Wings

Aerial muscles pulsating

Provide the lift for flight

Unused wings grow stronger still

A birthright unexplored

Avian freedom beckons clear

It grips the heart with purpose

A fearless search for promises

Across the deep unknowns

Yet seen from the empty nesting place

Where the flight did first begin

A silhouette against setting sun

Provides the wave farewell

Spoiled

Spoiled

Like sour milk

Or rotten eggs

Like ruined surprise

Or premature present finding

Same as rewarded tantrums

And lenient “love”

Polygamy or Idolatry?

Polygamy or Idolatry?

Close bonded relationship

Draws in one direction

Or another.

Either it out weighs God

Or God out weights it.

How odd to think

Of this as divine love triangle

When the marriage bonds are

Strongest towards the Creator.

Think the beautiful harmony

Of love that could be

In passionate relationships

With almighty and spouse

Jealously fighting for true understanding

Of both and of self.

Golden

Outlook changes color

Of world red

To gold

Vibrant ambient hue

Fills with hope

Replaces ignorant determination

With optimistic confidence

The metallic air

Inhales mental confusion

Exhales simple contentment

Warmth of soul

Deep unanswered questions

Succumb to atmosphere

In quiet understanding

Gagged Interrogation

I would reply

If they would let me speak

But the goal is destruction

They’re not looking for answers

They want self-satisfaction

Feeling injections of worth

At the expense of my error

So I sit through this gagged interrogation

And listen to their venomous words

Knowing that in hope and truth

I hold the vaccine
