"worshippers" poems
Day breaks over a sleepy village Morning absolutions completed An excited buzz is in the air Everyone is a buzz with cleaning Hundreds gather wild flowers in the fertile fields Many were in charge of raising the fires Soon the whole town had bright blooms weaved from one end to the next The horizon alight with smoke and power Goddess and God rights invoked within circles round Pulsating, rhythmic energy racing through each dancing body Gyrating to the cosmic beat of life Couples jump merrily together over cauldrons ablaze High hopes rise and give way for dreams of children Lovers round and round they twine Maypole ribbons rainbow hued passing through hand to hand As dusk falls the Queen is crowned Mead flows freely through the jubilant worshippers The moon hangs round with fullness above their heads Lighting the way for love into the night

Beltane
The flag, a white crescent and single star on a field of crimson — kırmızı, not just 'red' — tells of Islam. The men drinking beer and rakı at pavement tables, even in Ramadan, and the short-skirted, bare-armed girls, parading with bare-faced confidence, tell of other influences; but at the appointed hour we hear the call to prayer from the marble minaret, a slim finger pointing to the sky beside shining domes reflecting the vault of heaven. At five a.m. we hear it faintly through hotel double-glazing, or at sunset, as a peaceful accompaniment to the spectacle, and we remember where we are. But especially at the midday hour, when the voice of the muezzin echoes over noisy street or market, and from another minaret and another the duet becomes a trio, a quartet of different melodies, out of tune with each other but never discordant (in these tones the word has no meaning), the faithful are reminded, however busy they may be, that their God requires something of them. Then, entering the cool calm of the mosque, entering the quiet forest of pillars, feeling through the soles of our bare feet marble polished by the tread of generations of worshippers, fine-grained wood, the rich softness of crimson carpet, we luxuriate in the textures as they combine with the formal floral patterns of the tiles, the ornate calligraphy of the inscriptions, the rich colours of the glass, and we realise that the builders of these mosques knew what they were doing, so many years ago, how peace can enter the soul through the senses.

love is a weird thing. love wrapped his arms around you sometimes like always and maybe this is what the hopeless romantics meant when they said sometimes home is not a place love is like religion where the worshippers would never hesitate to jump from the highest mountain to the lowest surface of the ocean your head will bleed and you will still carve smiles using your lips, followed by the eyes and say thank you how silly- when he smiles all the wilt flowers come back to life and bloom and bloom and bloom like its a spring season in december its august and its rainy here but flowers they last longer when he grins from ear to ear like a silly man, like a precious silly bean when he laughs the chaos in my mind disappear all the tics and all the screams up there just went quiet its the moment of contentment i wish to last maybe not forever but give me a moment. i can't stand eye contact so i stare at him when he's not looking and oh dear god if this is a dream, i wouldn't mind trapped here i wouldn't mind encounter the demons i see in the corner of my bed i would approach them, shake their hands like an old friend as long as i can be with him for a little longer but when those lips spill the word love i don't recognise it h e l p me- hate is the opposite word of love and my doubts are loud i hate the fact that my doubts are draining his love for me my eyes are covered and my ears are being plugged with earphones whispering he's lying. my love, i love you i'm scared of heights but i'm an idiot and i would jump from the highest mountain in the name of love. please- i said please- do not get tired of me i want to trust you let me put my trust on you i'm trying. i promise.

The bonfire was loaded With exiting tales Our forerunners legendary Exploit's these daggers Cut deep trenches in Our mindseye we felt Like the next generation Of wrath true tales from A culture of devil worshippers Yet the tongue's wielding The blade was non the wiser Our innate minds chewd Every word our lives Satan's Recycling bin two five ten Deaths and many generations After we now realised that We have to cut out the blade From these forked tongued Folk tales that whispers filth Unto the unsuspecting ears Of our beautiful children Heroism emenating from The subculture of criminality And gangsterism must no Longer be tolerated it have savaged The Innocence of young lives For far too long

The Devils tongue
Virtue runs before the muse And defies her skill, She is rapt, and doth refuse To wait a painter's will. Star-adoring, occupied, Virtue cannot bend her, Just to please a poet's pride, To parade her splendor. The bard must be with good intent No more his, but hers, Throw away his pen and paint, Kneel with worshippers. Then, perchance, a sunny ray From the heaven of fire, His lost tools may over-pay, And better his desire.

