Commemoration 6-12-14 O, Jehovah in your strength The king rejoices In being given sweeter opportunities Of these choices you have granted him the desire of his heart By encouraging voices And you have not witnessed the request of his lips Selah As today I quote the psalms As my commemoration to these day trips Your hand will find out all your enemies And your friend will partake in mint chocolate chip triple dips For you will make them to retreat By which the spirit yet equips By aiming your bow straight at them As arrows determine one's hips..... Cleat 6-13-14 Looking back on my Halloween vigil of the year of five Today is my lucky day to be awake and alive As the number needs not be ominous To yet flourish and thrive The sweeter the sin, the better the taste in my mouth Soon I take my nose dive Serving my Ashteroth and Baal Hitting with my hammer the rusty nail She is raging Yet the love of God doth not fail By one's cleated walk of such a clearwing Again I set sail I don't know where to go from here But I am thankful even in the belly of the whale..... On Judges 2:17 6-13-14 My lucky dollar sits on my shelf Next to my book of poetry of William Blake As in the grass so doth flourish my snake They would not hearken to these judges That make their terrible mistake A limb is lost As a chain is undone And I am wide awake Going awhoring after other gods For one's own sake It repented the Lord because of such groaning In that they were greatly distressed As God is with our judge today In that there is no one that needs to be impressed I dreamed I saw a desert rose Of which by my tongue I confessed.... Inveigh 6-13-14 Haleluliah, six more archives Hosanna, I have my work cut out for me Till I lose my mind again Better today than tomorrow In the business of another blue and humble pen They would not hearken unto the judges Knowing not what comes first The egg or the hen Angel or devil I was thirsty in the lion's den My desire so doth motivate my diligence Yeah, they were greatly distressed But not according to where or when Yet to inveigh Yeah, yet to rail And on deep seas yet set sail.... Oratorio 6-13-14 By reason of them That oppressed and vexed them Our groanings repented our Lord So that we might text them O, how dare I say such things worldly as such Because I wanted to get back in touch Speaking pompously and voluble Where it doesn't really matter that much As long as I can make my way into the night And not pay extra care upon cane or crutch To behold again my oratorio And yet discern the riff To enjoy it for what it is And not to try to analyze it The sun makes its way back out onto the scene So that I might tell my shadows And accept it for what it is.....

like a key

Like A Key To Pick The Lock 6-10-14 O, supply him liberally from the winepress Threshing floor and flock O, send him away not empty In leaning today upon the rock This is book thirteen, my friend Like a key to pick the lock The ship isn't coming and I cannot pretend But we will all know each other well in the end Yet remember that you were once a slave in Egypt And that there is nothing to defend I can feel what you feel It just makes you stronger You can make me smile in the end Yes, you can..... * in this poem I quoted Rush On Romans 7:15 6-10-14 The law is spiritual But I am carnal sold under sin As so I repeat the new mantra If I snooze then I win No better than knocking down a bowling pin As that which I do I allow not And that what I do I do not And what I hate, that I do So that I might reach out to you The law is spiritual but I am carnal Yet sold under sin This is true in me today I snooze and I win No better than a bowling pin And these verses are likened To a mathematical equation Like a science to yet purge away my tin.... No Thorn, No Throne 6-11-14 Today I by my conscious choice Yet relish in the riff On the edge of my precipice And the brink of my cliff In that there is no throne without a thorn And no glory without gore And no crown without a cross Suffering no damage and no loss And I will begin again today While by my conscious choice I enjoy the music It takes a second to say hello As any circumstance out of my control Are in the will of God To come in love or with a rod To play your lucky numbers even and odd All is quiet save the music through my headphones Nothing changes I will be with you again.... It's Not Me 6-11-14 If I make it through It will not be me But God in me that wills As trials are permitted of God, Father filtered In where all is well as it is in one's ills Wherein I make peace with a nemesis Dying to understand such a stigma Getting my day started with refills If I make it through it is not of me But by his grace I will survive And on such sustenance I yet will flourish and thrive.... Crown 6-11-14 I am given a crown of life In that I endure Nothing to lose and nothing to gain But waxing more mature As change does a work on me from the inside out I am given a crown of this rejoicing Even in times of doubt A new heart is what I need I can make it bleed O, is there nothing left In my want and need Soon it will be time to sauté my mushrooms And when I am tried again I will receive the crown of life.... Jason's Day (Tomorrow Is My Lucky One) 6-12-14 Tomorrow is my lucky day According to the calendar date To learn how to love and trust and forget how to doubt and hate Jesus, thank you for today and for tonight Now O give me the wherewithal and the will of the know how By the invisible things clearly seen Being understood by the things that are made Even his eternal power where we have it made Here in the shade God gives through us and not just to us As so the debt is paid.... Pour It In 6-12-14 As one's voluntary surrender The truth sets us free According to the one advocate and defender By the path of the pilgrim and pretender God is there because he is in us By the topic entitled, "I share my life" In that we are his representatives To but represent He that is in control of it all In that I am not my own Any more than you are yours We were bought with a price Yes, even the gamblers and whores By one's voluntary surrender We make peace even in such encompassing wars I give my life as a living sacrifice As by such sweetness the coffee yet pours.... Get Up And Go 6-12-14 Let's hold out for something sweeter Dreaming of the coming of another winter In which we take up the pace heater O, can one be both high and low O, can one be both ignorant And as well be one to know O, can one travel fast and nimble As well as taking it slow I will quote the psalms today Referring to my sermon notes Taken on a day by which to but grow Don't wait for the seas to part Or for the Messiah to come Now is the day of salvation As God says get up and go Get up and go....... Today I will Quote The Psalms 6-12-14 Today I will quote the psalms And acquire ink spots on my palms As to be seen I do not my alms But in secret where the Father sees openly Quelling qualms today It is my request to know of his peace, love and joy Yet to build again what we did once and twice and thrice destroy Swimming out there in this love May the name of the God of Jacob protect you May Jehovah lead, guide and direct you May he send you help from the holy place As living gets in the way of being organized But we get it in order just the same And we get it together Today I will quote the psalms As if it were a report of the weather....

