    Choices – A Poem

    January 31, 2023

    Choices are fragile, necessary things. Tantalizing, agonizing little things. Brimming with endless possibilities. Accoutrement laced anticipations. Funneling into careless cessations. The question is asked, “Which way should we go?” The question echoes, “Does anyone know?” Arrogance answers, “Just enjoy the show.” Ignorance answers, “There’s no way to know!” Malevolence answers, “Don’t rock the boat!” Yet, choices are tenacious little things. Creeping through our minds even while we sleep. Twisting and tunneling deep in our souls. Every action straddled with reactions. Consequences lurk beneath distractions. They ask, “Is day any different than night?” I believe that shadows prove the sunshine. My…

    What Will Become of Us All? – A Poem

    December 21, 2022

    White picket lines of peaceful persuasionCannot undo the cost of invasionEndless fine lines of baser perversionsWeakened strains of moral conversionsFlawlessly wielding falsified searchesWhat will become of us all?Cold, calculating meaningless data Hiding underneath the smiling strata Clinging to less fortunate ideas Laughing, dragging, while dreaming of sionsIntricate veins coursing with cursesWhat will become of us all?Meanwhile, one white robed throng preaches the WritTenaciously keeping holy flames litFalling valiant, bleeding from vicious slits Ten thousand swords critically slashing hitsBattered, beleaguered saints climb past ashen fritz What will become of us all?One bright light pierces the eastern skyA triumphant shout falls from…

    The Gates of Hell – A Poem

    October 25, 2022

    I’ll take you to the gates of Hell I’ll show you what’s there It’s a horrific, sadistic, gaudy affair With twisted metals and steep swirling stairs I’ll take you to the throne of Death I’ll show you the way It sits atop the fork of two great lakes One called disunion, the other disgrace I’ll take you to the bowels of Hades I’ll show you who’s there The liars, the lied-to, ordinary faces With haunted red eyes and bent bloody feet I’ll take you to the edge of Sorrow I’ll show you the pain The broken, intrepid, intricate traces Longing…

    Relearning Love – A Poem

    October 18, 2022

    If He is love, then love is good regardless of the pain. Perhaps the good is better once the hurt has filled our veins. Maybe love is worth more than we can explain. God gave us hearts that break. And grace to put them back together again.

    Daemonium Avi (Narratio Carmine) – Demonic Bird (A Narrative Poem)

    October 25, 2021

    A Brief Introduction Daemonium Avi is a narrative poem based on an actual event that took place in the parking lot of my church. Daemonium is the Latin word for demonic, and avi is the Latin word for bird. I believe the title accurately describes the subject of the poem. Demonic Bird seemed to carry more gravitas in Latin. Plus, what is poetry without a little dramatic flair? However, the contents of this poem are true, and no dramatization could adequately capture the intensity of the spiritual encounter. Hopefully, poetically sharing this moment will remind others that the supernatural invades…

    The Burden of Truth (A Poem)

    December 21, 2019

    The burden of Truth is heavy. Sometimes it feels like too much to bear. The weight of knowledge is forever. It grips the heart with an icy stare.
