Not aseity

Where is His power?
Do not let His will sour
Why you don't flower

Man is not the cure
His righteousness is manure
God-Man must procure

Can't laugh off this One
Demons in the swine are done

   one month shy of fifty years, no deity could answer

Premium Member Covidia
She came from nowhere, mouse-like quiet
At first we thought it’s just a trick
But soon her powers were dark like night
We saw her strength cut to the quick.

Covidia came from foreign lands
But traveled fast with power...

The pain lacks thought and doubt perhaps that's it

Premium Member Bougainvillea
Bold, bright...unmistakable 
she dresses in vivid pinks or purples
sometimes splashes of oranges or golds.
Her lavish flashes of flowers shine
and yet...
…brilliant bougainvillea has

Joker's Folly
Insult the sun and embitter the world
as you live for the day's demise.
A current of crumpled up silver wishes
passed you in the rising tide.
Once in your hollow attractive youth
the world was fooled for a moment.

to identify me as your blood
Did I cork up my love

No Voice, No Name
Bloody fetus ripped to shreds
Tissue mass scarlet red
Ancient slime, evolution stew
That was all I thought of you
Your life demands inconvience me
I'll kill you now to keep me free
My idol, my god, myself be praised
A sacrifice...

Premium Member Hard Loving Woman
She was a hard woman to love
She was the type to hold a grudge
Her tongue could cut like a razor
Cut to the quick, full of danger
She'd carve you up, make your heart bleed
Then smile so...
