story this time God directly aided

Lily’s bloom and beckon with a scent
To visit her and carry her to home
Blessed remembrance; in air innocence
Collected in a vase by Ancient Rome

These are flowered trees of high degree
But she the garden where they thrive and feed

She cried for me my friend awhile
Healing gathered over anxious mind

Space was taken further than before
Until a final choice was forced to make
Two roads she traveled over simultane
Freedom now most difficult attained

The father’s word to her will give us peace
These words that I remember now believed

Secure at first but time the trickster took
Away the words that bridged between us truth
So from one side I loved without connect
And made an idol of a crumbled road

Hard the discipline that I deserved
Long the lesson of a running man
Hopefully emotion now can grow
To listen to the Father’s leading hand

...
​
Not my mother
Not the temptress
Not the judge
Not my God

I clung to cloak while bleeding
Like a lover of brave faith
And listened through a wailing wind
To find my life again renewed

Much intercession, still increased
As less and less my own disease
Till perfect as the Father I may die
And be together with them all

Thank you for the trial
Thank you for the patience
Thank you for the devil’s wrath
And thank you for our Love’s reward

A simple man
With no great plan
But to labor
With faith for fruit

A lonely soul
In humble role
With love created
for a queen

Your face is painted on a canvas
Set at random in my eyes

Her touch though modest
Holds me through my desolation

For each receiving of your presence
Leaves me seeing revelations

When you leave your presence echoes
Through my being like a hymn

You carry Christ to me
As Mary with her child

...

A different story now awaits refute
What I need is what I get: I accept
Those mission trips, remember how I grew
My emptiness is life with God’s respect

Scourged by time to learn a lonely lesson
Too close to screen I leaned when in her arms
Red repentance here the most intensive
Murder treatment trains my sheep to shepherd

This love unreal was not but a reminder
Of eternal bond that never sunders
The bad in her turned poison to my child
The space allowed the bridge to burn too long

Neediness and narcissist at end eclipsed
Each other from the healing rays of Son
Never reached the better Christian friendship
As trust was emptied by no signs of love

I see the ancient eyes on Christmastide
Now dance on sea of sky for me to find
My family by Heavens light reminds
Me of the man I was before the crime

I never loved the idol in my mind
That was not why I offered up the gift
The only thing I asked was simple tries
With Love I bore the barren childishness

But nevermore will I play Hollywood
That lie now lies so deep beneath my earth
​Humility will better serve us both
His leadership would teach us how to hurt

Jesus feeds us more than what we need
All He asks is our committed hearts
This is kingship at the Spirit root
I must die for Love and join the stars

O sacred arrow, shot by God
And rested in my chest awhile
What pulled you out?
Although you left this hole in me
You’ra holy soul I still believe
And never doubt

Green arrow sketching Jesus' dreams
To palaces of kings and queens
I lift you up
At first my rib you pierced with peace
Both you and I sought no release
What spilled our cup?

Sweet arrow speared me to the root
You conquered me with gratitude
And shook my bones
Now teaching me the deepest truth
And bleeding out my widest wound
With God alone

Broken arrow, I fight within
That wind that you are flying in
More than you know
In all our weakness God was strong
I set no limit on how long
To mend and grow

Sister arrow, we lost our sync
For reasons not what mortals think
I’m black and blue
The choice was yours to take this course
Be not afraid to have remorse
Our bond is true

Graceful arrow, I did falter
In bringing flowers to your altar
With no mission
But daren’t compare our love to lust
Your presence much preferred to touch
To beauty listen

You burned me arrow; flamed my fire
To wear my saint as sole desire
And now I blaze
For prophecy that you inspire
The treasure for us I acquire
Will never fade

Royal arrow, rising star
No burden here, my weight is God’s
A Joseph child
More passion takes to trust than chase
Believe me back into your grace
I lead now right

Beautiful arrow jeweled by Christ
Sweet friend from heaven sacrificed
Be born anew
You are too free for me to find
Your height too high for me to climb
I’ll wait for you

Until I feel your brightness shine
Into my eyes from yours Divine
I’ll look to sky
And send my heart on wings to tell
With Love, my angel arrow dwell
In this dark night

