axiom

Axiom
6-5-12


Axiomatic aphrodisiacs
Linger in thoughts of last night's dreams
Half remembered of games I would play in excess
In the days when I had no such appreciation
In my avarice that kept me going back
To the places where I would get the words to carry home with me
And pour them upon this page
As a bridge to reach the other shore in my own way...




























Half Page Number
6-6-12


Today seems as if it's a superstitious numerical event
If you choose to see it that way
Looking around this room in joy and sadness
Intermingled in that it is not good for a man to be alone
Knowing that they are all here to encourage us to follow our dreams....














































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Four Twenty
6-6-12


Words are but signposts
To point to entities in the physical realm
Of beauty to be observed
By those who are in the Way
On their way to splendor
And four twenty rolls around
As I allow the chariots to pull out without me
In a physical sense
Yet my heart is with them
As I partake of coffee and beans at home
With my dear girl named after the unmerited favor
Inexhaustible and indeffigable
Tiring not in faithful flight
Present while absent
When this is what I choose...








On Nahum 3:17
6-6-12


The crowned are as locusts
That swarm in this imagination
Where a lonesome poet can rejoice
In the sorrow that meets up with joy
In God's love that will much more abound
Where right at home is my feast
When everyone is out at the park
Feeding to the ducks their bread
And I am content just to be here with my cat
In that I hope to quicken her indolent disposition
With the love at hand....








On Nahum 3:18
6-6-12


The people are scattered on the mountains
And no man regards
Where in a game of solitaire
I take not inventory of the suits upon my cards
Where in the game it's not about winning the hand
When all of such plays by the opponents are planned
As she judges my next move by my absence
And I accept what I choose in staying where I'm at
As the shepherd's slumber and the nobles
Choose to dwell in the dust....














acquaintence

Acquaintence
6-4-12


Modern day hippies are made known
On other paths we choose to salute
In that all we need is the love
That all can have access to
No matter where you are
These are the peacemakers that never give in
Rising up every time they get the wind knocked out of them
In their smoke as such will be to me a beautiful yoke
Believing that this love doth heal
In that it's so much more than what I feel....








Hedge
6-4-12


I can be as the hedge
In that I pray for those I see on the evening news
And this hedge is the Christ that every day I much choose
Willing to fail sometimes and accepting the games I might lose
Only to perfect my perseverance
In not giving up the fight
All day long that seems to my flesh as a thousand years
Time well spent with my flowers in my garden
Of songs sweet to dull ears
Sharpened by the bliss it has to offer
As the hedge in trust on days
I don't take much to eat and drink...










Faith Defined
6-5-12


Faith is defined as a measure of confidence
And of what God wishes to do
To make a change in the you that is as me
Of the consciousness of consolation
In the healing and release
Of the emotion that meets up with my reason
To produce this faith
That is counted as what is wise
As all day long with my sunshine
I keep my eyes on this prize
Believing to already have it all in my hands...









rookery

Rookery
11-11-12


Of rooks and crows
Yeah, the good Lord knows
In that they toil not for the seed that is to be scattered
In the fields where my sunflowers flourish
In my view behind closed eyes
To yet, with salvation nourish
Where tenements gossip outside my east gate
Yet I just stand back and let be just what it is....








Rapier
11-11-12


Sharpened are blades of rapiers but not to slay
Those who taste of the sclerotium and the Tuckahoe
In that these reach out and let a neighbor know
As I listen in on a conversation in the hallway
Asking a blessing upon those that are at work
On the something that might matter in the long run.....








Command Of Confidence
11-11-12


In God it is understood
How self esteem would be the command
To lead me to all potential
Freely given of that which is infinite
And anything less would be as a slap in the face
O, so it seems
Where I still stock shelves of produce
In these hard working dreams
In that I ought to feel good
About what God hath made me to be...












My Verisimilitude
11-12-12


Verisimilitude is a beautiful word
Even when I don't remember its meaning
In that it flows fluent on the roof of my mouth
As a palatable viand of verse
Somehow and by the grace of God
Where language is yet being built
In the mind of the bible scholar
Enrolled for the previous twelve years of diligence
In doctrine in that verisimilitude is a beautiful word....










Not My Passion
11-12-12


Vogue and fashion
Will not serve as my inward passion
Wherein I disregard that which is upon
The surfaces of things that are distinguished
By the things which are not
In my second attempt to read a novel
That by chance I found upon my dusty bedroom bookshelf
Of sweet nostalgia in that vogue and fashion
Will not serve as my inward passion...












I Pierce
11-12-12


President Franklin Pierce
Is brought to remembrance
In my study of the history
Behind a novel I take up today to fill in the time
In that I can know enjoyment in early Christmas lights
In that last night I hear the music begin to flow into my inner ear
Of imaginary Spirit that I begin to put into practice
To read again about the Scarlet Letter
To find what it can mean to me....

definition

Definition
6-4-12


Redefining athlete's foot
To serve as my newfangled mystery
Of a day where the weather is capricious
And the firmament is everchanging
Keeping my eyes on the cat that sits beside me
To redefine a sense of security
In the pleasure of the itch between my toes
As a part of my fetish
That makes me who I am
In nocturnal endeavors to heal...
















My Work
6-4-12


Reasoning and intellection
Seems to be the only work I can apply to life
On days of studies of this Word made flesh
Seeing that it is spiritual
When I don't give up on such a work
Counted as something
With material enough to be set for life
However one might define such a word with reasoning
And intellection of endless ideas
To keep me going in this
Where logic and emotion will yet meet up....




















Candy Month
6-4-12


Fondant and confectionaries
Are the theme for this June
Being that it is candy month
Where I can live on such
For a little while longer
With salt and sugar
To be in the stead of the trigger
That I need not pull
In that I am wise to be as the fool
Of fondant and confectionaries
As the heir of procrastination
And the king on a throne established by faith
Sweet to the taste....


















