brucine

Brucine
5-6-16

Jabesh takes a stand
So that readers can understand
We will come out to thee
Avoiding the traffic
In our oblique and random way
On our safety island
Crossing the Lafayette
I cried and I cried
You were my tears if eyes were like waters
Love would conquer all of such fears
And I know it's going to work out fine
One more fix before I go
Up and down, down and up
I refill my cup
Brucine used in denaturation
In what it can mean....





Denaturation
5-6-16

Of Cypress and Juniper
We make our way to higher ground
Of scaly leaves
Love joy and peace
Is found of berrylike cones and rods of good sound
Two more hours of applying wisdom
Levites twenty and up go to work on the house
I will make it through even in the worst case scenario
O, priests with trumpets
O, beasts and strumpets
To denature it
But still take it down as a remedy
Of the waiting for that call blues....





Are We Like Cows?
5-6-16

Looking up to answer
I pray that speech will be plain
To have it better than you know it
Little green light on the speedway
The bible never changes
Eternal life God promises with immutability
Are we as cows that give milk
Yeah, if we can tell them about it
O, Titus
Paul's son after the faith
I took my chances when I believed
It must be getting early
Mother's day
God don't let me mess it up
It's okay to lose sleep over it.....





not that bad

It's Not That Bad
5-6-16

When you cry the Lord doth but hear
As Saul was tall like a mighty melody
For height we cleared at Great Jones Street I lied
This book here I write has got me in my corner
It's not that bad
Setting rumination aside for awhile
Why look at me like we never met
Why worry, O why fret
Thirty souls at the chiefest place
Taking up the shoulder one year wiser and older
"I am the seer
Go to your high place
And remember God's grace
O, portion edged about
O, liberate me
Freedom rays and majesty
Where optimism strikes.....





Just Being There
5-6-16

What shall we bring her
The sacrifice of just being there
O, you're yearning but you'll live
With a judicious blow
Room to maneuver
Wheels and millions of eyes
Ezekiel must have been on something
Power to Him for the vision
Next visit
Birthday weekend
I'll be there for you
As Nahash comes up
Encamping at Jabesh-gilead
It's really not that bad
Give us seven days respite
Now I go out for a smoke in the rain
The second time....









sleeping

Sleeping Is Where It's At
5-6-16

Climb right in there
And cuddle up with me
Hugs but no drugs save those of a prescription
Spotlight on the promises
And a shadow on the problem
Baby, whose to say
Stand and pray until the answer comes
Little in much when God is in it
Like windows of heaven open up
Plenty of room to maneuver
As I look up the praise Him
True source is in the Word
Spotlights in my mind
The cardinal rule of golden wings
She wishes me well
Climb right in there
The poetry can wait....





On First Samuel 9:3,4 (dig this)
5-6-16

Sleeping can wait
To waste coffee
O, how I hate
So sing out and bring it out
We can run and hide behind our honest countenance
Pleasure will be my fate
The battle is not yours but God's
Three more hours and I go northwest
Asses of Kish lost
Take a servant and arise
And tell them to hold the fries
Through Shalisha and Shalim
At God's right hand
Sleeping can wait
I'm not counting
How can I be late
But that I'm the early bird
Taking daughters to be confectionaries......






reproachable

Reproachable
5-6-16

Preacher in sweet rain
It takes me way back
Where godliness is gain
Giving olive yards to his servants
God never wanted you to feel this pain
Mercy on a sinner such as I
As a prisoner condemned to die
My bags are packed as I lighten the load
Setting myself to seek the Lord
And beg, "God, what do I do?"
Open anyone?
For our musicians at Hazazon-Tamar
Where roiling is over
A little bin of something is yet to begin
God, what do I do
But drop quarters for pop-open anyone?
We are reproachable in Engedi....





"There You Go!"
5-6-16

As of now it looks better
Invaded by Mede and Ammon
O, what do I do
But pray for a good one
And expect His miracles
If you think of it that way
It looks better
Slept into nine-thirty
There you go with the coffee
To walk on coals of fire
If we can't or won't forget it
Position yourself to seek the Lord
And take up His sword
God make me a blessing to Mother
For Jehoshaphat goes to battle
I'm looking good to me in my looking glass
Where Judah is inundated by rain ten days in a row
Just be still....



all ears

All Ears
5-6-16

Gas station promised no indictment
Love is blindness so some say of it
And no one is above it
I wonder if they see me
Love is clockwork of cold steel
Catching herself between the cobbles
It's going to be another beautiful reunion
On my way to Washington Square
Playing it by ear
To blow out the candles for my forty-third
Yet to plow and cast seeds to the bird
Not enough decibles
To but deafen
Often I abused it
It almost makes sense
To fall on deaf ears.....





Dipole Magnetic
5-6-16

O, dipole magnetic ink
Give me room to ponder and think
O, Coulumb to clean again the kitchen sink
O, Debye tell no lie
The sun disappears
And comes up on my fears
So I can get on with it
Where they have each other
For the sun gone in dreaming
Of West Broadway
And over us a gull
Another gilt-edged place to eat
All for our coulometer
I'm ready for the gridlock
Yet exemplary and commendable
We gild the lily already exemplary
She gets to work on time....






Americana
5-6-16

Golden and gilt
Wine was spilt
Exemplary serving as a deterent
Her hair hang gently down
For our Americana
There's a line that has been drawn through the ages
Reuben tell me true
And fill in these pages
Pray for the crew
They leave at four
For the truth of love
That conquereth all fear
Come inspiration and perspiration
And another bad joke
Halelujah
An extra three and pennies
I'll be up!

literati

Literati
5-6-16

I bury my treasure
Where strangers dig it up
As so two thirds full is my cup
She's been such a good companion
With each sip and sup
All for literati and their attainments
Letter-for-letter
And literal
It gets better
Moving on the third day
Our Canadian change
Where we travel with stones
Carried to their refraction
Come debacle and fiasco
All elderly are gathered
To light our way unto Ramah
For our judges in Beer-Sheba....





Nice To You
5-6-16

Whatever goes down this weekend
God is still on the throne
We walk yet not in his ways
We talk about, yet to come, better days
Joel, the name of the firstborn
Dreams begin with responsibilities
In all ignomity
shew them the manner of king that will be kicking
We crossed licking
We lost picking
The salad we tossed
For the low worn curb
On North Front Street
Turning left on Great Jones
In a dream of shakes and mysteries to unravel
God make me a blessing to Mother
Amen and amen
It all sounds nice to you....






composmentis

Composmentis
5-5-16

Please don't let me drown
Jesus, don't leave me stranded here
Hitherto hath the Lord helped us
I'm ready to go and to repent at Mizpeh
If you return with all your heart
And put away strange gods
He delivers us out of their hands
Precious gifts beyond compare
As to build a world of wonder
All for composmentis
The people were divided
Planning to build their cities
Come typesetter and compositor
To find out what we have gained
Come textual matters
The bible is more than just another book
Only love can steer you right
Everyone can make it.....





Philistines Subdued
5-6-16

You know I don't see you
When you walk in the room
All for composmentis of bride and groom
Sometimes brothers make peace after a fight
In hopes to get my fire going this morning
When everyone else is out of sight
In the sheer face of love
Only manifest by the dark of night
Where the Philistines are subdued
Coming no more into the coasts
The scholar humbles himself as the poet boasts
It's no secret at all
Men will rise and men will fall
On Broadway....






Rupiah
5-6-16

Parting from each other
I leave Yorkshire
I go home to visit Mother
Your lips move but you can't talk
For fruit stewed compote and jotting down another note
And there will be peace between Limael and Amon
And no more rupture or breach
Going to run to you
In that I have much to teach
For antagonism and rupees in my pocket
Dreaming of Pakistan and Nepal
Where a woman needs a man
Be still!






fumed

Fumed
5-5-16

Laughing in my fascination of the pun
This is all I need to do for fun
Only leading me to the door
Where I want more and more
Of what God has to offer
Returning to Ekron the same day
Riding on a desert wind
Pulling in the Spiritual
For coffer, for chest, for cart
Wherefore ye harden your hearts
As Pharaoh did for our Great Stone of Abel
My poetry takes a turn to the bizarre
And I can't turn back now that I've made it this far
Fumed by exposure
They lamented
Trying to hold onto my thinking
Hearing you're happy now
Fumed....





The Stone Between
5-5-16

On the bleachers controlling the game
God bless all teachers that assist the name
Surrendering to the other life
On a family vacation
We wish we could still go there and see it
Mentioned by a girl called someone
My way of saying I miss you
They cover me there
O, men of Kirjathjearim
Do something out of the ordinary
Gather us all at Mizpeh
And I will pray for you
Calling it Eben-ezer
Take these words by your will
Enjoy today....




