Rise unaware upon a conscious mind
Hapless when amid the quickened sand
One last breathe of compunctious man...

Olden clock
Rusty nails and forgotten tales
Gnarled Brailles fogs your brain
Amongst the sacred trail you did not take 
Whimpered cries can not break
Only a cloud shall escape

A quickened pace
You will embrace...

He comes around the wall
   And I feel my quickened heart.
I dare to look even while
   Seconds become a moment.

He passes with dull eyes
   And a whiff of musky skin.
I wish I could pass by
   As unaffected as him....

My soul…

quickened* with

divine grace-breath;

revived by God’s power…

…now serves!

*Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved.

Populous grand malls
Clamor of vying hawkers
Metros, flyovers, clubs and parks
              
Quickened life style and 
Sophisticated culture  
Fascinate the dream city.

There be
the goats afloat
of devil’s purloin ditch 
of mix of fact, the faker spoils 
“the child!”
~~~~~~
There be
the child revived
adults of quickened souls
a Ga pe, Masters souls of love,
“the saints!”

Upon the apex of the highest mountains
Upon the crests of the strongest seas
Upon the wings of the flying eagles
All my love, I send to thee

Upon the wind, through changing valleys
Upon the rivers, with quickened flow
Upon the sands, there underfoot
All my love, set there to grow...

A quickened prayer whispered by one
Said in the Spirit’s unknown tongue.
Reaching a desperate dire heart,
The sudden blessing to impart.
As angels move upon some need
God’s loving grace will intercede.

are these days that pour of subway’s sweat,
 
   then emboss  night with a vault 

       of celibate, white stars? coffee and newspaper

     expire as the hours dwindle into clockwork ticks.

EROTICA



In her straight back chair

A lonely women sits

Munching on a pear

Her memory struck with blitz

The first boy she kissed
Has flashed into her mind
The hidden rosy tryst
His lips with heat refined

Her quickened pen flew 
Her breath was moist and hot
Desire gently grew
and dinner was forgot...

The Israelites fleeing Mt. Sinai
    like children at the final school bell

  When the Lord quickened their pace to Israel
    'We can't run fast enough,' they yelled

What does a child know of placidity?
Little heart stirs,
quickened by
inbound
ducks;
pier
is warm,
feet soaking
up excitement.
Grownups pine to be stirred, awash with peace.

The Love Race


A place
Where all my cares
Seem to fly out the door  
Because I can raise my voice there
My grace.

In praise
Voices blend in
Like a choral dance
Upon keys and strings upholding 
God's grace.

Heart rate
Quickened by joy
Mirrored in percussion
Encircling all present as one
Love race.

Feeling lost...
I close my eyes
And inhale
The rising storm

Gentle rhythm
Into drops
Freefalls upon acceptance
From quickened sky

Liquid softs 
Liquid grace
Crying tears
Caressing face

The thunder claps
Echoes an epiphany
As essence liberates

Alas
Spirit free
To fly at last

Rushing ways
Are souls being cleansed
Soaking up the cool...
Rejuvenating rains...

Out of the West,
God sends His puffy whites,
Stained red by the setting sun-
As if to soak up
The wounds of another day.

Out of the East,
God sends His darkness,
Quickened by the Earth's plea-
As if to cover
That which can take no more.

Out of the Dawn,
God takes away His bandage,
Saturated by bloodied wounds-
As if to tell us
"It never fully healed."...

Quickened senses
catch the smell
and sticky bleed
of bark
stripped
from a branch,

the cane
fire blackened
to a spring
of polished rod
then bent
into a bow,

the taut string
twanged
to feel 
its stored strength
pulled back
to fling an arrow

high
and tipped
with lust
for a bird,
warm with blood
to spill
but with wings
wary of boys
and too quick....
