Heterodox Genesis

at the beginning earth was a place uninhabitable 
to any living thing, it was nothing but a furiously 
burning wandering fireball in an immeasurable open space

while wandering in space, 
however, hit by the meteoric showers, bumped into planetoids, 
and from its own gravity the earth gradually lost its surface heat
and became a gigantic piece of rock covered with the great many wrinkles

in order to survive, 
the living thing cannot afford to lose time any more in this darkness of unknown beginning or inconceivable end, it must find a place to settle and bring new life 
into the world,
came and clung to the surface of the rock and struggled to hold onto it

one day, when a cry of pitiable life tore the standstill time into pieces
because it was unable to bear the time that is infinitely quiescent any longer, 
it echoed in the space and returned to earth as a dim light

in that light the sighs of the living thing heaped up high 
and became air, in that gleam the tears of the animated thing
came together and became waters

when water swelled to overflow it became lakes, rivers and seas
and when air became heavier it raised itself to a wind, 
and when wind passed through the surface of earth
it turned into vales, hills and clouds

life began with great struggles and confirmed by quickening 
in the darkness and echoing heartrending cry, though grew while calling the sea 
a mother and the mountain a father, and conceived meaning of lots of phenomena:

why the rivers flow and clouds drift, dews on the grasses 
change into fogs and finally dissipate, 
the stars come to visit the lakes 
and kiss to form ripples at night

the seed of arrogance grew in the heart of this creature
spreading rapidly among the creatures living in the surface of the earth
and when his arrogance reached to the heaven, the creatures threw stones 
in the seas, set fires on mountains, while boasting with those words:  
“we conquered world, the world is under our feet”

hence the earth surged by a raging water,
and the windstorm rose to shake the rocks in the mountains violently

nonetheless, the creature did not introspect 
his own detestable deeds but continuously acted 
in a lordly manner throwing his chest out as before, 

though enjoying saying this favorite phrase: 
“this age is a corrupted age! this age is a degenerate age!”

Goodbye Marybeth

Marybeth, my little sister, the baby of the family.
A wild blonde, just like her mom, 
She had to have her candy!
From weed to perks, triple two-ees and ludes
Marybeth and Judy were always stewed.
That was in high school, and a few years before
They both settled down like the girl next door.
A husband and children just like Karen and Kate
But mom never met them
She had them too late.
Spent time with her dad, she loved him to death,
He hated her husband, She was his Marybeth!
She shared all her secrets and turned him against
The man that she married - it didn't make sense.
Mare landed a job with the Kromberger clan
They loved her like family; maybe more than...
Her life was too short, her children too young
To lose their dear mother, God, what have You done?
She paid all her dues with the pain she endured
For the past seven years with no hope for a cure.
Being blind was another effect of the coma
And a few years went by before carcinoma 
Eating food from a cup was humbling for sure,
But Mare always kept some humor in store
Her wish when she left us, was for us not to cry
Remember the good times, and stop asking why.
Her time was her time and we'll all have our day
For leaving this life, for slipping away
Our guardian angels are right by our sides
They take our hand gently along with our Guides
And cross us to where we no longer need
The pain and the suffering to which we agreed.
There's always a reason, for the things of today
We can't see the big picture, Faith asks us to pray.
One fact is for sure, we all have a Life Purpose
It's always much deeper than what's seen on the surface
Marybeth's purpose included us all
I'm grateful for that, but what the heck was it for?
Someday I'll look back, probably next New Years Eve.
A year will have passed, I'll still not have grieved.
The hard part for me is the 'wanting' to leave.
Tired of living?  I just can't conceive.
Watch what you 'give,' you will surely receive
Exactly the same as your intention conceived.
It may have been wrapped in beautiful gold
Expecting more thanks than the newspaper-rolled.
Giving without expectations in mind
Is the secret of leaving this world behind.
Then we get to stay and see what makes us tick
We don't judge, we don't talk, just observe 
Don't get sick.
It's not personal.  Whew....
Love you Mare, See you there.

Premium Member Heavenly Adventure

At conception, the point of his earthly beginning inside his mother's womb, there was a light, the likes of which he had not seen until now at the point of his death.  He shared with me that he had lived 85 years on earth until his demise two months ago. As he thought upon the light, he remembered that the light was not as bright as the light at his conception.  That is to say, he believes when he really dies, there will be an identical light like the one he saw when he was being conceived.  

