raptureness

the thought of you
rapture
everything you do
rapture
your perfect weight
rapture
caught up in memory's gaze
rapture
your eye's your hair
rapture
your laughter clearing my darkest day
rapture
for your love is nobility
rapture
bringing out the best in me
rapture
our love writes elegant poetry
rapture
romanticizing what heaven has given
rapture
for I thank the Lord above
rapture
for giving me only one true and first love
absolute rapture

Lynn my love

like a hard hit that can't miss
your love is on the tip of both my lips

though try I might to shake the force
I'm witless, out of ideas, and gladly amiss
waiting for your call and kiss

juicy be the syllable consonant mix
word that's like candy on my lips

its so great
like a treasure this pirate can't resist

I would deep sea dive for a booty
that gave my nose such a well smelling gift
all me shipmates would think this be to much trouble
for any treasure so often likened to madness

but I be the captain of this hear ship
and me lover be purely bliss

like a firewood gone blazing
her love is on my lips

so come here go there
and never a soul
will I find who's friendship and inner being
match her bar brawl skill, beauty and wit

I'm lost in her sea
given to love's storm
all my person raptured
love it seems is worth the grand trip

Authors note - For my love Marissa. My girlfriend who's voice and love makes me smile.

The piper did play


the piper did play
and some say

he saved a kingdom
united a land into one

the piper of whaletown
played in a blue gown
skipping merrily along his way

dancing with little ones
and very short nuns
the piper of whaletown
had all thier hearts won

then one day the king summoned
it seemed his anger flared
and from hades most certainly did come

for he was unrested
because of all the badness of life he won

play for me you gay little piper of whaletown
give me a song
or my wrath will fall on this land like dung

all the children and nuns
will no longer dance to your songs
with merry

all cheer will cease
like a matador with bulls horns stung

so play now
play quick little piper
for your king is bed with anger
your notes decide the dawn to come

so the piper did play a melody
wondering if his requiem mass
would next come

on and on his belly gave lovely note and key
on and on with harmony
on and on with melodic pleasantries

but the king did stop him
expresionless
seemingly unaffected
by the piper's musical stress

now listen here
the piper then gulped
I hear your song piper
and I do like
a song did bring melody
to a once dead life

it seems there is joy in dancing
it seems goodness can come from a heart slain
it would seem you are a medical practitioner
for a piper can cure pain

save me did my cloud


i never thought it would be
gladly
here i am
bare feet
legs crossed and gently sniffling
but floating on the trees

atop a cloud

floating on the trees
floating on the trees

nothing conquering we
happy here
up here

floating with a cup of tea
looking and windy

floating on a tree
top a fluffy cloud
not a trace of misery

nothing getting the best of me here
climbing into the stratosphere
thank you cloud
because of you

oops in the wind
there goes a tear

nevermind my words draw near

as I say and realize

I'll always stay the merrier

Author's Note: Jesus Saves

Truth stopped that day

Did you not see?
With arms violent stretched
With hands bare no wit
You reached forthwith
and attempted to tear down the whole sky

A silent pity
My father hears
His son cries
With unknown misery
Arms outstretched
You grappled and tried
To tear down the entire sky

But alas in that moment
My master did care

then forthwith a child billowed
And with a wet stint
God pierced the sky
Rain like his tears did drop
Angels with sunken hair flopped
All activity in heaven stopped
To watch Robert’s heart drop

dream car seven


dream car seven
I said to the conductor
upon the boarding way

on the train
its destination
nonstop to Bombay

am I alright I inquired
with all Ive been through today
can anything be seen clearly
can I hold onto anything my eyes want to stay

you see I'm a dreamer
a passing waking contender
a fighting man's inspiration
a sunny day without symptom

but today you see mr conductor
I'm a foggy whimper
a disillusioned sinner
a loose necked fearer

can anything be the way I thought it to be?
can this world give me anything but misery?

I stayed the course
I fought the fight
but still it comes
still with fright

with pangs of growling
and earthquakes that wont cease
this dream escapes
no shoes
all cold feet

