Looking out
he took that step
intrepid
and risked it all

Faith to act
as his belay
one last piton
in the wall

Descent set free
in motion
a true heart
to guide him down

For love of life
and moments gone
belief once lost
—refound

(The New Room: December, 2023)
its not very nice when lonelieness creeps in
how do you make it go where do you begin
how can you replace the love you always knew
when the angels came and took your love from you

now your world is grey empty and so bare
when all you ever wanted is no longer there
everything around you is just an empty space
and the world outside you can no longer face

you must  use your faith with your will and hope
these  are things that matter they will help you cope
time will help the healing. time is on your side
help to fix the lonlieness and the love denied
DENNY R ALLISON Dec 2023
Those who have, lived the pain,
       Most qualified, to explain.
Religion
is the death of God
conscripting Him away

Cloaked in false
propriety
enlightenment at bay

Religion
is the death of God
scriptures to mislead

All piety
a false disguise
worshipping the creed

Religion
is the death of God
whose armies rage and burn

Killing
in the name of One
—whose love they claim to yearn

Sahil
Let me sink like the fallen Dove
Let me sink in the ocean of your love
Let me sink in those deep brown eyes
Let me sink in those beautiful skies
Let me sink in those light pink lips
Let me play with your fingertips
Once spent …
there’s no tomorrow

Once spent …
all time is rife

Once spent …
your fortune tendered

Death’s currency
—is life

Viewed from a distance
