"sanctify" poems
Sailors, chanters and politicians Proselytize our new dimensions Warriors, weavers and priest-drawn blood Sanctify our new haven. The sun comes up We chop wood Toolerize and gamify our fun Still the same man under the same sun. And for millennia The new is suppressed Marked as devilry To keep us meek. Feeling crazy today Going to have my say But first I'll impregnate The Chief's chief lay.

Rebellion
When brothers go to war there are no captives/ When brothers go to war we find only casualties/ The in explicable war between Palestine and Israel,/ In this poem i hope that peace would prevail/ Countries at the crossroads of heaven and hell/ Their war has lasted for ages/ Pain and revenge bitterness and hate/ When brothers go to war who dares to mediate/ Who knows of their fate who knows whose right/ Its bee like this for so many years/ Who will be there to wipe their tears/ Who will be there to give hope to those in fear/ Who will dare to go and interfere/ When brothers go to war know that the end is near/ Hold on and sanctify your soul in prayer/ When brothers go to war who is the villain who is the saint/ The war of Israel and Palestine stained in red paint/ A revelation to the faint hearted/ A lesson to the boastful and egocentric/ Innocent lives lost when brothers go to war/ A gentle answer turns away wrath/ But a harsh word stirs up anger/ A hot tempered man stirs up dissension/ But a patient man calms a quarrel/ When brothers go to war who dares mediate (c) ISSAI

WHEN BROTHERS GO TO WAR
We entered the holy city with palm branches to welcome Parading in as they sang 'Hosanna!' They honored Him as if He were their king As if He had come to set them free Oh how right they were, the Promised King, come to set His people free We shared in communion with the Lord and the betrayer On the eve of the darkest day in history Hate brewed at one end of that table While love stirred peacefully on the other And all of us living in blissful ignorance in between We celebrated the passover with our master And we prayed that The Lord would not pass over us again That instead He would stoop down to us and save us But we denied Him in His hour of need We slept soundly as He was betrayed by us Like a lamb led to the slaughter, He gave His life for another They beat Him within inches of His divine life They cast lots for his garments, and spit on His bloodied face No longer did they yell 'Hosanna!' to welcome their king, But they yelled 'crucify him!' to condemn their Divine Lord They drove nails into his frail hands He cried out to heaven asking why The Lord had forsaken Him He declared in defiance ‘It is finished’ and He passed on to death They threw a sword into his swollen side His holy blood and holy water spilled to sanctify the earth onto which it fell So silly they were, they thought that they could **** God That they really believed they could depose the Lord of all with mere nails But the sky darkened, and heaven turned away as to not see her Lord die The earth shook and the world changed Suddenly all knew 'surely this man was the Son of God' The once bright and beautiful sky turned suddenly dark The earth shook violently in disapproval that her creator lay dead on her face The warm humid air turned suddenly bitterly cold and dry For the promised Messiah had been defeated Death itself had victory over the world, and the world knew it was so There, on the cross, lay the Life of the World, dead The Light of the World had been snuffed out, and the world left in darkness The hope of all mankind suddenly vanished The steady hand holding the world wavered in mourning And darkness covered the seemingly God-forsaken earth Who are we at the foot of the cross that stood silently? We stood by and watched the promised Messiah be taken away and killed We reap what we sew, and will now live out our days in darkness Without hope we shall suffer for all time, a punishment fit for our crime We crucified the Messiah, we gave the Lord to death, we killed God For three days the sun did not rise For three days the world swayed unstable The demons danced in the darkness Hell was victorious Because for three days, God lay dead in a tomb.

Jesus my savior and my strength, As I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I shall fear no evil for you are with me, My enemies will come with one intention, Lord you will separate them and crush them, Jesus you will turn their laughter into cries, Jesus you will turn their celebrations into sorrow, Jesus my savior and my armor, Jesus you loved me and died for me, For I will be saved, sanctified, restored, forgiven and above all healed, I will forever put my trust in you, My faith is stronger because I know you are with me, You said in your word that you will always be there for me, And lord you praise your promises more than your name, All the world will perish but your word will remain because it is true, God your omnipotent not limited by time, God you’re the ALPHA and OMEGA the beginning and the end, Your ways are beyond our thinking capacity, Jesus you will go before us so we need not worry, Jesus I praise your name and declare your Holly, I thank you for saving me it’s not because I am special but it’s because you chose me, Thank you for protecting my family and relatives, Thank you for all that you have given us, I glorify your name you alone should be exalted, Jesus cursed are those who oppress orphans and widows, Jesus you’re the father of orphans and husband to widows, I lift your name high because it is a name above all other names, Your holly Jesus and there is none like you, I thank you Jesus for everything, Jesus you will put my enemies to shame, Jesus you will expose their wickedness for all to see, Jesus my refuge in time of trouble, Jesus I will kip you in my heart for eternity, Sanctify my mind body spirit soul eyes ears and mouth, So that I may testify that you are alone are to be worshiped, No man or woman on earth can dare stand in your presence, Jesus you’re the fire that consumes Jesus consume my enemies, Consume them till there are no ashes left make them disappear, If they come with fear Jesus strike back at them with your wrath, All that fills this world will pass but your word will last, Your holly Jesus thank you for loving me, I glorify your name Messiah.

