Framing Ordinary

By the bedside standing, half forgotten,
familiar shapes to soothe the eye.
Images to christen every morning,
a picture to watch me as sleeping I lie.

Worldly Prison

Worldly Prison

While on earth are in a worldly prison;
Jesus back to heaven He has arisen;
Each door there for us was opened wide
So we could very easily go inside;
Our church priest want to christen.

Above These Mountains Still

we click our heels but wonder still
through the fields of chance
taste the spirit of gospel red roses
and I christen thee in the name of glory still
when I ask the sky to take her place
above these  mountains still


Its Present Reclaimed

My soul ancient,
  but my spirit new

The past a contrivance,
  the future untrue

My thoughts reborn,
  all feelings renamed

To christen this moment,
 —its present reclaimed

Hosiah's Vow

You can only change
what is
with what isn’t
Where you Christen
this moment 
by choice
You can only bless 
tomorrow
through memory
Where you choose
to be free
— and rejoice

Love's Delight

The pen became my instrument
  the words became my notes

The stanzas burn like songs on fire
  new voices scream with hope

The ink runs free and heavy
  the score in black and white

The music coursing through my soul
  —to christen love’s delight

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2019)

Ghosts Shadow Houses

Ghosts shadow houses working for a second glance staring at the corner of moonlight 
creeping fog fervent chasms christen calls lifting hearts from fluttered chests descend the 
stairs in panic a smoky season plumes doors slam voices with windows moan pallid 
reeking lace laments light forms behind you

Cement Mask

Mother Nature wears a cement mask,
One we have fastened tight. . . 
With buildings as screws in her soft skin of soil;
With pavement an agent her surface to spoil;
With sewers as needles her veins to foil; 
Mother Nature wears a cement mask,
One we have fastened tight. . . 
 . . .and her covered beauty shall christen the earth's blight . . .

Premium Member First Love

To whom can i describe her when smiling? 
With northern eyes of ice blue that glisten,
Her hair aflame against the wind beguiling
Incantation from an angel, who listen,
Endowed with contours of feminine styling
In ancient times Venus she would be christen.
Oh the love of my youth i will cherish
Memories i keep will never perish.

Awaiting The Night

Lost inside passion
with burning desire
Vision refocused
in tunnels of fire

Screams of delirium
christen the night
Darkness a metaphor
tainted delight

One then another
the virgins do fall
Lascivious demons
unleashed in the hall

Till daybreak approaches
new light on the way
The beast back in harness
—this evening to stray

Spring Says I Love You

Spring says "I love you"
she's waiting again
to christen each morning
to let life begin

  She's dressed in white linen
with cranberry stripes
a bonnet all brimming
with strawberries ripe

  kiss her and send her
outside to play
you can't keep her home
she must go on her way

  she doesn't belong 
to me or to you
she 'll grow into Summer
before June is through

Premium Member As we metamorphose

We’re he who spirit has chosen to christen,
transforming within form each and every cell,
which reflecting God’s light, sparkle and glisten, 
synced to rhythm of bliss beats, boding all is well, 
that thus gentling attention, as we listen,
we sense vibrations of Om, the cosmic bell.
In time form becomes a flame that has no name;
tempest of bliss magnetism, we cannot tame.

Poets Are Born

Good poets are born, not fashioned.
The masters of sterility
write verses in prose and christen
them in the name of Poetry.

Meters are measured arrangements,
rhyme is correspondence of sound;
But devoid of inspiration
results, if ever, rarely found.

A poem must be a poets breath:
On inhalation he creates,
the exhalation, he narrates.
Breathing life into words once dead.

Premium Member Losing Her Glow

Drained fingers jot sweet memory
calling Pam’s name in every bloom,
as laced nights recall the glory
of fondness born from love’s heirloom...
Time pauses… her Glow swirls on trees
where romps christen fire tasting life..
And though wonder darts to appease
pale the ticks, yearning for dear wife.

My Guitar

A beauty, she stands by the fireplace.
An hourglass shape encased in cedar 
and mahogany Spanish taste
and I love her dearly.

Three decades of teary play on
strings that sting the skin and
burn yet still, I yearn for the taste of
melodious bass and treble chase.

Golden her face. 
Her tone consoling, my soul performing
her inner grace, laid bare for all who will listen.
Placed or misplaced, in earnest
I christen her tone in song.
