An ordinary young man in his twenties
Working by day, alone by night
Routine lulls him to feel forever serene

Never a new dream or fantasy
Living an obligation
Making his parents proud yet nothing causes him to become too...

A dogged stance had made the beast retire
as disappointment filled the devil’s veins.
Though Brit resolve repulsed his hellish fire 
this demon’s air of pompousness remains.
His raging storm had faltered in the face 
of fierce resistance,...

I have walked in the valley of the shadow of death, and I have feared great ill
And stumbled over stony ground, where surer feet have fell.
I’ve known the loss of guiding hand and mourned its...

When in having or showing a seemingly moderate,
most humble estimate of one's great merits,
and importance, free from ones vanity,
egotism, boastfulness, or grateful pretensions.

When free from ostentation or any showy extravagance.
Can you a modest house,
white washed...

Paul, Peter and the Tweeter
Why not choose, 
a billionaire leader?
One who is not 
an eloquent speaker.
Trouble rises,
he robs Paul to pay Peter.
The bold rich need tax savings,
forget about the meeker.

From a distance,
we watch the kingdom...

The summer's thunderings gather in brooding, heavy clouds
Soundless masses with shuddering voices
Calling through the untamed sky
Shaking above the meeker Earth,
Pillars of rain, shot through with flashings in their depths,
Electric fires running through the close, wet...

Maelstrom, O thou devil 
Slither past last March then unto April
Into the eves and ides of May 

Thou cannot hide, but thou wilt try
To disguise thy age old blackness
Forsake what once were brighter skies
Stranglehold; sane...

I can’t complain I’m sheltered and fed
But this nagging ambition still builds in my head
Of what was written and what was said
Of a lonely road far from my bed

You don’t venture far tiny bird in...

My dear little parrot,Rosette is her name,
I cannot sweep her out of my memory,
Time heals wounds but not this one,
This one is too deep to be healed.
Huum!It`s painful,how do I write this?

Altarwise-Hum 
Nick Rush 

When it’s late enough to hear locusts love
East of altarwise, humming. 
You can see the somber moon fade away
Sunshines duty coming. 
The sun grows ever-meeker now
As night is blending dusk with day
The...

And so here I am....
I hope to touch your hearts it does'nt fail
and so here I am
Telling fairytales of she who wails

Those never-ending cries of pain
have gone now!
Those scars you drew through my heart
have faded...

What kind of car is that? I yell, looking out the window.
Just an ordinary car, my husband says.
With a star on it and a cherry on top?
A police car? He guesses.

What on earth has he...

He was a great man, a "prophet".
Known by his real name "Japhet".
Started his ministry whilst in the market
Full of anointing like water filled in a "bucket".
Many words do not fill a "basket".
Preaching the word of...

I guess I'm obsessed
With keeping my breath
I've small use for obtuse youth
And their smug, shrugging abuse
Blinding meeker minds
By the blither of twitter
Where shameless selfishness
Is seen as glitter
Where 'fake' news and 'reality' TV
Both struck by theft...

For longlonglonglong
and many days, turned to years,
minutes 'n moments
turned to tears;
I'd been a Seeker.

Now, though,
I'm Seekless
(Not meaning, simply that I
seek less.)
kindly meaning
that
I am Seekless.

I've been Seeker,
I've been Sought.
I've been strong and weaker.
I've been all thought,...

Common wisdom states no one must take
Or receive more than can carry
Without pause or delay, a sin to tarry
For under that stay, avarice can overtake
Yet, I have carried more than my weight
Even against advice, even...

Serpent! Those words were! 
On the way, is silence
Because words aren't meeker 
this time, to confront grievance

Epoch of reticence! 
On the way, is winter of despair
Because hope is true
this time, for thy worst nightmare

Prognostication won't...
