I remembered you wanted to see the clouds
for they are the eternal hosts of angels;
now I realize
they could be the special reason
for all your acts of gentleness.
Too often I long to unite with your fancies,

A sense of fullness saturates my being
as the thought of you caresses my spirit;
it seems a mystical off season gallery of masterpieces
suddenly unfolds spellbinding
every soul within its inspirational
range.
it’s the first morning beside
you…
it’s …
If I had to paint a picture
What would it be?
A Life full of happiness or a life just in vain
Is it a picture of me having my first bike ride?
Or an imagination of you being my bride?
Into an orgy of vanity
The world wildly spins
It’s advent antithesis
Symbols of extravagance
Dazzle the mind
Turning upside down
The shepherd’s hut
Not one knows what changed
History
A renegade from the scripture
It’s puzzle too mystifying
What de-spiritualizes
From the sacred station
Of the Passover
Generations perpetuate the
Rite of the dust
Multiplying at rates
Beyond the realm of reason
… the mystery of the yeast
This isn’t just a scriptural tradition
Neither a post-heroism dance
It’s the wine again …
Rise not
To defend your innocence
In wanton abandon you gave it up

It’s stark hypocrisy

Pharaohs sky empires build
All for the same reason
Cleopatra’s passion kiss
In the vineyard

Not even for a palm
All around empty space spread
Rolls and rolls of void unfold
Break me into the finest grains
Of sand
Better still into the highest grade
Of clay
For what worth is left in this
Tortured breath
Hosting a damaged soul.
I know you came for the
Pieces blown apart by violence and …
Staring at you intently
I begin to see the fossils of Calvary
Scattered like splintered memories
Across infinity
Painfully I could bear the heart-drowning
Spurts of blood from a
Mortality punctured shall
From the nail-riddled pains
From the scorched back
From …
You offer us
The reward of endlessness
In exchange for the crude post and nails
Of noontime
Absolving en masse
The indignities and infractions
Of civilizations
Including those beyond the sunrise
Just by your maiden cry
Isn’t it too much
A sacrifice