Ichabod

Ichabod
5-5-16

Combining of pictorial elements
A new sister in Christ cleans up the grounds
Come elements from different sources
There with the ark that has caused a lot of grief
Elders ask why
Let us fetch the ark out of Shiloh
Unwise to compare yourselves to others
Be strong, quit ye like men
That thou not be servants as Philistines are still fighting
And Israel is smitten
Woe unto us
Fell of Israel
Thirty thousand
A very great slaughter
And Phinehas with child
Near delivered is where it will be
Naming him Ichabod
There is no glory....





Polemicize
5-5-16

Don't miss out on Mothers' Day
The dark is taken grey dim
He could not see the pepper is shaken
And clothes rent
I take along my books and hope for cessation
Of my main vice
Another thumbnail description of Corsica
I'll get through it
For another polemic branch of theology
Dealing with ecclesiastical disputation
And all that controversy
That comes with the territory
O, what a beautiful riff
That my shoes have touched  my soul
In layers I didn't see....





On First Samuel 6:1
5-5-16

For controvert
No one gets hurt
From pride doth come contention
In divine intervention at nine on the dot
I'm back in there
How does it feel
Contumacious
More gibberish
She was the fire to the house of Dagon
From palm to palm
Hand of the Lord heavy on Ashdod
Smiting them with emerods
Sending the ark to Ekron
Acts of random kindness
Five golden emerods that mar the land
I don't know just where I am
Knowing the day is a mystery in current times
And in ancient history
Down the dark wall for the love of man....






Another Acolyte
5-5-16

Down the busy road
The song enormous
Let me wander there
Let me wonder why
On the ocean wave to the billowing sky
Drinking port like it's milk in my coffee
For priests and diviners
According to the number of lords of the Philistines
I wonder why
Our oblique and narrow way
To maneuver in over metal cellar doorways
Another acolyte does his thing
Offering kine where I love to say it's all mine
Down the dark hall craving for sweets and smokes....



I see

I See
5-5-16

Pray for leaders
Yes, even the unjust
For sons of Belial who knew not God
Our love turns to rust that never sleeps
Pictorial and illustrated
He keeps the feet of the saints
I share it with myself for the Priest's custom
When all flesh is seething
Our flesh hook of three teeth
With such an appetite for sufficiency
Laying with women assembled at the door
Don't need no more lies
The child grew before the Lord
And ministered with a linen ephod
Fear, though there will be
The time I see
Having not sodden fresh
But raw....





I'll Get On With It
5-5-16

It's not that I don't care
As fires sometimes burn cold
And I'm at a roadblock
Ye make the Lord's people to transgress
Coming up to offer yearly
Where the rain hits heavy on the borderline
Samuel grew before the Lord
And she has a coat so warm
That's the way I remember her best
Striking it into the pan like a tea kettle
The sower nods her head and funds a few
Tired as a stone that fights the current
For sons of good report
Soon he will be here
And I'll get on with it.....







Philistines Defeat Us
5-5-16

We're only human too
Dizzy for skies of blue
It's the real me that lieth in you
Ask God, why do you answer
Because it is what I do
A bottom for a newspaper dip
My pockets full of sand
For Hophni and Phinehas
In one day they die
Brushing off the edges
Just trimming those hedges
Hear the mighty engines roar
Where the ground is thanking in the feelings that you lack
At least a travelling companion
Toward the curb edge left down Lafayette
That long block
The sun is up and the lights are turned off.....





Rising To The Day
5-5-23

I pray, hide it not from me
Doing okay now that I can see
Pitching beside Eben-ezer
Just being me
As moving to a new location
Takes its toll
Let none of his words fall to the ground
As he reveals himself at Shiloh
I's dotted and T's crossed
For the wars that Israel lost
I pray, hide it not from me
Samuel told him every whit
For montage and juxtaposition
And partial superimposition
They stop to rest for the night
Several shots to form a single image.....






priory

Priory
5-5-16

Three bullocks
An ephah of flour and a bottle of wine
How long must we sing this song
Kicking, we crossed the river Nile
Love elaborately our embellishment
Another fix is imperative and to catch the sunrise
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Fear, though there will be the time I see our advocate
Of centralization
Tomorrow I go home to see Mother
Lopsided, distorted
And weary with spiritual torticollis
I see you walk away into the new day
And through the rain
Yet transcendental
Of Kantian philosophy
Our Priory does it for us.....




Aren't We All Wicked
5-5-16

Don't mean to make movies from memories
I'm wide awake for elements in experience
Which condition human knowledge
Life is a war
Why one needs to stand up and sing it
In our psalmody dependent upon our Abbey
To let it go and some to fade away
Hiring out themselves for bread
They that were hungry had ceased
As children wax feeble when free
One is left to his own devises
We're free to do the right thing
The Lord killeth and maketh alive
All for our montage and good eats...

Ephrathite

Ephrathite
5-5-16

Back up at ten till six
God bless the Ephrathite
In this available light
Salivating over my morning coffee
Glad to be home with my cat
Voice within says don't sweat it
For worship and all sacrifice
The weather so far has been nice
Sometimes the inside of me
Tells me something about life
That I haven't heard before
In the name of love
The story never matters
Until the front door looks real.....





E.G.B.D.F.
5-5-16

Enough stuff to keep me going for years
Who's us
Don't answer
It's underway to sacrifice in Shiloh
For Hophni and Phinehas
The crowd was gathered black and white
Rehashing my fifty gallon tank sessions
Where love means favor
And every good boy deserves it
Upon a seat by a rock
Why weed it
Thou am I not better than ten sons
I will be with you again
Climb the fence to get in
To get out....





At Shiloh
5-5-16

Loving Hananiah
The Lord shut her womb
Love meaning to favor
Hate meaning to love less
She wept and did not eat
All for our polity
Our administrative regulation
In duple meter
Loving the consistency
Of the greatest hits cassette
Only to be with you
Elkanah yearly went up
And look again
I refill my cup
Speaking with the tongue of angels
In each sip and sup hap and lot
I love you a lot
I care in my own way
Bringing him to the house at Shiloh....






Simon-pure

Simon-pure
5-5-16

Simon-pure and untainted
I hear the guitar school as the new chords turn purple
In Saint Leutlivre's play
A bold stroke for a wife
And another gimcrack
Gewgaw and bauble
I did what I did
Before love came to town
Learning for Goethe and his Faust
As one to ransom the lost for our pies
A large part of our requiem mass
No treasure not manifest in his sight
We have a Savior passed into the heavens
Simon-pure
I see love conquer the great divide
Something inside tells me to speak of it....





High Priest
5-5-16

So long and hello again
We have not a high priest
That cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities
O dies Irae just sing it
Our Latin hymn
Another fix is imperative
As Christ glorified not himself
To become this high priest
Believe it or not
He is the only good man
Who can have compassion upon the ignorant
And on them out of the Way
In over metal cellar doorways
Striving out towards the curved edge
No one good, no not one but Jesus....






Diamond Eyes
5-5-16

Lazy days, got ruby and rustic
Reading gladness and diamond eyes
Thou art my son today
I have begotten thee
In this particular notebook
I have the dilemma of pages falling out
Icy will I see you
Climb the fence to get in
Agoraphobic about the bourse
And I pour my second cup
Soon to get on with the accent mark
Important for correct pronunciation
And all I want is you
A treasure just to look upon it in my collection
Giving to Peninah to wife
Lean not to your own understanding
Remaining teachable....




Eldritch

Eldritch
5-5-16

Like a life crowing on a tree
I will follow
Looking for Paul Blackburn
The stone found me in bright sunlight
Up and out of bed extremely too early
But at least I got my four hours of slumber
Eldritch and ghostly
The dead are here
Hard to do, easy to watch
And I see where your eyes make a circle
The word preacher did profit
Some with ears to hear
Eldritch and ghostly
The dead are here
Mingled with faith in they that hear.....





Pinch Penny
5-5-16

Blue straight rivers of fresh pinchbeck
Spurious and counterfeit
As the pinchpenny is quite stingy
They to whom it is first preached
In a dry and waterless place
We which have believed
Do enter into his rest
God did rest the seventh day
From what he was doing
Hang on!
To limit a certain day
Come on, take me home again tomorrow
Let us labor therefore lest any man fall
After the same example of unbelief
Yet course-grinded
Looking for Henry Miller
Who dies in eighty
Another read to consider.....





"You Really Like To Mix It Up"
5-5-16

O, black beard
Should I grow thee
She won't catch me or break my fall
This particular notebook
The pages tear easily to my dismay
And gray's got blue skies
In this outrageous cloud
Grinding grain into flour
I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Another lyric for the gospel hour yet Simon-pure
You wouldn't believe me if I told you
You sew it up but still I see the tear
All things are naked and opened
To the eyes of him
With whom we have to do, burning....






for Ruskin

For Ruskin
5-3-16

Teaching the brethren
Saying lest ye be circumcised
After the law of Moses
You will not see it
Judging rashly
As we can almost be it
And there they preached
And much they teached
Careless seems the great avenger
In all immanence
I think about my motivation
For when I return home
And put on a fresh batch
Looking for John Ruskin
Our writer and critic
To inhere as innate
While on God now I wait
Crazy to see the black dodge to arrive
Yet intrinsic
Moreover I call God
For a good record on my tab for tomorrow
Time to walk out and wait to meet you there.....





