because Jesus
because Jesus
died for us
by faith
we become just
as just
as Jesus
is just
because Jesus
is the One who
justifies us

what of love
what
of
love
to
me
not
known
of
love
to
miss
the
kiss
of
bliss
never
known
to
live
a
life
alone
and
to
love
never
atone

you touched me
painfully
with your beauty
severely
and left me
mortally
wounded in poetry

why
why
did i
come to the ER
where the ones that
want to live are
when i
would rather die
than to get well
and live longer in this hell
copyright 2014
the blank stare
the blank silent stare
when you're not at all there
makes me wonder where
you are
and how far
you are
away from me
and what it is you see
and where it is you rather be
and is someone with you
and what it is you do
and how long
will you be gone
from within you eyes
if your love dies
and you never
come back forever
will you remember me
on your journey
to where
you go when you stare
and i no longer there
so far from your care

sitting by her
beautiful to admire
her love to desire
and expire

inside
inside the nicely so warm
i sit and watch
the so icy snow storm
outside these so old windows
the so cold wind blows
and so bold it snows
into the night fall
the snow white fall
alight on all
and so bright on all

i seem to suffer
i seem to suffer so severely
from a pronounced poverty
that does not permit me
to be in any quantity
proportion or degree
capable of composing poetry
my words are an assembly
of worthless drossy debris
only worthy to be
one day most forcibly
flung into a waste facility

you like
you like
some strange
shy beautiful
fragrant flower
with your
fair face
turned away
from the sun
your delicate
head held down
as if wilting away
so white
so pale
as if passing
from life
and embracing
death

in my house
in my house
i have no mirrors
my reflection
is never reversed
i always avoid
seeing the sight
of my reflection
for my face
is fearfully cursed

rick warren
on hearing rick warren comparing
himself with Martin Luther
as only an egotist would
by conforming the church
to the word of GOD
Martin Luther reformed the church
by conforming the church
to the word of man
rick warren has deformed the church

from a dryad
from the dryad
tis the trees
that stir
the air
that cause
the breeze
to move
here and there
tis the trees
that sway
their limbs
to and fro
that cause
the air
to drift
and flow
tis the trees
that cause
the wind
to blow
and all
of this
i came
to know
because
a dryad
told me so

tomorrow
or
forever
and maybe
in sorrow
now will
be all we
ever have
together
forever

i was
one of those
who flew into
the heavenly blue
above with so much love
as high into the sky
as i could possibly fly
i would follow
the low setting sun
when the day was done
and at the sight of twilight
i would take flight
into the star filled night
in the white of the moonlight
and at the earliest dawn
i would be up and gone
to meet the rising sun
on the edge of the horizon
and now and then to drift
on a swift current of air
that would take me somewhere
iv'e never been
and may never go again
happy to be free
from the depression
and oppression of gravity
until with broken wing
found me and ground me
too sorrowful to sing
knowing i would never fly
into the sunlit sky again
never to feel the blowing breeze
through the branches and leaves
of the tall trees again
now here i lie
waiting to die
wanting to fly to where i
will sing again
and take wing again
happy to be free
from gravity
for all eternity

with Thee,
and take
this world
away from me,
and take me
from this world

forevermore

as if i didn't feel
bad enough or sad enough
you had to make me feel
worse than i did before
and hurt me even more
by accusing me of an evil
you know i didn't do
knowing i tried to help you
support you and comfort you
you treated me meanly and unseemly
all i have to say to you
is i'll pray for you
and may i never again
see you ever again

a familiar flowery
a familiar
flowery
fragrance
in the autumn air
for a fleeting moment
it was there
brought me back
to somewhere
i use to be
maybe
a forgotten
memory
of a time
when i was
the child
i use to be
or just maybe
the child
that's still me
that never grew
and never knew
what that
familiar
flowery
fragrance was
or what he
wanted to be
when he
grew up
to be
me

she's just out of rehab
she's just out
of rehab
manipulating
me again.
getting my
sympathy
and money.
i'll give her
anything and
everything
cause i love
her that much.
it's so hard
to love
someone
who finds
it so easy
to hurt you
but i do.
i wake up
with tears
in my eyes
and a haunting
pain in my heart.
it's a reoccurring
dream i've had
for years.
it takes
me awhile
to remind
myself that
she passed away
years ago.
the dream
is that real
and so is
my love
for her
