Watching

It’s not the outside world I fear most; it’s the inside one, the one so near that disturbs me. Everything burns. The heart. The soul. The thoughts that can find no solace in a world drenched with blood and flame and not a cloud in the sky to rain down purifying waters so desperately needed.…

A Conversation Overheard

What frustrates people, even believers, is that God don’t put you where you wanna be but where you need to be. ‘Course, there are some times when those two match up, but the times when they don’t, that’s when you should ask, “What is it you want me to be doin’?”

Just Win (The Super Bowl), Baby

Three years ago, I wrote a blog post concerning my Oakland Raiders and the fact that they stunk so much that I was hoping for them to get even one, lone win that season. It’s amazing how quickly the Raiders have turned around, last season becoming a post-season team for the first time in 13…

There And Here (Beyond)

What do I feel? I don’t know. What does that mean? Is love not there? Is love not here? And in the absence of love, what fills me, if anything fills me at all? God is love, so where is God? Where is meaning? Is faith not there? Is faith not here? And in the…

Stay Faith Lost

Real quick, I just want to give a nod to Lira of HeartBeatsBlue. The below poem actually came from a comment I made in one of her posts, Faith. Give it a read, and also check out Middle Finger. Trust me, you’ll love it. I did. 🙂 And now, on to the poem… Sometimes, the…

Advent

I didn’t lose faith in humanity, humanity robbed me of faith shard by shard rhyme by rhyme time by time year to year month to month week to week day by day hour by hour minute by minute I was made to stray as they crushed my hope, as they bent my will away, person…

Love Chant Love

Be free! Be free! Be free! I can never lose you if I never have you Be free! Be free! Be free! Pain results from too tight a grip Let go! Let go! Let go! Allow a bird to fly from its cage Let go! Let go! Let go! Believe! Believe! Believe! that choosing is…

The Invisible Way Out And In

Rules are for people who need them, a better fate than to still deceive sins not of flesh but of spiritual longing, a bitter path only a god can conceive. I can assume you someway realize it’s too late for me now. In your coldest depths, you understand it’s too late for me now. Though…

Ever-

Without end, an ever-flourishing divide between. An agreement they hold of their pleasurable coherence and my floating away from anything resembling, staying the sane chasm flaunting its ever-widening gap. With no escape from surrounding outside normality, no escape from compressing solitary confinement. Cornered into an ever-increasing faith for the unrevealed answer whose revelation is no…

The God Connection

Rain slices through the light. Lightning flashes in the night. Night falls on a single moment in the life I was, in who I was in the cold before. Before I found myself lying here. Before I found myself dead. Dead and unburied, my ashes spread nowhere, each grain carrying across the wind same dreams.…
