I cannot keep God for He keeps me.
The universe without, the universe within
are untraversable without His manifesting light.
Humanity’s spiritual night evinces darkness palpable,
terminating all true sight until He illuminates the way.
Infinities of mysteries temporal and divine,
celestial and terrestrial, knowledge of all things created,
secrets of the intricate interweaving of body and psyche
are locked within God’s impregnable vault
until He, the Keeper, admits entrance to those who knock.

As time ticks, the outside woven souls make up our world.
I am in an impregnable world, quite challenging and competitive.
The sun casts shadows through the large windows upon the large study,
where I sit behind my desk, exposing the darkened room.
Trying to ignore the piles of unopened bills.
Feeling overwhelmed, looking at a letter stamped “Final Notice.”
I opened and read it, wishing it would disappear.
The bank's final repossession notice.
Feeling in a downward spiral shell, praying to be rescued.
I put in as many hours working to make everything go right,
but it was just not enough.
Finding myself reaching the nadir of my despair,
I knew now my emotions were hard to conceal.
Reflecting on the beginning, I thought it would be easy;
I was mistaken.
Whispering,
"Lord, if it is your will, please help guide me in this crushing storm I'm in,
and bring the calm of the waves' embrace."

we are afraid of vulnerability of innocence
so we set up an impregnable fortress
an opaque mind and clenched fist
but if we wish to see God face to face
we need to vaporise becoming a bliss mist
Social media
The X-twitter this morning was disappointing it consisted of 60% Musk and 40% Trump bragging about how great they are at winning the battle of saving America from the disaster of paying the poor too much and reducing medical aid to the old who must learn to fend for themselves It is tiresome to see the same triumphant smiles and one wonders if they ever sit down asking if their presence in the oceans of opinions matters do they doubt themselves, are they ever unsure if they might be wrong, is their preening too powerful an impregnable wall hindering them to have souls, drowning in the glare of self-love I pity them should they see themselves for what they are utterly pathetic humans a failure of creation by a god of wroth
The sky was streaking in the most
amazing blazing hearten colors.
I thought that I was impregnable
from the outside, quite challenging,
competitive world it commands.
Behind my desk I sit in my study.
The sun casts shadows through
the large windows, upon the large
exposed darkened room.
Piles of unopened bills spread out
I've ignored, rustled to open.
Stifled, I couldn't stop looking
at a letter, wishing it would
disappear, I just had read.
It's the banks final
repossession notice.
Feeling I was in prison.
Determined struggles of energy
to be rescued.
As many hours I put in working
to make everything go right
But, it was just not enough.
Opportunities of offers had open up,
but I knew it wasn't going to be enough.
Finding myself reaching the nadir of my
despair, I knew now my emotions
were hard to conceal.
Reflecting back in the beginning
I thought it would be easy, I was mistaken.
Whispering a small prayer,
"Lord, if it is your will; please help guide
me in this crushing storm I'm in
and bring the calm of the waves embrace."
Rapturous petals always
reflect the immortal,fiery
light.
The impregnable,potent
snowstorm abides in the
passing rainbow.
The symphonic melody of
the past blooms like
a delightful creek.
Every step in this tough,
rocky road is watered
by agonizing tears.
It enfolds the undying,
unrelenting sun.
Its solace is a sublime,
wandering grace of
the dark rill.
Unraveling the tapestry of
zeal is released an unwavering
truth crossing the
labyrinthine heart.
The light of diamond transcends
unswerving,towering cliffs.
Our beloved ,enduring
daisy,even the wise
star bows to your
innocence,grace
and beauty.
we could
pound our perspectives
as flat as a pancake
and force-feed each other with them.
we could debate
until two plus two is five
and still arrive at
an impregnable impasse;
a dead-end street.
you seem to be as stubborn as I am.
my mind -
and yours -
clearly will not change.
so why don't we agree to disagree?
you see, I'm simply sick of shouting,
tired of talking.
He had a sneaky tongue,
it bent around his molars
like a serpentine noodle.
His Adams apple
was an ever-shifting abacus
that calculated words
as if they were untethered beads.
Mathematics were his
clinical persuasion,
a laudable science
he hammered
into a sterile
impregnable language
for bespectacled cyborgs,
for he (the Bradly),
daily taught snotty tykes
who ponged of sticky,
childish proclivities.
Some teach, some
kill the ozone of eager minds.
We kids and Mr. Bradly
were never meant
for each other,
but he did instruct us
in the oily arts of
disinterest,
indifference,
and inattention.
like peacock,
her hair
ostentatious - diamonds
in her fearless lair
quietly…boldly…divine
human, yet
impregnable
pregnant
with perfume
pulse point spitfire -silk of moon
her countenance beams
lights up the stars of heaven
gate of pearls
luminescent
prettified
princess
outshines the knight. his armor
crimson and cherry
he lowers his shield, lays down
his bloody sword…
petrified
like tin man
he creaks
he reeks of oil, dead man’s spoil
valiant in battle
yet he cannot penetrate
royal spirit
of beauty
many moons
sail o’er
the cleansing pool, deep skimming
of flesh, breath and beast
the sun puts new clothes on him
he looks good as gold
shining
at the ball
eyes lock
key to her heart in his hand
she recognizes the night
they first met…he bows…she bends
her knees weak
for prince charming
diamonds,
like stars
well wishes…new beginnings
sparkle of rainbow
no more cries of war…wells tears
mad in love
drops her headdress