I tire of walking
hair and sweat irritating my feet
giving up to abandonment
on a train
no more clouds will I meet

rain won't chase me
my parallel world will cease
in my car I'll forget a memory
nightmares will fear me under the sheets

for when I wake I will be elsewhere
no more quandary to seek
all my questions will be answers
in the utopia I find
on the better side of bleak

this be my hope mr conductor
this be my reasoning for our meet
here's my ticket with hand steady
now please
show me to my seat

wept for me

and then pain came
stripped the world bare
and pain came
left only with your hand
then pain came
everything ran cold

nothing here
only one step away from alone
just you hand now
making my home
gripping me warm
new to this known

your with me now
your hand in mine
together we moan

sky blinds

sky I see when I look up
so perfect so blue
I look up there is no folly
positively perfect
when I
look at you

then down my eyes come
like a downpour
ugh its nothing like looking at you

sky where are you I ponder
where are you and your blues
this down here is pity
no trace from what I see
no hint of you

sky don't ever leave me
don't be apart from what I see or do

because this world here is drowning in pity
nothing at all like you

Agnus Dei

It was in that moment I saw it
a construction of sorts
a defined building
a grandiose monument to his greatness
chiseled
defined
and wonderfully made

on one section he uprooted the unproductive parts
taking chisel and hammer
breaking the rotting corruption away

this man the grand designer
weaving a new world
out of iron and clay

so take heed this loving warning

give no room for self pity
not a word of damnation resting in thee

all glory to you running steady in perseverance
all praise

Undeceived

From me spoken to me

its wrong
so don't try to pet it
stroke it feed it or tempt it
don't look at it, touch it or covet it

listen here you were told to not do it
not trust in it lest you become it
its wrong so do not listen to your wicked heart plummet

what are you doing
you see who will be affected by your decision
your premeditated friendship
murderous fellowship
venomous partnership

for out of your quiet lonely solitude
a world is created
a entirety of mourners
a planet of tombs

so do not even attempt to bring me
to your sinful infirmities
your sickness and wordy platitude
I'm onto you
and all your shallow centrifuge

this ends today
no more endless journeys
my mornings
no longer wasted and used

Father, I know there is still much
that needs to die in me

be my shield
protecting me from that hate
crouching, waiting to dismember me

be my support
making my backs position upright
cleansing my sinful infirmities
perfecting me
till no chains
no separation
can keep me from your heights

this I wish
here where I am left wondering
did I miss?
the affection of my lover
could I have missed?

this morning it wasn't where I left it
in the afternoon when I looked
in it's stead I was in a state of perplexities and myth

my lover it seems withdrew it
this blood stain from the assassin's hit

could it be could it be
is this death's mule angry kick

where has it gone
I'm seeking my lovers kiss

left here with this thought that's shocking
did I miss?
did I miss?

Authors Note - Yes I did.

Hand Touch Life

this wicked soul life did not find
until touched by hands divine
separation it seems had grips on me
fatherless was the foster parent that did raise me

but when I sought him he brought me out
giving me the connection that severed

fear
chastisement
and doubt

but I now know exactly whose I am
the bond has fathered me
to you Lord my master

together

snow trail

I'm going to tell you I love you now
like walking on fresh snow
you're my home
we resided in our heart

trotting along a frozen alpine slope
falling from the sky are words of memories
bitter sweet is the descent

saying I love you now
gently walking on newly fallen snow
words so clean and fresh the smoke comes freely
dancing from my lips

so I'm saying I love you now
breaking in the tightly packed snow
looking back on our tracks
glancing forward wishfully
at where we've never been

ahead there is a lazy melody
a song hangs in the air
cutting gently at the silent wind

sweet serpentine. lofty things make me insides scream. this make me soft so call me cream. so deep inside she makes me clean. often saw before but salvation by definition is new... it seems. This thing feels wonderful. It makes me glow, sparkle, glitter, gleam.

Authors Note- I never write poems specifically about people. you have to understand to me writing poetry is the same as a pastor getting up on Sunday and doing a sermon. This is my ministry. I made a vow to not do it unless it was some one I loved or very very serious about. The love poems you see are to the love of my life. my girl Leanna. To be near her and to be with her is bringing me closer to Christ. That's all I have to say on the matter. Thanks.

I don't know

I don't know
I don't know how to be a better man
I don't know how and when to say what you mean
I cant read minds and I can't weave gold from thread
I fumble often
I curse myself much

my heart is crumbling and decrepit
not even more than much

I'm easily thrown backward
I'm hairy to the touch
but this my love is only the beginning
like I mentioned at the beginning
I don't know much

But I do know he loves me
I do know I long for your touch
seal that with eternal serenity
sealed with a cloudy loft

you see even if I don't know anything
how to do it
how much my smell makes it worse
all I have to know is I love you
then none can make matters worse


Author's Note One of the reasons (in my opinion) why so many look for true love is because the heart longs to be understood or "loved first". The folly is to hope in another human. God has already fulfilled all your needs. Whats more he has accepted you before you were born. He loved you first exactly the way you are. Knowing what you would become. The love relationship between humans is toilsome and vein. All the hours the lovers spend trying to get one another to accept the other. Frustration sets in because the heart longs for an instant. The same instant that is given to us the moment we accept Christ. In an instant of conversion we are given an eternity of love and denied and eternity of suffering. That is perfect love. There is the love we all long for.

