With Borrowed Faces in a Place

With Borrowed Faces in a Place

We are turning around with no faces, 
Just in cases.
Heaven in our places,
Just two faces. 

Screaming out so everyone hears our bases,
 We can't hide our faces.
But truth still chases
Through hidden mazes.

Slow and smoky phrases.
Now we are visible - with our borrowed faces. 
Time erases.
There are no traces.

We are turning around with no faces, 
Just in cases.
Heaven in our places,
Just two faces.

Alone Yet Visible

Alone yet Visible

Unattached out-of-the-way. Are some of us truly
lonely?

We were once alone as a child, And we played on
Our own.

Can you handle being alone? Yet visible.

Dancing in the rain with your self can be fun, Riding 
Solo isn't always negativity. 

Self-love  comes before real love.

Crying alone feels like medicine enroute towards
One's soul, invigorating and a strong sense of oneness.

Who's okay with being alone? Yet visable.

The Scripture Was Visible

For years I kept that scripture out
In plain view, in a spot
On a rounded backsplash in sight
So, I'd not God's name blot    

When I answered the business phone
At our house, free labor
Until we could afford to hire
Someone like a neighbor

At last, I got a pay increase
Double in my wages
And now I get social security
That reflects the dark ages

God has been good to me in ways
I can't truly explain
His word uplifts, inspires, directs
So, I can't complain 

The business has fed us, paid bills
Along the way some fun
We did some things others could not.
At life, we had a good run

Now that the end of life is close
I know that God can hear
I want to revere His word still
I long to go without fear

Visible

Getting hard to hide here,
Wanting to fully disappear,
Anxiety has got a chokehold,
This demon has gotten bold,
Talon's buried deep into me,
Try to run but cannot flee,
Each struggle darkness embeds,
Pulling heavy burden sleds,
Ground has turned to tar,
Unable move forward far,
Strain becomes to heavy to bare,
Chokehold's now stopped my air,
Gotten to hard to hide here,
I'll never fully disappear.

Visible iNvIsIbLe PURPOSED-

Speak the freedoms wind voices come out of heaven moving the terrain the trees been the grass Grows the air flows seldom stand still the wind invisible filled with the essence of the father hello him creator of all and everything spiritual Realm enlightened silver encapsulated golden standing triumphantly freely it walks until it expands into the land of the physicalities

Not All Wounds Are Visible

Not all wounds are visible
My people has been wounded enough
Because they keep on holding on 
To the old ways 
Till now we suffer same things from the past 
No wonder we keep suffering 
Cos the people that are meant 
To represent us 
Are the main reason we became
Economic wounded
Resources wounded
Poverty wounded
Growths wounded
Morally wounded
I wonder what more inflation
That can be inflated on us 
Cos we have seen 98 percent of pains
We are not scared of 2 more


Not all wounds are visible
Despite all hardship we pass through 
We cover our pains with smiles 
Despite all the troubles we face 
We calm ourselves down with peace
We understand the importance
To maintain love among each other 
Their is no other better way 
If we don't support one another
We can together be a blessing
To the world
Or inflate pains on ourselves
And create wounds we can't heal so quickly

Hands That Rock the Cradle

Hands that rock the cradle
Though not our adult lives
Have done a great job 
In raising us from small
And we honor her 
On her birthday 
And the Mother's Day
Now she has passed away
But still live in our thoughts
Hands that rock the cradle
Will never age
And we appreciate her super job
As a mother
We celebrate and remember her
On her Death Anniversary
The Tomb Sweeping Day
And the Ghost Festival
Although no visible connections 
Between the two worlds 
But we feel with our hearts
And love with our souls

Not Clearly Visible

8/29/21


A world caught up in being digital
And far too political
Full of all these imbeciles
Certain problems beyond clinical
Not so easily fixable
It's typical
To relate it toward something biblical
Need proof for the truth otherwise it's fictional
Therefore admissible

Far too miserable
People doing things that are pitiful

Humans still being inhospitable
Doing something unforgivable
Over reasons that are pathetic and inexplicable

At times it paid off to stand out or remain invisible
Did the most or my output was minimal
Used it for reasons that were or were not medicinal
As an individual 
They've been so quick to treat me like a criminal
Still won even when the odds were formidable
Because I knew it's always been far from predictable
Others have always been doing things that are despicable
Leaving folks in conditions that are critical
Acting like they're invincible
Yet they'll never understand the subliminal
Since they've been cynical
I'll win the war in ways that are not clearly visible

