northward

Northward
1-6-14


From me the Word so is sounded forth
Where all ambition like an eagle spreads her wings to fly north
Making the most of morning moments
Getting ready to weather the approaching storm
By the negativity of negotiations of the norm
Grace to you and peace from the Father
By my dreams of my return to the collage dorm
So O from me the word so is voiced by all grace and glory
By which the poet hath rejoiced...
















On Ephesians 1:3 (look this up)
1-6-14


As a believer standing in the grace
Having come a long way today
I'm in a better place
Soon to go to the ends of the earth
And taste the coffee of constant change
By my cotton and lace
And blessed be the Father
Who has blessed us with spiritual blessings
In heavenly places
Putting one foot in front of the other
Ambling seventeen more paces
As a believer I walk the walk
Praying that this is not in vain
And that my words are not just talk
As a believer chosen before the foundation of the world
Approaching the blackboard with ready chalk...










Back In Business
1-6-14


Predestined to adoption
Where ignorance is no longer an option
Wondering where these words will end up
Hoping that all of this has been for something
Reaching for the dial inside my winter coat pocket
Back in the business of testimony
Just as he chose us to speak out about the mystery
Of lucid dreams of packing my books in haste
To report to the next class of world history
Predestined to adoption as sons
According to his good pleasure....










Yet Another Order
1-6-14


Forgiver according to these riches
Where the blind doth lead the blind into muddy ditches
Seemingly stuck in the mire
By the music that travels through my wire
By the dispensation of fullness preaching to the choir
Gathered together in One all things
Placing another order of gold rush barbeque chicken wings
In Him by which we have obtained the inheritance
Being predestined according to this purpose...










Propensity
1-6-14


By propensity, by propinquity, by partiality, by proximity
We as being human still pick favorites
Looking down on those that walk on dressed in rags
This is our nature to yet judge by the outward appearances
This is our folly by what is cheerful and as well the melancholy
We ask O, why does God allow it
In our world of scruples and its flaws
Believing in Jesus requiring faith like a child
That will acknowledge a Santa Clause
O why doest thou cry out!













Endeavor

Endeavor
2-26-14


Yet to design my brazen grate
To learn how to love and forget how to hate
By my request of God to meet my better half
Where my prayer is answered
In ways other than what is expected
Where no man will desire my land
Given freely from another diligent and open hand
Meeting my angel along the narrow way
To glory moreover I will endeavor
That you might see it too...








Preference For The Dark
2-26-14


Unto a light that shines in a dark place
I have a preference to this darkness
Because in such I cannot see all that is wrong
In my abode turning off all of the lights
To try to yet retire and get some rest
So that I might rise again and go west
And here I am back at the table
With my bible opened to second Peter
Where we bring much more than what is sufficient
For the service of this tabernacle
That will one day be as a mansion
According to my hope to yet see it
In that such is real
Where the day star will yet shine in our hearts....










On Second Peter 1:16 (look this one up)
2-26-14


No longer following cunningly devised fables
In the stories yet to be told
Taking my optimum seat to write my rhymes
While reticent yet bold
Confident in from the bitter cold
This will be as my ivory tower
Not fashioned by corruptible gold
Having a more true word of prophesy
In that it never gets old
Sheepish yet courageous
In all that I perceive today
In the word of which is real....










Taking My Pepsi Challenge
2-26-14


Prompted to turn the pages
Back to the book of Job
Guided by the Spirit
In that whatever I leave behind
Will be there for me when I return
Taking on the challenge of loss and gain
Of pleasure and of pain
In welcoming a late winter mixture of this sleet and rain
Where the Spirit will flow through my every vein
Prompted to take upon me this yoke of one whom is perfect and upright
Eschewing evil so that the poets in me can yet write
Prompted for my potsherd yet to scrape off this dross
In the purification withal....








Substance
2-26-14


O, doth Job fear God for naught
According to all that today the bible scholar is taught
Given substance in abundance
For which I had sought
Welcoming even our Sabeans
With whom we have fought
Falling into the void
Yet to discover myself today once again
O, doth Job fear God for nothing
So will be today the theme
For my diligent and valiant pen
As the fire of God is fallen from heaven
According to all that is real.....









ferment

Ferment
2-26-14


By the fermentation of old leaven
We make our way to the manifestations of inward heaven
Where I move onto chapter seven
Stated plainly in crystal clear antitypes
By the conversion of grape sugar into its ethyl state of consistency
Where joy and sorrow meet
In this love of God we can know for ourselves
Where their idols might make us change for the worst
By the fermentation of old leaven purged by the blood...










On Second Peter 1:2
2-26-14


O, grace and peace be multiplied
Unto you through the knowledge of God
Only useful if indeed you apply it
To the life in ones walk along the narrow way
On fire today for the elephant I let out of the cage
Pouring myself out for hours upon the page
Going places to yet increase my faith and enlarge these borders
According to our coasts in promised places
Yet to see that all that indeed is real
In what lies inside of me....










Calling
2-26-14


through the knowledge of him that hath called us
To glory and virtue these are the stepping stones
That lead me across the brook of affliction
In that I glory in the Word that leadeth me to life
Sometimes known as the shadow of beautiful things yet to come
Whereby we are given exceedingly great and precious promises
Suffering with my Christ so that I will know a glory much greater
Anointed today in the love of our Creator
Through his knowledge of which by these we are made partakers
Of this divine nature of our heavenly calling
Known by those that walk this way.....










Adding
2-26-14


Adding to brotherly kindness our charity
Glorying in sufferings according to truth and verity
Seeking today the sound mind of consolation and clarity
Offering not blood with leaven
Nor to seethe a kid in his mother's milk
Being something that I yet lack
Yet I can know such in the shadow of pretense
Of disposition natural and fleshly
Sensual in my craving for yet more
Adding to virtue all knowledge
And to knowledge all temperance
As he who knows these things will not be barren...












Words Claimed As My Own
2-26-14


Shortly I must put off this tabernacle
Pitched like a tent
Where we don't strive to make it out of the woods
According to the memories of the citronella lamp
And the carnage of mosquitoes
Where I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance
According to these words made as my own
In that I claim the promise of eternal life
Yet promised not my tomorrow
Where joy doth meet up with my sorrow
Shortly I must put off this tabernacle
According to this time to lend and borrow
Yeah, I think it meet...







signal

Signal
2-25-14


Signifying the removing of these things that are shaken
Making manifest the higher places by which even the prophet is mistaken
As of the things made
I once more rise and awaken
Facing towards my west with a perfect view
So that I can see the real me
Of which lieth in you
Receiving a kingdom that cannot be moved
Tried, tested and true








Fourteen Chandeliers
2-25-14


Back in the main quiet reading room
Where in view are fourteen chandeliers
As it is seemingly cold in here
According to the longitudes of hemispheres
Regarding the memorial of where I come from
Out of Egypt once again
Sometimes turning back for provisions
To fill our burlap sacks with fresh fruit
Stealing not the golden chalice found amongst the belongings of our Benjamin
Back to where I belong so that I might write a new song
So that the angels entertained might sing along...










Inveterate
2-25-14


Ingrained and firmly fixed
Deeply rooted are these inclinations with wine yet mixed
Setting a bad example
Inveterate and quite confirmed
By all insinuation by which curiosities hath wormed
Firmly established in our great Amen
Being today the poet to take up his pen
Chronic by long continuance
Transgressing the law yet under grace
Ingrained so is my practice of such a poison
Ingrained and firmly fixed....










Antipas
2-26-14


Antipas was my faithful martyr in time and space
Where that which is then becomes the Now
And insanity becomes the norm
I went there for the exercise alone
Given my new name of the chief cornerstone
Antipas was my faithful martyr
Where I am still a babe in Christ in chains
Observing beauty all around me
To consider the grass upon which it rains....










Thaw
2-26-14


According to the epistle of Simon Peter
The servant and Apostle
I give God thanks today for my every breath
Regarding the parking meter
Where found again is my dinosaur fossil
Yet to beware the leaven of the Pharisees in realms colossal
Seeing blessing anew and afresh
In land to till in abundance thresh
To those that obtained like precious faith
With us through righteousness
Allowing my right hand to thaw out
Regaining its feeling according to this epistle
In grace and healing....







multiple

Multiple
7-14-15


Multiples of seven
A sign of strange leaven
Our ticket straight to heaven
Narrow is the way but broad is the view
All this avails me something
I sit at the King's gate to tell you what I know
It is read of Bigthana and Teresh
And praise God the coffee is fresh
Haman comes on in
It's a situation of win and win
Let apparel be brought
Let statutes be thoroughly taught
One day at a time
With the fruit last night I bought
For fauteuil and such faunus
We are entitled to subordinates and mediators
As we fill our mouths with arguments
Of multiples of seven....










