I’ll never forget the feeling of the night’s gentle breeze as it ran over me like the soothing touch of a mothers running fingers through my crusted hair. Off in some great distance was the source of that breeze, drifting out from beneath a thunderhead whose top was the snowy mountain on a sunny day, and whose bottom was like a Tesla light show complete with waterworks.
“The wrath of God can be a beautiful thing, Joey, ma boy!” said Lenard, “It’s something that man can fear and admire all at once.”
He was right. He had caught me marveling at this broad portrait of nature before I did. I turned round

I Can Only Forgive You
The sarcastic cheer was for the fictional
switches in that old biased call to action.
Oh naive the pride in unsullied perspective,
tested only by what I've envied as temporary.
Easy routes and smooth roads were labeled
with excuses whereas ours are reasons.
Forgive my lack of a desired reaction to the
first thing I once tried and found as a rude awakening.
I tell you, the sarcastic laugh is more or less
a subtle cry of envy from my choking.
Any hate is a petty falsity amidst my weariness
in the undying fog over my figurative eyes.
This is merely that which will only come as
phases to you and be a marathon for me.
What did in fact come from those lands was plague.
We awoke there with broken spirits,
taken hostage by hurricanes from the farthest Hell.
A man with a whispered name and blurred face
then came and breathed fire onto the crops.
From him we ran, like frightened sheep.
The riddle was worn and obviated by continuous rains,
and with hushed rumors and averted eyes,
we wrote the ending on the bottoms of our boots.

What Feels like Damnation
January was a first within which I quickly lost track of time, when the year began in a ninth circle developed out of treacherous fear. A convoluted scheme that wrapped away my freedom for a man of ill wealth that took fancy to my unfortunate name.
I was a gift, and show such love that I did indeed question in that following February. To and from like a breathing Valentine, walking with bare feet, cross country to be presented as god given property to the fiend that I called master against the laws of choice.
Free will was suffocated in the wearing of shackles whose rust gave new color to the skin that they met. Marching in March, the road
I have shivered in the warmest days, and sat on the verge of tears of varied names,
While staring over the void between restless nights, where my sleeping eyes beheld the nightmares of which I am ashamed to give credit to my own mind, the stories of horrid tales without purpose other than fear.
I am hardly journeyed yet already lost within myself like a wandering spirit inside the desolate shell. A heartbeat keeps pace by powers beyond that the spirit walks for, yet the spirit walks in chains, a slave to a past where naive seeds were planted in what should have been hallowed ground.
Now that fear from the beginning yanks those chains while

Cry Wolf and Speak Truth
Rusted are the doors that lock themselves shut by the orders of my hesitant tongue, how it twists with my mood and delivers words away from my racing thoughts. I feel ergo, a lightlessness shadow climbing up the vertebrae, feeding of the chills it brings me as it ascends. Oh, God and all of Heaven, brush that Devil away lest it rip the spine and replace it with a pitchfork. I have seen my demons in the back of my mind, dwelling in dark corners with my temptations and flaws...those are the demons of that legion of swine sent over the edge...the very edge where I feel I am headed.
In the adolescence of a nocturnal routine, I sit with eyes off

From Scratches on the Oldest Drawing Board
Consider this a more detailed version of my other pieces, 'Genesis 1:1-31' and 'Wisdom and Intellect', concerning the ideas and theories behind the origin of the universe. I very much enjoy writing on the subject that God is so much more than many understand Him to be. It's both a way for me to help others understand God (as I see Him, these are just my opinions based on my studies and experience) as well as a way to praise Him and His glory. Here are some links for those who may be unfamiliar with a few things I intend to cover in this exhortation.

The Oldest Trick in the Book
The recurring theme of malinger and tomfoolery
pushes an envelope packed with counterfeit
bills across a desk made by the hands of hungry children.
So blatant a sin as to lie to a land of suspecting
psyches is that of a rape to every thought crossing
the pathways of synapses and morality.
The clueless neckties were never clueless,
as free will is the truest catalyst to the monsters
beneath the skin of miracles, like cannon fire in an orphanage.
Deception is a talent practiced while mastered by Hell,
and surely the envelope holds origins from places of evil?
Bills, from mangled trees, grow into newer roots of evil.
Rot can be prove
A part of me wonders, wandering in circles,
Screaming silently at the back of the locked room.
This fragment questions, off the tongue of curiosity,
so grand a spectrum. This part of me grows by
passing ticks of a talking clock that can
never desist from its natural noise.
Going mad as the timeline grows, the circles
became a spiral without my noticing, so novice
this child of God like every other. Though true
wisdom is beheld in knowing I know nothing,
yearn I still for a word bank for the riddles
of endless blanks on a script in the making.
Potential gives every answer the chance
to be truth, lie or dare. An effect for every cau
I'll toss a few hooks over and into my back,
before I yank this fish out of water
to lean over a table of acacia wood.
There lies a contract and script,
in where my lines are only blank for a time to come,
but drenching its pages in a
multicolored frenzy of times that came and went.
I yank the ropes that grasp those hooks
in the forward motion for a closer
look onto that table and parchment,
seeing the macroscopic fine print that
never had my eyes seen ever before.
It had been written in the dead language
of atoms out of time, telling the story still in the works.
I was a rough draft and a final copy.
The jack of my many trades
