You hold my hand
aware of capacity
for bonding
hands can do that
fingers fond conduits
palms firm suctions
of secure presence
hands yielding
while they also solidify
the mystery of divine
grasp – adhesive nature
of caring touch, giving
while receiving
taking possession with
tender balance of freedom
Love need never hurry
ageless and timeless
the Royal Flush of Hearts
The Temperate Climes
the temperate climes arriving soon
taking possession of what will be hewn
as untrimmed flora will be heaven bound
with new seeds of love the earth will be crowned
rain from the skies will bless holy ground
to lease for awhile and wait while they’re housed
natures complexion is no longer roused
the flowers and plants conjoing as one
continuing life as once there was none
the bracts are mature and forming a bud
the color of gold released from the mud
and bright is the beauty that rests in the shade
and I compare thee as creation made
the external beauty for all to see
a daisy enhanced awaiting a bee

Evil is getting away with mass genocide
almost like all good is disappearing from the face of the planet
replaced by greed at the helm
Taking possession they are so blind all they think of me me me
as long as they are happy some believe in the law of the beast
not God as he condemns killing on stone cold to the Word
a third of the stars are being swept away innocent children of God
the stars have spoken of this when the dragon begins fighting for reign over man
the time of our Lord Almighty Father is coming close at hand
as stated in revelations this is his jubilee year 5777 marked on His script
chaos is coming to the non believers repent we may not know the hour
or time I think it is seven years after the temple is born
reading back to ancient Babylon
lillith claims souls that sacrifice the innocent at the altar of injustices
a potent indication
of residual energy
slowly taking possession
of my sanity
I feel it manipulate
each experience
toying with my fate
confirming its existence
I can only surmise
it's a malicious shadow
which somehow escaped demise
when yesterday had to go
some spiritual attachment
of which I'm unaware
I must force it to repent
so I can spiritually repair
Lost in shadows dwindling inside
Tumbling motions of dancing verbs
confide
Denied simple simplistic logical
understanding
Demanding guilt taking possession my
soul branding
Questions thoughts dreams lies and
defeat
Packed away in my colorless eyes all nice
and neat
And so I emplore ....when can I breath
again
Open that door and see my friend
Library time tick tocks like a flight of stairs
In silence the deafening screams and
sudden blank stairs
The way they look at me empty of song
Speaking to me teaching me I was wrong
J.Robbins
Sometimes the heart does
things with reason, that reason
itself can't understand
Like taking possession of
emotions that's past reach with
bare hands
Actions show no remorse.
However people's actions show
how much integrity they truly
posses.
Actions can cause distance,
distance causes thoughts,
Thoughts can generate tension
that builds up in us, until finally
it explodes.
Some act before we think
This is when laughter turns
weak.
So laughing is just pain, one in
which we can't escape.