Countervail Revisited
7-14-15


We cannot be trusted thus far
Out in time to catch my view of the morning star
Yet recumbent but upright
Still redundant willing to put up a fight
Reclining and leaning wailing and pining
And grapes to be gleaning
The enemy could not countervail
For the eagle and her dangerous wingspan
To put against with equal power
Where our gardens are fenced with crazy joy and sorrow
One hour on the hour
The king has his damage
Plucking the seeds from the sunflower
It's going to be a wicked weal and awesome day
For gallows prepared for Mordecai
For a higher purpose
To drive away the donkey of the fatherless
And saddle him up...










Much To Share (Have I)
7-14-15


I stand fast with much to share
As love will last that indeed I care
Then the King's wrath is pacified
Stripped of all virtue
Left with vice upon their prey of goods
They laid not their hand
Not yet out of the woods
But at least I understand
Today I own up to it and tell the truth
Calling these days Purim
After the name of Pur
And God knows how I feel
In that I still love her
In the fourteenth day of Adar
In commemoration to deliverance
Another awesome sermon on the fourth of July
Of the year of '04
Howl ye inhabitants of Maktesh
I turn my Dell off and bide the next hour in external silence
And no more violence...










Sea Coast Of Cherethites
7-14-15


Hurrah!
Pray for Jerry in Iraq
Easy to remember in that which I yet lack
Those whom offended at one point are guilty of all
Gaza will be forsaken
Askelon, a desolation
To drive out Ashdod and Ekron be rooted up today
I am ready for another tall cup
I would know the words which he would answer me
Hatred is like killing
God, I don't want to live this way
A man from engine three speaking
Freedom is not for free
O, baby let it all fly
As I will just be me
Punishing those settled on their lees
To learn new places and their mysteries
You're a friend of mine for sciences and histories
As the sun makes her way through
Weal to thee at the sea coast
I hope you get your crab
To boil and steam
Hurrah!










It's a Rush, It's a Trip
7-14-15


For veterans, thy shall not kill
But all have sinned
I sleep, I win
No better than a bowling pin
What's the sound of one hand clapping
As into new enlightenment I am tapping
It's a rush
Look this word up for further meaning
I'm not looking for a crush
While on the Rock of Ages I am leaning
Our biggest misconception
We are all children of God
As soon as your born you're dying
It's a trip
Look this one up as well for other definitions
Stand fast in the liberty wherein Christ has made us free
Freedom to preach these unsearchable riches within
Till I come give attendance to reading
There the upright could with him reason...

funky

Funky
7-14-15


To shrink from it and to funk
To think of it in how it stunk
Asking me to open up the gate for you
God wants us to want him more and more
Radical grace or not
To the believing all is pure
There the upright could but reason
Now that peaches and nectarines are in season
If this is all I know how to do then so be it
And I would be delivered forever from my judge
Me, my own worst critic
On sackbut and his saccade
Of rapid irregular eye movement
Bringing on the dream
And I'd be better off turning off my phone
To change my focus on the time that vanishes
From one point to another
The rain, it banishes....






























Blues-based Character
7-14-15


Using my every breath for a solemn prayer
As one for both life and death
To pull up another chair
Lowdown and funky
Of blues-based character
Offbeat, quirky and odd
To be one today to talk about my God
Wherein Mordeai perceived
I wait for medicine and pray for patience
For the cause of bitter waters that make it sweet
Lowdown, contemptible, mean and base
O, today I will seek his face
Running up my electric bill
For my Amazing Grace
She wakes to acknowledge the song of birds
Where I am far from being lost for words
Sooner or later the rain lets up
And I go out to meet her....




























Clad, Sad, Glad
7-14-15


Clad in sackcloth
As one to savor the broth
And God no more wroth in garbs of morning
I can as well rejoice
And I will not give in without a fight
Where perseverance will be my choice
In a state of reverence and sorrow
I am thankful for the air pouring through my east wall
Contrite to be as one to admit that I'm not right
Since times are not hidden from the almighty
Why do those who know Him see not His days
Clad in sackcloth and ashes
Living for today in every province
Fasting, wailing and weeping
And my cat beside me peacefully sleeping
And I will come forth as gold...






Calling Hatash
7-14-15


Calling for my Hatash
As one to flick my cigarette ash
The rains that fall will prevent conflagrations
As Queen Esther exceedingly grieves
Giving him commandment and order to know what it was and why it is
Forty dollars to spare and I sadly don't care
Because I am thankful for my hair
Good morning Guru
Have a wonderful day
Haman promises to pay our kings
As the day blue jay sings
Jesus, help me today to make the most of such council
Into the inner court
One can to both the friend and stranger
To be put to death
O, let me stop and catch my breath
There I said it and have spoken well
Even today my complaint is bittersweet...










On The Third Day
7-14-15


My hand is listless because of my groaning
But still I am eager to keep on writing on
The third day Esther put on royal apparel
And I believe in wellness today
In the stories I have to tell
My rump got a little bit wet
But I can live with it
And toll again the bell
O, what is thine petition and deepest wish
Will you have the steak or the fillet of fish
For our champain in our royal court
O, bless the grass and trees and let it rain
To see that such is not our last resort
Saying the invocation over a bowl of cereal
To conclude that reality is immaterial
I shall come forth as gold...








Tag Along West
7-14-15


O, what is your main request
Will you go north or tag along west
I still love them all
And hold my cards to my chest
Protected at last with street car visions
By the epigraph upon my edifice
I greet my brethren today with an holy kiss
My inscription upon such a golden statue
We need not bow down to
As among them are those yet faithful
On that night the king did sleep well
One hour to spare and forty dollars in my wallet
I did run well causing the gallows to be made fifty cubits high
O, who will go next
And who would discern the text
To hang our Mordecai
In that he needs not be vexed
I shall come forth as gold...







confident

Confident
7-14-15


Got to get out today and take a good look around
Need to renounce doubt in my way
And to see my quality sound
Confident to be a guide to the blind
A light to them in darkness
It was an insane early new beginning
And in hearing they still do not understand it
But what about me
If the salt should lose its savor
It would be good for nothing
But to be trodden under the foot of man
Got my laundry soap and my quarters
Got my catfood and a gallon of milk
Got my nectarines and peaches
Hide not your light under your bushel
I rejoice in that I have spoken out
Got to get out
I come not to destroy but to fulfill....










Rain Restraint
7-14-15


The rain doth but restrain
My going out to smoke
God bless it
I had worries yesterday that I would go broke
Angry with brother in danger of judgment
The same sin as murder
Do not alms before men to be seen of them
And today I am to plant my seeds and go my way
Clayton on base
I seek today your face
Pray to the father in secret and not to be seen
The sun is beating on my back
In my remembrance of the joy that is yet to be
Where the moon is running red
And at last I am out of bed
Where your treasure is
There so will be your heart
Eye single and body full of light...










Dylan At Seven
7-14-15


Lay not up treasures on earth
Where dust and moth corrupt
Take not for granted your continuous rebirth
Worry not, take no thought
In a volcano that wants to erupt
If the eye is evil the body is full a darkness
I wait for the rain to let up
So I can step out again
Turning the rostrum over to Dylan at seven
I'll get a little bit wet
But I'll live to see today
God knows what we have need of
In myself and me
Lazarus four days asleep
Read it and rejoice
Heed it and weep
To impute, to ascribe, to attribute
And send that loving vibe
If by heirs faith
Made void a man of another tribe....










Appropriate
7-14-15


Rainy day woman
Very appropriate on this dreary day
On my third cup of coffee
Ten thousand talents  of gold to he that is willing
According to all that Haman commands
Threshing much upon desert sands
I'm ready for inspection
I know I will pass
Like wild oxen that love to chew on the grass
Unto the king's lieutenants
I want to make my guru's day
To play Blonde on Blonde
The letters are sent as like emails
In knowing that God's love never fails
Hoping the harmonica doesn't wake up the neighbors
Where the room is so stuffy
But at least I can breathe in in
Like fumes of my main vice of sin..










