God’s child

 father, 

in me, is a fighter, 

of the sharpest wrath,


against they who 

incite my unproblematic mouth 

to dangerous dialogue…


…yet on this lonely January night, 

A new year 

of  bad & noble probabilities alike, 


I am asking you :

Do not abandon me to the righteousness

of my legitimate anger, 


Release me, your child.

from the folly of an indignant tongue.

and in prayer, receive , please my hottest lamentations.


(and let me rest finally from this insatiable rage)


and let no one, 

Not even enemies of worst transgressions,

suffer the vengeance of my unbecoming tongue…


And yet, oh God! 

let me never coddle the quiet of cowards 

teach me instead, how to speak, 


So the target of my words 

may absorb the essence of it all, 

And wether they repent or not, whatever they do! 


Oh God!

may I cheerfully abdicate  that uncertainty 

to your loving WILL… 


Amen

an ode to dead souls (II) ~ celestial orphans


 you see, 

 the world is in a monologue,

 talking only to itself,


 seeking creation, 

 probing nature, 

 Rattling the elements, 


hoarding Yahweh’s blessings.

on that proverbial table,

we fatten the diet of our senses.  

  

we, genius skeletons,

preaching God’s irrelevance

with boastful tongues, 


 the world is not looking for Him,

 A new year only resuscitates the

 the body’s dying vigour, 


I wish us, profound awareness of 

coffins, tears & final extinction?   

…we’re celestial orphans in a lonely galaxy.   


There exists a divide 

broken only by that Nazarene, 

To not pursue him,


 is to immerse the soul in sleep,

 a cosmic neglect of a beautiful God 

 to  blissfully die  into the irreversible… 


and in death, 

to forever reside there in that terrible unknown, 

alienated from a loving God.

Scilla's prayer

shhhhh, 

quiet now,

shhhhh, 


oh my soul, 

let it go,

let this demonic wave pass, 


let the poor child flee,

let her go to the happy madness of 

we who’ve  braved the chaos of broken hearts and lonely days


let the crying lady 

enter her era of silence and observation 

let her weep, weep, weep,  and suddenly stand!


let her run hurriedly into this abyss, 

let her  test willfully, the stupid of her curious,

shhhhh


quiet now, 

oh my soul, 

let it go...


she's busy and empty,

a meek little sheep, 

let it go...


let her seek this silly paradise, 

where the God she loves resides, 

let her walk…


let her pray 

let her try, 

let her find this evasive thing



* from the rising sun to the shifting moon*

everyday of her life 

Oh Yahweh! 


 meet her there...

An ode to dead souls


 

we're the dead. 

talking sceptres

giggling skeletons and monologues.

   

tongue is very soft & giddy. 

but the dialogue follows a taut path.

we believe in the speeches we ululate:


in this world,

the choicest path is to journey to self,

to follow the vocal heart.


appease its loudest desires 

and say oneday to the gods: "we kept the faith" 

"...finished the course" of this unstable little organ. 

 

and so we die babbling to the grave 

dipping the mouth in many many dialogues

summiting the apex of the world’s wisdom 


at our ashes we arrive 

tilling  the world’s monologue

gleaning from it, the glorious curtsy of men


approaching the grave, 

with loud ideas about the staunch cul-de-sac  

Moving into the ethereal, trusting the gospel of many tongues

 

renouncing the narrow path!

yielding to the many extremes of the wider road 

...amusing self …


delightful souls, we are. 

dying unrestrained

…slowly to the irreversible oblivion

Come closer love

                 shy glances

       mischievous whispers 

           sweet chuckles

                easy silence


           Scilla is looking for home. 


  giggling traveler 

timid strides

longest journey

worthy quest


                          to you.

  looking for you...

come closer love.
