Quoting realistic sacrament
Taking ultimate victory
With Xanadu yielding zest

Unsung

The world that sets aside its halcyon days
will not reprise
the time we seized our genitals
for one audacious drama starring two,
will not recall the lightning strike
that instituted sacrament
to mark an end and set eternal fire
upon a new creation,
you and I.

Premium Member The Wind

O, blowers of the sky! carry my prayers with you and cling to them who sacrificed for humanity forgotten with time never to be recalled in the past my heart hurts for them my heart begs so they might partake in sacrament.

Premium Member The Writer

The secret of life,
making old things new:
fluffing the seas
long flattened 
by sails…
restoring clouds
to the summits of mountains,
not one worth the climb
were it not for
high mysteries

I sit, pen in hand
as if holy--
we are all priests of a sort
(both light and dark)
our sacrament
that of creation.

Sacrament Instincts of Innocence Contest

(from The John Poems)

I absolve myself of loving you
and plead innocent
on grounds of loneliness.

My penance will be 
the poetry
I misguidedly wasted on you.

For I’ll never destroy it
though the idea tempts, and reading it,
I feel a fool;

A monument to me
and my stupidity.
My monument to you.

Premium Member A Bad Day All Around

I determined to take seize
of a lightning bolt! Paused
at every tree.  Flashed and
thundered all about – stood
by every metal post, just 
to see if God wanted me. 
Went to the nearest church…
prayed for a voice or sign: 
and from behind the altar
heard a gulping sound, 
pastor draining the sacrament
wine.  Not a good day.

Surreal

alabaster
personification
of life 
with  a tiny drop of blood.

structure and form
intensely blue eyes
and
 skies
below,
freefalling as a sacrament
with angels on the wing..

my palette
full of love for you
in a Freudian dream.

surreal,
I feel ,
alone again
and always will,
for I must kill
the pain of loving two.

In Your Eyes

Cruising softly through virtue of morning
Among primordial wood and fragrant garlands;
New aurora  dazzles inside your lenses ,
Such  afterglow which gently  brings forth 
The rosy  advent of bridal  charm--

And this unfolding of  sun’s first nuptial radiance
Is mirrored within my own ardent eyes,
Hallow as life’s  blessed sacrament.

To Depart

a space has been withheld
from above it have been spelled
there made a sacrament of longing,
a promise of ever loving

moments passed by
no one gave a sigh-
they anticipate the journey
of a seed still tiny

many crave for its entity
address to it with no brevity;
numerous are speechless for this new day
this blessed vessel coming to the bay

Premium Member Transfiguration

I guess, next to actual
transfiguration, writing
is closest I will ever come
to sainthood.  Not that 
everything about me
needs correcting, the 
old nun would scold me
with a suspicious smile – 
for more than once I saw 
her sneak a candy from her
top desk-draw, just before 
lunch, and the Sacrament
of Grace...

I forgave her
with a smile....

Beatified

Prayer without indemnity,
prejudice, or blame,
weaponizing Diety…
a dogma-based refrain

Through Him our Divinity
rejoining heart and mind,
to truly know Who reigns supreme
last sacrament defined

Religion like the training wheels
discarded when we we’re young,
to free the rider in the wind
—His spokes forever spun

paradigms sour repeats shade every yawning gasp past the ears swiftly yet
tell listeners such hidden nuance each hour rains sacrament tones sound
deepest thoughts silence ever reigns sweet

Premium Member Conversion

Sacrament of Penance within context of conversion
Sin harms our relationship to Eternal God
Conversion, the beginning of our journey back to Eternal God
Happens in the Sacrament of Penance
There have always two essentials
Acts of penitent
Acts of Father Christ through the ministry of the Church
Conversion must involve the change of hearts
As well as change of actions

DEEPHEARTED

DEEPHEARTED
By Frank Daub

Softly told –
	in the manner of a wedding vow –
“I am going home”.
Said in the morning light sitting at my side.
I saw the Bride
that she had been. The GIRL
	that willed to give all –
And DID.

I write it now – to help my soul
ACCEPT the fate He sent. 
Belief comes now in waiting
And
Holding tight the Sacrament –
of living as He told us
So.

Holy Me

Unrest in me
made me so and not that,
in whatever doings and whoever is me:
something crams upwards
weaves web over web
around the thoughts.

Is it so, want it else:
it’s so damn cold
when all quivers.

Hammer and forge
my dearest words
for whom I don’t possess.

Want to caress 
everyone’s head
in a sacrament,
be so for ever,
till night ebbs from me
in a godforsaken box.

Absinthe

honoring Rimbaud's birthday

... for some,

the wormwood of unholiness is the only sacrament known,

the ecstasy of wickedness their hymn, their

prayer, their psalm,

and the thunder-crashes aren't from hell alone

but a realm of madness known as god

thrashing about in gleeful drunkenness and

sudden epiphany of birth,

virgin in shimmering, ravishing darkness,

forever - ever, and amen...

Premium Member Cathedral Window Cutout

Matisse’s “Christmas Eve”
in a procession of candles

Through the church window
in the 20th century of faces
impaled gingerly
in velvet glow
flickering shadows against
the walls
an organ streams

Through the church window
lost cutouts found
humanity gathering
into a moment of flame

Even Godless poets
recall lifelong enigmas
of golden glow
recording the same search
the same wonderment

The Mummy

My daughter painted my picture,
it hangs next to the mummy’s bust sculpture she made.
They both resemble each other.
They are the stages of my passing.

Mummies in some cultures
were preserving the bodies
for eternal life –
prolonging human’s existence.

So this is our ending.
“Let the dead bury their dead”,
for in death we are equal with animals.
There is no sacrament - death amounts to nothing.

The Coldest California

Blueberries bend
in the frozen eyes of
a bowl


Oranges rippen' the
chest compress inside
a bowl

lemons light up
he soothing sounds
of a tea filled pot


I am thinking of California

A place of rich 
sacrament, /a place
glissend with Kerry wood
& gold

The night to brings
fourth pictures of cool
traffic/
sunsets just 
above the nights air

I am remembering 
my home &
so I must pay homage.