Hush now voices torturing
I cast you out
Through quiet work I silence thee
Through patient pain my Savior meet
I'll teach you how

First turn away from self disdain
Picture your love
Now build a home for her to dwell
Inside your heart an endless well
To draw out love

As we pray so we desire
Request your need
From God and live in low attire
To give her what you first acquire
Humility

Oh silent man I honor you
Protect my love
Apprentice me in shadow's shop
To hold her in His freedom locked
We disappear

The Father placed a promise in his heart
A pearl seed elusive to his reach
Through forest fields falling as an art
‘Till time encrypted it in grass beneath
 
To darkened garden refuge fled the child
In search of what he was and who he loved
Lost in place where God awakes in wild
His tears unearthed the pearl faithful son
 
The song that brought him rest came from her voice
The light that broke the dark came from her face
All flashed his beauty’s past, sent from her source
Her warmth, the rising sun of God’s embrace
 
A sister was the promise made to he
Great slavery to be her garden tree

​I miss you like a sword into my wound
That twists and opens pain I cannot shake
I die to see again your beauty’s truth
And pray my love unchains you as I break
 
My pain contains a flower to unfold
Inside your garden sealed if you choose
The only way to send this special rose
Is passing through the Lord to enter you
 
Yet I’m the sword in He, I’m learning now
And mine a mercy’s portion of the sin
Unguarded hearts receive the lonely crown
Virgin flesh never deserves its sentence
 
My victim sowed in love and so escapes
For you I laid this life that God remakes

Love the teacher leads two brothers blue
Through the thicket of the wicked world
Pierced and weighed yet unafraid to lose
Poets trained to dance in tempest twirl

Emerald angel soothes their battle bruise
A wound made weapon, shaped in nature’s house
The garden grave they tilled to bloom with Truth
A cross they shared unveiled the destined spouse

As steel to steel their sharpened spirits race
With hearts unguarded from the sword of fate
No thorn or sin so great can break their faith
For on the mountain feast they eat with saints

Brothers in arms with hardened hands to pray
Behold them molding Christ in souls of clay

​Hear the story: child urned internal
Drawn by gates of words to their events
Through sonnet series faces of a learner
The writer is the reader who repents
 
Starlight tracing roses over darkness
She the mystic Mary, each of us
To beauty more than science Spirit harkens
God knows joy will teach the better trust
 
Generations favor knightly commits
Flying straight to crater Love’s embrace
Virgins quiet climax channels children
In breach of desert washes rivers race
 
Here, Father God and Mother Church estates
Stitching psyche faster than she breaks
 
Magic metal in his corpus coursing
An orchestrated volt from out his eyes
Its phantom photons reach to Eden courting
Lighting love through secret sacrifice
 
His weakness though might ask for recognition
And vanity become its own reward
So slowly traveled truth to inner list’ner
Through passion’s passage to his work and word
 
Satan’s angels crowd around his choices
Their curses hit to strip and crucify
An agony of quartered sorcer voices
Hell descent will well amend the lie
 
He is a wizard casting on himself
A spell that is his priesthood fully felt
 
Emotion’s moat will logic float if spiritual
And form the water lane to quiver named
Doubt or faith will weigh as weight will pull
Naked body bricks through persons paved
 
The priest and not the mother sees the beast
Who steals the child's face to wear as mask
Blame the babe and miss the monster, she
needs the priestly touch to map the task
 
His subtle teaching smooths the leader’s hand
To point or press or hold or hang his sons
Lest idleness will otherwise unman
And reason gnostic demons overrun
 
The shaman son in arc his sacred shows
A child sage will break the snake of old
 
Envision we are castles, all of us
Pray rocks to jewels in living as a treasure
Our walls are made of love, just dust in light
Sheiks of speech in lonely kingdoms cure
 
Her heart was armed for flight so predisposed
By palm-ed press from master architect
She hovs above the principles she hosts
No sooner counted gain, her whim resets
 
Fragile as a glass of pastel sight
Ungraspable but aching for his action
Hold her and behold her truth polite
Let passion’s accident mete reasons ration
 
