curculio

Curculio
12-30-15

Of aperture and gap
Country sounds like rap
As camera or as the lens
And our escape from lions' dens
Mature and dignified
I'll sleep good tonight
Notwithstanding
It pleased Silas to abide there still
One bag at a time
My friend, dignified, stately and decorous
To curdle and coagulate
And exits of the daylight and consolation
O, my curculio
No whitewashed victim
Feeding tonight on my fruits of such labor
One bag at a time, my friend...




"Love Is All You Need"
12-30-15

A lady across the room with perfect hair
And a little girl
I thank God for what I don't have
To be but with them peace and love
Then pleased it the apostles
To make findings of dinosaur fossils
Along with ermine and stoat
They want to make for me a winter coat
But I cannot afford it
Our doer and judge wearing such a robe
But that we write unto them
That all we need is love
Another weasel word for the enthusiast...






Benedict (Bachelor)
12-30-15

Semiaquatic weasels of Eurasia
Of soft lustrous fur
Another bachelor stays indoors to enjoy the coffee
Trying to kick the cigarettes
Much ado about nothing for our benedict
For our fur seal valuable for its flush underfur
Sounds cruel but that's business
I turn to behold madness and folly
I can learn to live with sadness and melancholy
But still I choose to praise my Lord in all things
As far as light excels the darkness
And Paul chose Silas and departed....






orifice

Orifice
12-30-15

Go to now, I prove thee
With mirth
Milk that cow as long as you are on the earth
Therefore enjoy pleasure
This is also vanity
Target truck runs east
As I decline another invitation to their feast
Cleansing our orifice
Nursing our wound
Our opening and aperture
Of hole, mouth and vent
And a Limosine to rent
I made me great works and built houses
And planted vineyards
Such different fortunes and fates
Some live behind iron gates
Giving the testimony of the Word of grace
Today I'm in a better place
One bag at a time....




Aperient Joe
12-30-15

Giving myself to wine to lay hold on folly
To get me through all of those times of my melancholy
As the Jews stir up the devout and honorable
Long time therefore abode they an image of the way I feel
I go home to blog and wash my clothes
After drinks aperient
Making me feel uneasy
Who cares what a fool believes
Melancholy and dignified
A little closer to you
I still crank them out
Having enough
O, so long ago without a doubt.....





counterculture

Counterculture
12-30-15

Passing through Pisidia
To come to Pamphylia
Get on your boots again
Tonight I gave my heart and set my mind to know wisdom
This sore travail but love will never fail
Four bags to washing and dry costing me fifteen dollars
It's nice to have clean shirts
Confirming their souls
Playing lead roles
Given by God to sons of men
To be exercised and afflicted
And to fulfilment addicted
Conforming to this obligation
For the counterculture and prey taken by hawk and vulture
It's not a race, it's a journey...




My Serrate Robin
12-30-15

Here we come from out of the cradle
It's the emotion that swings the sky
A robin of chestnut-red breast
Yet dentate yet serrate
In self seeking servitude
And edification to get it done
Another spark of inspiration notched on the edge
I have seen all the works under the sun
And behold all is vanity and striving after the wind
Jesus has this one
I will sleep good tonight...




My Stuff
12-30-15

Slow degrees on the dark horizon
That which is crooked ought to be made straight
That which is wanting cannot be made numbered
One hour and a half to spare
I pray that I will be able
Of inward character
Qualities and capabilities
You have the right stuff
Of narrow cleft and gorge
We thought we'd share it
I give my heart to know wisdom
Today was a cat eat dog scene
And no one really lost
Our small canyon and gluttonous meal
I strut my stuff....





On Ecclesiastes 1:18
12-30-15

Of gullet and throat
For a letter or a note
Two are enough to leave a thousand cuts
One bag at a time
My friend, mileage, use, wear and profit
Expenses at a fixed rate
A way to take us out of ourselves
Sometimes the Spirit is too strong for the flesh too weak
Meeting my Timotheus
He will tell me something
For in much wisdom is much grief
Our allowance for travelling
Jesus has got this one
Our concavity between two slow teeth
In our convexity beneath
No more caffeine, please....





at Lystra

At Lystra (To Derbe)
12-30-15

And thence they sailed to Antioch
Where the love tells another story
Forgiveness is the key to every lock
And there came a man at Lystra
Missing and out of reach
As waters pour down from a steep place
The Lord comes to Micah our Morasthite
Take a cigarette break
That's an order
Then came he to Derbe and found something new
Failing oft on previous trips
Sitting on his loft taking deeper sips
I was standing on a wreathe when the tide came in....




Out Of Egypt
12-30-15

Out of Egypt with a distant brother I never spoke to
O, sweet miracle
Victors and triumph
Hear O earth
Let the Lord be witness
Of transgressions and high places
So many familiar names and places
Writing in green and red
For the first time in about twenty years or more
In the days of Hezekiah we find for ourselves the Way
O, sweet miracle
Just to hear of it
I wasn't praying for magic
But hiding in plain sight
Waiting is half the fight
Out of Egypt
I pour down stones into the valley....




Bon Vivant
12-30-15

Rivers run to the sea
But such is never full
Floods come up upon the banks
And even for this we give God a million and one thanks
Unto the place where rivers come they return again
For mouths and delta dream of the voice in the wilderness
Vanity of vanities
Searching through lost altitudes
All things are full of labor
Man cannot utter it
Eye is not satisfied with seeing
As we begin to loathe the things we once loved
Another Bon Vivant finds what he is looking for
Lord I pray that I will be able....

agape

Agape
12-30-15

Love is of God
Everyone that loveth is born of God
To rule with such and not a rod
Why do we keep coming back
But for good coffee and sacred space to be a blessing
To those at work
Learn how to make a valley a well
Ask the clerk
Why are you asking me?
Main reason
To keep coming back is love
God's love reflects his character
Of which we don't find in human nature
Such is an act of our freewill
Times are tight
Out of touch with the weather
And the wind direction
But at least I'm here...




Call Him Pastor
12-30-15


The Holy Spirit allows us to have potential
For the sunrise and the latter phases of the moon
Darkness at high noon
So God loved us even before we have become
We can never break the chain
A gentle hand and a secret touch of the heart
Christ bled for the ungodly
Even when we were without strength
Call him Pastor
He is more than just a preacher
Where trouble can be your teacher
Out of synch with the rhythm of my own reaction
Purchasing the word in Perga
To go down into Attalia today....





On Micah 1:4-6
12-30-15

All level at the cross
Bedsheets removed
All is not lost
O, reflect and reveal
And of redemption spread this good news
Even when it hurts
No one better than anyone else
No such thing as new shirts
And the moon is a slender crescent
In the days of Jothan
And dark nights of Ahaz
Foraging to rise before the dawn
As the mountains are molten
And under him valleys be cleft
I've got four packs left
As wax before fire
And one to but inquire
I make Samaria as the head of field
And as plantings of the vineyard
And there they abode a long time with one another....





listeth

Listeth
12-30-15

Dream of a time without war
In a peaceable kingdom
Of laity the people
In gaity our steeple
Still testifying in due times
He became a man
so when you suffer he knows how you feel
Time to give Jesus a cigarette
That's utterly insane
Established on better promises
Of a clearing sky sometime this week
His Son born of a woman made under the law
Last night I eat my fish raw
Note to me
Start making lists of what you want
And see just what comes
Failing a hundred times before
Try again....




Roll Right Dice
12-30-15

Today no such turmoil
Join the ministry
This thought once scared me to death
And then brought me back to life
To roll the right dice and win big
Like a rat in a maze
Watch me choose my own direction
There's a light in the darkness
There's a love that is true
Writing poems to those whom today check in
Even for cider heads
Tails you win
Join the ministry
A corporate decision
It's not my fault
Comparing succession with procession
Dissimilarity
What is the meaning of this?





Love (Main Reason)
12-30-15

And the stars look down
As I have earned my crown
I can hear and almost see the similarities
Pens of Christmas colors
I don't know why
In old sessions smiting the rock
And fifty gallon tank
We feel the daze of uncertainty
Main man is down
I hope that someone will give him a song
Break, I pray now for his composure
That's how it is
Join the ministry
And pray for better weather
Learning how to make a valley a well
True or false
If you love the brethren
Then indeed you are!






"Wow, Man!"
12-30-15

Washed away like footprints in the rain
God, give him a break
I'm praying that he will make it through his day
If we love one another
The love of God dwells in us for many reasons
Cast bread upon the waters
For thou shall find it after many days
Give and you will receive
Why do we keep coming back
But to hear the sermon and pitch in
Not that we loved God
But that he loves us
Must needs go through Samaria
You pay it off and we'll send it to you
Take the trip
"Wow, man!"




dearth

Dearth In The Land (For Truth)
12-30-15

The time is Now again
Over and over, eternal
There might be dark songs written about the light
It satisfied my taste of hearing
Man at his best state is altogether vanity
The time is now again
O, can solitude signify austerity
Depression can be a friend with good advises to slow down
Next Tuesday I buy five more packs of smokes God willing
I could say that I am nothing
And I would be telling the truth
The time is now again....