what was that?
do it for you?
climb and pant for you?
decide to doubt doubt for you?
to know all is in control
all in awe of you

did you say I'm to forsake all for you?
to know without sight for you?
negate the fact for you?

for you I will do
speak to dark for you
instigate a spark of light
all knowing glow stirring inside
glory dancing around you
entirety acknowledging the disciplined truth

odd though that this
no longer then now this is
far from me to remain
parting with a thought formed
letting me grieve the grieved

therefore in conclusion
I am yours

Lord I want you to be near
so beside myself I start a silent prayer

my want be that I ne'er fear
and longing it seems kindles you here

so I wish your love to shatter me
I wish like hope all captives set free

I long for emotion with fervent praise
shouting till chords go horse
all adoration to him
all jubilation
a new exalt
a new sunrise
a new day

this day my eye opened
let it see through to you
I wish for a new memory
for my artistry to befriend you

I wish to travel the world with purpose
walking with my head tilted to sky
my want is to see my help beheld
by every man woman cripple and child

I thank you Lord for giving this outsider a part
please ignite me so I will always remain
put mine toes on a rock heart

for you I shall never be seated in solitude

and we danced in that room
to that song but not that night
twas day and we both know
there was no twilight

no moon to struck
just me and you
broad was day
my room slight

this I write to you
a record of what happened
what led us to where we are now
past present intensity

another not night

but until then

all men seek it
time bows in awe of it

madmen even fail to kill it
regimes have yet to conquer it
alas the moon itself speaks of it

fathers bear sons and mirror it
families are binded due to their debt to it
sisters drown brothers in it

can you speak it?

poets still write of it
over and again we long to hear it
heaven overflows with it
give in because now you wish me to speak it

over and again we flock to it
empires fall who dominate by orphaning it
this world would be a barron womb if not for it
all watch but few intimately know it
never smelling
staying odorless

men climb mountains thinking they will find it
searching countless shores wooing it
pirates leave their treasure seeing it
and again and again we encounter it
say I it or do thee know it
how much differently a name can one give a rose
when the difference is to hold it

it even escaped Shakespeare
what a great poet

what do I speak of

but we still dressed up that night
the people did war
but we waltz in our favorite hall
afterwards the bombs did confess a sweet still light

how could it be
walking so lightly
admist the war the world did fight

so yes we did
dance and move alongside fright
civil we remained
despite

and though we will insist few might

the apocolypse did not come
earth had no real disaster in sight

why you ask
do bomb shelters and rubble erase our midnight?
no we respond
the end isnt nigh
because we danced
we danced on with and through moonlight
caressing the union

this heart is yours
please water it

grope it
poke it
exasperate

confuse it
relate to it
play music with it
plug your ipod nano into it

but use it
its yours
so please
please water it

dont ignore it
when it speaks
answer it

Ill pay the bill
long distance charges are fine
this heart has an ok credit check
just dont leave home without thinking about me

finally

I say to you

You've been flirting again

banana was me

if I were honest id be a ripe banana
theres no more time here in the sun
no way nor room for here and me to be

my decision is one of an informed fruit
knowing exactly why I'm here
who will eat me
even the time I'll fall from the tree

like I said I'm a ripe banana
ready to make love to nature in harmony

I'm smarter than my creator
no patience is what I need

I know it all and have seen it before
nothing can surprise a fruit
with teeth


Author's Note:

Psalm 8

1 O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,[b]
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.

9 O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

writ

now late
in this hour
I wonder this
well two but the latter
I might almost let miss

will people wisen up
and realize the true nature of why I post this
why poetry is dagger
slowly ripping up
the perpertrator of said writ
each pen stroke giving clue
to what makes the creator tick

my second thought hopefully giving new life
to those who do not fear poetry
who give no strong arm
to the power of a written wit

my pondering seemingly takes me to a place
where darkness becomes light
after being affected by life's kick
seeing hope after the wind all but left my lips
speaking life after being sure thats it

to care
after the quiet dim light
was most surely about to quit

not from me
does this warm candle stay lit


Author's note: Creator in the poem is a double Reference. One meaning refering to the writer and the second God. The God reference is secondary but it refers to how writing can bring one closer to God. In essence if writing is worship (meaning you do it for God) then you find God when writing.

true love on thought

One wonders
do you know?
what makes a kiss meaningless
the element of its meaninglessness
when all your hopes are not recieved
left alone
loves romance not a conquest

