Where I work nothing is ever slow
Sometimes they will shout
Sometimes they will pout
What cometh next you never can know

CONCRETE

              Concrete decision cometh
                 on full firm faith.
                Stands behind,
                strong stable mind.

“Your cone's so thick, can I have a lick?”

Not any vanilla,
nary a scintilla,
did poor Susie’s sweet tongue get to flick....

Vows that were uttered at the starting buzzer
A union unique
A 35 year streak

Cometh not by voice to air,
Nor composition be;

But my lifetime overlaying
The image of Jesus Christ;
The transporter of my sin
To Calvary's tree;...

Strings build 'til they scream
The highest notes in two keys
A blazing sunset...

The 
writing 
motive 
was 
strong
Obey 
it 
I 
must.
To 
the 
picture 
I 
head
But 
help 
less 
it 
was. 
Then 
I 
learnt
Inspiration 
cometh 
not 
from 
it!...

Oh, prithee hear thy lover’s solemn oath,
For thou art more beloved than sweet life,
Anon, thy love wilt cometh with the lark
And makest thou mine wife.

The outlaw has come to our friendly land
His words are his weapons to slay and to kill
I pray for him really, for he not understands
But just mocks from ignorance as that is his thrill...

Golden heads of meadow flowers stand proud
The setting sun
Calls to the
Evening
To 
Start
Over
As shadows
Begin to form
Another night before once more the day.

Poseidon
What sweet gift
You giveth
Unto me
This beautiful handmaiden
From the deep sea
How can
I love her
Faithfully
When she cometh by sea
While I cometh by land
The gift that you gave...

Emeka was starving in a lightless land
no passersby bothered to give him a hand.
Crystal tinkles in a nearby palace
wine flows from a silver-encrusted chalice.
Emeka dies alone; purple shall atone....

Behind the veil of beauty, 
reside darkness
waiting like lover
peering through the windows,
counting the ticking of clock 
cometh the hour,
transported from illusion 
to grotesque,
all beauty decay....

I
am
a rock
of ages
I am that I am
In the beginning was the Word
As it were the Word was with God, and the Word was God
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me...

I cometh through the sand stones of time 
Washed ashore before you were born 
Knowing my voice is silent  
Though determined to find 
The one who prevails 
Through terror reigns 
Set me free 
For you
Love...
