love’s nod rebuffed

The Bible is the Word of God
So don't you find it somewhat odd
Like Ogden Nash
God needs your cash
Before you can be overawed?...

Show me God in the here and now 
Tomorrow is too late 
Oh lama! Pulse of love follow
Bliss that doesn’t abate

So spake all hermits wise
Cease to size; vaporise
As currents within rise

Overawed
Show me God

Hush - sleep now child, all will be well
You are soul eternal
God’s love is boundless, can’t you tell
You are His miracle 

As we be breathed by God
Is heart not overawed 
Let’s give now love our nod

Just allow
Hush - sleep now

Divine Mother’s touch,
we yearn for so much;
gentle love caress,
bliss making ingress.

Bliss currents burrow,
beneath skin furrow,
enlivening form
with magnetism warm.

Soma nectar drips;
heart, with pleasure sips
elixir of God;
our soul, overawed.

Moment of death, life force sucked out,
that it’s the end, we have no doubt,
being offered no time to think,
for it’s over, in but a blink.

Having survived this happenchance,
what’s the way we now choose to dance?
Are we as yet not overawed,
that each life breath’s a gift of God?

sitting and breathing,
 I am again
 in the wonder

there are fissures
 in my night sky
 I see a skerrick
 of heaven 

flaming stones
 happen through
 etching minutes
 on small hours 

starbursts course
 onto the Milky Way,
 snow in space and
 angel dust in my eye

pieces of humanity
 drift in the iris
 overawed,
 breathing stops 

in the incredible
 astonishment
 of existence
 and the favour
 of life 

I respire
 once more...

He was a bit overawed
   his topic, too broad
A speech on 'The Universe'
   ought not to be terse

So he narrowed it down
   to his beloved hometown
He focused on New York --
   Jews and Muslims who eat pork

He cited some verses
   from the Bible and Koran
Then he threw up his hands
   Said, "I've done the best I can."

The judges cried, "Bravo!"
   You're a brilliant young man
We award you first prize:
   An autographed copy of
   ~ 'Green Eggs and Ham'...

Why Do I Love You?
©2011 C. Brent Cloyd

When I tell you that I love you
Hurriedly you ask, tell me why?
You laugh when in dismay I sigh

Dare now, listen to some reasons
Obsess and parse them if you please

I love because God gave you to me

Life is good when I see your smile
Observe your wittiness and style
Valuable are your hugs so snug
Each time you travel I feel a tug

You bring pride and make my heart dance
Overawed I choose to love, not perchance
Utmost I love because you are you....
