And after had passed the two enraged by
On which I had before pointed my sight,
I turned to others evil-born my eye.

I saw one, who the form of lute have might,
If he the groin in full...

Forget-Me-Nots

Across the field, I trampled a path,
When I held back and marvelled to see,
Near the babbling brook beneath the trees,
A sea of blue of scorpion grass:
Tiny blooms asway in waves of glee,
Of forget-me-nots, and thirsty...

“The Hand that Rocks the Cradle is the Hand That Rules the World” 
by William Ross Wallace

Oh! Woman

Aren’t you God’s supreme handiwork?
An animated form of chiseled art
A joy to behold
A figure of curvaceous ups and...

Fireflies beacons, nomad, I quest
Thrusting dagger deep into night
Afterglow, apparitions that fest
Dancing in the wake, and they fade away, when pulling out the knife

Forlorn my laden soul, it is a walking corpse
Stride I, battle broken...

Woe unto you, 
scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites!
Matt. 23:13


You tell men that God has changed,
that the Holy Ancient One today is not the same
Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Your written and spoken words are the forger of chains
With your...

Time is a betrayer
Sometimes, its a player
It would betray you
And you'd blame yourself
It can misrepresent you
So that you'd forger yourself
Time chases you everywhere
It comes on your heels
Just like an armed robber
So you better gotta to...

A red rose in a white rose’s tree,
How unique could this be,
For the first time I see,
A red rose in a white rose’s tree
 
For how long will the red rose last?
Did it blossom in...

Life is a droplet in the sea
After death will at least we be free
The nice thing about the sea
Is it has no memory

But that to
Is not exactly true
Life began in the sea
So it has long...

Where is the love that we once shared?
I thought our love was pure and you really cared.
We’ve been through hard time, thick and thin.
I thought I had a spot in your heart deep within.

You said...

Ran Into A Dolph

(Member of our church.)

Were in church when we ran into a Dolph;
What we did was start calling him Randolph, 
And great Scott, 
We got caught, 
Eating our meals out of Saint James...

Awkward silence seizes me 
Everytime I find you graze
Now that's it's all over
Still don't understand you forger
You are a puzzle 
That entangle
When I tried  solving it all the way
Realised you were away
Each time I...

Twas back in the eighteen sixties   
When Shaw began to fake   
And produce silver forgeries, 
A fortune so to make.

He set up making English coins
From cheap alloy of tin.  ...

The mind of God
populates a universe

there is no distance between
the maker and the made

the expression and the source – 

The Almighty speaks
and the sum of Him listens – 
responds with creative elegance

astronomers often describe
the path of their heavenly ride
far off in the distant night sky
defining what's higher than high
luminous wavelength emitters
heavenly hosts all aglitter
lost in gravitational trance
each dancing unique cosmic dance

charted starlight guiding the way
for ships...

Have you ever seen
The portrait of a dog
Painted on the road,
Not in the great tradition
Of living colours as you’d 
Expect, but in all the 
Terror and detail of
An untimely death?

Have you ever seen
The sketch of...

My father’s name was George; his “G”
Was not the cursive kind
And also, on his final “e,”
He cut the ties that bind.

That “e,” which was a backwards 3,
Stood separate from the rest.
A forger who attached it

Indestructible you

Endowed provocateur of origination

Forger of paths unknown

Awaken

 

Yesterday was an option

Today a decision

Tomorrow will come

Eventually

 

Head high

Shoulders up

Walk

Fear is perception

 

Defeat is an illusion

Perverse as it is

Fills a void

To incentivize the outcome of glory

how will it all happen and how will it end

of the consequence of the impact

tryin to win the race