OCA

Oca 5-16-14 According to the oca and its wood sorrel I take up a newfangled valve and moral By its edible tubers and fleshly underground stems In search for costly pearls and polished stones Like precious gems cultivated again in South America According to seams and hems I don't know where to go with this So I just ramble on Glad in my rejoicing To have been up since the light of dawn Because of the king's commandment I will be soon long gone.... Nepenthe 5-16-14 O, why do I even bother Turning over a lucky cigarette Given today's topic of my messiah complex To state just what it is to me before I forget Boast not of tomorrow Seeing four men in the midst of the furnace That have no hurt Not even upon their shoes or shirt O, why do I even bother In trying to get it right O, who do I look like The cigarette Jesus In his liberality And lavish ways of generosity To serve as today my penance Seeking my nepenthe Of candles burning yesterday.... Sere 5-16-14 Dry, withered and sere So is all of such pain and fear Wherein I keep the good word nigh and near As faith doth come by all that I can hear Leaning on the pedestal By its ecological succession Yet to sparkle and scintillate and twinkle By the Holy Bible on the nightstand next to me As upon my face so grows a new wrinkle Wisdom is the byproduct of one's age Emitting sparks according to the prophet and the sage.... Another Fast 5-16-14 I'm pretending that it's the middle of the night To fulfill the prophesy of my previous lifestyle Preferred over what is now and today I'm glad that the sun does not shine too bright As so I continue to fast and pray Yet to know a new word for love That doth serve as my pay Yet to get out before I drown Without a need to ever step through my front door Beating my swords into plowshares In that I could learn of war no more I ate no pleasant food today And drank no wine.... Cirque 5-16-14 And on the wing of abominations Shall be one whom makes desolate our city That it is set upon a hill that cannot be hidden By mountain, by basin and by cirque I feed myself the message of all good work As the end of it shall be a flood Till the end of the war Our desolations are determined by the shed blood In the third year of the reign of Cyrus I still chew the cud By this prophesy of seventy weeks O, who can hold out that long Being still as one whom seeks.... Petition Granted 5-16-14 Two days in a row I received my petition to wake at five Only to drift on back into my sweet dream And sleep till six and rise to the occasion And get my caffeine fix She hides out wherever we meet As I daydream about my Philadelphia Street She's down on her knees with no pleasant food to yet eat I'm just another writer As come Sunday I hope to hear it taught By such a spirit once and twice again This is my latest entry from this humble pen Down on my knees For the next pages Threescore and ten....

