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

SPIDERS WEB


SPIDERS WEB


Web of the cunning ground spider
Ingenious spun survival
Drops of life sustaining dew
Gathered incognito
Inconspicuous stealth
Self sufficient design
Master of covert warfare
God’s majestic creature
Unique
Intricate
Marvel of divine handiwork
Nature’s illustration for mankind to observe
Inherent instinct
Extraordinary patience
Reaps daily dividends
In silent cohabitation

SEEMS TO ME


SEEMS TO ME


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”

Luke 4:10

CHOSEN TRIBE


CHOSEN TRIBE


These words
Not meant to appease
Merely to stimulate thought
Prejudiced perceptions
Offensive reactions
Go in peace my brother
I wish you well
As you move along
White hot manifestation
Searing
Singed retina of precise vision
Proverbial message flowing
GOD IS LOVE
Snarling dogs of diabolic dominion
Roaring inward riot
Quelled by soothing waters
Stoic sickness
Healed with Holy Grace
Tribe of His chosen children
From all walks of life
Muslim, Jew, Gentile
All kin within
Anointed
Sanctified
Appointment by surrender
Sweet salvation
Swirling strength of Jesus Christ
Infectious
Available to all


“Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.”

BACK IN THE DAY



BACK IN THE DAY


Thick mucous film
Lingers gently on my taste buds
Creamy clam chowder
Memory trigger
Instant reflection
In a brilliant flash
My mind reels in time
1978
Distress was obsolete
Dominant high priority
Cash to buy the beer
Carefree days
Drunken nights
Exotic lewd encounters
Girls weren’t gross after all
Driving way too fast
Music filled my soul
Loud as I could stand it
Bad Company
Kansas
Johnny Winter
Grand Funk Railroad
Frisbee underneath my car seat
Grass wasn’t green
And smelled of burning hay
Best friends with Captain Zigzag
Stems and seeds sucked
Chasing the red dragon
Then praying not to catch him
Fist fights
Macho stupidity
Warp speed existence
Amazed that I survived
Life
Back in the day

EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW


EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW


Category Five
Sakes alive
Almighty God
Pulling out all stops
To get our vain attention
What more proof do we need?
For skeptics to take heed
Evidence alarming
Pangs of woe increasing
The chosen day comes quickly
“Like a thief in the night”
When every knee shall bow
In humble retribution
Penance for our wretched ways
My words of caution echo
With hopes of saving souls
In witness to His glory
Awe-inspiring grace
At hand
For all who seek His mercy


“For it is written, as I live, saith The Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”

Romans 14:11

WRATH OF GOD


WRATH OF GOD

Observe in silent awe
Bewildering magnitude
God’s awesome power
Unleashed in gales of September fury
Churning tempest
Gathering force of annihilation
We brace in trembling fear
Another crippling blow
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
Christ the King
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


“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”

John 3:16

WITHERED ROSE



Withered rose
Austere
Lifeless bloom
Dangles torpidly
From swarthy blighted vine
Once pristine in her glory
Dignified
Filled with passion
Her haggard petals
Lay wasted
On barren conquered soil
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


“And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

Acknowledge no substitution for truth

My heart bleeds
As society shuns the indigent
Ignorant malfeasance
Eyewitness to extreme impecunious existence
Quagmire of deepest poverty
Horrible lack of basic human sustenance

Benchmark in Christ’s advocacy
Give without hesitation
My last dime
My time
My undivided attention
To those who need it more
No fear of financial consequence
Blessings beyond comprehension

Without social restraint
Self sacrifice
In the name of Jesus
Urgent fervent goal
To admonish
Bring glaring light
Illuminate their plight
Homeless multitude
Desperately seeking benevolence
Genial kindness
Brotherhood
Fellowship
One soul at a time



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.”

THOUSAND YEAR REIGN


THOUSAND YEAR REIGN



Toll of a silent bell
Startling resonate reverberation
Hour of judgment approaches
Prophetic sluices unsealed
Assurgent flood of tribunal penance
Prepared for streets of shame
Iniquity shall perish
In the Valley of Megiddo
Condemned pawns of Satan
Heedless to fatidic horsemen
Threshing blades of retribution
Lamb of God triumphant
Chaff falls in vanquished dust
Beneath His holy feet
Gleaming moment of ascendancy
As scriptures have foretold
In an incredible instant
Blood of saints avenged
Ultimate demise of man
Lots cast in irrevocable suffrage
Majestic kingdom of Christ Jesus
Thousand year reign
Soon to be ordained
In glory indescribable


“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”

Insatiable greed
Greases skids of acquiescence

Culmination of global intimidation
Cyber currency
Visions of a cashless society
Borne on wings of malevolence
Mark of the beast
One of many
Microchip of financial doom
Requires eternal damnation
Precipitous price to buy and sell
Survival
Reliant upon economic soul sacrifice
In a mindless state of brainwashed domination
Diabolical plan of Beelzebub
Achieves fruition
As blinded minions follow
Oblivious to the consequences
Defiant martyr I shall be
As the lines of war are drawn

MICHELLE


MICHELLE


I met her today
While dining with a friend
Beautiful lady
Her gracious smile
Warms my heart with sincere enthusiasm
Haunting eyes
Distressed locked gaze
Penetrates my marrow
River of compassion wells from within
Flowing to her silent plea
We shared a numinous moment
As time stood still
Spiritual connection
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
I wait patiently
For her walls of caution to crumble
Accepting my genuine solace
As it was meant to be


“And of some have compassion, making a difference”

Jude 1: 22

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
