A Christmas Carol 24-12-2023

It was in a land many many years ago,
underneath the festive lights and fleeting snow
that a yuletide tale of love and hope
was sang like a ballad and spread like smoke.

Her eyes, a midnight blue and sprinkled with gold
and his, silvery, that flashed like tinsel.
In mutual company they found a home,
a melody sweet where their hearts

Borrow 17-12-2023

Borrow a lantern from the endless road
to illuminate the dance of a pair of shadows.
Borrow the sun from a summer's evening
to bask in its apricity in a winter meadow.
Borrow an antediluvian creek with a thousand twists and turns
to carry the flickering beacon of hope to a clandestine tryst.
Borrow a melodious tune from the bygone days

Haikus 12

[6/30, 04:32] MBJP: Awesome God!
  ( In Haiku)

I went to market,
Thousands of vegetables,
I thank(ed) God Jesus.
[6/30, 04:32] MBJP: Magnificent God!
       (A Haiku)

Plantain varieties 
Siblings of bananas,
Christ the Gardener.

Nature has its place,
Species run on their own speed,
Christ the Sustainer.

The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 12, 13 and 14

Part Twelve — Saeed Meets Giti

He reached her street, his senses fled,
As if his earthly time had sped.

The wind arose with scents so rare,
Her fragrance floating on the air.

He knew by grace of heaven above
That near him dwelt his truest love.

Swift as the breeze, to her he came,
With trembling heart and soul aflame.

Before her face

La Luce Non Era Mai Esistita, 31-12-2013

…

Ciechi per la troppa oscurità.
Ciechi per il troppo bagliore.

…

La luce non era mai esistita.

E adesso… la sua improvvisa e intensa presenza
non mi rincuora.

Premium MemberPollinator - May 12

A while ago,—you seemed a fantasy—
and like a fragmentary apparition
or a flutter flitting past my faint cognition
—to my buzzing thoughts: you the rose, I the bee. 

And though my hiving mind, admittedly,
swarmed all around a phony superstition,
(you—o’ flower), yet,—(and, malintution?
aside;)—you roused in me the gayest glee.

Now, you go as a prickle—as the sting
of a hard

Premium MemberIntoxicant - Apr 12

Love sends a signal (so intangible)
through time removed and space—more faraway
than high heavens, sun, spark of moody day
when Night her might has made immoveable. 

The bold heart beats, but shyly (:¡magical!:)
hides a gross ache—(perhaps gone quite astray)—
of love destroyed by space and time. A ray
has passed and left behind a palpable

shadow.—but time’s the healer, space

Premium MemberSome Where - Apr 12

Toppled by a bottle, collapsed upon
her painful past, asleep—but well awake!—,
unmoving, but for her mind stirred aquake,
the girl is yawning before her black dawn.

Alone, couched by a burning blanket drawn
over a conscience guilty at the stake,
slipping into the sly hands of the snake,
she sees not clearly the sickening con

which lures her slowly to her deathly

First off, Jacob was married to both Leah and Rachel when he was 84 years old
and Israel will be 84 years old in 2032.  The tribulation is referred to as both: The
time of Jacob's trouble + the 70th week of Daniel.  What we are now witnessing
'is a precursor to the seven year tribulation

I think I loved the you Before
Isn't that awful, baby?
You've worked so hard
So long
Clawing desperately toward a version
Of yourself only you could see.
I admired your efforts
Fondly watched your warming ashes,
But my heart grew heavier
Each day,
With every improvement.
Isn't that awful, baby?
I loved you Before--
We were shattered pieces in a crooked frame,
And I was never stupid, but
