Dead bones living or trying to anyways
Feeling all skin stripped away
Flesh torn, spirit wilting, raw and bleeding
Dejected. Despairing. Tormented. Isolated.
Why do you stay so silent?
Why is your Kingdom so slowly brought?
Why do connections have to be so slowly birthed?
Will you give me community, deep and healing, as I need it?
Why have you pierced me with your double-edged sword?
Freely I give you my heart and love
Do not wound your beloved bride any longer.
Let us go to the groom's chambers and be intimate.

All I have are questions without answers

How naked do you want me?
Am I not already fully exposed?
Have I not cast off all my garments before you?
Do you not already know my secrets intimately?

My lips have kissed you.
My love for you has been declared.
We have been one flesh ...
and yet I feel only your spite and contempt.

Transcendent

Transcendent
This love is transcendent
Going across age to age
Without condition
And scoops me up into the story
Though ignorant and virgin
Yet I realize
I therefore can only learn
It is a good place to be
And all others
At one time in their lives
Have stood exactly here
Transcendent

Pelham Beauty

There is such ravishing beauty
all around me
That it makes it easy to see why you called
the world "good" on its birthday.
Somewhat still, yet full of life
just below the surface
I am grateful to take in this delightful
treasure called Pelham Bay.
Months from now its beauty will be
changed appearing in reincarnated form
And a new beauty will quietly await
her many suitors to gaze with desire.
