Long Foresaw Poems

“Son”...”say goodnight to grandpa”

tumbled off fingers of prodigal son
tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.

Back in the day

With power in God's WORD the world was formed
and from His mouth...

Isis stole my son.
My hand was clasped, tight, I swear
Our fingers entwined, as he tugged me, eagerly, around the fair

From the ducks, to the teacups, his smile was mine alone
We were two, hand in hand,...

Mama you never told me,
Neither dad nor you aunt,
I was shocked mama,
How was I to know?
You never told me.

 I never knew that love can be fake,
I know the pain, so I can tell,
Just imagine,...

...Emmet would converse with Sophie,
pretend he was a normal man,
while April and Abner slipped away…
young infatuation was grand.

And after their third time out there
April and Abner were engaged,
not coincidently there
was a new baby on the...

Death by gypsy violin
Will push you out then pull you in
Requiem for a burning pyre
Raising twilight ashen choir

Up beyond all time and space
No hungry knife shall clip thy wing
No wild wasp...

In old Jerusalem near cross and sepulcher
Transgressors and confessors searching for a cure
Weary Pilgrims assembled in this place ornate
Guilty, broken, sad, sickened, from life’s heavy weight

Here we remember how our sin once did molest
How selfish...

Been told I wrote an eloquent gem,
So here we go again, in this game that's needs to be renamed,

The disappearance of all the seers,
and as they went,
the people looked up with fear;

Finally the last one had gone,
along with the illumination of...

Breaking the chains-
Required lots of pain, 
Starting from young age.

Mom died when I was 16
Dad passed when I was 23.
Their demons danced together,
over 25 years ago.

Demons that neither could drown.
And those are what made them
Prematurely...

Seven times by walls encircled very tall,
Defended by a river hard to leap.

We overpassed it as hard ground at all;
Through seven doors I entered with...

The drought had swept throughout the land
But under Pharoah’s dream-led reign
Joseph foresaw, provisions planned

So Jacob sent his sons for grain
And down to Egypt, down they went

Then Joseph, hearing they’d been sent
Then called...

They wanted his head for claiming he is divine.
Blasphemy! They demanded a sign.
Unlike all the war kings on a beast they arrived.

and he is Gods flaming Lamp

Three times the Master spoke
and three times the capstan broke.
Decks awash with briny spume,
the storm raged in the gathering gloom.
'Pull in that spar or else we're doomed!'
Above the roar the Master boomed.
The crew strained on...

And on a blind date, too!
