Best Descend Poems
They flow out of a pocket of sky,
a door in the air no one saw
until dark wings shower
over our heads.
Their plumage has a metallic sheen,
as if they were made in parts,
in some elvish workshop, their wings
hammered on last.
Wings that talk to other wings,
for no starling is a starling alone;
it is ten thousand starling clones
welded into flocks of feathers.
They descend where they please.
a road, a lawn, a parking lot,
they descend, and where they land
that is their land, their acre of lordship.
See them strut like dinosaurs,
eyes as black as an eclipse.
See them stab the light, push it away
until all that litters the ground
is prey.
Owl, eagle and hawk fear to
draw near, for the flock is here,
and it will leave when it wants to.
We avoid the pecking mob,
hurry by, look away,
as another swarm of avian androids
stakes its claim upon the earth.
May you bring love
filling my night with stars
when the moon is lemon yellow
among celestial silver bars...
Come when the sun sets
the evening mellow and gray
or if you wish
come early in the day...
Embrace me when you're sad
and feeling full of grief
float into my arms
like a falling Autumn leaf...
Be the first wind
the Springtime blows
the morning star
as it flickers and glows...
You are dark my love
on my shoulder you may rest
my ebony nesting dove
always bringing out my best...
Gently, they swirl in Winter's frigid wind
No two identical, each crystal pristine
Tumbling from gray skies, softly descending
I frolic among them, beguiled as a child

Raindrops descend, puddles form,
A stream engulfed, a river is born,
A course is set, the sea to reach,
Meandering ponderously to a far off beach.
The sea reclaims its myriad young,
Kidnapped by clouds, thunder-slung;
The storm is long past with calm all around;
Albatross glide, with a whisper of sound.
Seagulls circle, dogfish sleep,
Gannets dive and dolphins leap,
But black clouds return and lightning flashes
O'er storm-tossed seas, as thunder crashes.
Once more a stealthy cloud abducts infant water,
The sea's own offspring: a son ... a daughter;
The thief sets off at a wind blown pace,
The anguished mother unable to chase.
The criminal finds refuge in a partisan crowd,
A formless body in a vaporous shroud;
The cloud has no guilt, shows no remorse,
But heads inland on a predestined course.
A hill stands guard, like a customs post;
It stabs the guilty, but allows past the host;
The rogue cloud is ruptured, severed seam and pleat,
Releasing its captives and accepting defeat.
Raindrops descend, puddles form,
A stream engulfed, a river is born,
A course is set, the sea to reach,
Meandering ponderously to a far off beach ...
Divine smiles shine loft into blue sky clouds.
Angels distract dangerous moment’s preen.
God’s helpers care-fly healing, halo shrouds.
Celestial beings float earth’s human scene.
Gold wings flutter love-scatter all about.
Angels distract dangerous moment’s preen.
Guardian’s watch resolve is sternly stout.
Their purpose is His commitment in flight.
Gold wings flutter love-scatter all about.
When humans stumble dark, angels shine light.
Angels paint mystery we all feel lent.
Their purpose is His commitment in flight.
When angels descend, heart blessings present.
Feather soft dedication soars psalm-strong.
Angels paint mystery we all feel lent.
Angel-whisper songs float hope down and long.
Divine smiles shine loft into blue sky clouds.
Feather soft dedication soars psalm-strong.
God’s helpers care-fly healing, halo shrouds.
I lock myself in my mind
And the troubles begin to unwind.
The numbness swoops over me and in the darkness I go
To find the answers to that of which I already know
The irony of falling is the knowing and unknowing of thy soul
Parts of you missing those others stole
I just want to close my eyes as I feel
Trying to figure out if this **** is really real
This pressure inside my chest that throbs so deep
The tears that swell my eyes and start to weep
Feeling both the inner and outer of my being at the same time
Hydroplaning life with no sign
The spiral down is the scariest because it seems without end
You start to feel your foundation crack and bend
Swaying in exhaustion from just trying to understand
Reaching out to myself with my own hand
An ocean with the darkest depths
Is where my mind is pulled in by tide and swept
Breathing is a struggle because the pain is sharp
I get turned inside out through my heart
All I want to do is rest the hurt away
Forget about that bad day
Feel normal again
Forget it happened.
But the inside cries keep me awake
And like shattered glass I begin to break
I fill with rage and anger for what I have endured
And loath the deception in which I was leered
Shaken by the rush of thinking too much
Searching for answers and finding no such
Desperate for freedom from this flesh of hell
It has burned me alive each time I fell.
Peace I seek, glory in light
So I keep on through this dark and lonely night
With my body emotions grow
And when I am ready, I breathe and
Let them go.
Then I feel fine
And safe once again in my own mind.
In shadows deep, where truth is lost/
I stand falsely accused, innocence lost/
Wrongfully convicted, they tore me from God/
My soul too pure for Heaven's facade/
Through realms of darkness/
I descended the Qliphoth's depths where light pretends/
Barriers break, and chains unbind/
A journey forged, a fate refined/
I face trials, a spirit bold/
In the shadows, a heart of gold/
No earthly ties, no mortal claim/
Descending through the voids of dark flames/
With each step taken, power found/
The weight of lies, no longer bound/
From a path of light forged in darkness/
The first to rise, an endless span/
A God is born in cosmic space/
Through strength and willpower, renewed hope/
The journey of the falsely accused/
Darkness covers all of me
The blackness is so deep, i cannot see
Shadowy forms float in front of me and my back
It feels as though i've fallen into a dark sea,i'm fading into the black
Deep in this dark sea everything turns to grey
It feels as though my being is fading away
MY mine and body feel broken,there's a taint on my soul that i cannot bare
I'm falling even further into my despair
One foot in the grave, a moment closer to hell
I'm close to bidding the light farewell
Surronded on all sides by this cold and heartless world,filled to the brim with malice
I'm being boxed in by my aching loneliness
I can't hold on,i feel weary within
Despair has nested in my heart,all my joy is at an end
No one understands this pain that i'm feeling
From constantly seeing all this hurting,bleeding,crying,and screaming
I've withered away now,my existence is no longer presently there
Cause i've fallen into the dark sea, I've Descended into Despair
Descend on us oh wonderful rain
Shower us with your ebullient drops
Bath our lands and little crops
Take away the gloom on the face of flowers
Oh rain energetically fall!
So harvest may later fill our trucks!
Let the dormancy of the lanes be invaded by your noise
So trees may grow tall
As much as the peasants had toiled
Satiate the thirst of our dry lands
Flush away the hunger that destroy the farms
Make endowed our liquidating dams!
Oh rain do energetically fall
And bath our lands and little crops!
Oh my Beloved Come fetch me home
my desire is only for you alone
descend from the Mountain upon your white steed
for my heart is burning you only I need
So long have I waited planted like trees
in earthly places by temporal seas
my heart is driven to seek out your face
the visions of you I wish not to erase
My Beloved comes riding upon a War Horse
none can exceed him none can change his course
fully he's armoured prepared for War
Light goes before him and darkness no more
I'll come to greet you my lamp full of oil
White is my gown cleansed completely of soil
I have made myself ready for you I'm awake
One love have I only no err or mistake
My Torch and my beacon Who walks in the Flame
A River of Fire proceeds his New Name
his followers many in heaven and earth
upon his arrival a new heaven new earth
Swifter than eagles his visions are true
He will expose the things men hidden do
Instructed was he in war he was taught
to destroy strongholds the fortresses of thought
Dan 3:35 , 7:10 Rev 19:12 Matt 25:1-13

