Before Bed Haiku

Needing soft firmness

Lightly up or densely down?

Marshmallow or cheese?

And yet why not both?

Calmly swinging emotions

Cocoa harmony

God bless,

Bat Outta Hell

A forked tongue swifted slifted 

Tasted cheese in the air it lifted

Found a mouse in his domain drifted

And slithered near

The mouse gaily nibbled, nuzzled

Heard a noise and glanced up, puzzled 

Carefully searched with hunger muzzled 

To growing fear

Seen were scales, heard was hissing

Yet the rodent’s prayer weren’t missing

‘Save me, Lord, for death is kissing!

And wanders here.’

Angels bells unheard, resounded

Into the mouse’s body pounded

Wings unfurled, new species founded

Thus bats appear

God bless,

Honey Hunt

Flowers painted and remembered

Nectar tasted, dust encumbered

Through the blades of grass in the garden

Bringing back the liquid gold for them

Two pillars take the weight

The roof takes the brunt

Of the world’s hate

And the devil’s hunt

The Map is not the Territory

Linked symbols

Signs to signs

Any meaning down

Deep in the pines?

Does emotion weary

Angelic guards?

Are thought or will

Found in the cards?

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Me

Polluted skies hide the stars

Obscure the light in bands and bars

Of Terran glows, clouded and dim

But light enough to follow Him?

Stairs

Spiral leading up or leading down

Why is it harder to smile than to frown?

With just a little slip, several flights are lost

Eyes are on the ground always counting cost

When I close my eyes and picture your embrace

Or lift my sight to heaven seeking out your face

Neither slip nor count flitters in my head

Further up I am, further in I’m led

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Balance Issues

Slipped, only a little

No longer as fit as a fiddle

No longer healthy as an ox

Fell harder than stocks

Here

In an island of stars

In orbs of air, water, and dirt

Between Venus and Mars

The Son of God was hurt

Pentecost

Joshua Fahey 

Clear

Innocence, in a sense

Rebels against the rotting fence

Stands against, a world so dense

and blind that it cannot sense

Innocence

Joshua Fahey 

Midday Devil

Edifices forgotten

Worn with the wind

Fallen in the rain

Slowly stolen by sin

God bless,

Wasp and Bee

Can the eye see

The wasp and the bee

Before they take the liberty

Of stinging the knee?

God bless,