The mother is to lover foot to peak
Drawing in by reverencing her reach
 
More sensitive to manners than to core
Her tongue prefers a hymn to lengthy letters
True despite her moments’ dissent order
Outward bending ego beats her betters
 
Her length of leash draws every child’s smile
She leads in leaving space for God to save
Fiercely mending monster’s idle wild
To etch herself the axis of his plane
 
When flowers fade from view, her ill lust straights
Protecting from the organ’s warring down
Rejecting her the hero road he takes
To turn her yearning into morning crown
 
Queen, the eastern door that opens day
God’s body only she may navigate
 
Now, King is cloaked to win the servant girl
But in disguise he also then forgets
To temper his proposal to her vessel
And faiths the grace of her to take the threat
 
Her fright and cry subside with time the test
While he adapts and lets her choices teach
His hidden virtue’s vest her vision’s less
Let next of first impressions bend the knee
 
As derelict the king sits alien
In temple under siege from doubts’ duress
He sees the servant’s judgment’s salient
Authentic love would open not compress
 
Royal service by its merit wandered
Left to spend what sin from nature laundered
 
Demon’s terror, czar to the son
Hooded never shading sunny daughter
Up-reaching rung where Fatherhood begun
To feed-n-leave in season as he sought her
 
Aiming flames the abba’s breath is burning
From furnaced lung to stoke the kindled flesh
Showing what combusts is ghostly turning
And leaving lost the manful beauty's dress
 
This king is Christ on cross to world proclaimed
A wound unbound but infinite to bleed
Proof to bend and break the body’s bane
For those too tall to see that God’s a seed
 
Casting demons from the kingdom lands
A fool must rule for Eden’s sin demands
 
The watchmen looks away when she creates
Her face mistaken for the sun’s embrace
Like the Father in her naked grace
A givenness her total body takes
 
Unconscious current caught and carried through
This creature of the future psychic scape
In present danger sitting next to you
Shaping natures into nation states
 
This child am I and I do not deny
My wickedness is twisted memory
It wages war while wearing trauma’s eyes
‘till those I touch and love have buried me
 
My people destine me, but only she
Plays with faithful angels in the street
 
Your beauty’s appetite my inner child
Whose flash can color feathers by its will
Ideas fly whose feet can breach the wild
Detached from mass but facing lover still
 
His majesty the leaps of children needs
To write the game and not be played as pawn
The temple joys are easy breaking reeds
Its strikes those same on victims laid upon
 
The child's heart’s galactic gravity
A lure more sure than wildest courtly rose
She’s found in chest of living Trinity
Who streams into our mouths a honey flow
 
Adults grow low as love in soul will mod
Afired bed and bread to taste our God
 
Nahash the spot on pure released into
The flesh the clan or spirits, garden guest
Chased from face to face till passing through
From self alone to spheres of blending blessed
 
Capture energy to conjure king
The healing temple master as revealed
In Cristos’ gaze the cosmic serpent bring
To own your scroll of self and set the seal
 
If not for Love the fight than night you wed
And wife and child burn alive to bet
Or say you love but mean you something dead
And lose your rite to join the resurrect
 
Cold the gold of walls used to protect
Grasp the shadow, then you’ll genuflect

Out of line flies eros rising winds
Whose touches cape the corners of her form
Whose purpose loses place where she begins
A status no more station than a storm

For seven years I searched and turned for hearth
The mission road was paved and straight aligned
But winds on roads don’t make the same return
And in the breeze I found where lovers hide

From God to me the daughter queen assigned
A navy band of princes crafted keen
Those chosen into darkest wood reclined
Tested by the martyr’s mescaline

A power there constructed, shadow dressed
Those hearts we fortressed from a tortured chest
Glass outer walls to reflect and confess
Our inner castle Jesus silhouette

Since dead have more to give than living lets
Seek teach’r shrouded under injured figure
Baptizing necromancy by his death
Enchanted children safely killed beget

To qualify the art must not obsess
Nor chisel lonely grottos in her mind
Her galaxy shall never be possessed
Her freedom is the magic and the mine

