*** In the Dream Foretold *** A Devotion Series Poem

I am getting over paralysis from nerves twisted along my spine.  The agonies are
passing, but not gone, so I am standing, leaning over the kitchen sink; with great effort
I lean, wrapped in old towels while...

CULLODEN FORETOLD

A man he once said ta'e me,
You'll lay on heather, your gut will bleed.
Near Inverness you should na'e be,
Your end is there upon thee.

I paid no heed, jumped to my feet,
Charged through the Highlands, sword in sheath.
Loyalty to the Stuarts was my belief,
and to...

Were these dreams foretold, or Happenstance
These dulcet Whispers of prophesy
From bereft desert to Dank green soil of rebirth
With you; only a Daub of dust as reminder
That I ever doubted the path to us, the Folly of
Remorse for yesteryear's Wafting redolence
Perchance, the reign of rash impulses
In...

Foretold? Angels?

When you have sex, and you really love the other,
You know sometimes if you’ve fertilised and conceived, 
And Mary and Joseph’s love must’ve been strong, 
As marriage was the portal demanded and perceived. 

So Mary hallucinated after some months and knew, 
She was pregnant...

How are those that hate,
like those who love,
when love is just a gate
to the other hates,

that we feel arn't rough
enough to steal our souls.

How are those that care,
like a ferry to a despair,
that we have always feared
from those never there,

yet care is enough to sooth...

the madman stands
with clutching hands
and shakes Eliot’s geranium

what you hold
has been foretold
but he just stared distantly
at the void

and a vacuous comment
slipped like mist
over the trees, the height
of conversation
-	such a vacuous nation – 
fools, cads and in moral poverty
what does the future hold? 
or does it...

Famine Foretold
(Stalin, 1930, 30 million, and Mao Tse Tung 1960, 42 million, et al)

The land is the lord of men who live
Near yellow and lime-green fields,
Who plant it and till it and gladly give
All their toil, for crops it yields.

Dictators forced them to the modern...

Ingratitude for Mother Nature's gifts
and our desire to live with greatest ease
have caused strange outcomes; now our planet shifts
climatically by frightening degrees.

With dwindling faith, I've watched as humankind
continues recklessly upon Time's path,
careening or half-stumbling as if blind
to what's to come when we receive Earth's wrath.

We're...

A woman who knows her heart 
met a man who knows his guard 

She was eager, burning,
Almost fervid 

He was hesitant, cautious, 
Almost pallid 

She took a step towards 
He took ten back 

Her lens was pink 
His lens was black 

She wanted to hold...

A THRESHOLD FORETOLD

I but strolled over my unadorned threshold
And what, of all things, did mine eyes behold
Begged I let not this be she
The she I was meant to meet yet hoped she not be the she I prayed she would not turn out to be
And...

As I am rushing around
Trying to get ready
Looking here in there
For my special evening gown

Yes.. Tis the one… 
With the back out
Slit up the side.. 
Gives a Sparkling glow
Tis be.. I know 
Tis the one 
My man loves so..

There it is.. I found it 
Hanging...

And now, finally, the curtain is falling on Palestine and
there will be no Palestinians left to set free, erased from history.
March of history at its cruelest, a grand tragedy foretold,
by the misprints of victims on history's canvas, painting white on grey,
to the point of oblivion....

I saw you in a dream foretold
one winters night in the cold.
You became and image in part
of and old man's broken heart.

The dream begins every night
I close my eyes, it takes flight.
As I awake to dawns new day
I find my soul was taken away.

Love is...

Irigidi in Ondo State of Nigeria
You are by no means the least
Of the leading towns in the country
For out of your stock came forth a prophet
In the mold of Elijah and Elisha

His coming was foretold 
By God’s General of old
Rev. A.A Allen
That a mighty prophet...