This is:
"An ominous notice to all oppressors of worlds"
Limitations Of Power
Even the mightiest and most impregnable wall
Looming over the weakest amidst endlessness
In hidden silence crumbles then eventually fall

Rhodes, Greece
she reluctantly...
dismantles her walls
and let's love in
long after
the first perfidy,
only to be struck by
yet another thunderbolt
of betrayal.
her heart
splinters in half
and hardens to granite;
cold to the touch!
impregnable barricade
now wraps around
a heart once inviting
with "stay away" sign
posted on it.
beset by cynicism
and lingering distrust.
an irreparable fissure.

Fire that lights up the heavens in the dark of night,
Whispers that echo across continents.
Burning ones, here and there, flashing like lightning;
To behold The ONE TRUE IMMORTAL GOD, is to die.
Light unapproachable, Life Incarnate.
GOD undefeatable, High Potentate.
Strong, impregnable, does not oscillate.
Grand sovereign, Supreme Prelate.
Silent, HIS Voice thunders,
GOD, in unbridled power
Thunders, no mortal can bear to hear
The nuances that brought forth all things from nothings.
The bear, the stork, all feed at HIS Table,
A trillion trillion creatures respond
To HIS Breath: all existences known and unknown
Close and in far untold reaches of space.
Lets leave you here'...
um over there...
Feel the freedom pier! And clanks in their dear old ships heightened, and waiting the fear.
The weed of the consternation, and overall equity to be so lazy about a non- conjoined thing...
To our future, that is nothing ethical, only a memory of the impregnable!
I know the rant is like the cascading drinks, lining imagery bars, 12 TV's per star, and they don't begin developing any memory until 2029 and ever afar!
That town was dirigible itself, threatening the fires of the eons by claiming their guard!
We did this time!
We even ate art!
We even flew cars!
I am sam of the cambridge a-part!
I do wood...
I am out on the sea of stars!
Please let me rhyme far.
...This mans a genius!
Desperate Wish
Dreaming of clouds watching frigid rain enfold arid ground
Disjointed thoughts embraced soothing translucent fingers
Lightning unveils upheaval within brewing without a sound
Eyes search for meaning demanding answers that matters
My mind bathes in a quagmire of a premeditated reminder
I was not the hero I pondered I might have been eons ago
The more the heart races toward that impregnable frontier
The lesser the value of such a desperate wish to not forego

Spiritual Optimism
Silenced voices for millennia traverse upon repressed pivotal moments
Deplorable vow of secrecy resonates amid impregnable embattlements
Ancient nomads above burning desert sense overwhelming compassion
Thirst quenched with essential nutrients rejuvenates tenets of past eon
Primal fear of cosmic unknowns planet in isolation impose concealment
Incessantly radiating interstellar illumination awaken fireflies iridescent
Enigmatic passageway to astounding revelation shrouded in symbolism
Sweep ambiguities away strengthening indefatigable spiritual optimism
