Walk With Me
You asked me if I'm God
Then enter the gates and cross the yard
You have just entered Grace
And crossed Evil's face
Then walk in to the halls
See that mirror on the wall
Peer at the image
See an eternity of love, hate, joy, and rage
Things that could've been saved
My gift to you, to you I gave
Which you ravished, burned, and even enslaved
To call it Earth is being brave
But there was more to Earth
Things of bliss, things of worth
I gave you to each other
To co-exist as sisters and...

Eat the Bagel
It was a fulfilling
and tiring morning
I had just left
the local gym
This poem is almost
pointless to read
But stick around and
maybe you'll understand
So I fell fast asleep
and visions arrived
A man in robes
looking so serious
"Please get up now,"
He says calmly
And looking up quickly
I see something
In his left hand
A single bagel
"Go eat one now,"
he says plainly
"Okay," I mumble quietly ...

Sunday
We praise you, O God,
our redeemer, creator…”
Almost time to get tidied up
presentable
for the parade of washed and scrubbed souls
lined up in our chairs in the chemo ward
waiting for that weekly infusion of faith
“Not what my hands have done
can save my guilty soul…”
I do want to look like I have my shit together,
at least enough for basic hygiene
forget that an hour before, I was stinking and greasy.
I’ll stand up there and sing
and they’ll imagine me “mature in faith”, ...

He Is Exalted (Joseph)
How in the world this.. this lying.. God please forgive me, but she is pregnant and talking about she does not know how
Nine months and I am gonna see her on Maury Povich show talking about I’m gonna be a father now
I know I had too many drinks and my conscious was all up in flight
On the ballroom dance floor, I remember holding her curvy body real tight
And she was smelling good, stunning looking, kinda fly, and she was my Nubian Queen, hell, we that owned that night
Got my friends laughing at me that my wife was creeping around
And I...

Obsidian Rabbi
Moses, Prophet of lullaby
my obsidian Rabbi
on soft winds of the Torah
stone cold butterfly
of indigo dusky wings
and stained glass pinions
fluttering with Monarch smile
at peace on a petal's cradle
on soft winds of the Torah

New Revelation
An Angel descended to the earth
And blew his trumpet
And he called to judgment all the living
And all those who lay in the tomb
But it was already to late
And every sinner was fast asleep
And the trumpet voice was in vain
And only one rose up
Over a world that has fallen asleep
He rises in the shadow, an ominous
evil raised from the pits of hell
A formidable idol with an animal grin
The new Revelation
His empty eye sockets are watching
behind our dreams
...

fool's gold
I saw a rainbow
two days in a row
I thought that it
might have been
symbolic
a small sigh of
redemption
or proof of something
mystic, bigger
but it isn't
...but it's nice to
think that,
though

Your body is my religion at your Sacred place I've come to pray, I kneel before your alter, bringing offerings today
My stanzas are my offerings, I hope you see their blessed, trying to say how you make me feel or at least know I've done my best
Each word crafted by my heart, carefully laid out in a line, prayers to you my Goddess, written out in rhyme
Testaments of devotion, sent out into the great unknown, promises of my feelings, carved out of my heart that once was stone
Now it beats once more, you've brought it back...

Resurrection in Dreamscape
I dreamed of mother
last night returning from the dead
bearing a cryptic message
just for me
wrapped in a skein
of eternity
when I awoke
I knew that dreams
were wormholes to the other side
translucent as a memory
lightly scrubbed by tragedy
the dead appearing
in dramatic roles
and yet more real
than any...

Wise Words From The Wild
Wise Words From The Wild
Free your will, and let your feel guide you to where
you initially belong, Dust and Water and the Spirit between,
Where man is homo sapiens born, where wise thoughts, feelings
and genuine creation takes its heavenly roots.
Be wise and relieve a clogged brain besieged by mundane
satisfaction, by bewildering intoxication, by echoless walls.
Be wise and rub those emotionless eyes, and start to see,
and come up to hear the waltz of the winds and songs of Springs
the tango of...

Kosher Safari
my aunt's 80th birthday
was of course a special occasion
an extra special celebration was warranted
not just another luxury cruise
or Ritz Carlton stay in an international capital
no, something more adventurous
something...rugged even!
my cousin and her rich husband
both reform Jews who went orthodox once married
had the perfect solution:
a kosher safari
when Aunt D first says
kosher safari
my brain sparks and sputters
kosher
safari
what the...?
