barely a flower
holy consecrated ground...
headstones well adorned

O precious wandering eyes,
Ever running; ever touring

O delicate prying eyes,
Ever seeking; ever asking

Please do all you may,
But lead me to no sin....

A sinner and saint
Deem equally sacrosanct,
So do the sacred
And profane consecrated,
Is not the path of faith quaint?

You breathe as I breathe,
   your heart beats as mine;
our souls are as one
   like flowers on a vine;
it comes from our knowing
   we'll always have this,
two hearts and one love
   consecrated in bliss....

The parking lot melts into the street,
	The congregation walks down
		holy 		steps.
Consecrated earth cries like watercolor,
	the dandelions slake
their 		thirst.

	I pray for rain and my mouth
is filled 	with snow....

The moon  smoothly rises with passion
    the sun sprouts sprinkling joy
    stars toast  in radiant harmony
    in life that is genuine emotion

    Heaven offers faith and praise, honor
    and life is consecrated in amor...!...

   your heart beats as mine;
our souls are as one
   for our lips taste that wine
that comes from our knowing
   we'll always have this,
two hearts and one love
   consecrated in bliss....

And just what is a consecrated smile
What is a cavalier grin
When I cry why are my tears sweet
Why?
Shouldn't have sinned
Now I'm discreet
Why?
Because of my forlorn concentrated smile

I
vow
to you
this day forth
my full devotion
my heart belongs to only you
our souls meshed beyond terrestrial promises
these exchanged rings symbolizing our mortal union and consecrated destiny

As life was born with passion
    the sun came bringing joy
    and its lovely luminescence
    stars toasted harmony
    in a dream that was pure emotion,
    heaven gave faith and praise
    and life was consecrated to love...
    As divine consequence!...

From a valid marriage
Arises a bond between the spouses
Its very nature is perpetual
Exclusive
In a Christian marriage
Spouses are strengthened
As it were consecrated for the duties
The dignity of their state by a special sacrament.
(CCC 1638

Breathed his last,
On dear's lap.

Each cells of her immersed in deep sorrow,
From that sorrow, a glow has
Risen, consecrated an idol
At the deepest of her heart.

Illuminated that idol,
With never ending memories,
Prayed, worshipped and loved,
That idol till her last breath....

I shall be elated I shall be consecrated
Separated from the Pains of this life
And yet we're all related 
all children of God all being Brothers and Sisters in Christ

Oh holy, God exalted
His plans for mercies
Free to all freely given
Separation from the sins forgiven

You are free to shoot
 fair words on
 unjustice... but not free
 to shoot bellicose artifacts
 mortals...!
 You are free to drop
 prejudices for life...
 but not to plunder
 the consecrated 
 and concentrate history...
 We must shelter the works
 of our splendid artists!
 Not general anti-democracy,
  no total obscurantism!
 Anomie, no!
 Coup, no!...

A bloodied sword
  found on the battlefield
Corpses strewn about 
  in the dark and dirt
The fallen lie on consecrated ground 
  Their eyes blank, their limbs cut
  Stragglers walk on this field
Their memories of peace 
  dying with each step 
So the wicked winds of mortality 
have come to claim their own 
They thought they were.......
But reality came forward 
Snuffing out that candle...

ELIZABETHAN LOVE PASTICHE

I will pluck  Parmenter from your orchard bower
And taste it’s Ambrose and the scented flower
There we shall pass a brief but blessed hour
While I sup your essence sweet piquant and sour
Lest passing time should look on us to glower
And curse us so no more we may have power
To circumvent the fates and they devour
Our consecrated rapture that they scour

Peaceful meadow felt like consecrated ground.
Barely a noise, one songbird’s tweets.
Lovelier on this summer morning than I could have imagined.
I reposed in the grass, smelling lavender nearby.

Lying on my back, communing with the sun,
I felt like God had created this dreamscape especially for me.
A blue dragonfly zipped into my view, then gone.
Her presence verified my feeling; consecrated ground....

It was a severed finger
in an envelope,
which wrote the letter
of consent.

Oh, my father
I am still crying
with loss of words
and figures.

Past the hills
I sent the secret of
my poems which did not tell
me the name of knife-

that was put in my back
by my unknown
brothers of shame. I will
now bleed all life.

It was only an
apology. I will still
walk with my toes drawing
the stripes of welts.

COPLA CUARENTA Y SEIS: This Bad Guy World

Religious hate-mongers pullulate
Gullets stuffed full make laymen loathe:
Sacred totem

Even football wins dedicate
« To Country, Race and team-mates’ Faith! »:
Sport’s anathème

When prayers rise from stadium grounds
For wins against rival teams’ gods:
Holy Crusade

Who plays whom on consecrated grounds
Little gods dribble balls with swords:
Pray in stockade

"The devil wasn't a devil until he became a devil."

A model of sagacity
Faultless and excellent in beauty
Covered with valuable stones
Annointed as a guardian cherub
Set upon the consecrated mountain of God
Flawless in ways until iniquity appeared
Beauty made the heart arrogant
Brightness currupted sageness
Filled with violence by multitude of merchandise
Driven out in disgrace
Made spectacle before earth kings to see...
