      Quill and Flame

      I.A molten twilight ink dripsacross my most longing parchment—each word fragile as an emberglowing with untold tales. II.My quill trembles in my fingers,a poetic bird on the cusp of song,plumage dipped in a black riverof all my unwritten desires. III.At the...

      Eagle Eyes

        Eagle Eyes   Mesmerizing bird eyes Precious gifts of the eagle spirit Reflect the depth of your soul   Hidden vulnerability  Beneath the hypnotizing light  Awakens the dragon within me   I want to protect you with my wings To defend you against all evil  With my fiery breath   But suddenly I stop...

      • Damian, I sense nuances of a spiritual battle. This made me think. I love this.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. There was in a sense, the inner conflict that goes on inside my head. The proverbial devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. Good vs. Evil, Light vs. dark, etc. I think we all have a spiritual battle going on inside, as well as in the world. That’s just my opinion though. Appreciate you.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That was a belief of mine when I wrote a lot of my lyrics, I always wanted a glimmer of hope to hold on to. Appreciate you.

      • I swear, you’re able to write in a way that it’s like you’re writing my thoughts or feelings. There’s an undercurrent of spiritual searching in this that I think could be a finding of self. Which is about the deepest of spiritual journeys we can undertake. It feels brooding but with light glimmering through it. Truly gifted you are, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with these lyrics my friend. I told you, we’re kindred spirits, we think and feel very similar on a lot of issues. It was spiritual, I was always searching for my identity, I knew I didn’t know everything at that time. Mistakes would be made, but I wanted to understand why humans hurt each other, why I got bullied in school, I wanted answers. And not some flimsy excuse being substituted for truth. I always instinctively would put glimmers of light in my lyrics, because deep down I still tried to have hope. It’s really hard to do since I’m pessimistic by nature. lol. This was the one song I thought could have been a hit. I mean big hit, gives me goosebumps good. Joey G, always called this song, “The Ace Up His Sleeve” hit. If needed he’d always say. Had a little Lindsey Buckingham vibe. Personally, I’ve grown to believe over time that it was a carrot to dangle. That was deep… Thank you for such an awesome compliment. Appreciate you.

      Poem Within a Poem

      I do love letting my mind now roamin some poem within a poem;hear rhymes between these lines,put there by my unaware designs. Just a single moment in time,camouflaged under all this rhyme;the truer message I intend to sendwhile these stanzas...
