Premium Member Ruins

I remember it well- the old Broadway
My city celebrated years ago;
So nicely paved and lined with special stores
And curtained windows, seen in rooms above.
Where we would walk and shop with family;
Attend parades and honor holidays
With decorations and fun spots to meet,
Like the old coffee shop or ice cream bar.
The highlight of our city- old Broadway-
When times were simple- city pride was loved. 

Fast forward fifty years- my heart is sad.
A vision now of ruins it's become.
What stores are left- now draped with iron gates,
Or since abandoned, left in disrepair.
Apartment windows gape like hollow eyes,
And litter paves the entrances and curbs.
Not good to walk the streets- daytime or night.
Glories to ruins- Broadway has become;
Now blights the memory of simple days-
When the community clutched love and pride.


Premium Member Longing Troubled Soul-

"Hello,  all those dreams contrite. As I was awakened by the light. Oh! What sleepless nights to drink of the realities compounded by floricity and I dream not. Twas awaken by my sins my faults. I am in trouble as I tremble I remember the fire as I'm stopped I run. I race, I trip and I fall and I tumble and I tumble and I tumble and I tumble long and hard.
 I am encased in my sinful flesh in this mess I have not no one to embrace me. None to catch me to free me. This I thought then the lights shown it did not blind me. I was not blinded I was set free I was embraced by the halt it made me stop as it glittered it was as it moved as a flame. The heat was hot but yet I'm not burnt I was caught. Caught up I was engaged in raged inflamed
~
 I was brought to the house. Above the clouds in the third heavens I spoke loud to the flowers that never withers.  No pride no longer did I cry. I was shy yet I roar like a lion in the pleasantries in the shivering blights. That I left in sight I grew it was not night. For the day lasted always. As I see my Father's body shining. Brightly He's never wrong but eternally right. He shuns me He shines He engages all humanity. He is fluorific perfect light. So I rise no longer do I slumber. I opened mine eyes I am so humbled So soar that I rise I take a step again,  I breathe  I have a second breath I have not died. I have chosen I haven't flown I have gone I have grown. A longing troubled soul. Embraced, Kissed, Renewed Birth-Born Saved Safe again I am in heaven and on the throne is my God and beside Him is his son Jesus my, Savior the Christ"

Premium Member Midst Social Media Glitches

The Sovereign Creator is pleased with helpful modern inventions
Making mankind benefit from telecommunications so well
But for sure, He feels bad when in their vexing malfunctions
Email users in their exasperation feel their brain-nerves swell!

The Perfect Designer commends responsible computer experts
For their good contributions, indeed numerous
Yet He admonishes those geniuses to be accountable in giving alerts
Warning people about internet-driven virus!

Thus, I seek God for His wisdom
When confused with social media's bewildering entanglements
I’m sad though for those who abuse information-freedom
As they deny and neglect consequences of their engagements!

Likewise, I avoid being deceitfully puzzled
By varied scams’ alluring appeal and financially enticing 
Thru global “get-rich-quick” transactions for netizens to be wealth-dazzled
Using fake identities; yet others’ privacy --- compromising and exposing!

I do trust* God to prevail over “hacking” ventures
Of ill intentions, never amusing, to wreck information sites
Such are shocking inhumane gestures
Dominated by selfishness-blights and greediness' heights!

Hence, I rely in God with faith Who knows what’s best
For my communication partnerships despite websites' criticism-attacks…
To the Lord do I yield my questions for His great answers to the fullest
Since His omniscience subdues my doubts with His truth’s packs!

*Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

The surface of  of the sky, 
        pointing to the charms of your moons 
   and the reason why he knows you. 
        Verily, I say to you, By and By. 

          A glimmer of star light in an image tears 
         as a meteor of exotic ice creams to flavor. 
         Stardust of the wheel of the Universe cogs 
                             n-nissan s pores.

             The "Imagining lens' licked in might of will's. 
               clandestine mystery, teased and enticed" 
             Olefactory (a picture of the artistry in variety 
                in loves vast creativity voice of vise vice)". 
                    There is a line age- related scene where a
          constellation is placed in Gods hand, 
      an ancient bolt of Eros lightning appearing as 
                 born from dawn's golden gland, 
           (in the middle of a field of galaxies, brook of. 
     spurning on and on, expsandse'd-Song.Plan.)

             The image is a scene of a cosmic cloud rising 
          at an angle of positional love. 
             It shows the image holding a sphere of its own 
      light and one of its lamps in green neon 
            splitting the voids and blights. 
            The shape of its Arched bRow at CamerA, 
                   an echo of the concept of proof, 
                           of best in show, 
          held on his knee at the Fatherly throne. 
             The meaning of the shroud is like 
                           a poem to the poet, 
                that says " I was born to love, 
            to experience a vowed connection 
        and to be living poetry 
   in your midst in spite of the proof of how. I'd know."

