Short Accorded Poems

Majestic,
Powerful,
Silencing
Enemy.
Your Heavens,
Moon and stars.

What is man?
Lesser, just
Lower than
Heavenly
Entities.
Glory-crowned,
Honor-bound.
Accorded
Dominion:
All things put
Underfoot.

Majestic
Is Your name.

(Meditations on Psalm 8)...

Arrogance absorbs
an ambition
as asses attack asses:
all are astray,
aghast and alone.

Amidst atrocities
and abhorrence,
an angel aspired amity; 
amaranthine ardor: agony, absent...

Arms appeared
and accorded assistance;
all are abetted,
amidst apprehensions....

I sit watching the sparrows at play,
They flit and flirt, and then fly away.
No trouble rests on their shoulders,
Their concern is just living today.


My thoughts would be like a sparrow’s,
Delighting in the moments accorded.
For tomorrow is always a question
Today, peace is the trophy awarded....

Her lips still blushed a youthful favor

     amidst burnished summer's spirit,

scintillating 'tween impetuous kisses

 whilst naiveté blooms gullible bosoms,

embraced afore a chill nature 

  withering budding wildflowers

    taking precedence o'er accorded doctrines  

          farthermost harmonious freewill ...

F orever searching
A lways in need of God
I ntellect too high to see
T he simple truth for all but me
H opefully someday I’ll know
F ulfillment in my heart will show
U nlock this hidden door of mine so I may see the truth behind
L ove will come in greater splendor
L onging for caring arms so tender
Y earnings rewarded  love will be accorded...

Pray, what would heaven

               give to know the time


That we're accorded,

               mortal, thru each rhyme?


O muse the wonders

               granted one more breath,


Lost to the stars, instead,

               'midst songs ... of death ...







(For Albert Einstein ... and all great minds taken from us)...

It's just been twelve 
     long years now
Twelve years of void, 
     of unquenched pain
Twelve teary years 
     of what would have been
Twelve years of your 
     absence accorded by death
You are thoroughly missed 
     dear brother

The death of a sibling can only 
     at best imagined if never experienced.
I lay a wreath at the headstone 
     of your grave my brother.
Adieu Josiah Jeremiah!!! 
     Until we come to you...

the arts-ian munywe
i am longing for the day,
the arts will pay.
it is long overdue,
appreciation is due.
i visualize sculptors,
being accorded an audience.
i envision musicians,
being lent many ears.
i see the poets and writers,
receiving thunderous ovations.
i feel rapturuous applauses,
being extended to dancers.
i imagine all the awe,
that painters will experience.
actors too will reap,
more than they had sown.
i am longing for the day,
the arts will pay....
