To my once bright flame lovely Laura
who took the reigns of my fauna and flora
A timid fool was I
to have saluted goodbye
to her insistent Sodom and Gomorrah...

God blitzed Sodom & Gomorrah
Including fauna & flora
Putin says, "Me, too!
I am just like you
Blasting that Box of Pandora!"  

n.b.  after blowing up their home
and family, Russian troops
tell survivors that they have
been liberated from the Nazis! ...

Sodom and Gomorrah
their tale retold
Ignoring scripture
the world grown cold
Semitic factions
that seek and kill
Their hate on fire
their rage instills

Sodom and Gomorrah
two faiths subscribe
The Quran and Bible
their fate describes
Brother kills brother
the hour late
“Vengeance Is Mine”
—damnations fate

Break,break,break on the cold,gray septa
(the veil is ripped and so am I)
\Fern sundered amongst the 
Daffodils,dandelions and diadems tarnished 
With the oxidation of time and tide
That waits for no man.
\Well here I am
The littlest seraph of Sodom
(what did they do in Gomorrah?)
Blow horns and sack butts
Tan-ta-ra
The epitome of epiphanies awaits
And Gabriel - you go play in the other room....

Ten thousand chains their bayonets piercing one's flesh; embedded
Spirit's these devilish hooks bereaved it's mastery ? Gomorrah, enchanted
Of baroque embellished your melodies a millstone, pulling hearts down his barracuda
Come out of Babylon, my child: Goliath, her guilotine and all creation groans their, calvary....
Keen jaeger's armament God'speed extracting thorns entangled time; tis what she's like, entombed....

Gently moves the melody of the range,
Lost in an ambrotype that does not change. 
Each twist of the trail still brings us all here
Never to leave now but always to fear
No god of our own making or dark dreams—
Earth-bound we ride toward Gomorrah it seems.
New range is waiting – it’s just up ahead—
Let’s spur on harder before we are dead.
Oh, the time for riding now is not long—
Every man sings, but few know the song....

He apparently cried the entire winter
All alone from the inside
By the side of our lake

We didn’t know
He wept from his broken pipes

Beds couches book cases wall paintings
Picture windows filled with sunrises
Sodom and Gomorrah drown
In fountains of cold
Skirted with ceiling-high black mold

True
I had glanced back late last fall
With thirty years of memories and love

My disobedience to God answered
I suppose

We always thought there’d be one more summer....

Like Soddham&Gommorah
NYC is
Coming off the bus today 
In Brooklyn 
A man had asked me to have sex with him
Swinging his waste around so he
Can get my attention 
But I ignored Satan 
Because I was down the street singing 
JESUS praise 
NYC AND I ARE CONSTANTLY 
ON A SPIRITUAL BATTLE FEILD
With a smile on my face and Jesus on my side 
I always win
Enemies wanna see the worst out of me
But I won't let them
Because a greater power is for me
Who died on Calvary's Tree...