Dies Declarabit
5-4-16

Dies declarabit
Time will tell on Mount Aetna in Sicily
The gods defeat the rebel giants
I can see you now
Dies declarabit
Today if you hear his voice
Harden not your hearts as in the day of provocation
There's no limit to what we can write about it
We're going to smoke them out
Looking for Thomas Moore
And his "Weep Not For Those"
Seeing my works forty years
Big trouble
I'll be there on the double
Take heed lest there be in you
An evil heart of unbelief
Dies declarabit
Time will tell....





If Indeed I Must
5-4-16

Joy of the dust and gladness of the grave
If indeed I must
I get a clean shave
America has an ugly side and still I crave
Exhort one another daily
While it is called today
The wires melt in joy
For another video cassette recorder
To destroy eldritch and ghostly
Soon it's time for the four o clock news
And something to eat
Tomorrow is another day to write my rhyme and catch the beat
Weird and supernatural steadfast till the end....





abstemious

Abstemious Today
5-3-16

Hail Mary full of grace
I make mention of you in every place
Making their creed our lover and not our jailor
As first man stoop
God conquered
The worst is over with
For the next two weeks or so
Yet abstemious using it sparingly
Restricted to bare necessities
Sadly I won't see you tomorrow
For the legendary virtue
I need someone to trust
Toiling up new Calcaries
Leaving him something for him to remember me by
Hail Mary
I am not ashamed to say it.....





Grand Credo
5-3-16

Vivid meaning of the side I choose
I snooze I win even if I lose
Lose of that grand credo that but woos worshippers
Of light anscentral
You are of my kin
I take so much for granted
And Herod is highly displeased
But I did what I had to do
Like they push me far away
The other way again
If he calls choose to talk for awhile
You have big balls and such is in style
Loving it like it's rock and roll
Today all tuned out alright
Christ's bleeding feet I track
As backs break me to you
On a pale horse....






Be It Known To You Therefore
5-3-16

With the Past's blood rusted key
The rude grasps of the crude and crass
Asp in bipolar mood
Shackle and clasp
And there she was
I ought not be too hasty to judge
Whether or not she will taste like fudge
Be it known to you therefore
Men and brethren
By Him all that believe are justified
Howbeit as we stand
Round about the fireplace
We come ever closer to true being
By the faith that goes a long way
Still I take this grace for granted
And live as if she will always be
Made uncouth in youth....





impulse

Impulse
5-3-16

O, launch our Mayflower and steed boldly
I get in trouble with my old lady
Obsession is my style
and I cannot take it easy anymore
I am by love possessed
Angel is not enough a word to call you
Is this parallel or yet skew
I must say that I still love you
To the terrace of the tryst
Same size as a human heart
A clenched fist
I hear a cue to silence
Myself and I
Given my orders to take a powder
"Enough questions!"
My inner guide god shouts....





Yeah And Amen!
5-3-16

Pray for patience
We need a boat load
Even in the trials
I befriend my toad
Speaking in ink
It is my latest code
Loving your ozostomia
In my own special way
I want your germs
I love your guts
Foolish to mention it
In repetitive ruts
All is vanity and vexation of Spirit
We make their truth of falsehood
Believing to be set free
In another unfathomable riff
They are men of present valor
For all promises are yeah, and in him Amen
Shall we in our haste to slay make not waste
In the lead role you play...





to be just

To Be Just
5-3-16

Calling!
South assemble all
I'm not missing out on much
I get enough of it in my front yard
My kind of action is country relaxing
And as be I, north assemble some
Brother John calls me up at seven
And I decide to talk about my walk
Drunk up by the sod
I go my way and you go yours
Albeit she wanders
As the outcast
As Heart thinks
Arise, Peter slay and eat
What God has cleansed
That call not common or unclean
Prosperous to be just
We're only the strong....






Dangerous Pastime
5-3-16

Past or future to make Plymouth Rock sublime
Another dangerous pastime
Off we go but I don't need to leave the premises
I pray that they will understand
And regard my freewill to but linger
All things are full of labor
I will tell them that I'm cleaning
Tis as easy to be heroes
With past's blood rusted key
We are all entitled to each others' words
Waiting on him continually
Sending them to Joppa
I turn the page and there is my hope
Unconvinced by axe and gibbet
In all virtue
Past, present and future
In the church at Antioch
We can with forgiveness pick every lock
And see it up close crystal clear..

twice the dreamer

Twice The Dreamer
5-3-16

Once and twice the dreamer
Someday I'll find you
But in the time being
I love you from a distance
Safe and sound until then
I'll be wandering aimlessly
Down to my last eight dollars
With a terror and a chill
As one too kill the bill
Need to put my foot down
And call the whole thing off tomorrow
Shooting the instantaneous three
Arise and go into the city called Straight
There he lodged with one, Simon a tanner
House by the seaside
And another good trip without leaving grounds
Wandering as a sheep in the grass....




Alway!
5-3-16

Netted by their strings
And tied to their things
Another sweet order of chicken wings
In dreams of partaking
Without due shaking
All for the Italian Band
I don't expect you to understand
God's new Messiah
Offering the bloom or blight
Catching bull in mid-flight
In the present crisis in my loins tonight
You ask what do I mean
And I say it's about making the scene
Running a thrill of joy prophetic
With a cloak of invisibility
I must do what I am told
And decline from the proposition
A devout man and one that feared
Giving much alms without due qualms
Alway!

from Winchester

From Winchester
5-3-16

There is a road from Winchester
Known for sweet cigars of mild renown
And good tidings about tomorrow's sunny weather
The charts are always subject to change
Obsequious
Full of exhilarating servile complaisance
For my cat and her appealing ozostomia
That's why I love her
Always by my side
Hire me to fill and wash her water dish
By which I make my wish
Somewhere from here to there
Spent for spares
As rent for hares
A lost soul drifting
In a river of musical acts
Glad to have my man back tonight
Let others know where I am
What to next?
Let it show....






Where 'Ya Coming From?
5-3-16

Carry it in your heart
Play it no longer
For thou art up from the south at the break of day
Out on highway twenty-four
And now the light is dreary
And sometimes I get weary
Foreboding to traitors
The doom of disaster
Back over to the Lamb in her entirety
Out of me unworthy and unknown
I remember my life of wonder
And I dream about it in the late afternoon
To let others know where I am
As an enthusiast of prog
And twilight songs of the frog
Do they still creak
For what is in a man's eyes....




Yay!
5-3-16

I want to feel your heart glow right through me
For your love and praise is due thee
They say the lights are always bright
To where you are coming from
Making the blood of the listener cold
This is how I cheat purposing quotes
But to coin the dust settles on my skin
For faces to be of recognition
It's all about sharing it
And not to be made well known
Or even renown
Behold, the screaming bird of prey
All I have to say is, "Yay!"




settee

Settee
5-3-16

O, settee, my long wooden bench
For a hench and no such stench
As also you have acknowledged us
In part and good faith that goes a long way
That you are our rejoicing
Let your guard down
You just might like it
Today I go the distance
Willing to hike it
Always in prayer for those less fortunate
The testimony of our conscience
That in simplicity and godly sincerity there is safety
Who is the happy warrior
That every man in arms should wish to be
O, settee.....





Inviolate
5-3-16

On Sheida's ride and my Sheraton dark side
I used to stop in all the pubs
Twenty miles round trip
Down to the south drag and back thrice
For Ann Rutledge
Stay focused on her flavors
Inviolate, nor preferred
Intact by which I am enabled to interact
Come self edification
Nixon back in seventy-four
Nobody understood it
A shudder bore
Line them up and shoot them down
Icky, offensive
Our tiding and the scotch tape
Fixed it in a figurative Budapest
Inviolate.....

other moon

Other Moon (Her Dark Side)
5-3-16

What do you value
Brittle big boxes upon which to stumble
To go gently
Finding power in that I hope to do it pure
"Okay then I'll think of something"
A lousy start for book eleven
But it will do in heaven
He is my happiness
When I said this a brother spills his coffee
Doesn't need to be the end of the world
And I sit here like a lump on a log
All for the other moon and her dark side
Just another movie to you, huh!
Rats in the food court
And the cleanup fee
Release the power and see your flower
I was a fool to care....





