''Conviction''

Convict me,my thoughts of dark.I surrender after I have made my mark.Believe that I am
vain.I swallow up your tears of pain.Convict me,I have no soul,as my life flashes out of
control.I may never be the same again.Alone,lost,and without a friend.Convict me,put me
away.For I have nothing more to say.Convict me,the story that I have told.Now I am gone
where it is black and cold.


O Death, Where Is Your Sting

If it is the stairway to heaven, i must go.
If it is the way to Hades, I must slight slow.
Think. Ponder about the way to eternity.
Why must I lay there?
when the cross never crossed that path.
I shall go, seeking the Living water.
There I'll sing, " Death is swallow up in victory".
"O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?"

Got my wrist watch smile
And my pocket watch clock
I've got a real sun dial
And a teal weather sock

My cellphone chimes my times
My compass rolls in truck
I keep a roll of dimes
I keep them round for luck

I hold my sextant tight
I follow starlight's sprawl
I swallow up the night
I can't find time to call

No matter who I'm with
I'm rolling round the rhymes
I'm one more man of myth
Just a man of the times

Nectar

Nectar

With brittle chips
Of your  juicy lips
You embalm my mouth
With moist touch
Of your floral leaves
With the hot seal
Of the honey bee
In this smoldering
Of crispy sugary relief
Hidden in shadow of belief
The incessant would cease
If  grains of truth were to shatter 
Those roaring shock waves 
Would swallow up the chatter 
Those tense clouds
The rumbling drums
Of fierce  doubts
With  gracious
Exquisite clouts

Claiming

Claiming

In the gathering darkness
The land opened its mouth wide
To swallow all the wind
You boasted
To swallow up all the ill-gotten gains

Darkness devoured your face
And adopted your greedy soul
Dancing wildly were your limbs in the air
Like a puppet pulled by Satan

Blowing over my ears was the wind 
And your screaming
The higher the roar was
The deeper my sorrow was

It was dignity
 That was thrown into the bottom of the hell