miracle

Expect A Miracle 5-16-14 Expecting the next ten miracles And the next twenty-five rhymes I can see now the changes In that I will know of better times Forget me not I will follow you till your dying day We have sinned and done wickedly In all that there is yet to say I will be your keeper As you possess the key Departing from all precepts and judgments In finding again the real me You can feel me there In all there is to see.... Four Years Sobriety 5-16-14 By my short little span of attention I attempt to skim chapter nine In one's expecting of suspension Almost four years now without the sweet wine I'm feeling better now that all has been spoken Like a law to be bent And an ordinance to be broken In the third year of the reign of Cyrus, king of Persia The throne is a manifest token Yet to understand these given visions As if they were one's own So in taking up the pen today I am certain that I am not alone By my short little span of attention I am not one to cast the first stone..... Priming 5-16-14 By the priming of my firelock I will roll over And find an earthworm beneath the rock Going in dreams to my Agulhas Cape Where I get it all in writing and on tape Knowing not how to express this restlessness By the drawing of another drape By the gleaning of another grape The fermentation is in perfect shape By the first layer of paint and its priming By the powder that doth ignite such a charge I will rock on.... I say Hello To Kings 5-16-14 According to Ahab the husband of Jezebel I seek beyond what I can see Of matters of heaven and hell Turning back to the book of First Kings To be one to come out of my shell Consulting Ahasuerus The husband of Esther As so such thirst I yet mollify and quell Yet to try another fantasy In the breaking of the spell As in his rage he heats up the furnace You never know what you're going to get... O, Jesus, I Whisper 5-16-14 By one's surplice and cassock I slip into it by the sound of my alternative rock Base in its consistency According to hers and flock Where on the streets of this town There is no surrender In that they have a number for every name As today I will rock on and yet play the game By this designation and its closure I whisper again the power in the name Step outside of yourself to see the changes Slipping into loose fitting white vestments It is as a fashion yet to tame.... Surcease 5-16-14 By one's surcease of sorrow By mien of lord and lady We have hopes in a brighter tomorrow We seek a shelter cool and shady Killing time and dreaming yet to cease and desist From reality any way we know how As so a mentor passed on well advises For me to stay in the now By bearing and demeanor I extract milk from another milch cow I'm going to turn you around Quoting the Raven once again To be as manna for such a humble pen.... Oleander 5-16-14 Of oleander and its dogbane It doesn't need to be quite as insane I hang on your every word In emotions quite hard to contain If you still believe in me and you If it be so God and if it be his will I will take away the pain So today I will rock on to the oleander And its poison that serves as its own remedy Wherein I scribble these lyrics by chance alone He will deliver us out of thine hand, o king So be not the one Whom hopes to cast the first stone..... Of Fleshly Imagination 5-16-14 As of now I hallucinate the smell of nostalgic cinnamon toast Not of works lest any man should boast Justified by the law of faith On my Mediteranian coast At the chime of nine I rock on According to the parasite and her host And it's raining icepicks on your steel shore Bound in hosen, coats and hats Dreaming still of more house cats Cast into the midst of the fiery furnace Heated seven times more than it is wont Saying not words such as can't or don't I'm down on my knees today Where nothing can separate us from his love..... Fuzz 5-16-14 According to our hosen and breeches It is the trial that yet instructs and teaches By the rind of the oranges and the fuzz of peaches It's a dark day so I turn on a light And plow my way through the day into the night Sheltered in my verandah For sore eyes such is a sweet sight O, what's in this for me In that I hope to get it right Putting on my morion As the henchman squire and page As a trusted attendant and a follower I come down today with writers rage.... On Daniel 9:19 5-16-14 O, Lord hear O, Lord forgive In that I want to die Yet I want to live It's the coming of the Lord by one's sieve Mixing up the medicine In one's colander of compassion Given a second helping of another more than generous ration O, Lord listen and O, Lord act Until we get it down and become intact For your people and your city are called by your name O, Lord allow me to keep playing the game Being caused to yet fly swiftly In a testimony More than what is more of the same.... Restoration 5-16-14 Turning off my television As well as my other three lamps Of memories of inexpensive vacations To those summer camps I had treaded water for a half an hour With not need of postage stamps Just so I can scribble here these words For my courtesans and tramps Yet to restore and build again Jerusalem Along with highway bridges and concrete ramps Turning over another archive So that I get my taste today of grunge As so according to habit I will be today as the sponge....

