WOLFCHILDE


Wolfchilde
Unique
Alive
Triumphant
Baying at the lucent moon
Full of mystery
Enigmatic warrior
Gentle wordsmith’s soul
Your vibrant salient mind
Intelligence unequaled
Loving brother
Fiercely loyal friend
I salute thy independence
Canadian succession
Cast off those chains of stifling oppression
Brilliant blade of truth
No mortal snares can fetter
Gods speed noble paladin
May peace gird your loins evermore

MERCY

MERCY



Melodic strings
Saturn’s rings
Far out inspiration
Feral love
Byproduct of
Bewildered aberration

It pleases me
To let it be
No longer a bondservant
My message clear
No slave to fear
A distance ever fervent

I share with all
This urgent call
Hope lies in submission
A life with Christ
He paid a price
Mercy’s acquisition


Ephesians 2:3-5 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain
3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved ;)

ENCHANTING APRIL

ENCHANTING APRIL


Sweetest dreams
Life’s special things
These joys I wish for you
Eyes of jade
Enchanting
Stunning peregrine
Hold me close to your heart
Gentle one whom I esteem
Fairness sleek
Beauty animated
Tender balmy smile
Share your soul with me
Trust
The golden key
No harm shall come to thee
Our paths have crossed for reason
Remorse shall linger naught
Dawn’s restless breath awaits
The advent of your presence
A simple jog of fate
Blessed spirits consummation
Our friendship conquers time
Oh smashing precious nymph
Still my restless ghost
Haunting sacred reverence
As I celebrate thy felicity
Feel my words to flatter
Never to offend
This ode to honor thee
Age defies
Passion cries
You stir my very core

NEW ATTITUDE

NEW ATTITUDE


Rushing cruor
Roaring through my burning veins
Warm
Tingling
Fresh
New attitude
Unpretentious
Gratified
My world
Forever impressed
What I was
A helpless hopeless sinner
Echoes down a misty trace
Promise
Great things advancing
Childlike wanderlust
Fits like virgin skin
Almighty God
Your glory
Amaranthine
I praise You everlasting
To be
As one with thy spirit
Oh how my soul cries for prevail
Bless me indeed
As I make my way to You

22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

MOTHER NATURES TEARS

MOTHER NATURES TEARS



Kaleidoscopic vertigo
Pre pubescent
Don’tcha know

Raise a glass
Salute the band
Sold out gig
In Never land

Do we dare offend the Queen?
Tale of mystery
Unforeseen

Raunchy fables
Legend falls
Animosity recalls

Late arrivals
Crowd the room
Cascading memories
Sonic boom

Lowly matron
Shattered dreams
Streaked mascara
Muffled screams

Amalgamation
Bitter end
She’ll never grasp
What might have been

COMING CLEAN

COMING CLEAN


Howling demons
Screaming fright
Haunting visions
Dreadful night

Coming down
Crashing tone
Misery calling
All alone

Synthetic nightmare
Aching dawn
Baby steps
As life goes on

I stand rejoicing
Conquered death
Significance
In gasping breaths

Drink the glory
Soak it in
Addiction wanes
Faith begins

To share the journey
Naked truth
Glowing tribute
Incumbent youth

Sound the trumpets
Raise the dead
In silent tribute
Daily bread

Forever altered
Fresh regard
Solid bedrock
Bruised and scarred


Comprehension
Destiny
Sacred balance
Harmony


Ezekiel 11:18-20 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain

18And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

AS IF ON THE WIND (FOR MY BROTHER HUEY)

AS IF ON THE WIND
(FOR MY BROTHER HUEY)


March 2006
Terribly over medicated
Hearty suicidal doses
Awash in chemical hell
Meniere’s sea sick trip
None can possibly relate without a taste
This silent vertigo affliction
I crashed into the wall
A caustic broken man
Resounding flutter
Deepest bipedal level
So vulnerable
Hopes dashed beyond consolation
Helpless desolation
My life
Hung upon a distant black star
Death
Not an issue then
Not an issue now
Blessed friend and neighbor
Drug me out of my forsaken bed
Self pity
Misery personified
My aging body
Resounding withdrawal seizures
Shook my unglued soul
Beautiful vision of faith
On a swell of Angels hymn
He stood tall
Enraptured
Reverent man of God
My brother Huey
Anointed messenger
He marched
Higher
Soaring while he preached
As if on the wind
Gentle healing hands
Soft and consecrated
Blissful human touch
Fragrant hallowed oil of restoration
Mighty bolts of electrifying power
Surging through my transformed shell
Yahweh’s glorious outpouring
Touched my inner vein
Never shall I be the same
Transformed
Joyous birth
A new child within
My Lord
Grateful am I
Forever more
Shall I sing your sublime praises




Exodus 15:2 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

2 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Laissez Faire
So unaware
Clutch my hand

Golden sunrise
Peaceful dreams

No extremes

Filled with goodness
Rich and pure
Holy Spirit
Rest assured

Gift of Jesus
Blessings reign
His sacrifice
Ultimate pain

So all can live
Without blame
Sweet salvation
Praise His name

Life triumphant

Peter 1:23 (New International Version)

HE LIVES

HE LIVES



Flowing verbiage
Nouns abound
Gift of prose
Soothing sound

Arresting subject
Light of day
Hope and glory
No delay

Our risen Savior
Celebrate
No hesitation
Snags my fate

Years of haunting
Washed away
Sanctified
Alive this day

Thank you Father
Praise to thee
Teach me Lord
Hear my plea

Fill my soul
Holy light
Scatter me
Direct my sight

I love you Jesus
Forever more
Saving grace
Heavens door

Sole objective
My one desire

His quiet presence
Comfort nigh
Holy Spirit
Watchful eye

Peaceful joy
Perfect bliss
Salvations blessing
Angels kiss

Soulful smile

Sharing love
Mercy’s whim

APRIL SHOWERS

APRIL SHOWERS


Springs opulent pageant
Flowers bloom in joyous celebration
Grey billows
Mask the brilliant sun
Gentle rumble of thunderclaps
Provoke refreshing April showers
Afternoon zephyr
Quenching rain from timely cloudbursts
God’s abundance
Nourishment for delicate jeweled petals
Blossoms thrive
A reminder of His eternal grace
Fragrant blessings indeed
A gift for all to cherish
