Jesus' Puberty

His little-boy voice
grows deep and strong. A Man's voice,
and more than a man.

His soft hands are filled
with strength enough to carry
out His Father's work.

His heart--a boy's heart--
blooms with a God's desire.
He seeks out His Bride.

A Faerie Cavalry

Eyes burning scarlet,
the night-mare runs tirelessly,
its black coat a void.

From afar, behold
the horn gleaming in the light---
the unicorn's strength.

The undried kelpie
returns to its ocean bed,
breathing out murder.

The Triple Atlas

Led forward by love,
the red Florentine breaks free,
out into star light.

Pious father king,
waging war for future’s sake:
His children, his shield.

So. Robed in valor,
The bold son of Ecgtheow
embraces the wyrd.

Vulgar

Not for the first time
Do I try to set in verse
Words describing her.

I weep in despair;
The best of my words fall short.
They’d diminish her.

The ink dries at last.
All words fail. In frustration,
I throw down the pen.

Paulo Maiora Canamus

To start, I shall sing
Of the goodness of wisdom
That ordains justice.

And second I’ll sing
The beauty of love itself,
And the day love died.

Then in conclusion
I’ll sing loudly of truth, and
The power Truth holds.
