The Domain of Fear
The Domain of Fear
The Devil and hell, all Christians would agree,
Are the fate awaiting non believers like me.
But if you search the Scriptures you’d see,
Both Satan and hell are nowhere to be
Found in the Writings of the Jews,
And to Christians, this is real news.
All dead people went to the place of the dead.
Sheol was the

Reclaim Your Domain
I wish I could plug
A flash drive in your ear.
I would wipe clean the worries
Hidden deep inside there.
I know they've been hiding
In camouflaged space.
Your very own virus
firmly in place.
Spreading infection
Every which way.
Squeezing the happy
Right out of the way.
It's time to recover,
Diminish your pain.
Pick up your tools.
Reclaim your domain.
Before long, I promise,
With daily scans,
You'll reboot and

Denizens Of Her Domain
Mother Nature, divine and yet so whimsical
Her flowing streams fall warm, healing and abiding
A darkened blue-green sea, maroon and sapphire shores,
cradle us asleep, with your gentle waves
harboring the dour rude awakenings
when eddying rapids currented by the tide
Consume the uncertainty and the lies of the day tearing the heart apart
Suspend

Maternal grandfather of mine
long since passed among the living;
He left his Motherland
before onset of Holodomor,
a policy of the Soviet Union
aimed at the destruction
of the Ukrainian nation,
the 1932–1933 genocide in Ukraine.
The present doth bear witness
to repeated assaults upon
scapegoated innocent people.
Russian soldiers in general
and Vladimir Putin in particular
perpetuate outright

The Devil's Domain
The archangel turned imposter,
sought a rival reign to foster.
Through a scheme steeped in deception,
he received a good reception.
With his hosts of loyal subjects,
his newfound muscle he did flex.
The rebel force was put to rout,
and God from heaven kicked them out.
Banished to earth, seething with wrath,
dead set on his destructive path.
The Devil vowed to ruin man,
and

The Domain of Psyche
Within the ambit of the psyche untamed
Is the wonder cavern with hanging thoughts
And projections prompting peevish plots-
Thick and prickly notions oddly framed
Fall about, on the least spur of moment
Which ruffles the indignant frozen ill-will-
Once a serene pond of feelings still -
To avenge, seeking pleasure from torment.
Classic structures replaced

The Crown
The Crown
David J Walker
I can sense the advent
of the harvest to come
The bees have retreated
High on the nectar of a successful hunt
Home is the hive
Alive with instinct
Survive
The colony sings in a low hum
Of favorite hymn’s sung
To the dead queen
Who can replace her
Among the close cast
The vast number of

Our Domain To Rule Over
we often lie about
what we're thinking
deny deny deny
unwilling to divulge
our private thoughts
our inner secrets
not wanting
to be violated
our thoughts are ours
flawed and broken
right or wrong
as they may be
they're ours
and no one else's
we'll share
to a degree
but only when safe
is how we feel

My Soul's Domain
Wisdom is of greater weight
than valor, pride, or name
It harbors in my deepest thoughts
to rule my souls’ domain
Choices made my kingdom saved
though others yet to see
My heart and mind ensconced as one
—the future mine to free

Leopards Loose in the Domain
Out of a neon jungle the big cats prowl
the wind in the willows unrecovered,
for when the cats and wind begin to howl
I am stoned and the boys truly mothered!
So I rip in and bowl an inswinger
and rap ‘em on the pads…”howzat?” I shout,
pivoting to see a pointing finger,