One Go-Between
12-30-15

Like a ghost writer
I coin phrases from the sidelines
From the lowest low to the highest high
Pastoral epistle, a leadership manual
Read it again and find something of newfangled significance
My guide is the kinswoman so says Sister
For the majesty of God and only one go-between
Nothing to stop you now
And we'll have it made
Conscious nine hours so far already
Some crept in unawares
An escape artist racing against the light of day
An idol is nothing in the world
But something we can see
Come the eighteenth century higher criticism
Where three bear record in heaven....




On Hebrews 8:6 (dig this)
12-30-15

Father, Word and Holy Ghost are as One
For unconcealed truth and verily with all compassion and charity
Apostasy rushes in
No other God but One
Our rational view
All this time trying to understand it
Just the way that God has planned it
The talk of the peaceable kingdom
Incarnation O God in flesh
Can't explain it
Just believe it
Our mediator of a better covenant
Note to myself was to get back to the tracts
But now I have business cards to share all these words
To all willing to hear
And in heaven there is no fear....




abase and abound

Abase And Abound
12-30-15

A certain measure of righteousness
To practice such and never get bored
And to have as much coffee today as I can afford
Tomorrow is a no go
I've got things to take care of in my walk
In my closet twenty-five empty canisters
Of verily my unconcealed truth of the matter
With seeds to scatter
One God, One mediator
That is Jesus, a ransom for all
And when they were come they gathered
Another chance to score
But not like you would think
You float when you try to sink
Abase and abound....




Happiness Overrated
12-30-15

O, message and messenger do your thing
Note for later on
Take a break and pray
Even if it means lighting up one
It's alright to be happy today, of course
Dearth in the land for truth
Allowing today beard stubble
I caress it to stay out of trouble
Turn and turn again
Roll over and act alive
Hold your breath for the count of fifteen
And the light goes out
I rest my case and release my vanity
Where sorrow is better than mirth
Don't wander off too far
Ten out of a hundred on Sunday I give
Feeling unlimited
Eyes on the prize....

fifteen

My Fifteen Minute Wait
12-29-15

denying the truths of reality
To be politically correct
sorrow of heart is better than gladness
To be happy as our act and not by mistake
For love is something to be put into practice
Feel free to log all thoughts and feelings
To state your victories and all healings
Time to step out and wait for our Dodge
And smoke one more before I return
Yet to research social chaos
By my fifteen minute wait over my smoke...




Celebrate The Moment
12-30-15

Time to get studious in all lucubration
I use this word again to emphasize it
The Dead seems like a lost cause
So I turn on Lee, Lifeson and Pert
And never mind yesterday's hurt
And it came to pass in Iconium
We go both together into our synagogue
No need for stoicism
For tonight's wonderful prism
And apples at my computer screen
Trained to avoid the depressing
Though I celebrate the negative just as well
Time to get studious
Happiness comes not from denial
But in living with it
O, embrace these flaws in various slaws...






mooring

Mooring
12-29-15

Book two entitled straw
Is my parallel to book one called quota
O, hang on
Pray ye to the Lord for me my brother
O, arise and go south
And intentionally pray for the patience
For such engenders experience and then our hope
Think on these things my friend
And gather brick
Our act of the thing that moors
A source of stability
My anchored float to keep me from sinking
So is faith, so hold on to sustain and encourage
To rise by reason of lightness
Of such a yoke we take upon ourselves
Ambiguous....

tertiary

Tertiary (Exhumed)
2-1-16

Plowing into Colossians
Its theme: Christ's preeminence
I'm going to want to be there more and more now that I've started
For His seven superiorities
Reconciling the work for the Godhead Incarnate
Never mind the Chaplain
By the voice of him that cry
O my, O my
And every valley will be exalted
And every mountain will be made low
Stop here for awhile to watch and pray
By ones tertiary system
It is thrice again
Yet to exhume and disinter....





To Be Assumed
2-2-16

A mystery hidden during past ages
A history to which we are bidden
Like birds in cages
Deciding to keep my ass out of bed
Such is a good word when it comes to service
For earnest prayer and wise speech
Another sweet conclusion disinterred and exhumed
As such to be assured and the crooked be made straight
To burn ones fingers on the chrome
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Make straight in the desert a highway
In our Cenozoic we have it made....





Cenozoic
2-2-16

In our Cenozoic
All seems as stoic
Of the quaternary
Beyond the ordinary
Of foundation of modern continents
For sedimentary deposits in the sea our Cachalot
Pre-Adamite
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed
And all flesh will see it
O, take the corner and join the crash
What shall I cry
The grass withers and the flower fades
Surely the people is as grass....





Persnickety
2-2-16

All boldness is as the flower of the field
For Pre-Adamite phenomena
Satan knows my soft spot
Lighting up before the light of day
Give me fire and my desire
All flesh is as grass
May it be persnickety and overparticular
And fastidious
Where the holiday sun sets behind your back
Difficult to please
Being as primogeniture
Sell not your birthright
Today I will love my neighbor
And say a prayer for him...





accede

Accede
2-1-16

Hath revived, hast flourished
Not connived, well nourished
O, how it happens in the end
No more than but an outcome
Hear the Word of the Lord of hosts
Nightmares were sweet as the dreamer boasts
For we accede and give our consent
Roger and out
So much money spent
All but to look upon it
A party to an agreement on twenty for two
Cameos overlooked
Caption reads confront my people
O, speak ye comfortably
And let love reign in your minds today
Good buddy
In knowing the secret
Of the peace of God...




Comfort ye
2-1-16

Of virtue, of excellence
The believers' sufficiency
The list will suffice
Almost forgot the vitamins
That her warfare is accomplished  like my mission
Have I gone too far
Pills hard to swallow
Yet all things are possible in the great I Am
For she receives of the Lord's hand triple for all benevolence
Due in me and you for the presence of the God of peace in your left shoe
Tomorrow is another glorious daybreak feast
He said moreover for there shall be peace and truth in my days
And now that I seek the gift as well as the fruit
Abounding to your account indeed I am....





ointment

Ointment
2-1-16

To make ones own heaven
Our waking of reason
I sing now this season
For silver, gold and precious ointment
And spices
And beautiful sacrifices
What saith these men
And all found in such treasures
Easy for one to say when the lightning spares your land
By God's hand come the body of lowliness
I implore Eurodian
Waking to the power from and among
The start of another hour
And all the house of his armor
What saith these men
Time for one more fix...




Left Ahead
2-1-16

O, help me chew me some
O, scatter your pumpernickel to the starving gulls
Come the believers' sufficiency
Yes, this will suffice as well
As in all of his dominion of fried rice
If only you knew
You can, me
When I was dreaming you into my life
Come the extent of union
Today all I need do is enjoy my writings
For law observances abolished in Christ
If only you knew how you caught me when I was falling fast
Behold the days come that all that is in thine house will be left ahead....






On Philippians 4:18 (dig this)
2-1-16

Hear ye the Word of Lord of hosts
Everybody wants some
In the wonders that we search
Christ, the groom
And the spouse, the church
And of thy song that shall issue
Will have no such need of a tissue
Nothing shall be left
No stone upon another
As the singing has become written for the mountains
Time to put in that last load at eleven eleven
It's time to make that grocery list
For another clean win
Of thy sons that shall issue from thee
Indeed I have all and abound....





irreantum

Irreartum
2-1-16

Praying for your joy
Stealing moments by the twilight crescent moon
We still take it all for granted
Pushing the cat off my Schofield bible
I open the book and raise the pen
To reinvent, to ascend
Isaiah chapter thirty-nine
Only eight verses
Our irreantum of many waters
In adventurous times
At that time Merodach-Baladan sends letters....




"Save Me!"
2-1-16

The power to transcend
And to see past the cages
Of the light of the ages
Concerning zeal
I turn back the pages at half past eight
I put in my last load
Previous for my Merodach-Baladan
I will make it through this day
O, what is the sign
All I know is that I am weary
Ready to abide in the vine
Stop here for awhile and watch and pray
For all neighbors
So we may enter the rest from all labors
As the Lord is ready to save me
Such a prayer brief yet profound
Save me!





Expectation (Plaister)
2-1-16

It's easy for you to say
Ascending to the secrets clear to resolve
Let us take a lump of figs
Yes, I see only victory
O, lay it for a plaister upon the boil
By Christ, the object of our expectation
Truth is a simple place here for us all to see
No compromise for the sake of unity
Peace is a word we teach
Our exhortation to be of same mind
O, what saith these men but to mention our state of grace
It will be a good day
Leading the way
Hope is my pay in astounding winter skies
They are from a far country as sure as I am....

on the Boyne

On The Boyne
2-1-16

Back to battle with the laundry machines
For when the moon is a counterfeit
She says I'm not as sorry as I should be
In my battle of my Boyne
The armies fled to France
As I reckoned till morning
Getting a good head start
Expecting another little victory
That as a lion so he will break all my bones
Where the road is full of nails
Our citizenship is in heaven
For which we eagerly wait
To love and not hate
To destroy and recreate...




