TRINITY

Even the sleeping genes learn
from their crashes with needles in eyes.
A candid house chooses to fade
after thinning of a blessing.
Legacy of a heretic
lives, dragging down the cracked joints
of a frozen mirror. The wild lips kissing
a tiger on mouth in black night of dancing spirits.

The raging bull decides to goad a raped
girl on white daisies of abandoned bed. All
the dead hunters start cheating the bandages
of a wheelchair, the trembling asteroids
start dispersing in cryptic dark. The world
ends with a kill, mourners lay wreaths and hand
out the cyanide capsules for future onslaughts
on the waking eyes.

At a time I wanted to flee away from you

At a time I wanted to flee away from you
but the remembering continually catches up with me
and your summer laughter resounds in my ears,
your heart beats in my blood
and from love nobody can escape
or even walk away
and it’s as if you are a part of me
and later this afternoon when you walk in the door
I will be happy to see you,
we will talk about the things of the day,
together wonder about the things of tomorrow
and at dusk we will see the evening star.

Ambush

I deeply treaded into your trap
and when I was in it
I did not want to escape and could not
as your arms were around me
and your lips were upon mine
and it was dangerous territory
were shots at times were fired

and words at times left holes like bullets.
On the borderline somewhere between love and hate,
we found each other as those that are wounded
and we could talk for hours

where in the long grass we did take cover
and at times we stood in the shadows of trees
to rest for moments, to hide in each other,
to look at the bright great white moon

and while enemies, lions
and female tigers were sneaking past
we tried to hide further from the barrage of fire,
from bouncing bullets of the good intentions of others
and we fled through an overflowing river
and almost drowned in it

and now that your arms are around me
I have nowhere to go and I am missing
in your love, your humanity and your body.

FANGS

Crossing the hate walls,
turning up the severed moon in stunning
landscape, you scatter the rose petals on ice.
One day I will find your frozen footsteps
of self-denial.

Now he has made the lines of stem cells free
for nymphs. Double helix will make the new Barbie dolls.
The cruel thing builds the dredged gravel difficult
to swallow on a price. I don't have bricks to
make a house of love.

His picture now hangs in the street. The
white smile no longer sails to wrestle with sun.
Stark naked, my luck now grips the black rock
of golden sleep. I will come back with
new moonrise.

Like A Fire Inside

The Truth of God I cannot hide, those Truths, hidden deep inside,
God’s Truth hidden in my heart; Truth to others that I must impart,
Eternal Truths God taught to me, His Truth which stands eternally,
God’s Truth regarding Eternal Life, which is found in Jesus Christ.

His Truth is like a fire in my bones, as my spirit within me groans,
To share this Truth with other men, that all need to be Born Again,
A Truth found in God’s Word, whether they have or haven’t heard,
Right from The God of Creation; grounding Truth about Salvation.

It’s a Truth that all men must heed, a Truth we are blessed to read,
From God’s written Revelation, written that we may have salvation,
All inspired by The Spirit of God, written by men upon earth’s sod,
As The Spirit moved upon men, the words of God they would pen.

God’s Holy Spirit works today, guiding men with the words to say,
As the Spirit moves in our heart, the Word of God we must impart,
For there are souls everywhere, who may think God does not care,
But, God sent His Son from above, to show men His endless love.

I can’t be quiet, out of my obligation, to The Lord of my Salvation,
For I am obligated to Jesus Christ, to share God’s Truth in this life,
A fact that just can’t be ignored, as others need to know The Lord,
With eternity truly real dear friend, they need Christ before the end.

For Those In Christ

Only those in Christ my friend, will see eternal blessing in the end,
Only those found in Jesus Christ, won’t see death, but eternal life,
The Eternal Life all souls receive, when in Christ they truly believe,
The very moment they trust in Him, Jesus, who saved us from sin.

Saved out of the world we live in, to life above, that’ll soon begin,
For when this present life is no more, we begin a life, forevermore,
With The Savior, Who died for us, alive eternally with Christ Jesus,
The One Who died but rose again, to give life to all believing men.

This life begins at our last breath, as breathed; we’ll see not death,
But, we shall enter into Eternity, to reside beyond that Crystal Sea,
Far into another time and place, when we behold our Savior’s face,
Stepping onto that Eternal Shore, to be with The Lord forevermore.

This is why Christ came to earth, to offer mortal men Spiritual Birth,
For this is why Christ came to die, to offer eternal life, to you and I,
This is why He became a sacrifice, so we could enter into Paradise,
This was provided by God above, through Christ, to show His love.