I wonder
have you pondered
what makes true loves kiss not true bliss
feeling coldness after tasting spring on your lips

idle minds flow with dirt along steady streams
but i warn you with this
even though no man can avoid suffering

for a cold day in hell is in store for any man
who's kiss is later turned
to one man holding his warmth alone
wandering

the eleventh hour

and as that hour
boots laced
came and stormed
humanity spoke its same old song

"we search and look but do not see
we know what we want so to each his own mind.
just let us be."

but closer this hour did march
ignored it was
the cries above
telling all to one song march

mercy the few said
these people are too far off

but like chicken little love did plead
and to no avail
the 12th hour came
self
lost
nothing indeed

Author's note: a poem about the end of the world. The eleventh hour is a scientific term. It refers to the last moment before change is possible. In case you are wondering they all pretty much say that's where earth is unless we change the way we live on planet earth as we know it.

wip.warnerbros.com/11thhour

as this iron wall falls on me
breaking every moving thing you see
turning all to blood and grey
the wiltering world did fade away

turnt to the past of death
now embracing the requiem mass sung by graceful silhouettes

spread across the ominous caskets all aloud
all screaming
all shouting
this day you meet God

deeper I go into calamity
meaning all the while
this death be my only certainty

for the world itself has chewed me out
I have nothing left
no mind with which to spout

ideas ego pride
nor vanity
there is nothing left
no more
nothing


yet now
I see

the world will not end... you'll see

it's not a shame
for I am alive
and free
and breathing

nothing is dying
because

im here
thinking
creating
laughing
crying


Im not me
him
gave me no boundary

so then
I laugh
stay calm
rise
and ignore the nuclear bomb

the world will and might end
but I'll still grill some fries
with a side order of cheese
coke
smiles

how will you overcome the darkness and embrace it
to be with it is to deny the wondrous light

how will you stroke then curse it
for it knows no friend only enemy

a pity it is
your swinging heart wont win
for evil knows no boundary
and shows no man's land any quarter

the things i have seen
all from men who give in

even me and my poor choices
cost me an eye and a leg
which left my walk unsteady

so listen to words that I say
my child please take another path
today
away

for hate will take all you love
spreading dark on all those places you once knew plenty

in you


ill write this now
because ive no one to write it to
to all who went aloof
bringing a distorted thought through

to you my unknown dopamine
my love so sweet
with heart serene
eyes like golden tears
made for me
did i mention my body is mostly rain

lovely hips like dunes
my favorite desert scene

breasts like dew
after the morning is done
giving moisture to I that lay on the plain

lovely is your insight
integrity your presight

caught this beggar
one who wishes to be a man
not after the worlds heart
flexing my muscles
shaving my mustache
tattoos glistening
your manly man

together we ride into the night
heaven it seems
delights in a love like us

back and forth we ride into the night
labeling each star we hit that night
giving seed to the earth that night
proportioning matter into that night

you're lovely and it seems to me
I will love you for the rest of my life
but not for me
for him we write this unstorybook like delight

peddling a tandom through certain heights
this is whats missing
defining what we all know we want to
because we understand
we just might

Authors note: this is a love poem to all the lovers

seeking a distance


praying one day
the spirit of the Lord said to me

different from most you are not
because your heart is full of idolotery
pride be your sin of choice
thinking the best
of your motives
thoughts
moving backwards in what you seek

the truth of the matter is
you could be the robber
con man
murderer
or lying priest

it could be you that performs that date rape
or passes a bar exam because you decided to cheat

put you in the wrongly right situation
desperate and despondent
you would be in the farmers store stealing pig feet

to pure in heart to be the next mussolini?
then examine the hate i saw in you
just last week

and if a lifetime you avoid these giant monsteries
having no fangs or werewolf feet

an eternity of your centrality could be a misery
for kissing at a mirror
is not the same
as minding the clouds to guide your feet

pride is the tale
the subtle yet brief sin that grips me

contempt is me
ruling I do not know how to get along with me

accepting the smallness in state that pride developed this to be

loathing then loving the titanic
ship I will sink listening to the promise of rocky sea

when will I learn

good be life


good is
the end after long
the perseverance that made you strong
the long haul some call race
scars stretched across a battered face

defending the weaker's honor
when all around them wont be strong
not giving in
being the hope when all others call you wrong

its being there when everyone wont
not taking an easy road
not giving in
having ones life determined
by something other than crooked rote

for when I stand
on my haunted life's driven edge
on a podium i'll stand
with no prepared speech
my life will have said

he put two gloves on
with stance
shorts
and the will to fight
no words or pride to speak of
he simply got in the ring
obeying the bell
he fought
flew
and gave fight.

