THE SINGING OF THE HYMNS During the singing of the hymns A miracle suddenly appeared to the congregation.The church was shaken by thunder and lightning to its foundation.And the glorious voices of angels came down singing in dedication.



Praises to seven glorified saints and to the holy men in jubilationWho faithfully carried the cross upon their backs in consecration.Singing sacred chants of holy praises to the almighty in exaltation



And the seven spirits began to circle the altar seven times seven in unification.miraculously seven golden chained thuribles appeared in ornamentation for the ceremonial purification



of hot coals and hyssop incense That filled the church with the sweet fragrance. of hope and salvation

A 100 year old rosewood door. A Hundred-year-old rosewood door,
was Imported from Brazil and hung before the civil war,
according to the local folklore,
It was an impressive reddish brown wood door.
That belonged to a liquor store.
Old local newspaper clippings found on the floor
Describe the terrific uproar.
When a hundred women or more stormed the liquor store.
They became unhinged and ripped down that old eyesore.
Singing and marching no more liquor stores
no more rosewood doors.

The quilter's hand Sunflower seeds sewn into the ground
Embroidered into rows of beds of brown
Pinned down by the sun's rays
With warm golden threads
Of brilliant yellows and rosy reds
sewn by the quilter's hand
Stitch by stitch thread by thread
Fabric by fabric she layers
the fertile lands and flowing rivers
of blue, green and yellow silken threads.
weaving its way into the sprouting beds.

Pit of fire The preacher preached a fiery sermon.
Words penetrating the soul like hot coals on fire.
Branding with burning guilt across the hearts
Who seek after sinful desires.
That scratches the soul like.
prickly thorns and briars.
Pleasure and temptation conspire.
To lead you into the pit of fire.

He commands the rings of saturn The heavens open up and the lord's spirit.
came down from heaven
riding on clouds of lightning bolts
That filled the church.
with tails of shooting stars and streaks of comets
He then commanded the rings of Saturn.
to anoint the icons with brightly shining halos
He then commanded the flames from the sun.
to light the holy candles
And he commanded the rocks from the holy land.
to pile up one upon the other and placed the altar upon it
and blessed everyone from that place.

words sweetly sweep My Words sweetly sweep.
across her ear lobes.
into her canals beating against
Her tightly stretched drums
to lingering memories
of past pleasures
beyond any treasures
and never any successors
for my words are the sweetest
and the deepest that enters her canals

In the darkroom In the darkroom, she sat near the window.
Her lips pressed against the pane.
kissing glass and dreaming
of her past broken relationships
With interrupted thoughts,
Her eyes begin to cry streaks of tears.
with her lips pressed against the glass
shifting from pane to pane
across the French window

All of the past is broken

The French tragedy is the escape of fatality, not fatalism




The imagery is pristine. The poem cannot escape the one scene that you portrait. Perhaps if you engaged in the above philosophy.
I have reworked this poem and will submit it again … thank you I need all the help I can get lol.

Monocular I was standing tall, really thought I knew the score.
but when I saw you through the monocular
You gave me, sitting in his car holding.
you in his arms while smoking his Cuban cigar from afar,
I was impressed with how well this monocular works so far.
