Deep In Newly Disturbed Soil, Lies My True Love

(  “Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them” – George Eliot.)

Deep in newly disturbed soil, lies my true love
'neath a canopy of virgin soil and loose rock
where no more glows splattering...

As the sun awakens the forest,
   I ascend the faded trail.
   A doe and her fawn spring,
   startled by the stranger,
   traipsing through their paradise.
   These overlooked alpine slopes
   soak in tranquility,

Here stand we again
   ready to grow
Entering into iron bonds
  of matrimony ho-
ly unpredictable, of course, but
  And this is their kindest cut:

Since we've each stood there before
   We'll walk clear-sighted through this door
Embrace twin pillars of lasting marriage

Coniferous Tree
     newly wed bride adorned

This heart so sweet was under a rent
purchase of its lands to become a village
contract execution, more transparent
oaths creating the billboards of marriage
strong guided words from elders and parents
willingness to learn is the only adage
for two halves to be whole and coherent
as years pass by...

A dreamt event
for the newly-wed,
both looking sharp;
how many hand-written invitation cards
have they sent
with the reddest heart and lovely words? 


Down the church isle they will go with a tight-sealed tounge;
an organist will play the famous wedding song...
be ready to greet them with wide smiles,
despite your...

know
(in your cells)
that we are made of each other
(woven, weaving)
we deepen
we drink in
we divulge 
(arms linking
ties binding
more than becoming)
with the space we fill
the ways
we move
(woven, weaving)
patterns of encoded mystery
blossoming
through 
(down and out and down again) 
perpetually
transforming 
into new...

You
stood by my side
tall
unafraid
unyielding,
a tower of
strength!

You were:
my doctor
my nurse
my paramedic
my guardian angel.

Ready you were:
to oppose the invading virus
to protect me
to cure me
to save my life.

Day by day
night after night
vigilant you stood
depriving yourself:
of sleep
of food
of your family.

Little by little
your efforts paid off
the enemy retreated
I recovered.
 
Jubilant...

Newly fallen snow on a winter night is so beautiful the way it sparkles under the moonlight. 
So perfect in shape and form enveloping the earth with it's beauty and charm. Even more 
beautiful is the way snow falls so peaceful and so quiet never...

I.

I am devastated by the fire and frost 
of these seasons between separation and divorce. 
No vindictive act quite cures the phantom pain 
that exists only in the emptiness.

II.
Dim capsules pad my senses
and brittle fruits amuse my tongue

rx inhibitions sewn into the folds 
of small...

A Christian is one made anew
having Christ come to dwell within
making you to be a new creature
to overcome the old nature of sin

This old nature doesn’t go away
but the new one resides in you
making spiritual battle in your soul
God gives you the weapons to do

The...

Yes, everything here changes.
Again the wheel is turning
wresting with iron fingers
out of my heart steaming blood.
But You, I will not sell You
for thirty silver coins.
The dead ones do not change
neither do the not born,
the newly risen don’t – do not change!
May the changing ones eat

Ended up in trouble and can't be denied;
Was only opening up from deep inside
Expressing what my opinion had been
Which ended up being a mortal sin.

As you read a poem you start to think
Should it be thrown the kitchen sink;
What had been applied forced rhyme;
Some people...
