Going Purple
6-1-15


Going full circle again
For my purple people eater
I might be stood corrected
On what this can mean to me
Goliath nine feet and one span
As for me walking down easy street
The best way that I can
But to stay in from the heat
To carry out my plan
Going full circle again in book sixteen
Reading Philemon
In another dream of befriending my demon
Facing up to it just to get through it
Purple is her favorite hue
And I am glad to have met up with you
Share your secret
All will talk
Going purple...








Mahanaim
6-1-15


How beautiful are my feet
In sandals as hers
Where I get in touch with my critics and scandals
Your head crowned
Like Mount Carmel for my Mahanaim
Of these two camps to send post cards
With no needs of stamps
Also known as the Park
The mountain where Elijah confronted those of Baal
And as well for my Damascus
A city in Syria
Going commercial
Canticle thirteen
The past is recalled
When Baal Hamon is revisited
How beautiful are your feet
That bring glad tidings
She comes to find it there...








Stop Here For Awhile
6-1-15


In affectionate anticipation
I respond to another invitation
The vices to burn out on the edge of the smoke
It gives her hope
God will provide a place for us to gather again
But in the meantime I confront my purple
By way of this black pen
Scarlet, crimson, lavender
Call it what you will and show discernment
Many waters cannot quench the love that already has come to pass
She has the fire from palm to palm
In most religions such a love is the most important thing
Stop here for awhile and watch and pray
In affectionate anticipation
She's always dancing...










Purple Palpate
6-1-15


Skies grow dark after a two hour reverie
I see the lightning flash for instant inner peace
See the day jay jam out in me
Pining and lovelorn wining and dining
For wheat and corn
I let it all pass over
To look for Charles Darwin
Seeking guidance from within
For amber waves of purple
Animals are said to have no need of redemption
Where the purple rolls on
And the day goes dark at two
Praying for wisdom and ambition and determination
To succeed and to palpate by touch....










Purple Robe
6-1-15


Solidarity of unity or agreement of action or feeling
Among these of common interest
I just want to thank you Jesus for wearing that purple robe
I put my life today in your hands
As purity produces power
And the prudent understands
Praying for wisdom
I stay humble today
And put my trust that the power stays on
God bless the ground that is rained upon in gentleness
In pulling punches and free lunches
My gentile giant speaks
For his robe of purple...










Be Ye Separate
6-1-15


Day nine hundred in February of twenty-thirteen
Bury me out on the prairie
Where I find just what my purple can mean
Starting out again in the minor prophets
I have more plans than I have time for
With Hosea and Gomer
Known as a strange couple
And my past tense ashtray
Seven inches in diameter
As part of me is a nonsmoker already
O, be ye separate
I am shown the courage
That I don't yet understand
For purple
Look for the formula
To determine the circumference...
