When I'm gone


When I'm gone
and veiled
In green grass
When I no longer cast
a shadow under
the afternoon sky
And words no longer
the voice machine jam.

In that moment
of belief...
Flowery speech?
No, my dear,
Spare me
The Incense and Oud.

What need'd
a bone have
for milk or silk?

Heavenly Hug


Heavenly hug
Happily joins
Cohesive parts
Interwoven needs
Needing no coercion
Heavenly love.

Mercy kissed
Children
Falling in love
With the mother soil
Heaven held.

Nontoxic jokes
No more pokes
Poise in our votes
Freshly doused
Flowers
Shimmering, adoring
Falling in love
With the heavenly hold.

Heavenly hug
Happily joins
Cohesive parts
Interwoven needs
Needing no coercion
Heavenly love.

Those who blaspheme


In this world of tests and trials
Deliberate
Those who blaspheme the Lord
Their souls degrade.

It's a free world they say
And right they are
But the Creator so did make
These days and minutes to pass
An ordeal for those who walk His earth.

But those who blaspheme the Lord
All sense shut
Seeing but seeing not
Own voices alone exaggerate
Averse to stop
Or take stock by the setting sun.
