Not built of stone round temples grand
where mighty Gods eternal stand,
Nor in fine lines of poetry
that capture His divinity;
Not in a painting, nor a song,
though in these arts such grace may throng;
Not in the vaults of sacred halls
where pious men to prayer are called,
Nor in the vast and endless sky
above the firmament espied;
Not under rocks, nor in deep pools,
in words of wise men, nor of fools;
Not in the dark, nor light of day,
nor in between where shadows play.
I find my Heaven in your eyes
where all of my own prayers reside.

The Revolution
The revolution will not be televised, it will not be sanitized, desensitized. No, this revolution will be live, living, breathing, everything worth fighting for. The revolution - will be - poeticized.
This revolution will not be caught on cameras, will not be polarized by the media. It dies standing on its bare feet before it is forced to fall on knees not willing to bend. The revolution is much more likely to be found on the run. It is subject to no one.
Our masterless words are the burning bush of this big monopoly, big money society. They are setting fire to the cities and moving the mass millions of the consumer culture.

Bleeding Hero
How can I explain my feelings to you? My bitter, tarnished love, how it burns in my throat like too much soda. How I hate that I love you more than you know. But I love you all the same.
I am the burnt-out streetlight under the falling night sky. The fleeting joy of a balloon that slips away to the clouds. And I'm sick of band-aids that don't work, I'm sick of being the bleeding hero.
Don't you realize what I'm worth? You dropped me like a penny on the street corner and everything went black. I gave you a choice and you ripped my love to shreds.
Love isn't what I read about in sweet-dream magazines. It's not worth the doubt, but

Girl on Fire
She's burning again.
Her fiery spirit,
zealous and mercurial,
sets the world ablaze.
The cleansing conflagration
is the only home she's ever known.
There are bright sparks,
where heat roars
and happiness burns like a supernova,
leaving a chagrin hollow
that sustains her weak will
until the next ray of hope.
The world blisters around her,
life fleeing from her presence,
like a wildfire;
she chars all that's near without distinction,
just looking
for a place to belong.
Find her amongst the ashes
like the phoenix immortal
blazing through eternity
as time begins to ossify.
Sit and watch
as her life goes up in flames.
