Eadfrith ws an English monk
into the Gospels his artistic talent was sunk
Full of abstract coils&knots
the Word itself is never lost

Premium Member A Lady of Note

An apostle of the Lord
Friend & close colleague of Paul,
Proclaiming gospels truths,was no easy call;
Junia,just a lass,Judah was her home,
A martyr for her faith
Whilst incarcerated in Rome.

An Allegation

The gospels had a readership at the time, full of implied meanings, 
Of course, what was implied then, wouldn’t be implied today 
Where would you Christians be without Mary and Joseph having sex before marriage?

Premium Member The Gospels and other writings

The Gospels

And other writings

Are narratives of

Life as seen

Through the lens of

Separation..

Includes the possibility

Of a new narrative

Of the empty nature

Of all appearances of

Separation...


Premium Member Winter

We saw the barren elm in gray despair
In wet drifting fog, the talons reaching
Nebulous vapor in the slicing air,
Then to disappear, our hearts beseeching
Every emerald leaf to cluster there:
Reappear anew, spring gospels preaching.

Sky High

Gospels in the mist of making news
With spirit agenda
Fading blues
Picking up lows
Making highs
Clapping of hands
Stomping of feet 
What is this thing
Ridding defeat
Some say holy
Others holy what
You have to feel this thing 
That's that

Premium Member Infinite Love



     Lord, you left the flock

     to seek the last, least and lost-

     that stray, lonely sheep.

     How profound your love for all

     rooted in such worth of one.

Songs

SONGS
The music that I played to sing
Made no felicity to the brains that entered
But the true life it gospels,
Is a handful to make the day of a Bigwig.

Ferry the song to your songs
Make the aroma arouse inmates of life abbey
Every song is a bicker
That biffs every ingredient of normality

The Calling of the Disciples

Dont look upon me Stork Christ, please!
Scatter! I among the many flee,
Down into the darkened leaves.

Pierced his side, my neighbor's squeak,
Skewered 'long the Holy Beak,
Glory to the chosen Meek!

Feel with relief my scaly coat,
Spared the path of which the Gospels wrote
Cast and gobbled down His throat.

There's Scarce a Word As Ominous

There's scarce a word as ominous,
As the word 'belief'
The Gospels yield terror
As oft they do relief

A damnation unremitting,
The wage of unbelief
Is to me as comforting,
As capture to the thief

Placebo

The will of God, e'er take
me to my knees,
your Spirit, so astringent
cleansing, free!

Ne'er given to imply
a church of greed
attendance, and deny
as fate takes fee!

What is the Godly why
where the decree
in Gospels wrenching cry
wanderings spree!

With Hope our mind's comply
Christ's heart receive
in apathy's restraint
placebos flee!

Customers of Greed

Some men on plenty feed,
Yet customers of greed,
The rash cankerworm breed,
Never there for your needs,
Worsening them like weeds...

I know a Shameless Steed,
Who'd never Gospels heed:
Pleased with Satan's own seed:
His best point: can minds read
Plus nice Jackets of Tweed
But paupers with Steed plead 
And shake him not like reed.

Divinity

poets, the evergreens, 
their poems, the word
gospels that didn't make
the big book like
birds on overhead wires
accidentally perched 
in the sequence of a
Beethoven symphony
but those words divine, 
while I figure out grain
on half lit wooden floors
reduced, now, to poems
in pyjamas, oh my life, 
delayed, enforcing other 
immortalities

Premium Member Music of the Night

Music of the Night

Summer nights of back porch gospels
 Choirs of crickets – cicada harmonies
Bass lines full of bull frogs croaking
 Grasshoppers toe tapping all in time
Neon rhythms of lightning bugs – 
 Cadence of Katydid’s chirping beats -  
Phantom fireflies - soul music of the night.

Premium Member Healing Hands

Vibrant palms pulsate with healing power;
current of love in constancy humming,
aligning all in its blissful shower,
magnetic pulsation enlivening;
the divine energy soul uplifting.
The shift within which thus does enable,
affirmed time and again in the gospels,
being simply getting to emptiness,
core magnetised and consciousness stable,
unifying us with the That Oneness.

Premium Member Gospels Forgotten

Virtuous within a young heart
Insight to the compassion of humble start
Radiantly portrayed by artists of all times
Goodwill to all of mankind
Indeed, the miracle within shall shine
Nazareth, was the place, that soon became divine

Mother of mankind
Bringing light to All the blind
ChRristmas the celebration of her sacrifice
HumanitY now saved, if only we learned to be kind

Singing To Get A Peace of Mind A Praise To JESUS

I'm singing to get a peace of mind

In due time, overtime, sometimes near bedtime

When all obstacles are trying to distract me

So that I cannot see the full blessings

I sing Gospels songs to relax me

Songs to Jesus above

Praises with many of Gospel songs

The atmosphere can get toxic at times

I know that I shall keep a peace of mind

My joy will not be removed

Nor disapproved.

Premium Member This Ones For the Gals

What gospels on sunday afternoon
Are four quarters male members tune
With flat screens on wall?
The chair-men want football
And shall yell like a wild baboon


Author's note: This poem was inspired by Lori Hopkin's "This ones for the guys" which is worth a good look.  My apologies to all baboons who are much gentler and finer than I.  Sad to resort to using their species as a stereotype just for the sake of a rhyme.

First Trimester

First Trimester


It always begins 
like indigestion,
slowly at first, 
then full bore.
Either way,
I need relief.

But no antacid 
can abort a poem
so I have to stop 
and take dictation. 

I’m no Matthew, Mark 
Luke or John.
They wrote the Gospels 
by Divine Inspiration.
I’m on my own. And so
when words cascade

I grab my quill.
I have no choice.
I have to stop
and take dictation.

The Lord Carried Me

My Lord is the single path in the sand
Heavy with my load

As I am broken and tired
And felt like I could no longer prevail

He is my Rock
My Strength
My Hope, My Salvation

He has guided me with wisdom
Spoken to me through the gospels
Shown me the way

The devil may try to lead me astray
But I will do as I’ve been told
as I sold my soul to him long ago

Krishna In My Dream

When ripples rested in heart......
Lullabies of morning breeze,
Took me to the garden of heaven.

Angels danced, perfumes of hidden flowers 
Fragrances to my filthy soul.
Golden chariot adorned in
Blue diamond petals stood before me 

Saw a divine being riding white horses 
Spreading blue light everywhere......
Gospels in Gita flashed in my mind for a while

When I lost myself in ecstasy,
Peacock feathers tossed neck and
Moved away from me.

Essentia Omnis

I don’t believe in Jesus,
I don’t believe in Buddha,
I don’t believe in Allah,
I don’t believe in Zeus

I don’t believe in Fairy Tales,
I don’t believe in Santa,
I don’t believe in Unicorns
I don’t believe Dr. Seuss

I don’t believe in Proverbs,
I don’t believe the Gospels,
I don’t believe in Dharma
I don’t believe their Creeds

But I do believe in Beauty,
I do believe in Truth,
I do believe in Love,
And—I do believe in me
