Each step turns fearfully tricky,
Like a land marshy and sticky;
Lord, without your graces, I feel,
In worldly existence no zeal...

werewolf reaches his paws in the air
plucking the moon out of her safe place
he has ominous plans, ones I cannot fathom
I fearfully stare as it is happening...

The Halloween tree
Fearfully stark and barren
Empty of Fall leaves
But holds creatures of the night
The moon rests on its branches

So I fear this clown 
He's fearfully quiet
He has a fierce face 
Cunning tears as well 
When he smiles I feel frightened

I'd never been afraid of falling
As a rather clumsy person
I had fallen my whole life.
Then I fell in love
And falling became terrifying
but getting up became the hardest part....

As we chased
Spotlights, 

So did I find
Your perversions
Fearfully
Desirable.

What with 
the oil in that
Hotel room, it
Must have 
Been obvious 
to you. 

Speeding along, 
Awaiting for Death
by a forklift
in Winter....

The old days

Loom up nostalgic

Or fearfully..

Arisings

With stories

Claiming times past

With its light 

And clouds of 

Dust..

Powerful memories 

Reaching back with 

Longing and love..

No knowing of

This mystery......

to forgive, to be forgiven,
to smoothen what is 
uneven,

to soothe deep hurts with a vow,
the right time is just 
right now.

easily, instantly we hate.
cautiously, fearfully 
we love.

postponing kindness, we wait.
but tomorrow comes 
too late!...

Dark,
ravenously ruled the rocky cave for many hundred years
fearfully fled to the firmament when a little lamp brought
Light

Wrap me up in your words
Float me like a feather
Seal me like a burning torch
Hot and pure refined like silver
Shining clear as crystal
Ringing out heavenly sounds 
Stealing me with inner strength
For I am fearfully and wonderfully made
In Your image- Lord.

Oh Donald dear, here we are again
  Are you indeed the representative of republicans?
Your speeches flow like some comedic schtick
  Will the wall be built with adobe brick?
Behind you a  following of thousands hearing all you’re not saying
  Leaving the rest of us on our knees and fearfully praying....

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
   Manifests uncertainty.
   Stark staring eyes gaze fearfully.
   Only heartbeats, and the ticking clock
   Break silence; then as a whistle blows
   Each mask unfurls in victory.

   G. B. Seal.    Complete the lines.   7/ 25/ 2015
   Line 2 - Ezra Pound....

Held captive within my own stupidity
Stuck within the walls that bind
The past is stuck, studying me

You hit me down with unknowing eyes
A pain stings, but I have no words
I hold on too fearfully dreams

A knife bleeds my heart
You see nothing, they all see nothing
As you are my keeper
I hate too have...

Into the damp room things creep.
So, in it no one should sleep,
Young girls asked to do so weep,
Ruth awake all night: scared heap,
Thrice did fearfully leap,
A better room: an open jeep.

Into the vileroeom snakes slid:
Two short black ones there soon hid!
You don't ask "what inmate did."
Won't you room farewell bid?...

My blood trickles
through the tip of my pen
as my soul is exposed
yet once again.

Naked, my words
slowly open the door,
and step into the world
largely ignored.

Fearfully, they
confront giants of hate,
bigotry, ignorance,
Thus fixing their fate.

So bleeding, I
press my pen to the page
and bear my soul once more
to cowards’ rage....

FEARFULLY I AM DIZZY As I stand up to the honey badger--

Sprinkling fluorescent muted dots of racing shadows,
Fatefully  anxieties hypocrisies dilemmas,
As vertigo swirls away constants fathoms.
"I stand up to the honey badger"


“I fear not the bee stings but run from the honey the badger brings”
---James Edward Lee Sr.

Killing bit of soul everyday
Is only one gun hammer click away
Hidden behind the blanketed curtain
Hidden from sight so sure of a win
And shielded force from the light of day
A murderous horde of sold out souls
Claiming blood beating fearfully cold
For crimes of unwitting imagination
Committed and unsuccessfully sold
Without communication...

Journey man
Chef of Choral cuisine
Sunset at Dusk
Drained of Melanin
A voice heard across generations
Stilled in immirimious waters
Strange silence 
As hearts fearfully flutter
What deafening silence is this?
An iroko has communed with the grass
Chills crawl up macho spines
This Hero here has joined eternal climes
Adieu, brother
Adieu, Bara....

“What would you have me do?”
Jesus said to the blind man
“That I might see”

“Open my eyes Lord That I may see YOU?”

I am in AWE- YOU are AWESOME God
Your creation is all around me
I believe Lord- I see Lord 
I am fearfully and wonderfully made!

And God-
Help me to respect and love your creation 
And above all
YOU

The giver sought to be good;
He found a bum in the wood.
The bum, in his tattered jeans,
Holding a cold can of beans,
Whistled a tune of delight;
Joy on his face---what a sight!

The giver, behind a tree,
Hid fearfully in misery,
Then cringing, crept him away;
No virtue was his today.
The words in his mind like doom---
Who, they asked, who needs whom?...

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE 

You are my sunshine,
My precious daughter in whom I love,
You are mine, 
Rely on me and I will give you rest,
For you are fearfully and wonderfully made,
In my image,
You are not alone, 
For you are mine,
You are like a diamond,
So precious, you shine,
You glow in my presence,
You are my daughter in whom I love and want to spend time with....

The sky’s cloudy and dark, seemingly dismal
I’m in a field of high weeds and a lone tree
There is a windmill nearby moving forceful
The wind is whipping on by, blowing fiercely
Fearfully, lightning flashes over my head
The thunder approaches just wanting me dead
I’m surely afraid of its awesome power
It’s by the nature of the storm I cower

a poem
pestering a mind to post
& this inside is like hills
on volcanic reactions
or the tremulous voices
of nine masquerades
from the nine villages 
of one clan - 
tumultuous
quivering 
fearfully appeasing
headed for a fiery fire
kindled by unseen
ancestors
hidden by these roots
the roots of my blood
the blood of my flesh
the flesh of my clan
anchored by niger
& her cyclic maidens...
