an unjust thrust
love’s trust betrayed...

and finally I fell down
won't fall for that again...

Mistake makes us fall from grace, 
Disappearing with a trace, 
God is all over the place....

Listen to poem:

on the cusp

poised precarious, point perched,
lies threshold brink verge,
the tipping-point pivot to,
rise/fall from grace....

But is not strength weakness, and weakness, strength?
For water, while formless, is invincible
While the tallest tower will suffer
the highest fall from grace....

Words of wisdom caress my face…   
Returning from the fall from grace…   
She is here, standing before you without a trace…   
Patiently wanting you to discover this place…...

In a field of bloody flowers,
Stood a lonely boy.
Over him a flower towers;
Eyes him like a toy.

He tries to cry,
To run and shout,
But the red sky,
Has no way out.

He cries;
He calls;
He dies;
He falls....

Houses and people 
in disrepair...
Memories reduced to
the dust of despair...
Distorted reality...
Confirmed disbelief,
Subjective fall from grace...
Times of life, times of lace...
Hover about this gloomy place....

A chasm divides us from spiritual realms
  Bringing inner conflict as we spiral into chaos
  Yet the divide gets deeper with time
  Shadowy preachers spew twisted sermons
  Steep is the fall from grace

An upward trajectory.....
The lows haunt the dreams of the believer 
Afraid of heights 
A fall from grace could shatter one's faith 
The downward spiral....
Drinking the liquid that never quenched thirst 
A currently reality...

fortune is reversed
hog-tied and thrown off a bridge ~
once was riding high

A gentle breeze
on golden face,
eyes dark,
like ace of spades.

Your footprint in sand
I touch,
a wanting more potent
than lust.

Your hair that dances
in time,
to the ebbs and flows
of tide.

A smile I long to kiss
and taste,
to have one chance
I'd fall from grace....

Branding the wayward 
as a perpetrator of evil
let us pause a moment
to examine origin of sin

knowing not love and light
is the cause not ignorance
resulting in fall from grace

all that then is required
is to show the roadmap 

that such souls may awake

Through the looking glass
An undoubtedly strange place
Gold doesn't always glitter there
On their glory days
Film stars are festooned
And paraded around town
When they fall from grace...
Even once, they're hog-tied
And thrown off a bridge!

Ethereal plane decides fate
Prior soul agreement
Upon earth, let not love abate
We’re soul luminescent 

Fall from grace, no disgrace
See God now, face to face
Cave of heart, sacred place

Free from karmic chain
Ethereal plane

each soul in as identity
be it manifest as form or not
as long as it behaves as an ego
feeling incomplete nurtures desires
thus presupposes separation from God
which is delusion borne of ignorance 
representing the human condition 
spoken of as our fall from grace
redeemed by purifying heart...

A maelstrom fell from the heavens,
Dark clouds a limbo of vertigo,
As the blind lives hurried to avoid its wrath.

Great angel of the sky, 
Must these clouds cry to watch you die?

Not one great grey could hold such tears,
Humbly joining in the fall from grace,
As it lands upon a traveler’s face....

Those at my behest…
  know that limits persuade
  and words orphaned alone
  into emptiness hide
  with the snow passing on
  a new robin will sing
  each breath left forgotten
  until spoken aloud
  as memories fall from grace
    —in the silence unnamed

Fallen.

Down into the cold dark morass.

Earthborn once more.

Discarded.

From the warmth of your secret fires.

Out of grace.

Into the wilderness.

Love no longer mine to give.

Nor yours to have.

Requiem.

Into a labyrinth scene.

With shades of your face sketched in reverting dreams.

I bask in the warmth 
Of heavens glow
Gentle raindrops 
Bathe my soul

Daemons retreat
For where they came
To no longer point
Their fingers of blame

A healing light
As the sun shines down
Lighting my path
While I’m homeward bound

Rising up 
From my fall from grace
I have arrived
At a sacrosanct place...

Racing through the night
Our hearts must take flight

As the beasts give chase
We flee from our fall from grace

Consumed by sin
We desperately ignore the evil within

The devil lurks near, preying on our fear
The apex of insanity becomes uncomfortably clear

We are young and we are mislead
We are apathetic and we are dead...

A moment in the blink of eye,
When angel statues fall from grace
Flaming from the steel blue sky.
A moment in the blink of eye
The trailing embers wail and sigh;
Draw a portal that will efface.
A moment in the blink of eye
When angel statues fall from grace.

In one swift stay
A solid say


In one swift stride
A message rides


In one swift breeze
A better squeeze


In one swift turn
A hustle burns


In one swift touch
More speaks as such


In one swift show
The rancid flow


In one swift pace
The fall from grace

When did this ice age happen
how did I miss the signs
when one upon another we fall
so cold in our designs.

When callous hearts forget to feel
how can love bloom and grow
when I to you and you to me
so many insults are thrown.

When caring is the victim
how sad this time and place
when what is gained is paramount
so far the fall from grace.
