1843 At The Altar of Heaven and Grace… I Grow Old [3]
[by S. David] [art by Mia Rognstad]

And the air shimmers
Above the candle’s fire
As my prayers rise to
Reach my Lord,
Whose Voice I await
To seek me out
To bring sage words
To my needy ears,
To strengthen
My ailing heart.
I bring oblations,
I bring flowers,
I drink the Sacred Soma,
And at the Altar
Of Heaven and Grace,
There may I grow
Old in joy
And happiness.

Follies of

Unmoving, staring off
Into space, where is she?
Doves stand before her,
She does not see.
A butterfly flitters
About her head, she
Does not see. Where
Is she, into what
Realm has her mind
Slipped away? And she
Is not happy with
Herself. Dreamily,
She stands behind
Herself, boring a hole
Into her own head.
Put or take,
In or out,
A pale ghost of
Herself seeks change
In herself,
Seeks a new becoming.
Always a becoming,
But into what?

Fully seeing.“I

To see how you’re
Seeing life these days”

Spread out

It was our third date
A fall date
She looked at me
A quizzical look
On her face and
Unbuttoned her blouse
Her breasts

I held my breath
I had wished

Some to be reached
Spiritually
Some to be reached
Stepping across
You can
Just
Do it
Look see
Ah but what
Happens when
Two from
Different and
Neither
Ours meet
Come
It happened
A mysterious
Place whose
I will not tell
But listen
As Death and
A Fey first
Meet who
Speaks does
It matter

8080 Anyone for a Snowball Fight
[by S. David] [art by Nick Harris]

The hell you say
Well this is it
Hell my friend
You’ve arrived
Reached the goal
You’ve long sought
In word and deed
And it’s worse
A demon greets
You at the maw
No St. Peter here
Torments await
But a new one
A cunning one
To tease not even
Hurt you
You’ve said it
So many times
Look around
Here before you
Enter
Here it is at
The portal
Hell seemingly
Frozen over enjoy
The entrance
To your worst
Dreams but
Right now
Anyone for
A snowball
Fight

8050 Woman in Love
[by S. David] [art by Bayou Faiza]

And they pervade
Your body
Your being
Your posture
Your carriage
Your face
When emotions
Run strong
Run hot
There is
A set
To a person
Others
Some others
Can see
Perhaps it is
That mysterious
Body glow
And here
In the pool
In the bath
He looked
At her back
And he knew
She was yes
She was
In love
But was it
With him

8038 Perdida de la inocencia
[by S. David] [art by Julia Fernandez]

Time love
The toys
Put them aside
You’ve put
Your toes in
Kicked off
Your heels
Kicked up
Your heels
No no waste
And only in
A vestige
A loss of
Innocence
For you are
You are
And butterflies
Ecstatic
Butterflies
Flitter
Though
Tasted
You still
Taste
Of that
Joy that
Beguiled
Smile love
Bring me
You again
Found

8034 Child of War 1
[by S. David] [art by Bayou Faiza]

War
Which war
Any war
Since ideology
Reared
Its ugly head
Any war
And there is
Death
Maiming
Tears
Grief
Separation
But life reaches
Out must
Reaffirm
Itself and
Goodbyes
Passion
And children
And war
Strikes home
Winners
Losers
Children
Of the war
Any war
Maimed
Behold what
War has done
Let the architects
Fight
The wars

8014 Angel
[by S. David] [art by Kristina Carroll]

But she came
To earth
No it couldn’t
Have been on
A mission
From above
The God is
Not that cruel
No she must
Have come
On vacation
Fell in with
The wrong crowd
They must have
Converted her
Perverted her
Or was she
In reality
A human
A woman
Named ‘Angel’
On yes an Angel
Angel of
The Night
A sinning
Tattooed
Bitch who’ll
Spread and
Make you pay
To play
Or else
Or maybe
Just ‘or else’

8016 The Last Sunset
[by S. David] [art by Kristina Carroll]

The flow
The thrumming
The drumming
In her body
In her arteries
In her veins
Begins
She had fallen
She had loved
In nightdark
His home
His dwelling
Heavy drapes
Had blocked
The day
The light
She had stayed
A night
A day
And the lust
The sex
Too powerful
Too much
Lust
Blind Lust
He was in her
And caresses
And kisses
Became nibbles
Became a bite
And she left
Bleeding
Into her
Last sunset
She would be
She now was
His