My Bastille
7-14-15


Fourteenth day of the seventh month
According to our calendar
The day of Bastille
Tempting me to defy it
On the opposite left
Jews' enemies are oppressed
And Christians' companions get up and get dressed
If it pleases the king
So let it be written
I make my supplication
That it won't get out of hand
If I need to be the intercessor so be it
O, take the spoil for the prey
O, bring along the oil in something I can say
To him that hath cow eyes
He will be here soon
I humble myself in my own sight
Now that far spent is the night
Lowdown, contemptible, base and mean
Bastille day on this July fourteen....

Siloam

Siloam
7-14-15


Let it be the hidden man of the heart
May the saints all call out
Thou art in that which is incorruptible
Refusing to even regard today the weather chart
I'm up and I'm staying that way
Three hours to spare
I am clean again but not for long
Even the ornament of a quiet and meek spirit
I remember the joy I once knew when it was all so simple then
Who repays him for what he has done
In the howling wind
The sky is a ravening wolf seeking her prey
The weather has her own plans
O, how I want to step out and meet somebody
Referring to the notes I took thirteen years ago
There is so much to know
Our infirmities are for our testimony....










Basic Essentials
7-14-15


Like chaff that a storm passes away
The wind will steal it away
Given my basic essentials and enough to go on
Another prosperous week ahead of me
I know thy works, I know blasphemy
You broke the bonds
Your fathers, O where are they
And prophets, do they live forever
No man lives or dies to himself
Thou are called a Jew and rest in the law
They say God lays up ones iniquity for his children
And I wait without you
Your fathers, where are they
No man lives forever...


















Missions
7-14-15


O, arrow the cloud sheathed sky
I want to make it my own
And call it a new song
I scribble these lyrics and come nine forty I tag along
Pray about seeing the good in things and hanging in there
In spite of these conditions
With a pocket full of cards
I go on my missions
I can see those fighters' planes
I am he yet I am me
If Jews did confess Jesus
They would be excluded from the synagogue
Someone needs to speak up about him
Healing a blind man to spit on the ground
And anoint his eyes with clay
O, do you believe today that I am!
















Sheep Gate
7-14-15


Question
Do you believe on the Son of God
Answer
Who is he that I might believe on him
Here I am send me
And help me to spread the message of love
Blowing smoke refusing to stand still
I come into the world so that the blind might see
Starting out with a beautiful crescendo
Missing my Gloria
And we blind also
I take my chances
And step out in hopes for no more rain
But a man cannot contend with nature
He must just simply let her do her thing
For our Eliashib our High Priest
Building his sheep gate
So that we can walk on through the door
And get our quick fix...






On Job 22:3 (look this one up)
7-14-15


Is it any pleasure to the Almighty
That I suffer like I do
By the gate of my fountain
And my seven story mountain
So reappears Shallun as a ruler of part of our Mizpah
I wake up to tell my tall tale tried and true
Bono isn't the enemy
But an artist to inform me and you
If you were blind you would know not sin
In that you are not your mind
In a situation of win and win
In my spare time I am instructed to read again Nehemiah
I wait on the Lord today
As if he were my slow train
Therefore speak to them in parables
In that they see but not yet believe....













witnesses

Witnesses
7-14-15


Every night the dreamers come back to life
Hope, faith and vanity
The greatest gift is eternal life
Many believed after he spake
Son of man not came to destroy man's lives but to save them
O, quicken me according to your name
I was calling out turning on Bono
One hour before the rising of another sun
I've waited for you
And I'd like to say that you're the one
At the mouth of two witnesses
Another shopping run
Is done
Then the matter will be established
And I am one this morning to succeed today
Go and sin no more
How often is the lamp of the wicked put out...








Mud (Sunup)
7-14-15


Mud in my cup
By the blood of sunup
As the day begs the night for mercy
It's time to get a move on
Checkmate
The witness of one cannot testify
By my Grace of unmerited favor
It runs like a river to the sea
To know truth that truth will make you free
Time for a fresh batch
For the tasting of myself and me
Sin has no more dominion over you
And I will walk me out into the morning dew
And take a good look around to see my firefly salvation
Not by baptism
Becoming servants of righteousness
And free again of sin and death
Jesus has the cure when I catch my breath
Another man dies
In the bitterness of his soul...












Joy Cometh
7-14-15


Joy cometh in the morning
As today I pray for diplomacy and tact
And to pass on the news of the fact
To take a vow and seal a pact
By grace, by unmerited favor
Courage is what I lacked
We are of Abraham's seed
As met will be our every want and need
Larry on the drums and good weed
Never in bondage to any man
It's soon time to step into the bathtub
And to clean my can
In the rain we hear their laughter
Even though the shit might hit the fan
They, my servants which I brought forth
To on this day travel one mile north
And do it all again...












Bath Time
7-14-15


Yet servants to sin
I pay those taxes
Stretched over black and blue
To ye yield yourselves servants to obey
In that we will find the Way
Whether of obedience unto life
Or sin unto death
O, let me stop and catch my breath
In the trees our sons stand naked
As am I when I step into the water to be made clean
We are Abraham's seed
Never in bondage to any man
Met is our every want and need
Today it is good enough
That I do the best I can
The servant won't abide in the house forever
As doth the Son
What saith Scripture
You are the One.....










Drizzle
7-14-15


The weather had other plans
I wake to drizzling
Never was I one to recycle cans
The law of Spirit, life in Christ
Made me free from the law of sin and death
Not by works lest any man should boast
If ye were Abraham's children
You would learn to love me the most
Not as a Jew outwardly
Neither the circumcision of the flesh made by hands
Still building and burning down love
The sorrows of this life are the illusions to be shattered
What saith Scripture
Cast out the bondwoman and her son
I go there with you
You have sent widows away
With both hands full...

gamete

Gamete
7-13-15


Last page of the previous book torn out
Due to its weakness and I start anew
In my twenty-first book entitled diplomacy
For my antheridium of gametes
By the pollen-bearing part of the stamen
And memories of brother Raimen
I went full circle once more
But not according to Haman
For fine threadlike structures that make it real
For all gametangium
But for what but to learn the language
Of cross pollination
The cause of ones allergy
The plot became known
To turn this town upside down
So we can reach them for Bigthan and Teresh
The coffee is hot, sweet and fresh....




























Promoting Haman
7-13-15


Who repays him for what he has done
Soon I step out again
To capture the light of the sun
The plot becomes known
For another cinnamon bun
It is written in the book of our Chronicles
Promoting Haman my Agagite above all princes
For the growth of the stamen
Mordecai bowed not
Time on my hands
I put it to good use
My shortness of breath will be my prayer
Haman did not reverence
And I begin again to send a few more posts
To be but inspired in the first month of Nisan
I will find it
O, can a man be profitable to God
Though he who is vile may be profitable unto himself...




























Broadside
7-13-15


Casting Pur, the lot
Loving her, O I almost forgot
As if it were and as if it were not a broadside of praise
Vitamin D in the sun's rays
The poet and scholar can never get enough of its simultaneous discharge
I am yet small even when at large oppressed and crushed
The toilet again is flushed
And I clean up this place a little bit at a time
By my strong and comprehensive attack of criticism
I bring it all upon myself in penitence and no one cried
For the printed advertising circular
I will have no epitaph
Art thou also of Galilee
This is not a sad song
Our people sit in darkness
And this afternoon I tag along...










Job Was A Bullfrog
7-13-15


I lost my heart for my latest blog
Only wanting to float
Where Job as well can be the bullfrog
There will be better days of such
I jot a note
And the honorable man dwelt in it
I lost incentive for my post
The people that walk in darkness see a great light
Sitting in the region of shadow
Hoping for good sustenance tonight
And they look to the earth and praise God
And love Him with all of our might
Because I have this privilege duty and right
Art thou also of Galilee
Take it slow today
And take your stroll down to the bench
To meet someone where light is sprung up
And full again is our cup....










Take It Slow
7-13-15


Out of Galilee rise no prophets
O, search and look
Dimness not be as such as that was in her vexation
O, where is the tent and did the sticks fit
Any way the pegs are driven
A memory of camping out
When at first he highly afflicted us
Happy and sad campers yet in doubt
Behold trouble and darkness
And dimness of anguish
An adulterous woman brought to be stoned
Jesus stood up for her
Go and sin no more
I am the light of the world
Take it slow and keep on praying
To be able this evening to go
Written in your law the testimony of two
Is quite true, take it slow...










