WE are flames of glory
as we live our lives
through His heart
having stepped out of darkness
never with it
proclaiming freedom
and sharing the glory
which keeps these flames
burning

poems
“The Looking Glass”
do you ever have those moments
when reading the bible
seems too much to handle
because you’re living it?
“Genderless”
through this walk of freedom
so many men have approached me
having been addicted to sex
to porn
to prostitutes
so many arms embrace the women
but what about the men?
they need hugs too
“Closed Book”
what happens
when help turns away
what happens
when the blind fall
and those with vision
walk by
what happens
when the mute show pain
and the physicians
close their eyes
what happens
when the deaf need answers
and the ones who know
refuse to write
a hurting world
“Silhouette”
hidden inside
with no way out
wanting to speak
with no voice
remembering what was
not happy with now
what will be?
groaning
for change
crying
for direction
waiting
for motivation
what will be?
“Creating a Home”
some people
choose
to live in hell
on earth
some think
that God
should be
nicer
allowing more
grotesque things
to satisfy
souls
yet only the soul
who chooses hell
would be
satisfied
“Howling”
I
get
tired
of
being
bit
by
wolves
in
the
church
“Statues of Liberty”
being free
to do what you want
isn’t freedom
“Soul on a String”
sadness rises in my heart
as I watch them
watch them
driven by darkness
forced to look
not knowing they’re forced
craze in their eyes
HAVING to have more
yet never satisfied
porn lures you in
and leaves you hanging
thinking of what more to say
to GET the girl
what more to do
to lure her in
a game of cat and mouse
one always on the move
one always chasing
watching what “literally”
USED to turn me on
having no effect
a freedom
not only lived
but given away
I wonder who’ll want it
today
