HOLY WEEK

Palm Sunday, the day Jesus entered the city and was Praised by the people for his love of God, and his willingness to God. 
Holy Monday, is the day Jesus enters the church and is unhappy that it is a market place not a place of worship, he gets mad, and overturns the selling tables, upon leaving the church, he curses the fig tree for not bearing good fruit, making the fig tree die instantly, this shows us that if we do not produce good people we may also die instantly, that what we do matters.
Holy Tuesday, is a day for us to reflect on the ways we are willing to serve God, how we take action to spread the word and actions needed for God, we pray, we prepare.
Holy (or Spy) Wednesday, this was the day Jesus was betrayed, by one of his disciples, he was sold out for money, this led to his capture and later death, we are reminded that all we do has consequences, that the true actions of good are the ones we need to take, and to avoid all negatives that will lead us to death of our soul. 
Maundy Thursday, the last supper, the washing of feet, the service of Jesus to others, followers to serve one another in the family of God.
Good Friday, the day Jesus was killed, he walked with his cross, he gave his life for us, he was a sinless man that only wanted to spread God’s word and teach us love and service and a path home to God.
Holy Saturday, the day that Jesus lay in tomb, he was preparing to return to life, to walk alive, day of silence of reflection of Jesus life.
Resurrection Sunday—Easter! Jesus awoke from death, he walked among us, he showed himself, he told his people to spread the teachings of God and love of God, that we too will be saved if we follow him, and should follow his life’s path home to God, we do this through many ways, love, forgiveness, teaching others, patience, and choosing God.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.

Premium Member Enigma in Flesh and Longing

Enigma in Flesh and Longing

I am sweet and bitter in the same body, like honey scorched in summer's ember,
A rare blend of warm madness, of molten steel and light too bright to remember,
I am cold as the blade that splits a dream and warm as an April ray of sun,
The eternal feminine that weeps and dreams... beautiful... and fragile... and subtly spun.

I am silent as the ocean's depth when the storm sleeps beneath its face,
And I burst through the world like water between stones... with will... through noise and chase,
I have the eyes of a beast when pain reaches me and the eyes of a fairy when I love with fire,
One man thinks me wicked, another good... and both are wrong... caught in the same desire.

I am a hurricane that overturns the skies and a calm sea on the very same day,
A frightened little child hiding behind a queen with eyes of a dreamer's way,
I am sad as the violin that sighs through deep and answerless nights,
And joyful as the lark across the fields... when my longing hasn't reached its heights.

I am a beggar and a queen on the same throne of clay and living light,
A blade of grass forgotten on the road and a rare flower grown just right,
I change with every season the way the moon waxes white and wanes away,
And no one reads me to the end... no one knows what I have to say.

I am an enigma written in invisible ink on a page of silk so fine,
A book with heavy covers that few dare to open and call mine,
I hide beneath each mask the way water hides beneath a cold and narrow stone,
The woman who conceals herself from being hurt... inside her own feeling... alone.

But somewhere deep inside me burns the very first fire and it never dies,
My contradictions don't break me... they hold me whole... they weave me... they're my ties,
I am complete precisely because I am everything and nothing all at once,
The living enigma... the woman... forever hidden... forever found... and never fully done.

Premium Member The night closes the windows

The night closes the windows, and
The sky has become a crystal house,
Shining crystal windows,
The Moon
Has sketched through them -
Through the entire alabaster sanctuary.
A single star was sending down
A crystal cable,
And passed its plough across the earth,
Unearthing embraced bodies,
Couples chained
Around the round earth.
Their speech clung everywhere,
Through droplets of words, lost upon the earth -
The same language that stars do not touch.
And the crystal globe spun -
And the coiled bodies with it.
But the sky did not spin,
Nor the majestic stars with it –
They remain anchored,
Each with its sword of light
Plunged into the earth,
Each bound to the immense plough
That furrows our lives.
So stands time, the eternal farmer,
Stretching his seed of crystal through the darkness,
Halving our dreams and years,
With a hand that seems never to rest.
We spectate, spectral, in this dust of life,
Where love and fate share an embrace,
Crying silently while the unyielding cosmos
Continues to sing its cosmic ballad, moist with unseen tears.
Oh, divine plough that overturns kingdoms and hearts alike,
That breaks the midnight soil, turning love into a relic,
Unleashing silent groans beneath the starry canvass -
You build us and unravel us in the rhythm of a spinning sphere.
Our pairings, our bondings, walk upon the giant orbit,
Generating echoes that beat in the crystal silence of space,
And slicing the infinite shadows with every furrow.
Will the star continue to watch us,
When we, at last, dissolve into the earthly evening's darkness?

