Dark eyes
Unfiltered shine
Black mascara anoints
These lashes flicker by design
Flawless...

Stem of growth fuelled to full
Encapsulated
Lusting combustion ignites
They, loves explosion anoints

Fighting apartheid, hating privilege:
Having "favorites" (?) - thus hating Favor
Until Jesus THE WORD showed me
Anoints His children, any color...

the angel leans in the breath
of a miracle second, babies coo
and feathers fly down and smoo

to the psalm that anoints your head
red flesh the secret flown through

Who adjourns me
in this backlight story
Who will call the wolf
to dance in her captivity ?
Willow wisp dispensing hollowness
espied on fields of grey

The World's a stage
disembark at your own peril
Pontificate
your ardour
anoints us well...

Every new dawn reigns

as nature's queen to start the day

and her sword of light

anoints us thru the window panes

Through azure skies aswirl with violet…lavender…and pinks…
               The orb of orange anoints the globe’s horizon - as she sinks,

               And lends the glad beholder…though a brief and fluxion sight…
               Celestial cosmic artistry…as day turns into night....

First, let him into your heart
Then with his spirit he anoints you
And if you remain in him, and his word remains in you
Anything you want, he will grant
Heaven and Earth now belongs to you
For you are now his saint.
Never can you be alone
But together sit on his throne in Heaven!...

Love bliss anoints, here now, within
What is love but God’s touch
Both end and the means, so begin
Let go of ego crutch

Simply rest lower mind
Narrowness that does bind
Choose joyous pathways kind

Path of truth points 
Love bliss anoints

Everyone Educate Horn Limerick

Trump is not keen on making points;
Himself always awards and also anoints;
Nothing ever does he clearly explain;
Drives us insane when he does complain;
Can you imagine cabinet he appoints.

Can't wait to see them on Saturday Night Live;
Will laugh so much and hope we can survive.

Lord is my shepherd
He’s with me.  I have no want
Always forever

I am in pastures
Verdant green with cool waters
Beside the stillness

God shall protect me
When I walk through death’s shadow
He shall be my guide

At this large table
He anoints my head with oil
My cup runs over

Goodness follows me
All of the days of my life
In my Good Lord’s house....

The seagull cries 
pleading the right of birds
An Aladdin's  
jibe to overcome plight
Rugged flights to fill your soul
The Madman's voice
and his lack of choice
drills the silence
His fingers stiff with sentences
hollow words I don't understand
The Winter chaff casts a slipping land
The Lantern on the hill anoints lionesses
Commuting to overcome the earth...

Life on the grand stage,
an ancient drama.
From, "untouchable",
to holy, "Braman".

One chews the sandal,
one anoints the head.
One's venerated,
the other's just dead.

There's an old saying,
life is for learning.
But the villain says,
Books are for burning.

The show must go on,
the great endeavor.
The plot of a man,
that lives forever!

Where is the boundary
between spirit and stone,
that place where myth is born
and marries meaning
to the beauty and brutality 
of form. Is it only our imagining
that imbues things 
with the glow of transcendence,
anoints the ordinary 
to elevate atoms to the status
of the sublime;
is there only human art to warm
the cold of our lonely caves,
to redeem us from time.

Cadence of bliss emotion
playing out in slow motion,
anoints nodes across our form,
by divine pulsations warm.

Beauteous is each love hue
as it does within renew
bliss ignition by embrace,
bestowed solely by God’s grace.

Soul ascent’s immediate
by bliss burns so intimate,
transmuting us as the flame,
which may be assigned no name.

HEART DIVIDED
`   `   `   `   `   `


arms hanging on like twigs,
    as anger lives inside wired mind
         this virus from a soul growing restless
              
                      for once,  my heart's love flies divided
until holy balm anoints, pouring grace with ease

I wish I knew where time went,
Washed clean away,
Jackal jaws ate it up
And swallowed down the day.

The very sun ignores me,
Moon cuts me dead,
Spattering of solitude
Anoints my empty head.

Don’t much care for dreams
Nor sleep’s domain,
Nothing equals nothing,
Begets more of the same.

Don’t much care for waking,
Walking into walls,
Frozen frames of judgement,
Whatever befalls, befalls....

The accordionist (haikus)
To the accordionist playing on the streets of my hometown, Agrinio, Greece

Nectar of a tune.
A bee am I, harvesting
my memories’ buds.

A bitter tune.
Pollen on the wind’s eyes,
in the shape of tears.

Tripping the sound is
into the veins of my soul.
A rosy sunset.

Silence scented sound.
Aura of angels anoints
my prayers. 

Sliding the tune is
Through the fingers of my heart.
Travails of a poem....

His heart is a branch,
And I am the bird
That crept by to
Perch on the wood,
His eyes are
Heaven’s first light
And I sit by the balcony
As the light anoints me.

Even in your darkness
I will stay
For I will twinkle
Like the stars
Even if you run
With wings on your feet,
I will jump from cloud to cloud
To even be your shadow
Or a grain of sand beneath your feet
To live with you is my desire,
And to be your love my longing....

Most delicate     
tragedy     
Far from ravines   
Sea knows me   
  
Air scents     
Lupines of love     
grow in the half light     

Unfolding their     
sapphire wings     
Learning to fly     
again   
  
pearlescent dew   
anoints this dawn   
I am waiting   
for the refrain   
  
of rain   
spindles weave   
axis of sky   
around   
  
gentle hills   
breathing   
in motion   
  
reflecting 
pearlescent 
painted 
ocean...

As she looked into his eyes;
There's something stirring in his soul;
Cries of freedom, screams of free me Lord;
She sees this, as she prays for him;
His mind wanders, as she anoints him;
He stumbles under the power of their Father;
Jesus Lord our God ;
Has come to release his troubled soul;
Now set free now he's really for the kingdom;
Dying in her arms he's free now gone home with God;

Care in One's Words/Actions (???? ???? ?????)
 
 
Silence in Deed, Doesn't Mislead,
Not Lulling Other's Trust to Sleep,
Appearances, Actions are Believed,
Conform to Examinations 'Un-Deep',
Surface 'What Is', Isn't Relieved,
Carefree Talk Tolls are Steep.

     

Stealing Minds by Impression,
Can be as Severe as 'Gunpoints',
Perhaps Worse, Guns are Confession,
Gullibility Subtlely Anoints,
At Mercy to Self Preconception,
Likewise to Misleading 'Clip Joints"...