A'longing
5-3-16

Write in my persona
Borrow my mindlessness for a little while
If she kisses just let go when I'm not cool
Then it is I am burning and yearning and a'longing
Better waters in her deserts and frog suit
Lies better waters in her eyes
I was starting to see O, how I loved her
But we never really said goodbye
Twenty more days till my forty-three
Cold out here in the month of May
Loving what I have loathed
And starting to see where what he must doth value
Must be won over...






tin-pot

Tin-pot (Sprit)
2-2-16

Next task
Scoop the litter and take out the trash
And have another smoke
For this arrow of truth
I'll taste every fiber and rise anew
It is He that sits on the circle of the earth
A cup of silver coffee and a steam coated reflection
Of the mist in your hair
For our sternway and backyard movement
To take steps forward
Have ye not known
Have ye not heard
In our tin-pot steamboat
We row for our dear lives
For sprit and pole
That saves ones soul
Next task completed.....




Back To Uxmal
2-2-16

O, Connoisseur
In fine arts of informed tastes
We help and proceed to send one to fill the need
Of Skully, O where is your skill
To know what a great conflict I have for you
And those at Laodecia
Tell me it's alright
I'm a piece of her pie
Going back to Uxmal
O, Roofcomb are you rustic for corbels
And brackets of stone
We need not stand alone
To support our Cornice and arch
Like another walk in the dark
By the planting of another henequen
We wend and go our way
To make known the riches
Of the glory of the mystery
Among the Gentiles
O, Connoisseur.....






On Colossians 1:27-29 (seek this)
2-2-16

Firstborn over all creation
A part to play in a new show to go and see
This was just another dream of going there
Projecting from a face of a wall
Used to support our cornice
He is the image of the invisible God
As another gymnast makes his moves
Yea, they shall not be planted
Yeah, they shall not be sown
For my hairstyle homegrown
To them God willed
I make it known
To this end I also labor
Like a stone that is thrown
Striving according to his worrying
Abounding in it with thanksgiving
To bring the princes to naught....





plenilunar

Plenilunar
2-2-15

Come the main yard of our mainmast
I hand out my card
And go on another fast
Leeward toward the side
To which the wind is blowing
For God omniscient and all knowing
All peninsular to us ones passion
To pray for peace
Chewing dried meat
In a house of disrepute
Being fruitful in every good work
Being weaned from milk
But still wanting it for my Oreo cookies
This evening come the reconciling work
What a great conflict I have for you
For hearts knit together in love
For the Godhead incarnate
Leeward
Ambiguous....






Binnacle
2-2-16

Fear has a glare
Cheer has another chair
For Horace cogent and quite convincing
On my sternway and our backyard movement
Have you not known all that is carved in stone
Today I go to town without a need to go west
Have ye not heard it is He that sit upon the circle of the earth
I can always flip back the tracks
And recapture what I have missed
For binnacle and its helm
For matrons and gigolos
Have ye not understood
Christ, the fount of all wisdom....

katallasso

Katallassso
2-2-16

For our reconciling work
All are worthy even the jerk
And you who were once alienated
To reconcile all things unto himself
For a worm of hope
He is before all things
And by him all things consist
Hearts knit together in love
What a great conflict I have for you
For a hangman's rope
And the danger from persuasive words
Absent in the flesh
But with You in Spirit
Incarnating the fullness of Christ
The fount of wisdom
Of our fragmentation....




Biggish
2-2-16

Nobody's fault but mine
O, would it be easier if I had someone to blame
Cut you loose from a chain gang
The workmen melt a graven image
And the goldsmith fashions another statue
To whom will he liken God
Or what likeness will you compare unto Him
Quote the Scriptures
Keep them guessing
A whole new ballgame
Lengthened to Him as less than nothing
If such a thing can be
With shattering of the fragments
Yet biggish, yet benevolent
Yet bestial
He that is impoverished
Chose a tree that won't rot
So walk ye in him...





At The Chime Of Nine
2-2-16

In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge
The bible is more than a textbook in any collage
Making known the riches of the glory of this mystery
On another solid and jammed packed day for the magistrate
Come creed of the devil
Inscribed in our minds
At the chime of nine
Soon I'm ready to go
Seedy, shabby and worm out some reel
In a rainbow trout yet ovoid
And sometimes paranoid yet ovate
It is nothing to hate
Somewhat disreputable and squalid
Cogent convincing and valid
In the shadows of Sulphur
May us strike a match....





Atropos

For Atropos
2-2-16

To inhere to be innate
To retard and to impede
To hand out my card
To see to the need
All for disapprobation
For warside tower
We have spoken the truth
O, Gentian and you gregarious
Our slackening of tempo for Atropos
And the fates
The cutter of the thread of destiny
It's a beautiful day
For a thaw in the body of his flesh
Through death to present us holy and blameless
In his sight
It looks like a good one for Christ
The fount of wisdom....





On Colossians 1:19
2-2-16

Off with my Dell
And on with my old school apple
To them God willed
To make known the riches of the glory of this mystery
To plant another gentian
In and out the valley variously colored
Ten true summers begin right now
If we can see it that way
For the name of the harness
Our Pleiades
The open cluster of Taurus
Only six stars visible to the naked eye
For seven illustrious individuals
Soon I will be off and back on it
For it pleased the Father
That in Him all fullness should dwell....






pyramid

Pyramid
2-2-16

Being his counsellor
He hath taught him
Being his guide
He has fought them
Hyper-rational and misanthropic
Concerning the phone call
As I see young stars assemble
Teaching, we in the path of judgment
Hyper-rational it pleased the father
That in him all fullness should dwell
Today ought to be a good one
To pyramid such on a widening base
Behold the nations are as a hole in the bucket
Counted as small dust of the balance
Home we can be
Hyper-rational....




Redriff
2-2-16

The teacher travels to be shown the same topic of discussion
Bestiality coming quickly to terms
As Lebanon is not sufficient to burn
Nor the beasts thereof for an offering
That you might walk worthy fully pleasing
Win by the faith that stands to reach over the sun
For the diver yet abstentious
For the analogy authenticated
O, redriff where is your readiness
Holding out hands for steadiness
For redpoll and finch
Today ought to be a cinch
Abstemious
Ambiguous
Estranged
Alienated....




nefarious

Nefarious
2-2-16

Plowing into Colossians
Built in goddess the words upon the page
The language can be an idol
The grass wither and the flower fades
But the Word of our God shall stand forever on Zion
That bring good tidings
Get thee up into the high mountain
Be not afraid
Say unto the cities of Judah
Behold your God
For his preeminent glory
Since we weary of your faith in Christ
And of your love for all the spirits
Yet nefarious
Get thee up into the high mountain
Lift up thy voice with strength
Lift it up...





Behold Your God
2-2-16

Don't we not
Make the cup again hot
Behold your God
Learn of what He is not
See the story lie
Love your flapper
Showing disdain for conventional dress
Tell me plainly
The sun is up
Behold he comes with a strong hand
And his arm shall rule
Behold His reward is with Him
And his work before Him
Incurious lacking inquisitiveness
He shall feed the flock like a shepherd
And gather the lambs with His strong arm
To do no harm and gently lead those that are with young
Yesterday is a wonderful success....






Visible
2-2-16

The story is told of silence between notes
And empty spaces to build the shiny tower
He shall carry them is His bosom
And water again our flower
Yet sultanic yet antediluvian
In that the era before the flood
Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord
Hath measured the waters in the hallow of his hand
To mete out heaven with a span
To comprehend the dust
Learning from Epaphras
Our dead fellow servant
The ways of the wise
Who hath measured the waters
In the hallow of his hand
On earth
Visible.....






slumber

Shepherds Slumber
4-23-16

Martha welcomes him
I'm sorry baby
But I cannot afford to stay
Thy hath multiplies thy merchants
As fire devoureth thee
And the sword is cut off
Make thyself merry
Like the cankerworm upon our fool's cap
To hang our bells for another truncheon
And our cudgel and our bludgeon
But for what but to beat the heat soon coming
Reeled from Sabre-stroke
When doth our glory fade
No more lies
No more phony alibies
Go and do likewise
Sheep wall for tomorrow is the Lord's day.....





Avail Yourself (Side Salad)
4-23-16

Deliver us from the evil one
And may us see again the light of the sun
No more lackadaisical
Repeats are good just as well
In that we have stories to tell
Yeah, I love my music
Like poetry it is my cord
For the worthiness of self reformation
And the parable of the persistent friend
To this love there is no end
We sleep to affirm and to be reassured
Considering the force of its reflection
Thy nobles shall dwell in the dust
O, dim color and frayed light slower now
Sunrise, I can't complain
God be amongst us today....





plumes

Of Plumes To Cool
4-23-16

O, my purple haze
And O, my yellow white maize
To boil up later on
When hot or cold
You know it from Pentecost
To rapture
We're already there
No mid-trib nor post-trib
May it go down in my crib
Soon we will be there
Laodocean
But no more quite as complaisant
Was there a man dismayed
When cold need a blanket
When hot, a drink of cold water
To be as a man in love
Invitation or decision
He invites us
Reconciliation causes doors to open
Be kind to one another
It may when sea-winds pierce our solitude....






