THE END TIME

The End time

The clock is speeding up til end of the earth
Heaven and Earth have been waiting for this 
Each day, a prophecy is being fulfilled as told

Eastern gate from Zion salvation will come
Now, the children of God see their messiah
During this time comes the true remnants 

Tribulation swill sort wheat from the chaffs
Israel, you were warned of this desolations
Mount Zion God Son messiah he will return
Eden Gods' garden, it will finally be restored

Alabaster Skin

Fragile as alabaster white dry as your sin 
so sweet I want to caress to cradle and suffocate.

I feel that dry course texture of alabaster 
and sin, the skin you are in, I feel the sand in my teeth…

The tang of its bitter taste the smell of parchment
dry as desolations rage, I recoil at the touch of your alabaster skin.

I feel the bones without and within brittle as suicide of time you sit with that sinister grin n that hellacious light in you inner eyes, spin!

I figure you are the one to be waiting before the son with the blade as sharp and keen slicing your alabester skin.

Slicing away your dry fragments of sin I keep it all in the dry rot of my mind the turn of my stomach 
I want to cress and suffocate…

Your candlelight…

The lies that the eyes tell, that watch me caressing your delicate skin all alabaster and white dry as stone and l...

Fragile as alabaster white dry as your skin 
so sweet I want to suffocate all, within!

as fragments of you drift 
over and around 
like the sand 
thought 
the hourglass…

Posthuman

What tis' the work of man 
to leave a testament 
to his grand plans, 
the usurper of the throne 
eternal is, man!

The after image 
of a lost god left 
a cold planet 
our former mother, 

Mother Earth. 

We use and abuse toss aside 
the husk of humanity 
the aftermath of an arrogant divinity! 

We live, love, destroy, 
we feed, bleed
&
Breed?
...lay waste to everything we don’t understand 
no faith in our father's fate to repeat.

From our destiny to our sin 
Desolations of our history! 

…in our post-human waste.

Desolations Boulevard I

The world is avoid 
no new color just tones 
of ashes and soot
a dark building sharp in focus 
softer vision feeling the displacement of time 
Like the MESSENGER's wings 
I sweep away the dust of time 
the dust of fear 
as this world collides
no words can tell
just sensations of frost-wintry white 
chilling are my visions
a movie hall dark at night
standing delicately in the shadows 
of a hard midnight 
harsh in memory soft of world
hard insight 
dust n cobwebs 
my memory collects
clinging to everything
as my world collides
my earth is in desolation tones 
of ash n bone
aq dark city on the horizon, running, running...
returning, returning to a stop
along the seams of oblivion 
how long is this corridor of time 
lingering on desolation's boulevard
as worlds collide

Processing

COMPUTATIONAL SUMMONS ...
DAMNATION'S DEMONS DRIVE
INTELLIGENT MACHINES.
HELL BOUND IN CIRCUITRY 
BOARDS WITH DIGITAL IMAGING
A GODFORSAKEN ENIGMA BUILT 
IN INFERNO'S HOT SILICON MATRIX. 
DESOLATIONS DIVINITIES
RULE A VIRTUAL LABYRINTH.
THE CELESTIALS CREATED MAN!
MAN DESTROYED THE DIVINE, INSANE!
THE PROFANE CREATED SACRED MACHINES
OF TWISTED LOGIC, SPARKS RAIN!

Sovereign Ii

days pass into silent oblivion 
each one a page from history 
each a footnote of memory 
life passing one into the next 
blurring in shape and desire 
a bright outline of memory 
fire defined by the arc of a star 
the swing of a sphere though darkest void 
only noted by sovereign eyes 
in the depth of the eternal either 
it’s how we define, remember, explore 
the shapes and desires 
burning bright silver
a halo of gold 
outline of sovereign eyes 
in memories of fire as days pass 
into oblivion 
each a page of history 
desolations footnotes to misery...

And More

Swift across
the forest floor
running
with her fear
looking for
a long ago
a chamber tomb
buried there.

See her trance
see her gaze
she knows she’s
near
where sorrow
stays.

Through trusted woods
past silent trees
to the stillness of
the lake
she silent prays
on bended knee
her soul
for God to take.

Weak from desolations
rage from desolations
wrath
sickly from the
rotting stench
strewn across her path.

Defended by hounds
of hell
beyond that
fiery blaze
Mother knows where
sorrow lives
where it hides
and plays.

Hear the echoes
hear the cries
beyond
the shore
sweet intention
dies.

Such memories
illusions meant
for days
that never were
delusions cast
into a grave
from which
they’ll never stir.

Within the depths
of trusted woods
nearest to the shore
she keeps a secret
to herself and more
and more and more.

