Empirical

Rare forms blare 
into the empirical hot sun.

Each traced in fire,
each outlined by the crystal 
shimmer of the son.

Haloed in glamour
A play of color.

Of One.

Layers of imagery in rare forms
Dare to stare, brilliant! 

Into the heliosphere 
crystalline forms 
of pure white energy, 
rare oblique symmetry. 
Flare! 

Infernal waves of Thermal…
Radiates, detonates, 
compress the empirical sum!

White light oppresses… 

The haloed sun stretches, its flares tracing 
a burning thermal holocaust!
 
…objects blaze here and there listening! 

To the aftermath, as the sun 
sets into nightmare…

Premium Member My God, Thank You For Your Compassion Toward Me

August 6 Scripture Meditations Based on Lamentations 1-5

Key Verse – Lamentations 3:22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMPASSION TOWARD ME

Thank You for Your compassion toward me midst my misery
When I’m lonely, being pitiful and solitary
Feeling sorry as if enclosed around unbelief-treachery---
Here am I, seeking for Your love, full of victory.

Thank You for Your compassion toward me midst my affliction
When I’m weak, murmuring over dissatisfaction
Feeling sick in battling against worldliness-temptation---
Here am I, begging for Your help and direction.

Thank You for Your compassion toward me midst my bitterness
When I’m envious, magnifying scarcity’s emptiness
Feeling jealous about others’ resources’ bountifulness---
Here am I, trusting Your provisions of ready supply-goodness.

Thank You for Your compassion toward me midst my discontentment
When I’m frustrated, losing heavenly excitement
Feeling worthless in wallowing into vanity-predicament---
Here am I, reaching out to Your kindness’ fulfillment.

Thank You for Your compassion toward me midst my insecurity
When I’m fearful, trembling at faith-advancement opportunity
Feeling unable in moving forward, upward beyond any adversity---
Here am I, depending on Your strength’s great stability.

Thank You for Your compassion toward me midst my arrogance
When I’m haughty, pursuing over earthly fame and abundance
Feeling self-sufficient in my accomplishment-driven endurance---
Here am I, surrendering to Your majesty of divine elegance and extravagance.

Thank You for Your compassion toward me midst my distresses
When I’m dismayed, sinking deep into lamentation that oppresses
Feeling depressed in succumbing to discouraging discourses---
Here am I, praising Your name for forgiving my offenses.

Poet Inside the Beast Part Two

And the Poets and musicians and creative types 
Of all description
Will throw off the yoke of the body snatchers
And bring on a thousand years
Of peace, love and creativity

But Satan (God’s Evil Twin) 
Can’t be defeated forever
He will lurk out there
Until the time is ripe

And mankind again falls under
The spell of the body snatcher
Bureaucrats and corporate clones
Govbots and faceless bureaucrats

And poetry and creativity
Again is banished to the dark corners of our souls

The poet within me
Smiles
Knowing that some day
He will defeat the bureaucrats
That so oppresses the world

Someday
They will be the ones
Hiding in the shadows
And the poet will have his revenge

Until that day
He bids his time

Occasionally coming out
Taking over my soul
And writing these stories
Before returning to his hiding space
Deep within my soul

Tomorrow I put on my suit
And return to battle
With all of the other clones
Automats govbots
And faceless bureaucrats 

And my poet
Smiles
Laughing while my soul
Slowly twists
Dying in the wind

And I begin another day
In the city of Washington
The center of the beast

Hell Central
The center of the cosmic conspiracy
That has lasted centuries

Man has lost
We are all slaves
To the machines

The poet screams
But is not heard
The machine can’t be bothered

The system does not compute
The anguish of crushed humanity

The system demands
More and more
Until the life within is crushed
And we embrace our enemies

And are absorbed
Resistance is indeed futile

Augustinian Chronicle

Feelings of despair dredged from the murky dephths of my past
Hoisted through my corroded conscience's porthole
Reconnoitering barge of restitution pushes despondent thoughts through my inner being
Then tows the shame and guilt of my depraved condition to mind's hatch 
The murky dross of yesterday's sins seeps deep into my addled psche
The residual guilt oppresses my soul
The brackish bilge of cankerous jealousies trolls through my grieving spirit
My trembling hands grasp the anchor of remorse but slip into the deeper moor of penance
Earlier missteps have my struggling feet sinking ever deeper in the quicksand of hopelessness
The smokestack spews nautious fumes from the froward deeds of my virile youth
My shaky rudder teeters as the raw sewage of past debauchery overwhelms my senses
Sailing my sinking yacht to the edge of sanity and rational existence
Carried along by the unsettling currents of inconstancy and vacillation
Docking in the harbor of reclamation and recompense

