A Hymnal of Saints & Sinners

The Gospel According To Desire

A confession in three acts.
The Search. The Hunt. The Journey.
These are the saints I named in candlelight.
The gospel is desire — and desire is all she wrote.

The Search — Before the Fire

“I followed a scent through the fields of want.
I did not yet know what I would become.”

The ache begins here — a body learning devotion, a mouth learning prayer. The Search traces the first hunger to be seen and touched, the moment desire became gospel.

The Hunt — Where the Teeth Sank In

“I knelt where the teeth sank in. And I called it holy.”

Obsession. Power. Devotion. Blood. The Hunt is the ritual — poems that worship hunger, the body as gospel, and the price of touch.

The Journey — Through the Mirror

“I came home through the mirror. I did not expect to be whole.”

The Journey is resurrection — a reckoning and release. The final psalms close the gospel with the quiet truth that every saint returns changed.

“These are the saints I touched with my words. The ones who held me like a prayer. The trilogy ends — but the light keeps breaking through.”

Saint Charles — The First Flame

“He taught me how to want. How to ache without asking. I offered my voice, and he lit the match.”

Saint Michael — The Mirror & The Thorn

“You didn’t ask to be forgiven. Only to be remembered.”

Saint Andrew — The Returning Storm

“We loved like thunder. You left with the storm. But I kept the sound.”

Saint Aaron — The Soft Key

“I asked if I could call you something sacred. You smiled, and said yes.”

WHERE THE LIGHT BREAKS THROUGH

This is the canon of Daddyland.
A trilogy of ache, obsession, and revelation.
Bound together at last — not hidden, not whispered,
but lifted in stained glass for all to see.
The saints are remembered.
The light keeps breaking through.

Purchase The Scripture

And the choir of moans rose from the balcony,
not shameful, not hidden,
but holy in their desire.