Sweltering insurgencies of electric power chords Tribal reverberations of skin-stretched drum boards Rolling and filling; syncopating the noise Of the tit-less toys The dick-less boys Enraptured in the music The anthem Of invidious phantoms My eyes hurt inside and I want to pull them out and Scrape out the gunk and rust that’s behind my self-indulgent perseverance so I can cry for the first time in years… Wrapping my hands around his slender torso Licking away the paint, the dripping ooze; more so Than hastening my ****** and mordant urges To bite what emerges And my mouth purges The obelisk from underneath The iron-pierced jester The voracious molester My hand tightens as I grip his throat tighter and I want to squeeze until his eyes pop from his sockets and laugh until I puke against the walls, watching the ****** fluids mix like an execrable marinara sauce… I turned thirty while still being sixteen The vivid beauty of the world was only in dreams But none of mine, none that I can recall Many years have passed since I took the oral fall Where no one saw Intransigent need to live For the snake in my veins hungered for more So many had their way until I was limp and sore. Defamatory fingers of mire and strife Probing and stretching My insides And devilishly comforting With limpid ambrosia That’s infected by bilious worms and maggots covered in icing And fruit Amatory gauntlets fastened and secured over Handless limbs that retract under matriculated frictions That fracture, crack, morph, distort Emphasize, marginalize Rationalize, desensitize Acts of *********** evasion, moral drainage; Pieces, bits, chunks, sections, portions, servings; Arms, legs, eyes, tongues, fingers, toes, Love, lust, infatuation Adoration Boys, girls, women, men, Angels, demons, monsters, humans Creators, gods, titans, divas All extended and limited from the minds that worship Sanctify, mesmerize, glorify, rectify While humans eat more, love more, **** more Than the angels, demons, monsters, and titans We ponder and cherish Nevermore, for me Ever lore, for all Crows surround And chaos found.

(Tune: “Londonderry Air") Here in the vista of three hundred years we stand, Our torches kindled by thy guiding light. A Pilgrim host, we come to thee from every land, With joyful hopes, well girded by thy might. Connecticut, beloved State, all hail to thee; Tower of might against a flaming sky, The heav’ns resound with praise, ring out with victory. God speed you on and all your glories sanctify. Through summer heat and winter cold thy honor stands, A bulwark gainst the mighty hosts of sin, Till love shall spread to earth’s most distant island strands, And Heaven’s righteous ways o’er evil win. Connecticut, advancing through the changing years, May knowledge guide thy sons and daughters fair, And honor, truth and wisdom banish all our fears, Connecticut, while we thy many glories share! The years shall pass across thy mighty mountain walls, Against the gold of every setting sun, A newer host, well-born within thy ancient halls, Shall bear thy standards of new glories won. Connecticut, our fathers kept thy honor fair, Thy reach of love they widened to the sea. We shall keep faith, where they fought; we, too, shall dare, Connecticut, for aye we pledge our hearts to thee.

Ode to Connecticut
In the wild confusion of my life, I saw your face A kind countenance making bright my days Through rugged tracks when I stumbled along I felt an unseen hand holding me strong When bewildered by the horrid scenes of death You assured that life extends beyond mortal breath When lost in the dank and dark alley of wickedness You diverted my steps into the well lit path of righteousness When I gloated over my own trivial accomplishments You reminded me of my littleness through mild chastisements When I lost myself in the grip of vanity You opened my inner eye to restore my sanity When tossed by the currents of fiery storms Lord! You made me seek the safety of your arms When drowning in the sea of escalating pain You sustained and strengthened me and kept me sane Many got wiped out from the face of the Earth Without seeing the New Year’s birth Thank you for allowing me to see this glorious dawn ‘Extend your hand’, I pray, for me to hold on! Make me feel, you are there in every rhythm of my life More when life becomes burdensome with problems rife Over the arid deserts and the stormy turbulent sea I pray to be by my side as an abiding presence, piloting me My Lord! Without you my life will be in peril Never let me fall into the snares of the devil Do not desert me, stay by my side now and ever Be my guiding light and sanctify my every endeavor!