On John 8:28
7-14-15


The seam is split
The dream is no longer malarkey or bullshit
It is not an impossible adventure to feed the hungry
I am the light of the world
There is no going back
Today is going to be another good one
So dip in your bowl of chowder
If you believe not that I am he
Yes Jesus is Lord
And God bless the grass and my favorite tree
You're all that's left to hold onto
When I am lifted up
You will know that I am he
Written in your law
Many are bewildered
After he spake
Slowly stripped away
Love has seen her better day
O, where is the house of the prince
And where is the tent of the wicked...





draggletails

Draggletails
7-2-15


This fate is your own
To wait till seven to play my music
Of hell and heaven
Fresh batch of Forldeirs
For my inward soldiers
For Sopater and Bered
For Mount Zion and Assyria
Sipping wine from goblets gold
A time of valor where it never gets old
To strive to tell right from wrong
To write this here new song
For our God today I tag along
For Gaius and Derbe and Timotheus
Of Asia each face returns the mask it wore
Here we abide three months
That slap the pains for draggletails
God's love never fails....










Vatic
7-2-15


There are many lights in the upper chamber
A poem inspired by my favorite epic classic
Vatical and oracular either contributing eggs or all in
I keep the television off and rise to face the music
Many lights where they are gathered together
Satan is at his same old tricks
Nothing new upon the first day of the week
Lay it in stone this much I lack
Just as wicked as the whore
It's good to feel you again
Ready to depart on the morrow
Knowing God's love
Where our joy meets our sorrow
Together we break bread....








Huddled
7-2-15


Highly polished
Convex-cut and unfaceted
Is our gem that gleams
With a spoonful of miracle in hungry dreams
We will keep you snug and warm with flavored creams
Vatical and oracular
I must reiterate
Huddled and crowded together
I ought to slow down so I can write more neatly
Bang, bang
Clad in sarcenet
The sun is up and she is beautiful to me
To arrange, do or make in haste
These days more involved
O, don't let it go to waste
Huddled....








Mixtec
7-2-15


Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth
Taking a class on the mixtec
For the state of the great Spirit
Overthrown by the Aztecs
Mesoamerican in pre-Colombian times
One can always refuse treatment
Where he brings down the fire from the skies
Inhabited by the Mayan and Olmec
I acknowledge them in that they have made an impact upon us
Clad in sarcenet falling again into deep sleep
This evening to dream up newfound inspiration
And today to make it work for me and you.....










Staple
7-2-15


There sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus
Falling from the third loft
I know it's going to work out fine
By the climax of the epic classic of my Stoner days
Trouble not yourselves
For his life is in him
Breaking bread and eating well
Back from the dead
in being one to see heaven and hell
This morning I give rest to my Dell
Staple, principle and main
In hopes that this has not been written in vain
Not a little comforted and much consoled
You rearrange me till I'm sane....









curvature

Curvature
7-2-15


By the curvature of my ego
It gives me backbone
All in God's good time
Starting out the day with some Yes
Happy beyond measure
Even when life is a mess
For those that break the mirrors
Of our true reflection
I think I will just take a wild guess
Looking for my lafe
I don't need to go there today
She sweeps me off my feet today
If you believe it shall be established
To impress deeply my wanton eyes under twilight skies....










Straggle
7-2-15


Seeing today as an opportunity
Even when tomorrow I face up to my giant
Of going home to Mother
It will all work out fine
Starting out with some classic Genesis
A favorite of mine
A curve designed to deceive
I swerve but still I will belive
I draggle, I follow slowly
I straggle
But at least I am what I am
Now the rain has come to end
To but begin again
I'll take it like it is...








On Acts 20:2
7-2-15


No mercy has the sea
When you want to flee
I follow him slowly and I'll just be me
As he has gone over Macedonia
The new way, nowhere left to flee
Giving them much exhortation and encouragement
Getting older and still in the way
As nights grow colder
Giving me more I can say
Watcher of all
This is your fate
Right on the ball with nothing to hate
Coming into Greece
Looking for my peace
Wonders never cease..








Commissariat
7-2-15


For Aristerclous and Secundus
We keep Paul good company
And let fly the black pen
For the cause of prophesy
There we abide three months and purposed to return
Through Macedonia
In the interest of humanity
And for our commissariat
To provide us the food
For the taking partaken of at night
To help me sleep
As the cabman is fared sumptuously
And soon I'll be on my way
This I can believe
It doesn't have to blow....










Cabochon
7-2-15


And we sailed away from Philippi
After the days of unleavened bread
These going before tarried and waited
By the world hated
But in God created
Here we abide seven days
To wipe clean our slate
Upon the first day of the week
Lay in store as God has prospered
Heights polished and convex-cut
And no if and or but
Our cabochon our unfaceted gem
And our Brazilian nut
I lie down for a little while to capture power...







snide

Snide, No More
7-1-15


Snide and derogatory
Will we reach winds aloud in other skylines
To hold you near
Snide and malicious no longer
Now that I am stronger
Preternatural
Being beyond the normal course of nature
I've come a long way
Looking for Pushkin
Another read, Eugene Onegin
And Boris Godvnou
I never get around to them all
Where I call on the name of God
For a spirit of stupor
For the coming up with critical poems
And short stories
A newfangled inspiration
I see the situation as the opportunity...










Madeira
7-1-15


Shine over mountains
Make them new to drink from fresh fountains
And to take in the view
Something easily done or attained
Our breeze
Not looking around the bend
And then there were free for the deep freeze
In dreams of Madeira
Yet five years in my sobriety
It was just a dream
Carry on and drink the lasting of the song
Also known as a river rising on the Bolivian border
Another beautiful place to stay for awhile
After the uproar has ceased
We can at last see the world
To be a beautiful place
And the universe as loving....










Libson
7-1-15


Twenty minutes to spare
The cease fire is rudely interrupted
At least I went
Need to see it today
Gone over these parts
Giving them much exhortation
Come down off your throne
I pray for all of us that still could not let go of it
Into Macedonia I give God thanks
For what we still do have
He comes into Greece with a bottle of libson
Old-maidish is what I'm looking for
Primly fastidious
Well alright, I've been foolish
It's time I give it up and move on
So be it....








Zinnia
7-1-15


Our zinnia of rayed hues
Native to tropical America
Cultivated for what the eye can see
Primly fastidious
I say a prayer for those whom are affected
Namely me
Thought I felt a vibration in my pocket
The call can wait
Our sweeps are dark and dank deeps
Television ratings accrued
And studies for minutes to spare
I'm better off just staying put
The cease fire has been lifted
So be it
For our zinnia
I step out to see
How the rest of the neighborhood
Is dealing with it
I say a prayer for us all....








It's Going To Work Out In Our God
7-1-15


For sweeps and advertising rates
For quantum leaps
And all that God still creates
It's keeping me in suspense
For fortune in such fates
Following the shadows of the skies to see them
As figments of our eyes
Sweeping me off my feet
July first
The new policy sets in
I have still so much more to live for
In this curvature and back pain of the writer
Another meeting at Lafayette
Northwest of Indianapolis
And as well right here and now..

Orchis

Orchis Of Magneta
7-1-15


For ye brought hither
These men crafty with tablet and pen
I love the nostalgic smell of the first day of school
With him having a manner of complaint
And a desire to become a saint
For the artist and his brushes and paint
For my Orchis of Magnetta
White and spotted
But not marked by the world around us
Seeking out my campeggio
I learn to love the language
Which is why I write about it
But if ye inquire to set yourself on fire
Determined and settled orderly
In a lawful assembly
At the chime of eight I rejoice...








Cowslip
7-1-15


Today I accept change
At least the sun is shining
It is nothing strange
For the cowslip and marsh marigold
And her neighboring orchid
For we are in danger to be called into question
When he thus has spoken
He dismisses the assembly
And we all go our way till next Sunday
Have a good week
They all greet us at the two front doors
I am as one to practice joy
I never lost my place at my usual table
For my espresso drink
I treat myself to again today
Today I accept change.....










Iambus
7-1-15


As we are as one
A cloud unto curtains
Magic turns our eyes
And poets are as certain our decoration
Bay Iambus
Consisting of the unstressed syllable
That makes her beautiful today
In my earshot my mange within
Which sound can be heard only in our hearing
Distance and ones love of the Word yet archaic
I go on another trip
Expecting miracles and people to meet
Iambus with my Trochee
Go and find out what that means
And I will have mercy
In and out of season
We are to be always faithful
Iambus.....












