Fate Will Say...(+6)

“The Wicked Flee When None Pursueth,”

proverbs tells us so

 

The righteous stay in judgment’s light,

to harvest what’s been sown

 

Those prodigal delinquent souls,

that life has cast astray

 

Walk free the line tween right and wrong

—till fate will have its say

Lyrical Kill Shot

 

My words are a saxophone,

my phrases a drum

 

My stanzas a keyboard,

my rhyming a gun

 

The Muse is my bullet,

the readers a shield

 

The darkness my target

—its bullseye revealed

A New Ending

 

Will you die,

pretending to be someone you’re not

 

Will you live,

defending that someone you are

 

Will you remember

the last thing you tried to forget

 

Will you return

—to begin a new ending again

Before Tomorrow

 

To love, to hate,

fruition waits

 

Which mood describes,

which mood defies

 

Those things you feel,

 those things you say

 

Before tomorrow

—beyond today

Eisai

 

Who you are

and

What you are

and

Where your are

and

When you are

  is

 Why you are

  and

 All you are

  and

 All you are

      and…

Washing Over

 

Moments in the present,

hours in the past,

wishes in the future

—none of them to last

 

Seduction by the penny,

heartbreak by the pound,

rivers flowing memory

—waterfalls abound

Your Soul To Wed

 

Writing outside the body,

in the control room of the mind

 

The blueprints of our D.N.A.,

left for me to find

 

The root cause of the madness,

‘where thoughts and feelings meet’

 

No blood yet spilled, no demons killed,

free will lay sound asleep

 

The choices raw and waiting,

to be right but often wrong

 

My pen writes down today’s decree,

in the lyrics of a song…

 

“With eyes on fire you’ll see your way

through darkness that belies

 

“While remembering the sanctity,

this womb did once provide

 

“Decide with what I now endow,

your heart, and not your head

 

“To faith proclaim, yourself ordained

—and love your soul to wed”
