Leviathan Revisited
2-15-15


He's the interrogator
I'm his alligator
To be a lover and no longer a hater
Under the tutelage today of the creator
The analyzer, the mental masturbator
I never understood such a council
So I was left to my own devices
As one to follow God according to the Word
Three seasons pass overhead
In a matter of five minutes
I wanted to take back all that I said out of turn
Being the Leviathan
I swim downstream
Where I only lived out half of my dream...


















Ordering Up A Decaf
2-15-15


Throwing my amethysts to the hogs
Making my grocery lists and typing my blogs
In magnificent perception
Not flawless but as complete
I lit up a cigarette and only wanted two drags
It was too cold to stand out there
So I returned to my table and ordered up another mocha
I'm a backslider today but at least I'm here
In peace that casts out all throwing of carbuncles to the pigs
I spend my substance like it's nothing at all
But God is my Provider....






















Blackberry
2-15-15


Ordering up a blackberry decaf
As one to never cry or even laugh
Halelujiah, I didn't see my better half
Don't want the attachment to drag me down
But I'm missing out
Flipping back to Isaiah
To find the words to write
By my river Euphrates
By the brook of Egypt so I dwell
Yet in doubt but at least I'm here
To read what it's all about
We will be gathered one by one
And as well vindicated
By God and his Son...


















Callous Revisited
2-15-15


The fading flower is the head of the verdant valley
Developing a callous on my right middle finger
So I can but share what I had to say
On another extremely cold day
My only agenda is to pull through
For those that overcome with wine such as I
In my days of excess
Trampled underfoot
But I rock on and celebrate my wagon I ride
Almost noon
Halelijiah I made it
Safe and sound again
With my tablet and pen....












Refreshing
2-15-15


No place is clean
Do you know what I mean!
As I am AWOL today from the church scene
All tables are full of vomit
On a day when I was afraid of hues of green
I had also erred through wine out of the Way
But here I am again
Sober for almost five years
Praise God
Facing up to photographs of the family
I had no desire to be with in fading smiles
That's just the way I felt
As snow is soon to melt
No place is clean...










On Isaiah 28:16
2-15-15


Beginning again spiritual warfare
The devil is at it again with his lies
You will do just fine
Almost five years now without the wine
Plowing through the book of Isaiah
Finding words to write divine
Wherever believers will not act hastily
I fight it off and stay afloat
Putting my Aiwa to work
Seven more hours to bide
I've got nothing here to hide
O, why did I not see God
O, because it was overwhelming
But I still persist to seek him...








Plummet
2-15-15


By righteousness the plummet
I confront these past tense glad snapshots
Of those in my past
And outside the wind blows on
And I hope that the power on will last
When will he make to understand the message
He whom is willing the hear and see
I have over the years obtained much
For the whole symptom of family maintenance
Knocks on someone's door
But it doesn't have anything to do with me
Give ear and hear his voice
God is in control...