Be by My Side
Do not dare allow yourself to forget trillions of stars do dance in the sky, life is more than a simple silhouette Some might fall like ash from a cigarette and Evil will have his own alibi, do not dare allow yourself to forget Listen! For the trees whisper not to fret- from ruins rise new hope to sanctify, life is more than a simple silhouette Mountains dwell in every view and yet birds pay no heed for they grow wings and fly, do not dare allow yourself to forget Rivers ebb and flow like a minuet and salmon swim upstream against the tide, life is more than a simple silhouette Though darkness above might seem like a threat shadows begone one would never know light- do not dare allow yourself to forget life is more than a simple silhouette.

Silhouette
A broken ALTAR, Lord, thy servant rears, Made of a heart and cemented with tears; Whose parts are as thy hand did frame; No workman’s tool hath touch’d the same. A HEART alone Is such a stone, As nothing but Thy pow’r doth cut. Wherefore each part Of my hard heart Meets in this frame To praise thy name. That if I chance to hold my peace, These stones to praise thee may not cease. Oh, let thy blessed SACRIFICE be mine, And sanctify this ALTAR to be thine.

The Altar
Screaming your name into the winter winds, the emptiness its own reply Marked steps leading to a coven grove, faint crescent moonlight on the snow in the small clearing, round water, clouded starlight watch above Praying by a frozen forest pond at midnight The spirits of the trees acknowledge my presence in their circle I tell them I have come to see the darkest part of night Turning up my palms, opening my hands and my heart and my mind A human receiver, channeling the vibrations of the Earth Sensations directed inwardly outwardly flow into action Collecting branches and pine needles Leaving them at your door, the fresh scent of cool mint and sap Natural balms to sanctify a new reality Priestess, I am sorry. I turned my back on the faith. If only for a span, But for absolute belief, it took me doubt Doubt burnt down the church But the spirit still resides in our hearts, Shakti We felt the flames of the church on fire, we watched as the edifice we constructed crashed and burned around us Invocations of death and pain, I heard and felt the despair from your mouth, my love, a hateful sword ran through me then, and I could only stand still, close my eyes, and die, as it penetrated us Kali came to wipe the unreal away What is left? Benevolent Mother Goddess Redeemer of My Universe You are I am your equal Duad Standing together to face the world Building amphitheaters in the wood to recite inspirations derived from love Let me bring you flowers Let me be your hand Let me be a swan by your side Never leaving you again Dependent on no one Yet interdependent with each others entire universe Our voices merging together into a song By you, divine lover, this universe is borne, my mother, my sister, my friend You are my woman In woman is the form of all things There is no jewel rarer than you

He retreats into his home, and Now his ritual's begun, He briefly questions his decisions, and The person he's become. Now he brings to birth, an orange flame Beneath a tarnished silver spoon. His eyes fixate on glints of light, Which penetrate his living room, and Flood into his windows, from the Autumn evening's harvest moon, and He looks down into the spoon, he Smiles, and gives a simple nod, and Now with unremitting reverence, he is Praying to his God, and begging: "Sanctify me, rectify me, "Tranquilize, mesmerize me, "Pacify me, O' great master, so "That I might know thy peace, and "Fill me with intrigue, pon which, "My famished soul might feast!" "Won't you please..." "Light my darkness? "Stoke my flame? "Calm my mind and "Heal my pain? "Dry my weary, "Weeping eyes, and "Grant my heart, to "Feel again?" "If only for a moment, "Let me know that "I'm still live! and "Fill me with your beauty, "That of which, I'm so deprived!" Now, he draws up with his needle, The cold steel then tears a hole, He feels relief, that within seconds, He will once again be whole. Back he pulls, as crimson stains the walls He pushes in, and back he falls, Into the velvet wonderland, of Blankets on his bed. His prayer indeed, was not refused He feels fulfilled, he is renewed, Well, at least until tomorrow's Vicious cycle starts anew.

The Junkie's Prayer
You speak of salvation. After the chaos I've caused, my redemptive acts merely clear a few stones from the path of an avalanche. What sort of deity would deign to sanctify me? Where is the sense in granting forgiveness when I still hold myself accountable?

