Sea Banks lending water loans,
Time to time to the Sky customers,
And,
Recovering in one payment,
During monsoon times!

Told Stan I’ll be your extractor
Hooked up to the Chevy
Dragged it atop the levy
For payment Stan quickly smacked her!

 my excess
You underwrite
my greed
Each payment made
my hunger craves
And gluttoned passion

more precious than all the gold,

to heaven one is promised.

Payment

sleepless nights
with no frights

yesterday's battles
caused some rattles

payment is made
poems won't fade

so the light will always shine
making my life very fine
Form: Couplet

I

Am still here
Heaven and earth 
Negotiate custody terms


Heaven became resentful

With every payment
A part of my soul is severed

How can I go to heaven incomplete?

No Sleep

Hectic thoughts
the mind is like a mall
up and down are ideas
busy shopping
although no money 
but tears are packed in the wallet
no payment
no sleep.

Jack Jack found a limpet in his smörgåsbord
Which clung to his nose a real odd-bod
He rolled over the payment
And scratched up his fine raiment 
Cursing that damn spicy gastropod.

Premium Member payment from an angel

As I cleaned out my mother-in-law’s closet
I thought “she would never let anyone help her without payment”.
Less than five minutes later something floated down from the ceiling.
A dollar bill.

Cross of Gnosis

The debt of soul to Nebro came through the cross of gnosis
Through strength of spirit, though no mortal sacrifice could pay that debt
Christ the vine became that tree of gnosis to pay the debt