frailty


I am not a rock
I'm chards glass and bone
a fascinating thing
one who feels
proud
self righteous
hungry
poor
wealthy
pretty
hallow
and alone

no I'm not a rock
but I am just a being formed in futility and fragility
fused with the promise of a stronger caretaker
making my weak his strong

moon seen

a cloudy moon
is still a moon
indeed

reach

we build our buildings
tall and wide
futility it seems prevails
for it seems despite all efforts
our feet
never reach the sky

stellar memory

no
it's not going to be ok
but it is
knowing this leaves me out of my mind

dont worry I aint
even though it seems as if I is

i worry dizzy and spin
then carry on like I isn't

cry and worry till I'm no longer pretty
then go to balls and dance like a prince

hoping here and knowing this here
gives me fuel for disaster

no heroics here
no cape here
no surprise here
i'm as sorry as I sound
here

only thing
a look at a star my star above
thinking saying and knowing
there is not a weakness there
that light my light

makes me think

he shines
during all those times I didn't


Author's Note: for fans of Romans Chapter 8

fear green irony

be careful
for the thing you desire will be what you get
a little green girl wanted fame
but later on she became a silloutte

the boy who could whip together yarn
grew up
used his talents and moved out west
he wanted to make the biggest sock in all mankind
he hasnt been heard of since
the aftermath it seems
left him suffocating in lint

and do you remember courtney
with the lashes oh so long and pretty
her hair she thought kept her young
until it gave way
this happening
it seems is such a pity

the doctors would say
so long
aurivoir
auf wiedersehen
adu
such a loss they thought
happenstance giving this fruitcake
to a girl such as you


you see our desires make us
tall
dark
troll like
godly
scuzy
and witty

we're all fenced in with doubt
not remembering a time
with no fence
no trolls
no scuzy
just a God
triumphant
over our take on our witty

love not my thing above your desire


I cast my cares and my loneliness aside
shattered ideas
made with the world that teaches me pride
for you my lord jesus these cares
on a ferry
away
seated next to it my lies

one knee down
giving exit the air of false words I formerly admired
you
me
and
I breathe
we
together
will breathe now
till' it becomes
our not my

you and us
your life is my life
your glory
my desire

Im a mocker I am a mocker

in ashes

why be given a voice but no audience
a message meant but not be heard

strong as a fat man's belly

the tap dancing queen with no crown

this day
this sad day
as i glance her
posture positioned by her stance
gaiety lost
joy in search of her years
a tap dancer she was
but her life in my opinion was in tears

for her to dance was to make a dollar
no joy in it said she
for she hustled to make a dollar

her only sole reason to be

for in this world
we all lack
true but thats not the point to me

because to me the true pity
is to be able to dance with no joy
no fulfillment
in the grace that I see

do this to remember me

as I walked that day
I came across some railroad tracks
and near those tracks was a man
all alone
in the middle of a dusty town
and as he sat he sung alongside his guitar
struming
hope in his voice
and at this I did stare

with a twinkle nestling his eye
at this site I did stare
so I asked the man
why he sat
alone
and did sing

the man
sparks in his voice he said
for me a railroad is a memory
and when I sit here
my voice it feels travels for miles
a song is more than a entertainers footstool
sometimes if sung right
it makes the very world cry

for dirt roads have emotions
and empty towns still a face
the only songs made for vanity
are the ones we hesitate to make

what kind of God are you?
wanting true love's first kiss
from this earthen vessel
wisdom says
with my smooch I will miss

what kind of majesty are you
to stare compassion at me
knowing my heart will misfire
missing you
disgracing our bliss

what this is
and what I can make it to be
a perfect love
almost to big
to wrap my arms around thee

for love it seems
isnt a thing pictured by me right
I thought it clandestine
searching wrongly
not seeing it on that trip


the one where I traveled
when it wasn't so bright
so finding you
brought day from night

I love you
I love you

This Too Shall Pass by Helen Steiner Rice

If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be

If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me

If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too

Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains

That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.

only


a love so pure
dedicated
and meant to be

so long this thing
my unfaithfulness to thee
my heart still fashioned
to hold a matrimonial desire
its you my love I want
leading the narrow path


you

my only desire

mono culture


let's travel to this land
though the distance is far
we ought not forget
who we are
who we are

this sojourn be great
although we are at threats whim to be marred
this we shall resolve
to remain who we are
who we are

on the floating ship
past gates made with foggy day
packing in suitcase insurmountable odds
when our clothes we unfold at ports not ours
we shall stay and ready with this saying

we shall remain
who we are
who we are
