Son Death Poems

GODS NEW ANGEL


Tonight I will kiss you,
long before you wake,
tomorrow I will miss you,
forever my heart aches.

God took you from me,
as I layed asleep,
where's my little boy?
he's where the willows weep.

May you rest forever,
the lord your soul will keep,
while the angels rock you,
into a sound and blissful sleep.

Mom

Mesh
Of my window screen
In spring
Licked from the inside by our inherited old lady

She is made of bird bones
White whiskers
Wearing her oversized fur coat in the new heat
Pulled from mothballs

Tongue of sandpaper
Scratches and tastes
I don’t know what

Bitter pollen?
Invisible scents of fellow felines
Hunting shrews from under the garden?
Or lion mares of dandelions?

Perhaps
She is merely savoring herself
In the

My Son, Far Away

My Son, Far Away

In the sunny gloom of this
ocean of burning Earth,
the scythe of time hovers like
a hungry vulture above us
men of "honorable" duty, but thankfully,
for my weary heart, this
graveyard of sand is never too far
from my son, far away.

We are but men, not Gods,
for every death my hands effect
I kneel closer to my own.
Only

The Departed Son

I love you much, 
Billy Patrick, 
And I miss you so much more! 

I hope you're resting peacefully, 
I'll see you soon at Heaven’s door!

Until we reunite, my son, 
Keep an eye from above on your so
Help him along his way!

You left him way too soon,
But that was God’s design
Even though you didn’t want it

Heavenly Exclusion

Heavenly Exclusion

“13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” John 3:13-15 NIV

Jesus On Trial Part I

The law teachers, and the elders, arrested Jesus.
They went to see the high priest whose name was Caiaphas.
Peter followed into the courtyard at a distance.
The chief priests and Sanhedrin tried to get evidence.
They looked for it in order to give a death sentence.
Two men would appear to render mendacious comments.
They said, “The temple of God

Absaloms Rebellion

Absalom’s Rebellion

After Amnon raped Tamar,
who was Absalom’s beautiful sister,
Absalom plotted to kill
His incestuous, lustful brother.
Amnon fled to Talmai 
to his mother’s father, the king.
Absalom’s rebellion may have been avoided, 
with punishment David failed to bring.

King David exiled Absalom;
had no part in the kingdom’s affairs.
This gave rise to dangerous scheming
of which David was unawares.
Absalom was returned

Ramses

While the moon shines bright o’er the Sphinx
In a land of sand so far
A pharaoh holds his dying son 
While praying to a star

He challenged the word presented him
His feelings never bent
Upon him then a curse was placed
As death to the son was sent

The first born child was marked with death
As a result of his
