MONKEY ON MY BACK
MONKEY ON MY BACK
Monkey on my back
So difficult to kick
Mentally deranged
Physically sick
Remembering the pain
Lessons not in vain
Jesus Christ my friend
His sacrifice explained
Ripping rhymes of reason
Failed to catch my eye
Utter devastation
Longing just to die
Act of helpless prayer
Assuming no one cared
Saved my weary soul
Soothing sharp despair
Lightning bolt of love
Penetrates my eyes
Offering example
Salvation conquers lies
Living proof of grace
Etched upon my face
Testament unclouded
Life beyond disgrace

THINK ABOUT IT
THINK ABOUT IT
September 30th, 2005
The Washington Times reports:
“The United States and its allies must act to stop Iran’s nuclear programs---by force if necessary---because conventional diplomacy will not work”, three senior Israeli lawmakers from across the political spectrum warned yesterday. “As a last resort, they said, Israel itself would act unilaterally to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear arms.” “Israel will not live under the threat of an Iranian nuclear bomb”………
It is my express personal opinion that Russia will not allow this to happen without retaliation. They have previously defended Iran’s rights to nuclear expansion to the United Nations. China will have a major stake in such aggressive acts to protect their dire need for Middle Eastern oil for their exploding economy. India will also have a keen interest in these events for their own oil needs. The major players in the nuclear game are on alert. Israel shall soon see herself surrounded by armies again, as the book of Luke records.
” Wars and rumors of wars”…….It is written and it is happening before our eyes. As our world inches closer to global nuclear conflict, the time has come to speak out and share the truth.
“20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”
Luke 21:20-27 (King James Version)
These things must come to pass. The prophecies shall be fulfilled. I urge us all to take sincere inventory of our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The day approaches when He shall return for His 1,000 year reign. Do not be deceived by the “New Age” rhetoric and “New World Order” agendas. Our creator will soon step in to restore peace and right the wrongs of our sick societies. Now is the time for serious reflection and prayer. Heed the mounting evidence. There is no need to be afraid. Salvation is eternal and only found through the Lamb of God. The path is quite simple and pure. All we have to do is ask His forgiveness for our sins in humble appeal and acknowledge His glory as our Savior.
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:3-8 (King James Version)
I pray for all hearts and minds to be opened to these amazing events that pass before us. I believe that God wishes to have a personal relationship with all of His children, irregardless of creed or nationality. The time has come to accept His magnificent holy invitation. Jesus Christ died for each of us, to cleanse us of our sins and offer eternal life. He stands at the door and knocks with open arms. Peaceful joy awaits our acceptance.
Blessings,

SONG OF LIFE
SONG OF LIFE
Spank that bass
Pound the drums
Feel the rhythm come
Guitar screams
Soulful glow
Grateful passion flows
Musical prayer
God’s tempo
Leads me there
Static surge of music
Energy bristles
Righteous lunatic
Freak to some
I have overcome
So be it
Transformed
I admit
Revelation
Celebrate creation
Surge of power
Stronger
By the hour
Taking flight
Conquering the night
With holy might
No hesitation
Strummed
By His vibration
Infinite vacation

HEART OF A WARRIOR
HEART OF A WARRIOR
It takes a mighty effort
To venture into hell
Willing
With noble fierce intent
Seeking those who suffer
Arms open wide
Merciful
Sincere
Tremendous internal fortitude required
To overcome the nauseous stench
Squalor reeks
Rotting teeth
Urine stained skin
Filthy clothing worn for weeks
Even the strongest man shall wince
At such a wretched state
As shunned lepers of old
Our homeless suffer greatly
Ignored
Spat upon in disgust
It is there
Among the destitute
You will find Jesus
Walking in the vile stew of poverty
Calling gently
Urging blind faith of martyrdom
To serve others
Rise above the fear
As a doormat at times
The true heart of a warrior
“He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
Proverbs 14:21

Seems to me
Bob Marley said it best
“One good thing about music…. When it hits you feel no pain”
Seems to me
Our children teach us volumes
Innocent existence
In love
With the joy of living
Seems to me
Selfishness breeds resentment
To give
Is truly a gift
Seems to me
Arrogance chokes the human spirit
I believe the mighty shall fall
When they impersonate Father God
Seems to me
Lust for gold is deadly
Inner peace is priceless
Seems to me
Hypocrisy is futile
Vanity infects our fragile soul
Seems to me
Real men possess silent confidence
Strength to be sensitive
Unafraid to accept emotion
Seems to me
Clemency conquers belligerence
One act of kindness at a time
Seems to me
Christ set a perfect example
For us all to imitate
Seems to me
I grow
As I share my thoughts with you all

ANGELS
ANGELS
Zero hour
Caustic sting of eviction
Harsh reality
Unemployment’s chaperone
Hardships wild ride
Crashing down in exasperating deluge
Angels arrive
Bearing gifts of heavenly origin
Borne on wings of mercy
Compassionate anonymous friend
Delivers me from homeless distress
In the name of Jesus Christ
“YOUR RENT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY AN ANONYMOUS FRIEND”
For once I am speechless
Praise to God and His humble servants
Those who walk in holy benevolence
Overwhelming demure gratitude
I am blessed to receive
As are those who give in silence
My chalice overflows
With bottomless abundance
Favor of His promised miracles
As it is written
“For it is written, He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee”

Category Five
Sakes alive
Almighty God
Pulling out all stops
To get our vain attention
What more proof do we need?

