My female scale insect
Secretes her deposit
To make its mark on the fields
Of weal and woe
In that I wonder why God has created her
In the image of that which only seems futile
By such a resinous deposit secreted
Where the pain is assuaged
In that it is mollified and treated
Given the courage
To change all the things that I can....








On Deuteronomy 21:9 (check this out)
10-15-13


Putting away the guilt of innocent blood
Making due today with the remnants
Of my yesterday's inundations and flood
Washing my hands over the heifer
Upon which comes no yoke
Content to see that all wages go up in smoke
In a newfangled rhyme scheme
By the pleasure of my deep toke
Where he hedges me about
To make my chain heavy
And when I cry and shout sometime
He did not shut out my prayer....










We Can Make It
10-15-13


We are not to forget
The heights from which we have fallen
To know we can make it one more time
Acknowledging all we've been through
But O, just who is we
But another form of the real me
Glad to have made my way out here
Where indeed my love will cast out all fear
With a peace that transcends all understanding...










On I Kings 1:2
10-15-13


O, let her lie in my bosom
In the darkness yet dissipated
By this available light
In that today I am going somewhere
Of stream of consciousness
For which I make my earnest request
Until the fall of night
O, may she dwell in my heart
Seemingly quite empty
In such a state that drives me back to this ambition
Where I find that I have three wishes
Yet taking heed in what I ask
Knowing the consequence
O, may she abide in my presence
Achieved when we are yet to delve deep...










Today's Topic
10-15-13


Seeking my damsel fair
Named my Abishag the Shummanite
To be as my newfangled topic
Upon which today I write
Yet to get my heat
With my tares that grow with my wheat
Hoping that God doth reserve me a seat
In the setback of receiving my petition
In asking for victory
I get for me a battle
Instructed to take my time
In taking a look around...










Petition
10-15-13


Ask with faith unwavering
And you will get what you request
Back here in this retreat
To know the benefit of the side of town
To my west
With valerian and Echinacea
On my mind to soothe distress
And peel off again the rind
Where he that exalts himself will be abased
And he whom humbles himself will be exalted
Ask with faith unwavering
And you will receive your petition...










Law
10-15-13


The law reinstated
Is tedious and heavy
where a brother says that it is scary
Because it is a lot to take on
And now I can say to see it this way
In that the law reinstated is not kept
Lying in the bed I made
Where I have peacefully slept
Sitting at my table
To with myself wage war
Reading Scripture to write here rhymes
Always left wanting more
Where the law reinstated is worth repeating...
