The scout tent lit alight,
the dear diary burns bright,
go ask Alice,
mortal fears
no longer children.
Thou shou not weep
Thou shou reap
Strangers lurk in playgrounds
echoing such innocent sounds.
Chain me up sister,
its a red fiery full moon tonight,
and sunken no longer are my eyes
as you dance in the pale of sun,
with the full delicatessen
of glowing freckled numbing pins.
The porous strands of devious sins
My werewolf hairs stand up within
We meat eaters
In the café on the first floor of our building
The food served is cooked on the day
Sometimes they serve fish which I'm not a fan of but when I have picked out the ing bones
the fish tastes fine
They serve wonderful chicken that only a few days ago ran around not knowing they would
Be lunch, but that’s life, we humans eat human flesh too when given a chance, living deep in the jungle and fried female **** are seen as
A delicatessen only served to the chieftains who are the upper class in their world and no, if you
Ask, there is no beans on the toast
A kiss left among the stars
Longed for me
My precious maze
Windows shut
I felt your gaze
Wave have raised your blissful shore
Seeing the world as you knew before
God you lifted
For you persisted
Ready to defend
All worthy friends
Honored by plea
You watered my tree
Taste of delicatessen
A worthy life lesson
Lost treasuries
You forgave all riveries
Adhered to confess
To whom all that have been blessed
To model she
forced herself to salads,
energetic products
and gym
To beautify herself,
amounts of time,
cosmetology ...
To compensate,
solitary abuses,
stuffing
of chocolates and
delicatessen ,
confectionery ... "
nonsense purity
polymer
a squeezing of something
out
a tri fold with scores
of plastic, so necessarily unfulfilled
with pictorials
a social security card,
a card from the merchant marines
with a face
eleven dollars, a fiver
and six ones,
and a diners card
weak elbows,
furrowing brow
the smell of a polish
delicatessen on
his breath
Oh come
all ye faithfuls
Mexico, Poland
Bolivia
He wears a
Movado
Then craves
for bagels
with locks after
playing Polo
Peace!
The Blood of Jesus Removes Sin’s Dark Stain!
Is there no shame in what many do?
You never know “what they’re up to!”
Many struggle with “sins of the past.”
They struggle for a freedom that’ll last!
So many habits people get involved doing!
In the end… It’s them
who are losing!
With so many offers and many temptations…
People come to the table of
“life’s delicatessen!
If “everyone’s doing it,”
it doesn’t mean you have to!
God knows about your life and what you’re up to!
Jesus wants to be involved with your life today!
Where there’s a “struggle.”
HE will make a way!
He offers an abundant life! Why not receive it!
True purpose and meaning… You can achieve it!
There’s nothing to be ashamed of
with the love HE gives!
There’s power and love in Christ…
He reigns and LIVES!
He can change your life,
no matter the circumstance!
Why not come to him now…
And give HIM a chance?

YOU ARE WHAT YOU KEEP
Let it go. The blackness
the blueness the redness
construe less. Drop things
too heavy to lift. Clear
dark bureaus untidy
bits
Starving
dreams deplete sleep. Let
worldlings murmur their
blurb. Lightning quirks on
high alert. In this great
Texan delicatessen
you are what
you keep

Record Breakers.
He is 100 and five spends his time in bed his family
come up to his room and clean him up, he is windy
and it smells like a Chinese egg buried underground
for fifty years. And to think Chines eggs are supposed
to be a delicatessen eaten only by the rich.
He can’t read anymore but like to look at pornographic
pictures which make him cackle as it triggers off
a memory of a distant past.
He was never a paragon of virtue smoked and drank
a brutal criminal who spent much time in prison.
All this is forgotten now his family, although they think
he is disgusting, want him to be in the Guinness book
of records as the longest living man.
Christ Removes All Sin With HIS Love!
Is there no shame in what many people do?

As so many struggle with “sins of the past.”
They yearn for a freedom that will last!
There’s so many habits people get involved doing!

With so many “offers” and many temptations…
People come to the table of

WHO LIVES!

SJGNAL EVENT BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN
The eyes have it
As the trolley slews past the bread display
At first glance it may be accidental
Testing it at the delicatessen
Inconclusive but cautiously implying
Trying again in the frozen section
Melting eyes again, as hoped for
Now for the checkout wait
Wait while the change is registered
There the final gaze must be long
It must belong to me alone.
