Summer Storm Haiku

Sweet damp flavored breath
Walking amongst cricket chirps
Sudden pressure drop

Possibly

Possible Steps toward possible goals
Make possible things happen possibly
Actual acts toward actual goals
Require actual consequences necessarily
Only actual acceptance of actual choices
Will give maturity to youthful voices

The Beguiler

Pacifying purpose is a patent move

By the beguiler, unbuilder, whose boon

Sweetly sells scintillating sin

Undermining masses of medicinal motives

Wearying even wild wisemen

Corrupting even calm caretakers

Laying low even lively leaders

The devourer does destroy and doom

God bless,

>P<

Evening Sail

Lighting the darkness, on an endless sea

Towards the sun that set for me

Guided by the eternal star song

Bring me to where I long

Hunger

Those who hunger, empty, fallen
Those are who he fills, is calling
The sick, the weary, depressed, and dying
The proud, the sinners, lost, and lying

These are those he's come to feed
Human beings with human need
Human kings and human knaves
Farmers with hoes and monks with staves

These my brothers, these my people
Who he gathers under his steeple
Who he feeds with flesh and blood
And heals and cleans with graceful flood

Me and mine he came to feed
And beckons to follow his lead


God bless,

Playing Some Video Game Puzzle

Grave and somber mood fills the mist

As the zombies start to list

Then the plants start to rise

To give them a surprise

Working Towards a Smile

Working towards a smile

Whilst standing on tile

Cleaning over teeth

Front, back, underneath

An extra hygienic mile

What Happens After Playing a Few Games

Extensible ladders of ghoulish height
Giant claymores of sparrow flight
Gloomy castles of spectacular sight
March on, my friends, to death!

Mystic swamps of pinkish haste
Poppies flourishing in greyish waste
Millions dying for adventurous taste
March on, my friends, to death!

Erudite spawns of magic bloom
Into a spacious, carnivorous room
Along the heroic path to doom
March on, my friends, to death!


God bless,

Prayer for Mercy

My heart is scattered and stone

Grant me the resolve to atone

Peaceful Field

In a field, the flowers blooming
While my soul's darkness has been looming
Tis then I yield, in peaceful rest
Amongst the flowering colorful crest
Upon the field

My troubled soul and wounded heart
Soothed by the waters you impart
To make me whole, to set me free
By dying upon that gruesome tree
You paid my toll

O brother dear, I ask of you
To keep my mind clean and true
Keep my heart clear, and pure as gold
For when your wonder I might behold
O brother dear



God bless,

Leaves abound around

A sturdy seat and throne

Ritual

Ceramic gears and plastic grips
Rubber bottoms to prevent slips
Spoon the beans into this glass
Round and round grinding fast
Aromatic grains burnt black
Once its done, another tact
Bubbled water, steaming, poured
Start the timer, the kitchen's lord
A morning ritual complete
A cup of coffee, a sacred feat


God bless,

Pocketables

It is in the everyday weapons and tools

That separate wise men from fools

Nap

Something that seems so small
With whisps that welcome hugs
Can, from its height, suddenly fall
In cats and dogs, drips and glugs
Yet now it drifts lazily over all
Calmly sending me to a sleep sans drugs


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Look

Looking down and remembering 

What it means to sing

Of good news for my brethren

Who kneel before the King

God bless,

Joshua Fahey 

Good News

There's some good news to impart
A master of untainted blood
Has opened up his holy heart
To save us souls drenched in mud

A fact I know most gleefully
A truth I'd die for to keep intact
Repent, repent turn back to He
Who died for you most galliantly
To make up for what we had lacked

There's some good news to declare
A father of a wholesome son
Has sacrificed for our care
And now the debt is paid and done

A fact I know most sorrowfully
A truth I'd die for to keep intact
Our brother hung upon a tree
And shed his blood for you and me
To make up for what we had lacked



God bless,

Summer Rain

When moist air is like liquid
When walking is like swimming
Then an umbrella is used for paddling
As the air becomes liquid

Fear

They speak of fear and think of death
They think of torture and of pain
They think of loss of being bereft
Of all their spoils and gain
When they speak of fear

But fearmongers such as these little thugs
Do not understand the glory of fear
Their minds are broken half-caf tea mugs
And they slime every window and mirror
They don't know real fear

The fear that makes supermen small
That sees the quarks and atoms of trees
And the stars and comets, in the universe, all
And still dares to speak to the creator of these
A constructive fear

That allows growth through humility
Finds faith and hope through futility
That knows the lack of ability
This fear of the Lord


God bless,

Memo

Denial

On every day, in every measure

Lord, listen to my heartfelt cries

To deny myself untoward pleasure

To deny the father of lies

Grant me holy and righteous fire

Let me spit in that dark one's eyes

Let me praise you with song and lyre

And deny the father of lies

Make my very blood cry out in fervor

My bones to burn, my soul your prize

My lips and tongue your private server

As I deny the father of lies

And though I am unworthy of such joy

Though to you I may be of insignificant size

I ask that you purge me of every sinful ploy

And purge out of me all lies

God bless,

4th

What do you do with a beloved parent
Whose path has begun to become errant
Do you praise them drunk or sober
Do you praise them high or lower

What does honor require for mama
What does love require for papa
As they slowly destroy themselves
And leave any dreams and loves on shelves

Before their troubles turn to death
Before their darkness gives a breath
What can be done day after day
What can be done besides pray?


God bless,

Evil Genius

Burning metal in my bones
Finds a way to chill my veins
So that the lungs dulcet tones
May coagulate blood in my brains
While I evilly make finger thrones
And my eyes make shifty refrains
