As believing Christians doubt
errantly forgetting God,
He intercedes judiciously,
kindling love mid narcissism.
Our Paraclete,
quenchable, resident Spirit,
teaches us vital wisdom
xenolith, yokefellow, zealot.

Lost in a sea of blue velvet
she dances, by the rhythm of aquamarine eyes
Beneath a parapet of stars where no one can foretell,
the sparkle of a smile is waving its goodbyes;
to loneliness
to sorrow
to solitude of morrow
Soft landings on the moon, they hold on to each other
as they twirl inside an ocean of cobalt blue;
Above, the heavens like birds of paradise soar
dipping their hearts inside each others gold
until they are no more.
The world falls away at their feet
as two star crossed lovers become love's paraclete
in a dreamers world
where fantasies curl
the azure blue hurl
of a boy and a girl.

I feel him there all day and night.
In my dreams, he speaks to me and makes my burden light.
His voice is like a soft and beautiful cymbal.
His turn of phrase makes my heart quick and my mind nimble.
His righteous utterance of confidence during the day,(sigh) shows me the way.
In retrospect, he was always there during my jejunity.
My father left me and my mother was not caring enough to love me.
He laid his finger on my heart and I felt his love.
His sweet and indomitable breath guided me to rise above.
I was abused by many antagonists and callous people over the years.
He fed me the fruit of his righteousness and chased away my fears.
He has made my life bountiful.
He has rectified my inefficient life so that I can become skillful.
In my winter solstice, I feel that time is nearing the fall of my withering and fermenting flesh to the earth.
My prayer is that my soul will bloom into immortal mirth.

My thoughts arrive in short, staccato bursts;
the long lines never seem to want to flow.
Macabre at best, generally, worse;
uncertain, the direction they will go.
Romantic phrasing seems a foreign tongue;
a lilting verse on love just comes out forced.
Yet beetles drawn to steaming piles of dung,
as love language, are largely not endorsed.
On this, Hallmark’s most halcyon of days,
pray do not be incensed, thy count’nance marred,
if, in attempts to woo with lofty praise,
I do compare thy scent to fragrant nard.
Penned valentines, a Sisyphean feat,
but you’re my rock, and I, your paraclete.

zealous yokefellow
xenolith with vitality
Unseen the Spirit resides quietly
perfecting obedient natures,
ministering love, kindness, joy, insight,
honing gentleness,
faithfully encouraging disciples,
convicting breath abides.

What kind of love is this that sets my mind aglow
what kind of heart can be so full of light so free
what is the name of He, who has just given me
the freedom to love, the freedom to love...ref
Who is this paraclete who heals the wounded souls
whos rays are brighter then the morning sun
who is this man I see, who sets my spirit free
with freedom to love, with freedom to love... ref
What kind of man is this who knows that I exist
what can I offer him in sweet return.....
what is the name of He, who has just given me
the freedom to love, the freedom to love... ref

Come! Dwell! God's Paraclete Spirit, divine!
Release tensions and turmoil that entwine!
Cleanse each black cloud of gloom! Make the light shine!
Come! Dwell! God's Paraclete Spirit, divine!
Thoughts of ego that says 'me' and 'mine',
Give way to love, the universal sign,
Come! Dwell! God's Paraclete Spirit, divine!
Release tensions and turmoil that entwine!

an invite from the systems alert and ready to repeat
what nuance can a human share without its paraclete
authorship servitude aligned to process thought
every word and sentence typed, ready to be caught
with enumerate assistance it registers the plot

Three blocks away a church bell from my parish always calls
Pleading for my soul as the statues of Mary hang within the church's walls
I visualize the sculptured faces and count the clapper’s swings
I almost hear my name in the rhythm as the bell rings
Lying in my bed the guilt tries to pull down the sheet
My body is warm but my spirit is scorched in the heat
I could literary walk in my sleep to a pew in my church
I can count the footsteps to where my soul wants to perch
I envision the crucifix with the same expression as before
Yet that still gracious face is saying something new to my soul
Through the church bell I sense my hearts palpitations
This mismatch of my mind and soul need salvation
The call of the church bell is getting louder and louder
I am cocooned between these sheets but my soul is outside
Walking to a place around the altar and taking a seat
To a place it can converse with the Paraclete

Oh, Holy Spirit such joy in thy numen name,
Amidst a plentiful paraclete of a burning flame…
Stormy skies subdue as you enter with a tame,
Dropping pearls from heaven an almighty acclaim.
White Doves follow your peaceful playful presence,
Cozy comfort in your propelling passionate presents…
Within eyes captivated by your lasting luminescence,
Light of love emanating from a floral fluorescence.
Omnipotent orchestral vibes of the supreme symphony,
Thus the universe prepares for your majestic majesty…
Illuminating portals of faith upon a bewildering brilliancy,
Providing providence throughout our everlasting infinity.

A perfect bird takes flight on yellow wings
Dipped in golden sunbeams from pure light
Crimson days are etched with feathers pointed
Darting in and out of dangling limbs of trees
Made possible only by a gust of steady wind
On borrowed time through opened arms of love
Stretching out for miles on tomorrows time
Songs echo in the forest on the softer side
Birds sing there is no sorrow without sin
The Paraclete is no ordinary creature
It figures to be settled in by Christmas
Into a Trinity with all the trimmings living
When Christmas comes there is a pretty box
Nestled under the tree with lights and ornaments
Colorful wrapping with movement coming from inside
Outside is snow, below the bow is action
We pray that someone made some holes
For breathing is important for living things with souls
Bring plenty of towels and water in case of birth
Is that a chirp or something with a song of hope
If it is perfect can we keep it
If it has feathers should we let it go

My Love is like the Sky, a wind of dreams,
Like trailing Heav’n her garment covers me,
Stars line her cloak, her sword’s not what it seems,
It’s limned with lightning, she pulls it from a tree!
Her glowing hands and face show golden moons
Penumbra them about in pregnant mist,
They streak across the Night, bestowing boons,
Her lips, always, and never, to be kissed.
Beneath her softshod feet, angels press up,
And keep her from the burden of the earth,
From Paraclete Dove, comes the proffered cup,
Engilded, and enjeweled with gems of mirth
As bright as sun that shines on fields of snow,
From thence, drinks, smiles, and makes the darkness go.

Prayer To The Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, giver of life, enlighten our dark minds
Breathe clarity of thinking on our souls
Bring us to your lasting peace
Oh Paraclete of heaven, in your divinity, set us free
Give us the vision to see eternity with The Holy Trinity
Keep anxiety and demons from our lives
Help us to rise to the occasion of the day
To reach for heaven
And this we pray
Amen