Our Appeal
2-1-16

Our appeal for unity among us all
I step out for another square
I reckon till morning and the case is closed
With my brother off the grid
In a grotto he hid like a swallow
Like a crane yet to wallow
In dreams of cocaine
As a dove mine eyes fail
With looking upward inscribed in our minds
What shall I say?
I shall go softly
All my years in this bitterness
I did mourn as a dove...





All Seek Their Own
2-1-16

Whose end is destruction
Whose god is their belly
Even to subdue all things unto himself
What shall I say?
He spake unto me and himself
O, Lord by these things men live
She says I'm not as sorry as I ought to be
Chewing dry meat in a house of disrepute
The living, the living he shall praise thee
Casting sins behind my back
In losses and wins
And a new plan of attack
For the grave cannot praise thee
And death will not tolerate it any longer
For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me
And I expect a victory....






On Isaiah 38:19
2-1-16

Trying to wake up the right way
For a newfound freedom at the chime of seven
I paint upon my face a smile
Therefore let us as many as so are for the grave
Cannot praise thee but thou has the love for my soul
Deliver it from the pit of corruption
The living, O the living
As I do this day
We praise Him on high
The father to the children shall make known the truth
And I comb my hair till it's just right
It's here that I begin again...




pactolus

Pactolus
2-1-16

O, flaming fantastic
I leave myself behind
But not quite as drastic
Swollen and distended
Grandiloquent in being suspended
Bloated and very much outvoted
In superabundance and in excess
Let another carousel begin
Another warning against legalizers
Stop here for awhile and watch and pray
Caught purple handed
Getting a load of the hour of six
Untouched, unglued
Alone at last
O, Pactolus where is your passion...




Cohune
2-1-16

Behold, I bring again the shadow
Where the drain is drawn
And by seven I will be gone
I said this in the cutting off of your days
I shall go to the gates of my grave
Condemned down to the enamel
Beholding man no more
With the inhabitant of the world
Seemingly an evil place
More sugar, I cannot forget
Come the writing of Hezekiah
When he has been sick
Never mind my Munich
If I ever find my sandwich
Yet to see my coiffeur
And call it a morning
Loving my cohune
Cautious....









cycloid

Cycloid (Readymade)
2-1-16

Sitting behind bars
Trying to learn good ettiquate
Forgetting how to spare the way I smell
Go and tell them of the God of David
Saying, "I have heard your prayer"
Today I choose not to fluster over passing muster
By memories of Buster
Cycloid and sometimes paranoid plethoric
As God's word does not return void
O, sissyneck
Say to me what the heck
Yet another grebe
Swimming and diving and surviving
The good times are passed out cold
Circumcised on the eighth day
I am not responsible....




Curvicue
2-1-16

My bags are waiting in the next life
In all Cyclothymia
O, where am I
O, who am I!
And this will be a sign unto thee
That the Lord will do his thing
Counting layers, seeking players
To do this thing He has spoken
Yet plethoric O, Dactolus
In superabundance and excess
Time for a clean shave
A note to the me of later on
Tell me something I already know
Finally my brethren
For me to write to thee is safe
As such is tedious
O, Curvicue
I still love you....




Moidores
2-1-16

Moidores in a pocket with holes
Apple heaven tonight
For the cause of souls
Let's turn this thing around
Just to get started
For territory uncharted
I send to you Epaphroditus
Let the deadbeats pound all around
For perfect times
O, Surtout where is you surety
Nowhere we know
For hand me downs stuck together
Turgid and complex in style
Let the rays catch the razor
That's folk to me and Greek to you
As praises get spent....

ternary

Ternary
2-1-16

My destination is the middle of the road
Then Hezekiah turned his face
And I go to battle in my bathroom thrice again
For tern and schooner not later, not sooner
A set of three and a fresh change of socks
He was sick and nigh unto death
I cut the wick and tell a lie about holding my breath
Come robbery known as a thing to be held onto
Members only
But here we have no such custom
When all get lonely....




Thank You And Goodnight
2-1-16

Of Christ our humiliation and exaltation
The lights turn low for Jamboree handouts
Thank you and goodnight
O, grandissnus where is your gladness
Nostalgic deodorant smell on my right index finger
Almost thirty years ago to this day
I'm getting old
Behold I and unto thy days another eon
By the apostolic example
Even when I might not feel that way today
In feeling the force and letting nature take its course
Find it not odd when you see it
Thank you and goodnight...





at two, on two

At Two, On Two
2-1-16

Your secret is safe with me
So was the whisper in the other side of my mind
Accompanied in old cleanliness
Alone in the new pollution
By the way that we came
My cat jumps up to reshuffle my priorities
For I will defend this city to save it for my own
Easier said than done
He shall not shoot the arrow there nor come before it
Lord of the Rings art thou
Don't tell me that it's all been in vain
The saxophone sounds like a distant brother
For a hundred and fourscore and five thousand
It's a good thing
At two, on two....



Claret
2-1-16

O, Claret
Will you want a shadow
Our wooden dwelling
Wouldn't it be my share
To think I was any better with a sloping roof
You say it's deep but the water is only up to my ankles
Referring to my horse in accord with prescribed rules
In stone age old schools
Pretty funky
God show me victory
Today and tomorrow
In other Alpine regions in Switzerland
All liegons and the grandeur of David's courage...





Chaldron
2-1-16

Hearing the similarities
Between Radiohead and Beck
As one to say, O what the heck
According to my Hoyle another beautiful wreck
O, sweet sixteen
It has been drifting along
In the same old stale sandals and old socks for our chaldron
Of thirty-two
Business for coal and grain
You can count on it to be to us insane
As Sennacherib so departed
To return and dwell at Nineveh
Another one for Adrammelech
To yet reign in my stead
Alive and as well quite dead....




Sounds Like Vinyl
2-1-16

Tearing the noose at the back of my mind
Yeah, it's only juice
And such I more than kind
Cruel but fair for gruel in my hair
For my Esarhaddon and try
Works an old friend says to give it up
According to my grandissmus
To remove and repose
To get into the groove on how God knows
In out ternary
Sometimes I wish that I never saw your face
For exhortation to meekness and unity
If there remains any consolation in Christ
So let it be
Sounds like vinyl....

pilfering pesitas

Pilfering Pesitas
2-1-16

Pilfering pesitas out of my soul
Where all is well  because I say so
For I know thy coming out and going in
And they rage against me still they were dismayed and confounded
And today I rock on to it
Down the Alamo lakes
Because they rage against me
And this shall be a sign
To not base your day on how you feel when you wake up
For Paul's deliverance and expectation
No one could go by
Taking for granted
What the Lord has laid on my ceiling....





Another Salutation
2-1-16

O, bid me to these fine oceans
The ones that I can remember
For the remnant that escaped of the house
Taking root in the second year that which springeth the same
Where I shed a tear like it were some kind of game
O, Titanic fare thee well
You shall eat this year such as which grow of itself
I have a right to this place just as well as the rest
Where the new age gets old enough to dream
And this shall be a sign unto thee...





...Nor Cast A Bank...
2-1-16

of lilywhite Calvary crazes again
Taking root downward
This time I was able to transmute
And interpret that will make no such common sense
Let another carousel begin
For out of Vera Salem shall go forth a remnant
And I still take it for granted
The zeal of thine house shall do this
By the way that he came
By the same he return
For I will defend this city
And pretend that it's pretty
To fill the saints at Philippi
And joy triumphing over suffering
I will survive
Ambiguous....



praetorium

Praetorium
1-29-16

Come the outworking of salvation
And the ever perking of my salvation
On our swift Malayan sailboat
Soon I will be on board
The daughter of Zion hath despised thee
And laughed thee to scorn
Whom thou hath thou reproached and blasphemed
I have dug and drunk water
I am come up to the weight of the mountains
And to the sides of Lebanon
And I cut down choice cedars and tall firs
In joy triumphing over suffering
I have dug and drunk water
And I know thy abode
I'm going to go home and just peace...