My Two Years So Far
6-4-12


My hope is the anchor of the soul
Sure and steadfast
When I wake again to my coffee
And then again in the evening I partake
Being with almost two years of sobriety
This is the work of my love for God
In any way I might know how
Not slothful in that I cover the ground
Upon which I stand confident
Where I take my seat on my throne of hope
As the anchor of my soul....


















Works Not Dead
6-4-12


And when I quote the Scripture
A portion of the Spirit will flow through me
Not me but He whom is in me
This will be my living work
To quicken all that appears to be as dead
Where early June this morning felt like autumn
Somehow in the humility with twigs blown from trees wet with rain
As words flow like rivers of oil
That lubricate my being
So that again I am made alive...










Voice To Share
6-4-12


There is a city built in South Michigan
With the name of Battle Creek
In that I know of a power
When I might be somewhat weak
As we learn again of how blessed are the meek
As my Dictaphone serves as another form of a voice today
I have to share with a late lunch to hold me over
To what is then that is not yet in view...









curacy

Curacy
8-7-15


Knowing this that our old man is crucified with him
That the body of sin might be destroyed
I'm praying for a miracle concerning my vice
As new pens like soldiers are deployed
As the spirits are high
Henceforth sin we should not serve
Getting much more than what I deserve
For this captaincy
The dentist hits a sensitive nerve
Given good novicaine in due season
Jesus is for my longsuffering
The main reason in all curacy
Our cleric, one who has charge of the parish
A brother still echoes in my mind
What is it that you cherish
I wish him well
Just the same glad to have met them
In the Word and name
Yet to organize and oversee....










Euclidean Principles
8-7-15


These days you pay for everything
Springsteen said this
And these days I refrain to shout out and sing
Seeking my Euclid
Applying the deductive principles of the logic
And I do it all again tomorrow
This is the time I will live for
In all joy and sorrow
Where they meet there is love
To search within, beyond and above
For Euclidean pursuits and ripening fruits
And a messy refrigerator
Stumbling upon another easy task but not falling
Come the destroyed scroll replaced
Nature again is calling
And I head on back down to the bench
To meet someone there
Let not sin reign in your mortal body
Easy to say and so hard to but perform....








One For Coniah
8-7-15


Fleeing back up the mountainside
It is the challenge of the artist to restrain ones pride
At quarter after three I catch my ride
O, so fortunate to have this awesome support system
And to but abide
What then, shall we sin
Because we are no longer under the law
But under grace, certainly not
For sin should have no more dominion
Such is how it ought to be
Even when often it is not this way
We'll see our shadow high in the sky
Given so much more to say
Come Jeremiah's interview with Zedekiah
According to the text so it is
For foam, for froth and for fizz
Don't ever let go...










Prebend
8-7-15


Commanded to come back to this here page
It's been a prolific and productive day
In my writers' rage
If I can't work up to you
Then you'd need to work down to me
And free all sparrows from their cage
For stipend and prebend
Drawn from the endowment and no need to pretend
It's a long and narrow Way
For revenues of our Anglican cathedrals
Our property and tithe
Providing all that is needed
And statutes to be observed, kept and heeded
Being made free from sin
Becoming servants of what is right
I plow on through straight into another quiet and cool night
And do it all again tomorrow
Commanded to step out again
And come back in to write a few more
Crowning my soul with grace
It's a long and narrow way...









specksynder

Specksynder
8-7-15


There's a price for being free
I take the lowroad and it's all me
There's a place you never been
That as sin reigned unto death
Let me reevaluate and catch my breath
To reign through righteousness unto eternal life
By Jesus Christ our Lord
On Monday I go back to my giant
To purchase as much as I can afford
So you I heard singing
While I was chasing dreams
Welcoming the rain to fall any moment now
We can only say that Jesus is Lord but by the Spirit
For syndetic conjunctions
Serving to connect
I see the dark star shine
For I have all the time in the world today
For my specksynder
I skim it to let it all unfold
Go and speak to Zedekiah
And tell him the good news....










On Jeremiah 33:21
8-7-15


Till I came upon this dirty street
I play the Lamb again in its entirety
With lips that slide across each chin
Praise the Lord of hosts for the Lord is good
And his mercy endures forever
Another call from brother John
We just talk about the weather
As he walks along the gorge's edge
Another brother wears upon his hat a pheasant feather
I'm no longer afraid of the bugs that linger
It's easy for me to say this as of now
So that he shall have a son
To reign on his throne
Within the raging water rides the foam
I pray for brother John
To put in another successful shift
And I can wait till Sunday
To get to church my lift....








One Way
8-7-15


And we need not escape from his hand
But surely be taken and delivered
Everyone is entitled
To the way that they believe
And in time all things will be set right
For ceremonies and burnings
For plunders of fresh crops and their learnings
We shall die in peace one day
The former kings whom are before you
If I want John alive
I've got to ditch my fear and accept his call
And at the end of seven years
Let every man set free his Hebrew brother
Who has been sold to him
And who has been bold to him at their pleasure
According to the law of the slaves that choose to serve forever
What shall we say then
Feel the cold from far around
The rushing of the water surrounds me with its sound
There's only one way and that's to write...










Mullion
8-7-15


No one left the key
And no one about it told me
The truth will set us free
And today I am content to taste, to touch and to see
Should we continue in sin so the grace might abound
God forbid, how shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein
Hiding in your cocoon
Solitude prepares one to face the next day
Know ye not that so many of us baptized into Jesus
Were baptized into his death
"You tell 'em", so says to me the words of encouragement
Of Mullion, of monolith and obelisk
I play another classic compact disc for Baruch the blessed
Jeremiah's companion and scribe will prosper...










