Denial of possession
Of that to which I'm drawn
My heavy heart sinks through regression
A king reduced to pawn
Sifting through them for a lesson
Splintered pieces all but gone
Something of an obsession
As blinding darkness wanes to dawn
Few shards remain - no question
Heaven sings their song
Still, I'd trade this fragile blessing
To someone I belong

This night,
I had seen poachers come in the heaven
and bad things done by angels with smiling
face,
And the trophy won by the sinner
in the state.
For good or ill,
I shyly select to escape

Try To Appease
Perhaps in hall closets things you hide
While others may be your joy and pride
Like flowers planted coming to full bloom
Wanting people to see outside from your room.
Colors are truly dazzling as well as bright
What people end up with is pure delight
But always ever present will be the fear
Of an anxious, hungry and delightful deer.
Big bite from flowers deer has just taken
By my gracious God have I been forsaken
God, all of nature please try to appease
As I pray for flowers' safety on bended knees.

With closed eyes she thinks
Angels wings change from black to white
Her contemplation

Ever since man walked the earth,
his foul character has caused misery,
destruction, sorrow , wars and animosity:
a warrior so fierce and mean...
that God was forced to destroy his vile,
so that kind and faithful men would obey,
and never be without hope and joy;
and He called them: His choosen people!
And those men lived by the commandments,
and the tremendous task of Jashua
was to lead the Israelites
to their Promised Land...after Moses died!
And though God found
one of them with iniquity...He forgave him;
and king Solomon grew in wisdom,
but David, on the other hand,
laid his innocence before Jehovah...
making him so God-fearing and brave!
Now, there are no more prophets like Moses
and Jeremiah ,and Job a blameless
and righteous sufferer...being tested by Satan
for his unyielding integrity to God!
If Aaron displeased God, are we to do the same...
let ourselves go unrestrained,
and worship an image to replace holiness?
There too many gods we appease...
with a servitude which can't ever be released!