Sun slits in through slats of kitchen window blinds and she is alone. The art major is cooking spaghetti, pretending her thrifted T-shirt bearing a cotton copy of Campbell's Soup Cans is not stained with tears and blood. Oh, but that's hysterics and hyperbole; art has a tendency of making its worshippers melodramatic...no? The blood is only tomato sauce and the tears... well, what are tears but water and salt? After all, dramatizing the mundane is just one awkward shade of artistic temperament. Visualizing life through a heavy silk screen. The art major sighs and stirs. The spaghetti is redder and redder as she cooks. Just as her paintings bleed more blood as she dangles a brush over them - the teary-eyed watercolours. The art major has decided that drawing out extremities of colour might transform her own life into a pop of a Warhol painting. The art major sighs and stirs. She thinks, tries to think in technicolour. Today's thought-pencilled thesis concludes (like a brush stroke of uncertain finality) that love is the red of tomato soup cans. Anger is the boil, passion is the gulp, danger, caution, warning, the hot breaths, fleeting warmths, the burn and sweet and tang. She looks down at the scarlet of Warhol's soup cans, blooming in worn out cotton on her chest. It might as well be blood, she thinks. It is, it is, it is. Blood red love - tomato soup cans. Sun sets in slits through kitchen window blinds and she is still alone. The art major sighs and stirs. The spaghetti is ready.

Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word My choicest hours Are the hours I spend with You -- O Allah, I can't live in this world Without remembering You-- How can I endure the next world Without seeing Your face? I am a stranger in Your country And lonely among Your worshippers: This is the substance of my complaint.

My greatest Need is You
The South wind said to the palms: My lovers sing me psalms; But are they as warm as those That Laylah's lover knows? The North wind said to the firs: I have my worshippers; But are they as keen as hers? The East wind said to the cedars: My friends are no seceders; But is their faith to me As firm as his faith must be? The West wind said to the yews: My children are pure as dews; But what of her lover's muse? So to spite the summer weather The four winds howled together. But a great Voice from above Cried: What do you know of love? Do you think all nature worth The littlest life upon earth? I made the germ and the ant, The tiger and elephant. In the least of these there is more Than your elemental war. And the lovers whom ye slight Are precious in my sight. Peace to your mischief-brewing! I love to watch their wooing. Of all this Laylah heard Never a word. She lay beneath the trees With her lover at her knees. He sang of God above And of love. She lay at his side Well satisfied, And at set of sun They were one. Before they slept her pure smile curled; "God bless all lovers in the World!" And so say I the self-same word; Nor doubt God heard.

Softness of her nervous slim hands, Ostensibly glad meeting me she was. For so many happy days yet to come, Again not letting differences pop-up, Rosy blush dropping in her cheeks. Yes that makes her look even cuter, Exceptionally cute she is so beautiful, Tomorrow our baby will be even cuter. Ship of combined life we sail in together, On time we'll make it to the destination. Casting bright shadows of ours we tread, Looping circle of happiness we rejoice, Of our feelings we are worshippers, Setting the same destination from different roads, Earning trust, respect, love, sensuality & care as we go on.