Blooms In A Damp Nook
4-23-16

Being a Baptist
Offenses close these doors
Our experience as people
I got a lot of good sermons out of it
As ones intimate decision
To step forward and kneel at the altar
Standing at the door
I knock at your heart
I've got more ashes than Wednesday
A plan to plea
Indeed I can today just be me
Lose power and burn out
Sometimes overwhelmed
With high doses of truth
It's all hard stuff, my man
Leading to a statement
And then a cause
For something more
In prayers for my image
A gift of love
Finding fresh Phodora in the woods
I wouldn't miss it for the world....






Denouncing The Indifferent
4-23-16

Likewise a Levite
A beacon, another bright light
We pass by on the other side
Crimson stains are all washed white
One thing is needed
Many have chosen that good part
Which cannot be taken away
Sin keeps our doors closed
O, my purple haze
It's only you
See what love can do
Clapton said this
By the parable of the good Samaritan
To see a smile on every face
And to render grace in the gospel
Super was a long time
We need our fellowship
Jesus will sup with you
Invite him to hack out your front door
To be true....






go your way

Go Your Way
4-23-16

Draw thee waters for the siege
Fortify all strongholds
Go into clay and tread the mortar
I still use my computer for a stereo
And put on another Clapton record
Let these words sink down into your ears
For in heaven there will be no such doubts or fears
Humility, the secret of greatness
Go your way
Behold I send you
As lambs amongst wolves
As I see new hues of green
I stand at the door and knock
Once a stone and now a rock
So rock on Christian
Forgiveness is the key to every lock
Draw thee waters for the siege....




First Say, "Peace!"
4-23-16

Ready to eat, count on it
Ready to read, sing and worship tomorrow
And many more happy returns
Today I just can't lose
There a fire doth devour thee
And the sword cut thee off
The dry hear my voice and open the door
I come in and sup with Him
God make me a blessing to mother
The kingdom is near
The very dust of your city
Which clings to us
We wipe off for you
First say, "Peace!"
Then walk and shake the dust from off your feet
Further on up the road
Tomorrow I make the scene
Come deeper hues of green.....






On Revelation 3:21 (behold this)
4-23-16

Many as the locusts
Mistaken as the cicadas that sing early
Flashing all our sabers bare
I'm ready to go
Foxes have holes and birds have nests
Where we are put through a series of tests
Further on up the road
Soon will sing as well frog and toad
Devouring the indifferent
And you, Capernaum exalted to heaven
May us roll another six and seven
Commanded to lie down for an hour
Because the truth is hard to swallow
You might be wondering why do I wallow
I wonder where I'm going to
He that overcome
I grant to sit with me
On my throne
Open the door....





volley

Volleyed And Thundered
4-23-16

Into the valley of life
Rode the four thousand
In another dream of going off to war
And all the world wonders
For all spoil and plunders
Looking for Alfred Tennyson
Half a league onward
Forward, the Light Brigade!
For the disciple that Jesus loved
Speaking of his decease, exodus and departure
Kicking it with some Clapton this morning
Plunged in the battery smoke
Russian and Cossack
There is nothing we need lack
Rambling on my mind  for good lobster
Humility is the secret of greatness
This is my beloved Son
Hear Him!




Still Sleeping
9-23-16

Passing though Samaria again
With a case of poetic malaria
With my inexpensive pen for discipleship tested
And money invested
Perceiving the thought of their heart
Taking up a little child
To show us the greatest of the kingdom
O, go and preach
Such as strongholds will be like fig trees
Feeling hunger for the truth and understanding
And another Saracen
Come down on your own
Let the dead bury their own
No one looking back is fit
And this will be as our first aid kit
Healing wounds and sadness
By seventy are sent two by two
Charge for the guns!




how do you feel?

I Ask How You Feel About It
4-14-16

Oftentimes he could be seen Returning paper of money is just dust
Trust not in such
At the seas resign to depart
Emphasize the word optional
It's an open communion here
And we can partake without fear
Down along the cove
As one to ramble and rove
Last sermon on the series
New journals using one-twenties
Do you really mean it
When you don't know the time of day
She will give it to you
Where we have set the clouds straight
It is not good for a man to be alone
O, why
O, just because....





Let Stand Ten Minutes
4-14-16

O, make these sessions meaningful
For the big fat moon is upon us
Strong, bring that coffee cup over here
Let it stand ten minutes to cool
And call no man master and no man fool
I sometimes scare myself for the time I cracked
For the time I left public school
It's the loving time that spares me
For fresh air my east windowsill
Caught by the leaf piles
I nose dive into something that is far off
Back on my feet to an uplifting riff and beat
In me in my hope
Call no man fool.....

mansion

Do We Get A Mansion?
4-14-16

These must first be proven
For in thirst I am moved
Please don't put a price on my soul
Where all is well today
Holding the mystery of faith in good conscience
With much to buy and sell
Our peal of bells
The way we feel
As the goiter swells
Do all you can
If we get a mansion
Do we get our own personal space too
I'm not about to argue
So yet set the standard
For His is meant to be true
I won't underestimate
You rethink the power of togetherness
A three strand cord is not easily broken
Essential to live the life today
Rather prosperous....




Laodecean Ordinances
4-14-16

Let me just warn ye all
Stay free from covetousness
O, what's popular culturally
But to make a house a home
Dwelling with my cat for two ordinances
Not sacrifices
Baptism and the Lord's supper
O, why do we even bother
We are not to be as Calvanist
But whose to judge
See the need and take the lead
Heaven like ironsides
And tears like the morning drizzle
Emphasize the word essential
For repentance and not preference
Unless you want it to be
Aren't you glad the it's just grape juice
Doctrine is the glue that holds it together...



legislature

Legislature
4-14-16

You tell me what it means
Let the feast begin if you're in the mood
For legislature and perverted nature we seek to rise above
In joy, peace and love
Sure I'm saved because I've tasted grace before
With faith as a grain of mustard seed
In the corner of my eye
A grain of sand
Compared to the rest of eternity
It is close to nothing
Reaching out somewhere
Toiling in the morales of despair
Like Cain I now behold this chain rogue judges
Try to play God at the chime of eleven
I recall a dream of a fishing rod
Always choose life....





Reboot Again
4-14-16

Say unto this sycamore tree
O, be uprooted and it will
Computer rebooted  and sunshine on my windowsill
Humble yourself as a little child
And enter the kingdom of heaven
In the broken mirror of innocence
I hear the ancient footsteps another time
It's only me hanging in the balance
It's a beautiful day
And I must go out to experience it
That we justify our weakness
It's a narrow book with much information
About what is to be
Ugly as it is necessary
Forgive them and pick the locks
With the keys of mercy
For God is bigger than your hurt
Between the leather bindings
There is room for everyone....






On Matthew 8:7 (dig this)
4-14-16

Frankie Lee, my brother of another mother
Foaming at the mouth where things need not go south
God is bigger than any of such hurt
Nothing is revealed but to those who choose to see it that way
Make it through another workday
This is my job to but testify
And request the office of a deacon
So I can make of myself a beacon
If we were given a mansion
I suppose we'll need to keep it in order
God always has a proving ground
Come personal and relevant issues
Neglected in many congregations
And the rain descended
I will come and heal him.....




Kurios

Kurios
4-14-16

Tell me to have a good one
I don't like when they say take care
For a brass, glass and good one
Sometimes life is cruel to be fair
Tell me all I need to know
You're my sunny day
Turn your love my way
My shortest letter to you
Of where the wind blew
It's nothing new
Do men gather olives from cherry trees
Softly shaking as I wait for fresh sweetness
To buffalo the system and stay behind
To do just this
Pedagogic and studious
So is my bliss
O, Kurios will you be kind for keeps
Like sepulchral statues lay
His evident sanction.....





Let's Get On With It
4-14-16

So must filthy lovers' souls descend
Get on with your life
And leave those women behind
As the authority of the king manifested and rejected
Spending most of my time in my books
Call him that we may eat bread
Bringing a new confusion
Given Zipporah rearing a son, Gershon
I am a stranger in a strange land
O, fill troughs of water
Our father's flock
I thank God for words today
So that I might prophesy and pray
Lord if you are willing
You can make me clean
So it's back to basics
And the effect of the sermon on the hearers....






Easier Said Than Done
4-14-16

The angel appears to us in a burning bush
Get on with your life
Even if you still wander
For time today to kill and squander
Jesus will outshine them all
So I rehash all lukewarm cash
In all alchemy
Turning sorrow into joy
Leading the flock
To the backside of the desert
Grind smells O, futile sea
For all the use you are
Along a strand of brown hair
Into Horeb
I'm coming home to you
Still working on this at the break of day
Take the shoes from off your feet
For the place you stand is holy ground
Given emissaries
We cannot please them all....

peaceable

Peaceable
4-14-16

Solomon was peaceable
He did speak in ancient verse
Reaching out to the universe
Not afraid to learn new words
For Yours Amen only comes today in my pen
Sufficient for the day is its own
Trouble, O the cure for care
Do you worry about your life
Don't be as a Benedict Arnold
So a preacher writes a sermon about it
Some people see it from the beginning
Pedantic and dogmatic
It's another beautiful day to say
I have not gone astray
I'll know what to do
When the time comes into view
Come the ninth hour
See, this is new...