Anapest
7-1-15


Our anapest of seventeen
The national jail bate anthem
By a hair band of free choice
Our pastille
We suck on it in hopes to quit these cigarettes
Our anapest written by skill of improvisation
We must have waited all our lives for this
Epistle written from behind bars
As it was with us from the beginning
Our anapest, our pastille
More than just a way to feel
Glorying in a brand new month
Our new number of perfection
Our anapest....










O, Caesura
7-1-15


Our pastille , our troche
I am the artist God created me to be just me
We dream as one
Someone is building something for us
O, Caesura
Our pause in the line
Nothing to be alarmed about
O, Liebnitz
Dictated by sense of natural speech
In rhythm rather than in metrics
Reach over and look to the light
And be still and start anew
A snicker and a snide
All for Jesus and not for pride
O, Caesura
A pause in conversation
To but practice my listening skills
Preternatural and supernatural too
I'm all ready to go...











Rebec

Rebec
7-1-15


Bound for my forgiver
God is Jealous with a capital J
Our role and charitable dispensation of goods
By my three stringed rebek
She is beautiful in sound
Leave your message following the pound
Our morass made to engulf and overwhelm
When Paul would have entered
The disciples suffered him not
It's another day at the coffee house
Another adventure
Another risk to take
To fake and to make
Another record to break
Almost spilled my coffee
I'm finally awake...








Spondee
7-1-15


Our morass
Our area of conveying, our soggy ground
I'll see you around
Flown with wine and filled with excess
In pipe in all quality sound
Another spondaic stressed syllable
With such today I abound
Another metrical foot
I thank God for hues I cannot define by way of word
Drawing Alexander out of the multitude
It's going to be another beautiful one
He would not have made his defense
Yet spondaic
Such is good to hear....








Wherry
7-1-15


Great is Diana of the Ephesians, they would shout
As bible scholars are curious to what this all is about
By faith I step across the street
To join a brother of another mother
In no more of such perturbation
We learn to adapt to these conditions
For a savior of staithe tongs cast a light on you
Where the challenge is direct
Where stars assemble
Be honest with yourself
Not such wherries
Yet we have our paddle
For our sailing barge
Free of charge....










Staithe
7-1-15


Our tracery of branching lines
Our ornamental work of beautiful signs
Interlaced and branching in a Gothic window of sweet wines
As the town clerk doth appease
I am down on my knees
By memories of Louise
Say hello in my new way about me
With eagles ye men of Ephesus
What man is there to understand it
No more perturbation
The poor will reign
As rich and knaves as kings for my staithe
What ever such a thing can be to the real me...










Emulous Flowers
7-1-15


Emulous flowers eager and ambitious
To equal and surpass
Let it rain and God bless the trees and grass
Prompted by the spirit of rivalry
Covetous of power and honor and envious
By the rarity of my rose-wreathe
Seeing that these things cannot be spoken against
Doing nothing rashly nor reckless
Not as robbers nor as blasphemers
The law is open to he who can grasp its tenants
Heaven is where the sun shines
Phil Collins said this
But that's another poem to be written....







silversmith

Silversmith
7-1-15


Demetrius the silversmith Making shrines for Dianna
She deserves every ounce of my love
At six I tell her this
To get my fix
Satisfied with well being
To cease the chase for bliss
Seeking Gogul
A founder of realism
I'm thankful for that which remains
By my pure collection and misconception
Bringing no small gain among the tradesmen
Up at six, not too late, not too soon
Listen to life, travel twilight
No small stir along the way...






At It Again
7-1-15


Turned on again to love
To travel twilight
And bright colors beyond and above
Arising no small stir
Next to a feline companion
That would always purr
Sent into Macedonia
Timotheus and Erastus
Where fresh manifestations occur
staying in Aeon for a season
Where Jesus Christ is the reason
Whom he called together
With workmen of like occupation
The sun is up and I'm at it again...








Fattish Is Beauty
7-1-15


Moreover ye see and hear
As one soon again is free from the fear
In all fatuity
He steps out barefoot
In want of a morning fix
Not too late, not too soon
Up at six to behold magnificence
So transform me
We danced
We once knew the story
Paynim by way of pen
But still redeemed
Where fattish is beauty
And fetish is my duty
Moreover ye see and hear not
Alone at Ephesus
Another good year on the same line
Made manifest by the same Light
These will be no gods which are made by hands...










Aeneous
7-1-15


A paynim by nature
But a believer by faith
A truss in my penitence
A rake for leaves yet to fall
Aeneous in here
I still love you brassy and golden green
Demetrius raises their uproar
Today I rest in the waters
Great is Dianna of the Ephesians
The whole city was full of confusion
Rushing into the theatre
It's the beginning of a new love inside
With companions of travel
Another mystery to unravel....










Flown
7-1-15


We've got to choose a new location
As we bruise our new vocation
Demetrius raises an uproar
Meaning no more business for the craftsman and the whore
Being Paul's companion
I travel with many manifold mysteries to unravel
To rush with one accord into the theatre
Flown with wine, filled to excess
A bow to my Rebec
Go ahead and play
Hey, O what the heck
Flown with luxury
Filled with pleasure
Where your heart is
There will be your treasure
Flown with vice
And full in leisure....









jurisconsult

Jurisconsult
6-30-15


Slept in two hours
Getting up at seven by abilities known as powers
And no more strange leaven
A remembrance of past blessing
Person to person
Teach me to reach me for our jurisconsult
Send me the song that will reach me
For my pillow-beres learned in law
Back down on my knees
You were there when I needed you
Attending my decretal
The sun is up as bright as its going  to get
See the sky about to rain
But do not fret...








Handing Out My Card
6-30-15


Children are God's heritage
forbid them not
As the jurist and the eminent judge
It's no way to live to but hold a grudge
As lawyer and legal scholar yet to taste the fudge
As the warden and the prison guard
I hand out another business card
Yet to signal orders
Back in the days when in was called Borders
Once upon a time
Twice upon a place
By our decree and papal letter
Yet in shackle and fetter
I have high hopes today just to make it through
Children are God's heritage
Such is the kingdom...










On Acts 19:15-18
6-30-15


Jesus I know and Paul I know
But who are you
I have high hopes just to make it through
Where the future is a friend of yours and mine
Yet to overcome and prevail
God's love on the base drum that will not fail
This is known to all the Jews and Greeks
Something for us to read about
Of one whom still seeks
And many that believed came and confessed
And shewed their deeds
As met in time will be all our wants and needs....










Vivisection
6-30-15


By virtue of the vivisection for further research
Resolutions communicate
And be honest even outside the church
It was just me
So mighty grew the Word of God and prevailed
We looked around on the empty shore
Using curious arts
We bring our books blocking fiery darts
Not just for good looks underneath the skin
Counting the price of them
Fifty thousand pieces of silver
Just let it go and relinquish
What was God's in the first place....








Banana Crescent
6-30-15


A streak for my Vizsla on V-J Day
August fifteenth
O, what does it have to do with anything at all
In a blue Sedan we couldn't get much further
Announcing their surrender
During the second world war but for what
It is all so senseless
Where is the love
Purposing in the Spirit
In passing through Macedonia and Achaia
To return to Jerusalem
Just to see the sights
I order up my banana latte
To fulfill the title of this book
Now in the writing
Saying, "I must also see Rome"

spiritual ideology

Spiritual Ideology
6-30-15


O, penny-A-line
O, Word show me a sign
Of Pennyroyal our Eurasian miff
I woke up feeble yielding aromatic oil
With her ovate and orbicular leaves for show
I had a bad dream so I woke at four to get an early start
On what ever would follow
O, penny-A-line
Central and controlling of power and influence
Seeking out my spiritual ideology
And the reads of Mayakovsky
O, madness
I will never get around to them all








Irrefutable
6-30-15


refuting the erroneous
It was a bad dream
Of creatures that would not bite
This is the search for their display overthrown by argument
And yet to deny its accuracy
I'm up for the day
This time I hope to comply, embellish and adorn
To face up to thr forlorn
Another symphonic poem I dream of writing
Emblazon and enthusiastic
I seek out my tonglen
Refuting to the erroneous
Where we cannot prove it to be false
By the taking of my pulse...










Hardened
6-30-15


Of extramusical themes
Of horror movie dreams
My pests would not die
So I had to learn to live with them
Look back, there was no escape
Soon time to get dressed up
And ready to go inconvertible
He goes back into the synagogue to speak boldly
O, beg by the waterside
Taking in tranquility
Impossible to dispute
As when divers are hardened
We let the feeling show
O, how you love them
When indeed you are willing to let it go...














