all because I said god damn
my whole body is broken
but I still have my will
our beliefs are different
and yet I love you still
but you push me away
because I don’t believe in god
i can’t work for my own way
so you guys help me out a lot
and in a fleeting moment
when I was far too slammed
yeah, I might’ve really fucked up
all because I said god damn
so now we’re not talking
you won’t answer the phone
you say that it’s alright
that you know I’m full grown
but you say you’ll leave me
if I don’t get my shit...
but I still have my will
our beliefs are different
and yet I love you still
but you push me away
because I don’t believe in god
i can’t work for my own way
so you guys help me out a lot
and in a fleeting moment
when I was far too slammed
yeah, I might’ve really fucked up
all because I said god damn
so now we’re not talking
you won’t answer the phone
you say that it’s alright
that you know I’m full grown

A Quintuple of Poets: Part V
Emily Dickinson, 415 Christian Era
Alexandria, Egypt
eschewed religion
despite horrific consequences;
crucified footsteps
along Via Dolorosa;
questioned theology;
but, wisely
outlining acceptable worship
beyond prayer beads, books
charting astrology;
welcomed all regardless
for who they were;
mathematical language
calculated fibrous anomalies
within her Neoplatonist...

Creativity
Once upon a while. . .
When there was only the Word (John 1: 1-3)
Heavens and earth began the style (Gen 1:1)
and so began creativity's birth.
In seven short days
All we observe and know to be
God created in ways.....
unknown to us,
but His creativeness we do see.
Once upon a today. . .
there were people with imagination:
sculpting, painting, writing away,
and acting with great dissertation.
In a few short thoughts
all they saw and didn't see,
they created many knots
to fill in...

Tale of an Evangelical Christianity Survivor
Don’t know why others didn’t see it -
the halo, I mean - two metres off the ground
and bobbing down a crowded high-street on its own
with no-one underneath it.
“Here’s my chance” I thought “to experience a day in the life
of a saint”.
Doing a U-turn I ran
to catch it up. Glancing nervously upwards,
I tried to stay aligned, avoiding crashing into others
and slowly began to feel its fit, like a hat.
My gait tuned in. Soon it felt
we were one
until, that is,
it/I/we crossed a bridge
with a snow-swollen river...

I AM THANKFUL YOU SAVED ME
From the deepness of my soul to the love that I feel deep within my heart oh how thankful I am to have you within my life for there has been times during my struggles, I didn't even know if I was going to make it through the storm that seems to be coming from ever direction all at once for there were times when I couldn't see the flowers nor trees due to the thunder and lightening that seems to cover my world within the depth of the darkness. But yet I still face my fears not really knowing if I will make it out alive through my trails and tribulations of the twist and turns with deep...

The Third Heaven
The Angel’s Higher Council Meeting
“Father and mother no matter what becomes of me, I love you two, and earth is not that bad, until I find a willing soul to help me earn my wings back.”
“Dear, why are you giving up? The inquiry has not begun, and we have faith in you.”
“I wish I can say the same for myself.”
‘Dear, is there something you’re not telling us?”
“Ahh yes, mother those submitted earthly scrolls.”
“Yes dear.”

steeple screamers
I have a feeling this is going to cause some offense
but please believe me, that's really not my intent
being born & bred in a God-honouring home
I learned at an early age
what it meant to walk in His image
always patiently modeled for me
it was never once shoved down my throat
my Roots were the very definition of Christian
at least, as I was given to understand it…from The Word
(which, by the way
I've read cover to cover…more than once
it’s a long read & sometimes scandalous
but well worth the time)

Golden Harvest
Behold, as thy souls lie down
heavy once across standing fields,
while hours pass, among treasures
each plucked and gathered upon harvest,
lifted, counting among the multitude
a journey of splendor shall rest,
yet to rise again, rejoicing forever.
heavy once across standing fields,
while hours pass, among treasures
each plucked and gathered upon harvest,

A Sinner's Prayer
My Lord, My God
I pray to thee
Bestow upon us forgiveness
Just thy blessings upon me
For to say that I haven't sin
I've offended thee again
Please excuse the flesh
Which causes our shame
Being of essence I bare witness
Mankind claims supremacy but needs forgiveness
Blessed is he that bows before thee
I appear to plea upon bent knees
Facing each transgression with an apology
And with bent head begging for your mercy
Not only for myself but also for my sisters and brothers
For how can I be saved without...
I pray to thee
Bestow upon us forgiveness
Just thy blessings upon me

Blessed is he that bows before thee

Facing each transgression with an apology

THE BANN-ED COUPLE
The upright young man and his future wife -
The symbols of potential new life? -
Beside me in the pew take their places
Amidst this sea of much older faces,
Come to hear reading of their marriage banns,
Light at tunnel's end of their wedding plans
And the busyness of preparation
For such an auspicious celebration.
The symbols of potential new life? -
Beside me in the pew take their places
Amidst this sea of much older faces,
Come to hear reading of their marriage banns,
Light at tunnel's end of their wedding plans
And the busyness of preparation
For such an auspicious celebration.
