Absalom Poems

Accursed thing-cravings

Covetousness that prevails

Abiding not in God’s will

Cleaving to self-might

Absence of God’s leadership

Cause my spiritual defeat.*

*2Samuel 17:14  … For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel … to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon...Read More

"50 Words for Poe: Hysteria"




Incantation to you
Manifesting the Phantom 
with the Hysteria Paroxysm Blues

Hellfire Club got nothin’ on you
Hot hysteria paroxysms 
flying on your broom

a whole new world

Black cat purrs
You, the catnip for this girl

Through the gates of Absalom,
steed and gate did ride,
charging fast and furious
o'er centuries gone by;
peace did shout in vain,
the Lidless Prophets...
must come again,
nigh is the evening sky
but full of hope

The ramparts held fast, ballast and beam,
cannon-fire bombasting flesh and bone,
groans...Read More

I stoked every fire echoing into the mouth of arthritis?
A rhyming balm develops epileptic quasar fear?
If so, will he enter arbitration “Sold Out”?
Sleep wills She to cocoon beside you, Artemis?
Resplendent fallow flowers ecstasy coriander?
Do we sate the moons of Jupiter?

Exodus the book containing God's law
Felix reasoned with Paul found no flaw
Genesis tells of God's work of creation
Habakkuk rejoiced in God...Read More

Just which one makes you saddest mate
When you must disappoint a friend
Or when they’ve disappointed you?
I’ve pondered this a lot of late
As more and more friends meet their fate.
I shouldn’t blame them but I do,
Though not one chose to have...Read More

When two choose each the other
Having decided this, their fate
A bond, a pledge, a vow replaces
That which, unchosen, cannot wait
Even when it requires a warrior resolute,
Vitality deathless, and sacrifice continuous,
Eternal must the pledge be, or
Risk betrayal's scourge sinuous.

It is at...Read More

when he came face to face with his mighty God.

All because he had conned his brother, Esau
out of his life’s most precious...Read More

King David and Bathsheba…

David was a great king,
who sinned and took a great fall.
As lust grabbed his heart,
When Bathsheba he saw!

In his heart... he sinned as

A plan of murderous lot
was soon achieved!

This sin led to another! 
King...Read More

Absalom’s Rebellion

After Amnon raped Tamar,
who was Absalom’s beautiful sister,
Absalom plotted to kill
His incestuous, lustful brother.

to his mother’s father, the king.
Absalom’s rebellion may have been avoided, 
with punishment David failed to bring.

King David exiled Absalom;
had no part...Read More
