bloodwork

Bloodwork
2-18-13

The latest petite lady of my wide awake dreams
Was right across the room
In a blood testing clinic center
In that I know not how to reach out in times such as these
Given the pipe today to pass onto another brother in Jesus
To tell my stories of success
Of the failure that has made me who I am today
Where love is the fuel to get me there
Of which is the here and Now....



Plan Of Faith
2-18-13

I have no plan save my faith
In adjusting the volume with a new philosophy
That there is rest for the righteous
Getting a clean shave
Saluting my passed on Uncle Dave
Bright and early so am I
On another presidents' day
Passing the corn cob pipe to myself
Smoking black Cavendish like it were my weed
Of free choice I have no plan save my faith....




Repute
2-18-13

Of savor and repute
Like Zacharius for a day I go mute
Practicing gesticulations by the quality of sight and sound
Intensifying my perception  to my surroundings
Doing today a Metallica session
In taking up an idle pen to make her diligent
Of savor and repute
Given my frankincense and fine flour
To pour oil upon my bald head
To be the eagle yet today to soar...





Second Tome
2-18-13

Embarking on my second tome of the year of thirteen
Suited up in my armor to say all that today I mean
Going green, making the scene and filling my canteen
With the tap water fit to drink of my purification
Hoping to slow down and take a step back
And like a sponge absorb my notations
I'd jot down years ago
As if my history today is here and Now
Embarking on my intercessions
For all that pass on through....




Grief Makes Joy
2-18-13

It only took two minutes of my sacred space and time
To run a vacuum in the hallway
Where my cat kicks up sand
In a place that has brought me much grief
To make possible the joy yet to follow
In the lighting a sandalwood incense
Priced at forty for a dollar
In a market that I frequent
In lucid dreams to log when I again awaken....
