My search for truth and meaning
has been confounded by common sense
All these road maps to divinity
hold no substantial evidence

Truth remains an institution
founded in the vulnerability of mortality
Answers are offered up in rational voices
simply to manipulate morality in our reality

Confusing? Quite, enough to exhaust the mind
the search for ultimate truth
demands a large portion of one's time
And so I focus on the things that matter
friends, family, loving relationships

We're here to experience both good and bad
happiness and hardship
And so enjoyment becomes my deity
and the fulfillment of my desires
becomes my worship...
True religion is real living; Living with all one's soul,
with all one's goodness and righteousness.

It starts in the enchantment of her love...

In the beginning of her storm
Even the angels take shelter
A battle so fierce it rocks the heavens
The stars begin to flicker
Demand for blood shed redemption
From a race of turn-ups
Eventually life bleeds into death
Death which is ultimate in her knowing...

To sum it up
I choose two words
Heaven & Hell
Both exist simultaneously
In the same place
At the same time
You can't experience one
Without the other present
Love attracts hate mingled with fear
Fear is a state of hell in my heaven...

SHE
Into my ear she whispers
Such thoughts I can't define
Days I've lost forever
Moments get trapped in time
Her love has so many meanings
My life has so many stains
My heart is in need of cleaning
As she causes it to rain
Her breath of life I'm breathing
She supplies the light I lack
If I lose my way tomorrow
Her light shall guide me back
She is the queen of mystery
Her energy is where I dwell
Her ways are far beyond knowing
To a heart that's hardened by hell
Yet in my soul she lingers
My doubts she understands
My heart she made of star dust
And formed within her hands
This lesson that I'm learning
Things are rarely as they seem
She opened up my eyes to hope
And renews forgotten dreams
Written to my lady, 2006 (her favorite)

A secret staircase to a secret chamber
Where broken hearts decay
Where dreamless sleepers pass through time
Beyond the light of day

Only the sacred mantra of a special angel
Can save a soul from night
But love cast down in a fit of jealousy
Can cause the dragon bite

So believe for me the fairy's wand
That sparkles as it swirls
And you and I forever after
In our blissful magic world

These questions throughout ages
Have set our greatest quest
Searching for a path
That continues beyond death
It appears the nature of our soul
Is to bring forth good intentions
To overcome the barriers
Of our mind's misled inventions
These lessons can't be taught
By the words of some great teacher
Or by walking in the steps
Of some over zealous preacher
The experience of the knowing
Is an empirical gather wisdom
Guided by the universe
For those who've learned to listen...

Goddess in love with a man
Her hourglass spills my sand
Captivated by mortal charm
Her hunger can do such harm

Loving her feels like sin
A love that burns within
Jealousy like you've never seen
She even stalks me in my dreams

Nails down back, pulling hair
Lust bites and I don't care
Within her temple I blasphemy
And in the end
She breaks her fast for me...

Can she see through creative eyes
Violet truths, purple lies

Can she feel me when I'm numb
Drink with me the pirate's ***

Can her touch bring me pleasure
Is her bounty hidden treasure

Where I'm going, when I come
Will she know if I'm done

When I bleed will she see red
Will my hungry heart be fed

Shall all be lost in lovers cove
Or shall love shine like stolen gold