Thought to word I learned by telling her
All imagined in my boyish wonder
She, God signaled down a crossroad further
Moved by wisdom’s wand’ring papyrus thunder

Suggestion seated as a tyrant force
No weight or taste to justify its burden
Fear of being holy mispresented
Nuptiality in how its worded

‘Lectric rhythms searched the circuits timing
One connection broken killed the power
But trust conducted current even blindly
Faithful pushed the planets and the hours

When sin replaced my reason, justice creed
With lashes reason could not comprehend
For torture and for healing mutually
Bled dry of every pretense and pretend

Authority not owned told woman lies
Porous walls and iron stones collide
A single sign divided into knives
Not knowing roles stole both our right and guide

Bridge and road arose from builder’s wreckage
Passover angel lynched my old intent
Unfit for service there so followed message
Ugly out of place so hastely jet

And where I went my king and child soared
A crown with cross had hailed the drawbridge down
To rule with wisdom that would feed the poor
Though in this sung reward our lungs would drown

A chalice grows to hold the overflow
Emotions more than one by nature bears
Those memories that crucify my soul
Forgotten in the promise He prepared

If seen my beauty’s face, her eyes would stayed
I rather ground her good in forest lake
For I am one who loves though unrepaid
My demon lays me in her garden gape

Kissed by amber eyes, flamed truths delight
Bloody groom my character consumed
A lady laced in rainbow strings of light
Drew heavy hues, my broken heart assumed

Let strike these secrets illing ears will shield
Not war but worship grows heroic gifts
Compassion acts though hatred carnage yield
A sinner for his family masters this

Numinous strokes from priestly hands evoked
No different than when Adam’s mind premised
Evil to Eve her sacred nave disclosed
Our future flesh in seventh year designed

Your third door opens sage’s answer, kid
The prophet, not our nakedness he hid

The loneliness can thrown a wicked vice
So bless your friend, suspend a judgment thrice

So long and hard the journey into death
Your fickleness might make you to forget
We need each other's help to become whole
Great suffering does not excuse the cruel

​So hurry when eros arises fierce
As ready wings to catch the breath of God
When from the skies you fall be not afraid
The wind has gone to lift the leaves you loved
​

On rubbled Roman ruin roads we moved
To witness ancient portal nightly lit
Where lovers conquered death and faithful proved
In one eternal city evening still

Sunlight upon Assisi step you set
To rival the horizon's redded shade
As beauty of two starling fires met
I prayed your brighter face to never fade

Simple moments hide eternal meaning
So much we need not know or overstand
Listen gracious to His presence singing:
"Our Love Loves you completely without end"

May Jesus seal your heart and sever strings
My passing be a wind lifting your wings​

On path behind our stride the forest fires
Burning memories made of human hands
Screaming souls in front construct the pyres
To sacrifice the life of our demands

Angelic choirs quickened to your voice
‘Oh Jesus, move the mountains in my heart’
And I was not divided in my choice
To bring my strength to bear and play my part

As Mother is the river raising me
Your freedom in the Lord is my delight
I only wish I better helped you see
Yourself, as into me you cast your light

​Charity, purity, and lowliness
​These gifts you grew in me through our friendship
​

Come see, one body, one substance,
the wounded We.
Our many children listless dance,
to differed drums but single needs,
God's hands in hands.

But playing to the sounds of sin;
none can believe.
Christ whispers, lips close, secret hymn
in tranquil rhythm: "Trinity,
let Myst'ry in."

Womb of earth we till to seed,
for fruits of Son.
It's gifts of life that bend the knee.
So Family means Liturgy,
not one or three.

I feel your freedom weighed with pains,
what can I do?
The sorrow from your eyes are rains
that water me when trust is true,
and break my chains.

These demons raid your blooming blue,
be not afraid.
You do not have to lose your youth,
Yet Father still cannot invade,
You have to choose.

Your heart for one or many wounds,
I love to learn.
Communicate to stay in tune
to music movements beauty turn,
two-sided moon.

