The Devil Within

The Devil Within

There is a great evil among us;
attempting to conquer and win;
with a tireless will to become us;
for he is the devil within.

We are keenly aware that he exists;
tho his whispers; we barely hear;
an annoying mosquito; he persists;
me thinking he’s

No Enemies To Love

No Enemies To Love

To love your enemies; seems noble, to some;
but it all depends on your perspective;
to have no enemies; seems more noble to one;
God is the only one who is objective.

When the Master told us to love our neighbor;
he didn’t just refer

My One True Love

My One True Love

I know my love followed me into this life;
the woman who’s destined for me;
she is the woman God chose as my wife;

To The Wise

Life usually begins, as an uphill climb;

Living In Ecstasy

Living In Ecstasy

As I grow old; my lovers become dreams;

memories can cut both ways;
if you never are
