Baptism Poems

Ashes to dust
If you must 
You will only end up in a bust 
You see you proclaimed yourself as a King 
In a place where they did not want to hear such a thing 
Defending from armies they did have
And...Read More

The lion prowls for a fresh meal
Ready to kill and watch you squeal
Teeth and claws shred your heart
Bones and muscle torn all apart

He seeks one of us to devour
Not resting one bit of the hour
Ready to pounce on the attack
Be...Read More

Analogous to black box
holding untold secrets,
I share the following self
introspection with ye,
which purported hidden truths
might set me free,
albeit laborious effort

to loose constituent amalgamated
compound elements unmined
tantamount to agony
riddling psyche effort to extract
thorny matters incumbent upon me
versus tapping Androcles and the lion

You cannot practise dying, though we want to do it well
We don’t want to appear foolish when we might  be in hell
We can practise smiling and opening the door
Unless like me you’re crippled and you’re feeling  very low
You...Read More

My friend
She is an angel
She is my confidante
Understands me so well
I love her with all my life
She is my power and style...Read More

More mental toughness,
More togetherness,
More mental toughness
More happiness,
More mental toughness.
More kindness
More mental toughness,
More openness,
More mental toughness,
More gratefulness.

Less mental toughness,
Less togetherness,
Less mental toughness,
Less happiness,
Less mental Toughness,
Less kindness,
Less mental toughness,
Less openness,
Less mental toughness,
Less gratefulness.

How do we become mentally tough,
How do we know when...Read More

"Another Man’s Treasure"



Jetsam tumbles
broken doorbells
no one
answers
anymore

ironing boards 
pressing to imprint
something of significance
a life, your life
droll and predictable

it all sinks 
to the bottom 
of a bad dream
with yesterday’s 
stale tears

sharp heels
clicking on a parquet floor
like knives ripping words
jagged scratches on old...Read More

Why should I worry about Satan
He can only kill me
I have to worry about GOD
Who can cast me into Hell...Read More

You carry the world
You carry our sin
Everything gone wrong 
From mans first begin
You flooded the world
And stole all slaves
From the devil demise
To all ends sake

The story began with Adam and Eve
Along came sin in the garden eden
What of this lamb o why can't u see
Blood on his hand o why can't u see
Carries all sin o why can't u see
Nails in his hands o...Read More

Magnolias wafting through the breeze,
mixin’ with sweet iced tea.
Porch swingin’ and guitars strummin’,
playin’ cards strewn on the table.
A Remington rifle hangs above the door,
next to a nice ten-point buck;
Air so thick you're breathin’ water.
There is nothin’ quite like a little...Read More

Tolerance by itself not a virtue
Nor is acceptance,
As they generally come with poor eyesight,
No insight,
Are hard of hearing,
And tend to be motivated by fear.

The good news is that,
We still have patience and understanding,
To turn to.

There are abilities that we can...Read More

If you find yourself classed as being old, 
You may have in moments more lucid,
Looked at your situation from a rational point of view,
And taken the time to write down your thoughts,
In the for and against column,
Regarding how you feel...Read More

The forenoon strolls


Dressed in a solid jacket the old man goes for his walk
First, he goes and buys a paper have coffee at a café
To read a bit, the woman at the newsagent smiles at
Calls him sir, her guard is...Read More

Padraig's Fire

Hurry!
Hurry through the night
With windstorms
Breathing at your back
Before the shadows know
You pass their doors -
Their darkened, dusty, empty hearths -
Before the dawn ascends -
Before the pipes awaken;
Carry close
Precious flint and tinder
Next to the wildly beating
Warmth -
Beneath your flowing cape.

Hurry!
Hurry...Read More

If you can't,
Or are not prepared to carry your own weight,
Then you had better have understanding friends.

Without being able to carry your own weight,
And not having understanding friends,
Then Houston you have a problem,
And you need to own it,
Rather quickly.

I have...Read More

The psychology of the sun is strange...

The violinist's taupe 
strapped sandals, color of beach 
sand, burning, slap tiles

with embedded grime, like
the charred plaster walls of a Syrerian
merchant. Anytime...a fear:

bombs dropped, scarring 
an isolated biped life.
Morning edges spill

light the tint of...Read More

With  few exceptions,
There is only one way to succeed in life,
Which is, to go through the right hoops,
At the right time,
At the right speed for each hoop.

Of course you could pay someone else to go through them for you,
But...Read More

Those who master the art of chewing their food slowly,
Tend to master other tasks faster....Read More

Broken Disciple

My pilgrims journey started out strong
9 years and a decade later my story and song 
Have turned into a heartless cycle
May I share about a broken disciple?

Took up my yoke and followed thee
‘Twas an easy burden initially
The path lo...Read More

Together in a new formed way
I open up about things which I feel like saying
Words make me pray and give undaunting peace
So I feel that I should begin a new day in the understanding
Of God and godly ways even though...Read More

Deathsnake coiling, squeezing.
Heavy soul wheezing.
Conforming for conjoining.

A trick or two sets the mood.
Teasing and pleasing.
For a quickened f-_-ening.

In distillery of proofs.
In massage of noose.
Native tongued nativity.

Masochism helix form.
Homing sense reaching.
To carry me the way home?

The distance sends a beacon.
An Emmissary.
A...Read More

Pyre


Balancing on the razors edge; In-
all that gutters-in that cold ballet -
Of "before I bled."
My elixir of mangled string-theory,
Of hybrid sins and veiled shadowquery.

No. I need to stop this. 
I need stealth and a golden beacon.
Something to be on my...Read More

After God's own heart I ran the race 
Focusing on enduring to the end 
With the eyes of my heart opened seeing God high and lifted up
For the prize of the Crown not a trophy nor money
Reading studying meditating on...Read More
