Pillar Poems

Pillar of Salt

The fire descends, a whispered dread,
Above the city of the dead.
And from the gate, a frantic flight,
Toward the mountains, toward the light.

The angel's law, a word of steel:
"Run, and let no backward feel.
No glance of sorrow, no fond gaze,
Lest ye be caught in judgment's maze."

A Draconian State, of salt and flame,
Where mercy holds a different name.
For to a glance, a heart's small ache,
A life is forfeit, for its sake.

So turns the head, against the will,
To see the city standing still.
One tear, one memory, one breath,
And then the cold, consuming death.

A pillar stands, of white and fine,
A woman's form, a grave divine.
A silent tomb, to mark the cost,
Of all that one brief look has lost.

Harlots

Lights now off,
Yet the room stays bright—
With a lamp
Still aglow,
Chasing the dancing harlots
From pillar to post.

Pillar of Salt

Pillar Of Salt
 Do you know the story of Sodom and Gomorrah?
 Let me tell you.
 Two cities destroyed from wickedness.
 Only one family fled to the mountains.
 Anger provoked by the sins of men.
 Ancient cities in the sand.
 A crime against nature.
 Disobedience toward each other.
 Evil throughout the streets.
 People giving burnt offerings.
 Soon there will be stones raining down.
 Spare no one with fire and brimstone.
 Grave sin to mankind.
 Through homosexual, all will suffer and die.
 The city and roads became a furnace.
 No one was left.
 Dominion of judgment.
 This is Sodom and Gomorrah.
 She turned around to look.
 She became a pillar of salt.
 The world is falling apart.
 A sinful nation to the grave.
 (Genesis 19:23-26)

PILLAR OF STONE

PILLAR OF STONE

No rustic charm, just manmade and synthetic
Yet the effect is timeless, standing in silence
The nod toward ancient times is sympathetic
A symbol of peace, not conquest or violence

Built here in the desert, sand swirling around
From deep within, feel that strength emanate
A sculpted blossom, just stuck in the ground
The illusion is complete, as thoughts dissipate

No clear message in scratched symbol or word
Nor any resonating meaning about its existence 
Merely vague impressions that may be inferred
Of the clarity that should come with persistence

Perhaps it came from a millennium long before
With the world still in a flux of natural coercion
Reconciled with what future events had in store
Or maybe merely erected as a playful diversion

All I Need Is Peace

Care for me please
Cover me with fleece
Be my solid pillar
And my heart's healer
For all I need is peace

Pillar of Salt and Wisdom

As Lot and his wife
Left the city of Sodom
Where gnosis flourished
His wife heard Yaldabaoth’s wrath
As the two lands burned
Hearing the children crying
Her heart made blood tears
It ripped from top to bottom
Hearing the calm call
Of gnosis singing with joy
Her soul remembered
She looked back with a quick glance
Before salty rain
Became rivers on her face
In an eye’s twinkling
She turned into a pillar
A pillar of salt
A tower of white rock salt
Through which her spirit
Climbed up the stairs of wisdom
All three thousand steps
And climbed above the heavens
And reached her first home
With all those spirits who rose
From the burning wrath
From Sodom and Gomorrah
Back below, her grave
Her grand pillar of our faith
Still stands as rock salt
To be used as seasoning
For the race of Seth
A seasoning of wisdom
To awaken all
By her noble sacrifice
Of love and gnosis
So that we all may join her
With all the angels
In the Pleroma’s banquet
Of dates and white grapes
As Philip the Apostle
Said to his students
“May our complete offering
Come with much sweet salt
For we name Sophia salt
Without her, no gift is sweet”

Pillar of Strength

Healer of the sick,
Comforter of the weak,
The troubled are transformed,
The blind can see
The deaf can hear, 
Will you be my pillar of strength?

People praise you for your work,
The lost proclaim your goodness once found.
The prideful are humbled to your reward,
The foolish plea for their forgiveness, 
The weak are endowed in you,
Will you be my pillar of strength?

Worships, praises, glorification,
All mouths who you encounter follow, 
All renewed bodies are filled with the Advocate,
All souls preach to your fruition,
Will you be my pillar of strength?

the I AM,
The Good Shepard,
The High Priest,
The Vine, 
Abba,
Eli, 
Will you be my pillar of strength?

7:20 Pm, Travis Lovitt Patio At the Right Pillar

The heavens can’t admire themselves
The spotted clouds, and the opaque wavered clouds
Like a light glide of a brush.
Our Lord gifted us with round eyes
That reflect the heavens
And a mind to ponder all his leavened world

Those chutes of bark and bugs 
Aren’t impressed by themselves;
Their flat or spiky leaves or truck wide trunk
That I need tools to fell.
The Almighty handed us fingers 
To clench and sift and grip
And the air the flowers leaven

This concrete is flat and hard
I’m used to sitting here and becoming 
Numb, in my rear,
While I spend my time like hard earned cash
To bask in what’s given free

My Pillar of Support

With you by my side
Like a lion I stride
In you I confide
You push my fears aside

With you I can ride
On any wave and tide
You are my strong aide
There's nothing left untried

With you by my side
Each slope feels like a slide
Our minds coincide
No wishes are denied

With you I can ride
On paths I've never tried
Even when you chide
My tears you've always dried

In my heart you will reside
Until the earth and sky collide

Caterpillar

Till tomorrow The Spectacular
Not a thing about it jocular;
Does keep wasting Nature's Wondrous gift
While rugged terrains giving new lift...

Steely replica of Dynamite:
It has been the same show of might;
The weakest of them all still iron
And that's the reason it is Lion...

Caterpillar at work vibration
But it's a prelude to foundation;
A couple of Day's Disturbing Earthquake
For tomorrow's structure that won't shake...

In movies crushes one like a car
And real or not the bloke turns a star!
So, would you still fault Caterpillar,
Modernist flaming sword and pillar.?

Miller Far Thriller and Cellar

That's the trouble with her Miller:
Lots of fancy for fine killer,
Yeah not Real Life - The safe thriller
But it's no Decent Time filler,
Millers remembrance of thriller
The time wise neighbour turns tiller
And one they 've got in James Bila,
In the past fond of Godzilla,
Now in their church a strong pillar...

"Oh! Why had I accepted Miller
For thriller and wine from cellar?"
Anna had forgotten his villa
Marrying an owner a Willer.

Pillar of Light

A vertical tube closed at either end,
within which is soul, wishing to ascend
but all that surrounds is organic form,
brought forth to life by a divine bliss storm.

The body has it’s need which soul does feed;
soon tail wags the dog and need becomes greed.
Senses externalised, everything sized;
no wonder then, God’s rarely realised.

Who we are can never be negated.
Waking each morn, we find heart elated;
dwelling in silence, we reclaim soul’s bliss,
rapture unbound where nothing is amiss.

Sushumna illumined, pierces the crown ~
One with the universe, in love we drown

Notes: Sushumna is an energy conduit, beginning at the root chakra and going straight up to the crown chakra. For further reading refer Wiki or any yogic text.

Pillar of Light

Pillar of light, from root to crown
Forms a magnetic field
Once fears erased, in bliss we drown
Beauteously thus healed

We are pure God-essence
Bursts forth luminescence 
In playful innocence 

Sushumna bright
Pillar of light

Five Marble Pillars For New Year

To learn how to recite koine Greek
That I may drink from the life-giving creek

Finish reading the words of Plato
To grow my knowledge thereto

Give up eggs and milk
So I can fully wear the white silk

Travel this dark world of hellfire
That I may hear Christ’s silver lyre

Be better for aeons to see
So I can become a marble tree