The Snow Child

.
The child, the crow and the old man

A solitary crow on stilted tree was perched
An ugly black bird with beady eyes that searched
For carrion across the shady contoured scape
Where glimpsed a bent and shadowy shape

A lone old man who trudged the dusky track
Saw the crow upon the bough as black as black 
Their exchange of stares confirmed a mutual bond
One old, the other ugly both blights to mankind 

They talked and spoke in the tarnished light
Crow’s friend had died so he’d done the last rite
He’d been pining his loss till he saw the man
Whose face he knew of old but not the name

Crow pondered the past when he'd met the man
He had scavenged the streets when hit by a van
The man had carried him back to his home
And nursed him to health before letting him go

Crow wondered if he could repay this good deed
But his friend was old and bent and decrepit
A sudden flash of light now lit this gloomy land
And midst the whitened glow a child waved his hand

The child spoke softly with a purity from above 
He’d come to gift their kindness, their goodness and love
The crow who remembered his late friend that day
The man who saved crow and took him to safety

Both bound by the shackles of how others see them
Had made their days dull, depressed and dejected
The child now waved his hands o’er the hill and the vale
A blanket of gleam now pervaded  and lit up the day

The sky became brighter, the earth breathed new life
The old man reverted to youth again with energy rife
The sun gave crow’s feathers a heavenly sheen
 He was proud to be clever and black and pristine

Premium Member Healing Rains

In the darkened city, she slowly walked.
Baptismal rain droplets on her that 
seemed to talk.

The lovable scent of fresh raindrops filled 
her spirit.
There was God, hope and freshness in it.

She heard the soft meowing of a distant 
cat..
And she marveled that the earth was not flat.

Dreaming of driving through the Rockies one 
night.
She was reminded that God ruled this earth, 
not man  and his political hijinks and blights.

Man, still does not get it, peacemakers, they 
are not.
Casinos wide open but places to honor God...
firmly locked and shut.

The earth withstands the ignorance of man.
The woman, in her raincoat, did know how
their Creator can!

Her wonderful, thoughtful, walk came to an end.
She wished she had a place, to write a letter to
her Creator, that under starlight, could send!

We learn to pray by praying. We can spend hours studying other people's experiences, but nothing is more vivid than an individual's prayer and its heavenly response. By Poet

                        The night sky was utterly dazzling with the stars' awry.
            Breeze clasps surreal trees and lifts solemn blights.
I could hear my name being shouted from on high.
With a stunning show of a billion-plus lights.                       
                        Whimsically roving soul in luxurious zenith oozing.
The rivers and oceans merge with the spire's fusing.
Heaven's waves strive to mix with seraphic infusing. 
      Should my essence not combine with the divine?
            The cliffs kiss the lofty sky, and the rivers shine.
                        No rose can be saved if it loathes its own whine.
A gilded, serene grace, adorns bliss and joy's way.
            There are no tears or pain, only timeless rapture sites. 
      Vast relics of divine life, still sing duets and musing.
            Heaven is an exalting golden sea of canticles on the line.

Premium Member No Roses For Rose


Her eyes look up towards the amber skies
In solemn prayer before the Sun dies

Only to live again a zillion times
Prayer is not for the Sun as it climbs

Yet again setting the world's busy pace
Shining on the young girl's beautiful face

She pleads with the Lord, prays for her lover
To return, promised gifts to deliver

The long struggle for love is not over
Her lover is yet to come, moreover

Springtime's wasted, cold Autumn is on her
Pricking her like barbs for her to suffer

The lonely days in silent agony
Unable to withstand Antagony

From society, her family too
No wonder her staunch supporters are few

Days pass in the hope of a reunion
To spend the days with her loved companion

On a chilly morning, the post arrives
With the news of her lover's death, and drives

Her out of her mind into depression
Not many souls to shower compassion

Hopes ruined, dreams shattered she spent lonely nights
With all days in sorrow and sullen blights

The leaves of the trees were falling away
Tossed up and swirling to the ground each day

Winter's unkind drift cutting into skin
Like quickened knife unforgiving and mean

Where hope dies the will to survive is weak
If there's no will, there is no life to seek

The Sun rose marking yet another day
For all but the girl to no one's dismay

Shadows In the Dark Night

Darkness blights chilling 
streams ignite
stark shadows silhouetted 
against my window
shading the night; distilling the 
availing light
shrouding my inner sanctum; 
sheltering my fright
creeping and crawling with an 
eery spite
ghastly outlines swaying and 
swerving
wavering, quivering each fold 
dances
grainy emanations of wispy 
ghouls, stunted sprites
flash across bartered pane 
eclipsing the night
serenating my nerves; stalking 
my spirit
in rythmic cadence they appear 
then alight
metastasizing, then returning, 
my collected wits to spite
stealthily disappearing at 
dawn's first glint
sleeping 'till twilight then 
haunting vigil renews

Premium Member Busy To Fulfill Roles

Abounding in GOD Who meets every need

Blest to experience His goodness indeed

Cheerful along faith-propelled charity breed

Delighted midst gracious life-building deed

Enabled for trust’s soar, divinely freed

Fulfilling kindness against carnal greed

Gladly serving as the Saviour does lead

Held by His compassion-anchorage creed

I thank the LORD* Who moves me with love’s seed...

Jubilantly busy via peace-speed

Kindled to be functional, I must heed 

Labouring well, smiting blights that impede

Maximizing strength for others to feed

Never quitting as a bee, I'll succeed.

*1Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.