So Far Yet So Close [Committed Acrostic Collaboration]
Inadequate to the task Humbled by the enormity of our love, The perfection of our joining, Where are the words kept that sufficient Honor and portray what we have achieved? You seated, beside me by the bay, finally, Two old adirondack trees side by side, By the sheltered place you bequeathed me, Where poems are raindrops, so numerous, And you, if not the subject, the source. The waves rolling in, mirror the Fluidity of thy dancing, Fluidity of the adaptation, Two lives, now one bay blue colored, The merging, the unification, Many waves, but one bay, The Bay of Us. Yet so different. We are cloud worshippers, Does not the Skye's Tableau inconstancy, Mirror our ever changing form, individuality, Yet, one sky, The Sky of Us. So many times have I lain be-sided Even as we this afternoon sit now a-sided, Tears welling up, above and beyond control, This man's steady nerves, constant on patrol, Our secret open, visible, un-hided, Your are my Magi My Yogi, i.am, your, obedient devotee, shaped to you please. This is the birthday present my words present. Words, unremarkable, Except for the contentment That lies within them. Let me love you more, Recklessly abandon norms, Kiss you at the supermarket, at the opera, Unashamedly, take you in my arms Wherever wonderment and wandering lead us. T'is so very hard to compose When tears flow upon my writing tablet, To wipe, blot them away, I refuse, For tears are joyous emblems, Salty badges of love, All compliments of our complementary beings, The Tears of Us. The soaring music we gather in. The shimmering sparkles upon the bay, My gift of natural diamonds better, this day, Than jeweled glitterati I hide in the refrigerator. All this treasure, part and sparkle of The Treasure of Us. T'is truth, I know not, forgot, your age nor care, The day the time the year, What matter they to me these artifice markers, I weep carelessly, undone, overcome, Every day, but this day, most, united joy. Need-No reminder, I am a survivor, From a concentration camp That slow programmed to destroy, Perhaps the kindness you claim As the hallmark of my fame, An inadvertent gift, from the devil? You shook my hand on our first meet, Don't think, have I ever let go? Let me be your driver, entertainer, your only poet, Let me be whatever you need, Even as now, I laugh-cry, your tissue carrier. For t'is I who weeps and keeps These tissues as part of our history. You are the first, Who has ever read The Words of Us.

Pellets of rain pestered the cotton swagged sky, cloudy purses grew black with scowls coldly spelling their injustice. A chapter of sunrays shot shamesless shards, irony perched between chaperones; a truce maybe, rains restless pathways of rays bleating their appeal, rooming in, black balaclavas, rooting for blue beams, itching bony beads of cloudy sweat, out of reach In turn, limbs colour coated grassy spaces tides of sun worshippers laughed out loud their inner duets, hand in hand the sweltering dance floor bathed them, sidling cotton clouds Swiftly passing the sunscreen, laying back, beckoning the sun from beneath neatly positioned cloud baubles. Within an inch of our lives the splodges began, light heavy, heavier, to the swell of April in full tune Instantly the greedy green spaces groaned, ejected sweet harmony, rolled out goodbyes, tongued stiff breeze longing for its thirst to be quenched, and so torrents rushed in where fools once lay A lonely sunscreen bottle, remnant of warm minds soaking heat, long days teasing into belief. Yet April fooled us once more with beguiling banter, chorused a chanting cheating lullaby of lamentation

Beguilingly April
Streets painted with love Now stained with blood Allah, the all loving Has taught nothing but kindness His love hates the blood under your nails His love is benevolent His love is TERRORISM BECAUSE OF YOU Any news is good news for satin The Devil's name flashing across or television screens "Islamic State claims attacks on Paris" ******** You tarnish the name of peaceful worshippers You ruined refugees chances at a better life More lives will be lost at the hands of racists BECAUSE OF YOU This attack on the west has done nothing for Allah But hurt his followers And hurt their families Satin's satire stained the streets of love forever

Pray for Paris
~  i stand before this kneeling bench, no sanctuary of our making; its walls here open thrown, on stained glass windows found strewn upon the sand, its tide-washed, polished glass, my feet find holy ground; my sandals left at driftwood door. incense burns upon the wind, its salty spray is mingled, with my own upon these joy-stained cheeks. the worshippers that went before have built a temple out of wood, hewn, untouched by human hand, a steeple to the sky is lifted, and within its shelter, remnants of a ring of fire, smoke once lifted to the heavens by believers true; this church i see through salted eyes, this scape awash in teeming life, here i drink this living wine; its ebb, its rush, its living in each moment without need, to connect each dot, or even speak. i long to live at razor's edge, where sands and tides collide; the rocky shoals where dungeness, find sustenance and shelter; the coves where seabirds feed their young, above the sandstone cliffs; the bar beneath a setting sun, in flames awash in waves; find comfort ‘neath the storm-shaped pine, feel longing in the stinging air. these cheeks that weep, though want of tears, not in sorrow mind you, but in joy of freedom, the lure of siren alter call; of a close horizon on a misty morn, the haunting breath of orca, just beyond my sight; the bark of ocean’s lion, the roar of distant waves; with these my prayers i send, as i offer this my praise; this church of no man’s making, here i come for cleansing, to breathe the life that i am given! ~ *post script. by nature we are spiritual creatures; spiritual... not religious.  reading your sea-scaped prose inspires me; planning changes in my own life even more so!! it is said that we return to what we know best... the ocean calls...*