Light and dark emotion spoken;
We'll let it be.
Sacrament splits oceans open,
His power and Presence are free,
every moment.

God granted the child a ritual vision
His eyes they divided the world into rhythms
Ideas were twinned by his mind with their sisters
Conducting the signs out of time's contradictions

A sacramental disposition
Into imagination's machine

Flirting with death he slept into Christ's dream
And with vigilance crept to the edge of his being
Jesus' mystery sent him on Elise'm streams
Till' all destiny rested on what she received

The consequences of charity
Incarnation burns naked belief

But with pride of untried he leapt off prudence hinge
As the wounds between he and the world needed bridged
So the gift made in youth became flower to fate
And he learned to spin reasons so Love could relate

Hylomorphic as emotion states
Apologetic as history

Truly humbled and broken by romance and mud
He monstrated his weakness to reap from his Judge
He let God build her 'no' into 'knowledge' still young
Holding hope that her warmth at the hour would come

Intuitively he disentombs
Her nomenless ethereal womb

Bitter pain of disdain paints a staid evening snow
Winter's tears by years toiling here seasons to slow
Spired old as God opened froze garden to show
Priestly soul child crossed the cold silence to grow

He never portends the end of road
Since God's Presence all prescience devote

The fool looks through his slits of mask and sees
Bright eyes so clear confusing scenes of play.
His rules refuse to hope for what he needs,
In every touch of love a demon lay.

‘Insane’ the name they gave this dogged son
Who still solicits strikes from Master’s hand.
So knocked in orbits closer to her sun
Until unchanged by pain be pure a man.

Archangel told the fool a Word of joy:
“Your character is forged in holy fire.
Now that you are baptized as Mama’s boy,
It’s safe for you to trust in your desire.”

Now frozen time and space awaits her ‘Yes,’
Her freedom is what makes him love her best.

‘Take intervals for beauty builds,’ said I:
‘My angels, hear the story of my love.’
She sees the ancient secrets of the sky,
Her heights of mind inspire flights of Dove.

Her smile beacon rays storm dissipate;
Her ivory countenance a sacred shrine.
Hear astral strings her laughter intimate
Watch dancing dust when daughter's trust is mine.

I wonder trembling what I might provide
Gold intellect draping her royal frame.
Pathetic letters far from her describe
My total gift could not her truth proclaim.

In she all spirit, mind, and passion meet.
The Father’s words to her will be my peace.

Forgive me, as I come again to you,
As prudent as my bleeding heart can sow,
Pray acquiesce my pure intention through,
Although my cross and gift together go.

Eros’ rise and fall my heart knows well;
My love awakens not from vain pursuits.
The movement of my soul the Gospels tell
This incense rises with the signs of fruits.

Your quicker mind may judge my tongue too slow
Or guess me weak by all the ways I move,
But child in I from hiding shyly go
Trauma’s kingship time and mercy prove.

The inquisition questions late at night…
Has colored love lost frequency with light?

Lament, I failed to cite the vision right,
Twelve moons ago had God my sister shown.
Not seven deaths enough for angel fight
I see and feel no healing help to Home.

By force she stole my eyes to rise to hers
She snatched me from my steady shadow pace.
Mused on my work and pushed into my hurt,
But all the while a child tempting grace.

I hid affection under wise demand,
‘till Father flashing glimpse my future gave.
We loved the same Jem by the watchers’ hand,
To both deny the lie that made us slaves:
To modify our modesty's display,
Easing notions from emotion's mage,​
By lighting on the nighted thoughts that cage,
Through faith in waking resurrection space.​

When her Maria saw Joseph in me:
I WAS her secret garden Eden tree.

But never that, detach, I drift away
Uprooted youth returns to forest frame.

Finally, our timeline rhymed with late
Through the scanner darkly singing wait.