You are ******* Brilliant Con man Devoted Enigmatic Father Gregarious Healer Indignant Jovial Kartikeya Liar Machiavellian Narcissist Ogre Provider Quaint Resilient Sage Thief Ubiquitous Vagrant Wanted Xylene Yawl Zestful All these things are only a small representation of that which you were. To be honest These are only the things That I recall You being to me Being for me I refuse to Sanctify you I refuse to Demonize you You Sir Gone so many days Missed for so long Moons have passed Pleasures which I I prayed you observed Millions of events large and small have come and gone since that day Most of which are insignificant Many of which will never be complete with out you having been there You are gone these things are what you were you are still alive in me so they are things that you are and I have to accept that I am.

A white abstract silence falls heavily like phosphorous snow… odd and oblique with nervous intensity of random limitations… sensitive and fragile in its unremitting generosity…A fluency of motion of imaginary realisation in silent turbulence descends in tenebrous shadows of illusion detonating the unconscious… the symmetry and exactitude of silence beyond all compass…. an intricate camouflage… meticulous and consistent. Disinherited it tries to sanctify the air….. a silence in where stars evaporate vibrational loud and inquisitive…. freezing time by the velocity of its inner momentum of silent adrenalin. Concealing its true identity isolating me in unknown realisation of what is to occur.. It resonates with constant tension waiting for unpredictability’s of indispensible voices that don’t speak….. This is a realisation of the imagination…. a vibrant insensibility…. density of unravelled thoughts that vaporise within me causing a vibration that fractures the equation of time and space in the burning crucible of my mind. Intractable proportions of silent thought…. hovering… a constant mirage of irrational calculations….. This silence forces all the tears of consequence to fall upon my face with no avail…..Then in this thunderous silence see graffiti on white walls…abstract and meaningless….Like primitive lives…those with meaning yet possess no meaning… an ungovernable democracy of fruitless endeavour… of non factual fastidiousness… a glimpse of life and its fallacy. Yet the words were spoken and written… by whom… And for why.. Now the silence punctuates and instructs…. phosphorous extinguishes itself and hides behind another truth…..The noise of the world cascades in torrents deafening… attempting to defeat… subordinate the senses in atavistic cruelty… Prowling searching for the silence… but it has gone…. disappeared in the imagination of my inner self…. an abstraction I call me….. But I know where the silence has gone….

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today; And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain harvest; keep us here All simply in the springing of the year. Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white, Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night; And make us happy in the happy bees, The swarm dilating round the perfect trees. And make us happy in the darting bird That suddenly above the bees is heard, The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill, And off a blossom in mid air stands still. For this is love and nothing else is love, To which it is reserved for God above To sanctify to what far ends he will, But which it only needs that we fulfill.

A Prayer In Spring
You failed to take your Drone Control Command Kit as you hurried off at dawn for work this early morn. Unmindful, I mistook it for a fancy Xbox game contraption, so commenced a match of Shock and Awe to while away the time and with the joystick, hot and pulsing, quickly opened fire at some evil bad-guy villains lurking down below (nearby, a bus with random kids confused, in fear and hiding). Left quite a bit of childish crimson carnage flowing on congested streets inside a city storming somewhere… thank goodness, very far away from here. Please forgive me, for I think it was your very last remaining smart-precision missile… yes, that pretty one you’d kept so long, and meant to use some day to sanctify a humble wedding-day reception… but as you know I've always had a hang for children's senseless macho playthings.

I have been seeking a moment when My paean would see the light A melody when your serrated laugh Crescendoes and obviates all evils But what I'm truly wishing for Is to be a scabbard to your sword The bell that wakes you up at noon A hymn that you know by heart And the rituals that you adhere to Tell me how I could shield The furtive rhythm of your chords To venerate the echoes of your fingertips And be completely absorbed in your silhouette I am proclaiming my paean That seems five months of age But in fact it has been decades Trapped amongst verses and rhymes If Hemingway was exchanging breaths You could be his martini glass Or the obsession of Shelley with Keats Or maybe a beer bottle on Hank's grave But the golden lotus has been outdated For you are my fierce flames To sanctify and to revive And unlike Plath I'm living to see When my paean would come to life

Set a Setting When You Please
Amicable, the vibration, Getting to the Eden. Elements sanctify the hurt, Bonded like super glue. Educates the visualized future, Symphonic orchestra at the concert. Adjudicated, the sentiment, Layering me luscious lucidity. Evening the odds, Fit for four hands. Destiny decided to Trade compassion and serenity. Sincere, the revelation Always and all ways. Sorry is deeply sorry, Even when mostly innocent. Let me contribute to the Symphonic orchestra at the concert. Bond like super glue, Cue my disclosure. (c) 2014 Brandon Antonio Smith (Originally written 12/9/10 Revised 10/2/14)

