Best Crucifixions Poems

"Scorpion"




Lack of water leads to lack of life
exposed beneath the Sun like blood
from the tip of a Scorpion’s tail

Corporal attitudes aligned in spaces
battle demented servitude in spotlights
stroking the sights of a symbolic death

Lack of want leads a woman
with her life burning, her...

"The Strange Case of F.T."



They say the dead don’t talk
the stories I have calculated
to deliver a saving grace 
confessional shared amongst 
my equal peers, or so I deem 
you somewhat sometimes seem,
less than me, you ardent followers
scholars, world leaders, 
all manner of dignitaries and 
my...

Inside a boisterous tavern,
a-light with drunken gaiety
of spilled ribald laughter,
he quietly sits alone ...
gently cradling his mead darkly
Brooding thoughts of past paid coverings
buzzes inside his head
Talking flies having the faces of the dead
“Have mercy, please”
This haunting cry, they all pled ... 
except the halo head...

"STRONG"



A child finds strength 
in the holding of his hand
The Beatitudes in his mind 
repetition 8 times cast
whispers the loneliness
in a Man -

Who held his hand?

Like Bede, venerable,
he's counting beads dropping 
like blood drops, 
steel hard, cracking marble floors
like lightening rods 
it’s understood daily -

Before...

"They Say Mushrooms Grow Best in the Dark" 

Winter 
arrived after
The Darkness 

blew in 
with its boiling 
black clouds.

they say mushrooms 
grow best in the dark.
we hid underground.

eventually
we crawled out 
from the cracks

like bugs 
to ash, the fallen
bones of dust.

we breathed 
in the 
blow back.

Let's start with a fundamental flaw of fundamentalist Christianity,
a literary flaw within literal non-interpretation of historical creation
and sacred development.

This is true of radical jihadist Muslims as well,
although we both know you think you're more special 
and politically and morally correct,
so, we can stay focused
on Christian...

"Another Bardo Day"



Amaranthine
Illuminates 
Samsara
legs and hips sway
wrapped around hard street
and through the 
Beginningless Beginning 
holds hands with Kali
Just another Bardo Day
enraptured en route 
to the nefarious 
Nirvana, 
the emptiness state 
there she resides 
tempting impatiently
the bored and insane
the four noble truths at play
it’s all in...

A Volume of McClatchy 
 (on reading "The Ten Commandments" by J.D. McClatchy)
	-  Cheryl L. Higgins @2001 

I picked up your book. No, I ordered your book 
special hard-back from the local shop
a neighborhood place where literary types and 
Yale professors stop on their...

I stayed on this famous island for a little while,
fortress, prison and avant-garde Bonaparte style.
Rigged charm with antiquities slow train,
governors constitution keeping royal patriots vain.
200 years after the mysterious death of the king,
at his grave, I was wondering, ‘You poor little thing’.
Another sort of great...

And your son
Fathered you
To carry him against the disbelief
And anger of conventions
And you gave birth
To the death of old traditions
That will not die
That stones your memory
With silence
For children are not products
Of wedlock
That die in new crucifixions
On crosses in the womb
And the old lie
Of third world...

I shall compare Hinduism with a faith centered on Jesus & show why I cannot worship as a Hindu now. I need to clear a few things ahead of any armchair pundits.

Those who have read more than two of my poems will know I respect...

It happens to have dark parts to light 
With its understanding sparkling so bright 
Amidst other attracting convictions
That seem so true nonfictions
To be nailed in stark crucifixions 

Sections in section of different segments designing discourses of reasonable patterns 
Have to consider the utility of a...

Can you feel the heat of his lonely soul
It is burning so hot that it feels so cold
For now is his time to repent his goal
As his fingers run though your mind so bold

The lifeless body of his reigning power
Seek fit to tell stories of...

Roman pro-life Pilate politicians
got their abortion trigger finger
on the gun
Sending public notice of more bullet crucifixions,
a Surgeon General quarantine warning:
Lead cancer epidemic is spreading,
pistol pestilence ... 
gunsmoke you best deadly shun
Herodian arms whisperers advise,
to let the virulent violence run it’s course
That’s the American Legion way...