Elikam
8-7-15


Already set up is Sunday's offering
I don't count it
I just give it by my own freewill
For Jehoiakim, our Eliakin
All of these names still exist
And are alive somewhere to this day
Waiting for Chisleu to put on my boots
And to soon hang my lights and set up my Christmas tree
In having much to be thankful for
Our Baruch defined as blessed
Jeremiah's companion and scribe
I still don't know how I'm going to deal with the ice and snow
I'm just living for today
I am sure that Jesus will lead the way
Jonadab is the son of Rechab
Shall not lack a man to stand before me forever
Out for a smoke
It's now and never
And therefore I am present
The moment I declare that I'm not
For he that is dead is freed from sin...

do, live and be

Do, Live And Be
8-7-15


The kingdom of God is here, now and today
For praying hands
It comes with the territory
And Jurassic Park
Right in our own front yard
To my chest I hold another business card
The tenth translated as Negev
Based on the word meaning to be dry
Don't worry the jury
In the telling of another white lie
Second miracle
My cat grows rambunctious
Thinking she's a kitten again
Inspiration for another ready and diligent pen
Thousands joined him for fields left unthreshed
It doesn't seem new
As you really have to close your eyes to see
You are so far from me
Coming to fight with the Chaldeans
But why all of this bloodshed
Declaring it to represent the earth beneath our feet
Not to wait but to do, live and be....










Our Negev
8-7-15


My Jewish brother walks out the front door
And I wish him a good day
By the Grace of God experience
And hope will serve as our pay
In those days Judah will be saved
And Jerusalem will dwell safely in these days
And at the time I will cause to grow up to David
A Branch of righteousness
Not as our own
But of He whom made it possible
For all that we see yet to be
God gifted all of us
With something we can do for souls
And to cheer them up
Down at the bench
As never do I mind the stench
Your gift the most fulfilling and most difficult
For rewards in heaven
And beef jerky at seven-eleven
You know this space is getting hot
Not according to what I am not...










Weal To The Worm
8-7-15


Such a geographical term
Weal to the widow and to the worm
Groveling and abject and contemptuous
Under conditions rough and tempestuous
The eye cannot say to the hand
I have no need of you
No derision or schism in the body
Up there on the neon avenue
And on the Indigo Boulevard
I still feel like a stranger
Given no such aim
But by my faith I plow on through
In my ways of cultivation
We are to live between the trees
We all have a place in the kingdom
As God sees
Using your gift is a privilege and a blessing
As by my honest engine such I am confessing
If it's love not how would I know
Praise the Lord of hosts for his mercies endureth forever...










...Amongst The Studied...
8-7-15


Praying for the divine opportunity
To catch up with a brother that has returned
All made to drink of One Spirit
And another month of money to be burned
Amongst the studied, the read and the learned
My gift might be my impartiality
O, let this carousel begin
As a lost sailor to be saved
And O, all these cigarettes I have craved
Soon it is time to march back down there
Some days the sea is still a glass
O, leave the mainsail
Referring to a special section of Palestines
So far almost five years without my semisweet wine
Till the chains of our dreams are broken
For sobriety serving as the true token...









Shephelah

Shephelah
8-7-15


In broad valleys of the south
Of narrow ways about ones mouth
I guess it doesn't matter
Seen the kids go off to school
And I feel for them
Our tone by minute and rapid variations of pitch
I hold the high note to represent a brother
That has returned to lead them to glory
For our appellation
In all bliss and elation
I'm jaded but still have the will to proceed
God gives me another day of it
According to want and need
For the prophesy of the Davidic kingdom
Write your songs if this is all you have to give
In the lowland of Shephelah
I will live....










I Spare A Loonie
8-7-15


Some got six months
Some got one solid
But as for me I am still free
Appelative relating to the assignment of names
Relating to a common name after all
To be capitalized by his grace a loonie in my pocket
A Canadian dollar to spare
To light the fire of another rocket
In that I would rather not care
You are great in council and mighty in work
I pray that these words will go somewhere
You have made yourself a name
As it is this day
For fish-eating diving birds of northern regions
With a short tail and webbed feet
Yet to set sail on a boat docked on Front Street
For one who is beside himself
I entitle it
The loon in all finesse....








Rose Between Two Thorns
8-7-15


Getting primed up for my blog and post
Hoping for a thousand more hits
For the cause of the Holy Ghost
I share my words for the masses
And at squirrels crossing my path I make my passes
Look how big these stones are
I have spotted them from afar
Knowing to be special
But not something special for greener grasses
What are you trying to say
So says the enemy
A rose between two thorns
I hope to make today count for something
To but revolutionalize reality
One day it will all be torn down
If God gave you power
O, would you use it for him
There's no time to cry
Behold I bring it health and healing...










Look For The Signs
8-7-15


We have a chance to witness
O, mama don't you weep for me
For all things have their purpose
For thorns to prune and trim
And filling my cup back up to the rim
A little bit too sweet this time around
To revolutionalize reality
And to ransack rooms of realism
They look for warning signs of Jesus' return
But these days they haven't been talking about it much
As if it has already taken place
Life is but a dream
In fields left unharvested
They gave of their possessions
O, am I all just talk
In these honest engine confessions
Duty of the believer
Is to use his gift to add to the kingdom
Men will build fields for money
To sign deeds and seal them
And I must say that I feel them....