Another Introduction
2-1-16

Hast thou not heard long ago
Everywhere I look there's a dead end lane
All for the explanation of Jesus
It's very much insane all in a good way in a glass, stone and wood way
Where heads are hanging from our garbage man trees
Therefore for inhabitants were of small power
And of a tall tower
It was another good one
It still is
Hath not thou heard long ago
Of coughing up phlegm to swallow it back down
Dragging my heels till the day is done
In its experimental stages and I know my abode...



steadiness

Steadiness
1-29-16

Plowing into Philippians
Its theme: Christian experience
A short letter written with virtue and excellence
Come preparation and readiness
Come steadiness
Written in Rome
O, save us from his hand
And pray for peace even when you don't understand
That all the kingdoms of earth may know
That every believer will thrive and grow
Stop here for awhile and watch and pray
Slept in till about a quarter till noon
Oft refreshed
Ambiguous
O, save us from his hand
And appeal for unity...



Piste
1-29-16

Charles Marsh not listed
Don't mean to be clench fisted
It's hard to row with the weight of gold
For our rowel and sharp toothed wheel
Forty-five minutes and I'll be reunited with Mother
This is a word spoken out of turn
Yet to board my prop soon for kentledge and ballast
I want to make this one last
On my piste
On my ski trail
O, Stazione where is your stamina
The language is a primary element
And the static is tantamount
Come the secret of the peace of God
Conclusion: Grace be to all...




quean

Quean
1-29-16

His news is carried for me and you
To put to good use
Now this, he ascended
Initial it with loving care
That he might fill all things
As Christ loves the church
For training and discipline
Clad in the warriors' armor
The warfare of Spirit filled believers
Incline thine ear, O Lord and open thine eyes
And see and hear the words of Sennacherib
Turning our head to stay so satisfied
This morning I don't get too far ahead of myself
In the walk and the believer
As God's dear child...




Kosmokratores
1-29-16

Be angry and sin not
There was something I almost forgot
Thankful for a clear path
Redeeming the time
Because the days are wicked
Not with eyeservice nor as menpleasers
All in preparation for readiness
Soon it will be time to venture northwest
Rocking the boat and skinning the goat
Summertime is coming sooner than we think
Given plenty of coffee this morning to drink
Above all taking upon us the shield of faith
For dreams of my childhood roller rink
As the warrior's resource
Looking for my Mantena
A pioneer in its renaissance style
Casting our gods into the fire
To but test them.....

alpinism

Alpinism
1-29-16

Till we all come to the unity of the faith and knowledge
Of the Son of God
Therefore putting away lying
He is come forth to make war with thee
On the six inch battlefield between your temples
As he sends messengers clad in Alpini hats come out also ran the horse
The loser in the connection but the winner in that he tried
O, shall they be delivered in Alpinism and climbing higher
Take your time
Think it through
Come the walk of the believer
And a new man in Christ....




On Ephesians 3:13
1-29-16

O, man regenerate
Be renewed in the spirit of your mind
Now this, he ascended
You can color your heart also
Man for the kingdom of Ardinad
And the king of the city of Sepharlaim
By the prayer for apprehension
How dare say of assumed wall locations
Caesar's palace was the meeting place
For the equipping of the Saints
And the enabling of those that are having our understanding darkened
Putting off concerning your former conduct
O, silly human race, it seems to be
O, man regenerate
Delivered as Gozan
Go there and see it....




Quay
1-29-16

Battleships confide
Cold feet and hips
O, my pride
Have the gods of the nations delivered them
Which my fathers have destroyed
Time to set the bags out and get ready to go
For proud sons and daughters
And sheep to the slaughters
Giving some to be apostles
Some prophets, some evangelists
And some just to lend a helping hand
Until we all come to the unity
And at last come to understand
As Haran and as Rezeph at Telassar
Of wharf and quay
Reelecting Quayle
In a crazy dream of going there again
Knit together by joint supplies
As ye have learned Christ.....





to the harbor

To The Harbor
1-29-16

West of Mount Pion
Our theatre I dream of
Got a wake up call from Pa
Two miles east to the harbor
Now I'm awake and alive
From the gunwale I get with grace and glory
Behold I send report and we shall hear a rumor
And return to our own homeland
To fill my cannikin
And drink from the cup of paradise
With precipitancy
A walk worthy of higher position
Coffee is served...



On Isaiah 37:8
1-29-16

So Rabshakeh returns
And the bible scholar learns
Finding the king of Assyria
Warring against Libnah
For he has heard that he has departed from Lachish
To make one more wish
And to devour another can of fish
The world with its wings all around me
The gifts of the Risen Christ and their purpose
When he ascended on high
He led captivity captive
And love comes to you
Dream on for seven unities
To be kept today
I must say I overslept...





Precipitant
1-29-16

Come the believer and his service and walk
If they call you up be willing to talk
With all lowliness and gentleness with longsuffering
Buying by bark touch west into moist Coressus
As we hear concerning Tirhakah
He is gone forth to make war with thee
The plan is set
I have Hobbit motives with my Sister
Tomorrow night bearing with one another in love
That we should be no longer children tossed to and fro
Carried about with every wind of doctrine
I am awake at last...




guandia

Guardia
1-29-16

Straight into sleep
Our sure and sweet segue
To flatline ones fortune
Spent on the music through my Stoner years
To veer and breach breadline to the wind
To bring up the subject for discussion and demure
For more of the same
White-caps
We pretend the danger is not real
By a temple for a habitation
O, what a surprise
Now called as fellow citizens
With the Saints to make all see
What is this fellowship
O, Guardia
Where is your gladness
Through a veil of sadness....




Death By Chipotle
1-29-16

There will be more later
If the good Lord is willing
At the chime of six I need reheat my coffee cup
Yet chilling
Who are they among all the gods of the hands
To better our odds by the washing of hands
Out of obscurity into the dream
They hold their peace and answer us not a word
Where prayer and meditation doth not cease
Telling us the words of Rabshakeh
Then comes Eliakim over the house
For Christ the groom and we, the spouse
death by chipotle
Makes a believer out of you and me...





Open Latticework
1-29-16

Making us alive together
And to sit together in heavenly places
Not one to say to be under the weather
Over the household of Shebna the scribe and all familiar faces
Hearing in that he rent his vestures
Three years later, chapter thirty-seven
This night be a day of trouble
So I don't feel alone on the weight of the stone
For crisscross latticework
And yesterday's good success
Of trouble and rebuke
And a map of Ephesus in the time of Apostle Paul
A walk worthy of high position...





Not So Fast
1-29-16

Who are you and who am I
To report to the Agora
And take that road from the theatre
To the temple of Artemis
I almost got caught is her net as a fish with a wish
To be taken up
For ones spring-head trellised
It will be that God will hear us even in languor
Come the etymology of linguistics
From seeking out our dresser
And doing a few more posts before I hit the road
Shown by determining its basic elements
Water up to the gunnel
Behold I will lend a blast
But not so fast...




verst

Verst
1-29-16

Of retro page
Like a bird in her cage
She wants a cracker
And I have a whole box of verse left
Seeing is not always belief
Of parsonage and rectory
For makeweight and counterbalance
Another parson for make-work
Keeping me from being idle in just this
Everything's done under the sun
Walking in a brother's shoes the extra verst
Of Russian measure of linear distance given our vent
We have time right to cut it down....





Epistolary (A Rock Once A Stone)
1-29-16

By diesel we contribute
Running in after the ignition is started off
Driven down by the rock once a stone
Cephas becomes Peter
Israel becomes Jacob
And God is in the business of changing names
As when on open throttle
Supplying fuel to the honest engine
For we are His workmanship
No longer foreigners or strangers
For epistle and archritrave of combative scope and range
I cuddle up with you to cope
And it is far from strange
Epistolary
Ambiguous....




Empirical
1-29-16

Of purview extent
And range of function power
And competence scope and range
Our experience and our outlook
To yet flatline the faith by fortune and fate be fame
Lest Hezekiah persuade you
Saying the Lord will deliver us for empiricism
And existential
You know you feel abused
I write until it's time to go
O, where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad
We come to see that it's not that bad
To deliver Samaria out of my hand
Time for that bath...





abrade

Abrade
1-28-16

Position by Gentiles by nature in flesh
By the method of salvation and fruit fresh
Chasing some exotic bird
Looking for something I never heard
Another show that you might know the hope of his calling
Spring will come but so will obligations to clean up this place
Yet to be excoriated for my own best interests
You make me feel so free
Stepping out for the flood-gates
You beat me to the punch
O, sweet mystery...




Abdicate
1-29-16

Wouldn't it be my luck
He puts all things under his feet
As we abdicate all ambitions to excoriate and censure strongly
At the flood-gates
Renouncing the seven things God hates
Love lingers as God's grace waits
For dispensation and stewardship
In ages and their generations
To zigzag away through the boredom and pain
This I do not know quite as often
Until I come and take you away
So a land like your own will prosper
Glancing up through the rain
In a land like your own
Lord, may the bible scholar understand
Wouldn't it be my blessing....




