Clear summer morning fog stings
Family silent

He dwells in her mind
He captures her feelings, dreams
He commands her thoughts...

After their patriarch died,
sea witches circled the night.
Those left behind clung to hope 
on a raft made of his bones,
until sharkness devoured the light....

“Adam boy!” came Dad’s exclamation.
“Forgetting God? How I joyously, kindly looked…
Man’s Nicene ordination, Patriarch questioned!”
Response? Son, take up vindication- why?”...

Cloud of dreams, rushing past, spiraling
Clocks ticking, time running out, soaring
Sitting in patriarch chair, reclining 
In blanket enclosure, thinking, dreaming 
Old Father Time, paradise waiting...

Head in the clouds
    Feet on the ground
  The Patriarch Jacob
    viewed angels all 'round

  You and I can do the same
    Let's not drop our sights down
  For we were chosen to be
    ~ Humanity's crown...

Rapist, raped the body 
Society, there After, raped her soul
her mind .

Deep her conscious,
proved her guilty .
forced to suicide 
Labeled her filthy ...  
that's duality 
dead & patriarch,
hypocrite society ....

Contemplate the word paterfamilias
Head of the household
Chief provider and protector
The Patriarch
Ceaseless searching
Selfless in his duty
Clothe the babes in love
The Patriarch
Understand the word paterfamilias
Discipline, respect, and sacrifice
But also
The Patriarch...

The oldest patriarch in the close family 
Wise, historic, brave and a quiet shroud of dominance
I grew, I matured, I aged
He shrunk, he slowed, he aged
Age and frailty grew:  worsening health
He held my arm as we walked along
I was now the carer
He was the one being cared for
The order changed
The positions had swopped...

I, in my excitement, 
was waiting for 
That bootstrap.

And with baseball on 
Your mind, I tried
to seduce you with 
Theater. 

Secret dressing 
Room call. Me, you
and the Priest.

I saw between
Your legs as the
Makeup faded and I 
was never
Happier.

And now, matrimony,
a patriarch and
a stained Buddha
Statue I retreat to 
The Garden....

It was the day of 
dead patriarch.  
I was fondling an echidna.

The home was 
carried away in the-
storm. Must find a broom.

On the remains- 
of a burned-out soul.
A hope sits on the altar.

A piano drenched in rain-
will not sing in the gale.
The sky will collapse- 

one day, I will bring 
back the bluebird,
for a revenge.

I was ready to board the ship
laden with terror on mortal waves.
The patriarch was dying inside
the sleeve of hidden rocks. 

Hope and death,
death and hope
flicker in dark. What if the blasts
start again in the cool air?

The planks lick the salt of earth.
Lipless mouths cannot speak.
Departure of sun was blameless,
unanswerable to human wails.

Weren’t you lucky, up to time of your blood thirsty war,
Russian sports, especially gymnasts and ballet at the fore,
Gave your presidency of Russia somewhat of a credit,
Hopefully with Western sanctions you’ll swim in debit
And, as for the Patriarch of your Russian Orthodox Church
Strange bedfellows you are, so odd,
You Putin, and your puppet Patriarch, will one day face God....

A blacksmith exploded a missile 
at  point-blank
to lower the animal
in a candid manner.
So close that truth went brute.

Nativity of a patriarch
was challenged.
The birds had migrated a long distance
to find the water.
The doors remained unlocked. 

An apology for the flesh. Bones 
had exited long back. Sermon
was writ large on the face of moon.
Night was very black.
Aphonia was the word.

Untie the knot, patriarch,
the broken kiss was
intimidating.

The backhoe picks up the
devil, it was within you
when you were casting stone
at the fear.

The pagan was covered
with leaves
raw and pailful;

belief in a thought
was not working,
think, man think.

The system,
the birth of rebirth of sorrow
was the tragedy.

The shaper,
I am, still wandering
to find the words.

Moses the Lawgiver was the most humble of men
  Abraham the Patriarch dust and ashes, and when
Other kings lolled in bed nearly half the morning
  The Psalmist, King David, rose at midnight's warning

When we think of great heroes, we imagine great might
  Battles, war and conquests, daring bravery in fights
The three heroes I've cited were all strong, it is true --
  Their greatness cloaked in humility through and through...

Paranormal peasants of a pathetic and patient percentile

    A patriarch, parallel to a peaceful partisan passage..

Meditation maliciously masks my mighty monogamous minx.
Modestly managing my machismo, mastering my maturity.

Autumn's arrival, ushering once more a door His harvest moon ? Dressed of pure..
Gold honourable's daughter her queen from Ophir virgins these, companions; entering
The King's palace glorious ? Arrayed be beauty their children; ten billion stars as she sings
Rejoiced true hearts love's patriarch; timbrels and flutes a nomad whom knew ? In Winter's
Glittering lights an infant's eyes His harps her chorus; Angels ? Divine, besought time's rosy cheeks....

Adam, consort, spouse to Eve,
to no other must he cleave.
She, created first of clay,
Adam followed the next day.

Eve, divine, celestial spark,
crowned to rule the patriarch.
Adam, gift to Eve, her mate—
he is hers to subjugate.

If you think me turned around,
you will see where truth is found.
From his rib she could not come.
Female is the primal one.

Adam did not come before,
as is told in script and lore.
Adam's form— altered and flawed;
woman is the shape of God....
