His Heart

Eons, yes, eons! 
His heart has been bearing
the pain of separation;
The false hopes
He sells to his turbulent heart 
crucifixes it unawares everyday;

But!
Like Jesus it resurrects 
after every death 
Uttering the name of his love;
This cycle of death and rebirth 
Like awagaman 
Keeps his heart fighting 
The odds of his life;
And in between, 
His heart suffers
The trauma of separation.

Tangible God

In India some gods come in cast systems
Deity solids molded
Gold plated with a hint of soul
Orange blossoms grow in China
They touch and feel of divinity
Italians keep images of Him on the mantle
Crucifixes around the neck when they go out
Enchanted Indonesians go bump in the dark
They know when they hit into something old
Embrace the cosmos
Made of flesh made in His own image
In space meteors bounce off of Him
They tickle

Premium Member Holy Punchers

I think hell is like a midnight grocery store.
Shelves filled with burning crucifixes and pestilence.
Bloody-black water up to the necks of Half-souls.
Groping mindlessly in the dark...
Searching for God in brackish hopelessness. 
Flint and wooden carts colliding-
Black water biters abound.

The checkout line is a turnstile. 
Manned by faceless, dripping things.
Wielding holy punchers.
Eternally pocking your debit card soul.
While howling      Who's Next!
