A vicar once said to a nun
Why don’t you and me have some fun
She yawned and said, “Look,
I’ve got the good book,
So, just let me know when you're done.”

Shiny bright locks and all dressed in white.
Mother of Pearl prayer book,
Her hands, folded in prayer.
Such innocence,she is,Christ's delight...
Walks serenely up incense-scented stairs.
Music in Latin, fills the air.
Ave Maria!

sky tattooed
all over with autumn’s scent,
tokens of numbness
spread along my heartbeats,
ashes growing wild
around what used to be my soul,
crows waiting for my dreams
to become their holy communion,
and beyond all this, me,
heading towards a one hundred years sleep,
after pricking my fingers in your thorny self…...

The vibes we ride
the highs, the lows
conversations with
conclusive innuendos
Hypotheticals and 
experiments
we engage in
acrobatics of
noun and verb duels
Your en garde
I fall hard
Butter knife
tongues
Eucharistic bread
the uncovering
of your body
unravels my
mentality
Intoxicatingly
sipping your
Lord have mercies
Amen and Amen...

World at stage in ones act
infectious comedy naming facts
trapped in mirror of shadows
cannot escape from living arrows
words that hide reality
rising above facts duality
devotion that gives all
identify pursuing call
love’s meaning as a thing
that keeps back nothing
eternal promised union
virtues holy communion
subtle melodies refrain
loving texture in time...

Because of mosque kettles,
Mama stay because
Grammar loves you, 
I will sell for a billion trillion dealion peppers
Tricked for a thousand years, 
Ask Babangida or Buhari,
They dine at the throne and palace,
While we pay subservience at their feet,
We went in with tools,
Came out with rules
With His sons,
Drank holy communion,
Which healed them of Corona Virus...

Son! You shall bear `Dominion`
The Best of Names ``if you asked my opinion 
For loudly announcing Christ’s Religion,
Besides being militarily overwhelming-A legion 
Never, therefore, to be sliced like Onion...

And your birth was our anxious ambition,
By this energized with Holy Communion...
 
Good Son already you are dominion
And shall Demons warring arms often pinion!...

Wine, bread, bitter herbs
Blood, body, sin, suffering
This is Passover
in old and new Testaments
Love means Sacrifice
(c)Anil Deo, 11 April 2017


Shalom shalom, Happy Passover to all Jews and Christians. During Passover Jesus instituted the Holy Communion summed up in "unleavened bread & wine."
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM: "Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim." Ps 122:6...

Tonight I drink the ruby wine
of God’s sublime name
my rosewood mala dangling
alluringly over my fingers
each bead calling Him
each sip of His precious
name a holy grail
a divine elixir
brewed in Heaven’s
vineyard


Drunk on a love
that the world can never
understand
I sing His name
and dance through the
moonlit streets  
with Ramakrishna, Mira Bai
and all the crazy
God intoxicated Saints...

Under the golden sun of Holy Ghost
First Holy Communion little girl cursed
With braces in a pure white dress in lace
Blessed with cherry dimples so simple
In church then off to the ice cream parlor
Chocolate on a cone of course with sprinkles
Blonde hair bouncing on a spring of curls
Jumping for joy with her treat melting  
All over the new white gown and veil 
What could be more perfect
Why a wedding veil you silly person...

The weather is getting colder,
it's tea and sweater season.
I'm getting better and bolder,
I have learnt some real lessons:
The opposite of coldness is boldness,
singles' control of inner chemistry.
Sex is not just a source of sweetness...
it can turn a hero to a living history.
Couples can consume holy communion,
a bed undefiled harbours honour.
Singles should avoid defiling dominion...
Use tea and blanket as your armour....

It is silent
Neon sulphuric mustard gas
It is the snare
Spilling poison, dropped chalice
You are the cupbearer
Drinking your holy communion
From ashes to rubble

I remember you
The smiling tiger
Roaring to the pounce
Fiercely tugging at life caught
Between your polished claws
Until the wall fell and celebration
We were selling bricks in bin liners

You can get up off your knees now
The table would have killed you anyway....

Lilies of lucent light,
single file walking along
the cloudless pathway of
the songbirds' garden kingdom.

How fair the child lilies,
a gathering of the guiltless,
in snow-white
First Holy Communion dresses
with lacy veils.
Seven year old springtime
girls with pearly rosaries,
betrothed to the benevolent
Lord in spirit.

They receive the purity of
the Communion wafer
representing His covenant,
they are His lilies of lucent light. ~...
