The Lament of the Prodigal Son

Part of my inheritance I did receive,
Though unworthy was I that gift to conceive;
Younger in mind, and wilful in thought,
I went to a distant land and squandered what I brought.

I wasted my Father’s gift in a wanton way;
From Grace I departed, and fell far astray.
Then, passing into spiritual insensibility,
The husks of the swine I desired to share,
Whose keeper I was—yet none would spare;
I longed to eat what they were given,
Yet no man gave me aught, though I was driven.

Thus was my soul perishing, bereft of all answer,
Having lost the dignity of sonship I bore;
Not merely as a hireling, for some wage,
But even as an unworthy slave.

How shall I return, when I have no boldness to plead?
I see how my brethren thy commandments heed;
Their obedience they keep, without blame,
While I have cast away my sonship and name.

O Father, I have sinned; I have gone astray—
Yet behold my repentance, and look on me, I pray.

Walls of Paradise

Take Delight in Starlight and Bird Song

The Palm And The Arms

Sugary and luscious things are very dear,
And are, cherished  by all --the young, old
Placid and the choleric ones as well, mere ;
So are warm smiles and the words of gold,
That more than touch,embalm and console
The lost ,cold, bold, or a  grave ruffled soul !    


It is an enigma : things sweet today or now
May turn to aversion or an unbearable aught
Once relished and held treasure all far above;
A nod may convey the true relief long sought,
Like a communion between the souls fraught
With varied feel or the foiled bearing distraught !


A peaceful palm can settle what a free cannon  
Sword, or missiles aye undo in battles and war
And the victory chaser is often left still in a stun
Like a twinkling, distant yet sure hopeful a star
Heavenly mercy, love and goodness doth beam
From an honest and true genial smile, to deem.

Keeping God-search simple

—The Blade of Grass—

I sought no empyrean throne beyond the wheeling blue,
But found one adamantine dewdrop trembling in the grass.
It did not scintillate.

It beheld me.

Then every pinion became articulate flame;
The raven's augury, the blackbird's argent hymn,
Were borne upon one unoriginate Breath I could not name.

I watched the lion heave the primordial wind,
The lamb receive its inviolate ordinance.
Neither litigated Eternity.

Rain descended remembering firmament.
The brook relinquished its mountain,
Yet bore its genesis.

Then desolation entered.

No seraph sundered the stillness.

One mortal hand entered mine.

Its benignity outshone
The constellated treasury of heaven.

That night the firmament exhaled one eternal Breath.

The stars did not descend.

The earth ascended.

The adamantine dewdrop withdrew from the blade of grass.

Since then—

Wherever aught lives—

Or abides—

I have never again encountered a universe bereft of God.

Death by chocolate cake

Dinner was for two, a shared dessert meant to please
Exotically prepared, with apt name to tease
Across the table she’s testing, probing not too deep
The taste lights up her face, no secrets can it keep
Help me out she whispers, into action I leap

Beautiful in texture, already having regrets
Yielding to the craving, oh how willpower forgets

Cream runs soft and silky, soothing over ache
Her hands spoon me more, perhaps more than I can take
Obsession builds again, reaching layer of sponge
Caught in resistance, I choose to take the plunge
Oaths fill my mind, sugar high sets me dizzy
Lost in a chocolate maze, layers keep us busy
Angels driven outward, demons devour inside
This just-right moment’s gone too far to hide
Each dunk goes deeper, the wafers start to flake

Crumbling extra pleasure every scoop we make
Allies in debauchery, our bodies can’t resist
Karma, she’s a b!tch, but tonight we both insist
Ending in the bedroom where our real passion persists.

To a Helene

Of all the songs of seraph that endow 
Timely blooms and shreds of Willow bough
Tangled and untangled the gilded strings of fall
And serenest sky up so high I heard a call-
Who? Helene blooms by the distant;
Rosemary 
O' your crevice and blinks ruddy as berry
Your wanton tress and the light of dress
Bright and lucent the nightertale seems to caress
More fair and fairer that in amidst night of sky
While oft I stared you,my blind soul soar up so high
Twinkle,twinkle the jewellery of boundless æther 
And orbed blossoms of heather,I see you slither 
The theft of mine poor heart in busy hour
While of I was sniffing round your wallflower
Be lighter and be gentler to my weary heart
Thro' far and far you linger in this vapid art
Sprinkled from afar your's ray in earthly crust
Dwelt in gemmy nelumbo in midst of verdure,August
Part and impart your loveliness in dropping drips
Ah! winds it an aught from your carmine lips
Napping and wrapping beneath your shadow
So there the face of heaven; the firmamant meadow
Is now my faulty heart athrobs to revel with you
In chilly hour and lolling flower; sipping a  wintry brew

Making My Mark

The implications of my actions,
Has an impact and reactions,
Gaining the traction I need,
I feed into the actual issue,
To find the roots' shoots,
Wishing you knew how I see you,
A true reflection of grace,
Creating within this space,
As you face your struggles,
The chase tugging at nerves,
As you swerve into chaos,
An auspicious place to be,
You aught to be proud,
Endowed where you are,
Carving a name from nothing,
It's something to be marveled,
Marvelous and magnificent,
It's an imminent threat,
To those who wont let go,
The shadow tricks you,
At first you don't know,
I used them to help me grow,
Flowing within the unknown,
Shown only what I can hold,
The whole truth will overload you,
Through the old comes the new,
The view changes as you do,
Stay true to the guide inside,
It may divide you for a while,
The pile waits to be sorted,
As a distorted mind becomes aligned,
Finding its way through the dark,
My spark making a mark.

Create on Demand

Frustration fills me,
Thoughts spill into reality,
Challenging how I see,
Forcing things to be,
Pushing out energy,
Over running my entity.
Plenty of emotions,
Flow unintentional,
The conventional way taught,
I aught watch what I say.
As I watched it all play out,
Shouting inside,
"What's this all about?"
And without a doubt,
I was shown the way,
Day after day,
Creating what I say.
Playing right into the hands,
Of another's demands,
Stripping me from the land,
I came to understand.
Landing me right where I am,
Standing in the way of the plan,
In a way I know I can.
The power of one man,
Overcoming his own Creation,
Rippling through the Land,
As frustrated hands,
Learn to create on demand.

Flappy Angels

Some days, I suffer enraptured
No scornful arrow can reach so high
Flappy angels think me a spy
For what reason, why?
Is it wrong to be this happy before I die
Or should I just watch life pass me by
Too deliriously sad to offer a smile?
They just flapped and stared a while
Unable to reconcile
Then flew away
With aught more to say
But now I'm sad
And sinking fast
And maybe even a bit mad
That angels, or anyone, could think that way
And how I let them ruin my day:
Giving their flappy opinions-
Too much sway
Oh, well-
At least I've shattered dreams-
And bills to pay!
What was I so happy for anyway?!
I've got a headache
I think I'll find a place to lay
Or go jump in a lake
I bet those flappy wings were fake
And those halos: wire and 'Papier-Mâché'

First Day of Autumn

Finally it has arrived,
In spite of my imprecations
Right on time, precisely, 
Same as every year and the next,
To start the accursed descent~

Damned cold weather
Arriving in time to nature's clock,
Yet the sun still shines.

Oddly the stars stay bright,
Far off in pristine beauty~

Aught they not weep with me
Under winter moon's cold light?
Too many nights will pass
Until spring's right equinox,
Marking the world with promise
No more cold weather!

Right on the Left

  
      The left’s declared war on the right
         The right’s declared war on the left

      When they finish with each other
          In the center aught will be left
