My Sacred Space
6-8-12

Marooned and isolated intentionally
To feel my sacred space
In my room of music
And coolness and heavenly smoke
With percolated bliss
As small was my faith this morning
When a brother asked me to come in for a cup
Marooned and secluded
For the cause of poetry in motion
Accepting these parts of the real me
Just for what they are
Going through this summer heat
To be as the cinder
That also is the star
Yet to purchase the pen
Costing ten for a dollar
In the now and then
To serve as my box car...




Phenomenology
6-8-12

in the phenomenology
Of that which is manifest
Hidden is still yet the mystery of love
At the deep end of a pool
Nostalgic in its aroma of chorine and sun screen
And thoughts of my Christine
To know all belongs to he
Whom believes in someone
With a seismic vibration
Of a ground that shakes
While still steady
In the phenomenology
Of what it is to get ready...




Loose Change At Six
6-8-12

In a want in need to control
The urge to get it done and over with
Knowing that I have the whole weekend
To make improvements on my living space
With time that will bring me the pleasure of fulfillment
In that I got my cookies for this night
So I went ahead to get a good head start
Where I put my faith in my One Great Thou Art
And indeed I am with satisfaction
Of accomplishment....




On Matthew 10:32
6-8-12

The Lord's table is the reminder
Of the death, burial and resurrection
Those that confess him before men
He will confess to the father in heaven
Not to be thought of as a place to try to get to
But a state of being within you here now and today
As so tonight I am redeemed
To be as a vessel of pleasure
With more esteem in regarding other artists
That walk my way in new shoes...




Good Work
6-8-12

Worry is quite useless
In that such won't better your chances
Of tomorrow's success
Already attained in the faith one does exercise
To get it done
Taking pleasure to perform it
As unto the Lord
This is the secret to all work that lies ahead
With agendas for the weekend
To rearrange and flow with the breeze of change
To see that this joy is not so strange...




Real Wealth In Love
6-8-12

Real wealth today is in contentment
As riches make themselves wings to fly away
Like eagles toward heaven
As we ought not try
By the reason of more and more gain
Standing back after doing the work
Of poets that collect inspiration from work experience
Setting myself aside
To wish them well
In the love tonight at hand
Praying that in all things
I will better understand...




Ditch
6-8-12

The strange woman is a deep ditch
Where I tend to enjoy digging
With a rusty spade of iron that sharpens brass brows
Of resistance to the authority of the status quo
As so I find that in all of this
It is good to know to put into practice
The words I incline an ear to
In order to be counted among the just
In word and deed
Given all tonight that I want and need
Ready and willing to disperse forth my seed...