For the love God showed to us, one must respond to Christ Jesus,
With a personal belief, through faith, to accept God’s loving Grace,
A true acceptance, in your heart, and of His Church you’ll be a part,
A member of the Body of Christ, knowing you’ll receive Eternal Life.

Changing Attitude

True believers, who know the Lord, by the Apostle are implored,
To make changes in their life, to become more like Jesus Christ,
Through His power, we are endued, to have a Christ like attitude,
Putting in place all we’ve heard; life changes found in The Word.

Recognition is what we need, this, as we follow The Spirit’s lead,
God’s Word sharp as a sword, brings to light changes implored,
Change spoken of by Apostle Paul, are to be pursued by us all,
To be more like Jesus Christ, as we seek to be a living sacrifice.

Renewal is then not only desired, but, by The Lord it is required,
This, to renew our heart and mind, to leave our old ways behind,
No longer shall we be conformed, to this world but transformed,
Conforming to the will of Christ, as we honor God with New Life.

Replacing in our life old ways, with a newness unto God’s praise,
A new life substituting sinfulness, with our Lord’s Righteousness,
As we died for Christ, that old man, is now dead, per God’s Plan,
As the power of His Salvation, makes all believers a new creation.

Run hard then, this life’s race, through the power of God’s Grace,
Running in a way that pleases Him, the One Who died for our sin,
That we too can be a sacrifice, living for our Savior, Jesus Christ,
Living to please The Lord above, compelled by our Savior’s love.

Labor Of Love

Our service is a labor of love, as we witness for God above,
Here, there and everywhere, while the Gospel Truth we share,
Through the witness of our life, for The Savior, Jesus Christ,
Hoping that others shall see, for our Lord, a living testimony.

As God moves on the world, His Light, our lives must herald,
Seeing a change within our life, in this world where sin is rife,
That others see that Light within, our lives in this world of sin.
The light from the Lord above, as we share our Savior’s Love.

In this world so cold and dark, we must be for Christ a spark,
Of The Lord’s Truth and Light, in a world where wrong is right,
Turning some from wickedness, to The Lord’s Righteousness,
Righteousness that will prevail, that, wicked men today assail.

We can lead the wayward back, to righteousness under attack,
By the liberal minds of today, men who went spiritually astray,
Moving the wayward onto a path, that will see righteous wrath,
God’s righteous judgment friend, is what they’ll see in the end.

We must be the Savior’s light, pointing all from wrong to right,
In this world, so dark and cold, so The Lord, they may behold,
And like many humbled men, come to God and be born again,
Humbled friend, to by faith, accept The Savior’s Saving Grace.

No Room For Truth

Many have no need for God, a belief they defend with a nod,
With pride in their heart so rife, they will worship their own life,
Sitting on a self-made throne, they have a belief, all their own,
This faith that they embrace, discards God’s Awesome Grace.

They’ve no room within their life, for The Savior, Jesus Christ,
Heaven, they think they’ll inherit, not by Grace, but their merit,
Believing that they are good, as God they’ve not understood,
Having no fear of The Lord, His Truth, by them, goes ignored.

They may even dislike religion, but, it factors in their decision,
Being soiled by religious leaven, using works to enter Heaven,
But all of their works of pride, by The Lord God will be denied,
As all the work was done for us, on the Cross by Christ Jesus.

Some may say that they believe, but Truth they will not receive,
They even say that God is in all, denying a curse by man’s fall,
And all on the earth, they contend, will be in Heaven in the end,
With or without Jesus Christ, in Heaven, they shall see new life.

God’s Word makes it so clear; wisdom begins with a holy fear,
To know The Lord God is one, Who sent to earth His Only Son,
To be for all men His Sacrifice, so men can enter into Paradise,
And Jesus is The Only Name, in whom salvation man can claim.

BRAIN-DEAD

reading more between the words, my fractured
dream, identified by its teeth, begins to bite
in pursuit of an unknown fear, the river
becoming red, a paranoid delirium
sets out a scream under the praised
beheading of a jolted lover in the name

of a betrayal, a son goes to court arrest
for mother, in earth hour of unseen grief,
voiceless, vendetta between the pacemakers
of sick hearts, the horrible incest, nicked
and kept in a glass jar to be witnessed by
waxed faces of dying men rinsing the

heart with blood of fallen heroes; the honeymoon
of unborn centuries waiting in vain