Makeshift
1-29-16

Eat ye everyone of his vine
And everyone of his fig tree
Make your agreement with me by a gift
And choose to work the graveyard shift
This here will be my work in a land of corn and wine
And a land of vineyards and bread
O, so much alive yet dead
Hearken not to Hezekiah
Another makeshift
In six hours I get my lift
Of temporary and experimental substitutes
At your stopgap
Feeling my duhkka at five on the dot
Not of works lest anyone should boast....





aymo

Aymo
1-28-16

Hath he not sent me
To the men that sit upon the wall
Just before the dawn when the moon begins to fall
Not yet a crescent
Christ is exalted as the head of the body
To put all things under his feet
In memories of you
Hear ye the words of this great King
O, Aymo
O, Aran
Our Muslim summons of trouble and rebuke
Not of youselves
It is a gift of God
Come the church
A mystery hidden from past ages
I find my sanctuary in the Lord
And we can always return to His good Word
O, Aymo, do you know a new alliteration...




Paregoric
1-28-16

My prayer for knowledge
And power to blog yet one more hour
He shall be able to deliver you
You've got to live now and sing the rain away
To curry and groom another flurry for Bremen oil
But no such tomb
It's a love paregoric in perennial confusion
You work in the dark for Bremen on the Weser
We go fishing
Jesus has got this
To but camphorate all love and hate
Stepping out....




Quahogs
1-28-16

Get you quahogs
At the all you can eat seafood buffet
Those were great times
Giving me much more to say
As the hour rolls around
But not all about the chimes
And for every man and from shore to shore
Taking up my Quaich for the freedom song
To board our tilbury
Yeah, get your mussels and clams
So when you read you might understand it
Putting to death the enmity among the rolling hills
Come the church a temple for the habitation
Of God through the Spirit
Stepping out
Ticklish, ambiguous....




ehrenburg

Eh, Ehrenburg
1-28-16

Vitally united with him
By baptism of the Spirit
Adinal songs and Egyptology
The study of such artifacts
But what does this have to do with anything
And I come upon the enchanted veil
resume, O writer
The worst of it is taken care of
For Avalon of the heart
Looking for Ehrenburg
Let amid the renaissance regime of Joseph Stalin
Events of dimness caused and permitted
I'm going to make a brand new start...




By Grace You Have Been Saved
1-28-16

To mark out and determine beforehand
To predestine where the dear savior gives his all
O, see us through the winter one day at a time
Come summary of spiritual death
We trusted and hoped that we could prevent it in delivering
Exalted by the head of the body
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain
See me through
I give you two thousand horses
If ye be able to put riders upon them
For basso-relieve
Yes I believe
For basso-profundo
My friend is lonesome
So I talk with him for awhile  when he calls....





Basso-Profundo
1-28-16

Do I eat my own words
O, a little note to me
Don't bother in trying to martyr yourself to caution
And keep those Van the Man records playing
For we are his workmanship
Created for good works
Sitting in basso-profundo
At two hours before the daylight
I take off the lampshade
In all ages and generations
She's the one
Hath not my master sent me
To thee to speak these words...

alsatian

Alsatian
1-28-16

In Alsace of East France
In your face another belly dance
Where the story teller speaks
Much is revealed
New therefore gone
Pledges and polish off rough edges
To my master Assyrian's king
To thee I dance and sing
And another Alsatian goes hunting
Sailor coming out again
That's how it stands today
For he who sows to his flesh reap corruption
The new life as a beneficience
As we have opportunity
Let us do good to all....




Millrace
1-28-16

Plowing into Ephesians
Its theme: the church
Christ's body
The ear hath need of the foot
Come true believers' standing in grace
In the heavenlies our prayer of knowledge and power
And soon another snow shower
I hope we have seen the worst of it
Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain
For dispensation and stewardship
If he calls again talk to him
For the summary of adoption and nonattachment
According to the good pleasure of his will
Wake up!






The Day I Felt Exalted
1-28-16

Which he purposed in himself
The mystery of his will
It's up to you
The way we think
Fog horns blowing in the night
Another millstone that serves as my milestone
For Old English and Black Letter
The radiance on your face
The mill-run of the unexpected
Seeking out Melancthon
Our leader of German reformation
And the heritage of my spiritual grandfather
Down at the coffee house and another Champollion
Relax your mind and let these words flow, O so effortlessly
Blessed be the God and father of our Lord
Jesus Christ sailing for some other shore
Where we can be what we want to be....

branch

Abiding In The Vine (Branch)
1-28-16

I know I'm going to shine
Abiding in the vine of grapes for wine
Don't worry about me
I'm in no hurry
It is not He whose high places
And altars Hezekiah took away
Fire wheel burning in the air
Fun stuff
Two more cavities filled
Brandy distilled
Yet coffee is served
Lo, trust in the staff of his broken reed
Whereupon if a man lean
It will pierce it
Another sweet beginning
And more large letters
Still in shackles and fetters
I say, say thou
But they are but vain words.....




Choucroute
1-28-16

Officially still a smoker
Not an identity
Just a label
Like a stock broker
Ye shall worship before the altar
Pressed from apples and grapes
All my CD's and tapes
The world around us quiets
It has to be today
Otherwise tomorrow I will know of confusion
And another choucroute
No one is forsaken in such a taste
So enjoy it in that haste makes waste
Of sausage, pork and juniper berries
Four winds and rising suns and number ones
The new life as a beneficience
Jesus has got this one..






treat of tax

Treat Of Tax
1-19-09

Some say that Obama is the antichrist
If this is so
So be it and so what
We owe a debt of gratitude
For the man that invented bread sliced
The average American wants his tax cut
People that make this much money ought not complain
The sky is soon condensed
May as well let fall the freezing rain
It is what it is
So my former boss used to say
The skies are dark yet I still consider it day...




Freethinker
1-19-09

Proud of the scar my cat made upon my upper lip
I am blunt over nachos at my table
I still double dip
Disrespecting all conventional rules
Much yet to learn from both old and new schools
We can utter obscenities in our English class
If by it we can prove a point
We can mess around in woodshop
As by trial and error we learn to build our rabbet joint
Teacher was deaf from a lifetime of working with machines
The playwright omitted the undesirable scenes.....





Gift Of Music
1-19-09

We confront the tiff and huff
As such a quarrel is appeased by a catchy organ riff
Music is a gift
Next to eating it is the best
Gives me boldness to stick it out on my shift
May us consult the quarter note and the half rest
Wine is conducive for taking it all in
We see the benefits to partake
We make excuses for our sin
Fire and ice
It is naughty and nice
Even the bad kids ought to get a present from Santa
When all fall short from the glory....




Life Is More Than Making A Living
1-19-09

May us learn the lesson of giving
But we must learn how to receive just as well
We need to learn to exist and not just make a living
May us lay down our lives
To give God thanks for letting us live to tell
Hippies and brothers are yet to be met along the way
As only by a pretense and our façade do we ourselves betray
A made a new friend
A lady invites me to her place for dinner
No one is exempt from unwholesome thoughts
Every soul is a dirty rotten sinner...





mad about it

Mad About It
1-19-09

A conflagration rages out of control
A madman's zeal must be properly restrained
Enthusiasm is like gasoline for the soul
And in speaking up about it
There is much to be gained
There is a forest fire and a grove of my heart and mind
Sometimes conditions are contrary so that its results might be kind
May us look for the end
Also known as the outcome
May the differences in you and I
Be greater than the similarity of the sum....



The Savant
1-19-09

Those that have attributes have much to give
As by and by the Savant will be the servant
Mingle love wherein you might laugh and live
May your joy in your brothers be free spoken of and fervent
The genius will be as the marmalade jam
The musician now and then will declare "I Am"
But what do you have that you did not receive
What maketh you to differ
You're still just a dog with sticks tossed to retrieve
We are humbled so that we can grow
It's no longer about how much you know...





A Shilling For My Bail
1-19-09

I dreamed of living in the nineteenth century sitting in jail
When a perfect stranger would pay me a shilling for my bail
Getting in trouble again can be habit forming
One breaks away from the flock to say **** conforming
If you don't like it then by all means don't read
Just the same I lay my life down as a poet glad to bleed
I dreamed that the Angel got me past the guards
Felt unworthy and quite ashamed to have a fortune in my hand of cards....

steak

Steak And/or Fish
1-19-09

The Bible is an all you can eat buffet
It matters not what order
Wherein you devour your seven courses of you meal
The meat of the Word is like a steak
And sometimes as a tilapia fillet
These are words to read
To make one true and real
I bring in the holiday of the Inauguration
Some say it is just as important as Christmas
I'll get up at noon to catch Barak's speech
Excited about change
A garden is fertilized by a rotten peach
But it's all good...




