Surety Poems

I chase you through the alleys of my mind
Your quickened steps ensure you're out of reach
My tears collect then run much like my feet
You cannot see or hear their silent speech

And in the shadows of forgotten dreams
I strain to see...Read More

“I need to be inside you” . . .

His voice echoed like the psalms in my mind
And I could not shake the feeling of dread—
The dread of leaving this Prison of Plot—
And the ensured surety that we would no longer...Read More

As sure as this morning 
I saw the sun
I knew right then
You were the one. 

How could I question this surety?
When the sun is displayed so plainly to me?

For as long as it shines, blinding my eyes
I know that forever...Read More

Stagnant water in a well
Produces a truly unpleasant smell,
Or so I have heard tell.

Every morning one may hear the sound
Of many noises around
Whose causes can be found.

If you eat in too much haste,
Your food may lose its taste,
And your preparation...Read More

bare ...
she stood blinking,
arms out like a crooked crucifix,
dangling fingers, as if waiting for a ring ...

frozen flakes fell fat, and fatter,
from what was once scorched azure breath -
you'd think an eyelash could carry such burden,
yet one Chantilly crystal proved...Read More

To come from faith is a trap
snares woven between the words
took to heart by the sincere
before the mind is lost to fear

there is no telling where a life ends
from conception to the last descent
into madness without escape
surety set against all...Read More

To my son’s….
The world will tell you to be so many things.
Your boys want to hang with a guy so fly
      he drips women off with casual disregard.
Media will tell you women want a man...Read More

An oppressive weight that balances,

~wonderful faces, beautiful places,
All anchored in glory;
Beautiful God Glory Hallehulia…
So tell the story,
Of my Lord the Savior;
In whom I trust and adore
As I
Oh I
I rest in His arms.
We all should rest in His arms
As we all rest in His arms

The moon, a rubber ball of dirty white,
Has rolled behind some filthy clouds tonight,
Blots of grubby grey that might explain
The weather bureau's surety of rain,
And when the rain arrives, in pelting fits,
The moon, offended by its presence, promptly quits,
To leave...Read More

Full of compassion’s bounty
Sacrifice-sincerity
For my soul’s eternity

Instant Change of Life.

Strange how life can change so quickly
In the mere blink of an eye
One moment you dwell in the dark cold gutter
The next your flying joyfully  through the sky
And almost touch the sun
Your bed a bed of...Read More

Our souls have met like this before...
It is a familiar embrace of warm belonging
Our hands fold together 
Like a prophecy coming to pass
Like the moon completing its dance
Accepting the smiling sun...


I kiss away your heartache 
You kiss away my fears
Trusting...Read More

Smoke darkened glass
shone while revealing
a secret, perhaps truth
whose imagination speaks?
Decompressed thoughts evaporate
onslaught of pixilated moments
cats image, mothers face
forms informing 
standards fly with surety
blazoning arms,
lion rampant
another time
fascination ensues...

I wept today, longing surfaced beneath my breath
deepened movement surreptitiously crept forward
until it could no more be ignored or feign sleep
suppressed light seeking harmony dared to tread

Elevated insight
So clear
Bright surety

Releasing the grasp of kaleidoscopic obscurity
Accepting any false judgments

Microscopic impurities

They are just contemporary deceits
Don't let them become your present day defeats
Don't feel compelled to let your life be kept discreet

You have the power to disagree 
combating the...Read More

     My eyes look for you ...
My heart bleeds the truth,
     My spirit enters your soul completely.

Where do I end and you begin?

I believe that an act of cruelty
Is to take away a child's security
So let it be said
When two people wed
Make sure it's a certain surety

I feel your anxious pivot to create
We flow the same irresolute way,
Often in raging storms
And sometimes in playful gallops
We see ahead 
That path onto the light of laughs
I am in awe of your effort to get there
I am in awe...Read More

It is decidedly so,
That I shall go where you go
And in our journeys
I shall never let my love tire
The stars deem it worthy
Your fire is my truest desire

For this is decidedly so
And nobody will quite understand or completely know
That I...Read More

When but a child the world seems set in stone.
Too soon this cozy surety fades and dies;  
And verities, like passing clouds, are flown, 
Confusing right with wrong and truth with lies:

The ground’s no longer firm beneath our feet....Read More

'Twas the night before Christmas and I was awed by this pleasant sight:
JOY blurted mirth of blissful delight
Cheering HOPE to spread good wishes’ light
While FAITH props merriment upon truth-insight
Inviting PEACE to march with them upward victory-height!

‘Twas the night before Christmas...Read More