Premium Member Autumn's Afterglow

Nature’s palette of golden paints overturns,
autumn's spectrum spills on color-burst landscape.


As the heat of the summer air dissipates away
The sapphire shine suffuses the crystalline sky
Crisp breeze ripples on the gilded thicket canopy
The rustling leaves perform the last fiery dance
As the summer birds leave the nests and fly away
Pearls of dew on the meadow craft silver crown
At crimson dawn it sparkles in ethereal splendor
Wait to freeze when the northern winds will blow.

Sitting alone by the window open on sprawling lawn, 
departing music of the wilted leaves I hear as they fall,
the glare of the scorching summer sun has melted, 
the sign of autumn’s chromatic footfall I see beguiled.

The smoky dust screen has blown away to far horizon,
the flotilla of cotton cloud sails in the depth of azure.
Bowed down slender blades of cinnamon grass sway
in crisp air on the lap of the meadow turning fawn. 

Lining the sun-burnt cinnabar garden path paved anew,  
the dry trunks of the sepia trees stand on fallow ground. 
The setting sun ignites inferno in the seamless satin sky, 
makes surreal collage of vermillion ember blazing bright.

In lilac sunset my heart is drenched by the twilight drizzle,
soaking its glow I’ll greet the stars in pellucid autumn night.
For my freezing times in the gloom of the winter I’ll hold
the warmth of the touch of autumn’s remnant afterglow.

Premium Member Emotions To Dismiss

Though endings soon arrest litigious wrongs,
Injustice stains without impunity,
When who I’d rather share romantic songs,
Declares to God abhorrent thoughts on me;
In days from now when Marci testifies,
That evil lurks in me, a violent man,
She’ll have to look directly in my eyes,
Where she’ll see tears that still don’t understand.
My case is strong and lacks no confidence,
For truth determines judgment’s final rule,
But justice overturns by consequence,
That comes when soulmates end their vicious duel.
  I know my only choice was one to fight,
  But how can love on trial make matters right?

The State

Corruption in the rumours and on the scenes
High profile slaps and cattle vaccines 
Taxes, levies and airport leases
Pleasure decreases and pressure increases 
Critics disappear in a bid to peddle fear
Rage and despair always lingers in the air
In the web of science and in the display of art
But it all meets a deaf ear and a hardened heart

Cry much tears and make much noise
But nothing under the sun presents choice
We are in the middle of a humbling occasion 
Where we turn to God in desperation 
We have tried change in its ranges
And for ages in sin and its wages
And the overturns have brought us to this 
Where justifiers of war are men of peace

We now recall unheeded warnings 
Now that we suffer squeezed earnings 
But that is water under the bridge 
We scale in huff the steepness to the ridge
Armed with no trust in fellow man
Neither buying his promise nor plan 
And this I will teach my children 
To cast faith only to God in Heaven.

Appetizers

appetizers are not uncomplimentary
they are food for gods and primitive man.
The ape is the apex as
Blood and Oranges are exceptionally 
eulogistic pleasing to the soul 
Down, down, down into the darkness of memory,
Gently they go - the panegyrical, the praiseful, boastful mammal…

Pay attention to the me, in I, not the We in thy?
the human soul is the most warm thought of all.
HOW near god is such a thing,
To get me wondering if death is lukewarm, or a mutual reality.

How happy is the ape a prime mate of man!
Down, down, down into the darkness of the soul,
Gently it goes - the littler, the diminutive, nothing at all.
Nothing escapes this divinity 
Or overturns this reality…

Embrace of Monsoon

Winds howling off trees overhead 
in the grim grey sky, blackened stars.
leaves whisper in their rustling tread
excited in an air of summer showers.

embrace of monsoon, clouds rip apart
overturns a bucket of torrential rain
erasing footprints, sun makes a dart
drizzle heals ache, it's beauty again.

lonely lampposts weep in puddles
angry sky roars in thunderstorms. 
verdant vales hydrate in cuddles
muddy soil clad in wet uniforms.

an arc of flash welding in distant  
electric sparks emaneting a prison. 
vision unveiled in lightning instant
poets hypnotized by rainy season.
