Short Inviolable Poems

Her skin, pale and fragile
as bone china
protected by a heart
inviolable, gilded threads
weft and warp cloth-of-gold
that flys pennoned from her
shoulders, red hair burning
brighter as she competes
with the setting sun...

collanades
   of clouds
    black
   broken 
   reeds,
exhausted
wells, 
       empty
        cisterns,
forbidden
fearful
failed
       forgetful
          undone-
unheard-
     infrequent
     inviolable
reminescent-
now
departed...

There is a forestland so secretive
lions live there that no one has seen
snakes live there that are so venomous
angels live there who are so holy
so remote it is yet it is so near
every person with an inviolable plot
but even owners know not its inhabitants
strange indeed but true...

sun gently breaks hymen
of inviolable night,
flooding silken sheets
of sky
with bleeding red.

december morning's ample bosom 
spills forth crisp coolness,
bracing me 
with a discovery so new.
my fingers run 
like wind through leaves
as i marvel at the wonder of you.

Nothing was beholden.
Colony counts were perfect.
You were never guaranteed and exit.

I am stalked by lips 
of a black tulip holding
a moonbeam.

The world moves
wearing a shell of emptiness
in a cosmos, inviolable.

Aggrandizement
beyond the bluffing.
More beliefs and many withdrawls.

You will not kill me ?
Half-way to soothing words
of ecstasy.

Innocent weavers
Sat still mourning –
The siren heralded
At midnight
The emergency swords in the rafter
Like a lone early morning cock.

The forest was a terror spot 
Helter-skelter in blood-discolouration
Marking a nest of the free?
Terror & anger clashed
Again & again
In man rearing the seeds of the night:
Shrewd pebbles of inviolable intents
And mutilated feathers in a battered nest!...

Left a heavenly kingdom
To live on earth as a humble servant
He was obedient unto death
Even the death of the cross
Devoted blessed kind
Perfect and awesome sacrifice of love
Divine Glorious Hallowed Dedicated Holy
Worthy of infinite Honor and Praise
Belongs to Him who is Inviolable
Reverence and respect due Him
Who is soon to come
With agape love for all humanity
Reverence and bow down before
The Son Of Man...
