A beautiful home.
A beautiful wife.
A beautiful child.
A beautiful life.


All these things he has—
he shuns.
He shades his eyes
from rising sun.
He knows his lust
is his undone
(As if he is
the only one.)


All of us,
entrapped by flesh,
feel the hunger--
snap in stress--
desire whelps the sanity—
to shed the duty and be free.


Satiate
the gnawing need
to eat with hands
in quell of greed—
But my fate?
I like to sleep…
unmet desire,
nightmare’s seed.


I understand
Satanic feed
upon my very soul.
Gratefully,
I mark each day---
each day passing--is my goal.


All that Lucifer became,
was search for solace from the pain…
Temptation is his only duty…
That in remorse we know the beauty
of denial of the self---
each greedy need
a flame of Hell.

Amen.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

We're all moths baby ... slaves to the flame
the fire has no gender ... answers to many a name
We all know the same sins ... all taste the pain and shame
only we can set ourselves free ... I've only myself to blame

someday I'm gonna break this chain ... be a butterfly again



tis never easy being a moth,
tis not easy being the flame.
what some never see is--
sometimes ... most times ...
they are one in the same.