I was privileged to listen and record his most remarkable story of how he died, went to heaven, and returned to tell his story. His sojourn there was a total of some 60 seconds.  But if a thousand years is one day*, we are talking a heavenly timeframe of far more than 60 seconds.  A brief estimate and some calculations explain why he tells me that he was in heaven long enough to visit a number of deceased loved ones, friends, and Biblical characters. For example, he met the young boy who provided the bread and fish Jesus used to feed 5,000 people.  He had always been overwhelmed with the unselfishness displayed by the young lad and his willingness to be a tool for Christ in the performance of one of the world's greatest miracles.  The lad never sought recognition.

He told me about a grandfather from four generations back whose name his family was never able to produce.  He had suspected it to be a Bible name because his great grandfather's name was Daniel.  He was right because he met him in heaven, and his name was Jeremiah.  He was so happy as he told me about the family members he met.  There were so many people to meet and so much beauty surrounding the entire scenery.  He wanted to stay, but the angel informed him that God simply wanted to give him a taste of his future.  For now, it was not his time, because his earthly mission and purpose were not completed.
                                                                  
So now, at 85, he's anticipating that exit light which will be there in all its splendor at his demise, he is content to live until his mission is completed.

Premium Member Unchain the Woman

Perfectly conceived in the Almighty’s omniscience 
she was breathed with life wondrously by the Creator
granted full freedom to accomplish entrusted role
which according to the Scriptures, is “an help meet for him*.” 

As such, what right has anyone to chain her?
to imprison her soul?
to enslave her being?
to diminish her feminine quality?

Completing the man by virtue of her God-granted attributes
she is vitally needed with her significance
a home can’t be a home without her
and a family devoid of her touch loses its verity.

Then why is she treated as a mere possession?
as an object of masculine’s lust?
as a darling partner to meet sexual cravings for a night?
as a comfort-giver who is not emotionally compensated?

The woman awesomely created by the Sovereign
is that lady with a unique task to perform
she can be your daughter, sister, mother, or girl friend
who’s doing her very best --- thru love's commitment of gracious trust.

Woe unto anyone who is undermining her and her personhood
mistreating her contrary to justice essence
abusing her against righteousness precept
minimizing her worth along unfair value system.

In the name of the Lord Who is the great Defender  
the ultimate fortress, protector and sustainer of life...
everyone is called upon to stop chaining the woman…
since depriving her of genuine freedom means mankind’s liberty-loss.

Christ be praised for His compassion-propelled dealings 
with women during His earthly ministry:
He showed them His care, forgiveness, comfort, appreciation
...brought to them healing of wellness favour
reaching-out to those grieving with mercy...
...lifted the ones humiliated publicly, granting His pardon…
rescuing their repentant souls from the condemnation of sin’s wages.

As a woman privileged to enjoy God-driven freedom bliss
I strive with faith to help advocate for human lawful rights
while praying for and assisting victims of "violence against women"
and spiritually leading them to the divine freedom Source.   

*Genesis 2:23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Kodak Moment

I had dinner with a king
                                 as we spent all night drinking
                                     in each other's weakness
                       along with his conscious and my deepness
                                  existing in a balance so keen.
          
                              We've conceived in the evening
                                     a mindset so eloquent
                               understanding that we are the
                              equivalent to each other's thing.
                                 The cleansing retreat of this 
                            piece of my peace is a clear ecstasy 
                                 clinging freely on our wings.

                                       And even this hook 
                                    doesn't feel like enough
                            while overdosing with slightest crush
                                 blushing at the tightest hugs.
                                Feel like it can't be too much
                          and yes, I might be a bit caught up
                                  into what we have going 
                           even if it's only for a kodak moment.

                           I was content with the time spent
                          as we ascend past bottomless ends.
                                   Mutually glowing while
                          complimenting each other's flowing
                                going in deep and showing
                     the ugly truth, the scars, the rough stuff,
                        the tears, the pain, the lost loves.

                         Your presence protecting my energy
                             as you feed the queen in me.
                             Blessing me ever so sweetly
                            with words beyond powerful
                                so enchanting, so healing
                                 nothing short of magical.

                            But please then, with no warning
                                don't leave me in the deep in 
                            to drown in our mutual attraction
                             that just so happened to happen
                               that one wonderful evening.