Visible In Darkness

The stars shine only in the darkness
A candle in the gloom of death
The light is cut from diamond starkness
Blossoms fade with winter's breath

So beauty leaves the world behind
Searching for a higher power
A crystal secret to unwind
A fragile heap upon a bower

The stars shall linger until dawn
A beauty of a different kind
And in the silence shadows yawn
A quiet song of mourning minds

Our hearts betray us to the madness
Of love and life and stone and grave
A fleeting shade of all our gladness
But we know the stone was rolled away

Taking Off

Taking Off!

Some time passing, wondering 
about my invisibility, 
apart from my so very demanding physicality...

From birth, as my mother reported, 
I wanted smiles, 
screamed for them, 
made other’s cheeks sore giving them...

Then learning I could cause them, create them, 
with my own being, 
making and doing, living 
into the happy, hopeful, surviving part of the room...
that is greatly all THEY want from me,
 more than my poems or drawings...
Sally, that is all that is wanted:
 YOU TO BE THERE!
You are yourself loved 
as a small, twinkling star 
  that somehow stays within hearts 
or rooms, able to be held, visible, alive,
 more than what I create, 
  which is what means my life to me...
  for which I hunger the approval
...but it is I, the small, embraceable star...
as we are each of us...for a time 
visiting our earthly haunts 
with our being’s twinkling love, 
 to the hearts who pause to see.

Cosmic Questions

Does your faucet dispense clear water
How black is black void of substance
What comes in living color on the airwaves
What comes plugged in and never sleeps

Are all things visible and invisible on TV
Is that a one eyed devil in the living room 
Does it go by the name of Satan or Lucifer 

If you genuflect and bow your heads
Will you see God or find a penny
Is that a station or sign post up ahead 
Is it painted red or something that I said
Or the twilight zone as you expected 
Any questions

Visible Problem

When you have a visible problem/everyone thinks that they can solve em/they think they know what you're going through/but none know the pain as right as you/when the problem is visible/it makes you more miserable/and people all around are just looking with a little more ridicule/why do I have this?/or can I be helped?/you say to yourself/the pity inside/makes you forget that regardless/God is still giving you health/we all have our problems/we all have our downfalls/when it can be seen/it brings out the others butthole/so my best advice is just to live and enjoy life/no matter what you're going through/there's always someone going through a little more strife

Deeply Visible Truth

This world has become so depressing 
cutting to the soul removing the rights of prayer 
everyday listening to a gestapo styled media that tells nothing but lies 
morning noon and night it speaks of nothing but misery 
Under martial law pushing restriction after restriction 
pandemic is the new scamdemic that poisons minds 
turning neighbour against neighbour removing peaceful living 
Chaos you are the virus silencing the truth from speaking 
war is declared on those whom choose to live life in faith 
this new age has put their beliefs squarely on a piece of fabric 
God be merciful to us all as many characters have become judgemental 
they talk like the voodoo doctors that support the culture of death 
twisted science has no place in society attacking our personal choice 
the past repeats itself only under different tactics 
Liberals are not Holy 
they are wolves dressed up as sheep pretending to care
this is just another exercise in abusing human rights

Long Lasting Visible Smoothness- Wbm

A girl from Tennessee admits,
her friend and her are on the fritz-
          One blonde, one brunette,
          their names? I forget!
I saw them walk with hairy pits!

Long hair of waves down to their knees,
loves Mary Jane and tokes with ease-
          Is this all the rave?
          Forgetting to shave…
"USE NAIR UNDER THERE PRETTY PLEASE!"

The Invisible Made Visible

Blood   Frogs   Life    Wild Animals
    Pestilence    Boils    Hail    Locusts
   Darkness    Smiting of the Firstborn  

    The Ten Plagues of Ancient Egypt
  Visited upon Egypt by an Invisible God
        Momentarily Become Visible

         Executing Strict Judgment
       On a Nation of Slave-owners
           and Cruel Taskmasters  

            Everyone knows:
               When Israel
           was in Egypt's Land 
           --Let My People Go!

        Who Has Paid Attention? 
      Who has Learned the Lesson? 
         God Waits and Watches...
