Long Rottenness Poems

It was unseasonably
warm for Winter
sun shone bright
cool breeze blowing
but not even cold
and I was
just walking
along, not knowing
the world, as we knew it
was about to come apart
Then that piercing scream
ripped through my heart
heart pounding and
pumping, feet
pounding,...

that craving very agile...

the voyage of a derelict dream in place of a lie,
the lure of April, the deceit of May concertized in December, 
in wintry snow, mocked, 
miscarriages of a well worn...

From water to soil, we continued. 
All that I've at any spot known has been rottenness.

I’ll sing you dream songs
that last as long as the hills
but know this my love
it’s fullness IS
the striving of our wills

Against the darkness
that has crept stealthily
into the hearts of man
I cannot describe
this latent longing

Your viewpoint can be comforting,
Or your viewpoint can be troubling:
Either comforting as a safeguard,
Or as troubling as a canard.

A safeguard tunnels Saints through sin.
A canard tunnels sinners through spin.
Though God created man upright,
He schemes to...

In this remarkable world without reasons
Every word and every thought seem so priceless
Something that can bring belief into you
On the other hand, it can also rip you heart apart

She was the best we had
the best of us.
The best of the clan,
and she was rotten.

We were all rotten
learned rottenness
learned from the best
from our mama

She could out-cuss us,
out run us and outwit us.
We were her...

Maybe birthday or dedication
You'll be to me like a red rag to a bull
Asking for rice knowing the price of a bagful

    For present circumstances.

The earth wept for no reason 
under a soft articulate noise 
of auctioned lives, 
a beautiful dream, slowly dying.

Rottenness seeks in the soul
righteous prey,
grown from pure moments
in which the whiteness of thought
nurtures the hope of...

God be praised for our Pastor’s wife
Virtuous woman* exuded by her countenance
Paragon of spiritual lady’s blest fullness indeed
Fulfilling roles with feminine elegance
Graciously living according to Bible creed
Meeting her family's maternal need.

Woe, unto them that call evil good, and good evil

That melts the soul and fills the urns

God wants you and me 
To finally be a family
He wants us to see

To finally show
That He is the reason 
For our being...