You Kill My Heart All Over Again

I was doing great the other day, everything was going my way.
                                Then I see your face and my heart splatters all over the place.
                          I see you with your new love, and the little boy you conceived in love.
                                           I'm glad to see you happy with your little boy.
       It fills my heart with joy to know you've grown up and are happy being an 
awsome dad,
                                              that you were always meant to be.
                                You were so many good things that you never could see.
                                   I knew, I've known all along that your will was strong.
                                    Although I'm happy for you a sadness lingers on.
                     I try my hardest to fight it back and keep my composure strong.
                         I still want you and can't have you, a fact I deal with everyday.
                       It stings my heart to know that she's there to share your life with you.
                 I know it's pretty silly the feel the way I do, we weren't together very long 
it bairley lasted a minute.
                                             My life feels a little empty without you in it.
                                       I never believed in soulmates until the day we met.
                                  I remember that day so well, it was so clique, but it was real.
                                             Our eyes met and our hearts connected.
                                 It only lasted a second, but I felt it right down to the bone.
                          So know your never alone, I will always be there in some sense or 
another.
                 Maybe it's really over and it was our last chance, I think our love 
deserves a second dance.
                 I might not be talking about lovers, cause I understand your a 
committed man.
                               I don't want to hurt anyone, maybe a friendship could emerge?
                 I'd rather have that than nothing at all, please know I'm here whenever 
you fall.
                                    Everytime I see you you kill my heart all over again.
                                          I'm waiting for my friend , "until the end."

Premium Member Poetry Was Her Best Lover- Not For Contest

Poetry was her best lover
like no other
he loved her
without restraint
She could be herself
and explore
discovering
secret pleasures and fantasies

Naked above the covers
he let her lie exposed
as he slowly caressed her imagination
making her flow
with the sweet essence of her soul
in waves of creative delirium

Flying free~~~
he let her be
unfettered
unashamed
unworried of how to please
or how to tease
just simply to be
a woman in a prelude
to ecstasy

Poetry was her best lover
her escape from reality
in clandestine intimacy
he ravished her mind
again and again
for all he wanted
was for her 
to experience
to taste
every pleasure
he had to offer

Her insatiable appetite
he fed
with firm truths
that burst forth with wisdom
He fed her desire
to reach supremacy
He never betrayed
or delayed
in pleasing her
in giving her just what she wanted
in different ways and forms
his creativity endless

Poetry was her best lover
the only time in her day
when she had her way
and could be free
to be the woman she was meant to be:
Sensual and sultry, sexy and savory 
not having to hide
behind the guise
the veil of culture
or religion
or misconstrued sexism
or alibis
being demure
“sterile”
when she was fertile
laden with passion
waiting to be filled
with word seeds of ingenuity

Poetry was her best lover
he adored her as she was
and he gave and gave 
at times
leading her in submission to his will
taming her
training her
to live in the confines
of his rules...

For perfection to be reached
she had to follow his lead
to the pinnacle of pleasure
where all was in rhythmic union and rhyme
in the sublime 
she was oblivious to time
Ah....sweet release~~~

In the after glow
he wouldn't let her go
but held her safe and secure
basking in the satisfaction
of a fruitful union
serene in the knowledge
that beauty has been conceived 
waiting for delivery

Yes, Poetry was her best lover
and she came looking for him
begging him to take her 
again and again and again
to transport her to heaven from hell
to compel her to see
what life was meant to be

Poetry was her best lover
and she had no need of another
to help her discover
her own entity….
None other
than her best lover
Poetry....

Christmas In Covid Times

Midst efforts to resolve a viral pandemic
Causing global illness and death epidemic
As we process the merits of our heartfelt fears
Mixed with worry, doubt, dread, anger, and sometimes tears
Let’s not forget about the virgin who conceived
A child sent from God, so our sins could be relieved.

As we shelter in our places of seclusion
Where once welcomed visits are now an intrusion
As we inhale and exhale covered by our mask
While simple routines are now a cumbersome task
Let’s recall that to the virgin a child was born
Who would bring hope, joy, and peace to a world forlorn

When six feet apart striving for social distance
Has become the new normal of our existence
When our multiple efforts of sanitation
Instigates within us constant aggravation
Visit the manger, see Joseph and his betrothed
Gaze upon the child who in swaddling rags was clothed

When the news of more COVID cases scours the land
When the ones who govern hand down a new demand
When after each encounter we wash our hands clean
As we hope and pray each day for a new vaccine
Listen to the voices of the angelic throng
Announcing the Messiah’s presence in their song

As new stipulations create family strain
And events occur causing economic pain
When we come in close contact with those infected
Then obey rules of quarantine as directed
Let’s treasure the glorious news of a savior
Who came to remedy our sinful behavior