Back To James
1-19-09

randomly and spontaneously
I flip over to the epistle of James  
Finding peace, comfort and hope in past tense familiar faces and names
The joy of remembrance is in my mind, a true token
Art is made from discarded structures that only seem to be broken
We bear the burning burden and cold calamity of confusion
Our focus is on the predicament
But this is folly and illusion
Think on good things
And you will do much better....




memories

Memories Of A.M.
7-6-09

Early start again
Hallelijiah, hooray, hosanna
My main tool is my pen
A conduit and a sluice to recollections of Mistress Anna
She left me for a dude who was six foot four
So I got mad and called her a whore
By my own conscious choice
I forgive all who have done me ill
As love is by one's heart and not by skill
I'm clean again
I feel so much better now....




I Pray For The Power To Work
7-6-09

Time to prove it all night once again
I make the best of the time that remains
Before once more I face my lion's den
Seem to acquire split personalities
Of the prophets and apostles
As in a spiritual sense I still seek out dinosaur fossils
They took the bones to determine the appearance of their exterior
As it is of a truth that no creature is inferior
Time to prove it all night once more
I bring in the full moon to obtain my ammunition
For when I return to my store...

after ten

Only Water After Ten
7-5-09

We yet come to terms with batteries and assaults
As we blame the earthquakes on the land and its faults
I don't know who I am or even who I was
But I keep on going just because
Only water after ten
Where I give God praise for my pen
The killing of the past is coming back to life
As I am given encouragement
To take up again my knife...




To See The Contrast
7-5-09

We yet see the difference
Between a father and a feather
As we yet perceive the distinction
Between hatred and the heather
We consider the contrast of green and purple leaves
As the victor so rejoices
As he who is defeated yet grieves
No drink after ten
Only tobacco, water and the pen
My two cats yet combat for my attention
As all desire is put on hold and in suspension
I find I can make due in all denial...



shot

Shot Seven Times
7-5-09

Shot seven times
But still I get back up
Supply is depleted
But still I find full to be my cup
After ten o clock it's nothing more than water
As we wait till midsummer
To catch the last movie of Harry Potter
I starve for connection
I try to ward off the morning erection
I'm satisfied with decency
Striving no longer for perfection
But it's alright now that so falls is the night....





Hostility Therefore Peace
7-5-09

There was a hostility between the English and French
As there will be both defeat and ability with the stink of a rising stench
As there will be peace with the Scottish and Welch
As far as I know anyone can be anything
A man thinks he is doomed
Yet he endures death's sting
There is a threat between Afganistan and us
Like a blister that emits all fluid and pus
What can we do but yet endure...



Fat Cat, Thin Man
7-5-09

My younger cat needs to go on a serious diet
As my younger self still listens to Ratt and Quiet Riot
I drink the red stuff and I can never get enough
I know I am weak even when I claim to be tough
I bow to those who think they've been through it all
As I am still subject to my mask and to my wall
I know not where I am going to
But I am glad of opportunities of what I'm going through....





prejudice

The Prejudice Remains
7-5-09

A man can get sick
Yet he is not gone
Taking up the language of the click, click
Still he says he'll walk to the light of dawn
All by faith
So I say I'm satisfied
He says he has it together
But once more he lied
Can't expect a child to understand
The things that are written on his left hand
Left or right, so make your choice
Taking a risk to drive around ones Rolls Royce....




Dreams Of The Banana Republic
7-5-09

Once I had an idea and a clue
But such I forgot when I tries listening to you
K.H.Y. still appears on the veins of my left hand
God cannot expect me to understand
Drink impairs ones judgment
To be a role model to he that follows
Born with a pen in ones hand
Is the philosophy that the amateur poet swallows
Seems that zero does not exist
Compared to the eternity of one willing to enlist....




Biting Stage
7-5-09

The word is taken away before it is spoken
Damn the mirage as it seems to be the token
The kryptonite comes in the form of doubt
As one goes to a diner to order up the broiled trout
Ignorance is bliss and bliss is peace
As we are told to persist and to not cease
If we give up our life today
Then what will yet come
As the gamble is the chance we take
By the beating of the drum...




Honey In His Own Jar
7-5-09

Perhaps, so he says
Given a second chance
Content with the learning
When he can't find the romance
Browning in the honey in his own jar
According to a song
He blows out his mind in a car
A man reaches out
He cannot compare the perch with the trout
Ten o clock is the deadline
Glucose test tomorrow
Means no more wine....




postexilic

Postexilic
1-1-16

Our Darius
Our Cambysol
He said it was no longer about fancy words
The people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy
From that of weeping
Today I am given a new spiritual understanding of this
Those twenty and up oversee the work of the house
And more free coffee of Christ the groom and we, the spouse
For drachmas and minas
Our silver and gold
I took it all for granted
For soon I must take down all of my lights
Of a sound heard afar off
Our Nethinim
Still will stand their ground...




Every Last Drop
1-1-16

Paul and Silas beaten
As apples and pears are eaten
For Urim and Thummim in Tishri, Lyyar and Ziv
It's much too early but I'll live
Stop here for awhile and watch and pray
Overexposure to my idols of my Stony days
I wait for a call on my phone
So that I can get on with it
For lights and reflections
And stones of the breastplate
I'm up for the day
Whom Jehovah has appointed
Nebo protect the landmark...





Hodaviah

Hodaviah
1-1-16

Come another parenthetic explanation
Referring to later periods
I read my book from back to front
As if spiritually dyslexic
For the benefit of all belief
Our Haggai whom is festive
And heavy stones of rolling
As bells are tolling
By which the temple is being built
For our Judah by way of Hodaviah
Aramaic is spoken by those curious
And Satan is furious
Remind him of his future
To embark upon a better study today...




Bizarre
1-1-16

My works here turn to the bizarre
And I thank my God that I don't own a car
Even if I break the clip of my pen
I can bask in the light of the Day Star
As Barnabas and Mark go up to Cyprus
All for our Eunice
Not to puff oneself up
But to sow the seeds on the wayside
And let them blow and scatter in what we know
That indeed will matter
Where prayer is made
Where we suppose there was a place for such
My words here turn to the bizarre...




spewing

Spewing
1-1-16

No such stagnation
Of lukewarm spewing
Has thy soul loathed Zion removing
Is there no healing for us
Three more hours and then I can get on with it
We look for peace and find a world of good
O, come let us bring it back
The core can continue
The snow flurries that stand still at daybreak
My inner voice says, you, the man
If I enter into the city
Faith will be my only plan
Judah and Silas go to Antioch
Paul and Silas depart to just say thou art....




South Of Cenchrea
1-1-16

Why hast thou tricked us
And there is much healing
A pen that has written us
As the thought so stem the feeling
Do not abhor us
Put to the sword are those that adore us
Set the controls though Moses and Samuel stood before us
O, can the heavens give showers
Where in purity are powers
Do not disgrace the throne of thy glory
Or his second journey
He did not visit Crete
Our Roman colony
Where we get something good to eat
O, are there any among the vanities  that can cause rain....





Let Stand Ten Minutes To Cool It Off
1-1-16

On Sunday I remember the lesson of giving my last fifteen
To represent the year before
Wait for dawn and dawn shall come
Therefore we wait upon thee
And go on praying for patience
Get the trial and be made stronger
Engendering experience
Provoking hope making one not ashamed
O, whither shall we go forth
But to again on Tuesday go north
Where we are all still growing it....

trecento

Trecento
1-1-16

Prophets prophesy lies so to say this is negative
But it is as it is
To celebrate such would be wise
And the deception of our hearts that mislead us
And I will give you lasting peace fulfilled
Behold the prophets say unto them
You shall not see the sword
Some have troubled you with words
But He that builds all things is the Lord
James announces decision of councils
For the outcalling of Gentiles
Our trecento we make perfect sense of....




Our Cerberus
1-1-16

Etonian elegance fills the room with a sweet savor
On the Thames opposite Windsor
My only resolution is to enjoy it
Our shift and His modest proposal
Our Marius and his political rival of mere survival
And Etonian enthusiasm
Every new day is a gift
A Boob for all seasons, how can he lose
O, Treckschlyte
Where did you get such a name
And another Cerberus of out fustian
Another fix is imperative
Some things never change
Unless you choose to make revision and provision
To sop and saturate
And to strengthen the things that remain....




Sop, Dip and Soak
1-1-16

For the virgin daughter of my people
Is broken with a great breach
And we must learn again what we have thought we would teach
To sop, dip and soak
Our need for the trip and another smoke
Plenty of music to work with
I spend it till I'm broke
Peremptory
Ambiguous
Not allowing contradiction or refusal
Let mine eyes run down with tears of joy
Three hours and I can get on with it
With my only resolution
To enjoy....





On Jeremiah 14:20
1-1-16

The bootlegs work
Our tent pegs still jerk
They have none to bury them
As Quaternions will carry them
I will pour all righteousness upon those whom try again
Putting an end to all debate
Has thou hereby rejected me in times past
I'm another weekend billionaire
According to the blessing at hand
Yes, we acknowledge you
Today will be a Floyd day
The bootlegs still work
And no such promises are made
We have sinned against thee
Some whom went out from us
Have troubled you with words...



owing

Owing
1-1-16

Eternity in the Greek our Aion
Our Gentiles in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia
O, the hope of Israel
Their Savior thereof in times of trouble
Another conglomeration
Another nine dollars in the litter pan
Cat dung is a good investment
Why should thou be a stranger in the land
And a wayfaring travelling man
That turn aside to tarry for the night
Yet to comment on what I read and write
And not just put the page away
This have I loved to wander
With time to squander....