bidden

Bidden 5-16-14 That which is vile today is highly esteemed By heavy metal fans whom closed their eyes and dreamed As we made a great feast and gave good gifts Yet bidden to the east Putting in his night shifts Turning over the cassette again To catch sweet riffs Where the virgins gather together To talk about the weather Yeah, we'll never have to die heavy like the boulder And light like the feather That which is vile today is highly esteemed Even while at the end of my tether.... My Treat 5-16-14 Today I'm in love with that old school sound Tossing my bone to my eager basset hound Dancing with danger we ride into the dawn I pour another cup and stifle off a yawn On my knees again playing with fire In lust I will burn Of the lineage of the Medes Met so are all of such wants and needs Understood by books That yet scatter seeds Today I thrash to and fro To that hypnotic beat To accomplish seventy years of that desolation Made inhabitable In that all here and now is justified..... Just Hanging 5-16-14 Where the plot becomes known We are hanged upon the tree Where we don't stand alone Where the truth doth set us free As it is written in the book of Chronicles Seemingly directly unto me Making our release to all provinces According to what the bible scholar can see Lighting another smoke for the cause of what is yet to be I want to love you around the clock And live today as if it were my last.....

bookmark

Bookmark At Chapter Nine 5-15-14 By the prophesy of seventy weeks Such is what the bible scholar seeks In that it smells good here when it reeks Astonished by the vision That no one understood As that which tasted bad was quite good In the first year of King Darius in the neighborhood According to the lineage of the Medes We see to these strangers' wants and needs Placing my bookmark again at chapter nine In no need to ask why nor require a sign As we have done iniquity and rebelled As so from our mouths is cut off The latter wine.... ...To Be Continued... 5-15-14 I had an urge to set it all aside And to observe the stop sign To yet swallow my pride But I found it in me to but continue And agree to go along for the ride O, I just want to get at the truth Knowing to have God right at my side Inspired by what is already written By which my elder cat still thinks she is a kitten Using my other book for a pillow As so I by the here and now am yet to be smitten Writing rhymes tonight in excess And by the rattlesnake again I am bitten.... In The Year Of '04 (Ten Years Have Got Behind Me) 5-15-14 Turning thirty-one in the year of '04 I begin another conglomeration Of peace within the war And there was not a dry eye in the house Where I was left only wanting more Hearing the sound of a heart breaking Finding it in me to sing out my heart Where much love is in store Turning the page to fade to black and blue It is my own special way Of reaching out to you Pouring my heart out to Jesus In that tonight all things are new.... Muster Roll (Roll Call) 5-15-14 Setting my mental alarm clock For five in the morning I will be here if the good Lord is willing By time resurrection in that such I will be killing Dying to live like coffee yet to be spilling Feeling an urge to let it all go And get on with the night But as one with a want and need To continue to yet write By my muster roll of counted sheep In that I go dark and delve deep In the abundance of seeking out yet more Walking every day Before the court of such a harem To greet again my adulteress and whore.... A Meat, High In Fiber 5-15-14 Wondering if there is a world out there Where albums come not in the form of words Of song titles or sides of programs Installed to make it what it is O, so hard to express Such an idea in words So I let it up to fate And roll with it In the month of Tebeth High on crystal meth Coming in the form of life and death Wondering is there a world out there In no need for words to speak By the fiber of a slender filament By one's essential character and strength To determine the height, the breadth and the length Just wondering Do we really need the words to say To make it real... Hallucination 5-16-14 Today I hallucinate a nostalgic perfume Back to face the music by such olfactory sensation O, it's the bloody fix you yet taste And it's my cross to bear That will not go to waste As Ahasuerus loved Esther above all women It's the bloody fix you do As so I rock on In hopes to reach out to you Taking a deep toke As to myself I will be true By the textbook madhouse of erudition Today I yet imagine something sweeter.....

Ulai

By The River Ulai 5-15-14 In Shushan in the citadel I have many new stories yet to tell In my next book more brief than the last Where I have again my sunshine On a day bleak and overcast In the province of Elam I triumph over death and hell I saw a vision by the river Ulai In no further need to ask why Seeing the ram and his two horns Making friends with gargoyles and unicorns I let my butterfly escape from me today To see if one day she would come back to me Seeing such a ram press westward As well as the goat that would confront him According to this vision written down in heaven..... Greeting 5-15-14 A book like this only takes four or five days to complete In that my chocolate was all today I had to eat Taking my caffeine in excess In that it's Jesus' treat In my gluttony of God's word today I take my seat at a table Where we join them of a crowd we cannot beat Coming out of Syria to profane the temple According to whole wheat As the fourth empire would be divided Drinking this milk to wash down strong meat Juggling today these agendas So that at the front door Another brother I might greet..... My Joy In Sorrow 5-15-14 O, my God I believe O, help my unbelief And give not a foothold to the robber and the thief In singing my heart out by the joy of this grief O, Lord my God I can see That which is of you that dwelleth in what is me Redeemed again in the blood that sets us free O, Lord my Jesus I no longer doubt All that of which such is all about If I'm crazy I'm just crazy about you As Jacob's thigh is out of joint And to myself I will be true...

infirmity, embraced

Infirmity 4-16-14 The theme here and now Is the law restated Happy to be today by the world hated In that soon it will be time To surrender and to yield Standing on the corner of Market and Garfield If indeed there is such a place yet to go I rejoice in mine infirmity Under God's grace Where Jesus answers, yeah, I will By the farther side of Jordan He taught them much I wait for my optimum view To once more face west I rejoice in my infirmity In that I am put to the test....