When we grieve a cherished friend or loved one who dies
And we can’t properly gather to say goodbyes 
When we want to weep and give each other a hug
But we are restricted to a stare and a shrug
Let’s join the angels in praising the Prince of Peace
For in His grace and mercy we will find release

When each retail store bears the sign “masks are required”
And every adventure makes us tense and tired
When we learn that someone had a positive test
And we retreat to our homes for much needed rest
Let’s treasure Jesus, ponder His truth in our heart
With fresh faith in Him tomorrow a new day start

Midst our expressed concerns about the world’s future
Worrying that the wounds are too deep to suture
When mental anguish and fear are out of control
When encouraging words lack power to console
Recall that our purpose is to give Christ glory
And our mission is to propagate His story

Premium Member Now Jericho, Besieged By Israel

Now Jericho, besieged by Israel,
Had shut its doors, and none went in or out.
The LORD told Joshua, “If you’ll believe,
We’re going to bring these walls down with a shout.

His mighty men of valor are inside;
The king of Jericho also awaits.
You and your men of war shall march around
The city once a day, outside the gates.

For six days, thus you shall just hold the line,
While seven priests before you bear the ark,
But on the seventh day, we’ll mix things up,
And march around the walls from dawn till dark.

Yes, seven times around we’ll go that day,
And all the time we will not say a word,
But when the final circuit is complete,
The priests will lift their horns and make them heard.

And when the people hear the trumpet sound,
They’ll shout a mighty shout with one loud voice.
This fortress, Jericho, will see its end.
The walls will simply fall; they’ll have no choice.”

Now Joshua was faithful to the LORD,
And honored Him by bringing this report,
But one can scarce conceive his fighting men’s
Response to battle planning of this sort.

But wonders also work in people’s hearts;
The plan unfolded as the LORD conceived.
For faithfully, the LORD had led His flock,
And so they heard their leader and believed.

So for the days that numbered one through six,
The vanguard, ark, and priests all went around,
Encircling the city with their march,
They made no noise except the trumpet sound.

The seventh day arrived; long was the march,
For seven times around those walls, they went,
And when the priests set lips upon the horns,
The host cried out: one voice without relent.

And lo, it came to pass just as God said;
The walls of Jericho fell, tumbled flat.
Devotion to destruction happened next;
We’ll have a bit more to say about that.

For God had looked on Canaan as a judge,
And found them guilty of a great offense;
They gave their children over to false gods.
Incensed, His wrath against them was intense.

And so, in handing over Jericho,
He gave to Joshua a harsh command,
“You must destroy, yes, every living thing
To rid the evil in this promised land.”

So Joshua then did as he was told;
The Canaanites, once giants, now ran scared.
But he made good; Rahab befell no harm,
And her entire house, he also spared.

(from Joshua 6)

Biography (Day One)

I came out screaming from the womb
No I am not a malcontent, I innocent
Was slapped upon my nakedness. Gloom
Was the first thing I grasp, a dissident
             Wet and squirming in ackward light
             Suddenly changes, I could not swim
             This new ocean of day becoming night
             I slept so that I would not know the grim.

My mother's last child sixteen years gone
All the flowers were dried up in their bed
And yet old skies make still a brighter dawn
But someone superior wanted me here instead
             I had a purpose before I was conceived
             My mission awaited me the day I was born
             My father was being rolled up like a sleeve
             They were at late evening, I was at morn.

I often wondered what he said to her, before
I am sure they did not hold hands about me
The liquid tongue of tidal waves on the shore
Sang not in prophecy, nor splash of memory
            She must have surprised him with surprise
            Ebb and flowing either which crinkling way:
            O I am about unamask our love's disguise

And then came March, and the phoenix spring
Ecstacy that came long before, now to follow
The puffs and groans of agony, making the wing
Puts a strain on the moth. March is a mellow
            Month ending when I am coming new
            From the wet blackness where God too
            Wet his ankle in the milk mildness of dew
            I am a child of spring, but how dry I grew.

What was the boring sum of my days you ask
This waking and sleeping and smiling on cue
When my physiology grounding them in task
Spoke of my humanity, making me like you
            O I had such dreams then, not where
            I am heading now and still do not know
            But where I coming from, the comfort there
            And memory fading, fading the more I grow.

Here is the sum of it, the absolute beauty
Of being born, and brimming with reality of God
Heaven is somewhere in the past, O duty
Shall find me there if earth backward would trod
            There is a mystery paling life at the edge
            Of life, There is a depth in us shallowed by time
            And I cannot unthirst me of this knowledge
            It is too absolute, and O, it is too sublime
