Long Fall Poems
#fall
A matter of perspective
The time has come
to reframe my thoughts about Autumn.
Plenty of friends say they love it
but I view it with suspicion
due to impending darkness and drizzle,
the start of the school year
and the end of
everything which seems positive and light.
So I’ve decided to try
that grounding technique they teach you in therapy
to help calm you down,
only I’m doing it for Autumn instead.
Think of five things you can see,
four things you can touch,
three things you can hear,
two things you can smell
one thing you can...

Lughnasadh // Shards of Summer
August 1st, Lughnasadh. The first harvest. The first feast. I laugh with the summer’s heatwave that leaves the rain a distant dream. The first harvest of autumn’s coming, the first harbinger of winter, the last night of true summer gracing my skin. So I shatter a window and collect the glass shards of the last sundown of summer. Before the leaves change colours, while I can still be myself. Before the fog rolls in, before my rainbow turns to gray and the bitter chill ahead. I peer into the looking-glass shards, and the light I see may yet still hold a trace of the warmer months.
I bake...
I bake...

Autumn Turning Winter
All over autumn leaves have fallen.
Mountains that were colored like stained glass,
now, from far away, are mostly gray,
the color of limbs, branches and trunks.
And here, close by, the leaves of autumn
lay brown on the ground
having become work for the rake and its owner.
The forecast is for rain, then colder weather is moving in
like the murder of crows that lives near by, but visits often
as though they were a band of bored neighborhood kids
going from house to house looking for mild mischief
or just something to do. ...

Russia is Getting READY For the BIG DAY !!
I want everyone to know what will happen soon.
RUSSIA will bomb my country so it can take over the world.
To prevent us from retaliating, Russia tricked the USA into disarming - over the last 35 years.
Our arsenal is so small now that the KREMLIN must be ready to "press the button."
But GORBACHEV (still in power behind the scenes) will NOT get
to enjoy his victory for very long - only "5 months"(Revelation 9.5,10).
For CHRIST has prepared for this event (nuclear war and the take over
of Western Europe, as well as the re-taking of Eastern Europe.

Nature's Girl
For Kamela
Nature’s girl, you’re a masterpiece of the Creator.
You came into my life just in time.
I’m glad that God made you as a complement of me.
Every time you smile, the sun shines.
And the rain pours when you cry.
Cannas bloom each morning you awake,
Your love renews magically as the seasons change.
Tamed red pandas savour in your caress.
Nature would lack beauty if you weren’t here.
Whenever I look at you, I see natural beauty.
You speak as someone singing a melodious song,
And the sound of your voice comforts me. ...

Livers lose
A concious state of mind
Mind the step don't miss it
Freedom from a numb sadistic
That dense state of mind
or mind of the state
blast it I self actuate
self-afflicted crimes astray
Sinister sins a sinister gate
And somewhere I'm immaculate
Where my legs been?
Deep until the pegstand
cut off the legs been
Reality or realty
they're squealing for cash
and feeling the rash
A gradual disconnect from this, really
And though I missed them
what answers best, I do confess
I miss remorse,...

Of Death And Birth: Fire And The Rose
We die with the dying:
See, they depart and we go with them.
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.'
-T. S. Elliot
I
The way of ignorance is the way home:
Go, go! Folly is the only way;
knowledge is the unlearning of itself.
Do not try harder, try less;
this is the only way, the unpropitious one.
(Love is the only lesson that can't be learned.)
The Sky and The Earth agree:
I end where I began,
the way there...
See, they depart and we go with them.
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.'

Cemetary Walk In November
This is what it is to be complete,
it is horrible.’
-Sylvia Plath
Kicking through leaves
the whitened stones unannounce themselves
to rushing air, quiet, unreckoned,
pandering to a deceased moment
which endlessly repeats its
howling, repentant song.
I am never coming back, it says,
who would, not here, not ever.
Underfoot I notice trampled clothes
and a belt, an opened packet of something,
a whiskey bottle freezes gradually to
the patchy ground.
How unholy, lifes...

[ CC ] Temporary At Best
I am November's guest
on the inside squinting
through lens flare tinting
glare on Nature's window
staring at her state of undress;
delicate auburn sundress
since cast aside
and blown away
A joy to know
sorrow's antithesist---
a true beauty to behold
when shed of her leavings
Naked, shrouded in
cascading cold mid morning
mist as if hair silver grey
bare limbs and...

One Autumn Night
I’m sitting alone in this damp street
No one but me and the moonbeams
Stars are shyly showing off their dazzling charm
The wind is passionately touching the tree’s silhouette
I'm silently watching them dancing to my mute melancholy
My volcano is strangely so wise tonight
My earthquake is finally constant
My tsunami is completely dry
No damaged fantasy
No query for a smashed memory
October’s moon is so plump
No more you within its sheen
I know, it’s a...

THE LENGTH OF THE TRIBULATION
Let me say what i've said for several years:
"5 months" (Revelation 9.5,10) as the length of the TRIB.
Fundies hold onto "3.5 years"(Daniel 7.25) or even 7 years -- even though Christ
clearly said He will "shorten" the TRIB(Matthew 24.22).
Apparently, the Bible in the form of Dan.7.25 carries more weight with them than the words of Christ's own mouth !!! Putting the Bible above Christ, WOW !!
Aren't the Fundies committing that same offense as the Jews of Christ's time ??!!
PS: i need to clarify something.