Pillar Of Salt (Lo, We Have Followed You) 4-16-14 Why call me good There is no one good but God I have high hopes to understand this precept And to claim my seat upon an east table Plowing on into chapter ten So that I might take up tablet and pen To practice my passion of my profession I rejoice in mine infirmity It is easier for a camel To go through the eye of a needle Than a rich man to enter the kingdom Turning back to become a pillar of salt As he that humbles oneself Yeah, God doth exalt Reading these verses backwards In skimming the river That rages north Lo, we have left all And have followed thee..... Believe And Receive 4-16-14 Yet to believe that I will receive And therefore be given my petition Forgive if ye have aught against any Accept with importunity and repetition What would ye that I should do for you By faith I begin again Where I left off last year Go thy way Thy faith hath made you whole Be of good comfort It shall be given unto thee For whom it is prepared And from this point on I write what is on my heart To but engrave by way of an old and new writing In a new tablet Fair enough, so let it be I am what I am In his majesty....

Forgiveness, The Key 4-16-14 Yet in my Edrei and Ashteroth I find my way in the steam of minestrone broth Spelling out my latest rhymes to express how I am wroth Killing Sihon and Og For the cause of fulfillment Where forgiveness is the key to one's healing Not according to what one might be feeling On this side of Jordan These merchants are yet dealing In the land of Moab Where I stare at my ceiling You have dwelt in this mountain long enough Turn ye northward And your legs will receive strength To go on foot Forgiveness is the key to every door.... On Deuteronomy 1:8 4-16-14 To Jacob, to Israel and to Abraham This land has been promised Go and claim it And join me to an Easter ham Halleluliah, I can smell it Under the shades of trees Of which even a child can spell it Firs, oaks and elms Oars, rudders and helms Making our way back upstream Last night I had another disturbing dream Getting back up into my Mount Seir Being one to go there and face my giants And face my fear A mean idea to call my own For those that have ears Let them hear....

whitewash

Whitewash 5-24-14 By my untempered mortar of that which is known As my whitewash, O son of man These have set for themselves up such idols And put them before those whom are inclined to stumble By Noah, Daniel and Job And words to yet whisper and mumble Where one is one and two is as five Hoping to prove to myself to be alive By my untempered mortar yet plastered I owe it all today to such a master As its foundation is to be uncovered By the miracle found in such a disaster.... *May 24th is Bob Dylan's birthday.....

Confrontation 5-24-14 I confront my dark past I make another Sabbath last Broken by the pen in its contrast Flying my own flag half mast It is a crisis of the mind By the banana peel and orange rind Which so many other dinosaur fossils I am yet to find In a prayer to be affected Because we are here Making an impact On these that walked the same way Yet to be well rounded In thoughts to say Yeah I confront this part of my life Because I indeed am what I am... Time For A Bath 5-24-14 It is up to us to make ourselves available And as well accountable To that which is said to be our part Yet to be unshod In that the ground you stand on is holy And indeed thou art As manna is my request for today More than what can be thrown in a shopping cart And today I must say I reek But Jesus loves me Even if I might have left my first love To seek within, beyond And yet above.... Repentance (The Gift) 5-24-14 Repentance is a gift We do so because we get to By another euphonious and cacophonous riff Such is an opportunity To express one's gratitude As wind rolls by in the lowlight Born with my stigmatism I find my way from wrong In my dull sight To remember the death, burial And resurrection And to love Him With all of my heart, will and might Repentance is a gift But not a requirement No longer afraid of standing upon my dizzy height O, no other fount do I know Nothing but the blood of Jesus Today do I yet write.... Shave 5-24-14 By the theme of God's providential care I get a clean change of socks and underwear By the topic of his majesty I shave again the locks of my hair By these events Of when Jews were captives of Persia And the significance even in such a vacant stare As the name Esther so means one's star Where I still love her from afar By this generosity at hand In serving drinks in gold vessels such wine Requiring not a sign Yet to do what is divine By the theme of God's providential care Our kingdom in Shushan the citadel is there....
