Lillith poemI am the first
Not the downfall
of man
I am no Eve

All I asked for
All I wanted was
Equal means
Equal measure

None to subdue
But at our feet
Fell the earth
'Ere she came

I will not be
forgotten
I will not be
dismissed

Woman first
I stand strong
against
hypocrite man

Whore I am
You loved me
so well
in darkness

By day
You disregard
my rightful place
Yet grasp at me

My attentions
wanton
My ways
too much my own

So I languish
exiled
But herald
heroine and whore

To plead
my own defense
impossible
who would listen

To the likes
of a woman
Scorned by heaven
And banned from hell.
The Truth In NothingMartyred by time, as peace is known, we burn silently
Screaming nonsense as the masses are lead astray and awry
We find there is none but love; ignored, battered, beaten down
Still we crave it all the more

What we can't have is green grass and apples, brighter on the other side
Guided by the glimmer of a hope for something better
It is true beauty to which we are blind
Trivial gift of nothing special destined to disappear

We strive without regard for an unseen future
Driven by the will, never sure if we fail or succeed
Do we make the attempt, regardless of the repercussions
Haunts the question of an answer unknown.

And so we burn
What Is NaturalIn the before time
When the circle turned unbroken
Human hands and feet
Pounded out the rhythm of life
The storytellers were revered
And kin and kith meant everything.

In the time of being young
Before understanding stripped
The bright eyes from man
Humanity stood upon the earth
Ekeing out what he could.

Happy to do so
We ran with the buffalo and deer
We listened to the wind in the trees
Knowing with certainty
There was something to learn
From the speech and deed of each species.

The instrument of man’s hands
Grew fierce with time
No longer to linger with the divine
Resisting against the struggle to survive
It seem
Decisions Times Three SquaredThere is no such thing as a victimless conflict.

Peace lay dirty on the table,
The bloodshed of war seems cleaner,
Closer to the touch and easier to obtain,
War most often appears the clearer plan of action,
While peace leaves much room for dread,
I make these statements from observation,
Not from flights of deluded fancy,
But for the reasons of understanding, as war is waged,
And the warriors of rage on both sides fight,
It is the soldiers of peace that are often counted among the dead.
Survival of the FittestAs I travel;-
      crawling,
            walking,
                  kicking and screaming

I swear to you all
    I
         will
               survive.
Conversation With An AngelThe angel stood stark white before me
I could but imagine the purity it retained
Had I not fallen from grace.

Come closer, he bade
I stepped hesitantly forward,
Only a few feet and no more.

How far you stand from me, he tempted
I answered, I fear what I do not know
But you do know me, the angel assured

I stared at the ground upon which I stood
Come closer, I heard the cherub urge again
Stand near me, he offered

Relenting to the request I took a few steps forward
Keep coming, he solicited
His hand now held out in my direction.

I stared where his feet might have been
Had the light surrounding him
Been not so brilliant.