School Of One Tyrannus
6-30-15


Speaking ill of that way before the multitude
Seeking a thrill all day today yet crass and crude
He departs from them
Another ninety dollar investment in food
Distributing daily in the school of one Tyannus
I intend to take it slow today
And to stagger through this darkness
And make my way into the light
And to walk by faith and not by sight
Asking my love to give me shelter
Yet to run to the height
And through the night
As I wonder of the general match....










Arras
6-30-15


For my Punchinello I make my face
And act out the drama for my pullet
I contribute the eggs that end up on our breakfast table
As God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul
Bringing silk handkerchiefs and aprons
As the diseases departed
In territory uncharted
As the certain of our vagabonds make it real
O, we do adjure you
By Jesus whom we doth but preach
For our Arras, wall hanging and tapestry of Flemish origin
We make due....











crammed

Crammed
6-29-15


The earth is crammed with heaven
And every common bush afire
I dig in my heels come the hour of seven
In honest apparel and true attire
In and out today up and down
In the here and now
Given the wherewithal and the know how
Recycling the same old thoughts
The earth is crammed with heaven
But God gives it a body as it hath pleased him
And to every seed his own body
All flesh is not the same
For men, beasts, fishes and birds
For pen, for priests
For wishes and words
Soon I will be on my way....








I Can Do This
6-29-15


Taking the child up after he is weaned
Offering three bullocks and an ephah of flour
And a bottle of wine
Sons of Eli were sons of Belial to minister
Girded with the linen of sash
In my wallet ninety dollars of lukewarm cash
Crazy, loopy and offbeat
As much as possible I beat this heat
O, dead grain that it might be a chance of wheat
A thousand twain
By the milk one washes down the meat
That which thou sow is not quickened except it die...










Celestial Writings
6-29-15


I glory of the celestial is one
And that of the terrestrial is another
As clouds move in to sheathe the sun
And I have gained another brother
Where Charles Dickens dies of a stroke
And another personal record for writing is broke
And soon I crave another smoke
Little Dorrit, falling on hard times and Barnary Rudge in his Bleak House
With a blacking shoe polish and fretting to be abolished
Used to impart a finishing for Pickwick Papers in the hands of Oliver Twist
I wear my watch on my right wrist....












Sown
6-29-15


Insolent, unable to meet debts
Or discharge liabilities
Yet living like a millionaire
Sitting on gold at his mercies are ever of old
There is one glory of the sun
And another of the stars
One glory for my shopping run
And yet another for the moon
Making visible the cars
So also is the resurrection
Wherein I learn how to wait on the Lord
And to chase the hour away
Sown in dishonor
But raised in glory
Sown natural
But raised spiritual
Sown in weakness
Raised in power
Insolent but rich
To sew another stitch....










Chartism
6-29-15


Dombey and Son
A novel about pride
Scarlet Letter
A book about adultery
For all jollification, festivity and revelry
Going back to Crimera
My peninsula of worthiness
Our reason the be here
The Son will lead us
I have waited all day for this moment
No such tenotomy, no such chartism
Yet to inaugurate and to induct
God is on the side of his people
By his encompassing protection
I'm taking a step in the right direction
Peace be upon those that are struggling...





commit

Commit
6-29-15


Commit your works to the Lord
and your thoughts will be established
O keep and watch your soul, your life
No need for gin or scotch
No need for the pocket knife
I used to cut open heavy boxes
But as of now I'm among wild foxes
Bearing seed for sowing shall doubtless come again
With rejoicing for my sparrow on my west wall
She sings to entertain all kindred spirits
One that is slow to anger
Is better than one mighty
As he that rules his spirit
Is better than he that takes a city....










Highway Of The Upright
6-29-15


Pride goeth before destruction
And a haughty spirit before a fall
Stop here for awhile and ask God for a spirit of stupor
Not with doubtful disputations
The highway of the upright is to depart
Who could have said it any better than thou art
For a throne established by righteousness
And another deadly shopping cart
A plea from the persecuted
I awoke in stupor
But I had the will to begin again
Waiting for the morning
If you, Lord should mark iniquities
O, Lord could you stand....










Special Treasure
6-29-15


Outside in the distance a lion roared
Inside in meanness
I purchase as much fruit as I can afford
By the froward of the son's strife
And the whisperer and the slanderer
I'll never get bored
Pride is a source of anger
According to the word of the Lord
As pride goeth before destruction
And a haughty spirit before a fall
God chose Israel for his special treasure
And as his own possession
According to the true God
Contrasted from idols
And this beautiful obsession....










Seek Love
6-29-15


Help me in my weakness
Abide with me in my meekness
I still don't know what it is that I done wrong
The heart of the wise teaches his mouth
And add learning to his lips
We fight evil but still walk the same
Excellent speech, our truth active
Listening at the ticket booth
Pray to talk of this while yet in youth
To cover transgression and seek love
To repeat the matter and separate friends
Reproof enter a wise man
More than a hundred stripes onto a fool
And we can plainly state
That trouble is the tool...










Ramathaimzophim
6-29-15


Of Ramathaimzophim of Mount Ephraim
Hannah was barren and Peninnah was fertile
Soon I will be gone
In Shiloh we sacrifice yearly
To Hannah a double portion
He loved her even when the Lord shut up her womb
For Ramathaimzophim I feel myself from within
Another Wednesday study
I had to leave the Baptist church
But I forgot just why
Weighing and judging ones ephod and ones tunic
Today I'm in and out of stupor
Like the battles of the Punic
Hannah conceived and called the son Samuel
Eli marked her mouth
As by the Lord all actions are weighed....

lapse

Lapse
5-11-15


You can get away and lapse into apostasy
But you can always come back to it
You can walk away for a little while
And gain again the things you lack
We return again into bondage
It is our nature
Going back into golden calf theology
Allow not liberty to become a stumbling block
Rebellion so is as the sin of sortilege
And we are all guilty of it
For object lessons and their ensamples
To avoid making the same mistakes
And the purpose of history
Written for our admonition
Where idols go to the holes of the rocks...




































Good Work
5-11-15


Had another crazy dream
Of cat excrement all over my hallway floor
To wake up to find that life really isn't so bad after all
All things happen for our example
Written for our admonition
For this I thank my God
Not to do what they did
Implying a warning  and its direction
Like sweet smelling incense
Of our prayers that go up
And a problem of pride
Let him that think he stands
Take heed lest he fall
Quote the Scriptures
Keep the guessing
We are blessed today to be a blessing
And to straighten you out is a full time job
Good work....










Reset Button
5-11-15


Reset button
With my miscellaneous cassettes
I feed my Frankinstein tonight
And he is happy with me
I straighten me out
A full time job with good pay
In the form of the wisdom that follows
I party on this weekend
Instead of the next
As I take notes on my NU text
The proud were unteachable
Those lifted up are as those with a brass brow
The dangerous place is in presumptions
Sometimes it makes you want to do it even more
Meet my libido and the fruit of the earth will be excellent and appealing
Reset button, I give rock another chance....










Pilot
5-11-15


You're the driver
So my inner guru whispers
O, my people
Those that lead you cause you to succeed
It's alright
Stay hungry for the pendants
For the bracelets for the veils and fore and aft masses and sails
For perfume boxes, for charms and rings
For the slyness and the stealth of foxes
And the rain that God brings
Instead of well set hair a baldness
This time I let it grow out
According to the preference
Rock on, me, my own main man
For God who is in control of it all
In that day the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious
You're the driver that flies, you're the pilot...










Not Out, Through
5-11-15


O, not out
But O, go through
Lean not unto thine own understanding
For pens of black and blue
Just trust Him
He is sovereign
He will take care of you
There is no temptation stronger
Than our spiritual resources
Set in place to test and try and prove
Providing a way to escape
Be honest and say Lord I need your help
For coral, for seaweed and kelp
And the promise of his faithfulness
Just is as it is
For tomorrow's foam, froth and fizz
Just trust him
He is sovereign
I made it here by the grace of God
Halelujiah...


















let's rock it

Let's Rock It
5-21-15


Let's rock it, no need to block it
Would you despite the thrill
They would not go in to see
When holy things are covered lest they die
Are these things so!
Caught in the web
Yet I fell in love with the spider
In this multiformity
And no more submission or conformity
Instruments of the ministry and utensils for the service
Place them in a cloth of blue
As is this pen the glides glibly cut not of Kohath
No more hate, no more wrath
They would not enter because of unbelief
Let's rock it....










