NONCHALANCE

He speaks in riddles
Nonchalance
Esoteric blather
Muddy water
Patience wanes
Inebriated masses
Sordid tale of happenstance
All cards
Upon the table
Destiny
Inherent greed
Lofty disappointment
Charming host
Lavish favor
Inconclusive virtue
Lightening streaks
Across a violent sky
Victorious refrain
Blind annihilation



8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
1 Peter 5: 8-9 (King James Version)

ENIGMATIC LADY

ENIGMATIC LADY


Pages turn
Life
Leaps
Onward
She sleeps
In peace
I wonder if she dreams of me
Vivid romance
Seductive satisfaction
Sweet flower
I inhale
Her fragrance
Passionate
Stunning beauty
Fascination
God she seeks
Clarity
New beginnings
Thunderous
My pulsing heart
Anxiously
I wait
Come to me
My love
Enigmatic lady

HOLLOW SOUL

HOLLOW SOUL


Backdoor slams
Darkness fades
Emotional fireworks
Streak across her ashen face
Life
Love
Primal peace of mind
Crosshairs of intensity
Melting hope
The years
Granulate
Her fragile quintessence
Melancholy dirge
Inner child bemoans
Jagged footpath
Heart of stale cinders
Hollow soul
Destiny assails

9:30 A.M.


Bacon sizzles
Aroma
Sweet
Hauntingly familiar
Tender fork
That gently turns
The blessed gift
My son
Asleep
Conditioned air
Coffee
Bold
Refreshing
Comfort
Joy
Memories
Of home

INTIMATE COMPANION

Loneliness
Contrary gale
Familiar wound
Forlorn
Ashen skin
Hollow eyes
Sullied Alabaster
Interpretation
Focal gaze
The years
Cataract
He waits
Morose
Desire wanes
Her fragile essence
Fabled
Broken dream
Perhaps
Love
Drifts astray
Intimate companion
Entombed amulet

FRAGRANT HEATHER

Midnight stroke
Primary counsel
Czar jabberwocky
Entrenched
Discreet strategy
Poet’s nomenclature
Zen Voodoo
Solitaire
Avarice benediction
Theistic juice
Equity
Appropriate discernment
Murky thoughts
Shimmering
Cumbersome frustration
Sultry lips
Amaranth
Explosive rhetoric
Iced pride of Jericho
Domed goblet
Gleaming
Embraced caramel pleasure
Ruminates
Effaced
Looming threats
Subversive war
Disturbed
The fragrant heather


28 They are a nation without sense; there is no discernment in them.

Deuteronomy 32:28 (New International Version)

IT'S TIME

IT’S TIME

Currish moon
Rising low
Conflict
Ominous
Disaster
Looming nigh
Golan Heights
Dismal Darfur
Global chaos
Festering
Hatred
Rampant
Torrid atrocities
We wallow in self pity
Blind
To guttural truth
It’s time
For love
Urgent prayer
Peaceful etiquette
No more excuses
Behind us
All the lies
Fine divide
Between the darkness
Brilliant holy light
Becoming crystal clear

FOR YOU (The one I long to meet)

Your beauty
Stunning
Sultry gaze
Alas
Fair Maiden
Thy tender soul
I long to penetrate
Wrap me in your velvet fold
Seduce
My lone desire
Journey forth
Angelic light
In view
Your hand
In mine