Stripling
1-1-16

We have not refrained our feet
Why should then be as a man astonied
As a mighty man that cannot save
Happy flaming new year
But in the midst of us
And we are called by Thy name
On the account of this our owing
To Longinus we recommend
They've seen that hope before in a heaven
O, earth in your mind if you choose it
Then the multitude kept silent and hearkened to Barnabas
Wondering if the old Floyd bootlegs will work for me today
As YouTube is a miracle for another stripling when they fast
I hear their cry...




happy new year

Happy Flaming New Year
1-1-16

Beautiful interactions
Wonderful similarities
Happy flaming New Year
Crazy dreams last night
I would have fought myself to the death
The Word concerning the dearth
I owe Jesus this year my every breath
For my booming cacophony
Where we crucify the insincere
Judah mourneth and the gates thereof languish
God has me up at this hour for a reason
Reporting to Philosophy 102
Our study of classical scholarship
I would have fought myself to my death....




Jubilo
1-1-16

They are black unto the ground
Cat kicks up sand
It's what cats do
And soon I must take out her souvenirs
O, Jubilo are you just for our jubilee
Setting slaves free on the fiftieth year
All for the abuse of our electuaries
Sun-wake and sunward
Because the ground is chapt
For there was no rain after this
I will return and I will rebuild the ruins thereof
And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters
They return to their vessels
Empty icy wind of night be gone
This is not your domain...




Come To Jerusalem
1-1-16

So that all mankind may seek Him
O, Drought, do you yet doubt
What's it all about
In taking another route
Realistic new year's resolution
Is to just enjoy the coffee
Our prosophila honest around our rotting fruit
Our cumulus clouds we take in our view
On Walpurgis night
The stars shine bright
Hear the lark and hearken the hind
Also calved in the field and forsook it
Because there was no grass
Panting for air like dragons
For vellum and fire, parchment
Come to Jerusalem...




First Three AM (On The Dot)
1-1-16

Wild asses stand on high places
Snuffing up the east wind for vellum made of calfskin
In the lazy water meadow
Their eyes did fail
I would have fought for the death
Come our mandarine
Of ones Bureaucrat inaccrochable
For our accrual ways about ourselves
In vanity of vanities
In dreams I binge on my kirsch
Through our iniquities testify against us
We crucify the insincere
Do thou it for my name's sake....



hurtle

Hurtle
12-31-15

To hurtle and move with great speed
Our rushing noise we hurl
As hair doth naturally curl
Another Mephistopheles is at it again
We fight the fire where a violent attempt is made in mire
And we read about the exceptions
Can the Ethiopian change his skin
Or the leopard his spots
Too many rapports seem to be sweeping along
Then may ye also do good
I won't give in without a fight
So I plow my way straight into the night
Another tussle but no such hustle....




On Jeremiah 13:26, 27
12-31-15

Too early to retire
Instinct to survive
Stirs the higher passions for elocution
Anything can happen
Come art of public speaking
I act as if they were all naked
As gestures are to be emphasized
God bless all caretakers
Namely those helping Mother
From the point of a compass
I have seen thine adulteries
And such are beautiful
Weal unto thee
Wilt thou not be made clean
When shall it once be sowing
Down just a tap to regain composure
Therefore I discovered the skirts upon thy face
That thy glory be made known....




Report To Church
12-31-15

It could be the end of the world
Or perhaps a new beginning
O, get rebooted in the armor
In which you will be suited
This is my lot, the portion of my measures
Return to Antioch
Report to church
And give your last fifteen dollars
As if they were your first
But don't tell anyone
Who in bygone generations
Allow the nations to walk in their own ways
It's easy to believe that this could be heaven
For Phial and shallow vessel
With ourselves still we wrestle
All for the maelstrom and triumph in the struggle
Report to church....

farrier

Farrier
12-31-15

Sister bluebird shine your wings
Hybrid mistress
All for ones farrier
Showing off our horses
Catch the very light fool-hardy reckless and rash
I decline from their party for all regalia
Long winters longer
What will you say unto his chastisement
Lift up your eyes and behold them
Who come from the north
And may your light shine forth
Catch my knowledge
Where is the flock that is given thee
O, beautiful flock
Into the region of Galatia
Take no thought of what to write
The work in Iconium
Many believe...





Brother-spheres
12-31-15

Behold you lovers
Marvel and live
For I work a work in your days
As one to declare it unto you
Thou has taught them to be captives
In my mass production zone
I don't need today to be alone
Neither do you
O, seek out the Love that is true
For drought and captivity
An opportunity to quench ones thirst
For brother-spheres
By the Lord of Browallia
And her united petals
Soon it's time to make a change
Of the music I face up to
O, wherefore come these things
I turn it over to Lee, Lifeson and Pert
To heal the hurt...




glebe

Glebe (Take Five)
12-31-15

If you will hear it
May it take effect in your bowels and reigns
And secret places for your pride acceptable
As light is more plentiful
At the turn of the fifth hour
And mine eyes weep sore with gladness
show me where you are
Travelling very far
Another hangman, another transport
Another enrapture and times and moments
Like butterflies to capture
O, Glebe by my plot of land
Belonging
Of yielding profit for earth and soil
Say unto the king and queen
Humble yourselves and be exalted
Opposition from the enemy
Is as a tool to opportunity....




More Journeyings
12-31-15

South into Cycia
That's just where you are
Hesitating to take that risk
To play something dangerous
Take this as you will
As it floweth through me on the sixth
Our Epiphany
I want to find out what it means
For fish and greens
For your principalities
Come down on their own accord
In the Lord back north into Pamphylia
And then northeast into Pisidia
Why not go there now...





girdle

Girdle
12-31-15

Spend the Day your way
As nature calls
And another craving sets in
For Braque as our leading exponent
And we'll see you
We'll be there singing too
Our girdle and ruined waistband
Of distant atmosphere
Even in the valley as one out of three
Paws get tossed as so our ways and paths get crossed
For divine interruption
I have much work to do in this
And today it is my love, joy and peace
Against which there is no such law
Passing across Cypress
Across the sea into Attalia...





On Acts 13:33
12-31-15

Bringing in our sweet sixteen
With an artificial tree
Said to be as real and always green
Needless to say for the needles we pray
This shall thou speak unto them to fill all inhabitants
Soon to turn it over to Cat Stevens
For the cause of confrontation
And every jug will be filled  with iced tea
O, do we not know that every bottle will know its substance
Come priests, prophets and inhabitants
With their contact high
Dreamer easy you are my son
Today I have begotten you...




One For The Wind
12-31-15

For the wind with her arms all around me
Love, peace and joy has found me
Found again in our hamlet and praise for the dancing bee
My new idol of sorts
Looking good in black and yellow
By now she is of age
According to optimum nostalgia
For even the kings that sit on David's throne
How does she sing to our glory king
The movement is set in motion
As thought so stems emotion
As He that God raised up saw no corruption....




Praise God Seventeen Times
12-31-15

With drunkenness on oneself
Again puffed up but not against anyone
The unspoken truth comes to town
Repeat "Praise God" seventeen more times
On the way back down there I dash them one against another
For today I have gained a brother
Hear ye and give heed
Never fear ye in the sowing of another seed
But while you look for light
So it is turned into the shadow of death
And be not haughty for the Lord has spoken
O, give ear....








mouffetard

Mouffetard
12-31-15

To eventuate the result
Ultimately to tear down
And thou recreate the silence on seasons
As the girdle cleaves to the loins
O, shine on me and allow me to illuminate
That they might be unto me for a people
Start again today and hit the reset button
Broken in a tantrum in my gaming days for predilection
So the ends meet and she tells me not to try too hard to make it happen
don't need be alarmed
By a knock on someone else's door
For distant drums falling from our table crumbs
Where wee learn to fly and scale the sky
O, mouffetard will you be my bard....




My Last Fifteen, I Give
12-31-15

Giving my last fifteen
For the cause of my former year prolific
Greeting my yenta by the way of its contretemps
And importune occurance
As the sun battles the clouds
And it all seems like a dream
To the me of John Brown's rebellion
To plant my dilanthus deciduous
For our predilection
But why such fancy words
When we can tell it plainly
Reason: I love the language
You will not allow your one to see corruption....

teeming

Teeming
12-31-15

Only such jealous hearts can learn to love
On this good fortune
One word can bring you around
Chances ballast for ship and gondola
To enhance stability, changes esthetic
Concerning appreciation of beauty and good taste
I make a resolution again to just enjoy it
In all solidarity
For purposes and sympathies
Changes our fellowship of interests
I will give you the sure mercies of David
All for changes teeming
Ambiguous....




