Long Dread(a) Poems

So it begins anew
a day to dread, a day to wake up to
I'd say all I want to do is sleep, if sleep didn't terrify me
so I stay up till I faint
an opaque way to...

In my sanctuary’s hush where Poe’s tales I clasp
Into his world I plunge with a breath, a rasp.
Beneath the creaking floorboards a heart's pulse
In my mind, my mind, oh it throbs and gasps;
Suddenly then I'm...

Longing for hope to open a door
She couldn’t rest in her broken heart
Her spirit was melting from the flames
Of a sadness that penetrated her mind
Fell across her life like a...

The sun rises every morning, dawning
With renewed hope and joy, peace

Fragile light, softly glowing
Sighs on the breath,
Caressing the voice of the fallen
Leaves, crumpled in the grass,
Messy, strewn like prayers,
Always fading in the shadows,
Where joy once blessed,
Now, soundless memories, regrets,
Blowing on the winds, like those leaves,
Wrinkles...

A glimpse of hope shined down
From the stardust promises
Of a Savior and a best friend
One who gave me deliverance
From the despair that filled me
With fear, doubt and dread
Darkness that shadowed my joy
Silhouettes of trepidation
Tormenting hope’s...

THIRSTY GENTLE GIANTS

Animals dread a drought!
As do Elephants 
Who are heavier and more stout,
They need to find water fast,
Before poachers find them
And become History
Once lived, now past!
Elephants are patient with
Their young, they are slow
As their...

Poor choices ride piggy back on lies,
holding my trembling frame against shame flaming walls . . .

A million smiles may paint the day,
but deep canyon nights hold no disguise;
a yellow smiley face veneer defies
a taunting...

A child at his uncle's funeral.
A man once vibrant, now cold and still.
Fear and dread, a fate for all.
"Don't want to die!" The plaintive shout.  

A loving parent's reassurance,
"You're far too young to worry."...

Daybreak usually greets me when it ascends each day.
Yawning, I drowsily rise from the comfort of my bed
as the horizon glows with colors in resplendent array.

Dawn announces, "The warmth of Ra is on its way!"
Soon,...

Oh to the whoa, Honey, today I saw a trio of funny!
Mercy be, I saw three furry cats that all wore hats;
one was skinny and curvy, two chunky, but sturdy.
Curvy was all a-curtsy in a...

The green walls rise, a silent, leafy maze,
Where sunlight fails and shadows softly graze.
The path, once clear, now vanished from my sight,
Lost in the woods when day dissolves to night.

The trees stand tall like sentinels...

Lived a chimera in its lair
Feral cat with a dragon's flair
Spewing flames high into the air
I had to stare         I had to stare

The kind of creature born...

Corona Crisis 
viral virus 
no immunity no vaccine watch the community start collapsing 
people dying

Why has happinest abandoned me?
I know not how it feels to behold glee.
My soul yearns to be free,
Oh Lord take away this misery.

I dread a thing called tomorrow,
Because it brings much sorrow.
I want this pain...

The Future is Bright

“The future is unknown”, some cautiously say.
They therefore dread a distant day.
Instead of fearing what lies ahead
The might consider seeing that the past is dead.

A way was provided in the distant past
To...

In the perusing of the words to capture, 

the reverential ideas that lead to the Rapture, 

the satanic animal must be a snake, to non-believer,s, burn at the stake, 

suicide bombs take me to Heaven,...
