The Clichés of Chick Flicks
oil and water
polarized
irritants
under the skin
back to back
stiff shouldered
defiance
anger’s passion
bursts into flame
consuming walls
of separation
melting away
divisions
igniting
love’s fire
sealed with a kiss
always meant
to be
same old story
same old lie

Surly scent of testosterone
muscles it way to the fore,
Daring all challengers to
break his hold and throw
him to the floor.
Sweet perfume and downcast
eyes, a strand of gentle curl,
the slightest tilting of the head
and iron fists unfurl.
Parting lips which breathe
a sigh; his head begins
to swim. An upward glance,
a gentle touch; knees
buckle under him.
Strength of gentle femininity,
uncalculated power,
caves the strength of any man,
causes massive bulk to cower.
Fragility it may appear to be,
but in the slight of frame
does belie the truth of life –
was from Woman that you came.
{Inspired by somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond by E. E. Cummings}

In Faith
empty chalice of flesh
set on heaven’s table
expectant of the pour

dermis cells of clay
marinated in
the drippings of birth
the sweetness of love
the poison of hate
the bitter taste of death
fully soaked in the varied flavors of life

Sad eyes of faces from the past set in weathered skin of aging brick
heat of summer bakes urban soot into the dermis cells of clay
harsh cold of winter winds causes huddled forms to shudder
set aside from usefulness, removed from active life

Weighty anchor of Fear
halts life’s progress
hangs on rigid chain
called Dread

sojourning soul singing solo song
seeks solitary shadow sounding
sympathetic serenades
singular sight sees serendipitously
searching…
so steady
so sure

Worn red velvet sleeps under
nodding curls of faded floral paper,
while weary hinges sag on cupboard doors.
Faded script of holy heritage
chronicles chapters of former days,
tangled roots of a sprawling family tree.
Tin types hold their secrets in silence,
refusing to refute the lies or tell the tales
of lives lived beyond the photo’s frame.
The quiet never quite slumbers,
in a room where history whispers
and yesterday sings her songs.

Unimaginable Love pours its richest perfume on dusty feet
Innocence drinks of death’s dark poison
Holiness breaks forth in bloom

He casts His shadow and we follow after it.
We grasp for it, in a vain attempt to reach Him.
We worship the shadow – never seeing the Man.