At Antioch Revisited
12-31-15

After the manner I mar my own pride
Just broke out of the danger zone
On another dreary day
To celebrate the idiosyncrasy
And love my neighbors in telling them about Jesus
In all eventuation I can feel a sense of measure
Breaking down the dreams we wager in all propriety
Our innate inclination
I ought to take this as a compliment graciously
Prippic O, never mind the explicit
O, Vivnidi where have you been hiding out
To result ultimately clockwise into Pamphylia, our silver
Yeah, you are my son
Today I have begotten you
Make me a blessing...





Propensity (Take Five)
12-31-15

On the last day of the year
In heaven there is no fear
Playing Topographic Oceans in its entirety
O, Christian come and see
In all propensity of innate inclination
They move fast to tell me that they come to believe
A course towards a universal season
Looking for Vivaldi
Lights out
Now that the sun is up
Battling the clouds
By their simple acceptance of what is
At Antioch in Pisidia
Who do you think I am!





plaister

Plaister
12-31-15

May my music serve your purpose today
To those who incline an ear
I just want to celebrate Christmas all over again
Every morning of backbone and chine
And delicacies of yours and mine
O, plaister please pardon
The advantage we take for granted
The Lord liveth and morning skies are enchanted
Then they shall be built in the midst of you and I
For our interracial chess match
Yet to inculcate and instill
And another dollar refill to kill...




Mensch At The Bench
12-31-15

She said I was doing better
Seems too sweet to be true
A floodgate and a raging river runs in the real you
The Lord liveth as they taught my people to bless the day they were born
We have plenty of time and space to share
It goes from our Samaria for ones mensch
Another Yes day
Another we guess day
I pray for blessings in her study
And breastwork justice to the right of burden
And bring who had been brought up our foster brother
Hold on
Today we're in good hands
Yes, I can make it good....




No Such Maleficence
12-31-15

Of secession wars of confession
Whores, our eternal cycle our Samsara
sunshine is seen to shine on you
Go and get thee a linen girdle
God bless all that have rule over me
For they look for my soul
God make me a blessing to many people today
As the sun comes up I soon hear cries of birds of prey
So I get my waistcloth
It can happen upon my loins a girdle
Purchased with rare coins and no such maleficence
Sister helps me to believe in all I do
Ambiguous....





Son Of Kish (Make A Wish)
12-31-15

Our outcroppage and a crazy world outside
We're about to lose our pride
For our portion of bedrock for other stratum
And gradation for burning wires to feed the soul and heart
I take this for granted O, arise and go to Euphrates
And take thee a girdle from thence
A symmetrical progression
It's supposed to be a sunny day today
Nothing to hate as for this truth and love I pray
Synonymous to meditation
I hope to meet you there
There's no one else to blame
In the love we are about to share
There I begged and behold a girdle was sewn
Back together for today our clement weather...




eruct

Eruct
12-31-15

Trodden down my portion underfoot
Another iconoclasm by eructation and millinery
Of all villainry on the overland
Telegraph live
Made up of distinctive components
For one whom seeks to overthrow traditional ideas
And instructions
They have sown wheat
And we have plenty of apples to eat
Don't take the law into your own hands
Unless the law is Love....




By All Means, Profit
12-31-15

Today the sun sits so high
Upon thrones of God's grace
Right beside me her motor is running
And I seek her face
They have sown thorns
But shall reap wheat
Putting themselves to pleasure
And by all means profit
O, another milliner makes her hat
And I must say that Grace is the greatest cat
Touching the inheritance
We find just where it's at
Call no one papist
In that you don't know
Call no suckling papoose
And let her grow...





Minutiae
12-31-15

After I have plucked them out
We are told now to cut off the roots
Soon I will return
With so much left to learn
Having compassion on those who are less fortunate
To bring them again to my place
O, welcome to my jungle
Every man to his own heritage minutiae
I believe it's going to be another wonderful one
In this world I often think and feel to understand you
Every man to his land....




rhapsody

Rhapsody
12-31-15

I think I met you in another life
Somewhere in spaces between
My blue and green
Know your custom
For today you need not make the scene
Mine heritage is unto me
As a lion in the forest
To cry out against me
I have given the dearly beloved of his own soul
Up at five thirty
Reading to write, O praise my God
For this blue ink given time to think
I reach my right hand to heaven
Carrying in my heart the true country
O, rhapsody immoderately impassioned
Seeking autonomy
My cigarettes need be rationed....




Chignon
12-31-15

More badinage last evening libidinous
The harlot whispers I dare you
Another chignon
At the nape of my neck
Seeking autonomy though always dependent
I sip my coffee to kill my somnolence
And my malarkey starts to make to me perfect sense
One hour till sunrise
To stay out of the rack and sack would be wise
Enthusiastic and ecstatic
I am ready for another prolific one
For to bring in sweet sixteen
Second fix and not as such drunken....





I'm A New Me
12-31-15

Chignon, the magic word
Defined as a roll and knot of hair
She's a mess but I really don't care
Mine inheritance is with me as a speckled bird
As today I delve deep in name and Word
They have trodden my portion
And I'm a new me
Come sweet sixteen
O, may it be come ye
Assemble all beasts
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard
They have made it desolate
Set apart by the holy Spirit
The voice of God and not of a man
The soldiers are come upon high places
When these men come from West Point
It's time to get clean and get dressed....





ostent

Ostent
12-30-15

Truth or dare
Ignorance or care flight or fancy
As I sit beside my Nancy
Osseous and double jointed
Spending a little time on the mountain
For fauriel flings of fate and fortune
And our ostentation
Set apart by the Spirit
Ask for it and the power to make it today
Raising him up
Arousing him to action
Just as hard with the weight of lead
Squads of four men
Each Herod blasphemes
And gives up the ghost...




New Name: Christian
12-30-15

Up Bonne Chanson and his requiem
I never did read that book
One way or another
My back is strong enough to make it to my table
All for Percy
And upon him all of God's mercy
Up to no good sacerdotal
How long shall the land mourn
Didn't mean to be scarce
One way or another
Soon I'm off to shine my light and love
To all around me
I have forsaken my house today
All for the sweet stuff....

can it

Can It?
12-30-15

It can wait but can it?
There shall be no remnant of those who quit
Yet let me talk with thee of thy judgement
Thou has planted them as roots reach deep
I want to know right now
As Peter vindicates his ministry
And I am given the wherewithal and know-how
What do you wish to do by the image of the back of my hand
Doubting nothing
Making no distinction
So I sent to you immediately
It's simple, just stay put and let it be
I can wait but, O can it?




Descant
12-30-15

When all hope is lost
All faith is gained
Still I pay the cost
The word saved, it's in the book
Such is real to me today in new ways
You are my soul and yes, you are yet to witness
To be among the chosen few
O, can anyone forbid water
O, so the quenching seems to be a little bit too much
Ministerial, these words not my own
But of He that told me to take up this pen
To write my latest descant
On another day of half light....




You Made It!
12-30-15

Glad you can make it
Don't think too hard about what you plan to do
When you get home
Here's another one for Jephthah
O, quite a judge and no such sugarless fudge
Yes, we bring forth fruit worthy of repentance
The last thing I need is more caffeine
O, maybe one more before I go
Perhaps in a time of compromise unlearned
The rest of the day would be wise
Who had been brought up
Our foster brother of another mother
Constant prayer is offered to God for him by the church
And I toss in my ten out of my hundred
Glad you could make it....






It Worked Before

It Worked Before
12-30-15

I bring my offering predecided
O, try my reigns and heart
My cat reacts to something I cannot see
In the air, literally our heaven
And another coffee at seven eleven
The damage has been done
All for the Italian Regiment
Sirens all day report to Sicily
Where my cities are in ruins
It doesn't pay to fret
I can breath a sigh of relief
That he soon will be here with medicine....





Last Two Days Of Fifteen
12-30-15

On the last two days of the year
O, sweet sixteen don't fail me now
Young men die by the sword
And their sons die by famine
God is looking down on me smiling
We're not made to be without
What God has cleansed
Thou must not call common or unclean
Coffee, faith or stupidity
Get the sky
See creation fly
In this point of giving
Theme: salvation through faith
Coffee, faith or stupidity
By brother is about to hit me up
God willing
Don't say you're sorry....




Peter Goes To Caesarea
12-30-15

Get the earth
On your own two feet
Moment to moment rebirth
This chance for living
You break the reason
Slow down on your trips out
Another toy line in my game of marbles
O, Exelseman do your thing
To activate the mission
And be on the same timeline
Righteous art thou, O Lord
Throw off these chains for our Toyon shrub
And when I return I get some grub
Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper....
