Shadows befall men
Behind close doors of hearing
Bars my fleeting soul....

from a puff

disappearing skyward

out of mind....

Need some hue on.

The winds from 
Outside the train
Blow dust
Into my eyes.

    Never!
Will darkness befall me
For I shall not strain 
In the dusk.

My lights are bright....

Poetic angst,
Jimmy Dean

Poetic angst,
Brando screams

“Stella, Stella,”
the spirits call

“Live Fast, Die Young”
—the fates befall

Your tenebrous soul, masquerading as love, haunts these comments all.

Oh, Lord save my soul, that my eyes, on your words, do not befall!

Wearing a veil
I revisit the past
Hiding from suitors
who hold to me fast

Muffling my words
as shadows befall
Their spirits indentured 
— old feelings recalled

And she sits by the phone, 
waiting to be called.... 
the girl with her 
heart on her sleeve. 
She waits and she waits, 
till despair does befall..... 
so concludes it is time she should leave......

Drenching down in dark,
quietness would sadly hark,
the pleasure of turmoil,
to befall and cruelly spoil
the peace and calm,
singing a cursed psalm,
ceasing smiles to sway,
taking the radiance away....

she, my eyes now view
trickle, in delightful slide
translucent droplets befall
be that towel true
placing, tracing, gracing guide
her curvaceousness thralls, calls

The midnight masquerade ball.
Seemingly slight brocade shawl.
Beseechingly glance, decayed hall.
Haunted trance, unafraid fall.
Vaunted skies evade all.
She tries dissuade call.
Decree daylight, unmade, befall....

My song shall be of Jesus
when sitting at his feet.
I call to mind his goodness
and know my joy's complete.
My song shall be of Jesus
whatever ills befall.
I'll sing the grace that saves me
and triumph's over all!...

Chinese slaves place their stones,
Breaking muscles and bones.
Defending its territory,
It shines in pitiful glory.
Yet this wall stands tall,
To defend those whom befall.
Those dark days have passed,
And now united at last....

I glimpse, she naked
Tanned, excited to pert
Curvaceousness lures

In urging approach
Whispering kisses befall
Hands to waists, eyes meet

Wandering, roaming
Exploring in joyous thrive
Declaring pairing

Sometimes like a sweet, delicious magical morsel,
The best thing that could be served to any mortal,
Sometimes like a Trojan horse, agony swaddled within,
The worst thing that could befall any soul,
We all have our encounters in time...

Forging through
 Destiny will befall a crimson head
 Wrapped in silver tongue
 
 
 
Slanted, the gift jury rigs
 A court appointment dusting
 Off today's wig
 
 
 
A jester posed as unsketched
 Captures an ear briefly
 Searching the discount rack...

Memories of the future,
dancing in my head

Recalling what will come to pass,
 joyous and unread

Reflections yet to happen,
vivid they befall

Voices that still wait to sing
—calling me enthralled

A Gift to Give

forgiveness divine
God’s great gift of grace that’s mine
from now for all time

apologies due
address errors past from you
I accept as true

God’s love lives in all
And when mercy does befall
sins are not recalled

The shying of success
When thou call to success
To overcome temptation 
and suffocation.
Adaptation of beneath
And low underneath
Befall upon the falling
Scheming of town and 
properties.
Patience is the overcomer
extremely.
Don’t be in a hurry
It will be your turn sooner....

Beyond the house…

Pass the back yard…

Through the trees, and into 
the forest…

That is where you will see 
the pines…

Shadows befall the branches
 that are covered with needles, 
as the scent of pine floats and
 floods the heavy air…

What has befallen my father may well befall me.
Should that be my fate, remember me as I was, my loves,
As I shall be remembering you in the happiest times of long ago,
As I hope he is doing now,
Although the lizard brain is uncensored, as is it's way.

Thus it lies, let him be....

In the trees, where I tread,
A certain darkness to befall.
I awake in my slumber,
A shadow’s beckoning call.
It pleas,
It begs.
For compassion so drear.
From the echo of breath,
To the stench of fear.
So run, if you please.
And safe, should you feel.
For your death, is a must,
My deep carnal lust....

once then in my way you came 
and stood along, strange and yet dubious I became
talkless I pretend, and remained
I thought that was wise but insaned I am.

it then became a past and couldn't last
my eyes became wild and upon your cast
I walked all way by,
and once in life I befall unto you.....

Sin corrupts human souls.
Evil controls human minds.
We need escape.

Tragic consequences befall those who wander.
Lack of purpose invites evil forces.
We need escape.

Mere humans cannot fight this overarching enemy.
Set aside greedy lust in the pursuit of absolute power
And one will have the ultimate escape!...
