love,
Drawn to thy beauty, grace rains down;
I choose this drowning than a drought –
Where ten thousand are called mine own;
Yet, deny thee and live without.
Skilled not enough to understand;
Words unheard, find their voice through thee;
As I reach out then find thy hand;
I see light take darkness from me.
Chaos knits together unity:
Thoughts run free, once captive in chains;
Cleansed from fear in thy purity;
Would I leave, canceling such gains?

Unique is the discipline of love
Understanding God's law
Faith holds supreme commander
Sometimes we have to fight
our way through a concrete jungle
stone cold dreams nightmare evaluates
Rocking the cradle unworthy desires
no peace or rest for the wicked deeds
in order to find the answers to hopes prayer
Truth pointing us directions
within our code of moral conduct
which supports us in our voyage
In the walk of life chaos grips hearts consumed with hate
Without faith our souls identity will become dust
Needing hugs from heaven to survive

pain, poverty,
The wind blows softly over the lonely,
The suffering think of themselves only.
A world of chaos, racism, and turmoil,
Utmost egomanias spoil our toil.
An old man groans, no decent place to live,
Are there relatives? No comfort to give?
Blow softly oh lonely wind, they care not,
They are comfortable, and all forgot.
Somewhere a child is crying his heart out,
Can anyone guess what it's all about?
Is the child hungry, lost, or cast aside?
Much abused, ill-treated, or love denied?
There are millions of cries heard on the wind,
Alas no one bothers: is man unkind?

Under a spray of cold water
Sizzles upon impact on my passionate body
Droplets of desire trickling down
You are the water phantom
Flame and water ignites a spark
Building intense harmony through silent chaos
Desire burning inside
Sensations brewing in hot lava
Your love letters licking my mind
Every alphabet is a glinting beacon in my unlit chamber
You are the conductor of my orchestra making melodies
Together we make beautiful rhythms in giving and taking

desire, love, youth,
Wrapped in the passion of the moment
engulfed in a cascade of a emotion
carried by a gushing torrent of desire
dancing on the rapids of uncertainty
two unknowing hearts intertwined
in the rapture of blinding passion
rush toward forbidden waters.
In the midst of love's blissful chaos
will two unknowing hearts whirl
perilously over confusion's cliff
and plunge helplessly toward
the jagged rocks of ill-fated love,
or will two unknowing hearts
be found desperately clinging
to the last branch of innocents?

A King and His Beauty
the audience stares
King Kong shakes shackles, breaks free…
chaos, people running away
Kong’s mistress in crowd
once free, he cannot find her…
crowd is in frenzy
the beauty nears Kong
he picks her up in his palm…
Empire building scaled
planes appear in sky
protecting Beauty, he fights…
even beasts can love
Kong falls to his death
Beauty lives to love again…
Irony defies

fire, inspiration, sun,
Fear not the flames around you,
And those you think will burn.
Move on despite the chaos,
Until you touch the sun.
Travel throughout eternity,
Until your race is won.
Never let your love extinguish,
When you touch the sun.
Live on forever caring,
For those who fear to run.
Keep your light always shining,
As you touch the sun.
Take on hope undaunted,
And believe that it will come.
Feel this pleasure ever growing,
Once you touch the sun.

dedication, devotion, faith, for her, friend, i love you, muse,
In a quiet moment
In a darkened space
In the middle of the chaos
I saw your face
As my rope was burning
Will my vision cease?
but there you stood
To give me peace

Tomorrow reveals a quiet world with words unspoken
From a tender love that was ravaged and lost
A heart once rich now poor and broken
By yesterday's betrayal and the amount it cost
Yet in coldest dark there's a flickering light
To shine and glow where your shadows form
Its splayed light rises and the heart is warm

deep, love,
Seductive tones filter the slumbered night
swashes of seda fill up an accented view
swirls of honeysuckle flicker in the breeze
and again the beauty of you is inhaled
Strip down low to the bare essentials
drench your soul in the waters of me
embrace fully in the arms of self content
and unleash chaos holding a being at bay
Enter into my entranced persona offering
let sacred dreams spill over silent borders
unburden that heavy heart hidden away
guarded, we are not who we say we are

I have always been
your shadow—guarding
your heart from hurt,
your mind from chaos.
Rest assured I watch you
only with loving intent—
that I love you with all
my guardian strength.
Rest easy in this present darkness,
for our hearts are one.
I will never abandon you.
I will fight for your worth.