It's That Time Of Day
8-7-15


It's that time of day
When the sun is too bright to go a blogging
So I wait one hour and return to it
Like lumberjacks a logging
To live in the presence of Jesus
Y2K was underrated
Even for William Miller
Whoever he was
Trying to predict Jesus' return
They give of their own possessions
In the making of brand new professions
So I wait an hour for the sun to rise
Beyond my sensitive and vulnerable line of sight
For the porter and door keeper
God bless those who keep clean the grounds
The weekend is almost officially upon us
Thus saith the Lord who made it
Who formed us to establish it
And fields will be brought into this land
For you and me...







socioeconomic

Socioeconomic
8-7-15


Coal mines of role spines
General public of the masses and clear signs
Aquarius also known as the water bearer
That's where I'm going to make my happy home
Another day of the Bear
And very much alive for the young of the flock and the herd
And thine that gives the sun for a light by day
So much we take for granted
They would have called me today
If I was to go
For the body of common people
Our masses
In dreams I take advanced math classes
Socioeconomic seeing through photo lenses of bifocal glasses
Blocking out a car alarm
Never minding lads and lasses
Soon off to school
They try to be cool
Of seemingly effortless beauty
Our Grace today
I'm in a better place....










Meanings Of Grace
8-7-15


Of charm of movement
And sense of fitness or prosperity
I am given blessings today in their variety
The disposition to be helpful and generous in our goodwill
Making the best of another planned out coffee spill
Last night I eat my pumpkin seeds and wheat crackers in the dark
As one to pull weeds
Working like slackers for a walk in the park
Of money of clemency and favor
Rendering by one who needs not do so
He told me to take care as if there was something wrong
In the moment of constant change
In the heaven above can be measured
And the fountain of the earth stretched out beneath....










Lucky Number Day
8-7-15


Lucky number day
Sucky cucumber bought with my pay
Sitting on top of the world
With much I can say
Sociable and gregarious
Marked by agreeable conversation
With the cigarette my only vice
It's killing me but I am made stronger
In conviviality affable and gracious
Under skies clear blue and specious
Of excellence of power
Granted by God to rule with love and not by the rod
For our appoggiatra
Our embellishing note
A trill fluttering and tremulous
Soon again I bump elbows with them to be a blessing
In this vibrato tremulous and pulsating
Walk me out in the morning dew for Jeremiah's prayer
And the Lord's response
Lucky number day....

F.Y.I.

F.Y.I.
8-7-15


Restless Friday august morning
I could not go back to sleep
It was a shock to see you but love will overcome
Am I making to you any sense
What am I do but to have said that I missed you
so also is the free gift
Shut up and enjoy your coffee
So says the devil by ink of black and blue
Streaming to the goodness of the Lord
For wheat and new wine and oil
Pull up a seat
Nothing to sign nor to foil
I rejoice, first miracle
The curiosity of my Amazing Grace
Restless Friday August morning
For the young of the flock and the herd
Of grace by one man abounded unto many...








Shoal
8-7-15


What happens when I want another can
I sleep tonight O, my brother
The black car parked at the side of the street without a name
Soon it will be autumn
The trees are stripped bare
Do I even care
Another shoal is where I made my goal
I've been a bad boy
For Christmas I deserve coal
By this sandy elevation
As a hazard to navigation
Open arms to the Lamb of God
To come together and to throng
All I want to do is write my song
Is Ephraim my dear son
O, tonight can we be as One...










Commend
8-7-15


As not as it was by one that sinned
A season comes to a bittersweet closing
But life goes on out here on the east end of town
So is the gift according to the judgment
I put in my shift and pray for brothers that do likewise
As by one to condemn and another to commend
Offering unto justification
For felonious favorites
I seek a little bit more rest
Not a crime in the books
Death reigned by one
And I knock back the rest of my cup of Foldiers
And boast in not want of eggs or toast
Voice tells me to be myself
To turn off Bono and put on some Dead
Refusing to be comforted for her children
Because they are no more....








Carnival Parade
8-7-15


The song that I played was the carnival parade
Where I don't want popcorn with all of such music  yet to be made
Come another age of Aquarius
By consternation in the equatorial region
Of our Southern hemisphere
With beautiful music to play all day today
In our rabble and tumultuous crowd
The lowest and the coarsest class of people
But not to judge
Need to unwind and begin my day
And just enjoy the fudge
My rabble roused
And Demagogue claims
As a pet his oversized bullfrog
Coming and going
Every day for the populace
And the general public
Running out of money and I need more pay....











duodecimal

Duodecimal
8-6-15


Duodecimal
Based on the number twelve
Duodecimo sheets
For printing up another thick stack
Ten minutes and I'll be out of here
All day coffee and no need for a beer
As the lights are turning grey in my color blindness
Being now justified by his blood
I am on fire today for the Spirit that quickens me
We shall be saved from wrath through him
Today is better than yesterday as due him
As God commends his love toward us
In that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us
Down by the sluggish stream
Maneuvering through the lowlands
Spending my life inside the house of blues
O, get the good news...








On The Right Track
8-6-15


One more composition
Before I head out the door
Carrying a heavy knapsack
My books are as my whore
According to my Twelvemo
As well as the books of the minor prophets
In Hebrew Scriptures
Yet tenable and rationally defensible
Of our outpost that we cherish the most
Capable of being held against the assault
You are the light, yeah you are the salt
A chance for love
Ships by time
To head on out
In hopes to catch my trout
On the right track I was right on the money
To bless even the harridan
To love your enemies and take it like a man
And declare it in the isles afar off
All is well with my soul...








Tin Can
8-7-15


My big brother is back in town
I wake with sore fingers
Only in you I'm complete
The curiosity of my cat
Lingers where I can't find my feet
Another tin can makes his way home
And soon I am one to go out to roam
And not only so
But we also joy in our God through our Lord Jesus
And whom we now receive atonement
Exalt the dark in that he makes you stronger
I want to give it to you
Having my fresh batch
And if when we were yet enemies
We are reconciled
I miss my Gloria
She's in a better place
Now as we shall be saved by his life
Our naval destroyer
And our landline creator....