Greshon's Service
5-21-15


This is my easel for variety
This is the cure of all depression and anxiety
It hits me about twice a week
Life is not so bad after all
Of various kinds and forms are my beauties
Remembering the tent of the meeting
And the tabernacle of the congregation
I decline from such an assembly
I don't need to be informed of the policy again
But as for today I just rock it yet to try it
Yet to knock it
Under the hand of Ithamar
The son of Aaron the priest so begins
Rejoicing where I commence the feast
Whiles it remained...










Numbered (Part 2)
5-21-15


Numbered by the hand of Moses
Encumbered by the thorns of more infared roses
For Merari the same deal
I am only today but spinning my wheel
Twenty percent tip quite fair
Not to boast but I grow out my hair
To recompense the trespass
And to be as one to share
I'm feeling pretty good today
I take not extra thought or care
To recompense with its principle
Thereof tomorrow a clean change of underwear
Add one fifth part and you'll do just fine...












Bitter Waters
5-21-15


Living out my nightmares
They seem sweet to me like a picture show
Paying all my tolls and fares
Reality is immaterial in case you don't know
Under the hand of Ithamar
This here is a good way to study myself to be approved
Carrying a brand new meaning by which I am moved
Not just another Sunday morning
It seems we lost the truth to quicksand
For the offering for jealousy
I would be if I see them together
It is my human nature
So I just talk about the weather
For holy water in an earthern vessel
And dust on the floor
Could you rid me of my secret
And deliver me from darkness
Thigh rots and the belly swells.....








Blot (Wash)
5-21-15


Bitter waters lift the curse
Call me a liar in altering this verse
I only wanted to be optimistic
Before things get worse
I call by the winds of silence
The priest writes the curses in a book such as this one
No one takes a look yet to blot it out and wash me clean
Numbers chapter six
The Nazarite vow
And all that heaven and hell will allow
Unclean the seventh day to shave ones head
But still my friend we are all of one bread
Let the locks of your hair grow
This will take time
May it be not just for the show....









bivouacked

Bivouacked
6-21-15


Say a sword, a sword is sharpened
And also furbished
To make sore slaughter
Where one fights for his water
In that it may glitter for the glory  of our daughter
To contemn the rod of my son as every tree
To look upon it
Until I can no longer see
To walk by faith and not by sight
To set it aside for the rest of the night
For ones thumbscrew
In me and in you
Bivouacked in order to be true....










Sword Doubled
6-22-15


And all that is within me
Bless his holy name
Waking up with Foldiers in my cup
As one glad and proud to play the game
Up at four
I want more
Because it is my trial
And what if the sword did contemn
And even the rod
Waking up at four
For the cause of the son of God
It's going to be another prolific one
Prophesy and smite thine hands together
Let the sword be doubled a third time
The sword of the great
And in this there is nothing to hate










Serum In My Pleura
6-21-15


The sword is sharpened and furbished
To give it into the hand of the slayer
Stop here for awhile and rest till daybreak
O, appoint thee two ways
To come both twain and one land
And to not even try to understand
Go thee one way or the other
On the right or the left
Withsoever thou face is set
Serum in my pleura of a watery nature
It's time I kick the habit
And to appoint the way...










Furbished
6-22-15


I lie awake like a sparrow alone on the housetop
O, for heaven's sake
Do I plunder their cash crop
Standing at the parting of the way
Lost for words having nothing more to say
Making ones arrows light
Consulting him with images thus saith the Lord
Remove the diadem
Exalt him who is low
Abase him who is high
The sword is drawn
I went back to sleep and I missed the light of dawn
The slaughter is furbished
To consume because of the sword and its glittering
Sometimes we need part ways
Just for a little while..










Tumid
6-22-15


To hear the groaning of the prisoner
To release those appointed to death
I would have waited forever
My echelon of troops
It's now or never
Where individually and elements are arranged in parallel lines
I will overturn it
It is our nature to want signs
Turgid, pompous and flatulent
Where I tasted all of the sweet wines
swollen and distended
This will blow over and we will reconcile
Inflated and tumid
Today is going to be hot and humid...

disingenuous

Disingenuous
6-21-15


Disingenuous
Just blowing smoke
Lacking in frankness and sincerity
Soon to be going broke
Adscititious
Derived from my external source  inwardly
Changing wavelength
And moving on with it
As I arrive I'll be gone with it
Come the synchronicity of the chime of five
I cause you to pass under the rod
And bring you the bond of the covenant
Like patience in God
You get what you pay for
Disingenuous....








Heaven Yeah
6-21-15


I purge you out from among the rebels
And bring them forth out of the countries where they sojourn
And you get just what you believe
And you live and learn
And they will not enter the chosen land
Pray for patience
Get the trial and you will be much stronger
By the casuist of the oversubtle reasoned
As someone applying ethical principles
Worth taking upon oneself
Looking for my charlamagne
To draw from my fountain and bleed my vein
And I ask myself was it worth it
And I say, heaven yeah....










On Ezekiel 20:43 (check this out)
6-21-15


To edify, to benefit, to instruct, to uplift
To enlighten To but reconstruct
This will make me stronger
When I have the gumption to see myself through
With the help of Jesus
There you remember you ways
Whereon ye have been defiled
But still love yourself
In edification and guidance
As such edict of the decree
Issued by my sovereign
Just blowing smoke
But at least that's something
For my days are consumed like smoke
And my bones are burned like a hearth
In expectations of peace on earth
Seeming to be a pie in the sky
To edify and to find out why
One wants to sit on high....










Facing South
6-21-15


Got my coffee, my razors and milk and my headphones
Good success again
No use in throwing stones
As God says to me set your face toward the south
And open your mouth and prophesy against the forests and the fields
Laying down all swords
And taking up all shields
Turning the other cheek
Just taking the punches
And in the process you are given free lunches
And every tree, a dry flame that needs not be quenched
Say to the forest hear the word
Behold I kindle a fire
And it's far from absurd
Got my coffee.....








Numen
6-21-15


To parry, to ward off
It gets scary to turn aside and dodge
You would rather go right through it
And face it head on
To thrust the sword and blow your weapon
For the cause of peace
To pray and not cease
Taking up my parasol
And drop the word toward your holy places
And to prophesy against them
For familiar names and faces
Yet numerous and luminous
Supernatural and mysterious
My sword forth out of his sheaf
Against the flesh from the north
And tomorrow I rise to but move forth
Behold I am for you....










coppice

Coppice
6-21-15


Things of the world grow strangely dim
Speak to the elders
Say to them
Are you come to inquire of me
God wants us to want more of Him
Like roots that never reach deep of my mulberry tree
In dreams I pluck the berries before they are ripe
And am satisfied in a different manner of a strange type
Wondering aloud O, what is all of this hype
Last night I sip the sunset
O, wilt thou judge them
And cause them to know the abominations
As I'm tasting the smell
Where I dwell in my coppice
In a small wood of beauty and bliss...










Baldric Revisited
6-21-15


Self diagnostic
My Dell needed a good rest
Far from being agnostic
I wear my bullet proof vest
Turning the podium over to Greg Allman
I hate the work of those that fall away
But we can keep on going right back to it
We can turn around tonight and choose to do it soon
She will be here and I will get through it
In my coppice and in my thicket
To another paradise I purchase my ticket
My Sabbaths they greatly polluted
Mine eye spares from destroying them
A Baldric across my chest
As we saunter one mile to our west
And in the sea today I invest
No more misfortune
And no more base
In that I know that God's love will not fail....












Bolster
6-21-15


I said, O, my God
Do not take me away in the midst of my days
As I would take up staff and rod
And hope to follow you in all of my ways
Your years are throughout all generations
And I will pick up where I left off
Getting my vitamins from the sun's rays
Ye are the salt of the earth
You are the product of this rebirth
Hear my prayer, O Lord
And let my cry come to you
O, meet me there and O, see me through
A bolster cylindrical
A cushion for my pillow
Take joy in last night's suffering
A weeping for my willow
On a post for lessening the free span of my beam..










