A Ramshackle Faith
If the moonless night
slept, sheepish it'd be.
Strange, fresh dude not cool
chit chat about him
awkward and painful.
Where is a loo
or rear window
to crawl out of,
I'm so tempted.
Bragged he loathed
his girlfriend.
He purred, one
more date.
I said,
no.

A Ramshackle Faith
Temptation’s collars
choke life out of me.
Truth the greatest gift,
it costs everything,
just one breath away.
Doubt takes the joy,
walked the fool’s quest
too long, discern;
deceived – elect.
Every tongue
will confess,
our Spirits
to kneel
before
Christ.

A Ramshackle Faith
A global index,
strive to intermix
with the universe
and it’s creator,
find a point of view
Cosmic order
inspired journey
discovering
questions of faith
Doomsayers
predicts man
in ‘Star ships’
invades
God’s own
Help!

A Ramshackle Faith
She wrung away ache
With meteor rains;
Threw flare coloured stains
Into tomorrow's
Skies, hoping to flee.
She followed star's
Patterns too far
Into the night.
Too far to see.
Galaxies help
Aid her deep
Repair. To
Tell her
She's not
Lone.

A Ramshackle Faith
A ramshackle faith
unattended lies
withering on vines
thirsting for the truth
of parched memory
Doubtless sparrows
mocking the mind
chirp happily
in denial
moments pass
lost in time’s
endless search
for then
is now
lost

Ramshackle Park
Maestro! I lost all the keys, all the lost keys
but I'm just a smudgy decoy, right?
awoken after the rising superstition
awoken after the old wheelchair genocide
I was bored in this theatre marionette
as a hopeful jackdaw, as a monstrous cyanide
disembodied voices took my luminous ladders
to the nocturnal visitor, his oncoming oversight
strange Faun's path brought me to

A Ramshackle Masquerade
Contrary faces, a ramshackle masquerade.
Strengths stance unwavering in face, though weakness taunts,
gaining momentum to take its place.
"Fear nothing but fear it's self" the age old adage turns battle cry for the seat of life.
Roots digging deeper through sinking soil, as foliage trembles and falls
to sediment vanishing.
Excavating fortitudes treasure chest.
A variable whose values are
