my seraphim who took pity
and married me…

Spirits of the living mingle with the dead
Nightly, joining hands to march through Selma
Dr. King, their leader, the first called home
Returns to preach peace through understanding
On streets where emotions refuse to rest

Brother John’s soul, the last to depart
Forever linked to this spectral caravan
Listen and you’ll...

         TO  A SPIRIT SWORN

There I was in a diner dining quite alone
I recall a blond waitress whose’ name was Joan
I was sitting there un-tidy, un-happy and un-couth
And suddenly aside me sat a spirit who promised...

Walking into His Seraphim fire,
It burned out everything that made me a liar...
Living a life that wasn't to be mine because
The devil tried to steal my true self; tried to steal it away.
But the Lord wants to make me His bride and He called 
Into...

He fell to earth like a meteor
wielding his fiery sword 
but unlike seraphim
he was not here to cleanse the wicked
Soulless & motherless 
he would unleash 
his wrath upon the world
A wall of flame spread out 
from the pit where he had landed
& consumed all in...

PRAYER OF THE BETTER HALF
(Faithful Seraphim)

When seraphs tend their ears
To prayers faithfully borne,
Oh my lips, unlock thy seal
And water the air with
The scent of my plea.

By morning and by night,
My entreaties I pour
In your sacred pouch,
To thee holy one,

That when thy sanctified wings
Flapped Upward, towards
The...

Bygone was a time I looked so apathetic, I saw that you had no face.
Reckoning for my past trespass comes now in listless waves.
You are the highest of the high and I could surmise why
your seraph face now haunts me.
 
To this day, fleeting eyes...

Tired cold tar stained fingers,
cigarette of mostly ash,
the fog of ancient thoughts hang,
Eyes closed dreamless void.

The radio hum of white noise,
whispers like seraphim,
tapped ashes and empty prayers.
Dissolving to heaven. 

"Awaken you tired servant, 
can you spare a light for me?"
Eyes closed to flickering flames,
speaking to...

Heavenly being hovering near
Appear near this fading life
Hold me dear and secure on this long
Distance trip, powered by Light
Cross over gently, hold tight...

I found a home in your poetry
for my sporadic melancholy
It was your music that set my heartbeat

on other occasions, it wept
like the celestial scream of seraphim
you tried to prove it to me after that

demonic insanity
strives over what we all share
that there is gloom and sorrow
as...

i choose to see truth
the unfolding beauty of
a seraphim sky
with two wings covering face
with two wings covering feet
with two wings hovering by
God seated on throne
the fiery purity of
a seraphim sky
true blue, celestial lift
flutter of hallelujah
bright burning of love for God
