5.29.12 IF I HAVE A DOCTRINE LET IT CONTAIN ONLY THESE THREE WORDS- “THIS”, “IS”, and “HEAVEN”


This is the belief I chose. What of Love? Might it soar like the awe found in the first moment recognizing where one has landed? Might it urge we feed our brethren? Might it urge that we end all wars? All murder, suicide and greed? Might it take away our blindness that we might recognize the self-erected hell of humankind and realize our gravest sin…? Where was I?

(The sin of humankind is greed, the gravest, their inability to fully love. Creation’s acknowledgement for our loveless veins…

We can only tread so long until the cab bends with the wind and the rain and the grave sorrow of the tree.

(That’s where you were?)

No. I was not there, yet I know of its eternity. I have flown with the angels. I have fused my words with the sweet sounds of Love, and a belief emerged from under her grasp! I writhe, in Heaven, evermore…

I saw myself fall pray to my own belief. It struck me when I least expected it, it has danced inside of me forever. In all of Life lives this other frame, a spirit that dwells in all, connected with the truth of where they’ve landed.

This is Heaven, I believe. If I have a doctrine let it contain only those three words, “this”, “is”, and “Heaven”...

Memory is what humankind needs. Remembrance will serve her dance with all in the end. Love in belief and belief in Love. Anything else, might just be irrelevant. Belief had better come prepared to face the Truth, to rise away from our imaginations long enough to remember where we are.

(Where do you long to be?)

Beside my Love with Life and Laughter.

I’m getting sick. I feel the darkness swill my mind in righteous colors! My sweat and chills breed quivers of my stomach...

(Silence…)

I’m not supposed to be writing tonight, I’m supposed to be dancing with my Love…

Peace, love and goodness be with you, yours, all and the eartH…

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

Waiting for It

Why do they stay there, between war and peace? Sky’s tapestry doles out guns, bombs and rocks while flesh and bone swim away from the ache yet live on as the food for the murder of peace. Why do we hide from the truth as if it were an ogre while death makes a home inside their living and war dispatches a raven to their door, smirking with the teeth of empire? Why do we wait, stooped for another wink? The sky’s drapery has tossed down ample clues, peace is breathing in harmony with war. (Road-maps are useless to blind leaders.) Why do they hold there, hunched in the gloom? Hatred’s bird cackling with bereavement needs end. Are we not rightly dishonored when we fill its trough with blood? © 2007 mrp/thepoetryman

Laughter's Grip

They asked me to wait. To wait for God to come laughing, wait on His voice to destroy the golden temples of man, hold my tongue until His powerful breath was upon me, and from His loving casualties I’d at last know the Savior. They asked me to wait. To wait for God to come laughing, wait for His followers to die away their persuasive babble and the murder of Islam to breach the walls of the earth as the many damned souls drowned under holy laughter. “O! The Lord God is looming! On his way with God’s wrath! We are to take up swords and send evil howling back to die their well deserved and slow death! Their faces popped and spattered these words as they fell back, caught in His fiery presence, twisting their tongues into drivel and thrashing their minds in the glory of an Eden unlike any other. And then the snake planted his venom through the laughter of their gyrating madness. Tears emptied their pockets, spirits came crashing , and the anointed rapture of their making grew tire...
