when
you look
into
the mirror
think twice
because
death is
the
otherside of life

the sound of
soft rain
tap and dance
upon
my window pane
it cometh
from
the blessed hands
that
press against
the ivory
black and keys
upon the sacred piano

my shadow
performs
a high-wire act
across a tightrope
then
swings
from the
highest  trapeze
with
the greatest-of-ease
and
performs
the final act
a triple somersault
without any nets
high above a
hungry lion's cage
while
my shadow
lives
without fear or doubt

In the sky so high, the weary sun did sigh,
Her glazed eyes grew dim, as she bid day goodbye.
She'd shone bright and strong, but now her light was spent,
And so she slipped away, as the night's curtain was rent

the
mist of peace
the
hidden
iceberg
that
drift
beneath
the
soul
released

sun bring light in my darkness
earth feed thy hungry soul
moon brake bread with thee
sky I shall fly with these wings
wind lifts me up with compassion
day give me my portion
night I rest in your arms
Lord we shall not be diminished

do not
lust for
the things
we shall not
possess nor hold
if you sell your soul

let
God airbrush
the
scent of skylight
unto
your soul

the
spotted owl
nest
in
a quiet mood
to search for
the ghost of
the
Black Forest

surrounded
by
sun
and
silent moon
while
the
Lord
giveth us
this
fragile earth

i am
the space
that
my body needs
still
life is
a risk
while
i need
more space
to exist

death
be
a
drum major
that wander
through
and
from
the
earth

fresh moonlight
leaks from her mirror
into the River Jordon

to
a rodeo cowboy
with
his
prairie blue eyes
Nikki
sealed
her
undying love

when
fear breeds doubt
gemini
pythons
coiled
around
the
speechless soul
then
we sing out

i stumbled
upon a grave
that would not
let my soul
be save but
i had the faith and
the will
to ask the Lord
protect me
with your holy angels still
please show me
where the glory is and
all that glitters
is not gold
if i stumbled
upon a grave

what
make
poetry
paintings
are
the
tantalizing
brushstrokes of
the
soul

the board
shoulders of
their souls
peek through
the cracks in
the prison walls
trapped in
the death camps
now we hear
the horns of death

Through the will of God
I surrender

I submit to thee
As we pray for the Babylonians

Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven

I am old
crippled and dying of thirst

I will give thee
my last drop of water and
my last bite of bread

I  walk by faith

upon this earth

I said

the
silk worm in distress
prey
caught in
the
black widow's net
but
kindly offers
to make her
a silk red dress
to escape
an untimely death

We are caught
In The
Grips of time
Besieged by
All sides unkind
What price
Shall be paid
For this unconditional love
Between a father and
His only begotten son

love is
that light
burns gold
lifed the sea
lifted you and me
up throught
the stars
so heavenly
without gravity
without fear
without doubt
even if
our eyes
won't open nor shut
still that light
burns gold

Lord everything will be okay.
Lord, I have a thousand words to say.
Only You can give me
the sweet words to pray, so that
I can heal and become a better man today.
Yes, Lord, everything will be okay.

Lord i
feel your gravity and
the electricty
flows through
my soul
your power is omnipotent
when you choose
to manifest
your power
in this world but
still you are
my center piece
inspired by
your word

a poet is to live
a poem that he writes
thus he lights the way
be it by candlelight may
to measure the acts of mankind and i say
he gives voice unto this world
through paper and pen only because
a poet lives each moment a poem within

the
mischievous
red cheeks of
joy and bliss
that
springs from
the
hands of God

the castilian
church bells
sing
a higher pitch
for the
love and
glory of
God
almighty

we
are
angels
with
blue
wings
while
our
hearts
chirped
within

in the moment
let us  
cling to the
craddle of night and
breathe deep
the sacred moon delight
forever and ever
oh what sweet light
that give us
this day
our  daily bread
in the moment

when
stars
shed their light
we
hear
xylophones
chimes
and
kalimbas
the
clear sound of stars
when
stars
shed their light

The grave
Keeper knows
Who shall
Fill these graves
When there is
No flesh or bone
Graves have
Empty souls
Death shall
Find the
Respectful owners

wuz up
baby gurl
i wish
i could be
made invisible
in your world
where i could
be made indivisible
for my gurl and
slip right into
your groovy love
where i maintain
the tight control
oh yes baby yes and
it will take its toll
where i could be
made so irrisistible
brighter now
step by step
hold up hold up hold up
bang bang
hop in
i fell alright

Lord your words
rest upon my soul
that my faith and
not my flesh take hold
oh touch me Lord
remove the
dust of doubt within
my soul be filled
with God's promise again
shall not leave me
alone in this world
that my heart
be filled with
heaven's gold

inside of
the
atoms
are
quarks
where
the
light gathers
but
where
is
the
dark matter

through
its simplicity
through
its honesty
and
completely
bearing its soul
oh love
what
quiescent state of mind

gray
storm clouds
moving in
while
the
haunted rain
falling slantwise
again

oh priceless faith
give us
this quiet place
where we can
share it all
let us sing
every
night bird of
prayer

the
shadow of
Mercedes
that
leaves
her mark
the
shape of
a
songbird
at
rest

life
is a patch of light
watercolored canvas
with
autumn leaves
pumpkin orange
red gold indigo
and
mustard green
made of
odd and even
brush strokes
that
color my dreams
that
a patch of light

the road
to God
abide by
the tides of
the universe
flows through
your veins
through the
deep blue eyes
of the black cat

let
autumn light
make
every rainbow
mustard green
sunburst red
mango orange
honeysuckle yellow
Solomon blue
spiritual indigo
moonbeam violet
what
we
see
with
our eyes

washing you hands
in this holy water
shall not leave
a blemish
upon this
sweet
unblemished
moon

the
******
of the
busy wind
the sound of
a whistle
made
my heart
the
red kite again

there i shall go
into the hands of victory and
there i shall know
to beat the red
kettle drums of war
there i shall find
no peace of mind
i am sure but
trapped in
the hands of war
these are the signs
that we look for
thus lead me
through this battlfield
yet i shall go
where few men
have come home
to rest their weary souls
through all the signs of war

a thick
white
blanket of snow
is how
blue winter
speaks
to the
pines

happiness falls
into my hands
throught the
light of
your smile
where life
is a dance
we turn
into spring
there we go
there we go and
we do our thang
into the Nile
we go

the songbird
walks through
the sky
with its wings
stretched out wide
that burst
through the
clouds somehow
as it sings
reach for
higher ground

lord
in
the
still of the night
i'm
reminded of thee
while
i'm
up on the hill
trapped in the gray storm
and
the gravity
oh
lord
if
you leave the light on

night cast
her
black velvet
embrace
around
the stars

the sea green
eyes  of night
thus
walk upon
the red
cobblestone streets
of my soul
