He's my Savior 
Always there ready 
Just to protect 
Defend me 
All the 
Time 


Because He's our Savior 
With Him my sins are gone...

Oh the images we freeze in time

the sweet, sweet scents that bring recall

the sharp and painful longing that belongings bring

for those lost or lingering on sheets of lavender

"I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs no poet has ever painted
Voices call out to me, straight to my heart"

THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOUND BUSINESS
THEY CONDUCTED THESE DOINGS UNDER 
THE CLOAK OF EAGERNESS
READY AND WILLING TO TAKE PART IN SOMETHING
SPECIAL AND SOMETHING SO FUTURISTIC

The Unanswered Plea of Centuries



You know
Just for once
Give me a God
Who understands
A God that answers
A God that heeds
And acts on prayers

A God that doesn’t pretend
With mysterious hog wash
And convenient coincidence

A God profound
In it’s helping hand
Who...

Swords speak brittle metal thrusts
 singing a song in the wind by touch and lost trust;
blade upon blade clanging the swish of empty points
 deeply cut for glory and honor now disjoint.

The sword speaks forged...

He records the works of his life, the ephemera
he once scrawled onto the tissue thin,
thinking them indelible blueprints.
Most were fables told to a dying legend,
Pastimes, that were chariot wheels
for his little red wagon.

He is an...

Its fluttering wings as it flits round the lamp
That glows in the street that is misty and damp
Clack like a skeletal vampire in flight
And cast evil shadows like bats in the night

Tonight in the alleyways,...

Shifting murmurs and laughter in the soil as defenceless progeny play

This is a poem to tell you what poetry must be,
A how-to-write-a-poem guidebook for you, by me.

A poem must have both rhythm and rhyme,
And be happy and jumpy and apply to the time.

Ignorance devises us
Makes us look different
We forget who we are
Our existences and connections
We don’t talk about life but money
Union but daily fighting
Reunion but disconnection
We believe that we are different
While using the same oxygen
We don’t know...

City scapes
Street lamps awake slowly to its rhythm’s 
Silver neon’s reflecting electric cold heat
Phosphorescent shadows echo from
The still night off the black streets of tomorrow

Blighted tenements amidst the 
Bleak gardens of despair
Naked piles of broken...

Troubled with the coat of arm-
For...
