Of Life Through My Scripture
I was very intent on writing something else here; but venus overruled vulcan, and venus victrix decided it best to wait it out a few more hours, hear an explanation, and see where it goes from there. better to be mature than hasty. better to be deliberate than childish. or so one would like to […]
Sisyphean Soliloquy
…so I betrayed myself. I should have held out for longer, but could not. Weak-willed bastard that I was, my need to be near her superceded my desire for growth.with hair askew wild-eyed star children two more alike than not sad eyes and soft kisses soft skin and saddened heart weak-willed with strong souls depth […]
1st-4-Life and LDP
Distance equals space. As God requires space, God creates it. As children of God, we do the same, creating our space or our distance as required, either tangibly, in terms of feet or miles, or intangibly, in terms of aloofness and silence.

Sumter Sister
I can’t stop thinking about her…every little thing is on my mind, and I don’t know what to do about it…I know its cathartic to write about it, but I fear the consequences of these keystrokes…what if she reads these words and figures, correctly, how turned upside down I am about her, and it turns […]
Miss Communication
hard to read but showing through surface images depth extended beneath yet safe inside her poems and her phrasing she is a light a shining sun wrapped within the walls of woe a God-made blessing we missed each other but for the best an opportunity still yet to pass one soul of a million waiting […]
