Long Call down Poems

It’s getting late and I can’t wait to sleep. 
Insomnia always has hold of me at bedtime.
Tonight I feel hopeful of a visit from the sandman!
My adult son and his buddies are drinking and playing...

I do not envy the poor in the land;
What does my life has to do with their stinking lives?
I do not envy the needy in the society;
Their lives are one of my dreams to change,

You see them all around these days,
braying loud on the internet,
people claiming that they’re victims,
demanding you ‘recognize’ that.
But when they explain what is wrong
biting back a laugh is quite hard,
half the things they complain of
don’t...

Who will raise the next Elijahs of God?

Octupi are too touchy feely always begging for the real thing way too early,

A blessing is more 
Than some words on a page
Or to follow a sneeze
Or break a leg for the stage 

It's more than just sentiment
It is conscious decision
To send love and kindness
With a purpose...

Summer is ending, so begins fall
I am scared that the season will begin at all
Surrounded by people, and flinch at a call
Sit in a dark room with a chair at the wall
Should be outside with...

The narrowing of choice, opaque or black?
Unconfident die castes vote ballot blank,
How has our circus bread become this bland?
What a diverse homogeneous blend,
All stitched to sleeves but less with blood to bleed,
Philosophy’s deep silenced sonar...

I.

They burgeoned above my nostrils
With buds that obscured my visions
They walled my head with fences
Towered above my five senses
Distant from myself, things looked too low
Until I drew closer, I couldn't tell
Just how down I was
Just...

	John 19:28-30
You hung on a cross
Until you died,
“It is finished” you cried
Giving up your spirit,
Thanks for dying for me.

	Luke 9:9-10
You told Zacchaeus salvation 
Had come to his house,
Because your goal was to
Seek...

Blurry thoughts, hurried thoughts, they need to settle down. 
Too tired to move, to worn out to groove, I'm frustrated all around. 
Crazy voice, I have no choice, I want to surrender to sweet sleep....

Look at yourself Mr Hunt!
   How can you be trusted.
Appalled by indoor comments of a prisonary view.

Native species fade through the mass destruction of our lands,
Yet you in the veil of science
Conserve a...

Can you smell the warm wax from the candles so bright?
Or see the winged creatures flying high in the night?

Is the wind blowing briskly and chilling your bones?
Does the nip in the air make you...

When we make love
our souls unite 
in your beautiful onyx
eyes eternities love shines
into our world

We give thanks to the Almighty 
that we consciously call down 
when we conceive, a gift and

I'm so bored with winter
Waiting for the thaw
That I spread mayonnaise on the ceiling
And Parkay on the walls

Chicken salad on the chandelier
Tuna on the couch
A sprinkle of some bacon bits
Straight out of the pouch

Grape jelly...

Not a torch, a candle
marks the gate to life,
in peril for its faithfulness
and unafraid to die.

And were its flame extinguished
as a witness to devotion,
all the marchers, self-inflamed,
would know the victory 
is of a new Jerusalem

Dreams of perfect love

Beautiful endeavors

Tempting are the visions
on flowing fields a’ roll
Echoes sing our praises
of worlds we both have seen
Now we are together
and life is but a dream

Sunset early evenings
