Votive Candles

They come to me in phrases
in couplets newly born

Screaming from the highest places
fitted but unworn

They come to me in dreamsleep
the moon recycled new

Time released in words immortal
—scratched into the pew

Votive

A vision, for myself,
In the moment:
Wisdom of the right female,
One to go with;

May an oath be always kept,
And held in my charge,
Magna card,
Elect;

Hands interlace,
Need pray,
Select –

Votive

I asked you for proof.
You turned it back on me,
Saying, proof is not what you need,
Nor is it mine to give.
Only that you believe,
That is all you need.

I wanted a gift 
To give my love.
He wants for nothing;
It’s merely for me,
Comfort for my disbelief.
Nothing seen, nowhere been,
Makes up for inhumation.

I asked what you learned
Beyond what’s

Reading Secret Heart

Find out Jang can one's motive,
When ones glances are furtive.
Then,Jang can reach secret heart
And bare lay it like A chart
Veiled thoughts soon to him native:
The ones you wouldn't out give...

Catch I can next man's motive
From his mood that got pensive,
From sounds suddenly plosive;
"No money for pledged votive"

Looks that towards a roof dart
You don't need to

Punishing a Defaulting Unionist

Loosen now his tight valves.
You do nothing by halves 
Not like you've bruised his calves
While he's not got what salves...

His tube deflate through valve:
With six-inch nail hit valve,
The air in tube to halve;
When cops into it delve,
Say "A case of mad valve!"

Ask me my opinion:
It's a heart cast- iron:
A daring to pinion
The arms of one's

Ever Votive

More durable, one's word
  than a powerful locomotive --

Fashions bonds of steel,
  oaths and vows, steadfast, votive

Magnolia Tree

Cupped white, dusky pink. 
Satin gills softly breathing,
Catalyst of spring.
Pert, prayerful votive lights
Opening like fledgling beaks

The Emotive Votive

sits there flickering with
immense fragrance,
light dancing amongst the
warmth of the “holidays”,
be them pine to fill the room
like a forest, be them apple &
cinnamon to announce that
fabulous fabulous Fall is here---
be them melon scents in the 
Spring/Summer or berries in
Winter, whatever your liking,
they simply coax a comfortable
notion,
a way to enhance a family affair
&
they also are there

Votive Vendor's Sylvan Share

Ancient relic your stock declare
Blanched, burnished cloak but meager fare
Your precious pulp carefully lay bare
Crescent, lobed leaves bleed a fathom or share
Nutty residual, fleeting equity you'll readily spare

Sylvan fortress; natural haven
Artfully sculpted; gratuitously graven
Fertile proprietor whose bounty is raven
Perennial bulwark; temporal sanctuary to the craven
Vaulted repository tapped by every enterprising maven

Your wavy blades insect's armored
