Premium Member Worship's Bliss

Blissful worship* to the Creator subdues arrogance
Vanquishing worldliness-vanity
Humbling me from self-esteem’s dominance
To praise Him midst His holiness-beauty.

Joyous worship toward the Lord grants spiritual might 
Cheering me from discouragements’ infirmities
Brightening my commitment to shine in His light
Succoring me against human frailties.

Glad worship for the Saviour upholds blessed stewardship
Enabling my sincere obedient willingness
Offering to me His divine friendship and warm fellowship
For servant-heart’s fruitful faithfulness.

*Psalm 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Premium Member My Ears are Like Nests

My ears are like nests,
the thrill of sound,
surround sound of
so many worlds

the dove and the jay
the phoebe, the robin
…so many flocks

I don’t need to unlock
the meaning, it stirs
my soul, sends me

My ears are like nests,
beaks opening, my chest
heaving, relieving
the images of night
the -mares reprieving

the warbler, the wren
the skylarks, the sparrows
…so many flocks

In the Spring, to walk
upon the buoyant breath
of endless pines and oaks
to soak in the red breast
its soulful chest
rising and falling

My ears are like nests
the trill of sounds
awakening, stirring
the crown, rejoicing
in hope, succoring

Paternalistic Bond: From Childhood To Adulthood

In silted apron blossoms baby
Incubating heat fondles canopy
From leafy trellis sprouts progeny
With briny tears, warmth grows quickly

Acorn melded to fertile tree
Succoring streams flow freely
Ballasted perch shared dutifully
Fragile shell tendered stem's realty

Paternal arms clasp twig-end tightly
Structural beams foster stability
Nutrients funnel expanding the cavity
Well-rounded hull with shared identity

Truant winds the bond doth atrophy
Shaking strands that clutch lovingly
Ripening acorn longs new vistas to see
With heavy heart falls from caring tree

Dry, barren ground leaches each gratuity
Rotting leaves fondle exterior incessantly
Surface ambitions soiled by limited mobility
Predatory marauders pilfer each, bright opportunity

Acorn will not stray far from security
Paternal shadow hovers patiently
With overarching wings shield calamity
During trials, trickle down tears of empathy

Shipwreck

Life breaks on a tenuous shoal
Heartaches vex shipwrecked 
soul
Rocky outcrop slashing at 
each, bleached sole
In choppy waters, teetering 
mast o'er limp body doth troll
Peering into foggy abyss, 
undulating currents of angst so 
droll  
Hope wanes as tearful waves 
from calcified funnels roll
Briny mist over resonant 
dreams doth scroll
Tides dredge seaweed earlier 
missteps did dole
On the horizon, clouded visions 
turning black as coal



From a distant, but reachable, 
harbor a fog light doth patrol
But encroaching shadows 
eclipse as endearing fate doth 
cerebrally cajole
Faint sound from a beckoning 
barge doth wandering ears 
enroll
But the boisterous waves of
doubt resound a dreary toll
Cresting above life's 
sorrows, in the distant ocean 
a succoring atoll
But shackling cares girdle my 
feet pulling me into the 
undertow
A dry, temporal sanctuary in 
my corroded senses to stroll
Morphing into insane mirage 
as the angry torrents 
remaining wits poll

Spring's Anthem: Regeneration and Reformation

The spring anthem doth now sound
Helpless eggs lie all around
Encased larva still tightly bound
Brooding mothers redound
Ingenious caretakers cover nest and mound
Ravenous predators scour tree and ground
Doting Queens have nests tightly wound
Succoring honey begins to compound
Aging pupa entombed all around
Nubile creatures more nutrition impound
Docile minions escape their waxy mound
Tracking nectar wherever flowers abound
Hovering matrons incubate above ground
Enervating heat the eggs must surround
Brimming yoke with new features expound
Emerging embryo can now be found
Emboldened chick with beak doth pound
Suddenly from cracked shell does new life resound.

