ODE TO DEEP REGRET

SUCH pain!  I cannot refrain
from the deepest regret
My need to greet your words
wishing freshingly painted
upon your notes scribbled
But fate or other monster
bestowed this trick
that my heart would fall
for one who long ago
passed beyond the flesh

SOUL STEEL

WHAT was weak
snapped into piece
I sadly held onto
my broken soul…
My angel spoke
and said it so…
what is broken
becomes the steel

CONFESSION XXXI

MY strength derived
not by conviction
but by those who love me
My courage not within
but received by my love
for others…

SPLIT ROCK

WITH a gentle divine love
your desert flower bloomed
digging deep within the sands
of my barren land

Such sweet roots encased my heart
and with time — like a rock
split my heart into two

TERROR PLAGUE

I HAVE discovered
the terror-plague
not a shadow
nor a beast
but the fear
of eternal pain

MOTHER’S LOVE

THE abyss of the maternal
from which we spring forth
the deepest love eternal

DEEP WITHIN

THAT which dwells
so deep within
not placed there
by God or birth
but through the pain
still unresolved

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED

HUMAN speech
so shallow
Written word
so deep
A prick of time
fleeting
But passion
for love eternal

MY SOURCE

THE deep I need
a source in life
the well I draw
to quench my words

If it dries
my life will wither
and my spirit to dust
will crumble

SPACE OF A CRAWL

I DIED not upon a cross
but within the space
of a crawl
The pain was more
than a swollen wave
that crashes upon a shore
But the pull remains
and my shoreline’s thinner
If a fish I would drown
within the sand
that a whale would devise
a plan to evade your tide
So the world I crucify
and slip into an ocean deep