Go, dumb-born book, Tell her that sang me once that song of Lawes: Hadst thou but song As thou hast subjects known, Then were there cause in thee that should condone Even my faults that heavy upon me lie, And build her glories their longevity. Tell her that sheds Such treasure in the air, Recking naught else but that her graces give Life to the moment, I would bid them live As roses might, in magic amber laid, Red overwrought with orange and all made One substance and one color Braving time. Tell her that goes With song upon her lips But sings not out the song, nor knows The maker of it, some other mouth May be as fair as hers, Might, in new ages, gain her worshippers, When our two dusts with Waller’s shall be laid, Siftings on siftings in oblivion, Till change hath broken down All things save beauty alone.

Love's worshippers alone can know The thousand mysteries that are his; His blazing torch, his twanging bow, His blooming age are mysteries. A charming science--but the day Were all too short to con it o'er; So take of me this little lay, A sample of its boundless lore. As once, beneath the fragrant shade Of myrtles breathing heaven's own air, The children, Love and Folly, played-- A quarrel rose betwixt the pair. Love said the gods should do him right-- But Folly vowed to do it then, And struck him, o'er the orbs of sight, So hard, he never saw again. His lovely mother's grief was deep, She called for vengeance on the deed; A beauty does not vainly weep, Nor coldly does a mother plead. A shade came o'er the eternal bliss That fills the dwellers of the skies; Even stony-hearted Nemesis, And Rhadamanthus, wiped their eyes. "Behold," she said, "this lovely boy," While streamed afresh her graceful tears, "Immortal, yet shut out from joy And sunshine, all his future years. The child can never take, you see, A single step without a staff-- The harshest punishment would be Too lenient for the crime by half." All said that Love had suffered wrong, And well that wrong should be repaid; Then weighed the public interest long, And long the party's interest weighed. And thus decreed the court above-- "Since Love is blind from Folly's blow, Let Folly be the guide of Love, Where'er the boy may choose to go."

Love and Folly
Tossing to and fro as if combating a hostile sea/ dark thoughts cloud the inner sanctum of my mind/ the distress, the bitterness, the anguish, the grief, the sadness, the lonliness, the unfathomably lustful pain/ that I face burn with the intensity of the fires of hell that await me/ Guardians of chaos; harvesters of damsels come for me that I drown in their sins/ rip the fabric of my consciousness asunder/ my ***** sing an aria of sorrow, listen to the requiem of the ****** a miasma of death flood my bowels/ decay enters my womb and I plunge deeper into madness/  I'm an error; a fault of life as the demonic servants consume my flesh for what feels like a eternity/ as we desend in to the pit of blasphemy, defilement, pagans, and idol worshippers/ he deprives my spirit of the rightousness, tears it from its mortal bond and it unfurls into a ethereal cloud of emptiness/ being ravaged my capture looks off in the distance as if performing an exhibition/ with every touch I feel dead inside all the while the nightmare watches with a disgustingly grim grin.... This was written for a art history class inspired by "The Nightmare" by Henry Fuseli Tell me what you think of the interpretation!!

Filled with beauty. Filled with admiration. An admiration louder than scorn. These yellow giants stare at their goddess in awe. They’re happy flowers with smiley faces, sun praising angels. That when their goddess’s light is unveiled, they shower in her glistened kisses. Though when she leaves, they sense her absence, and are left with the feeling of unpleasance. Such graceful worshippers can’t help but embody the sun. Amber, a sort of honey glow color, within each petal, of each sunflower. Sky high, it’s green stems towers it’s environment. Towers it like an ocean-cliff. Vibrant and warm. As free as air, they stand tremendously stunning and yellow. That yellow. The yellow from a lemon. The yellow so bright, so alive, like their goddess’s. These yellow flowers, These yellow giants, Are the sun’s very own yellow guardians.

The pale ghost of dawn A grove of trees Faded derelicts Without leaves A tracery of branches Bent and twisted Shades of grey On a cold, grim day. Disaffection Evil minds online Contempt fro coquetry Worshippers of perversity A prelude to profanity Barely covering Membranes of morality On the dark side of the mind.

