YOU

YOU


Invade my thoughts
Warm my heart
Capture the truest essence
My deepest core
Soul personified
Loves nucleus within
Helpless
Entranced by your allure
Exotic flotation
Buoyant
Symbiotic
Suspended in passionate animation
Resonate
Amorous reflection
A victim no longer
Transition of trust
Plagiaristic nature dissolves
Delicious deliverance
Awaits your arrival
Cherished manifestation
The distance between us grows more difficult each day
Painful
Unnatural
You
Beautiful completion of me
I love you

TRAVESTY

TRAVESTY


I mourn what we have become
Society
Superficial intelligence
Mocking God’s divine word
Contempt for holy law
Restitute with man’s divestiture
Our children’s creed
Illegal to bow in reverence
We call this higher learning
A travesty indeed
Supreme Court
Created by His almighty authority
Mankind
Rebellious arrogance
Heresy aggrandized
Woe to them
That spurns His commandments

SOUL STORM

SOUL STORM



Amazing storm
Awesome
Howling tempest
Erupts without warning
Elements collide in fury
A mere morsel of God’s majesty
The eye
Calm
Still
Hope resides within the destruction
My soul
Weatherman’s paradise
Climate of my being
Constant gyro of change
I seek shelter in Christ’s open arms
Safe harbor
Home

Extension of me

EXTENSION OF ME


Slowly
I come to life
Daybreak arrives
Bleary eyes
My first cup of coffee
Steaming
Liquid energy
Focused
My mind on you
The birds begin their morning serenade
In honor of the sun
I feel you
Warm
Soft
Nestled in my arms
Perfect fit
Fragrant hair
Tender lips
You
An extension of me
I bask in the bliss
Overwhelming
Sheer passion
Then reality comes crashing in
For a brief and beautiful moment in time
Distance vanished
You were here with me
I miss you so

BOHEMIAN BEACH

BOHEMIAN BEACH


May 15th, 2005
Bohemian beach
Vibrant
Alive

Tattooed bodies
Skin exposed
Individual expression
No need for clothes

Rasta music
Fills the air
Hypnotic rhythm
Melts my cares

Smiling faces everywhere

Flowers bloom
Fragrant
Sweet
Jah’s children
Fill the street

Angie’s hostel
Open doors
Beautiful freedom
Time ignores

Beatnik spirit
Salty foam
Surf oasis
That I call home

ORPHIC TRANSFORMATION

ORPHIC TRANSFORMATION



Ocular proof
Unequivocal acumen
Orphic transformation
My soul
Once alabaster
Haunted umbra
A patina of self-inflicted misery
Holy clarion
God’s invincible spirit
Hallowed salvation
At once
His blessed bastion
Enchanted embodiment
Rapture from Hells maw
Resurrected for Christ’s purpose
I go forth
Saturated by seraphic force
Unfettered by worldly chains
Inspired

POET'S HEART

POET’S HEART


Poet’s heart
Exposed
Sensitive
Vulnerable
Passionate fire rages
Soulful inferno
Inspired words
Eloquence
A gift from Him
Craft poignant calling cards
Open invitation
To the depths of my being
Focus intense
Seeking countenance
As I endure her hesitation
Unresolved puzzle
Longing for completion

My Savior
My friend

BABYLON ROARS

BABYLON ROARS


Babylon roars
Wicked
Boastful
Arrogance amplified
The fig tree stands defiant
God’s chosen tribes
Prepared to defend
Steel branches
Brace for battle
For it is written
Her leaves must fulfill their destiny
Without impedance
Wrath shall befall
Those who mean her harm

GOD'S GRACE

GOD’S GRACE


God’s grace
Disguised as dreams come true
Often misunderstood
Taken for granted
Unappreciated
His unconditional love
Bottomless
Profound
Infinite
My unworthiness
Masks a life of sin
Cleansed by His Holy blood
Saved for His purpose
Innate
I go forth
Anointed

GROWING PAINS

GROWING PAINS


Melancholy surrounds me
I ponder esoteric emotions
Gushing within
Perplexing thoughts
Assumptions unredeemed
Disoriented
Painful growth
When expectations of others
Become paramount
Valuable lessons
As I make my way to the light
