Psalm of fury
What the hell are you doing?
Trying to teach me something?
Am I really such a slow learner?
You take me to such heights
and throw me in such depths
simultaneously
I’m both invincible and crushed
this weight on my shoulders
slowly killing me while making me stronger
You’ve been taunting me.
You lift me so high
to taste glimpses of a world
where I could live powerfully
with my whole heart
sing my fears and my joys
with a forest of songbirds
and be
loved
Only to toss me into a pit ...

Utopian Nothingness
we leave this dimension to enter another I was discussing with another poet
about this...how we don't alter who we are from one plane to the next
some people believe they will all of a sudden be perfect I don't believe that's the case
rather into the fray of another world we enter.…” - Crimsin
“it's interesting you should bring that up just lately I'd been thinking along those lines basically that the same people we are in life will continue later... I don't believe we will all of a sudden be great people later living in some type of utopia... it makes no sense......

Creed
Grateful for knowledge
not in control
sun rises and sets
I play no role
above any one religion
beyond uncertainty
willingness to believe
in a higher entity
dogmatic doctrines
unnecessary for grace
confident belief
conduct has a place
my will internal
offers nothing more
in service, upraised
of this I am sure
learning from experience
growing spiritually
encouraging others
practising loyalty
engaging principles
of respect and fairness
demonstrating...

CHURCH!!
My church leadership is popular by demand, according to all the plan's, formulated well orchestrated,
Following down the chain of command!
With no expectations from, my congregation their only purpose and intention, is to go around collecting!
Tithes and offerings from those, so cheerful and willing, volunteering and giving!!
All for a small portion of the lords 🙏 blessing!
Selling hope! Instead of dope!!
Need sum psalms and prayers 🙏 to help you cope, well here take notes!!
The best Bible emergency...

The Epilogue
I was borne as a sketch
A rough draft...skitted into a script
Lingering..languishing
In the aftermath of ingenious engineering
It's an uncanny thing
To co-exist within the { con-fines }
Of salutations and lamentations
I knew rite from wrong
From early on
Intuitively
Chasing an itch
I could never scratch....beneath the surface
Of my dwelling
{ human conditioning }
Sure has a way of taking its toll
Upon the Soul ...

Villanelle Nr.06 — Motivational Speaker (A NaPo-2017 Day-31 bonus villanelle)
The speaker pranced across the stage
with ‘carpe diems’ on his lips
the listeners clapped entranced, amazed
a preacher’s son, yep, born and raised
he knew the form of rhetoric
the speaker pranced across the stage
and pumped the spell-bound tribe half-crazed
to swallow their apprenticeship
the listeners clapped entranced, amazed
and starry-eyed half in a daze
they punched the air and let it rip
the speaker pranced across the stage
and midst the giant screen ablaze ...

divine bird that is a ship
There was once a god.
He could make big storms
and throw worlds into oblivion.
His wish was reality.
The Fire of the Depths
and the eye of the hurricane
were his as much as
the comets in the sky.
One day he did
his wrath falling
over the men
and the places
where they had been.
There was so much damage
that only a bird
and two snails remained.
The bird was aware
that he itself was not a god
and the snails would not joke
about something so absurd.

This New Day is the Next Step in Our Journey
There are no fence sitters where Donald Trump is concerned
And his effect on America and its populace has been biblical
Picture Jesus with Lazarus
However, just as in John 11:39, after so much time in the tomb; "Lazarus" surely stinketh
America,
now alive like no time other than its genesis,
or a major war,
Has spoken
Joe Biden is now President
Awaken!!
Arise!!
Lazarus!! Come forth!!
"The Donald" is gone
Joe Biden has arrived
Once Again
A history maker
First elected to the Senate...

Weeding The Fools
Just me and my muse, at play in a field
of wishful thinking, so I sow my own seeds
and reap the sweetness of my family.
You don't know me, a well-worn pen,
assuming me wrong, in blind eyesight.
But that's the way I am wary, not a fool.
Sarcastically, my feet touch the ground
skipping my own rope. Listening to nature
with my mind awake. Knowing the echoes
are only memories of my soul's awakening
with nature. Not braying the horn of a dethroned
jackass. I snap my own black eyes peas.

Two Faiths, One Love - A diary entry from my daughter.
I thought it was sweet that he wished to keep our relationship pure. We’d both known the love of others, but he was on a new journey of faith and taking a long view on life. Now that view extended into eternity. I was walking beside him but not accepting of his faith. Still, I was interested and curious at how it influenced his life.
Last night as we kissed after a church banquet, I felt his swollen desires pressing against my stomach. Embarrassed, he turned to go. I said, “No, wait.” When he turned back, his panicked eyes were those of a young neighbor boy searching my...

A Brief Glance at Evil
Evil is no thing.
It’s not a boy, it’s not a girl,
it’s not a boy/girl thing.
It isn’t binary at all, or even
outside the binary.
Those things are all human.
A fetish is an empty shell,
a limp handshake,
a careless word,
an angry shrieking thing of hell,
and hell is not a thing at all
except inside your skull.
It’s not a boy, it’s not a girl,
it’s not a boy/girl thing.
It isn’t binary at all, or even
outside the binary.
Those things are all human.
A fetish is an empty shell,

a careless word,
an angry shrieking thing of hell,
and hell is not a thing at all

A LOOK INSIDE MY LIFE
I am deeply moved by the support I have received as I appreciate your kindness and love and and encouragement and respect...As I exchange my thoughts with you as I explain my journey and travel and walk, as it has been a long road of healing. Let me begin as the tides turn dealing with different types of cancers, attacking my body and soul and mind as I battle, with prostate cancer treatments with radiation. For from out of nowhere I had a brain tumor treated with steroids to the brain, then I had a thyroid growing in my throat treated with steroids then I found out, that I have stage 4 lung...
