Long Uriel Poems

An old man long in years, in threadbare coat, with grizzled hair, and eyes aged and heavy.
Stood with withered hands once strong and true, which clung to an old cap.

For years he had tilled the...

O ' Satan, father of all that is sinister and evil,
Of all that is foul, putrid, and base.
Ruler of the underworld
I've have had a vision!
You led the legions of the damned
In a cataclysmic war,
To regain...

AS I LIE HERE LOOKING OUT OF MY WINDOW, WHICH FACES TO THE EAST
RISING EACH MORINING AT THE CRACK OF DAWN,I CAN WATCH THE HEAVENS COME TO LIFE.

 I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I...

I'm falling like a star
Every time I touch your lips with mine
When you shine your radiant light
 
There once was a time, 
When I used to dream for someone
Like you 
Lifting all the Shame just...

DESERTED

Be brave, young child, say to that hungry lioness:
“You have chased me out of form into the wastelands”.

Although aware of dependant-rising, the rose 
Is too proud to beg the lowly wine-seller for water.

And what of...

It was cool and damp on the ground in the garden
My beard was unkempt and covered with the salt of my tears
My hair was wet from perspiration
And my clothes damp with the stench of anguish
Who...

just like they said 
walked around heaven all day
but the greatest part about heaven
i keep thinking all the time
is that in heaven there is no illness
not even in the mind

Three Popes died within six years
I wonder if what killed them 
were the sum of their fears
Could the cause be what they

(for Charles)

The son also rises
He must needs greet the day
He reaffirms the challenge 
That will not go away 

People gettin’ ready to curse about what’s been ailin’ ‘em

As the essenes of 
Eden play lovely
quartets, a brief
interlude o' mine.

Oh. . . boisterous meadows
of entrancing enthralls
so fine.

As angels hearken
the harmonies of
our precious St. Uriel,
defiant.

The whimsy's of 
bitter attempts 
for lovely laughing 
girls, made bitter
pantomime.

Oh,...

Harpies shrieked and lost souls wailed
The cold wind stung as embers sailed
A fetid stench, eyes red with dust
When I looked through to Tartarus.

Black column’s rose in demon form
terror enthralling those forlorn
Compelled I shuddered as I...

Svetlana more, divine a sight 
Than the angel Uriel, 
Of Leonardo’s delight!
Angel of presence,
Angel of face,
Angel of glory,
Svetlana, you hold 
My heart in this place!

Angel of Earth, 
Angel of verse,
Angel of wind,
Angel across, 
The world...