No Offense
8-7-15


Playing old school U2 cassettes
Like it's coming back in style
I want to stay up when I wake up
And I get up to refill again my cup
Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world
And death by sin
Am I making any sense to anyone
Or am I just rambling
And so death passed upon all men
I pour my mud into the sink
To pour a fresh cup
So I can clearly think
On another weekend and a beautiful sunrise
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses
So I step out again to stop to smell the roses
But not as the offense
As it all starts to make perfect sense....





monochromatism

Monochromatism
8-6-15


Let me in from the smoldering heat
Yet to get cool and take my seat
This is what I love to do the most
With the quickening of my Holy Ghost
For my Monocerous of Canis Major
In my monochromatism
Diversity is a beautiful thing
For the earl of Leicester
What's the news and where have you been
East northeast of Birmingham
Built of sight of our Roman settlement
Our important center in mining and sheep raising
Another history lesson for the books
Is Ephraim my dear son
Or is he just one another
A brother of another mother
Because I bear the reproach of my youth...










Ferrule
8-6-15


You never stand alone
With your old school track phone
For our unicorn ones fabled creature
Symbolic of virginity
In purity there is power
She is a good friend of mine
For the earl and British nobleman
As flags unfurl
Next in rank above the viscount
And below the marquis
It is good for you to abide in me
For my ferrule in my old school
My metal ring and cap placed around my pole
As all is well with my soul
For reinforcement to prevent splitting
Our bushing used to secure our pipe joint
As with new oil my body today I anoint
Ferruginous for iron rust and reddish-brown....










On Romans 5:3-6
8-6-15


Trying to put that unwanted connection out of my mind
And not only so
But we glory in tribulations also
All set for another day of designer decaf coffee
She says what's the point of that
As I need set my limits and bounds
Knowing that trouble works longsuffering
And patience experience
And experience hope
And hope make not ashamed
Because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
For the sciences and for the arts
For when you were without strength
In due time Christ died for the ungodly
Namely us all
Yes, I have loved you
With an everlasting charity
Thus saith the Lord....












Not Me, I'm Just Quoting
8-6-15


I will be the God of the families of Israel
Not me, I'm just quoting Scripture to sow the seed
Coming in on sunlight wings
For the young of the flock
And the word another poetical book of text
Of truth for the aged and as well for the youth
I was ashamed, yeah even humiliated
Of where I fall short in a straight way
In which they will not stumble
It was just the way the cookie would crumble
Yet peradventure for a good man
Would even one dare to die
Down by the bayou
We cast in our lines and hope for a bite
It is beautiful in the middle of the night
As the small river and a creek
The fisher turns the other cheek....







octavo

Octavo
8-6-15


Again I will build you
And you shall be rebuilt
Like coffee I spilled you
As come autumn the flowers do wilt
Therefore it is counted to me for righteousness
Imputed by the voice of choice who make merry
Behold I bring back the captivity of Jacob's tents
No one was down there as I see a black dog doing his thing
Being fully persuaded
that what he had promised
He was able to perform
That's nature for you
Sin is the most natural thing
Taxonomic by such classification
In an ordered system
That indicates as well the supernatural
Of science, laws and its principles
In octavo print
I will make my book for the multitude....








Elapid
8-6-15


I will multiply them
And they shall not diminish
Always starting something that I fail to finish
On the chime of seven out in the morning dew
Is manna and her leaven
O, virgin of Israel
You shall again be adorned with tambourines
And go forth in dances of those who rejoice
Confronting my elapid
Befriending my mambra often with a fatal bite
I plow on through straight into the night
My green and black tree snake
I take her in as my own
Arboreal in the way that I feel
Arboreous
I pour another cup and get on with it....












Denizen
8-6-15


Neighbor and brother
Breaking the rules
Of another mother
For lions in prides and fish in schools
At the chime of seven
Marigolds are very much in love
Their congregation shall be established
Before me for sisters throwing stones
As poets step up to the microphones
He goes up as she goes down
To believe on him that raised Jesus from the dead
Not united for our sake alone
Looking forward to Sunday afternoon
Following fellowship
I will be there soon
As a denizen and inhabitant
I get my medicine
And then I wash up for another mission
As one that frequents....










One For Faust
8-6-15


Two orphan pages
I recall yet not written upon
Being justified by faith
We have peace with our God through Jesus
she tries to say he does not exist
Let her think this
For no one can prove that he is not
The universal negative
By whom we have access
By faith into this grace
That reclines right at my side
Cleaning my spectacles
As the steam of a cup of Foldiers
Saying my prayers for all troops and soldiers
For my Sabachthani and such Mephitopheses
The choice is yours
Our main magician and alchemist in German legend
So we know the reason why
Beneath one infinite sky
So be it...










Aristocracy Revisited
8-6-15


To shuffle in the gloom
Wanting knowledge and power
By a crab stuffed mushroom
It grows more beautiful by the hour
Their children also shall be as before
For aristocracy and the hereditary ruling class of nobility
A title of merit
The earth I inherit and so can you
O, through and through
You shall plant vines
On the mountains of Samaria
As the planters will eat them as ordinary food
I don't mean to be rude but I'm still crass and crude
Still unfledged and green
If you know what I mean
For there shall be a day
When the watchman will cry
On Mount Ephraim
As citizens deemed to be the best
I finally got my rest....












