Iron

 

Strike while it’s hot

Are you satisfied with what you’ve got?

I see your deficiency

Your lack of humanity

Your shadow is growing pale

Your moon begins to wane

Your dog begins to wail

Growing insane

Sink your teeth into a juicy steak pie in the sky

Recover from the lie

Without spot or wrinkle

A heavenly sprinkle

Which Way to go?

The one who isn't a dead end

 

Which Truth to follow?

The one who sets you free

 

Which Life to lead?

The one who sees it all

Keep me safe

Hide me away

It’s in your best interests

Shelter me from the storms

Protect me from the wicked

We’ll love you for it

Rejoice over me

Sing aloud, beat that drum

We give you thanks

Check me over

See if I’m defective

Keep me in your loving arms

Inside, Outside

 A 2020 poem

Wearing a smile

And yet a bag of bones

Putrefying, stinking mass

Bubbling, boiling

Troubling, toiling

Wearing a scowl

Choice morsel of anger

Arrogant, fetid mass

Self, righteous

Self righteous

WYSIWYG

Or maybe not

Is it in the eyes

Or in the soul

A whole hole

Inside, be clean

Outside, be bright

In God’s image

Shining, light

Shining light

Knit One, Purl One

A 2020 poem

Lonely boy

Steal a rib

Boy meets girl

Star-crossed lovers

Back to front

Opposites bind

Explosive energy

Sin-crossed lovers

Incessant blood

Deathly pale

The hem of His garment

Cross-crossed lovers

The Planet 3 - Mercury, The Winged Messenger

A poem from 2019

He is rising!
He gives you wings!

You fly high - on a high

Horses can be used for different things

Multi-purpose

A dancing horse that transforms

Gallops towards the Sun without getting burned

Returns with a rider in white

Bringing happy news!

Stardust, he flings and transforms us

A heavenly river he pours over us, refreshing

Golden shoes places on our feet, we dance

On golden pavements

Full of fairy smiles

We leave behind the myths

We become real!

We steal Pan’s pipes and run around

Background noise fades

Now come joy and jollity

Praise and glee

Now it increases without measure

Faith and hope shed

All that remains is love!

Our Lady

A poem from 2019

I’m sure I saw an aphid in there

Hankering after the tastes of youth

Sin’s delights were ten a penny

A cloud of not knowing replaced

Spotlessness too quickly stained

The blood dripped noisily from vein

Sweet, Holy Virgin let me stay

Sorrow for me, who once took flight

Lost and hurt and crucified

Now nestled in your bosom, praying

In everlasting folded arms, safe

Resting, eternally a child again

Living in two worlds

Amazing soon to see

Flourishing real reality

Victims

A poem from 2018

Forbidden fruit from a forbidden tree

It's killing me

Like second hand smoke

Like a teen on dope

Like a hangman's rope

Is there no hope?

An unwilling victim

Unclean

Clean

A willing victim

Gives hope a chance

A living dance

Clean enhance

Fresh air romance

Enlivens me

Delicious fruit from a healing tree

Virus-like spreading retro vibes

Wax candle wick

Don't burn your head!

Ah, Grasshopper

Will you walk with me?

To a better philosophy

Deity embracing humanity

Born vulnerable

Escape slaughter

His time not yet come

Grew in wisdom

Holy One

Long hair

Beard

Sandals

Before it was fashionable

Prince of Peace

Crown jewel

Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world

Kingdom opened

Loved us

Message diaspora taken hold of

Run!

Shout it!

Divine romance

Bride says Come!

Kyrie

Eleison

All our foolish ways

We humble ourselves

Lord, have mercy

Thin Gruel

A poem from 2016

You have loved me with an everlasting love

You poured out your heart

You took the body prepared for you

You were obedient even to death

No greater love

Your very soul delighted in me

Before I ever was

Before the world began

I was a twinkle in your eyes

Your love was your nature

And your love was your choice

Overlooking my failures

Overlooking my worthlessness

And you were strong

Mercy triumphed over judgment

And here I am

Overwhelmed

And my little sacrifice of praise

Seems like such thin gruel

Compared to the banquet

You have prepared

Milton Keynes

A poem from 2016

Satan laughed

But he's not laughing now

Turned pastures green

Into a concrete cow

War in Heaven

Chaos in Hell

Grids of boredom

Sterile prison cell

Angelic War

Endless Abyss

Urban planning

We all died for this

Tree of knowledge

Marital scene

Broken down

Nightmare

The hero falls

Cursed, banished

Rich legacy, farmland

Lost forever

Fallen Cherub

Modern living

Choked spirit

Enforced amalgamation

You are all one

Tower reaching to Heaven

Oh, for a Flood!

Economic revolution

Mitigate depression

Provide green spaces

Governmental hope for souls

Prediction of disaster

We are here to help you

Oh, War!

You destroy the human soul

Take life away

We wait for Paradise Restored

We wait

How long, Oh Lord, how long?

Another Song About Trees And Flowers

A poem from 1986

Here’s another song about trees and flowers

sitting in the garden but I didn’t know where I was

building up a barrier

defying all the love that you had given me

under the oak tree I sat and schemed

I didn’t know where this plan was leading me

seduced by the power of success and fame

I only wanted to build up my own name

Here’s another song about trees and flowers

sitting in the garden building ivory towers

shooting my imagination into the sky

never thought to ask why things were bad

in the world

whatever happened to my promised girl?

All those around me finding easy love so easy

but the Tower of Babel’s falling down

and I find that we’re talking a different language

Days passed

I’m wasting away

what can I find to do today?

Turn to the Bible, see what God has to say

Jesus loves you and He’s coming back some day

Here’s another song about trees and flowers

sitting in the garden, just discovered where I was

turned from the path of self-destruction

removed the crazy paving and replaced it with a straight road.

The Tower of Babel has fallen down

that’s why we’re talking a different language.

Now I don’t care about fame

I don’t care about success

I just want to glorify Jesus’ name

I’m going to do what He says because He knows best

The Tower of Babel has fallen down

that’s why we’re talking a different language.
