Hey Dad!
Hey Dad! Hey Dad! Is that you knocking at the door outside? I'm excited to let you know how great was my first horse ride. Mom was waiting for you on the couch — another quiet night. Is your job so hard? Well, I hope everything's alright. Good night Dad. Hey Dad! Today's my 7th birthday! My friends were looking for you...

Premium Member He Ascended Into Heaven In White Clad
With His arms wide open and His head bowed low He prayed to His Father, without making a show Two thieves at His side, one repented one not Savior of this world, gave it all He got They placed Him in a tomb and rolled up the stone all that was left of Him was flesh...

A Welcome into the Dark
A legendary dark, so thick, A corrosive smog to my young eyes that itched, My kid-glove skin crawled like the parasitic tick, It felt as though my whole system glitched. A welcome into the dark cave, Exhilarating walk from the womb—a step into the mystery, Where shadows of truth barely behave, The haste of rolling days writes the history. A love missed—he...

Premium Member Fishing
We set off full of hope into the night as it grew blacker towards the end of the jetty where shorelights dimmed to a distant glow. Wind drove a swell to boom and crash against the pylons below sending a shudder through our feet. The air was bitterly cold. Baited hooks hung in the dark depths on the end of a...

I Couldn’t Find Myself In The Mix
I couldn’t find myself in the mix, My reflection got lost in the middle, Have I still the face of a kid? Life doesn’t play by the rules, Don’t resist, Driving my mind with a complexion, Who am I kidding, A complexion I ain’t even trying to fix. I tried to rewind on my approach, But...

An Adolescent's Pain
Adored sister, dry the warm tears flowing from these gleaming eyes: let them dazzle more than jewels: they are dedicated to all sweet mothers who live for their sons, unlikely fathers whose role is to teach them harsh lessons! Dad was a shameless womanizer, he demanded faithfulness from mother and discipline from us; he rarely smiled and hugged us in needy times: we looked...

This is your Garden of Eden It’s a garden that needs weedin’ And it needs seedin’ To get you Heaven ready This is Satan’s offering Offering you to sin and skip the drossing (He offered Christ a shortcut to His crossing) To get you [not Him] Hell ready Once able to choose the good or evil freely Now only able to choose the...

The Inheritance of Fire
I was raised in the storm’s mouth, where walls learned to shudder before I did. Nights smelled of whiskey and rage, and the air, thick with silence, was a hymn of waiting— waiting for the door to slam, for the curse to carve its way into the night. My mother, a quiet soldier of suffering, wore her silence like armor, her eyes pleading with...

Premium Member City Frozen Cold
Verse 1 His coat is torn his shoes are thin The cold cuts deep beneath his skin Little boy coughs small hands that shake Winter's breath is much to hard To hard to take. Verse 2 Sidewalk echoes silent prayers People pass but no one cares Cardboard kingdom borrowed time Every step is a mount- Mountain climbed. Chorus And the city turns away Like they...

Premium Member The Father you do not Know
The father you do not know, loved you since the day you were born. Held you carefully in his arms and promised to always keep you warm. The father you do not know, never wanted you to see him weak. He held you up so high, so you could reach the sky. The father you do not know, sacrificed his own needs. Even when he...

Church and God
Exposing fractures, Within a Structure. Built to contain, Maintaining a way in. Training the brain, From thinking again. Told it's not worthy, Money is dirty, And we're full of sin. They wouldn't let me in, I know what's within. Their structure starts crumbling, Removing the link. A kink in the plan, I AM fully God, And fully man. An Energy evolution, A living constitution. Living in a world, I created from within. Let the games...
