Glimmer of Enthrallment

I looked in your eyes and saw infinity
Your breath mingled with mine and I tasted the beginning of time
You touched my hand and I felt the pillars of the universe move
I listened to your heartbeat and heard the roar of the waters of creation

My very being rested into yours as you
bared your soul to the essence of me

I spiraled with you
away from the profane
into the endless expanse of the sacred

Watching in amazement as new edifices
rose out of the chaotic ruin of the edge of infinity

Other Side of Tomorrow

I'll see you on the other side of tomorrow

I'll take your hand and we'll both walk through the sorrow

The path looks dark and the way's unclear

It seems there's no end in sight and we're full of fear

But I know we'll make it to the other side of tomorrow   

When the winds of change make us think we've lost our way

We'll stand our ground and let the tempest rage

And we'll both be on the other side of tomorrow

We’re just tiny specks

of insignificant somethingness

flying through time & space on

a journey to nothingness

Reaching for the stars

before they’re snatched from our grasp

So I reach for your hand

knowing we’re going to follow this adventure together

even as we stand alone

on the other side of tomorrow

We’ll hoist future generations onto our shoulders

lifting them to heights we couldn’t even dream

And through them achieve immortality

On the other side of tomorrow

I'll take your hand and we'll both walk through
to the other side of tomorrow

Re-Forming Me

Re-Forming Me

I am standing my ground
            as the tempest roars

It swirls around me
                        threatening to rend my spirit from my soul
            to shred all of time and space
to rip the essence of my being from the very fiber of my existence

I breathe in the chaos
tasting bitter
                  choking dust
            drawing in every last bit
knowing
            there has to be clean air somewhere on the other side
  sucking for my last gasping breath

Until there is nothing for me to do but exhale

I hold onto it a bit longer
terrified that the exhalations will
            redefine destruction
as the chaos
                        exits
         my being

I open my mouth to
            PUSH OUT
                        the enraged roar building
              within the inhaled
                    whirlwind
        held within my core

And

out flow blessings
out flows new growth
out flows sweet water
out flow fresh winds of change

I empty my lungs and turn myself
            inside out
to completely clear the murky hurricane
from every darkened doorway
                                    crevice
                                       and pore
of my conscious and unconscious selves

And

I inhale the changed storm
            realigning the regurgitated me
until I am once again whole
                        intact
            complete and

                                                            Still

Standing my ground

Transubstantiation

Transubstantiation

Forgive me father, for I have sinned

What is sin but an act of unsacredness towards another

Hail Mary, full of grace
How can I ask for absolution
when there is no guilt inside

I've rent my clothes
I've cried many tears
Sackcloth and ashes
are the garments you wish me to wear

But I have no other pennance
I can do
that will make you realize
the pain that has been dealt to you
has been your own doing

You won't be free until you release me

So drive the wooden stake
deep
through my heart
Put to death the thing
that is
tearing out your own

Exorcise the demon
that possesses your thoughts
Free the phantom that haunts
your every dream

I won't be free until you forgive yourself
