Monocrostic (Birthday of Giovanna Prisco)
The problem with biblical eisegesis
is that you tear Bible verses to pieces.
And in your effort to make of the Bible and its glory
your own personal story,
the truth value of the Bible dramatically decreases.
A rainbow looms outside the window
however, she lingers quietly
for the slight strips to portray twilight
as her predominant shrewdness
strive exegesis in the vault of heaven
and they retain the darkness
captivating promises flavor edible orbs
she is doused with succulence
soulful craving skin in hellish bliss
solely for squander
where there is crown motionless
is shattered by midnight rhapsody.

"The power of God is never manifested without the love of God" -
Not in the Bible, O man of words and wisdom
Yes, in a sermon on Matthew 6, Prayer Of the LORD
If First Cause is that, Sovereign, why not?
Have you not heard there are innocents killed by God
At the hand of the Hebrews, ancient Israel
For His Perfect Will and Wisdom sees corruption coming
Years, Centuries before as In Genesis 6, That Sad Flood

The LORD if He is God can do anything
But He will not contradict His Nature of Light
And He can and did change the 10 Commandments
So we no longer listen to Levites, Pharisees, Scribes
But permitted to be like the Bereans: Read Scripture yourself
Morning opens her intimate heart to the poet
ever faithful is she
life the road you follow
her eggs of possibility palpably present
waiting only for your deepest feelings to pour out
Now!
climax spurs
new fingers and toes
your woof added to her warp
you wear your role as new parent proudly
earth’s future glows with yet another shimmering child
love the genetics that formulates beauty greater than the sum of parts
All of your children together the progeny of so many stars, she smiles too.
