Unpacked Suitcase

Unpacked suitcase

Chestnut shadowed curves

Small perfect window

Innocent silhouette

Hidden year on year

Unpacked suitcase

Honeysuckle malice

Blistered passion

Solace of hope

Past becomes the future

Unpacked suitcase

Mistress of crimson

Mania or despair

Legacy `filled chest

Ransom’s treasure

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life on My account will find it – Matthew 10:39.

My Headstrong Heart

Flowers of harvest rust

Loveliest crimson

For two small sparrows

Comfort and conquer

My headstrong heart

As the thickening atmosphere

Sheds its natural dread

Where shadows turn

And flickering light melts

My headstrong heart

Everything is laid bare

There is nothing left to say

No sound, no movement

Just the forgiveness offered to

My headstrong heart

Another Life

Under white leaves

Orange evening grass

Unravelled Stitches

Drizzle silent love

In the light of another life

Psalm 13

A vacuum within realities

Threatening rumblings

Growing more intense

Deep within me

Wars take place

After the last door has shut

The liquid of experience

Asks each question

And offers freedom

From regret and despair

Listen to your promises

For the sharing of your blood

Is the reason why I saw,

Forgiveness in your love

Psalm 12

I have seen justice

I have watched as others escaped

I have cherished goodness

I have seen weakness burn.

On falling leaves and rising suns

On something as lifeless as rock

On a far away persistent clock

On a granite boulder sealed to hold

A time when things were made to live

A furnace heat to purify silver

A fragment of a splintered heart

A place that once meant nothing

You remain faithful now and forever

You protect all that are oppressed

You reveal yourself in scarlet nails

You provided everything in your sacrifice
