Short Kyrielle Poems

Why so,
           as beauty grows old
charm ,becomes a scold

Why so,
           as strength fades away
stubborn pride,remains the day...

Out of the death of crucified Christ
Has for us our redemption sufficed
Had not that man ever been born
We would not of our sins be shorn....

The time approaches,Advent is nigh
That innocent child, sent from on high,
Will to our sinful earth descend
And for our sad sins meet his end...

you haunt my dreams
and my waking hours
ever present
I need an exorcism
will that rid you
eradicate you
maybe from my mind
but not my heart...

Communing,now as

He became what we are-
      so we could be His kin

He became what we are-
      to ransom us from sin

He became what we are-
     to make us what He is...

It's raining see
Lord have mercy!

It's really a damp cold, see

The heat is drying me
Lord have mercy!

Parched and cracked skin, oh me!
Lord have mercy!...

The tragedy of war-
                   in human hearts ,lays waste
The tragedy of war-
                    truth dies,without a trace
The tragedy of war-
                  lies,in a common place...

Oil of joy
             nourish me
Oil of joy
             make praise free
Oil of joy
             filling me
Oil of joy
             healing me
Oil of joy
             shading me

See more @ John 15:11 Ps 45:7...

THERE YOU ARE !
There is a path
ready now-
Today is here
be ready dear

There is a choice,
take it now-
Hark,that voice?
Its whisper clear

There is a place,
its empty now-
earmarked for thee,
with just one vow !...

Live...as a spring day
Live ..as a blossom gay
Live.. as birds in May-
Live..as a flower's bouquet
Live..as a roundelay
Live..as children at play-
Live..as a cabaret
Live..as love's interplay
Live...as faith's endplay....

PHILEO
two 
as one-
united 
by a mixture of
blood
AGAPE
two 
as one-
in spirit
as forged by the
will
EROS
two
as one-
joined in an
embrace of the
flesh
GAMOS
two
as one-
hand-in-hand
helpmeets yoked in
love....

Feelings straight-laced
upper lip neatly in place

Emotions unreal,dated surreal

Frozen and frigid
Reserved,and so rigid

Emotions unreal,dated surreal

Haughty and huffy
Pass and stuffy

Emotions unreal,dated surreal...

We practice what we believe,
else others we deceive-
His lambs to tend
each road we wend,
His sheep to feed
helping every need.
Available for all
who hear His knock or call-
We practice what we believe,
else others we deceive....

Let us-
         draw near
Let us-
         hold dear
Let us-
         banish fear
Let us-
         be freed
Let us-
         in deed
Let us-
         meet needs
Let us-
         let love..

be our creed

Inspired by Heb 10:22-25...

A boy looked in a river free
God has been merciful to me

His shimmering twin did he see
God has been merciful to me

With life, it said “Greetings Mani” 
God has been merciful to me

I saw the saving mystery
God has been merciful to me...

furnishings make the house-
possessions make it home
possessions make the house-
family makes it home
family makes the house-
a child makes it home
children make the house-
devotion makes it home
devotion makes the house-
love furnishes a home...

Still as a summer's morn
Still as the heart..love lorn
Still as the veiled dawn-
Still as a heart that mourns
Still as a portrait drawn
Stll as memories..time-worn-
Still as ambition...indrawn
Still as a promise...forsworn
Still as an idea...inborn....

We cannot see the rays of the sun
yet its shadows,shadow everyone;
We cannot see the wind blowing free
yet we hear the rustling of a tree;
We cannot know how the Spirit moves
for with earthly eyes,we cannot see,
yet in thought,the truth,He speaks to me....

I am unique : yet still humane
I am different : and yet the same
I am male : yet, my tears hide
I am old : yet young inside
I am weak : yet am made strong
I am equal : yet complement
I am open : yet introspect
I am open-eyed : who but I
Sees life contrariwise...

MESMORISED
you were
dawn's sound to me
awakening the day

you were
musak to me
a constant love refrain

you were
pleasure to me
a facebook of delight

you were
beauty to me
as true love set me free

you are
a wife to me
forever one,are we

after style of Grace Nichols...

I am blue : but not new
I am white : sometimes bright
I am red : and then delight
I am yellow : often mellow
I am marine : but not green
I am light : but not at night
I am black : when sun ,I lack
I am grey : who but I
Sees in , both night and day

INVISIBLE TRUTHS

We cannot see the rays of the sun
yet its shadows,shadow everyone;
We cannot see the wind blowing free
yet we hear the rustling of a tree;
We cannot know how the Spirit moves

Arabic queen with beautiful eyes
green pearls making me smile
Lift your veil so i can see your lips
i am mystified by your fair skin

stop hiding away from what you want
unveil this hidden desire you have
remove that cloth and let your lips
meet with mine. My Arabic queen...
