Difficult times
Difficult times
As God took a left turn
(Sinistra, sinister)
Crashed and
Bejeeeesus !
Was crucified
For landing on some
Weird (sacred?) zone.
Hard times
Hard rules.
As God took a left turn
(Sinistra, sinister)
Crashed and
Bejeeeesus !
Was crucified
For landing on some
Weird (sacred?) zone.
Hard times

Kiln Hot
stoic, bold and
searing
like kiln hot
liquid's
heat
fires of the eons
memories
passed down
generation to generation
within like arms
—only she creates
sacred wombs
amongst
all the tombs
silences
fill
thick fought air
birthed by
strength beyond
all comprehension
of what is strong
reinforcing, certainty
finding those
scars
battle won
bleeding of
pride and quiet ...

The Magi
( After William Butler Yeats )
Traversing the sky's open arms
Seekers arrive from afar—
Lugging coffers of golden charms
Toward that yonder star
Wealthy cities hold no allure
For those with vacant hearts—
Nor treasury's worth reassure
Happiness shan't depart
Yet for promised kingdom yon
They'll don their thorny crowns—
Exchange all wealth for answers sought
On Golgotha's bloody mound
~

They'll don their thorny crowns—
Exchange all wealth for answers sought
On Golgotha's bloody mound

WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY
As you slowly begin to raise and face the world to see another day above ground, I know that you are tried of the hustle and bustle of the world, yet you still must continue to stand and walk and fight. As you slowly begin to go through the motions of life's daily grind, I know it gets hard sometimes for there's times you felt alone and afraid and abandon. As you slowly begin to spend more time dwelling within the depth of the darkness, that surrounds you creating illusions of demons and gouls, making it so impossible to find any kind of emotional peace to comfort your aching spiritual soul....

the sequel to the day the clock stopped
her eyes are fixated on
the hands of the clock
on the wall
unlike her racing thoughts
time seems to have stopped
a feeling of loneliness
runs through her veins
as she wonders if
she has crossed over
the line to insanity
gripping her rosary
she begs for God's mercy
pleads for her salvation
things move in slow motion
as she realizes
her prayer was answered
she lifts herself up
and slips out of bed
ready now to face the world
the hands of the clock
on the wall
unlike her racing thoughts
time seems to have stopped
a feeling of loneliness
runs through her veins
as she wonders if
she has crossed over
the line to insanity
gripping her rosary
she begs for God's mercy
pleads for her salvation
things move in slow motion
as she realizes
her prayer was answered
she lifts herself up
and slips out of bed
ready now to face the world

Son-Day-School
I got some knowledge
of my own I would like
to share with the youth
Some of the values
that you were being
taught is not the truth
What you got to prove?
A little influence and
a little power to show
that you have the juice
Y'all taking up time
fighting against each other
When you should be fighting
For your Sister and Mother
Genetically modified seeds
Is what this generation breeds
Real love and real education
about real history is what the
youth needs
When you speak of...

Premonition
She said she had a dream -
She was the queen of the parade
With a full view of everyone…
Her funeral procession
Was attended by everyone
Her final resting place - on top of a hill
Overlooks the town
She was the queen of the parade
With a full view of everyone…
Her funeral procession
Was attended by everyone
Her final resting place - on top of a hill
Overlooks the town

Untitled pointing to nothing
Standing alone in the surf. Again. Sky is bruised by the endless battle. Changing. Apophis retreats. Nothing. Ra’s spear triumphs. Again.
Silence reigns over all. Rushing. Waters upon waters. Hissing. I bleed. Roaring. I remember. Hushed. I forget. Retreating. Everything.
Everything is music. Raindrops fall.
Make a fist. Tensing. Muscles answer. Growing. Stand out in a circular mound upon my arm. Rising. Veins protrude. Nothing. Forks in rivers of green, beneath translucent shadows of skin. Nothing. Rising like the dawn at my wrist.
Open my...

Lost Petals
Once alive and vibrant,
the colorful flowers
exposing themselves
for everyone to see.
Beauty gathers in
unexpected places,
within the reach
of the sun, or
sheltered away.
The beauty belongs
to the world, as
God has given,
shared even if only
for a blink
in time.
Losing the petals
may make the flower
sad for awhile,
but it doesn't end there.
Once delicate, now
faded with time,
lost to the eyes
of the ones that loved
and...
the colorful flowers
exposing themselves
for everyone to see.
Beauty gathers in
unexpected places,
within the reach

The beauty belongs

but it doesn't end there.

NUDITY, THEOLOGY, FEMININITY
Did not God think it 'VERY good'
when he had made first humans nudd?
'Male and female He created',
His father heart demonstrated,
Naked and without any shame
of their divinely finished frame.
It was that pesky little snake
who got folk 'shamed of bits that shake
and would have had them cover up
the parts God made to help them 'tup'
and, in woman's case, suckle young
upon the breasts on top half hung.
To those who down the ages blame
women for man's fall, I'd cry 'Shame!
You've been barking up the wrong tree ...

wiping one's arse
I reflect
on the helping
hands of others
the paper
trees
sun & rain
unknown friends
cleaning up
my mess
nothing
I do
do I do
alone
