"How Many Times"
How many times have I trusted, only
to have that trust abused by some sick and
twisted monster, whose greatest thrill was to
ravish a child's body—shattering their innocence?
How many times have I trusted one with
the inner depths of both my heart and soul,
openin' the doors that they might roam freely
through the halls and valleys within?
How many times have I entrusted someone
with the works of my hands, my eye,
heart, and thoughts painfully revealed through
pen and paper?
How many times must I lose these revelations
of heat and soul, by indifferent ones
before I learn to still away unto myself never
to return into such a heartless land?
How many times have I sat and prayed
to God above to afford me that one true love,
only to have such a dream swiped away by some
cold-hearted sociopath?
How many times must I die before I learn
to live, or walk through suffocating darkness
before I'm able to at least see and embrace
that luminous light?
How many times must I reach inside
and rip out pieces of my heart—just to have
something to give—or split the threads of my
very life, just to make others happy?

"Mother of Heaven"
Lady of love, Mother of heaven, look favorable down
upon me.
Teach me your binding laws, your beautiful and
wondrous ways.
Help me to walk life's journey ever so bravely—Aid
me, Mother, in all my days.
Lady of love, gentle and caring; yet stern and stout.
Teach me, Mother, to discover mine own will, to exercise
it in full.
Beloved Nuit, Mother of All, lend me your sight,
help me figure it all out.
