Smoking Cigarettes and Sipping Coffee
Many-colored and candle-lights; high beyond the soft trees a fresh country leans heavily toward the night, far beyond the sea’s shady shore.
Beams, o’er wide fields like a white star, \till from the earth’s crown drops...

Your Undying Legacy
My heart is so keen on you,
It leaves me cold, relentless, impossible
He fell into the love pools in my eyes,
The light you demand me to hide
He fell so lightly into my waters of secret
Only to...

Narrative
Why should we start to command our souls just as David once did

Left to their own devices they are double-minded and filled with doubt and dis-
couragement. Therefore, we need to follow David's excellent example, and...

The Wait
Each time has a special place
And every such place has its time.
When nature seethes with strangeness
Where the mind in exquisite isolation halts itself and listens
For the rumblings of a something large and not easily defined...

The Poor In Spirit
God sees the poor in spirit* groaning in pain
Languishing in fleshly miseries where they’re slain
Being ruled by discouragement that’s vain
While hoping for His miracle to gain.
God invites them to immerse himself in His loving domain!
God...

Thanksgiving Blessings
When I got my right hand fractured,
Owing to a fall, I never felt fear captured;
My left wrist is right, and I could do,
I thought, my duties, I will never woe;
Destiny, yet, has its unique...

Authenticity
In times of retrospection we discover
The miles our vagrant compass trekked
Silent horrors from which we recovered
What be righteous or unworthy we assess
For to all children life is not toys and hugs
Or enchanting dances on...

Come Closer
I tried to tell you once before
but there are never enough words
and so many ways to show you the cause
but you prefer to sleep with nightmares

through freezing corridors
your feelings lurking behind

Who Can Really Forgive Us?
Who can really forgive us...
if not God Himself whose love for us
is measured by endless kindness?
I tried to forgive others,
and although the grudge is forgotten,
the unpleasant images, the hurtful words and the evident pain...
are hardly...

Rapture and Riddle
A sleeping beast
Or winged messenger from God
Lays its quicksand of the truth
And I am spat like a petal from some nameless bloody heart
A constant question of the proof
I scratch in complacent deals

Promotion
I wanted to be a rich girl
In my posh executive suit
But then a little person
Made my life change route.
Posh make up replaced with eye bags
A bulge replacing my waist
The fear of getting through bed time

We Awoke To Five Machine Guns
we awoke to five machine guns
staring at us
all were American made
therein a comfort
another American in a foreign land
the caveat, Federales were holding them
we were naked
Sally from the Alley and i

Mr Green
He built a hut
In a tract of a wild country
Not too far from my neighborhood
I visited him pretty often
To gather crumbs of his wisdom
He was my big pal
His name was Mr Green
A wise sage of...

The Owl of Nottingshire Church
Beneath the singing glass is a brick tower
where the gargoyles spit raspberries and whistle at passerby
On top cracked stained glass and crumbling masonry
Pigeons roost in its eaves, their feathers snowing on the ground
The clouds pass...

God Is At Work In My Afflictions
God knows me needing for urgent care
Beseeching for His assured welfare
Ailing with discontentment’s scare
While longing for His promises I treat as rare.
God brings me to His throne where at His blessings I can stare! ...

radiating dark pain of disappointment,
on the face semi plastic caustic opaque
already smeared blood and venom.

like the gray word clothed with edges,
