Space Pirates

Channel deep under the stars
Sail upon the astral barge
Fight your battles, fight our wars
Then sleep whilst your soul's at large

Swaying

Little songs in gentle screeds
With their soft harmonic cries
Loving voices, quiet reeds
Playing sleepy lullabies
And all the world in deafening drone
Made of hearts stamped of stone
If they would listen instead of groan
To the peaceful angel sighs
Planting hopeful contented seeds




God bless,

Broken

Light surrounds and Day has broken
To fix the broken men who cowered
And reignites a courage spoken
Growing beyond a passing token
Fed by all the grace that's showered
By the broken man upon the tree
Who rose again on day three



God bless,

Holy Saturday

The world is silent
My heart is silent
The birds and beasts are silent
The mountains are silent
As is the sea
The very air is silent
In silence I hear the angels sing








God bless,

Holy Thursday

One last meal before we split
A tempered party of gloomy joy
But one last thing I do remit
My blood as wine, my body as bread
To remember me after I'm dead
With loving hearts, and with joy
Amongst our family I will be split



God bless,

Vulnerable

Here I offer you my heart
A piece of soul to love and cherish
My essence I impart
Whether or not you think it garish
You may put it on a throne
Let it enter into your home
Or betray me that it may perish



God bless,

I Hate to Sound Imperious

I hate to sound imperious
Or perhaps delirious
But, a question I must ask
Why so serious?
I'm not taking you to task
To unveil your canine mask
Rather I am curious
Why is it that you bask
In an attitude so furious
When my inquiry wasn't spurious



God bless,

Hope Heals the People

Let the leaves lie low and prostrate
Praise the promised prophet's coming
Call, crow the king shall reign
Righteous ruler raise our hearts
Hallelujah! Hope heals the people
Praise the promised prophet's coming

Cinematic Haiku

Warm butter with salt
Darkness before play of light
Tales of adventure

I Need a Hug

Rising from beneath the mountain
Of my heart, creates a poundin'
A sweet spring, a flowing fountain
Ever higher, ever hotter
Until at last I've got her
In an embrace
And see her face




God bless,

Exist

Tyrants with their universes
Bless with pain and praise with curses
Lifting pennies from the purses
Of existence

Cowards in their shaky error
Cannot ever feel the terror
And shun even the simplest wearer
Of existence

All such worlds within finite spheres
Are populated with cardboard peers
And drown in the owners tears
Poor existence

Such is Hell, such black inferno
Whereas in Heaven is the turtle
Whose head, out of shell, is fertile
To existence

Praise! Give thanks for the sun!
Give glory for even the smallest one
Of blessings showered His story spun
Praise His existence!



God bless,

Guilty No More

Silent before the judges, quiet of the condemned
Withering before the gazes of those who know my shame
Acceptance of any ruling, any punishment penned
For the accusation is true and I am one to blame

Weary of my crime, of sinning against my Lord
Tired of the struggle to lift this guilty head
Dragged along the road, stopping in a sward
I open my eyes to face all those who want me dead

Then I see the man, as quiet a one as me
Drawing on the ground between me and death
All the rocks start falling, as thunderous as the sea
The reaper running last with fear in his ragged breath

The man looks up and turns, a gentle grin he wore
"Your sins are forgiven then, go and sin no more"






God bless,

Nonsense Words I Got Out of an Old Book

Down delightful dapper doos
Wringing round ripper roos
Stretched stilted stingy stews
Brings braddled bro bruise

Meaningful Sum

Alternative ends to a mode
Means to an end down the road
Signs of numbers explode
By means of an end through a mode

Subtract what you add to the sum
And you get where you had begun
The means of such maths is to hum
"Ninety-nine bottles of rum"

Liberated Voices

Liberty, a grand old song, moves the mountains with baritone
A march that steadies travelers, a call that shatters stone
In tenor voice, liberty, lifts up lost souls for days and weeks
Within that charm, joy is spread, patience buffed, and courage speaks
Little alto liberty, soothes the weary and calms all storms
A peace of freedom, in freedom found, serenity in many forms
Light the way liberty, cries a high soprano bloom
Flowers are of liberty, alight her crown, adorn her room



God bless,

May I be Your Servant?

No matter how long the road
Or how long my back has been turned
Or how far time has slowed
I can't forget the one I spurned

Perhaps if I understood your pain
Or grasped the ability to repent
But no, I've spent my time in vain
To distract myself from what you meant

At the end of the rope called self-destruct
At the bottom of the barrel called the world
Seeing every last virtue, plucked
And my old straight back, curled

I've erred, messed up, I've sinned
Against heaven, and against you
My arrogance dried up and thinned
Whilst my need for my father grew




God bless,

Grey wet falling globs
Stick to the ground taking heat

Fallen Song

In that fallen song of dew
Find the strong, be they few
Find the weak, be they many
In for a dollar, in for a penny
Endure the sickly pallid hue
Imbued in the fallen dew


God bless,
