Do This
in Remembrance of Me
1.
I still don't know
what took me so long
to understand why
I remember it like yesterday—
Eucharist; eschewing
processed wafers
for freshly baked bread;
I was so proud of myself—
it's golden skin perfect
When the service ended
I was presented the remains—
that leftover body of Christ
without any instructions ...

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...

How to Seek God (and Where to Find Him)
We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” Mahatma Gandhi

Through the razor
Grass, are
Holding the dissipating glow of
Morning, where eyes are...

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...

Idols of righteousness

A Stretched Limerick
The road to hell is paved with good intentions …”
that’s why ‘the good’ precipitate detentions
for worshiping the idol
makes people fratricidal --
I know it’s old but thought it worth a mention.

r e p e t i t i o n
Storms never last
unlike a slow broil of
sweat-basted skin
in Hell's Kitchen where
r e p e t i t i o n
is the original recipe
always in season
for less than charitable
acts and transgressions
against fellow man
even a frail old women
abandoned in a sketchy
nursing home - it's pantry
overrun by vermin beasts
in veritable feasts;
mother so looking forward
to your seat at the table;
her salival glands gleefully
gearing up to gorge those ...

the handmaiden's faith
on the zenith, I made special preparations
carefully harvesting my zucchini as an offering
a symbol of growth and renewal
I sang songs of praise as I climb the ziggurat
a zealot I prayed feverishly before entering the temple
my simple dress tied with zibeline as was customary of the day
the ancient rites were observed as I chanted
as my peoples before me, I believed
a great zeppelin would appear carrying me away to the heavens
I entered the temple with reverence
I took the zwieback in hand
saying prayers to the Gods ...

The God Placebo
I'll be him, you want a sign?
it's fine I do it all the time,
the rich ones get cured
the sick ones ignored.
I just need the long number, a cross your card
dont worry were dot com and prayin is hard
You'll see me when you look up in church
or look me up, just do a search,
I can spit you a sermon, drop in some rhymes
dishing out morals with my breath of red wine.
I'll piss biblical rivers to fill every font
hand me your children I'm at the front.
I've registered my trade mark 'G'
to take 10%, hell more if you believe,...

Prayer Technique With Sister Virtue
I close my lids
and clasp hands together.
I envision you in every prayer,
on waking and retiring.
I fought the beliefs
pummeled into me
before the intellectual mind
could question
the judgements placed
on just about everything.
I arrived in the temple
with a cardboard box of shards,
having no knowledge
how to put them back in place.
In the self-destruction,
you delicately led me
to your private chamber
to discuss this in further detail.
In your wisdom,
and receptive...
and clasp hands together.

An Angel's Heart In Exile Chapter V of Chapter V
Chapter V of Chapter V
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.”
“They display me in an...”