Summer Sun

Hoary sun now trolls the availing sky
Radiant lamp gilding all who under its shade lie
Golden streams of light kindle hearth on high
Burning parasol fans its flames warming all that draw nigh 
A fiery portent to all who under its horizon fly 
Spreading thermal blanket its spawning heat to re-apply   
Through porous seams sultry beams ply
Silty founts it doth bleach then dry
Scorching leafy tents that on its succoring warmth doth rely 
Streaming with misty vapors, earth's boiling caldron doth gurgle and sigh
Sending convecting currents across earth's table, its residual steam to pry 
Jealously blanching the darker hues that with its mercurial splendor doth vie

Incomplete Metamorphosis To Manhood Phase 2

Matthew Scott Harris deprived himself
relishing, savoring, and tasting
chromosomal biologic metamorphosis
including wreaking havoc, nixing, and
foregoing heterosexual interpersonal experiences,
thus sparking woeful regret

disallowing, disenabling, and not providing
natural encoded healthy growth
of body, mind, and spirit triage
regarding fluke of universe i.e. me
(since origin of aforementioned species)
took center stage tentatively 
bivouacking upon globe.

Much ado about nothing
can be done measure for measure
missing out out love's labour's lost
nevertheless, all's well
doth (did) not end well
concerning (by dickens)
my life and hard times,
which cannot square miserable
with great expectations never attained

courtesy wretched soul,
scratching our feeble existence,
who gives the antagonist and/or protagonist
constituting Les Misérables,
a run (for his) la monnaie,
eeking out hand to mouth subsistence
never livingsocial, nor buzzfeeding
avast set of basic hormonal needs and wants

and/ or acquiring, succoring,
and treasuring pittance
akin to dime a dozen
day late and dollar short paupers,
(whose mere pennies on the dollar earnings,
albeit insufficiently funded legal tender)
while accruing mere stale crumbs
comprising daily bread -

our humble father
who art thou in heaven...
bejesus crust...damn near
impossible mission to guarantee
adequate sense and sensibility
pertaining to mine remaining
complete or partial celestial orbitz
without pride nor prejudice
upending, jeopardizing, or compromising
my fragile ego contemplating Cogito, ergo sum.

Let It Rain

Our farms are sick and starved and outgrown barns,
The earth is witted, breaking our spades
Tomorrow is stranded because today is wicked
Barking on our tears

These brothers of mine are strangers
They rage the sun in this part of the divide
And walk in canopies we cannot provide

Come to the streets oh comrades
Your stomachs may be asking and your legs jittering
Still come
Come to the entering of the city
Cry to the heavens carrying fronds
Fan the firmaments and beg the clouds to let it rain

Let it rain, let it rain in the heat of the day till
Darkness is stopped from coming, taking terror unaware
And then the wolves slip and fall on their daggers
Let greedy mansion leak, and seek shelter in the hut of the pauper
Let it rain, so hardened hearts get soaked and thieves shiver
Till they are caught red-handed
Let it rain, let its coldness prevail and cool the boiling land,
Let’s its wind sweep through exposing the anus of the fowl kind,
Quenching greedy thirsts and succoring innocent dreams
Let it rain on the x and y
If they look back and see where the knot is tied, so not for
Crescent moon another man’s star die
let it rain and beat hard, and crash the shell of dubious tortoise
let it beat conflicts into comfort, till greed dies of loneliness
let it beat tomorrow into today, and led into leaders.

Dormant Seed

A solitary kernel for lack of succoring nurture aggrieved
From sun's warm caresses seasonally bereaved
With wind's chilling strides constantly plucked, heaved
Lying on fallowed ground whose cloak now desleaved
With frigid mantle over frostbitten spine weaved
Nutrient-rich pores of their cultivating provender relieved
As brittle husk to its fibrous moorings tightly cleaved
So coarse grains to earthen crevices, pockets sheathed
Dormant, but from bludgeoned shell will not secede
Nor Summer's bountiful harvest deed
A sparse, unfurnished bed temporarily bequeathed
Until providentially-rendered elements have new life breathed
Still yet, creator hath numbered all and due rations perceived
Until Spring's availing tides have Winter's corroded channels reprieved
And life's, generating tenants from their frozen prisons freed