Walking lost across the retina of God
Too small to see the vision that ascends
We learned to learn the meaning of the rod
To dance with discipline and not pretense.
...
​
​St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us!​

Declipsing rays around my edges rent
The longest summer solstice light was sent
By intrepid lover’s magic scepter
Not diffused nor conquered by deception
As I knelt unceasing intercession
Fighting back a wall of raging wind
Through shouting clouds her whisper to me hymned
In lightning eye of storm a sacred message

Violent surprises from the sky as calls
Blasting fragile moss with falling stars
Cystic tensions tilled to still born child
Expectations deigned to make us mild
But we will not concede to easy peak
Let tempered fires burn and bless our balance
Desiccated flesh forms hands and chalice
Unmeasured gifts will keep our manners meek

Poor and humble constant converting love
Nadir zeniths wrapping genius rugs
Dry fields glow green fireflies of grace
Anew moon aura on the champion chaste
An ascending and descending good
Climb Jacob’s ladder as the morning breaks
Herculean change, the holy habit aches
We dance four seasons of God’s Fatherhood

Guiding Spirit rising water nets
Catching corpses resurrected wet
I wonder if I’ve even seen her yet…
Yet, I feel her body in my breath
And she does stand beside me and inside me
While ground around our feet disintegrates
We will fall but find each other's face
Our Shekhinah’s consistent mystery

What God has joined no storm nor sword can flay
We wait while winds exhaust and steels decay
Two mating souls vibrating worlds create
Christ unites in light that wastes no space
A wave of fire time cannot contain
The intercoursing movement preaches Cross
No love exists beyond the wound of God
After matter, death, and pain, persons remain

Lifted hand-eye praise to blackened sky
Haunted scars on core and punished pride
The seraph wrestled tarot tricks from hip
In sin we hid the memories of Him
Awaken child, the nascent time has grown
To aviate the cyclone’s mass
To claim for Christ ‘this too shall pass’
Your hierogram of simple Mercy shown

Teal iris taught us how to live this vow
To walk the aisle without escaping route
Regina’s ark of care is daring cape
Though daughters lust and beauty break
Memnoch’s cloak of light colors seduce her
Thus our armor must outweigh the beast
With martyr’s ardor ready rosen wreaths
Refugees to coral Queen maneuvers

We close our ajna chakras and repent
Mary-Joseph open broken moment
Black planet ocean drifting, listen
All I need is sister’s inner vision
She is me and we believe in Love
‘Dawn the rising Son’ young terra sings
We are body one, Breath’s wedding rings
Above the spiral Christa, knitting dove

Young maiden waiting, fruitful future bound
Jealous they mocked her dancing steps, until
Her garden gaze laid waste to greedy crown
And demon cords her angel choir stilled

Majestic blessed beauty’s diamond eyes
Are shining lights to sign the way for blind
All follow her to find the hidden ‘I’
A child’s love divine without disguise

One day she met a man and fell in half
God warned her ‘love and pain together lay’
Their passion tree would cross its beams in black
The price of innocence she paid to stay

Now, Master’s grace cascades in tears from face,
Her broken heart opens her art’s embrace

God is calling us outside ourselves
He wants us next to Him
to crash against the world
making Love's waves within

Follow He and we will see ourselves
creating destiny
no fear is how we break the habits hold-
ing us unwillingly

Inside a kind of mind that is
the devil's only trick
Faith that God is Good is how
we get away from it

And I do testify, God made
a proof out of the flesh
repaired the broken body by
enforcing every breath

See, love takes consistency
habituate the mind
Thinking like a saint and sac-
rificing up your time

'Cause pure creative power
requires holiness
living for the good of
mankind and only this

A selfless gift is honored too
so God will see it through
the less we are dishearted, the
more rapidly we move

And bring our fate to pass
the Heaven that we seek
with every good intention
an angel slays a beast

Evil doubts try to control us
and take us from the place
but Love guides Reason
back to the state of grace

Alas, the weak defeat, their
humility will speak
Love and unity reach-
ing to artistic peak

The moment is sufficient
if we will just embrace
the blessing of existence free
-ing up an open space

And on that empty canvas we
will paint the world ablaze
offering our skills and gifts
to give the Lord our praise

No need to heed the self to greed
the wealth of God the soul recieve
If we believe enough indeed
the universe itself concede

Thoughts are prayers
that must be manifest
Christ knew this, and it
was us He chose to bless

All His strength He gave away
to heal us in distress
Though He had the joy of God
our pain He did possess

So long as we still suffer
self-love must be suppressed
unity will only be
achieved through repentence

Its easy to do
Love needs no defense
the nothingness from which we come
absorbs every offense

On the path of God the burdens light
we find for love its fun to fight
darkness sparks a different bright
night ignites the holy light

And suffering for love we might
excite a wholly new delight
I have seen the perfect sight
when we accept what we invite

What comes to us along the way
will always be enough
without eternal purpose
what service is our stuff?

