On one Accord

on one accord everyone in this sacred room 
on one accord even those 
who are watching on Zoom 
on one accord on this Pentecost Sunday 
In the presence of the Lord God, 
we worship and pray

It matters not who's preaching 
It matters not who's teaching 
as long as the Holy Spirit is reaching 
and the power of God is unleashing 

on one Accord, Jesus came to extend 
a helping hand 
to express the Beatitudes 
and tell of His Father's plan 
on one accord, Jesus had a purpose and a mission 
to save lost souls as He advanced  
the Great Commission

It matters not who's preaching 
It matters not who's teaching 
as long as the Holy Spirit is reaching 
and the power of God is unleashing

the descension of the Holy Spirit 
on the disciples of Christ 
became the birth of the Christian church 
a godly invite 
and in recognition of the gift of the Spirit 
we now realize 
that the power and love God gave us 
Is the ultimate prize

now let's plant seeds 
to address people's needs 
with love in our actions 
and not judge nor begrudge the unchurched 
but to move with godly compassion 

It matters not who's preaching 
It matters not who's teaching 
as long as the Holy Spirit is reaching
and the power of God is unleashing 

It matters not who's in the pulpit 
It matters not who's there to inform 
as long as God's powers are unleashing 
and we are all on one accord

Premium Member A poet not a painter - 1272

" To act in a play in front of an empty theatre, surely does not evoke one's greatest performance. Human contact is imperative " ~~The Returning Poet~~

On a silken thread a purpose to be.
A woven tapestry, a prediction I see.
Declaration a pragmatist I am.
incandescent solitary ram,
Paramount core tenet is faith.
Soaring in space apparition or wraith.
In any dream unlike a lucid vision.
Trusting friendship, a provision.
Chilling icicles of Manifestation,
Earthliness all one in any nation.
Found redundant in a moral maze.
Softly threaded through a dusty haze.
Salvation looms with no ivory tower.
Almighty essence of purpose & power.
Endow feeling straight from the  heart
Countenance of friendships to start.
Pen to paper a need to belong.
Brush strokes never herald a swan song.
Innocence waiting not only for youth.
Steadfastly creating reality’s truth.
Life’s bouquet of a supportive forum.
Eloquent need for human decorum.
Secretive caverns, discrete Realms.
The depth of intrigue overwhelms.
Endangered ethics and morality.
Cosmic thoughts is it just formality?
Slivers of astral body in dreams.
Anodized pearls are the way it seems.
Obligatory, goodness explained.
No thought should be contained.
Fireflies flickering & transcending.
Belongingness never ending.
Positive energy and human need.
Faith desirable caution heed.
Human hearts fired support desired.
A oneness of minds souls conspired.
Connection of all human nature abide.
Wish peace whether or not on your side
Explaining human mortality.
Dripping with Instinct mentality,
Metaphysical dimensions,
Without human existence descension.

Shed My Skin

SHED MY SKIN…

SEETHING BENEATH THE SURFACE
ERUPTION IS IMMINENT 
NOT A QUESTION OF IF, BUT WHEN
AND THE TIME IS DRAWING NEAR…

FRUSTRATION BUILDING ON THE INSIDE
DESCENSION GROWING ALL AROUND 
YEARS OF TURMOIL FINALLY BOILING OVER
LEAVING NOTHING UNSCATHED IN ITS WAKE

MY DEMISE MAY RESULT FROM MY ACTIONS
AND MY WORDS MAY SEAL MY FATE
CARVED IN THE STONE ON THE WALLS
THAT I INTEND TO BRING DOWN AROUND ME

…UNFORTUNATE BUT TRUE, ARE THE FEELINGS
THAT LIE WITHIN ME
CHAINS THAT HAVE FOREVER HELD ME BOUND
BUT NOW MY STRENGTH IS GROWING AND MY
RAGE TO OVERCOME IS BUILDING
AND THE PRICE WILL BE PAID ONE THOUSAND
 TIMES OVER BY EVERYONE IN MY PATH…

THE TIME HAS COME TO SHED THE SKIN THAT HAS CONTAINED ME,
REVEALING TO THE WORLD
THE REAL ME, THE CONCEALED ME……
AND SOME MAY NOT LIKE WHAT THEY SEE

Premium Member Pearlescence

pearlescent, our ivory eyes met
     cascading curtain limbs concealing
         irises entwined in the deep unknown
like forest roots creeping

cryptic cedarwood cologne 
      fused with ravenous rose perfume
           blending in every crevice

the weeping cherry's spread-
      a bedroom of petals

nature's chandelier dimmed 
      butterscotch disk slipping
as eventide crimped

rim of vermillion pressing 
      upon confection skin
          deepening aegean
with intensifying connection

plumb descension of melting heat
       hastening each heartbeat
          thumping to the thrum of feral beasts
arising for their woodland feast...

a barge of howling surrounding ebony
        ecstasy's reach 

cherry's tang on tantalizing tongues
        hung like the moon 
           ripe with enticement
gliding with pearlescence

Premium Member Gethsemane

God is waiting to meet us in a garden called Gethsemane

Essential to our relationship with God is spending time with Him

There will always be a 'battle royal of temptations' to avoid this place

Human-defined happiness and personal fulfillment cannot be found here

Serenity to God's will is the highest achievement to be found in Gethsemane

Emptying of our fleshly goals and selfish ambitions take place in Gethsemane

More of God is the golden discovery, and less of us is the greatest victory 

Ascension of God's Glory and the descension of our will are what happens here

Newness, restoration, repentance, resurrection, and revival are conceived here

Every part of our being and the deepest areas of our hearts are dealt with here

Premium Member Knowing Angels

Angels are almost silent
Subtle 
treadbare steppers
subliminal stalkers 
determinedly quiet 
except at choir 
a pair of cherubic hums 
can equivalate 
to the drones 
of a billion bees. 

