I am calm,
At rest,
Sitting on a park bench,
Enjoying my peacefulness,
When suddenly I feel the Earth has shifted,
I sense her,
Beyond the crowd,
And sure enough,
I see her walking in from the parking lot,
Her dark form fitting clothes,
Her quick gate.
She glides across the concrete.
My insides scream with excitement
As I take in her splendor and beauty,
She is an orchid among roses and daisies,
But does she even know?
Perhaps this is simply a muse in my mind.
A day dream.
Because I'm not even sure she really exists.
For how else can you explain,
Someone you could have only come up with,
In your imagination,
And then breathed them into reality.

I Dream a Dream
I dream of a world with no drugs,
No need for woes of life,
To be numbed by alcohol and partying.
I dream of a world
Where a child never says I love you,
To a parent
Only to never hear the words reflected.
I dream of a world
Where violence and physical abuse
Do not exist.
How I wish I could save,
Each innocent and little child,
Protect them from the damage,
They experience.
How I dream but only a dream,
I simply cannot let go of.

Faith and Prayer
True faith is believing good things will happen but requires you do the things that are within your control.
But there are many things beyond your control...
For these things faith becomes a simple act of prayer.
It is the moment you see all other people's sickness with clarity that you wish to be alone.
For this moment, you simply have prayer.
It is the moment you see your own sickness with clarity that you realize you need others.
For this also, you simply have prayer.

Quality Time
Sitting on the grass,
In front of our house,
Talking for hours on end,
Your low cut shirt,
And your youthful feminine beauty on display.
Running around with friends,
In the middle of night,
Lying down in the middle of a field,
Gazing at the beautiful night sky.
Walking around the neighborhood,
Stopping to give you a small kiss,
Returning home,
Or having to part from you.
Driving down the road,
Wind in our hair,
Music blasting,
Or playing some sweet symphony.
Adventures in snowboarding,
Coupled with private rides,
Making out while resting,
Ending the day with a warm snuggly fire.
Playing games,
Laughing and enjoying each other's company,
Lying on the couch,
One under the other,
Holding hands.
Compulsiveness,
And lust taking control,
Laying you down on the cold hard concrete,
In a public place,
Anticipating getting caught,
As we bang out our body's passions.
Slow dancing,
Melting in your arms,
As we hold each other closely,
Romantic feelings,
Caressed by love songs after dark.
Finding a place to park,
Far away from the crowds,
Where we discover each other,
Windows fogged.
Lying in bed,
Stripping off your tight jeans,
Interrupted by life,
And having to run.
Making tender love under the stars,
The calm air,
Soothing tempered skin,
Peacefully embracing.
Watching movies side by side,
Action, drama or comedy,
Emoting in tune with you,
Sharing an experience.
Skinny dipping,
Where people might see,
Intimate touches,
And awkward naked moments.
Doing nothing,
Absolutely nothing,
Just leaning on a wall,
Wishing to hold you forever.
Staying at home,
Enjoying a relaxing afternoon,
Cooking a humble meal,
Breaking bread.
These are the moments,
These little moments,
That make all the difference.

Reflections
The Earth and all its beauty,
The endless landscapes,
The breath taking sunsets,
The serenity of waves crashing against the shore,
The starry sky which twinkles among the shooting stars,
Reflects such magnificent creation.
Like the oils and paint,
Sprayed across the canvas.
Reflect the artist.
...
A child,
Their joy and innocence and purity,
Their wonderful laughter,
Their hilarious eccentricity
Is simply a reflection.
...
Oh, the Godess and her body.
The thin slender frame,
With sweet breasts to caress,
That one could just suckle for days,
Reflections of nurture, love and grace
...
The Creator or the created.
Which shall we love?

The Battle Field
Addicted to money,
We pursue business,
Gaining comfort.
...
Why not turn to the Jesus, the Word,
In this physical realm,
To be filled with Hope?
...
Addicted to power and glory,
We pursue athletics and academics,
Gaining control.
...
Why not turn to the Holy Spirit,
In this spiritual realm,
To be filled with faith?
...
Addicted to sex,
We pursue women,
And gain significance.
...
Why not turn to God,
In this emotional realm,
And be filled with love?
...
The pieces of the puzzle may be moved around and shifted.
Yes, that distortion is the playground of the devil.

Walking Through the Storm
Ive got demons all around me,
They go from place to place,
Their power is unbounding,
Dont let them in this place.
...
Miracles are lacking,
Death knocks on this front porch,
Grace saves from none attacking
Dont let me burn by torch
...
Fights, fits and fussing,
Never is a bore,
Exhausting is discussing
Dont let there be no more
...
Day by day,
You may wonder what keeps me going,
Focus through the fray
The service seeds Im sowing

New Clothes
Dont touch those clothes!
Dont try to change my wardrobe!
Dont you dare try to fix whats in my closet.
Unless you are willing to give me your everything
Unless you will be there no matter what
Unless you are willing to help clean out my mental closet
In a sea full of women,
There remains only one
And it will hurt like Hell
But I will let you in
But dont you dare start
What you are not willing to finish.

Not Afraid
The kingdom of heaven comes to Earth
When we choose to battle through Hell
The biggest demons we face
Stare right back through the mirror
The only way is through
If we ever wish to find our light

Summer Flings
When we met, we were oceans apart,
We knew it was trouble from the start
A twinkle of fate just grabbed my heart
Cupids arrow, that fiery dart
Bittersweet endings, sweet sour and tart
Bricks of tears hauled away by the cart
Falling in love is not very smart

The Dragon Slayer
She yells at me,
Doesn't he love his own kids,
Why would he not see them?
...
I calmly reply,
It is not his kids he left,
It is you.
...
And she freezes,
Shocked that I would say such a thing
But she is paralyzed with an open ear
...
And while you protect your heart
From the fear that you will never be loved
You must create the reality that it is the family he abandoned.
...
She sits down,
Tears rolling down her face,
Having an inkling to resist and remain composed.
...
So I continue before she becomes self aware.
You were never loved as a kid were you?
You were ignored, daddy left, never felt beautiful.
...
Streams rolling down her cheeks now
As I continue along these lines
An emotional portal opened directly to her heart.
...
I sit and wait
And let tears flow
There is healing in tears
...
And frustration and anger and fear
Overwhelm her
But she has the security here to cry.
...
I see her emerge
A new softness surrounds her
She is ready
...
She looks at me
As if a glimmer of hope
In her eyes lies a question
...
You see dear,
You are beautiful beyond comprehension
Afraid of your own light
...
She wipes her face
Cleans herself
Sits up straight but still hanging on my words
...
And you dont need me to tell you
Or anyone for that matter
To know that you are unique, special, beautiful, lovable
...
She finally becomes aware,
Glances around the room
A new peace is formed
...
Accept the rejection,
Only through accepting reality can you learn your value
Only when you learn to love yourself can you learn to love others.
