Long Christens Poems

He silences the vulgar roar
Of loneliness and fear
He gentles all the stormy wars
Between sin and my spirit
He christens my heart’s kiss
With inspiration so tender
He sprinkles kindness, humility
All around my soul’s belief

He lingers on my spirit’s...

Resting on the mountains,
Suggesting joy and laughter,
Reflecting grace, stirring up…
Happiness that erases every doubt,
Silences every worry and fear,
Reminds the heart to be thankful…

Because, as I walk the autumn path
Delicious scents, rustling in the air,
Quieting my...

The maze is
Inside.

Navigation here is like trying
To take a dump
After having too much
White rice. 

You get further in
Only to pique 
Frustrated 
In cramps,
Un-amused. 

Perhaps… after the cramps…

You find braces
A gawky smile,

Tightened pants,
A cisgender boy 
Pinning...

I, a salty scarecrow, roam the shoreline

I can record that voice,
 When the radio can’t catch a wave,
 convert it to Morse code and send it to infinity
 and somewhere on the other side of the earth,
 Someone christens this joke...

*Inspired by George Dunlop Leslie's painting of the same title

The wizard's slumbering garden 
spins magic with ivy thread.
The lure of this mystical web
snares the beauteous girl in red.

He christens this damsel "Scarlet"
for the hue of...

Pulsating honor doth corroded hearts impound
A blustery breeze echoes cries from each, preceding battleground
A recurring, eager parade of reporters, gawkers freely roam distant mound
Below, fatigued, tidy mass of steeled infantry; to death's throes bound
Neighing horses...

Cicada shell needed discarding, fast
Desperately ready for what she will become 
Stepping rapidly out of her pitchy past
Towards freshness, her chance to succumb 

Wavered mirage solidified as suitable man
Opportunity usually slashed with cruelty
Sigrid's vehemence needed...

          Chilled senses in the mist, fill of something sweet
Sun teases its reveal, tempting me to pause

Day's royal blue canopy fades into the outer recesses of space and time
As hoary sun sheds its fiery cloak for a deeper hue
Gilding light retracts its flaming parasol to horizon's edge
Last burning ember coalesces into...

A hot sunny day
Tropical isle
My dark haired love
Sure makes me smile
 
I admire her beauty
Her body so pert
But most of all
Her soul and her heart
 
In the scorching heat
She treats me to share
Under the small...

Sacral veil that shrouds bright hopes, dark fears
Screening altar that christens so deep a bond
Scrolled with the innocence of carefree years
Sacrificial shutter signifying all self-serving interests will abscond
Separating from the corporeal ties that correspond
Shade shielding...

I love her limpid, clear blue-eyes
      and her long, yellow tresses;
wise, and with grace that never dies
      or wavers, she blesses.

Behind those intelligent eyes,

Effervescent laughter blows over vales
then falls soft to glaze new blooms posed genteel.
Gracious stems lift smiles to foamed skies surreal,
riding on sunrays of shimmery sails.

Splendid dreams bubble up from blossoms bright,
a sparkling scene as petals...

Harvest moon christens autumn's 
regal jubilee
But festive soul pants for June's, 
Rose moon matinee
Autumn's leaves sparkle with newly 
minted sleeves
Yet my mellowed heart for 
summer's jade cloak grieves
Bold colors tinge forest canvas 
with newly painted...

The cross is a symbol
of abject suffering
and base brutality,
lacking humanity.

Jesus nailed to the cross,
is a vile depiction of
cruelty and torture
causing anguish and death.

I find it curious
that Christens would select
such a gruesome image
to symbolize God's love.

Invitation to a Garden Wedding

What temple of praise is it that we raise?
A Sunday church of sermons and duty
for souls whose altar craze may lose its blaze?
That which is of Love could lose its beauty?

Named by someone else's mouth,
you enter words,
they become your horses,
you ride them,

then a time comes when they ride you,
you become their hoof-beats.

Your name was always
that which came out of a womb
to Say Itself,
yet your given...