Untitled for none is deserved. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/02/world/asia/pakistani-militants-gun-down-7-aid-workers.html?hp Bended knees self-sanctify bloodied ground, sneering, silent thunder slaps my face, Those Who Dare Call Themselves Gods, chuckling at all they have wrought, murderous, heinous, hateful. Who is the reprehensible abomination, us or them, and their devoted servants who **** "freely" in their name? Ennobling man with faculty infinite, then tempting/torturing, obstacling him from its fullest usage, lest we recognize, the imperfection of their sloppy design. If free will is a gift, I freely regift it back to them. Some venerate Mother, after killing their wives and daughters and mothers, laughing about it in the whorehouses of their souls What a piece of work are these Gods! If man is the quintessence of the Gods, their last, best creation before resting, are they themselves not corrupted? So called Gods, pillory the New York City morn dawn, a pallor hard-grey nothingness. a bitter kiss, from things only they control, a greeting card from on high, happy new year wishes from Newtown, Delhi, Peshawar, and Jerusalem. At last, I comprehend, why we minioned millions celebrate this day with drunken reverie. --- Jan. 1, 2013

Sorrow is a lonesome river, she feeds a deep blue sea. She'll take all the tears you give her; open the gates and set her free. When it rains in Georgia, it's flooding sacred ground. From Augusta to Savannah, that's holy water coming down. Lift your chin up off your chest, raise your eyes up to the sky. The flood has reached its crest, let the warm sun sanctify. Sorrow is a lonesome river, she feeds a deep blue sea. She'll take all the tears you give her; open the gates and set her free. r ~ 5/16/14

Sorrow is a lonesome river
Time is my lover; my companion. She has revealed to me the sacred secrets of the world. Captivated by her beauty and insight I have become fascinated by her existence. I came to realize long ago, in the eons of my metamorphosis that she is the only one I can trust… I take solace in this. One cannot be led astray with love and time. The blossoms and lilies are blooming amongst the tightly packed soil of the terrene. I am efflorescing as well… Time has revealed this to me. My heart is a celestial body amongst celestial bodies, illuminating the darkness and chaos ravaging the Earth. I am a luminescent ruby shining red hot with passion; I have a fervor that shall not be diminished by the vitriol of a single malefactor. I am united in spirit and soul with The One whom has redeemed me from sin and death. My light is my hope; I have power when I am shining as brightly as the Sun. Epiphanies are ever present in this vicissitude of my life. I prayerfully await more growth beckoning me from just over the horizon. The Sun has beseeched me to sanctify His name through melodious song. I become less and less of a vestige as each sunset approaches. My spirit is my cocoon. I shall pray for more efflorescence as the Great Day approaches. My soul is flowering forth with ebullience and a deep tranquility that no one can take away from me. I shall rest my faith in my cognizance of the might I possess. Today is my rebirth and the Phoenix has bestowed upon me its benediction. To have newfound life breathed into your nostrils; words cannot express the jubilation, the ecstasy that has arisen in my soul as a result of this. I have been fortified and from this day forth, I shall no longer relinquish my right to joy and prosperity. May the Lord of Blissful Joy awaken in you also, the cognizance of the might you possess. -Amen- By, Iridescently Efflorescent

Oh Darling, don't sanctify me as a higher being, your salvation out of your rut. the world is a green moist sponge, and I am just another dihydrogen oxide molecule trapped in it's fibers crying for salvation screaming for baptization waiting for nothing and although you think in binary terms. I think in decimal and yet we are the stigma of the guy and the gal in this dream of dreams. a heiress of confession I am here surreal and every single inch made out of stardust to remind you... Remember Montague and the frosted lake? where we built the blanketfort among the trees for the child and lit her world with dazzling LEDs, as she stared in the tent higher than fools talking nonsense words about the world and her feelings because she's so sad and because she's so mad because no one cares except her and her watering eyes. she says. I have no one. And you can't do anything about it, starwhale because that's the way I like it.

It is a temple Where we pray and learn! It is an abode Where we congregate and share! It is a garden Where everyone blossom! It is a bastion of contemplation Each of us sanctify with thought! It is foliage Reflects our friendship and wisdom! It is a castle Where we find out our hymn to lead a life! It is a stream Still flowing and giving elixir of life!
