He Binds Me

cold and lonely I shiver
questioning what I have become
but through the darkness, persistently
reaches a Pure and Holy One

He calls me in my darkness
and too, He calls in dreams
He seeks my soul to bind to his
and for me he intervenes

through my friends he binds me his
and through my sin he cares
through little things he speaks to me
though oft I’m unawares

When love, that mighty weapon
cuts through the thick black night
a see the times my faith was lit
Again I feel it burning bright

He binds me his with a quiet peace
when I in holy places choose to stand
though too, through my night he comes
When I have let go his loving hand

to be sure, I feel his grace
His hand still reaches for me to find
and though sadly I oft forget
He passes through darkness for me to bind

Evil behind smiling eyes…

Evil so strong, so subtle, so convincing…
that legions of trusting follow

First a smile, then a touch,
Their embraces calm our fears

A favor sought doesn’t feel right,
but their words are candy sweet

Walking cautiously forward,
again, trusting, the deed is done

Betrayed by them they comfort,
they smile, they reassure

Disgusted by our own actions
We turn again to pain

And the very ones that cut us
we embrace because they know it

And through our pain they can find
a slave. Indeed they’ve found a few

Though misguided we walk with Evil
a true passion remains within

It’s to that spirit we must listen
Only then will Evil retreat

—-

One must know what one is getting
into before one agrees to things

Swing Heil!

Reading Boy

Reading Boy

A quiet room
In which to look
A young boy hefts
A curious book

The cover brilliant
And pages light
His intentions are fixed
On this beckoning sight

Page by page
His imaginations soar
His feet once grounded
Now leave the floor

A new world thrills
His every sense
A book transforms
To magic from hence

Dark Lord

Chosen was he, but lost he became
When fear led to anger, to hatred, to blame

Twisted by greed. Convinced by a lie
Refusing the way, a Dark One arose

And so it was, the one that he loved
Let go of her life when ambitions were known

All the while the force could explain
The Jedis’ intent. The Chancellor’s disdain

Darkened. Lost. Unwilling was he
To listen to wisdom, the chosen to be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unnerving that he killed for her love
Turned on his friends for her love
Embraced the dark for her love
Trusted a Sith for her love
And in the end
When all was done
She died &
He was left without her love