Creation In Progress
4-14-16

Of tranquil mirth
Of serenity and rebirth
For what it's all worth
And what I am now
I can't quite see
Vision forgets
What is real on the city streets
Because what I am now is just me
In a place called then and there
All for crushed pizza at Sabarro
Chasing the reason
She melts her cheese
Only strength can do justice
Creation in progress
A new moon
Let me make things kind and rational
To see what's on my mind
A love of a higher kind
Like a tree at the rate of a steady breeze
Two ways contrasted
Time for that Irish Spring....






At Breeze's Rate
4-14-16

Downtown sleeping behind the wheel
On the boulevard a smile to cover up the frown
Where all things heal in strife and in peace
I pray and not cease
You will know them by their fruits
For middle ground in an Allman Brothers writing session
No matter how hard I run
The devil gets in my way
And the rain descended and floods came
And Jesus again ascended
At a new beginning or another line skew
In the new you
We are of the few
Therefore by their fruits you know them
O, do we gather figs from thistles?




bassompierre

Bassompierre
4-14-16

There is none to console
Down in my hole
I set a new and realistic goal
Adversaries round about Him
Until we begin to doubt Him
The secret of stealing the world
The wisdom of pearls in your eyes
For these things I rejoice as it greets me
Waking to the power yet authorial
Behold I know my consolation
Fastening our seatbelts
For another ride out yet authentic
Let us get me some of that bassompierre
For religious ostentation rebuked
Take me out into the morning dew
And I'll meet you there
Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
For charitable deeds....





Comus
4-14-16

Subscribe now
For modernization putative
Our solecism such a nonstandard
Everybody wants some
In our breach of good etiquette
As inflammable as can be
The wood is wet
Good only to float downstream
A sound that makes you smile
Your temple is your harmony
Behold my bowels are loosened
Where I call for my lovers but they deceived me
In this manner therefore pray
Our Father in heaven
Hallowed by thy name
O, let it change you
Laying up treasure in heaven
Deliver us from the evil one
You cannot serve both God and mammon
O, Comus where is the compassion....






Ninety-three Million Miles Away
4-14-16

Another astronomical unit
Is travelled straight into the sun
Voices say do not despair
Glad to see you again to walk the final distance
Into a new beginning
Fear is losing and faith is winning
We put it to the test
My enemies hear of my trouble
As soon I obliterate all beard stubble
Thou has called and they shall be like unto Me
And heaven is here and now
And no more unjust criticism
Judge not that ye be not judged
Which of you by worrying
Can add one hour to one's life
I can feel the earth
As God so clothes the grass of the field....





fast balm

Fast Balm
4-14-16

Dreamers represent this arch of peace
Plenty of plans constantly changing
As the light shines so bright
To bridge our soul's devotion
Of what we are with a fast balm
Which thence did spring
Carrying on
Lilies, I'll know what to do
When the time comes
A portion right
Broken teeth the dentist numbs
In the passion in the hope of everyone
For lust and battery in anyone who tries to teach
Tell me a little bit about you
For penury and retaliation we steer clear
Swear not at all....




Drachma And Aureus
4-14-16

Today we follow the sun
In a new way we can be as one
My love's rebirth
Truth is a simple place
A tranquil mirth for all that it's worth
For obols and drachmas
That ring in my pocket for these things
I rejoice only to give it into the treasury
I will find reason and a place to begin
Zion spreads forth her hands
As God has trodden underfoot
As mighty men in the midst of me
At the chime of eight-seventeen
Soon I get a call from my old man
Let your yeah be yeah
It will be a good day
Our eye-beams twisted....

rippling

Rippling Through
4-14-16

Remember what has been
Achieved in water to drink and time to think
Amidst the shining ever changing route of consciousness
There is a note taken down of humorous qualities
And the sun is truly up upon my hope for another prolific one
On three gears at one time
It's the way you are
And there is no going too far
I did not come to destroy but to fulfil
Glad to know that I'm not the only one that stays behind
In appreciation of this freewill
As surely understood the beauty of the neighborhood
And the swirl of the picture
For changes made
Rippling through...





On Another Mission In The Sunshine
4-14-16

Computer back up and running
For the coffee of the scenery's brightness
Any way you want it to go
So be it
Live it up fast and slow
First reconciliation
Their sacrifice as whether or not
You can render your dreams in tandem
Cutting through the air with a mind that stirs up sediment
And more of what we are in Him
Seeds correctly sown
And a single thread of the average backpack
Soon to pack to go home to Mother
Thinking of many possible subdestinations
Leave your gift before the altar and go your way....



tattoo

Tattoo Your Heart
4-14-16

Pour out what God pours in
Score doubt
Even when I lose I win
Light out, sunup
Adam was a farmer
I nuke again my coffee cup
Today I lighten the load in more ways than one
Ghosts are as strangers
Let the Spirit change us from the inside out
Tattoo your heart with miracles
And scar your soul with moments of musical joy from above
He sent fire into my bones
And it prevails against us
They are wreathed and come up
Upon my neck with anticipation
My own poetry is as music to my eyes
Throw the stones of inspiration....




Love Your Selene
4-14-16

The yoke of my transgressions
Is bound by his hand
He makes my strength to fall on the coasts of Lake Constance
Bordered by Germany and Austria
We find our gaper and it's another beautiful day
Of roan and sorrel, chestnut and bay
And soft sheepskins of leather
I used to see things in a very different way
Now I find myself in you
O, Endymion
Love your Selene
Oboles and drachmas in my pocket
Calling the assembly against us
Heading out again into sunshine
Cast the spell to make them see....




nestorian

Nestorian
4-13-16

From the daughter of Zion
All her beauty is departed
Come ones orthography
According to the accepted usage for flotage
And its buoyancy
I don't need to deal with it
If such is what I choose not to do
Bookmark in Lamentations
To get the message back to you
Perchance as torches
Like a pillow on the bed of mahogany porches
Freewill is a beautiful thing
When you finally understand
For the meter of all Greeks our hypostasis
That the poet and scholar seeks
And anything distinguished
As a flame extinguished
I am what I am by such
As I get back in touch....




She Did Sigh And Turn Backward
4-13-16

O, Scarebleu
Can I yet scare you
O, Parbleu
It is nothing new
In our taxonomy
Sciences of classification
Jerusalem grievously sinned
Therefore she is removed
All that lean on her despise her
Because of her nakedness
As I choose to remain pure and chaste
and let not all of such go to waste
She did sigh and turned backward
Remembered in the day of her affliction
While it was still dark
The stone is taken away
Rain on the ground
As the thirst of life
I'll see you around
If I can steer clear of the strife
As the change of season persists
And love still exists.....





For Holy Smoke
4-13-16

Living in contentment
David did to all for me and you
In a sky of clear blue
We sing O, feed me now
And in hunger we are shown how God blessed us
In spite of us
Count masters under the yoke for holy smoke
In the morning I turn on some Maiden
Dawn was a former future study
Get books on the Roman Empire
And pray for the boss
That all is level at the cross
Now on the first day
No great loss
God pours it in
So you can pour it out.....






triturate

Triturate
4-13-16

Today I abound
At bay all is sound
Going the Way for the lost and found
To triturate and reduce it into fine particles
To lose the hate and cherish all of such divine articles
To comminute and to yet reboot
Leper for self diagnostics
I stand my ground and I have tomorrow
All day to do my thing
And I have a million and one reasons to sing
Monolithic with rigidity and invulnerability
Without Christ your cross will crush you to powder.....




Well Fed (To Practice Peace)
4-13-16

Come the resurrection
And such events of such a day
When another sinner repents
I say not this to anyone's shame
Mary Magdaline goes to the tomb early
As so my hair will be naturally curly
Genteel and well-bred
Elegant and eloquent and well fed
For monolith and obelisk
Soon I put on another compact disc
Formed on a single block of stone
Yet to mix and mingle but not all alone
Where her adversaries are chief
And I can talk to a friend about it
For facecloth and handkerchief
I risk my tail
And drive in another nail
My dream thou broke it not...