A Plea for Propriety
The fresh savannas of the Sangamon Here rise in gentle swells, and the long grass Is mixed with rustling hazels. Scarlet tufts Are glowing in the green, like flakes of fire; The wanderers of the prairie know them well, And call that brilliant flower the Painted Cup. Now, if thou art a poet, tell me not That these bright chalices were tinted thus To hold the dew for fairies, when they meet On moonlight evenings in the hazel bowers, And dance till they are thirsty. Call not up, Amid this fresh and ****** solitude, The faded fancies of an elder world; But leave these scarlet cups to spotted moths Of June, and glistening flies, and humming-birds, To drink from, when on all these boundless lawns The morning sun looks hot. Or let the wind O'erturn in sport their ruddy brims, and pour A sudden shower upon the strawberry plant, To swell the reddening fruit that even now Breathes a slight fragrance from the sunny slope. But thou art of a gayer fancy. Well-- Let then the gentle Manitou of flowers, Lingering amid the bloomy waste he loves, Though all his swarthy worshippers are gone-- Slender and small, his rounded cheek all brown And ruddy with the sunshine; let him come On summer mornings, when the blossoms wake, And part with little hands the spiky grass; And touching, with his cherry lips, the edge Of these bright beakers, drain the gathered dew.

The Painted Cup
Yes, tell us of your Trump love, your tough love; shout it from the rooftops while encouraging ****** in a mosque. Tell us how poetic you are, you the rearguard of fascist white power as worshippers are showered with bullets from above. You want to talk about cowards, or standing with the Sioux at Standing Rock? Let me hear your hypocrisy little miss sunshine, just one more time. And you, the defenders of ignorance, can kiss my po *** along with the ******* wannabe poets who hate the truth when it shines.

Trump love
Love's worshippers alone can know The thousand mysteries that are his; His blazing torch, his twanging bow, His blooming age are mysteries. A charming science--but the day Were all too short to con it o'er; So take of me this little lay, A sample of its boundless lore. As once, beneath the fragrant shade Of myrtles breathing heaven's own air, The children, Love and Folly, played-- A quarrel rose betwixt the pair. Love said the gods should do him right-- But Folly vowed to do it then, And struck him, o'er the orbs of sight, So hard he never saw again. His lovely mother's grief was deep, She called for vengeance on the deed; A beauty does not vainly weep, Nor coldly does a mother plead. A shade came o'er the eternal bliss That fills the dwellers of the skies; Even stony-hearted Nemesis, And Rhadamanthus, wiped their eyes. "Behold," she said, "this lovely boy," While streamed afresh her graceful tears, "Immortal, yet shut out from joy And sunshine, all his future years. The child can never take, you see, A single step without a staff-- The harshest punishment would be Too lenient for the crime by half." All said that Love had suffered wrong, And well that wrong should be repaid; Then weighed the public interest long, And long the party's interest weighed. And thus decreed the court above-- "Since Love is blind from Folly's blow, Let Folly be the guide of Love, Where'er the boy may choose to go."

Love And Folly (From La Fontaine)
Sir Isaac Newton wasn't "using his head" When the "aha moment" fruit fell He assumed it was gravity, an attraction to the earth It was weight and decay rate, no romantic pell Many scream "separation of church and state" In the Constitution you will not find that phrase But in a personal letter to the Danbury congregation It has been arbitrarily elevated to "law" in our nation In the Scopes trial Evolution was criticized Scopes was arrested, the masses cried "victimized" To play on the "heart-strings" of the "under-educated" Those worshippers of Evolution were placated Hypocrites obscuring all God-given laws Building a "strawman" with individual straws Satan has questioned all God's "thou shalt nots" NASA has filmed in a studio basement "our Astro-nots" Jesus' words have been futurized by Baptist dispensation Jesus said plainly it's "in this generation" Scripture is not a "wax nose" you can eisegete Exegete in the present tense Greek How do we equitably represent all voices, in a Public school system that claims they consider all choices Public schools don't exist, "special agendized" schools do Claiming universal intolerance, they're intolerant of truth Let us say in the "Dagon bye" to all "blessings in disguise" We'll be in[spire]d by the "blessings in the skies" We're all from Adam's atoms by God's sovereignty Lord roll my soul in humility, cajole my spirit patiently