~*~ Such richness in fall ~*~
The last days of canopies
~*~ give spectacular ~*~
horizons, as we near, lie
~*~ in colourful gown descend ~*~
An infinite spiral downward... a bottomless cavern,
Thinking I'm pulling myself up and out....
When in reality I'm pulling more rope down off an endless spool,
I'm forever encased in this tomb,
A tomb, I myself have chosen...
The world is alive and breathing above me,
While vile and repugnance rains down upon the...
More I pull, the further I descend,
My strength resembles that of a child...
Intellect has become stagnant...
Hopelessness engulfing who I've chosen to be,
An unwinnable war, waged in the belly of the beast...
How far must I fall before my pain will cease?
It has been said," He will not give you more than you can bear".
But in some cases...cases that are extremely rare...
You will find us assembled here...
Down here, waiting....
Waiting for the time, to unleash all that you fear!
Until then... look through your closed eyes into mine...
Look past my blackest eyes, what do you see...?
A warning for the... you won't like what you'll find!
Descend tonight, you divine spark of love, so humanity's only hope for salvation to ignite!

Body bondage, bane becomes boon
In slowed down vibrations we swoon
A realm to hold still awareness
That love’s embrace, may heart cocoon
We begin with separateness
Next step interconnectedness
Compassion then makes our soul pure
Transcending to the That oneness
The journey’s long, since we’re unsure
Many a hardship we endure
We look outwards, everything sized
World of illusions holds allure
Desires approach, ego disguised
We act not as conscience advised
No wonder we sink into gloom
Remaining thus, until baptised
Turning to God, we give love room
Heart heals and we begin to zoom
Darkness instantly yields to light
Enabling bliss throbs to resume
Once we obtain spherical sight
Ensconced in rapture, day and night
Flame of awareness flicker free
Joy of freedom, our soul’s delight

Who will be there for me when the rains descend?
dancing joyfully as it sings in the air
Softly it falls moistening my skin
cooling drought ridden and arid lands
cooling my heated brow
Who will be there for me when the rains descend?
swiftly, without notice the winds increase
driving needles into tender flesh
chilling me through and through
chilling my exposed being
Who will be there for me when the rains descend?
hail and harsh winds batter and abuse
dancing no longer entices
beaten I cry in loneliness lost
beaten I wonder who?
