That sheepish smile
disarming a gruff poet
coyly offer hope

my Bridgewater seraphim
kick back wine like a sailor

the cherubim

while seraphim murmurs song

 and the Winds Weep to the Sacred Flow,
 and Choirs of Seraphim Set Us Free
 Into the Wings Of Eternity...

near the throne of God
heaven’s Seraphim angels
crying,  “ holy  Lord”
rid    undesirable  weeds
tears  spring   nurturing garden

Heavenly being hovering near
Appear near this fading life
Hold me dear and secure on this long
Distance trip, powered by Light
Cross over gently, hold tight...

Longing to be 
In the company of angels
Has overwhelmed me with
Sadness
So deep
Sometimes there is anger
That makes me
Seethe
So beaten down by
Seraphim wings
I cannot
Breathe...

Parallel smoky white lines carve paths as
passage marked 'cross cobalt sky;
homeward-bound seraphim.

Jesus Enjoyed

Jesus sinners always enjoyed saving them,
Even when times were turbulent or grim;
Cautious at times,
While writing rhymes;
He supped with friend who was a seraphim.

To look 
upon His face, 
hold in my craving arms, 
seek his divine grace and favor.
I'd spread my wings and sing a Cherub hymn. 
The Seraphim angels' harps would 
strum melodies paying
homage to our 
God's son.

angels
                 celestial, glorious
        singing, guarding, ascending
  seraphim, messengers, jinns, villians
     tormenting, possessing, tempting
               hideous, malevolent
                        demons

little girl who rose up
above poverty
above ignorance
above forced marriage

little girl who rose up
who grew up
who became a woman
who became my seraphim

my seraphim who looked down
my seraphim who descended
my seraphim who took pity
and married me…...

He spreads his lordly cape to slow his descent, gloved talons softly gripping metal throne, his obsidian pallium opulent and ominous. Empowered by wonder and awe, I swallow fear, holding the chthonic messenger’s gaze

Curiosity binds us
The vigilant Seraphim turns...

Saints on a pristine path to nowhere
And no one calls their names
A collective group of seraphim
On a glory ride to fame
And when the arrows exit quivers 
And their hearts they turn to stone
The saints, they are but dead and faceless
As Heaven is no longer home...

Midnight
is the celestial healing time
where built up stress will disappear
as if it were evaporated water
as seraphim bend moonlight,
shining its rays down upon sleeping denizens
through their windows, purifying their burdens
so every entity is strong enough
to get through the day...

Orange blossom scents fill this space.
A flower and rose on the days of magic.
The infinite is bitten by the green sea.
The finger is wrapped in yellow.
Efforts are required to pray.
The way our faces looked at the well.
sanctity of seraphim.
We find pure passion in another world....

The truth in translation
knowledge distraught …
He swept through the cosmos
a truant uncaught
His wings never clipped
his sails never trimmed
He flew through tomorrow
a new Seraphim
Those who were watching
their eyes disbelieve
Unburdened by dogma
—transcendence achieved

Scented scarlet seraphim
on the scarves
you wear for him
silken sounds
sweet sussurations
peeling layers off sensations
come to see
the sails in line
'oer the ocean
valentine
Pale perfume you wore to be
someone young
and wild and free
to shed the silver plated skin
that the world
has wrapped you in....

Azure waves roll,
across golden fields,
Where he lies waiting,
for the Heartland-
Heavens,to blanket him
with bliss.

Floating down a river 
of quite bronze earth
Guided by hands,
of Iowan seraphim.

He dreams of sacred 
Alaska, 
heavenly
technicolor 
light shows,
and ancient tundra
not yet disturbed....

What stirs within the buried heart,
what lies beneath the whim

What Seraphim have yet to pray,
 what sinners yet to sin

What hides within those thoughts that stray,
what leaf remains unturned

What stirs within the buried heart,
what voice unclaimed—unheard

I am the scribe who spends my day fixing angles to a pin
yet in night dreams I spill my seed despoiling Seraphim.
I am the pilot holding fast to a course that cannot win
I am the finger on the trigger to loose the dread Sarin
but through it all I only feel this icy cold within
and pride in duty honoured, is this my greatest sin?...

You wear luck
Like you were born to it
Bred to it
Like pink skin over old scars
New spanking suits on old men
This kalaidescope of favor
Falls directly into your lap
Yet
When your luck runs out
You scream and shout to the angels
Now you are in a place
Where cherubim and seraphim turn a
Deaf ear
You are forever bound to a solitary
Fortune...

Tired cold tar stained fingers,
cigarette of mostly ash,
the fog of ancient thoughts hang,
Eyes closed dreamless void.

The radio hum of white noise,
whispers like seraphim,
tapped ashes and empty prayers.
Dissolving to heaven. 

"Awaken you tired servant, 
can you spare a light for me?"
Eyes closed to flickering flames,
speaking to nothing....