Can you separate 
the noises
of bouncing sparrows 
on wet sands,
from belly-down
thin-skinned slitherers 
roaming in beds of grass - 
obscenely dense, 
from burglarizing ants at a picnic party?

Angels are seen
since they come to visit. 
Unannounced,
but friendly faces 
beaconing
like lighthouses.
Their halogen coronets 
fulgurate and exorcise 
diabolical agency. 
                                                                  
Other angels may be noticed. 
An invasive host 
shod in threatening boots 
dangling peace and safety
but entangling angles
strangle. 
Hopes
course
in descension:
brambles
boulders 
ports of fire.

Constipated Confinement

turning down the volume
that is what i am thinking as i am blinking
grabbing the last bottle of cream soda
that is my mental escape from a wrath i cannot comprehend
imagining you naked and ready to go down
that is the way i uplift myself while you are bringing me down 

the grenade in my brain is on the brink of exploding
the balloon of my self esteem is at the dangerous edge of imploding
the merger of the two is unseen due to the sour blindness of the moment
the spittle burns like a near death experience on Christmas day
the accusations decapitate like a merciless machete moonlighting
the end is the beginning of the minuscule additional
our love has been uprooted by a hurricane so petty and unnecessary
speechlessness post descension is the new loquatious
bye bye sweet valentine era....it was nice pre-post-construction

Premium Member Regrets

Frank S. had a few
  But then again
'Too few to mention'

Yet to this, my plea
  Please take heed
Very kindly, pay attention

Who hasn't had
  affairs of love
that ended bad
  full elbow shove

Down on one knee
  in misery
Pure discontent-ion...

The flame returned
  but you got burned
Entreaties spurned
  both fists clenched and -- 

You vowed, "No more!"
  there on the floor
in Regret's descension

But know one thing
  There comes the Spring
and Love will bloom
  So, give it room

And then, once more
  True Love will soar
~ Your Heart's Ascension!

         ********
Yes, know one thing
   There comes the Spring
When roses bloom
   So give them room

And once again
True Love will send
   ~ Your heart a-winging!

Autumn's Wink at Winter

Stares at the glit of a harvested moon,
felicitous sways northernly o'er ripen earth,
divorcing neath horizon's haulage.

Rises the yam sun that courses a forenoon cast,
towering mist espoused crusted loam and verdurous life,
progresses towards insignificance.

Abandon lofty leafy legions, 
descension in crumpled layers,
... of impaled saffron petals,
... of lain chartreuse fronds.

Strewn against a capricious path,
the weight of feet crinkles crispy snaps to arouse the quietude,
echoes summons a dusty field in white,
ebbing the tides of a wintry breath.

Afar strewed a few sunflowers to escort its mentored sun,
ere setting to their eastward repose position.

Brisk breeze encounters a trial,
a crafted shawl snuggly wraps,
homeward bound via hot cider,
a lit fireplace as a book is read.

A forested cabin well-engaged boast outwardly entertained,
prominence forestalls in burgundy, copper, and blonde,
snowflakes tenderly smooch the befallen perianths,
forgivingly melts to the usual taste of Autumn.

In the beginning ...," roosts; 
            Christians and Jewish boosts.



                     Hubs stretched out their ellipsed
              rung, un-Earth cures eclipsed
       space; science clues darkling,
emerging as sparkling.



Up and down, primordial
           chains--retards cordial.
                 Time slot checking briefly
                          when brain cells claim chiefly.



       Focused an analyst
         review a panelist,
     truth and not devious;
   now, post-, and previous.

                                                 Be of good health, nourish,
                                                    mindful, and to flourish
                                                    together ... we harness
                                                our outreached true farness.

   Constants are the scatheful,
     equaled by the faithful ...
  life marks trails that puncture
     time cross-over juncture.



                                                                     Naysayers, "That's crackpot!"
                                Truth smiles at the jackpot
              as hopes, a bit mournful
              of those fiercely scornful



   Truth be told--mortified,
      unseat those fortified,
         advent-relegating
            actions delegating,
               doting are distinguished
                  evil hailed extinguished,
                     sage passage dutiful,
                        heart imparts beautiful.

                                                Gauging your fealty
                                             accents self-realty ...
                                          descension diminished;
                                       exalted goals finished.

                                    Daily scriptures strengthen,
                                 understanding lengthen
                              all regenerated
                           by the venerated.



   A righteous behavior,
      prophets teach, a savior ...
         of a lost lamb was--not,
            for The Shepherd does--not,
               hence, Heaven will cherish,
                  hell reroutes won't perish,
                     reborn renews brilliance,
                        transforming resilience.