Despot Revisited
8-6-15


Gracie up to no good
Playing with my computer cable
Just because she is willing and able
Streaming to the goodness for wheat and new wine and oil
And for things that won't spoil
Come on my friends
Let's make for the hills
For Rachael our ewe
The wife of Jacob of whom he loved most
Get me in on the journey
Don't expect me to stay
Autocratic and automatic
Is the state of joy that I choose
I win even if I lose
Our ruler and our despot
Of the constellation Monoceros
A beautiful sight
Thank you and good night
In the latter times we will consider it...

for fats

For Fats
8-6-15


Upon the range of my own personal gnats
Therefore it is of faith to pray for Fats
Now is the time to be aware
And to take off our hats
Something in the sky waiting there for me
Good news, my cat is doing her thing again
As it is half past six
I take up my new, blue and true pen
I have made thee a father of many nations
As still I dream of good eats
On long vacations
Even God whom quickened the dead
Seemingly everything is already done and said
Before Him whom He delivered
Never again as such deceived
I remember a day before you were mine
As so I step out the door at half past nine....























Prostrate
8-6-15


Sing a song that can't be sung without the morning's kiss
Before Him whom he believed
To call those things which be not as though they were
dream, you shall be it if you wish
The sun is up
And I remember Tuesday's fish
Come all that is prostrate
Why can't we stay that way and simply create
Having the breastlike part on
No more fear or hate
don't forget your multivitamin
To give you nourishment to create
Being not weak in faith
Such is your fate
Another sweet beginning with finesse...




























Dais
8-6-15


Dais, pulpit, rostrum
Counting the leaves that tremble at dawn
He's a good friend so far
He has a lot to say about the morning star
For our elevated platform for public speaking
Abraham is justified by faith
Breaking the darkness to partake of the grapevine
Being not weak in faith
To consider not his own body dead
It is what it is
With music in my head
Up not too late and not too soon with finesse
Whom against hope believe staggering not
Swaggering while the coffee is still hot
Did not doubt at the promise of God through unbelief
But was strong in faith giving him glory
I am as one to go down to the bench and tell my story....




































Finesse
8-6-15


Finesse of her caress
My place is a mess
But I have no one to impress
Strong in faith
Giving glory being fully persuaded
He was able to perform
Our father Abraham
That helps us weather the storm
Therefore it is imputed  unto him for righteousness
In systems of nomenclatures
Viewed in science and art
Getting off to another good start
Ones procedure of assigning names
To all kinds and groups
I can now turn off my lamp
And step out for another smoke
Listed in a taxonomic classification.....

















rebours

Rebours
7-2-15


Put back your heart and sing
When you know you're still living
Never mind the weather chart
As the love you bring in another lesson of giving
In the Victorian era
Much we do was yet taboo
And today through the clouds
I can see my sky of blue
A good honest man doing the work of God
A cover of light taking up staff and rod
To love with all ones might
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
According to the Irish question
The idea that they thought to rule themselves
A rebours against the grain
A little yellow book
Hoping that this has not been in vain
One thought was all that it took to rebait my hook
Put back your heart and sing...








More Recommendations
7-2-15


Living all day on the nectar of the gods
With so much more to say
That will better my odds
It started a long time ago
Oscar Wilde converted to Catholicism on his deathbed
Such is a bittersweet thing to know, another read
Portrait of A Lady
Read as well Charles Darwin
The Origin of the Species
And many more recommendations
The situation and predicament
Was seen as an opportunity
In the Victorian era
Much of what we love to do was taboo
And I still love you
As a privilege to play the piker
And win thousands by a gamble
Cautious in his bids
That's the way she's going to make it
With tight lids
Reeling in my pike perch
On a day I choose to stay home from church...












Making Nonsense
7-2-15


A fence of rails forming as defense
A fish without scales
Keeping the fisher in suspense
A barrier of fortification to make nonsense
So far it's been a mild summer
In past and present tense
Up to the point of the Now
The restless consumer gets the wherewithal and the know how
As it seems I'm stuck
But all I can Say is what the ****
Excuse my Egyptian of my old ways
For my palisade
My life of lofty steep cliffs
Usually along a river
Taking in chimerical riffs
As the music to deliver
Grammatical error intended
For the purpose of the reader's forgiveness
Apology accepted...












Firstlings
7-2-15


Far from the hustling down
The predicament is an opportunity
If we can see it that way with nothing
O, save the breeze
A firstling of males that come of the herd of the flock
And God's love that never fails
Mama, I'm coming home
God, may us be a blessing to one another
A weekend set apart in the Lord
Where thou do no work with the firstlings
Of bullock or of sheep
And in such a river raging
One cannot get too much more deep
For glory in the morning
Slowly I will fall awake out of sleep
To roll away the dew as well advised
Thou eat it before God year by year
For the conscience sake
So we need not fear
In a place where he will choose
We will win even if we lose....

sallet

Sallet
7-2-15


Of helmet and sallet
By hammer and mallet
By bed, O take up your pallet
Fitted with a visor now that you are older and wiser
Our salted and our starchy meal
Much more than a way to feel
Grown from dried roots of Old World orchids
Used in food and medicine
Coining inventions of Franklin and of Edison
I am here only as an observer
A child that lives for today
My eyes full of sunshine
I was a child for a day
Of the half tribe of Manessah
Eighteen thousand
Getting older and wiser with every day
We were the children....










New Cart
7-2-15


Therefore I command thee this thing today
I was a child who lived for today
My eyes full of sunshine
And they carried the ark of God in a new cart
Out of the house of Abinadab
But for what but that these things could be written
Seeing to be once again as smitten
Sending messengers and timbers of cedars
We send them out to fill again bird feeders
As the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley
As I seek to slow down and capture the riff
Rarified and raging for the nymph of Salmacis
And Hermaphrodites
I lose sight in just what I am doing here
By the ducal and the duchy
Soon I will get lucky...










