BIG BUTCH BARKS BACK


Created for some of the more raw and painful aspects of growing up different. Sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always honest. Sometimes, the language is very harsh because pain is not gentle.

I am determined to chronicle all aspects of living with absolute candor and genuineness. It allows a connection with others at a deep soul level because they see that you understand their struggles when you reveal your own. If you are offended by cursing or expect the beauty you see on my other blog, Whisper Creek, then you may want to avoid this one. This is the very human side of me, the one God plainly sees. It is the part that God is healing. Let that be my witness.

Ying Yang: The Human Condition



I'm a stone cold butch
I'm a scared little child
I'm a quiet introvert
who can go buck wild.

I am full of great love
but can scream in a rage
I'm free as an eagle
yet a bird in a cage.

I'm an agnostic with great faith
I'm a sinner and a saint
I draw the peace symbol
and I wear war paint.

I cry until I laugh
then I laugh until I cry
I look  to take my life
then I fight not to die.

I'm a little troublemaker
then dream I'm Superman
cause a little mischief
then save all I can. 

I'm an angel and a devil
just a dirt poor millionaire
I'm a reason for concern
I'm an answer to prayer.

I am that I am. I am me.

Smashing



I'm smashing into you 
while beholding your face
the perfection, the moment
the passion embrace.

And I melt into you
and finally feel whole
cause you saw inside of me
my own boyish soul.

And in your eyes I see home
like a prodigal child
I am safe once again
and in love I am wild.

My lips touch yours
until the end of all time
for our souls interlock
as our hearts intertwine.
