Premium Member The Bomb III
For life and death were caught within a race
to destiny – and all the world awaits.
His despot realm would falter from the pace
and thus, awaited fire from Heaven’s gates.
As mighty legions faded on the fields
of...

The Chilean Episode
Two thousand feet in the belly of the earth
So near the opulence of golden ore
And so far the poor man's dream of worth
From the falling sweat of toil
Around the Chilean house
The wringing hands toll in...

The Cry of the Cross

The land was cloaked in a black dress,
The crowd was watching my Christ die,
When the blinding darkness, the deafening stillness 
Was shattered by an overwhelming cry;

Resonating, reaching up to heaven across-
A cry in anguishful agony,
My...

A Message To Deliver
I kept looking at the full moon as it burst through the deep blue clouds
searching under big trees dark bushes rubble and stores
uncovering antiquated act who's sin has painted the house top in black
The moon...

Wartime
Walking this path.
Once populous,
Now desolate
Ambushed!
An unspeakable ambush
Now you're travailing
Just inhaling and exhaling
Breathing!
The precious breath of life
Spiritual bombs are colluded 
Progression and motion momentarily occluded
Building a fortress amid blasts
Days and nights of praying and long fasts...

When I step into your presence, I only come for one thing and that is to offer you my

The Lost Love
Can you remember the moments we shared?

I was travailing in the dark,
I had no  money in my pocket.

Never sure of what to do,
I met you and
Found myself in you.
You burning deep in my heart,
It...

Why Be a Poet
I’m asked if my literary work is fiction or reality
Do I compose to inspire those to read with affection
Expressing my thoughts and feelings through poetry
Weaving my spiritual, cultural, or historical reflections

Applying humor and sadness or...

Birth of Thy Morning Fair
Beholdest thou thy visage upon the looking glass 
and art plagued by gloom most ravenous?
Dost thou bemoan the man of rags thou art
unworthy to wallow in stardust?

Sufferest thou the curse of inferiority
with a lowered head...

Men of Freedom
(Patterned off the famous folk song 'Men of Harlech,' which is in the public domain.)

Men of freedom hear them wailing,
from the truth they’re always quailing,
scared of work or real travailing,
not like free-born men.
Men of freedom...

To my complacent Ms. Crane

In Search of Me
On a cold, summer day
in a desolate, dry land
deserted by a forest who thought too highly of itself
to be associated with such a place
Travailing on a journey
what I'd like to call 'My Wilderness Experience'
without knowing...

The Preacher
He walks through the deserts of time,
Raising his voice for life's prime,
Sharing and converting,his words do rhyme,
As he selflessly serves without seeking a dime,
He hopes to help pay sin's fine,
Leaving our heart's bell to chime,

He...

Fire travailing and traveling
Lies basking behind
Sorrows burrowing my bones
Empitiness dueling sleeplessness
Vain expectations looming
Kith and kins nagging
Heaven's gate silence
Prayers turn thorns
Tide and time tumbling
Girls gnashing
Money mocking
A wise man of Gotham 
Lost in the bin
Looking and...

Out of My Soul (Shandorma)
Oh my God
Can you hear your child.
down below
in the pit
I’m crying out of my soul
I’m repenting now

Forgive me
for all of my sins
cleanse me now
wash me clean
From the inside out Oh God
Transform me this day

Lord Oh...

A World of Flux and Spam
People sinning, bad men grinning
A world of flux and spam

To fight the horrid, slow the torrid
The smart ones have a plan.

By election, or selection
You’ll be part of this fight

Poked and prodded, shame allotted
They’ll force you...
