The Crucifixion Of the Christ
Lo and behold, on this rood
On it once lay a great sacrifice
Of God’s only Beloved son
With his blood spilt on the wood
He washed away every vice
The cuffs of all our sins undone
A prince of peace rode on a borrowed colt to conquer sin's spikes of pain
A redeemer set aside his reverence and bled to erase the mark of Cain
A King ceded glory and a gold throne for mockery of a crown of thorns
In the moment of pain he saved a criminal and gifted a mother to John
The temple split like the red sea, swallowing wickedness into an abysm
God blinked, the sun dimmed, dark covered earth for the cross to beam
In the shade of a this rood-tree
We’re solaced and we’re free
Our eyes are wide open to see
The crucifix as a Mercy Seat
His anguish was fated by death
A death was fated by a rebirth
Reborn to harvest blessings
From the seed of his suffering
For one to deny thyself for us
Is a love no man can surpass
We’re unfit to lace his shoes
But he washes all of our feet
How much of us can we lose
If salvation has a face of defeat
What is worthy of this price?
One life or to be born twice?
Putting a lid on earthly vanities
Opens a door to godly verities
Death is a numb symbolization
Resurrection a vivid realisation
The only price lies in ourselves
A soul blossoms from sin’s shells
A revelation of an inner presence
An exhumation with aliveness
A demise overcome by our trust
To relive the passion of Christ
Come with me to the Nirvana Cafe!
Where you find lotus blossom tea and frangipani incense.
Divine, aromatic , sublime, ambiance.
Where soft music fills you soul with Enya or Yanni melodies.
You are in touch with your chakras and soul vibrations.
Chimes tinkle in tbe gentlest of winds, soft sensations.
No such thing as desire, or suffering here.
Just a place of perfect peace and happiness.
So, come with me now to the Nirvana Cafe.
Your presence and mindfulness, will softly glimmer.
Such total beauty, do not delay!
A gardenia touched, a star brushed night!

much more than this
might I speak
as your lover
lover to lover
in unix time
that great new beginning
we as one to unbrel neath the night
what a wonderful world
the almonds scented the night
would kisses
calm the raging shores
my selfishness
do speak to my need
I be alone no more
cause love to
make me quiver
to sing at a pitched voice
loving you is so easy
loving you
is my choice
oh sing my song
to seranate me
love me in heaps and mounds
love me on
the countrysides
love me in cities and towns
speak me as endearing as
a whisper
sing me bold and proud
I am yours we are
together
in your presence
and when your not around
each kiss a new
beginning
what wonders to
be found
love me
now that we are together
lift me high
beyond the clouds
I know you can read my thoughts
Before I even formulate them
You know what I’m going to say
But, I need to get this down on paper
To help ME fully comprehend
Just what it is that you mean to me
Others don’t understand
The bond that we share
They think I’m a little strange
To love someone so far away
They don’t see your beauty or comprehend
How your presence permeates
Absolutely everything in my life
They don’t know…
You are the ultimate Lover
You love till it hurt
And now, with no thought to what it cost
You make me feel precious and worthy of love
And though I’ve betrayed you
Time and again
Your arms of love await
To gather me in
I guess what I’m trying to say is…
I love you so much, Jesus. I really do.
Cause no one, NO ONE even compares to you.

My Mother
My Mother, maybe like the others
Is conscious in family matters
I know her rags-to-money story
And money-to-rags-tragedy
When I began to be world conscious
Her presence – I was sometimes anxious
For she used to be irritable
Making my simple flaws terrible
Occasionally, she shouts at me
Eventhough I am not far from thee
Yet, my mother's ever generous
She's the one who used to buy me toys
Like Tatay, she'll not make me hungry
That's my parents' greatest legacy
Besides that, to her I attribute
My college institute
She worked for almost twenty-four hours
Burned too much her delicate eyebrows
I regret I still can't compensate
Everything she had done for me great
If given chance to reincarnate
I want for myself to be a straight
So that I'll not be again her guilt!

*First Incubus Collection
Pugilist,
(Pick Your Arena Then Make Your Opponent Earn It)
Written: by Tom Wright
2/9/2018
At times in life I’ve exceeded my expectations,*
Often being driven by my earlier laid foundations;
Most competitions end only after one was bested,
I wouldn’t know my hearts contents- until tested.
It was never an edge my opponent might boast,
Or style points awarded for striking first or most.
The prime indication of how a contest would end,
Was the determined effort I was willing to expend.
It’s often been the presence of Jesus in my corner,
That has turned the tide against some evil scorner.
But to fully appreciate the taste of victory’s seat,
I first had to know the agony coming from defeat.
* New Years Day 2017
In any conflict (health or otherwise)
Unless you fight as if there’s no tomorrow,
There well may not be one.
Tom
Pale moonlight peeks gently for me right now,
yet it feels bright as day for me
as I think of you—
Cloudy velvety skies cover the glow of moon,
yet it’s still comforting like thick blankets on a cold eve
as I realize—
That is how warm your light is,
since you spread so much love
with your friendship, with your poetic gems
It is almost as if
you absorb Sol’s glow—
Your love for laying out in the sun paying off,
as you emanate that sunny energy
to people you come across with...
Your words have the strength of a warrior,
(A word warrior indeed!)
yet it also has the gentleness of a lady.
Your presence magnetic,
pulling heartstrings
like beams of sunshine
being brushed along a canvas
to paint a rainbow.
I think of you,
especially on this special day
as I celebrate a beautiful friend.
Yes, crickets are chirping
along with me right now...
Perhaps a song for you?
Darkness all around me,
with lights dim...
And yet
smiles twinkle in my eyes
I think of you,
...And raes of sunlight
will always, always
kiss my cheeks.
***Smiles, love and hugs to a beautiful and
wonderful friend.
Happy, happy birthday, Andrea sweetie!!!
^_^

Dancing young climber Mandevilla, wears neon green leaves,
adorning the terrace garden with its mounting thin sheaves.
Owner family water daily, the plant is healthy
when they cuddle the plant and trim old leaves, it feels happy
Whenever it perceives their presence, it does some signals
to gather their attention, if they respond, it giggles
It often hears their talking and prays for their gaieties
On a calm night, they vent about the plant and feel guilty
for not bracing flowers, thinking they didn't give right manure
Plant empathizes with their feelings, next day flower blooms