Awl
7-2-15


A territory ruled by a citizen of our dukedom
Something I cannot explain in words
Due to this block
Wherein I raise the roof and roll away the rock
As a duchy I am soon to get lucky
If this is what I believe
Yes believe and it shall be established
For my chambre-de-ville
Slaves are set free in the seventh year
Then we take up the awl to thrust through his ear
And he will be your servant forever
Or however long it might take to conduct this business of our endeavor
And maidservant do likewise
Better late than never
This is my way of learning scripture
As a slave and a poet of my own.....










Double Hired Servant
7-2-15


And David made him houses
And took to him spouses
It shall not seem hard unto thee
It will be as a wild card to thee
To complete another royal flush for a guard over thee
After all these years you still sojourn in the same place
A survivor in seniority by God's grace
Preparing a place for the ark
In the scintillating of a spark
Where man still prefers the dark
Hoping to befriend his great white shark
Hoping to listen and to hark
It shall not be hard to thee
To simply set him free
For he hath been a double hired servant
And I have love enough for three
In serving thee six years
And God will bless thee in all thou do
In no regret nor rue
And through the clouds
I can see my sky of blue....











dank

Dank
7-2-15


Today I'm sucking it up
Seems the more you make
Equals to the loneliness you get in no such regret
Spending Benjamins on vice alone
Biding Franklins in dreams of returning to the hard stuff
For the doer that never cease out of the land
Therefore we are commanded to open our hand wide
All for Jesus and not for pride of Zebulun
Such as went forth to battle
Standing like a statue in spite of herds of cattle
With all instruments of war
It's the prudent against your whore
Fifty thousand which could keep rank
And a great God in heaven whom to thank
Just drifting away on a day dark and dank....










Bohemian
7-2-15


Today all over the stage
I lost sight of acting out my inner sage
And we have our imaginings
And I remember you yet bohemian
Of artistic and literary interests
Disregarding the conventional
Ask and you will receive
A peach for my prig
Demonstrating an exaggerated conformity
In a smug matter
I contribute for a platter
Looking for happy and for the flamboyant
Love will take you by the hand
And drop you where you stand
David goes out to meet them
And to share his new song
If ye come peaceably unto me to help me
Then by all means just do
Because I still love you...










Peach For The Prig
7-2-15


A peach for my prig
It's nothing new, it's nothing big
Her juice is dripping all over my floor
Beating swords into pruninghooks
To learn war no more
Yet to seek out Middlemarch and Romela
As a dandy and a fop but not conceited
Nothing wrong with loving what God had made you
Just living to die to sit at home and wait for the milk to come soon
Again to go out and roam where the difference is greater than the sum
As scenes from clerical life with Adam Bede
As one to take the lead and see to the need
O, open wide your hand
And I will have mercy
When you seek to understand
And if a brethren be sold to you
To serve you six years
The seventh year he goes free
In spite of doubts and fears....










Balancelle
7-2-15


For my balancelle
I acquire my next meal
To put a little love in my heart
Not according to a way I might feel
I was on the road north tomorrow
Splitting the hairs on past and present tenses
O, here I go, Libra also known as Balance and as Scales
It is God's love that never fails
Shown another day to get me saying
"I think I see the light!"
No rules or regulations
In what I do here and Now
For my bastingage and a finch
Let out of her cage
By bastinads cudgel and stick
I guarantee you will have a good one
Free from infirmity
And no more quite as sick
Taking a beating
But still I'm looking forward to seeing you...










Salle-A-Manger
7-2-15


and of the children of Issachar
I wait for her green hybrid car
In another dream where she needed to pick me up
And get me out of trouble
And when I tried to refuse such was made double
When thou send them out free
Thou will not let him go out empty
Because I only care for you
O, sweet Jamaica like a good drink
I order up my blackberry
everybody needs a friend to brighten up their world
If he shows up I will tell him the truth about me
And I furnish him liberally out of my flock, floor and winepress
For my Salle-A-Manger
Saluting the park ranger
A happy camper safe and sound from danger
As thou remember that you were once a bondman
In Egypt just as well....

uppercut

Uppercut
7-2-15


Top lip was still chapped
I made it bleed when I would smile
As so the genealogies I skipped
So I can bask in the hard stuff for a little while
So Saul died for his transgressions
And I go against my father's advice
And go ahead and splurge on a mocha
Playing Van the man to start out the day
The sound a bit muffled but well appreciated
Back to a better day
Where the mind is the control tower
And of its kind to in purity is power
Mission accomplished
Back from church and I got my cigarettes
As one to come to terms with archangelic sillhouetes
I don't need to watch the game
I don't need the internet smut
As nothing is as it seems
In turning the other cheek to an uppercut....










Abstinence
7-2-15


One burning by a chromozone
Back on the wagon
So far the third day of abstinence
Keep seeking
The bible is a lifestyle
With occupation overthrown
And whispering through your megaphone
And of Asher
Such as went forth to battle
Seek habitually
God wants you and I
To live life more abundantly
The little that he needs of us is nothing
He conceives back at home
Come Sunday I know it's going to work out fine
You died to your own ways
But as a dog returning to his vomit
Where the window shades are drawn
And I see she's reached my heart in thin air
Seek habitually
And feel free to want more and more.....










Unplugged
7-2-15


Needing not to explain myself
About what went on yesterday
He might not even show
I don't need to let him know
Three so far, good start
For territory yet to chart
My mantra, O thou art
All you write is sacred
Breathing in the thoughts of Zen
And staying in the Now and then
On the day before the flood
I ramble in a need to spread my horns
To unleash my creativity
And to stir up the gift
Where the song goes dim
And the branches need a trim
Yet to meet my saw at three
Hoping she's right on time
So I don't get bored out of my tree
Many interruptions and distractions
As the voice says to me
Boast not in iniquity....












