Hope’s Joy

A beautiful, 
sound of silence,
awakens me at dawn.

Purged from yesterday’s ills,
my soul prepares for a new
and pristine day…...

sun and the moon
purged in fire
radiate cool heat
enlivening form

presence witnesses
heart celebrates 
fullness in emptiness 
is the new normal...

Autumn 
Fallen leaves 
Brown and golden 
On the bare green earth,
Purged of summer's excess.

First Kiss

With a first kiss that entices aching unknowns,
My beating heart flutters, and beats into my soul.
Enveloped in joy completing me full
I am purged of my heart your lovely first kiss stole.

Another minion slew unseen.
Now visualize his soul unclean.
Above the law few it seems.
The consortium now busts at the seams.

The king of thrones has now been purged.
The fallen one you now are merged.
Your jihad since comes to an end.
Karma's law does now descend....

Our past is a highway
Flush with mile markers
That measure life travels,
Some unworthy of remembrance;

As life's pages systematically turn
The future becomes liquidated
And past increases;

Nothing is ever purged
And remains our DNA
Unless repelled by memory;
Or God rewrites your past....

A complex tapestry,an orgy of
audacious colour,beautiful,
true innocence in poses and postures
rough-hewn purged from the mind.

Beneath my bridge the troubled waters surged
with white caps brazen under dark gray skies
and baptized in the waters I was purged
as “scales of blindness” dropped from off my eyes.

Its another day
just like every other day
not a lot to say

winter snow is on the ground
wind  is blowing all around
the trees sleeping sound

There leaves are missing
there is no time for fishing
spring is worth wishing

new life will emerge
years of memories  are purged
soon the seasons merge...

A llow me to share my favorite verses from John 15

V ines have numerous branches that bear fruit
I f a branch does not bear fruit, it is lifted up, purged
N ote the trellis used to be a cross, a simple cross shaped
E ternal symbol of helping, lifting up ...by Jesus the True Vine...

Lying in the morgue aneath the dim light
Her corpse both motionless 
As left behind; pulling up unto the curb 
While decades have come and gone
Held the years when beauty fled 
A breath she flew; purged with tears 
Which held their sight 
And eager hands to turn this key....

Lying in the morgue aneath it's dim light
Her corpse, both motionless as left behind ?
Pulling up unto his curb while decades have come 
Thus then gone; held these years, when beauty fled 
A breath she flew ? Purged of tears which hold their sight... 
Climbing time's steps with, eager hands; and love, shall turn this key....

Well babe,
 we is in Purgatory being purged during this ride,, 
and the turnstiles are waiting on the other side, 
to see whether its New York or Somalia on the flip side,
or a more subtle hell in the Earth...

to slide, 
this knowledge is all that you're worth,
not again came the echo ...denied...

Fiery shafts explode in light.
Thunder shakes the black of night.

Wailing winds shriek and cry
As storm begins to fill the sky.

Clouds in chaos twist and swirl
Release their sting of icy peril.

Sea churned white and sick with foam.
Gulls in fear, no longer roam.

Earth is purged of earthly pride.
Hell's mad fury, while Heaven cried.

Cursed


Burnt red desert
Tiny slivers of light
Cacti on  parched ground

The bane of wolf 
A slow erotic urge
Cries of a man
Dark desires, needing purged

Blood moon glowing bright
Chilly frost in the air
Smell of blood and lust
Rancid , wafting and decayed hair

The cold hard reality
They all died with sin
And buried six feet under
encased forever within...

Life sucks, life is stuck
Don't be silent when you fall
It is when you can't go back
One more ing broken soul

Life swings, life is curved
Don't let illusions to come
You just want the past to be purged
Although so many things were done

Life is cheating, life is a blessing
Don’t be silent when you love 
It is when you're simply breathing
When you feel it's enough...

being (having been) drained into a different shape,
purged of files and fluids,
the vampire reflex trips.

there is thirst like a dry river bed.

*

i have evaporated where i was once sweat on your burning skin and then condensed into this fog i have been lost in.

i have threaded perfect minutes through the eyes of several pictures in my mind to keep you in a couple of hours....

When doves faltered

   and babies cried,

hence blood was shed 

   in the name of the Father,

as every mother's bosom

  was purged of her child

grown to a man, only to die

  defending his brother's religion,

whilst no human was spared the

    wrath of wartime communion amid 

    contradictions of holy water's delusions


submitted for CONTEST NO 220 any form...

waking upon the pathless path
we paused the cause to reflect
wherefrom arises the love storm 
flowing within form unchecked

emptiness draws in magnetism 
innocence in body prism is pure
bliss effervescence surges forth
within purged presence demure

as rapture suffuses every node
in heart abode we find our muse
touch kind holds love in embrace 
from our aura golden mists ooze...

Heeding the cries of the poor and needy,
Feeding all when I have nothing plenty;
Kneading evil-doers who are weedy,
Pleading to the Almighty for bounty.

Greed, the great vice, be purged out of myself,
Freed from this life of bondage so tiresome;
Reed-like may Spirit flow on giving joys. 
Creed should not my existence overcome…
