Short Wesley Poems

A
walk
with God
alongside-
licensed to laughter
at life's impossibilities


Inspired by a line from  a Charles Wesley hymn...

High above man,

God
looks down.

Awaiting mans decision; as man awaits 
God's reply.

Not sure they stay their course.

George Wesley Bellows a painting man
a leader of the genre  'Ashcan'
All life was at the end of his pen

The insecure man
approaches that which he touches
like it is a d*ck.

Fragile they fall to their knees.

You and your homeboy.

If I could dream of a better purpose-seeing how the wisteria works wonders, by the power of this cauldron, manifesting the the thoughts of sage for lord and lady with potato and carrots.

I stretch my hands

as a thousand tongues

with
      the angels  sing
                              
of
love
        divine

oh
    can it be

a means of grace
                        to bring

a life of faith

            all mine...

Call
me:
do not just think of me!
Write me:
do you think of me?!

Along the forget me nots,
is friendship,
a friendship:
that they once knew.

She watches romantic pornographic videos
and feels guilty, 
over the phone.

Andrew Wesley Legan does not publish poems online. Just responding here to a comment, because I don't publish poems and would not like to be associated with someone else's poetry... There are multiple Andrew Legan on internet. If I published poems they would be about cool animals!...

Watching the extinction
of the paleo
as the death
calls
them
to the crank lab or product
or the prison and psych-ward.

Those that are still here
await Jeff Foxworthy
for exploitative representation
finding
Dale on the the King of the Hill
solace.

erotic passion lights the fuse,
the ration me imbues,
and on and on till daylight,
when stagger home i do,
exhausted but alive,
in every sensual vibe,
'how could you,'
says uncle Clive,
so i says "shuddup" too....

of:  'Love filled dreams' Elizabeth Wesley

great hot poetry ......Don...

Turning from Christ

to disbelief;

as Satan confronts

the death

and hell…


Its expression

withering

the self and

its culture.


The suicidal genocide—

a gesture

in guilt's name

for stewardship's misdeeds:


Evil

in its self

Judgement.

His teaching gave so many a start

'Filling space in a beautiful way'
In Georgia's heart,his words did stay

Feeling
the immense emotion,
you know the one 
that emphasized: your pain.

Manipulate it
in sado-masochism
as the mutual 'love' slaves
give and take
each-other to\for their satisfaction.

Ball in mouth, hanging,
as the victory swings
in lustful devotion
upon the church of satan's alter.

Adam where are you?
I am here among the trees
in a compromised position,
we are joined by the D.A. 
in hopes to make a deal;
if not a defense.
It was no doubt the third party
that ascertained the strife
of bad decision
onto my female companion,
whom in turn set me up,
for the great tumultuous event.

how much suffering, do i need,
for my grasping, nastiness unsung,
how much aching payback, 4 word n deed,
before me spirit's, sprung,

escaping from this pathetic weed,
a hell on earth is yet decreed,
suffering now getting up to speed,
if i preferred, be hung:)

song of one bung lung is sung....

thank you Elizabeth Wesley,
" Emptiness of Living,".... Don...

The dervish whirls—
deserts fable
over candles,
atop mantle fires,
wings for life.

Salient, a moth
labors over no lands,
exists in The Great,
extends her wings 
to The Wide,
middle-age night

to flutter near the floor,
flit in the rafters—
a lamp,
her vessel for ballet
on night’s broken stage.

We were intimidated by stone man
Wondering why he was genuflecting
We reflected on it as only adults can do
Wesley walked over to touch him and say “hi”.

They had an intense conversation, this toddler and this statue.
We were stunned, realizing Wesley saw a human being
Whereas we had seen stone, not recognizing his humanness.
We all walked over then, grateful a child lead us....

Did Appear A Deer

Remember when there did appear a deer,
Who was so sincere and without any fear,
Rubbed against post;
Never brag or boast;
We had loved near forever year after year.

Sang I, the Lord of Sea and Sky by Schutte
along with Will You Come and Follow Me by
Hooker and Love Divine  All Love Excelling
by Wesley. Music adds so much to the church
and brings it to life.

They need coxing
as natural man hides
seemingly
in his mind
where others can see.

The glance -
a spell
of manipulative domination
upon themselves
as I pounce.

Never was I natural,
never did I care
to be,
looking at those in natural law
and those trying to be
unnatural...

Supernatural man looks down on man, from the sky, and sees 
only their theosophy.

Let us escape our space and time
Let mine go forward and yours unwind
And let us meet on even plain
Just for a day each others claim
Before the dawn we both awake
Aware we only have this date
To you I give what I promised death
From earthly being all I have left
The last act of love given this breath
A gift for your existence and poetrys depth

Elizabeth Wesley.)...