Evidence alarming
Pangs of woe increasing

Economic disaster
Awaits the aftermath
Forever altered
Our revered life of extravagance
I tell it like it is
With dire admonition
It’s time to hit our knees
Pray for mercy from His justice
Deliver us from this darkness
That chokes our treasured nation
Judgment Day approaches
Precisely as the scriptures forewarn

Soon to take His throne
Desiring none to perish
Offering forgiveness
Everlasting life
To those who take His hand
Call His Holy name
In earnest repentance
Professing His glory
All children of Jehovah
Shall be saved

Pathetic ruin
For such beloved largesse
Tears of lament
Stain cheeks of crestfallen connoisseurs
We weep for squandered beauty
Beside her unmarked grave
Tragic demise
For such a gracious lady
Consumed by her lust for immortality
Her somber chronicle
Comes to a morbid end

33” But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.”

Ultimate demise of man
Lots cast in irrevocable suffrage
Majestic kingdom of Christ Jesus
Thousand year reign

Warms my heart with sincere enthusiasm

Distressed locked gaze
Penetrates my marrow
River of compassion wells from within
Flowing to her silent plea
We shared a numinous moment

Benevolence of God’s grace
Human urgency
Pain of nagging heartache
Gently replaced with Christian tenderness
Her sensitive kiss on my cheek
Sweet memory of our bond
Captivated by her charm

For her walls of caution to crumble
Accepting my genuine solace

Fueled by U.S Congress tax dollars
Four trillion in debt
Christmas Eve 1913
Fateful day for our country
The power to coin and issue money
Now the jurisdiction of member banks
Lady liberty
Borrows her money from discreet corporations
Plus interest
Fiscal house of cards
Built on shaky ground
Corrupt political solution
EFT Act
The debit card
Big Brothers back door key
Privacy erased in the name of national security
Open ended encumbrance
Real estate bubble
Interest only loans
Adjustable rate mortgages
Bursting in homeland catastrophe
Patriot Act
Welcomes martial law
We call it “land of the free”
I don’t think so

WELL DONE
WELL DONE
Unsullied vacation from heathen infiltration
Happy times
As children frolic in a pool of azure
Sunshine’s splashy spell
Cast upon exuberant faces
Hedonistic human nature
Retaliates in ambiguous relaxation
Persistent rhetorical blather
Fades into rumination
My bellicose mind
Drifts in superlative abeyance
Consuetude
Unclad narcissism
Prostrate dreams of magnanimous prosperity
Fleeting embellishment
Unbridled dynamism
Evaporates as water droplets on parched limestone
Languid eyes
Lurk behind subtle shades of wistful reflection
Allegorical aspirations
Enjoy freedom of fruition
Synthetic sojourn
Pragmatic destination under the circumstances
Ultimate odyssey to His glowing gaze
Inherent savoir-faire
Digested through adversity
Intrinsic naivety
Grows in peaceful accord
Unrestrained endowment
Guides my zealous quest
His esteemed words I seek
“WELL DONE MY FAITHFUL SON”

PEAU DE SOIE
PEAU DE SOIE
Exotic sound of your voice
Echoes sweetly in my ears
Mystic attraction
Enticing
Romantic
Endearing
Stunning Mademoiselle
Tender within
Resplendent without
Arduous restraints of separation
Melt with delicious thoughts of you
Dull ache of vexed desire
Rhythm of my forlorn heart
Somber cadence
Pensive beat
Lachrymose emotions
Intolerable at times
Conquer futile attempts of resignation
My sapless soul
Parched
Drought laden eidolon
I thirst for your fertile flowing spring
Exotic amulet
Harbor me from fierce lonely gales
Howling through my being
Secure shelter of your embrace
Where I long to be

THOUGHTS OF HER
THOUGHTS OF HER
My life with her
A blessing served
She made me complete
Much more than I deserved
The bottle held the upper hand
I slowly lost my way
Sickness overwhelmed me
Nothing I can say
Touch of gray accents her hair
Sexy eyes that take me elsewhere
Delicate face
Cupped in my hands
Lost dreams of romance
Promised Land
Silken skin
Exotic force
Sweet lips dissolve me
Sad remorse
Her hand in mine
Meant to be
Union divine
Extension of me
To wake up each day
With her by my side
Precious and sacred
Before I defied
She haunts me still
I miss her so
Hope that lingers
Unlikely though
New beginnings
Now I see
Just how much
She means to me
More beautiful today
Than ever before
Age has graced her
Spiritual
More
Delicate strength
Passion flows
My better half
As heaven knows
Revive the flame
Or let it be
Acceptance floats
In a turbulent sea
My heart
Hers always
In every way
Precious family
Worthy of praise
To hold her close
Heartbeat as one
I need her presence
My morning sun
Forgive the past
Trust again
Forever grateful
Sober within
My arrogance
Humbled
A child remains
Lessons learned
From lonely pain
Attempted closure
Try as I may
I can’t forget her
Maybe some day
Perhaps too late
Lonely wind blows
I love her still
Fond memories grow
These words I offer
A gift from Him
Devoted to her
Truth begins
Out on a limb
My soul exposed
Humility present
Where pride once arose
Our vows
I honor
For better or worse
Song of Solomon
Living each verse
My wife, my best friend
Night into day
Miracles happen
Please God, find a way
