Bitten

Brazen glass moon like ice eyes
Fever in the chill of her gothic mask
Bitten by a creature of moonlight
Bitten and stung by her fire and touch

Identity

Identity, fragile image of broken mirrors
The start of hope and banished fears
Razor time cuts into the innocence
...

Wash Your Face

have you ever cried for someone in your whole life besides yourself?
mirror mirror on the wall who is the greatest of them all?
the one that washes the sores and cleans off the lice
and doesn't tell anyone about it

Mosque Of Omar And Jewish Temple

The Dome of the Rock was erected by the Muslim ruler Abd el-Malik in 688-691 A.D. It sits where the old Jewish temple mount was. The Roman General Titus destroyed the last Jewish temple around 70 A.D. This mosque is considered very sacred and would cause an international stir and possible war if it were destroyed.
The Jewish people begin to come back to their original homeland and after World War Two and the holocaust became the country of Israel again in 1948 under Jewish rule. They always have wanted to rebuild their temple. The city of Jerusalem went under their control during the six-day war in 1967. Jerusalem is a main point of any peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Everyone dealing with the volatile peace process in the world knows peace in the mid-east involves Jerusalem and the temple mount area.
Solomon’s Temple was the first temple built in Jerusalem and was completed around 953 BC and was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians and burned with fire in 586 BC. Zerubbabel and the returning exiles built the second temple, completing it in 516 BC. This temple was later embellished greatly by King Herod and was the temple Jesus Christ was dedicated in and preached in. Titus and the Romans destroyed this Temple in 70 AD.
Scholars such as Asher Kauffman are now saying Solomon’s original temple and the second temple built by Zerubbabel after the 70 year captivity to Babylon was aligned with the Eastern Gate and the temple was north of the Dome of the Rock mosque.

A Wink

Across the river there is thunder
A bridge of fears
Clocks of silk dreams ticking
Lovers that quit kissing

Silent Motion

Traces of a riverbed
A wilderness of self
Slow unemotional branches
Passion seems like a conclusion
...

New Names

Times are illusive flowers
Prophets on the peripheral maze
Vicious winds blow thru alleys
Painters need large windows

Elven Wood

High elves dance on the hardwood floors
Ancient oak and cherry wood banter
Stradivarius plays dreams
Acoustic guitars with spruce and rosewood
...

Go Slowly

Pearl trees like golden elephants
I sigh with gallant respite
Ornate spirit in the elven wind
Circles of pleasure

Eternity Kisses Me

Blue lake on the crest of Mountains
My dreams are peaks and valleys
Great reflections of clouds
Diamond joy with pine trees