The Real Terror

The necktie wearers, and flag pin bearers
Combing arcane smiles 
With not one word out of place 
Colluded to recreate
Pearl harbor's reincarnate
History's wounds slashed by new swords
A mirror of quondam contempt 
Semblance of peace sat behind a podium
Truths interstice fogged 
Aridity of public sentiment 
Proved a deserted nature of love 
Thirsty for blood of whom we know not
Patriotism painted from a teleprompter 
As cobblers cleaned and mended
The boots which young feet filled
Whilst scoundrels signed a death waiver  
For workers to pluck cold limbs 
And prepare the fields 
Where black gold geysers 
Diluted the red stained, hallowed ground 
Commissioned were penny whistles 
And morts moaning on cue 
For quarry men slouched 
In the dirt, for eternal rest
Before rhetoric trumped up heroism  
The azure above was clear and crisp
Til mercurial darkness was summoned
On desolations blooming row
As pinwheels kept on spinning 
At the home of those who plot
Another stratagem, another canvas 
To splatter blood upon

Sometimes Lost

Seem I'll walk this road alone

             the time of never looming forever. shivers filter thru my bones,

                             yearning to be soothed by hushed tones.

                                Once happy, now shrouded in 
                                        
                                               misery

                          pondering my mental stockpile of uncertainty
                                                                     

                                       half smiles strapped in pain,

  choked up feelings of past privileges hoping to regain. tethered by unseen chains.


                       The soul feeling scarred, suppress , and under duress

     How......oh.... how do I break free from this sadness that envelopes me?

   Cascading down a mound of despair wishing this sadness will disappear,

                           relieving me of my desolations and fear

                      Where....oh....where is my guardian angel out there.

Premium MemberVaughan Phrasis When the World Sleeps- Recited

WHEN THE WORLD SLEEPS 
This man Christ,very God and
very  man,this great design and ‘til 
the end of time,to make all sinners
‘mine’. To commemorate this
sacrifice this glorious sacrament,
a preparation daye, a solemne
Feast of mercy and miracles.Pledges 
of Thy love, sacred institutions 
regularly to be said, of prayer and
meditation,lest they wither away,
dead, with time.When all the world
is asleep we should’st watch upon the
Day-lilie of life as if the sun were
already set.When all is gone,and 
all is dust, deformity ,desolation 
and stress.Keep me Lord from hours,
and the powers, of the darknesse.

From Henry Vaughan’s Solitary Desolations

*A Phrasis is a structured verse where the poet uses selected prose phrases of another writer’s(not a poet)  to compile  unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,the word phrasis is Greek for phrase.

Listen to me read this phrasis of mine on youtube under the name ichthyschiro

W to the J, J to the W
Voice crackle to the sound of unfairness
Question your place within the white world of today
Your community privileges
With pen in hand, contemplates to write the notes of despairs

W to the J, J to the W
Concern by the brothers and sisters of yesterday, today and tomorrow
Voice crackle to the sight of classicism, sexism, racism
Ism to the reason of wrongness
Lift your sword, write the notes of desolations

W to the J, J to the W
Yesterday, today and tomorrow ******** shut down
Voice crackle to the vocalism of the nonsense, ignorance
Stand against the personal struggles, write the notes of accomplishments

W to the J, J to the W
Open your voice 
Let it sing with the rhythm of the goddesses
Athena, the goddess of war will be by your side
So, lift your sword
Write the notes of struggle, despair and resilience
Vocalize for the brothers and sisters of yesterday, today and tomorrow
Shout 
Holler
Scream
And your sword never let go

After Katherina

After Katherina
My faith half mast like a flag
Beat no tambourina
For shining citadel and rag
Of old traditions
That could just walk away
Form the desolations
To tell us pray.

After Katherina
I saw the Mason-Dixon line
Was no mere enigma
The living are not color blind
God gave us eyes
To see, memories to keep
Where the waters rise
We must wade the deep

We must like a fist
Bring its fingers together
With love insist
Our children shall not scatter
Wrath for black birds dinner
And after the fire next time
And after Katherina
No Ceaser shall spend the dime

After Katherina
My soul like thunderbolt shook
And wrote Aluta continua
With lightning in a book
Of water colored grief
Where history floats dead bodies
And found no relief
For colonies of sweet theories.

Whispering Muse.

Hold onto fantasy if you dare
Ride the night winds over desolations sands

Hear the fading voice of the masses
The few who chanced all and were devoured
Consumed within the flames of selfishness

Live in the blessing of daylight
That finite moment that can never be held
A tempest ravaging without an ending
Raging on without entreaty…without reservation

Hold onto the truth scratched on the wall
Declaring to the one who reads his own deliverance

Listen to the song of life slowing
Into sweet nothingness ever pellucid
Deepened in truth as time marches forward

Hold onto fantasy if you choose
Drink of its essence upon deaths embrace
It’s that undoubting spirit which will carry you onward
The respite from solitary pursued throughout life