Premium Member Shadows of the Valley

There are times when I wander in the dark,
unsure why darkness seems to claim my soul.
I'm overcome with sorrow from the things I fear
and reminded of scripture about a valley of shadows.
Can I walk in such a place unafraid of death?
Is it the temptation of demons that I dread, 
and with the strength of a three-fold cord of hope 
can I turn them away? In battle can I be strong?

The world has become a sea of madness 
filled with moral conflicts and mental chaos.
I feel lost in the turmoil of my consciousness,
trying to drone out the crying of external sounds,
but I hear the incessant caw of ravens screeching,
and internally I struggle to make sense of it all.
Their foreboding cries foreshadow the end is near
and overwhelming angst is a burr in my soul.

I choose not to walk in a shadowed valley
for up from its depths, I may never return.
Desperately, I search for a way to climb the hills
and leave the prison of despair that oppresses me.
I want nothing more than to rid my life of shadows,
those that burden me with loathing and abhorrence.
Time to find the courage to face the soulless demons. 
No longer laying in fear as the dark raven crows
I'll look for guidance from the one who knows.

Premium Member Persecuted Petals


In a province exploited 
by prejudiced seasons,
a minority ebony rose 
is taunted by prominent 
i v o r y            l i l i e s.
Biased blossoms ridiculing 
tones of its charcoal petals,
yet blooming in the same 
quilt of soil as each other.

Soothing raindrops 
never discriminate though,
as scents of petrichor 
fuse with floret elegance,
nor does the sun only shine
for the privileged,
as all flora sunbathes in
the passions of its rays,
refreshed by the same 
migrating gentle breeze.

Scarlet beetles 
munch upon lily leaves,
whilst aphids suck 
upon rose sepals.
Creepy crawlies 
unconcerned with 
a p p e a r a n c e,
massacre and spread 
like an epidemic.
Until the arrival of 
feathered immigrants,
who feast upon an 
assortment of morsels.

In any garden, 
birds care not for 
whom they sing.
They defecate on all flowers, 
aware all will wilt eventually.
Winter frost oppresses 
regardless of culture, 
so birds flee.
But, when roses crumble, 
they re-emerge 
fresher and brighter,
as their red thorns remain 
protecting their right
to flourish freely under 
fresh blue skies..

Running From

Creep of extremism leaches in bloodstream, numbing
Route of innate thought unpenetrated, retains nothing
Sacred to the self, - stiff agendas pose as omniscient
Obscures own findings, carves our fragile opalescent 


Ignores the phosphor we all hold, outlooks pertinent 
Absorbs with proffer of doctrines contract penchant 
Squashed compulsion, thwarted inside tight quarter
Squeezes dry the yearn for a gyrated circuit's quaver


Penance is a method administered by axiom rations
Ranks routinely recant individual's intuition ravishing
Shrouded rigmarole causes comprehension to shrivel
Oppresses pirouette quick swing of our mind's swivel

The Slaughterer

The slaughterer came to the market

Dancing and wielding a matchet

He sang songs of sorrow;

And wrote rhymes for his victims of tomorrow.

                                                                                             

He grabs lands at his will

There is nothing he cannot steal.

He has stolen people’s identities

In his quest to commit atrocities.

 

The slaughterer’s threat is real

With the devil he had struck a deal

To kill those who opposes him

For in his face we are all Gohim.

 

The slaughterer detests peace

With him the world is no longer at ease.

He spares not innocent children

And he blackmails his brethren.

 

The slaughterer swims and drinks

From the gruesome river of blood

Of women and children he had killed

In the face of the world’s hypocrisy.

 

The slaughterer in Tel-Aviv has gone mad

From the boarders of Jordan, Lebanon and Islamabad,

He longs to destroy those he stole their lands.

And return homes back to dust and sands.

 

The slaughterer’s cowardice is imminent

When he meets his match on the battle-field

He runs to his accomplice in the devil’s own land

For money and the tools of his crimes

 

And now that we know the slaughterer

That maims children and women at will

He calls us all anti-Semites;

A name he stole from those whom he now oppresses.
