Monocrostic (Birthday of Precious Mhae E. Asuncion)
Seal was written for S words contest sadly I missed deadline.
hot red wax drips down
parchment charter awaits seal
gold ring descending
The blaze surrounds me
as if I jumped into an ocean of plasma.
Though Jesus came to me with the
The Forgiving Charter.
A ship filled with damaged souls
all within his grasp of love.
He steers this vessel
surrounded by admiring angels and doves.
An outreached hand into the heat,
showing scars beneath his palm.
I accept him and welcome the hope;
The melting stops, the hollers no longing alarm.
Together we sail into the light...
God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and me.
if i ruled the world
'love your neighbor as yourself'
my magna carta

Poetic form: Monoku
he in his elegant black sits in the corner
will he touch... tread.. lightly between the rows
of the american gothic families
their drawn out figures seem to fasten
throughout the lengthy periods of the santuaries silence.
that same silence forged in the dusty seminaries
of luthern chapels keeps him sitting so very still
with folded hands and a hymnal upon his knee.
will he stoop.. pray... recall the years.
or count the pews that seem to separate
him from the rest of the flock.
now the interpretation of saints
and sinners dreams shines
through the stained glass
window to his right.
perhaps someone should give
him some bread half to remember
and half to forget.
