God’s child

Hey sista! I heard you have the ends to buy a Benz.
A new home to call your own.

You have two degrees under your belt and financial wealth. You should be proud of yourself.

You don’t need recognition, you did this all out of your own...

Storms over Paris

Storms over Paris

I tremble like a restless leaf
And quake beneath the looming clouds
That gather anger in their wake,
And all the earth with darkness shrouds.

That tempest pitch from Sparta comes
Convulsing the Ægean Sea
With...

I am the girl

I am the girl
I am the word
I begin to unwind
For wagers so grime
People keep interesting
My penitence subsisting
I have values uplifting
The presence of god is wondering
Near me is a tree
Christened and free
God is with me
God is the...

Don’t leave us

We, are constantly afraid, of you on the run,
Where we only want to be held close again,
To keep you in sights, heartwrenchingly waiting
We

Wait

We jump at any and every movement you make and eagerly await the new nonsensical

Sacrifice

They asked for my youth & I gave it with out a thought.
They asked for my beauty & I hoped it could be bought .
They asked for all my time, & all my minutes became their own.
They asked for all my money, & every dollar became their home.

Unfocused and Uncontrolled

When I am driving my surviving
Weighs upon my mind.
Since some don't care if someone's where
Such drivers in are unkind!

Some go as far when in their car,
Exploding in road rage
To change the fate of those they hate
When using Satin's...

Nightmare: Unclean

Sharp lines and
Medical beds
Stark walls
A metal table
I'm bound by IVs
And dripping
Poison
This place isn't for my health
It's a trap
And scientific research
My body;
A lab rat

I unhook myself from their contraptions,
Dragging my...

End-Time Ethics

The end of all things are at hand,
Be self-controlled and diligent;
For the sake of prayer, understand,
Be prepared for the big event.

Just keep loving one another,
Since love covers a multitude;
Sins of yourself and your brother,
Keep a...

Habitual Hypocrites

Liars who deceive.
And betray others to have believe,
Themselves to be,
Followers loyal to 'Christianity'.
While quoting scriptures from Bibles.
Conveniently carried around.
Doing their missionary deeds.
To disguise the reality,
Of what they...

Alpha and Omega

Your light washes over me;
Cleansing me,
I surrender to your purity,
Ridding of all my impurity,
Whether it be my end, or
A new beginning,
My absolution,
Our Father...

The day had started out sunny and warm. So, I decided to take myself off on a walk up the Mourne Mountains. The Mournes are well known for their beauty and splendour in Northern Ireland and throughout the world. They are majestic and filled with...

Arachne

I don’t know
who the octo-creature is,

or Nicolas,

but you can’t stay young forever.


You can’t.


I know.


I tried.


I played in carpet...