Love
~~~~~
Love can make the most brilliant mind
Into that of a babbling idiot
Intellect and equations flee
The neat and ordered becomes chaos
Butterfly’s in the stomach
Cat gets your tongue
All your studies of nature
Made no mention of this
Trying to figure it out is a waste of time
The conclusion is harsh
And very simple,
Love just is.

I spring alone with forgotten memories and shattered letters, I waltz through every landscape, I leap unendingly, sprinkling imprints of my fondness as rippled dunes and filtered secrets. I am passion and chaos, beauty and power, I jog in hair ice and frost flowers, stroking my lover jealous. I pour out shields of ideas and inspirations, gently on your soul when I fondle through her arms. And when we clash, I become a dust devil, I swirl like Turnado in heights splashing debris into your eyes leading to tumultuous storms.

Many worship created things;
Some have engraved images that are dreams.
Egytians worshiped the north star;
Just as indians sought many things from afar.
Reality is a fact from above;
Altered reality is a missonseption of true love.
Law and order keeps tle peace;
Chaos came from the Romans and the Greeks.
God created atoms of many kinds;
Elements from the ground formed mankind.
To worship oneself is to be blind;
Ifs the mark of the beast that's in their mind.

love,
Hope and despair are partners,
try and figure it out,
passion in an endangered soul
that chose to give me no name.
Perhaps she needs none, who knows?
For she brought chaos to my heart,
upset my strictly precise ways.
Stars falter at her glacial glance
and the sun hides its shine in shame.
Yet I cannot bear to be
without her luscious intoxication,
like a delirious drug-addicted creature,
that knows he'll never survive, for
to be with her is a lingering death,
to be without her is eternal hell.

I fear Hatred has deepened
the thickets surrounding us,
erecting thorns where there
should be blooms.
I fear that we have defined fire
as the Condemnation of Chaos
rather than believing in the heat
of its pure, creative essences.
If there are fires to be spread,
may we be scorched with Love.

passionlonging,
This is the brawl in which my life began
For I did not live, did not become a man
Until I could speak in the chaos of the crowd
Ran with smoky eyes
Beside the living love of a fellowman
While police dogs sniffed our heels
And bit the butt of our debates
Leaving only mangled arguments
About decisions being made for us.
Today in London I measure growth
In the fraction of our blood
That flowed more like rivers before
And always I remember the taste of salt
The natal blood on my tongue
God's own symbol of my redemption
Each time I am born
So this fire alone I come fearless
Of death, longing to be born again.

love, metaphor,
so, here's the thing.
when you kiss me, there are no tsunamis.
there is no hurricane behind my eyelids and there is
no earthquake underneath us.
but there is the buzzing.
like a million, swarming bees,
rattling around inside our veins.
the buzzing is you, all soft and safe and
the swarming, well, the swarming is me.
i am all chaos, all the time.
that unending rattling
inside of your skin.
but in reality, aren't we really just the bees?
all lost and never really found, but searching -
always searching.
so tell me, honeybee.
what comes first -
the buzzing or the bees?

i listen for the sound of you
as the sun parades across the sky
i listen for the sound of you
when the moon outshines the stars
i reach out there in the beyond
and crave to hear the velvet of your voice
it calms the chaos of my mind
and soothes me to the core

devotion, for her, i love you, love, Lullaby, romantic, sleep,
Lay your weary head
Inside my warm embrace
I'll wrap my arms around you
Within them now encased
Comforted between them
Free from want or care
No chaos or mayhem
Let that go on elsewhere
Close your eyes, I've got you
Rest in knowing this
And should a little tear fall
I'll dry it with a kiss
I'll take all your troubles
And put them onto me
You just breathe in deeply
Much better now, you see?
You're tired, come, I'll hold you tight
I'll all your worries keep
And sing you gentle lullabies
Sleep now baby, sleep

The kiss of chaos
chaotic kisses,
what a gaudy
goody
this
is.
Tiny increments
of change,
lick your lips
and rearrange,
molecules
and atoms
charged,
with a random love
at large.
met you in a laundromat
feeling old and feeling fat
kissed you on a daring whim
chaos dancing on the brim,
of a mouth
like
neverwas
in my dreams and just
because.
Kiss of chaos,
random acts
altering
chaotic facts
stack the cards and
tilt the game,
I just relit
an old
flame.

evil, heaven, love,
Greed and conceit,
Masters to be of today's world,
Are fighting to establish their dominion
Of
Anarchy and chaos
By
Subjugating compassion and humbleness
But
Mighty love, that dwells in our hearts,
Once released
Would obliterate these evils and re-establish order
So
As to reflect the will of heavens:
Harmony!
