It’s humanity’s treason

That reaps only grief

Sheltering the infant saplings underneath,
The same soil where strangling vines sleep
What the forest grows, also reaps...

Exemplified as in a timely toot,
Enticing ones alert attention
Predetermined by emotional senses.

Misses the chance to taste its fruit 
But he who nurtures it with understanding 
Reaps a sweetness without ending

Wearing her crown of dark cascades,
Her wooden staff with a flattened blade
Burying her secrets dark and deep
Of tri-tangos and bloody reaps
Adorned in shadows with reddened glaze,
All hail,
The Queen of Spades....

Listen to poem:

the harvest a cruel person reaps
from all the seeds they sow 
all yield weeds and thorns
of guilt and revenge,
growing in a secret garden
behind walls, doors, shutters, gates
enclosed by self in iron and stone.

God’s Benefits

Frolicking flowers fantasize.
Daybreak delights dawn.
Rainwaters quench thirst.
Together man with nature merge,
   making life an adventure where
Beauty and necessity are linked.
My soul reaps God’s benefits....

Ah, I really know 
this poem
from the heart, the 
very same way I know my dear wife
in the dawning chill.

Rhyme reaps aged mind,
alliteration immerses
into the emotional sea, 
sun rays darting 
my skin, tenaciously free of boozes....

When the abyss stares at you through and through--
I'd think you'd not know--
For Time makes no sound when the sickle reaps


To hear the sickle reap

SING


Speak with firm voice to affirm best,
Ignite pure choice with vocal zest;
Now seed sure poise as intent reaps,
Glimpse beyond noise fine pulse of quest.

Feast fresh fond finds in harvest grand,
Apt sensuous grind reaps sweet dear blend
Rest heart and mind on fragrant form,
Mull joy in kind in spacious trend.

Hay is threshed by the rotor blades,
Hay along with the arms,
Legs, and heads of the milking maids,
Down on the carrion farms.

Farmer Misogynist reaps his yield—
Satan nurtured the crop—
Psychopathology wet the field—
Whing!  Now the rotor blade lops!...

Tolerance, tolerance heard from the marching throng 
Burn, attack, kill and destroy was their song
For we are right and everyone else is wrong

So how far should tolerance go
For one only reaps what one does sow
If what others want will hurt them - shouldnt I say no...

God the Artist

He who paints the sky is an artist beyond compare
His masterful strokes expand the universe
Down thru the depths of the sea
He creates...He plants...He harvests and He reaps
All to express His love and kindness within you and me
His mercy endures forever...

Love lives lovely lines loitering here
Be beyond briefly brining beer
Style smiles softly spreading steer
Choose calm cheer charming change
Rich rapture reaps range
Succinct sees strange
Live life loud
Choice clouds
Proud
