A love song........

SACRED INTIMACY (A love song)


Haunting melancholy
Vivid reminisce
Satin gown beside me
Tender goodnight kiss

Safety of her velvet touch
Sacred intimacy
Longing for completion
Two as one
Shall be

Searching resolute
Silent loneliness
Her hand I seek in earnest
Loves pristine caress

I feel her now
Approaching
Faceless
Yet familiar
No coincidence
In human terms…Peculiar

Grace my life dear lady
Seize my hungry soul
Eternal jubilation
Your love
Shall make me whole

A revised lyrical ramble about triumph over addiction

UNDERTOW


Hotel rooms
Seedy bars
Outside
Looking in
Teal lagoons
Shiny cars
Velocipede of sin

Gelatinous infection
Incandescent scourge
Modicum enticement
Bulwark cliffs emerge

Road warrior enchantress
Provocative excess
Hawkish illustration
Stunning scarlet dress

Intoxication nation
The dead
Lift up their glass
Gross infatuation
Tempered rude harass

Cherry nosed drunkard
Staggering alee
Stout mind blowing hooch
Prowling patiently

Fighting blindly
Tooth and nail
Whiskey fed my rant
A sot was I
Quite cowardly
Braggadocio veil

Tis He who fished my flailing arse
From drowning in the gale
Gift of life supposing
Alive to share my tale

Fading myths
Monoliths
Confession lingers on
Extraordinary
Consequence foregone

Culture ripples
Undertow
Magnetism
Softened blow

Inestimable love
Benevolence we crave
In direct proportion
Pash sadly depraved

GLOWING GRACE

GLOWING GRACE


Some
Born to write reviews
Others
To ignore them
Metaphors
Revolving doors
Profundity of peace
Galvanized emotions
Repel the rains of sorrow
Love
Object of our yearning
To give
As to receive
In simple ceremony
Placid efforts
Dulled by harsh rejection
Ignite this day
Spark of Holy Spirit
Dreams
Blurred by aging matter
Quite necessary
To fuel our daily quest
Tender hand of friendship
Companion for the journey
Sacred comfort
Alms of glowing grace
Searing compassion
Genuine humility
We
Called to live in harmony
Service
To a higher purpose
“Come follow Me”
Said He
Willingness
The key
Ultimate achievement

SENSELESS CARNAGE

SENSELESS CARNAGE


April 16th, 2007
Blacksburg Virginia
Scene of senseless carnage
Bloody massacre
Calculated rampage
Innocence
Forever betrayed
Helpless students
Bewildered
Terror unforeseen
Violence
Conjured within darkness
Satan spreads his wings
Inconceivable horror
Lovers spat
Whatever
Panic presided
It matters not to the dead
Captive to their innocence
Chained doors of doom
Guilty of no crime
The world wants answers
Why?
Truth perhaps died
With a cowardly last shot
Feeble email warnings
Two hours missing
To mount the final assault
A pair of 9mm’s
Destruction
His only goal
Gripped by hell-bent hands
Armed to the teeth with ammo
Quite prepared to die
And take so many with him
Lives forever changed
Our hearts
Bleed for our children
In this Godless wayward breed
Violence rapes our land
Glorified murder
This madness must desist

A new song

DENIAL



At times
I greet depression
Chilling
To the bone
Learning to embrace it
For I am not alone

Hesitation lingers
Fear
Of letting go
Floating on His promise
Absolution
Flows

No longer (Chorus)
A victim of denial

Charming apparition
Shades of mellow truce
Gaze of imperfection
Freedom
From the noose

Glowing admiration
Thankful
For a taste
Perpetual progress
Innocence
Embraced

No longer
A victim of denial

Truth
In others eyes
A smile
Impassioned souls
These things
I seek with diligence
Love
Like glowing coals

Martyrdoms a drag
Selfish
Insecure
Tis better to exemplify
Him
Who makes us pure

No longer
A victim of denial

ARISE

ARISE


Absence of fear
Methodical faith
Flowing conviction
Our Counselor
Unseen
Raw adoration
Arise
Beloved child
Be
Immortal
Pristine essence
Brimming stillness
No chains
Shall circumscribe
Focus
Endure
Rejoice
Rest in Him
Our maker

NO COINCIDENCE

NO COINCIDENCE


Fluorescent dreams
Vivid fantasy
Opulent explosion
Truth
Revelation
Mirage
Becomes verity
Once wasted
Anew
Reproduced
Crape layers
Pared by transformation
No coincidence
God’s master stroke
Surreal
Brilliant
Graceful clemency
Beauty of assurance
His gift
Ever sovereign
For all
Who call Him King
He lives
Merciful
Essence of love
Unconditional
Eternal
