JEALOUSY

“Masquerade”

Eyes like fire…

Ripe with rage;

Hissing sighs of lustful desires

Ugly face behind a page.

Arms stretched out in serpentine guile

Lulls its foe with wry embrace-

Caressing tenderly all the while

Its venom sips without a trace.

Born of inadequacies of self;

Beware of those too eager to please-

Query their motives – their overtures too…

Laugh with them – cajole and tease;

Never hold your breath beyond a count of two.

Deflated egos over compensate…

For the paths that often bear left.

With actions conceived to ingratiate.

Courage to Stand Alone

BROTHER MAN

Brother man

Give me your hand

I’ve come to share with you

The troubles of your land;

Rheumy eyes tell your story

With troubled gaze:

That your stomach so bloated

Is with hunger filled…..

That your fields so vast and golden

Are as thirsty as the plains of Hades

That your kin who once garnered

Now prostrate before the king’s table.

Long is the way to the king’s table-

But short is the cable

To a brother’s heart.

Brother man-

Clasp my arm with your claws…

Keep on at your pace;

Come with me to another time

Come with me to another place

Where MAN does for LOVE

Things we often do for MONEY!

See who come there….

In dark robes and white collar –

Trying to sell an old story;

Hold it mister white collar!

Another time – another place

Give hungry man bread

And he will be glad……

To call you brother.

  MEDITATION

“Of water & spirit”

Face to face with

The ocean I stand;

In reverence – in awe

Of grandeur amplified:

Deep and wide………..

From pole to pole;

Wavy curtains shimmering bright

Horizons unknown unite earth and sky.

Tireless in her ebb and flow…

Mystical journeys to countless shores;

Weaving enchanted tales of

Tranquil breezes and capricious hurricanes-

I listen with intent-waiting my turn.

HOLD ON TO THE PROMISE

When in the walk of life

You have lost your way

And every road seems

To lead you the wrong way

Jesus is your compass

He won’t let you stray;

Look up to the savior

He will guide you home.

When your friends forsake you

And you’re all alone-

Thinking no one loves you

And no one cares….

Jesus loves you dearly

So the bible says,

He’s a friend who never fails

He’s always near.

Silence......

of the unspoken
word

                                                           

of someone

biting his

tongue

is as potent as the

venom it

conceals

                   TIME

Springing forth creation's bow.

Fleet its fletches like the orient beacon

As yet unseen in transient flow,

A moment's breathe in cosmic lore

Bears as with wings the eternal flame.

Still in constant reckoning, we humans

Our wits confounded beyond the pale

Each loaded capsules a hapless ploy

Consigned to tame the current's flow

Alas the mystery defies the quest
