pillar of love
After all these years,
we still stand—
your love,
your life,
sacrificed for me.
Our struggles were always overtaken by love.
Your smile
shone brighter than the rest.
You blossomed into my rose,
my calm in every storm.
You were my heart
when mine felt lost.
My shoulder
when the world came crashing.
Your kisses—
moments of love I’ll never forget.
We shared laughter,
shared dreams,
and then…
shared life.
I watched your hands shake,
your

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

The Scourging at the Pillar
Betrayed and arrested, the verdict is death.
Pilate tried to resist but gave in.
As surely as life ends without any breath,
So, we now see the wages of sin.
Beaten and scourged now, He stood before all
Pilate gave up the urge to set free
And convicted the King and the Savior of all
To a death of great agony.
Now we

Democracy's Pillars
In marble halls where laws are etched in stone,
Where freedom's song should echo, full and grown,
A silence creeps, insidious and slow,
As arts and letters wither, they are forced to go.
For what is liberty without a voice?
A hollow promise, absent reasoned choice.
Democracy's not merely casting votes,
It thrives on minds that question and take notes.
When budgets slash

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

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

Pillar
A second ago.
Yes just a second,
she was beautiful
beyond comparison.
Not a wrinkle or a frown line.
Succulent lips,
glowing skin.
Gorgeous hair
cascading down her back.
Even her hands were elegant.
Men and women alike
looked upon her with admiration
If truth be told, with envy as well.
Her’s seemed a charmed life
there in a city by the sea.
Status, a

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

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

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

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

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