Adroit
6-21-15


And I polluted them in their own gifts
Soon to invest today in the sea
A twenty dollar investment
I am glad that I will go there today
In that they caused to pass through fire
And all that open the womb
I wait for Mother's call
To have a happy time together
And I say a prayer for her
In that she is under the weather
Cleverly, skillful, nimble and adroit
Resourcefulness and ingenious
Yet still in ways quite awkward
With oil again I anoint
O, I to them
What is the high place
I cry to them
O, where is my place!










Bamah
6-21-15


In the days of his humiliation and rejection
Much more would be the glory of his resurrection
His name is called Bamah
The high place I reach today
Making the best of the drama
The day ceases to be dark and gray
Son of man, please speak to us
For all about nothing at all we tend to fuss
Yet in this your fathers blasphemed me
In that one goes to sleep and has dreamed me
O, where is the high place to where you go
And how can you be certain
O, how can you know
She's running rather late
But I can wait
In that there is nothing to hate....







areca

Areca
6-21-15


For our areca and betel palm cultivator
From its seeds
Another Contemplative Psalm
To suit the readers needs
She had strong rods for the scepters of the that bare rule
Still looking to my plastic gods
That I have acquired in my old school
And her stature was exalted
Among thick branches
It will be short and sweet
By reason of many waters
So are all the sons and daughters
Fruitful and full of the low and high limbs
In no more need for piquette
At least in its literal form
Nor the dharma of our stiletto
I focus on the fish....










Terragon
6-21-15


The excrement bubbles
In which I face up to my troubles
The natural resources are dwindling
And black race horses represent my morning stubbles
With wine, shallots, and terragon
I sip it up until it's gone
My béarnaise sauce recipe
To peddle and pawn
To share in our infancy
So we can grow up to be as a mustard weed
The greatest of all herbs
With present tense being verbs
I will be just what I am
A sauce of butter, vinegar and egg yolks
A little taste for all the other fellow folks
O, Jesus save me...










Shallot Revisited
6-21-15


Shallots related to the onion
Bringing tears of joy
With her divided bulb used in cooking
I'm still standing still and looking
She is plucked up in fury
And cast down to the ground
As all that I could say about it
Was I'll see you around
Astonished and bewildered
And now she is planted in the wilderness
This shall be for my lamentation of joy
As the verses unfold
And your soul suffers the long day
Shallots bitter but O, so sweet
Of eyes yet running of ecstasy
For our Patroller
He is what we have been looking for all along
Shallots related to the onion
A fresh cup soon I will pour...










Reconnoiter
6-21-15


Detailed for reconnaissance
For combat and other special assignments
We are given in the Way
Fellow neighbors sitting out front
For a smoke in my damp morning
And a fire has gone out of a rod of her branches
It's only a matter of time before I can be that blessing to my mother
And now she is planted in the wilderness
According to Israel's privleges
And sin not always synonymous
Yet to reconnoiter, survey, inspect and observe
In that I will receive
Much more than what I deserve.....










Gascon
6-21-15


A native of Gascony
A braggart, a boaster
For almost twenty years  
I have lived without a toaster
I tend to leave the bread's end
In no need to pretend
As a former province of southwest France
Come our embrasure our opening in the wall
Of such a fortification
Through which a cannon can be fired
And another pen like a soldier Is hired
A native of Gascony
So travels west to Spain
As I am one of integrity
Willing to bear the rain
Taking time the only way I know
O, speak unto the elders
And say to them are you come to inquire of me
As I live I will not be inquired of
A native of Gascony...

one loaf

One Loaf
6-21-15


Let the full moon fete begin
Then as Now
Given the wherewithal and the know-how
Not too late, not too soon
Goodness is out on the prowl
But if a man be just
It will be all that God will allow
Not to eat upon the mountain
Nor to lift ones eyes up to the golden calf
We hath walked in his statutes
But O, can we say this for ourselves
In all that we've been through
In that I hope that I have reached out to you
As I live you will have occasion
To use this riddle to your advantage
As a second benefit
Behold, all souls are mine
And we are all of one loaf...










Faux Pas Revisited
6-21-15


By my gaffe and your faux pas
Ones embarrassing social blunder
And the pressure we were under
Can you hear your daddy's warning cry
O, Abba
While in soft dreams you sadly sigh
Summer will come and go
My, O, my
To oppress the poor and needy
And to sit on high for our gaffer and our foreman
You hear my voice is calling to put on the show
Devil-may-care
Reckless, careless and reclining
He begets a son that is a robber and a shedder of blood
While I sit here and ponder as I chew the cud...










Lioness
6-21-15


Restoring not the pledge
One will yet toil, moil and dredge
Eating upon the mountain
In defiling a neighbor's wife
Our teeth are set at edge
If given forth upon usury
By faith I hook up another fellow lady to my work
In hopes to inspire
Taking increase, O shall he live
You say the way of God is not equal
So I write until it's time to go
Make you a new heart and new spirit
God is love is all I need to know
O, what is thy mother but a lioness
Courageous to make it down to see me
I pray for her safety and comfort
Restoring yet the pledge....










Where Joy And Sorrow Meet
6-21-15


Let the peoples tremble
He dwells between the cheribums
Keep looking and forsake not the assembly
Let the earth be moved
Let our truth be proved
Let our souls be grooved
To the sound of color
Psalm one hundred for gladness and thanksgiving
As well as for sadness
As a new way of living
Where joy and sorrow meet
Will be our Halelujiah Street
I will behave wisely in a perfect way
This I want of Him
So I can make my Mother's day
As if it always will be
I will walk within my house
With a perfect heart
Yesterday indrawn and introspective
But today brave and bold
She brought up one of her whelps
To learn to catch prey and devour men
Even now, believe...










Ballast Revisited
6-21-15


As ballast is carried on our vessel
At last I can contend
And with my God I wrestle
As resistance brings one strength and stability
To control our altitude
Nations left of him
And he is taken in their pit
And only because we do not understand it
We call it bullshit
Indrawn and introspective
Looking within
Don't let the devil win
Bringing him with golden chains
Seizing remedy from last Wednesday's back pains
A vow for a holy life in Psalm one hundred one
Ye are the salt of the earth
And ye are the light of the sun....















cognac

Needing Not Cognac
6-21-15


Again my cat takes her spot
No blemish, no boil, no blot
Keeping an open mind to these divine interruptions
And to be just me and not what I am not
Shout joyfully to the Lord, O all the earth
Break forth in song and rejoice and write praises
For the lock on my window and a chain on the door
From whence we are emancipated
Waiting for my mother's call
Another eagle with great wings and many feathers
As the song of praise she sings
In the storms she weathers
Planted in good soil by great waters
That it brings forth good fruit
Falling awake slowly
As the day progresses
I don't need cognac
In that I'm already intoxicated on the Word....












More Improv
6-21-15


Some say that life's too long
But at least it inspired me this song in the making
In improvisation
In Jesus we can't go wrong
To light the dancing candle flame
Where he puts his Word even above his name
In the moment's reflection
Say thou it shall prosper
Shall he not pull up roots and cut off the fruit that it wither
Sliding through Victorian tunnels
I pour gasoline through my funnels
Of a kingdom to be base
But made great in God's grace...












Prepared
6-21-15


Prepared to take a rain date on a sunny day
Say to this rebellious house
Know ye not what these things mean
We are brought into Babylon
Back into exile to be humbled
I hope to make the scene
Such a kingdom will be base
But it is great in God's grace
Thus saith the Lord, it shall prosper
Whether or not we meet up today
As captivity teaches humility
Taken of the king's seed
Met will be our every need
Making our covenant
Taking an oath
To choose between the cart and the horse
Told that we can have both
Soon time for a fresh batch
For it's been twenty-four hours
Since I made that which precedes
Prepared....










As I Live
6-21-15


Let the multitudes of isles be glad clouds
And darkness surrounds him
To the point of us going mad
We are to him God-who-forgives
And to this day indeed he lives
Despising the oath and breaking the covenant
So do we according to our human nature
As I live
My oath is despised
When we go back on availability
And reneage from accountability
Swear not at all
Not even by your head
I spread a net upon him
Thus saith God, I live....










What Mean Ye
6-21-15


All his fugitives fall by the sword
And they that remain are scattered
Exalting the low tree
As doth the good Lord
And indeed it really mattered
Making the dry tree to flourish
And by the breasts with milk
She doth but nourish
O, what mean ye
In using this proverb concerning Israel
Saying our fathers have eaten a sour grape
What mean ye
Go and find out what this means
And I will have mercy
O, how lean thee as children's teeth are set on edge...