My Block Of Stone
4-13-16

Her enemies prosper
As I smart for it
Getting off to another good start for it
Her beauty is departed into territory uncharted
And soon I meet you there
In my new shirt clad and glad
Like harts that find no pasture
Gone without strength before the pursuer
O, behold your mother and O, love your brother
Come the events that follow
O, so hard to swallow
I'm free at last
Do not cling to me
In ways broad and vast
For I have not yet ascended
Meet me there soon
And we will think about it
As if going to the Washington Monument monolithic....




widgeon

Widgeon
3-1-16

Part of living in America
Is to recognize our limitations
Where freedom isn't free
Looking for Dedanus Burke
To but make things work
To express or extinguish
Quietly where the shadows lurk
Given the gift of scotepia
I feel my way around for my dark chocolate M&M's
And my Baldwin apples of yellow and red skin
To stifle, avoid and disregard
We still make it hard
Another anthem of anthers and stamens
Building another Parthenon
For my feelings often violated
All for our daldrate widgeon that's low
The light gets in them that sail
Thou walk on the way safely
Ducks now fly north
And we pour our hearts forth....





Unkempt (But I Like It)
3-1-16

Murky, dark and dim
My bangs might need a trim
Yet ragged and unkempt but I like it
Only a chattel in the mind of one that does it to himself
Of hazy mist and fog and in my throat a frog
Half way between Mount Wolf and Red Lion
By the wreathes of greed I have no idea
But at least I have a sense of the present tense
Greener grass on the other side of the fence
Isn't it beautiful
Jewels in plain sight
O, is leather murder so I still inquire
Yet demographic, another good page-turner
If one has the attention span to but grasp it
I am the guardian wraith of starlit smoke rising
Full of the joy of living
Sail on....






de novo

De Novo
3-1-16

Let them not depart from thine eyes
Keep them in the midst of your heart
A smile speaks a sermon
For American diplomats and jurists
Let your light so shine before men
Even if it's only a pen
Say not unto neighbors
Go and come again
Now the time has come to peace
For prescience and foresight
And another wonderful night
Rising before sunrise
O, Spalding where is your sincerity
O, Gravity where is the grace
Ring the bells
That still for rain de novo and anew
I hold my breath till my face turns blue
But at least I still love you....




Airburst
3-1-16

For the resumption of beginning again
The signs were sent and I learn how to repent
For rural matters agricultural
I pay again the rent
All agrarian in the morning garrulous
O, the widowhood of every government yet unorthodox
For our airburst my dire thirst
Don't think I leave for the outer dark
Remember the mirth
For a short time on earth
I may return
In that before I was satisfied
Till heaven and earth pass away
Not one dot or tittle will disappear from sight
Looking for the smiths and masons
On my journey meeting other Jasons
To strike up the march
Where there is no drunk
For the resumption....





ephemeral

Ephemeral
3-1-16

As anyone whom had ever broken the branch
As I dip my carrots tonight in southwestern ranch
Thirst or hunger
To the point of all covetousness
In the intemperance of my human side
God was one hundred percent man just as well
Managing to continue
O, what is it I'm trying to say
Or am I just rambling
Seeds for my Guatemalan parakeet
Polly wants a wheat cracker to nibble on
Between our tastings
Having in his talon clutch
I have need to be in this presence
By imaginative forces
This place is like a drug
A remedy to the infirm
I am no man but a worm.....





Compromise Of 2016
3-1-16

Busted in the blinding lights of closing time
O, hang up all of the chairs
Last one out locks up
Adam and Eve put out of the park
I'm bound away
Forgetting the myth
After one-of-them's proverbial success
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad
I love you now
There's nothing left for prescient of criteria
Holy meaning set apart but not flawless
Sacred as being as separate for the compromise
Let your light so shine before men
For writers and analysis
Knowing actions before they occur
It's a challenging seminar
Going on over there
Our settlement of differences
In which each side makes concessions
Let it stand ten minutes before you attempt to take a sip....





clothed

Clothed
3-1-16

O, breathe in that suburban air
Preferring the aroma of horse dung
And new mown grass
Assumptions of us make an ass out of you and me
But we manage to pass
If you reach out and grab it
It's just for today, hold it
You're going to need me as long as we're not stuck
In a bitter jam on the intersection of goat and ram
He told us that the answers are found
But as a matter of kingdom we remain silent
Just be for real
Delivered out of Egypt
The family of Matri is chosen
I just would like to believe
How will you tell me
As Samuel calls people together
Unto the Lord at Mizpeh
We seek him early and he is to be found
O, the naked truth clothed
Just be for real.....





Avoirdupois Pood
3-1-16

Of avoirdupois pood
Of Russian weight
Our thirty-six pound heavy mood argotic
Devised for private communication
And Saturday on acid for reflux remedies
Down the snakes and up the ladders
He hid himself with his stuff
They shouted, "God save the king"
Samuel told the people the matter of the kingdom
And wrote it in a book
O, how can this man save us
Nahash comes up to encamp against Jabeshgilead
O, with us make your covenant
On one condition
Thrust out all your right eyes
But still manage to see it crystal clear...





Thorn apple for Nathaniel
3-1-16

Hoping that my main man is on tonight
I can't say much has happened since
For jimsonweed of oak like leaves
Redeem them one at a time
Our tubular flowers
And beside ourselves to think to have powers
Our thorn apple for Nathaniel
What do you get out of this
Says a still small voice
I lay down last night and sleep was sweet
Lay it for a reproach
Declaring that the body is real
And we will hurt and rejoice together
For our prickly fruit
I love it too much to give in without a fight
I only see it this way and it's good to be here....

sheepcote

Sheepcote Revisited
3-1-16

Sheepcote and shelter
All in helter-skelter
Yet purchased platters of files on the road
For our contretemp
Our unseen event for goat nut and her jojoba
Am I making any sense
Or do I go astray
She is a tree of life
To those that cry help upon her
More precious than gold that doth perish
O, Friture where is your faith
Yes, I ramble and digress
Sometimes you need to start
On the other side of the mountain
Blessed are they that grieve
And yet crave the fountain on the Marne
We weave with sufficient yarn
Yet to frivol
They probably don't know too much about it.....






Enrolled Again
3-1-16

Give me Stalin and Saint Paul
She's not a queen after all
Enrolled without mine presence
Today I know the gift afresh
After I failed again
I hit the books again
To do my word study
For the cross that is still drenched and bloody
They don't know I exist
But I'm still on the list in contrescarpe
Looking sharp for opposite leathery leaves
For bass, trout and carp
O, Sancerre
Do you love or do you fear
For Tuileries and one more round of flurries
O, Aosta do you have another authentic alliteration
For them to dispose of as they please
I wait to catch the water clear if I may
Where drab weed lacks
where they knock at the dyestuff
Enrolled again....





Begging For Chrome
3-1-16

Calling all butterflies with wounded wings
I share my mayonnaise
As the forest so sings
For the theme of wanton waste
Picking on Robert Frost
Like pulling nose hairs
Nothing left to do when you're begging for chrome
Analogy Dioecious
A God without gender
For Porist and its continuation
Blessed are the merciful
Waiting for a miracle
We need at least one every day
A candle is not hidden under a bushel
But on the top of the hill
We've been alone too long
Thanks for asking
Let's do something crazy
This is a heluva lot better
When you're begging for chrome....





dejavu

Better Deja vu Revisited
3-1-16

Thank you for asking
And not masking
We shall walk in the way safely
Be not afraid of sudden fear
As far as dead ears can hear
Keep the heart with all diligence
For out of it comes the issues of life
Hear ye children and come and see
All for better Deja vu
Today I just be me
Senses reeling
When I get that strange feeling
Under night
The stars are burning
Here I can catch a huge prize of praise
Three worlds deep
I finally got some sleep
I don't judge by size anymore
I only judge by what I know
O, take it easy and take it slow....






Up In Smoke
3-1-16

Baby do you notice my trembling
Baby do you get my joke
Moving smooth only to respect you
But it all goes up in smoke
Enrolled outside my room
To love and shine
Get ready for the future
It is as resurrection
My spiritual grandfather spots me a drink
And I have plenty of time to think
Withhold not good for them to it is due
Above all average grades
I make for Peter's and Paul's sake
They weren't talking about me after all
Our Auteuil and our Gape du Noro on the seine
It doesn't need to be insane
All for our Garganey
For ones Prunelle
I love today the language
Picking on Robert Frost
You don't know me
From the wind we still strive against....






16

Sixteenth Spiritual Birthday (Soon)
2-25-16

Tomorrow afternoon
Prayer nap
Don't try to call
She'll be here soon
What ever such a thing might mean to you
Our large upper room made ready for the Passover
It doesn't need to mean our gloom
Saved sixteen years in May of sixteen
Electrical charges are about us
Flesh happy for Oreos
Spirit hungers for the Word
All for such weal and woes
This so is my sixteenth true year
Plowing into Joel
It's a far cry from the way we thought
We'd share it....





Eat Not Raw Or Sodden
2-25-16

Our God is a consuming fire
O, the madness
Safe from the elements of all melancholy sadness
You can almost feel the torrent of a new awakening
A good morning is answered with a cat scratch from her back claws
Blood on the door of the house
To make sure it was a pure lamb
For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cloven
Where beautiful mysteries are interwoven
A shelter from the elements
I give God thanks at least for this
Time to put away the books and wait
Looking outward...





