I think I want to get old
Alone. Learn how to grow
Strands of white in
Grey.

Deaf to a silence as
Complete as any ever. I'll
Have longs since
Unlearned

To talk. I'd like to go like
That -still in the rocking chair.
Or find myself locked in the dark
Boot of a car, with a shovel and

Every last thank you prayed;  
Hearing, from the sound of
The gravel, that I'll rest in home-
Ground soil. Both feet in leather.

Steel are the lines trapped in the faces once lost
Seldom seen or heard but felt stolen in a cost
As is the tree, always bound to the dirt
So is the soul, to the feelings it has hurt

One can run from the soul’s inner reflections
Yet the soul lacks being whole to this direction
For light sees truths where dark may simply not
Neither forces recruitment as each soul’s battle is fought

Difficult to see the victor when the war rages on
One may never see until the light is almost gone
Yet the darkness can never **** brightness in light
Because one without the other is to never have the fight
Each decision that we make is a Spiritual battlefield.
Do we do what  feels good to our flesh or what is right.
For doing what is right in Christ eyes is very different.
Then what is right in the sight of man, very different.
For the laws are made by mortals morals not God morals.
So even the simplest of decisions become an Spiritual battle.
The battlefield is Spiritual  not an physical place here .
For the battle occurs in our minds on which side that we chose.
To side with the Christ is our choice others choose the world.
Like crushed grapes,
I want to bottle you,
savor you,
drink you,
guzzle you in gallons.
You,
you make me
go ape.
O My mind,
my creative
tortured mind
constantly slips,
slips inside her.
I think of ways,
ways to give her
my magic touch,
to rock her.
And it seems so vivid,
so vivid it seems,
I can feel
her heartbeat
trembling,
taste her skin
sweating,
with me standing,
standing straight up
on my own two feet
behind her,
whispering
sweet,
sweet
nothings.
Shards of broken glasses
Strewn all over the floor
Shattered dreams all over
Jagged edges of regret
Once held with affection
Held the fragrant flowers
Special Cymbidium Orchids
It’s pristine presence felt
Adorned the corsage
Now, lay shattered
No place for the Orchids
Wailing of broken dreams
Now, memories linger
