Other Poems

Alone in a dark wood
breathing heavy perspiring
beads of sweat roll down my brow
eyes of red give me a scowl
my heart beats louder
my ears scream
my nose runs
my eyes refuse to leave
my hands freeze over with fear
the wolf is coming to eat me
He wants to put me in his stomach
I do not want to go there


dark woods


Burp belch look out
runny nose and stinging eyes
my contacts protest that my eyes are dry
blood shot contact coming out
must wet with fluid
saliva will not work
nor will apple juice
I will need artificial water
the stuff you get in a tube
a tube of plastic
a tube for anything
materialism
wandering in the waste land
burp belch let it out


exhale inhale keep on writing
tired fingers at the keyboard
poetry is not for weaklings
Gandalf jewels and dish soap
what am I talking about
random nonsense psycho babble
are these appropriate

Bolshevik

the mother land is worth your soul
never let her be disappointed
give her your all and never expect any back
your milk from your cows to feed the sister
the brother must go away to never return
leave the fodder by the barn
trust no one with a leg or an arm
Smerydakov is not a lover
wretched evil human despiser
count your money will it lasts
dust to dust even for paper
green or gold or silver waste away
only your soul remain
in what place should it stay
Chest wide open
the world can see my heart
what are my motives
are they for light or dark
will the come to pass
with the hand of God over them
or will the tail of the devil
plunge into my heart and soil all the plans I have
chewing incessantly weeping and gnashing of teeth
anger despair and bitterness
but never willing to repent
the simple path of grace does not appeal
turn from your ways and let me heal
your hurt and your sorrow
flow through me healing from the ground
herbs and spices so profound
profuse and proffered to my body
if only they could heal my spirit
the mushroom affects my mind
but not in a way that is meant for mankind
I need revival to be born again
a new man must come from within
from where will this birth take place
no man know quite how it happens
but the power of the most high
overshadows you and birth begins anew
you do not go back to your mothers womb
and it is not by human desire
but the will of God causes this fire
to light in your heart and never go out

Blackness darkness alone in my cell
the inmates never my secret tell
I told them one in a fit of anger
they called my wimp and I told them of my evil desire
I am changed now
I no longer want those things
they pulled me down
but I found a new king
no longer will I serve an evil master
but I choose the way that is higher
Charles my friend come join me
No thank you my lust is too strong
Join me John
My family has just started
What do you want first in your life
world or heaven
can you have both
you tell me
New Heaven and New Earth
they are recreated a new
all passes away with a big KaBoom
elements melt and fall apart
the electrons free themselves
and the protons depart
no one knows what happens to the neutrons
left to themselves maybe
what about dark matter anti matter black holes
what about worm holes and quasars
what about neutron stars and event horizons
tell me now while you are wiser
I know not the answer to these questions
My eyes have been blinded

Tell me about the trees
are they noble or grand
do they stand on their own
does God support them
he holds the universe together
what can science tell me of his master plan
what about non overlapping magisteria
can science answer how and religion answer why
but not religion a relationship we claim
there are numerous religions
but only one faith that allows a relationship with the Creator
Do you know the Designer
is evolution true
should it be spelled evil ution
are we made from much
what about abiogenesis
funny that Genesis is contained in the word
what do we know about Moses
did God use him to part the red sea
Did God really send supernatural plagues
or did they just happen by a random chance of nature
Did the water really turn to blood
or was it just a sea algae
Did the pharaoh choose to harden his heart or did God do it for him
is everything predetermined
or does God know the infinite possibilities and which will actually happen
Is the sky really blue or is it because of the way light is divided
Did Job suffer misery or was it just a story
does God make bets with the devil
do the angels really come before God
does satan go to and fro upon the earth
is hell in the earth is that the ring of fire
the lake of fire that will never expire
all who reject love are left with hate
all who choose bitterness over sweet taste
Dante wrote about hell from a catholic perspective
does  that have any bearing in reality
are demons real or just cartoons
Dare I ask if God has ever been wrong
or is it just human weakness to question the ways of the Almighty One
the Ancient of Days proclaims there is forgiveness
Do I accept his offer
Did his Son really have to die
am I really that bad a person
why even bother asking
when God tells us
no one is good no not one
all have sinned all fall short of the glory of God

Weeds blowing in the wind
carrying their part of the curse
why did God have to give such a big curse
there are more disasters then can be numbered
hurricanes tornadoes and floods galore
famines and pestilence and war torn countries
where does the human heart error so much
why do we have these evil desires
tell me about original sin
how can it be if there was no Adam or Eve
is the universe billions or thousands of years old
does it make a difference to those who want to be told
can we ever know without dying first
are all our questions then going to be answered
am i restrained but what others think
do I really have any freedom of speech
under what name do I publish my work
the true the fake or the pseudonym
onym means name from the greek base
I think but must double check this fact
does that mean I have checked the fact once but am still not sure
do I really need to do things twice
can I ever get anything done right the first time
do I type words without meaning
is there ever a cause for the pain
does the universe have a cause or has it always existed
is there an Unmoved Mover or is that the stuff of fairy tales
I heard a story where the big bang rules
but then someone tells me it was a big dud and it never happened
is our universe created by membranes colliding

Silly people running round
like hamsters on a wheel
yogurt in my grumbling tummy
fingers slipping on the key board
tongue feeling the teeth in my mouth
is that moss or is that grout
fair is foul and foul is fair
birds swimming in the air
fish reading newspapers
wondering when the temperature will rise
their children swim both to and fro
keeping away from the wind and the snow
hair in the sunlight allergen causing
that is why i got up to begin with
using toilet paper to catch a fly
did I find it or did it escape
spoon in a cup ringing back and forth
stare at the ceiling for all it is worth
logs of cedar
poles of pine
another one stares at the ceiling
ice crystals lake of ice
lice in my hair
ticks and spelling errors
why do they not list sugar
I do not know
reading a book about fish and snow
romance of people filled with lust
infatuation never agape
Eros without platonic
hair in disorder
hit on the butt
lieing on a couch
sentences getting shorter and shorter by the minute
but in reality they are only fragments
fragments of what I want to know
star dust or earth dust or nothing but incompleteness
is there ever a whole without a part
can all be divided
are there entelechies
or monads or substances or beings
why being why not non-being
what kind of question is that
one of metaphysics you say
tell me how many angels can fit on the tip of a pin
why does it matter
how can spiritual relate to matter

Money
the lord of men
ever controlling
never fulfilling
happiness promising
always losing
store up your gain
only to lose it tomorrow
used to buy things
get it when you sell things
only a piece of worthless paper
or metal that can be used for something constructive
enough on money
move on to others
other what you ask
that is for you to decide

Questions

Are two snowflakes really never the same?
If something goes up, must it always come down?
What is the reason people are scared of clowns?
Is there life after death or is this all we got?
Ask does two minus two equal naught?
Do two parallel lines ever meet?
Can we be nice to people we find on the street?
Is one leg longer than another?
Is sunlight a relative of moonlight?
Is light a particle or wave?
Do I really have to shave?
Are you fed up with questions and want answers?