As we witness the results
our Faith will amplify
love is like a ladder stepp-
ing slowly to the sky

Lost beside my Love
I find that I am found
the temple of The Spirit ris-
es from my barren ground

No matter who I thought I was
my soul is never bound
my identity reveals itself
as God moves me around

Mankind was made divine
Christ powers over time
Revelation realigns
our reason to His rhyme

Covenant eyes deny the sign they see
disguised by lies that rise like tides of sea
Know demons dark with guile and coveting
the body's beauty they will never be
Zealous to promise what we cannot keep
We paid for poison with our stolen sleep
The scales of justice tip to meet our greed
While children rotate days they get to eat
Without the fix we feel life's pitiful
And hunger lingers even though we're full
We fight to feel the high all by ourselves
That only comes from loving someone else
There stood our destiny in mom alone
Deceptive ecstasy without a home
Traded our faith in family for dreams
And blamed our guiltless tragedies on genes
What words deserve return to grave alone
Adulterizing truth so save a stone
Whose hand it is that writes, I ask the sky
You and I, reply, dovetailing as we fly
Why do you love a broken man, IAM
My open mouth demands to taste the plan
Futures repeat and present's always past
Fire and peace roar over melting glass
The beggars wager thirst against our land
Our neighbor's labor favors wonderland
The promised pearl hardly pays the price
Since golden trades make majesty and might
Tunnel tales swollen sails yet no escape
Heavy hails derail sun trails take
Mortification builds a finished flesh
Still breaths stretch forceful into rest and death
Earth tread enters angel highways violent
Needed wings grown in a burning silence
Falling visions crater lights around us
Lead lambs to slaughter singing sounds of trust
Prisoned in choices fortified by time
Locutions sacrificed to murder pride
The crippled body wears Beloved tones
Souls flee the fiery gaze from holy thrones
Passion transfigures victims into kings
Royal children warplay in torture rings
Woman rises wet above bloody womb
Her dancing prayer threads stitches through his wound
For leverage best against the devil's test
Two hearts unite in ancient lover's quest
Translate emotions quiet suffocate
Hired desire lyred master hate
Survival instincts manipulate me
Addicted to you, need you to chaste me
Knocking on dangling doors to neverwhere
Suffering vanities no children bear
Death tills lovers' soil destination
Spinal tapping family preparation
Celibate friends race to a lonely fear
Joyous they know they will be holy here
Sacrament the present moment, spread wide
Foreign tongues humble science flames, dead stride
Jesus must walk him through the agony
To wait is not his choice, belief received
Surrendered passion course flight boomerang
Returned by wind's design and soon to land
A shooting star across the sky of time
Reminder sign long hair and braided rhyme
When loathing falls let laughter ninja rise
Holy jester come mask her tender mind
Queen Regina rose of wine tumble earth
Your heart and mine and hers blue umble birth
Dependency untied behind his eyes
Dilated soul inside a love divine

Time lifts me away
Always I pray, God, I wanna play
Show me the way

Which way to go still
Learning to know
Stop leaving me alone. Running with

You's kinda scary
Though its fun to be weary
The fear keeps me on track

I try to stay with your pace
But You keep getting away
How do you leap like that?

Lift up and fly now
Give me a try now
This mountain's in our way. I want to

-

Imitate you but
Never replace you
I'm just a little child

With Your love I love you
You give, so I give too
Why would I ask why?

All matter must die to
See The Spirit survive
Sacrifice is the ultimate high

I know You will save me
But I'm still shaky
Death hurts more every time

Your beauty transcends
All the games I invent
Your Love is my only end
