Vulnerable
And in any given moment of vulnerability,
the pain will knock loudly at my door,
Looping in and out of conscious contact-
Sense the shadows sliding surreptitiously
Down the steps of ancient temples.
I’ve been in possession of better intentions,
And an observer of bitter blows.
Seen love delivered door to door,
Nurtured attraction on fog filled evenings,
Collided carelessly with ego unkempt and unsteady on its feet.
Shattered feelings lying like broken eggs on the backbone of the universe,
Bliss looks bleakly through reverse keyholes,
And casts a wistful eye over her shoulder…
…Was that reflected sordid smile meant for me…
A token of tarnished tremors,
Erected between the gates of golden tressed gardens,
Punctured by the pride of pretty persuasion,
Strung out on the handlebars of success,
Placated by the shrapnel of perversity.
And somewhere amongst a wall of wary whispers…
I hear God tell me to put it down…
Over and over past the gathered forces of absurdity …
…in any given moment of vulnerability

“Obedience doesn't always guarantee our desired outcome; sometimes its purpose is to teach us faithfulness to God, not to our own desires.” - Tara Leigh Cobble
"Do Not Disturb" on the door
Pile of clothes on the floor
Bedside manners, profane grammar
I've seen this scene before
Ooh, it's got me down on my knees
Begging, but I won't say please
Shell shocked and rolling, bells are tolling
But this won't be the end of me”
- Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson ©️2023 -Bedside Manners

What do you dislike about yourself?
Dislike? You sure you have the correct blog?
I am nature's greatest living miracle, the unapologetic, unimproved, American Male. Now if you'll excuse me it's almost time for a whisky and a steak. Turn up the Black Crowes.