Love Is A Verb
7-2-15


Stumbled upon a rare track entitled Dignity
Not the same as pride or conceit
Managing to stay out of the rack
Hoping to stay complete with money to burn
And sip with relish
Even when things tend to get hellish
They put to flight
We on they in the valleys
Both toward the east and towards the west
All aboard the feast
That doth serve as my true test
Gluttony or not
Avarice at eleven on the dot
Strengthen the things that remain
For to live is Christ and to die is gain
Today I give my pen another break till I return
I disposed of my ashtrays
Love is a verb where lucre kills
As the cash doth slay...












Blur Racer Revisited
7-2-15


Beware there be not a thought
In a wicked heart
Of which we are all as such
Something he had as an ingrained being
He found himself staring down at his own hand
Not remembering change to lend him
Sufficiently for his need
Thankful for the lesser lights
Like a book I wrote in my sleep
Though surely give him
And thine heart for alkaline on the side
I ramble and pour myself onto the page all the day long
Quite short in its complete scope
Give and be blessed
Do and the thoughts will be established
But don't expect it
God shall bless thee in all thy works today
And thine heart need not be grieved....













what happened!

What Happened!
7-1-15


wanting to make a resolution
To change the way I write my poem
Lose the time, love the rhyme
But end up rhyming anyway
O, woe and weal worth the day
Slipping into deep unconsciousness
Walk down to the end of the driveway if you must
And keep on keeping on in spite of disgust
Most people not open to truth
At the well they talk about it
Be tactful, don't break in
They already have their own
I can cope with this
I sometimes get too heavy for my own ears
Let alone my music collection
You can put a seed in the ground
And that's about it
Let's just say it happened at twelve-thirty
What happened!










Scar
7-2-15


My own music wasn't working
So I had to just blow it
Observing on my left arm a scar from somewhere
But at least I have a left arm
According to transition
My pen is my magic charm
According to position
And no set clock radio alarm
As so with us the Philistines fought
And by good warfare we are taught
My inner pacifist disagrees
First nine chapters
Endless genealogies
Names, names and more names
So Saul dies and all of his house together
And they still chase us
All the days of our life
The Philistines as a symbol of strife...










As It Comes To Pass
7-2-15


As it comes to pass on the morrow
I write till it's time to go to lend and borrow
Knowing God's love
Where joy meets up with sorrow
Four dollars for the cause
The price of a cat flea collar
Not wearied about the litter box today
O, set something aside
Having in store for the days when the manna is lacking
Lights out till sunup
A plan of attacking
In my musicology journaling
And pewter blacking
And it comes to pass on the next day
That it didn't need to be a vexed ray
The Philistines come to strip the slain as well
As to arrive to grip and to entertain
As a grasping of this truth
And not in the heavy metal
Is my connection to God
Condoned and justified....

unfathomable

Unfathomable
7-1-15


I forgot the things I had plans for
Ignorance is bliss but no longer an option
Jesus, not a creative being
He is fully and absolute God
My house is so blissfully calm
If preferred to as something I am becoming
Still fighting my Philistines
They follow me when I try to run away
Opening boxes and drawing lines because his worth
Is your ode to say that you want more and more
Such an avarice for Him is no sin
As worship as our response in faith we can see before we believe
I still fight my Philistines
I've been there
I tasted all of those sweet wines
Death to this whispering plea
Unfathomable
Faith, not about learning more stuff
I forgot what I was going to say
So I suppose I'll just listen....




















Going Bass Fishing
7-1-15


It took me seventeen seconds
To write my AM
Make love and make peace
Can I get an amen
Great change is going to carry you today
I go bass fishing
In the power of my cards
I'm like a little child that can't sit still
My life is His
He is before all things
And by Him all things consist
Laying up all the tracks for the company
As something I must still practice
I hope to hook them up
To what I had to say last year
Sounding fanatical
I pray today for the victory
Don't talk about the ten dollars to anyone
Just let it go
We come to turn your world around
Hold me.....










A Concept received By Faith
7-1-15


In that Jesus is God
A concept received by faith
He is the head of the body
Don't talk about the sixteen dollars
You will have your reward in heaven
I pray that I won't be afraid of this
I pray today for my victory
Start over in Job again
It doesn't need to be a downer
Bad news first
Such is as good news
Like hitting the booze
Welcome, so Saul dies with his three sons
And this is my story and I will stick to my guns
As it comes to pass on the morrow
That I'll back out and tell my case worker
That I'm conserving
For those that are nameless
Does memory remain
We're free to secede
Like crimson turned into gold....












It Was Something I Said
7-1-15


Ones mouth can get one into a lot of trouble
Out in the world come want to burst your bubble
Like scarlet turned into platinum
So goes the Boss' third album
Almost every song a hit
Good analogy
Christ holds it all together
Not of words of our own
We are not to take the credit
As I have so much more to edit
Terrible penmanship
Due to the caffeine
Tremors we need to free the jet ski
I couldn't get it all in one lesson
We know that believing is seeing
The bad trip yesterdays was well worthwhile
America is beautiful but she has an ugly side
When it comes to pride
Today is a special day
Like the individual praying without ceasing
All around the world....










"Who's Jesus To You"
7-1-15


The Ark, only one door, Jesus
Get ready for the flood
Finding new hope in my tomorrow
The ink of my pen reminds me
Of the blueberry on the bottom of my cup
I lost the incentive for bass fishing
But I'll be back in there tomorrow
It must have been something I said about my old man
As a rant of my conscience not conscious
It's not about your religion
They've got their own
Few that be that find it
Reticent again
It doesn't matter
It must have been something I said
This morning I was in denial
And now it has caught up with me
Reticent for three hours amongst ordinary people...