Rig

Rig Said, "Look!"
2-25-16

Big red book
Of Rig said, "Look!"
In grace punishment is always taken care of
I saw it, yeah
By David and Goliath
Jesse says, "Take this food
And deliver it to our brothers"
Novelties remain in the midst of the grain
Two bonus tracks and seven more packs
That too many know about in the space between wonder and doubt
When I get home I will be thankful for anything
Choose a man and have him to come on down
A fine line between love and illusion
The ledge between wishes and fact
The gap between actor and act
Yes, our champion is taken down
But by a sling
We do our thing....





Many More Novelties
2-25-16

O, whiter sun
O, cigarette lighter like a gun
The feast of unleavened bread drew nigh
The battle is in your head
And still many ask, O why
Like the light of the midwinter moon
The days are getting longer
And lovers of light grow stronger
I ransom them from all death
So let me stop here for awhile and catch my breath
The flag flies all the way down to the ground
But I pay no mind to such a sound
Ephraim feedeth on the rain
I am no better than this
Judas seeks to betray him
Passover supper
O, halelujiah
For the function and the form
And an ounce of perception at half speed
I look out there for our Dodge
The meaning as a memorial
And another place to write
Burned down halfway....






print

Print This
2-25-16

And we'll print
May it be our helpful hint
I will crank them out
You are alive in us
We need to step to the kingdom come
Hope beyond the world and its troubles
I am as one for blowing bubbles
We are more than conquerors
As so today I succeed now that the shades are open
So I do, wow, this coffee is jolt
So was the title of a number
I wrote by another lightning bolt
God wants us to get it
And novelties remain
And snow fades back into rain
Print this......






One More Square
2-25-16

One more square before I go
To accompany my banana and your blackberry
Be sweet and stay merry
We operate in change
Seeming cruel but fair
The fire speaks the words before she is brought to the ground
I'm a writing man for her candy stripe
Where the fruit at last is ripe
When the tough get going the tough show up
And you let me go
O, bless it according to the goodness of his land
They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt
One more square just to but prove it.....







wood, awake

Wood, Awake
12-9-15

Already blew it
Six cigarettes and going on seven
We will get throught it
God wants us to live life more abundantly
Show your scars
They afflict the just
And take a bribe
As we say a prayer for the other half tribe
Soon I will be on my way
Going out to get her
A feminine pronoun referring to my tall cup
Pressing him to your bottle
Breaking your teeth on the hard life
Coming will not your creditors
Rise up suddenly
Saying to Wood, "Awake!"





On Habakkuk 2:15
12-9-15

To die hard and to live soft
I hand out my card upon my left
Therefore is your treading upon the poor
You can tread on me even when I'm sore
Of ones Nott our Tranter
Definitions not listed
I wait on the Lord open fisted
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time
Remember to tell the truth
And about such write your rhyme
I can see the positive to celebrate the negative
Call me dark as today I shine forth my spark
Behold it is overlaid with silver and gold
Much ado about nothing
O, was it worth it
That you might look on his nakedness...






answer

The Answer Of God
12-9-15

Write the vision
Make it plain in these tablets
I pray that I will live long enough
To get around to it
With my infinite resources
And crazy obstacle courses
And red and speckled horses
For good and evil forces
Forasmuch therefore
One more before I go on out
To fill my gas tank with unleaded
The slave becomes the master
Another Metallica lyric but no such disaster
Pressing him to your bottle
Shifting gears of a lawnmower into throttle
Tomorrow I stay home so I can save a few dollars
For the offering plate
Sounds like a plan....




Making Mother Strong
12-9-15

Right now and ever after
Need more and more for our stifled tears and laughter
Such is power when such is pure
For I know your manifold transgressions, namely me
But such is not my identity
Behold, it is the Lord of hosts
As so my cat chases spirits and ghosts
Heaping up for himself all peoples
When you get home be good to yourself
In eating and getting some rest
And in your heaven invest
Praying without ceasing
She says I pass the test.....






cowcumber

Behold The Proud (Cowcumber)
12-9-15

Of narcissistic fade away
Such has its layers
For nihilistic going astray
We pray for all of our platters
O, cowcumber where is your milkweed
They hate him that rebuke in the gate
And abhor him that speak uprightly
Still praying without ceasing for the neighborhood
Needing more and more
For our new consequence machine
Send him that makes the seven stars of Orion
And say a prayer for brother Brian
It's crazy what I could have had
Turning the shadow of death into a new morning
I'll have one more before I go
I lost count
But I will not punish myself over it....





A Spinster (I Meet)
12-9-15

Will they not awaken that oppress you
Are they not forsaken whom caress you
Time to call up Father and Stepmother to wish them well
Another spinster today I hope to meet
As we gather here today for bread and for meat
Beyond the conventional
A nameless street
But ye not drink the wine of them
Sooner or later will be a transition
To meet my new advocate
Here's one to toll for
All ye coffee lovers
And flatulence under the covers
Stating it kindly
You are filled with glory instead of shame...





self advocate

Self Advocate (Dancing In Chicago)
12-9-15

Self advocating
I tell her that I won't be going there
Using a subordinate
Where it gets much harder to please that crowd
The just shall live by his faith
As I stand up to sing out loud
That he whom runs may read
Seek the Lord and we all shall live
Lest he speak out like a fire
None to quench it
In Beth-el
Off with the dell
And on with the old school Apple
Seek ye me and you will find something of significance
And I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart.....





Seller Of Purple, The Topic
12-9-15

Seller of purple
Was the topic of conversation
And what will I answer when I am corrected
Today is the long haul
Starting out with Metallica
I can see the light even in the dark
To but scintillate my spark
Weal to him that increases
I am not twisting the Word in saying this
I open just in time to say hello
And he is like death and cannot be satisfied
Good work, so she says
And I am what I am
Blessed the day is beautiful
Even under gray skies
As a messenger of this vision
To regale is my conscious decision
God knows that I do it all for He
Increasing what is His
O, how long!
Good work!






Permitted In His Providence
12-9-15

Sorry to wake you
I just had to know
God will never forsake you
As we continue to grow
All for His will to be done
And not our own
Though permitted in his providence
That was just your life seen even in death
Let me catch my breath
You whom turn judgement into wormwood
O, could it be doing us any good!
Pressing him to your bottle
He wants us to ask for more
And I've been there as the waters cover the sea
Death, contagious deity
A fact of life...

ameliorated

Ameliorated
12-9-15

Iniquity like Asaph
I dream of stammering behind my microphone
My biff, strike and punch
My tiff, strife and lunch
Ameliorated by hope in a faith one cannot see for oneself
To regale and to entertain sumptuously with food and drink
As one to want so I can hear myself think
Thirsty and parched
Straight up yet arched
Life is getting much better
If this is what I believe
She is left alone to die
As we provide our feast for those that stand without
Look among the nations and watch
They scoff at kings....




For Chesed (Son of Nahor)
12-9-15

For descendants from Cheded
Son of Nahor and no such war
We will yet go before
Recognizing no superiors
These seeds will be planted
The city that went out a thousand
Leaves as an hundred
Enter into Gilgal
Pass not to Beer-Sheba
And Beth-el comes to nought
Then his mind changes and repents
Reassuring my thoughts
Marching through the breadth of the earth
All I can do is pray for them
Taking them up with a hook
O, how I love this book
Gathering them in their dragnet
Thank you for your love and patience
There, I said it....






azore

Azore (Azew)
12-9-15

Mesmerized as they light the flame
Our azore in our root beer float
Our nitrogen for a half rest and quarter note
For, lo he has formed the mountains and creates
The wind will drink from refreshing fountains
Soon time to call up Sister
Praying for good tidings
O, azew are you made as new
Look among the nations
And watch, be utterly astonished
Like an angel standing in the shaft of light
Today I'm going to shine
O, lead the way Lord
And tell me where to go....




From Doubt To Faith
12-9-15

For the perplexity of the prophet estimated
By the world he is hated
O, Lord you have appointed them for judgment
Don't worry about me says the still small voice
I will be at peace even if
Hear ye this Word
The world around us quiets
Praying for another Mike
Like dawn and dusk so much alike
The vision: the just shall live by faith
No one is forsaken
Yet we could be mistaken
Therefore the law is powerless
As the sailor is wise to venture....





Oracle Revisited
12-9-15

Our burden, our oracle
Statements seem just vain
A firecracker, a squib
A brief and witty writing or speech Ad lib
And I know we'll be there soon
Yet ameliorated
Glad to reach out to my community
With my lampoon for my biffins
A bitter and hasty nation
And no worry about today
I see victory
You are of purer eyes
Than to behold evil
Habakkuk by definition our embrace
Holding ones tongue when the wicked devours
I am not one to judge
Our burden, our oracle and no such grudge
I love you like a brother already....
