30 days of Shadow

Day 1

Love my

My raining eyes
reflect smiley feelings
Im pressed to say
Nothing with guilt
My lungs hold despair
I inhale tobacco smoothly;
Exhaling poetry

My sensible ears whisper
to my melting brain
a secret of destruction
that the world screams to me.

Day 2

Bullets yelp past my dogs head
I hold my bitch closely
so the puppies can bark back brightly
one day, sometime;
we will bury the everlasting bone(S)
chasm deep
so the blood hounds wont smell our sins

Day 3

Pilots roar over cotton balls
Gently killing gentlemen
Boys litter the streets
garbage the world threw out
moms dirty bodied
but clean minded
drape their protection
over 4 year old eyes
tulips crown the dead kings and queens
rose-filled air sarcastically lingers
over rotting faith and hope.

Day 4

God is on this earth
ever present
ever loving
all knowing, all glowing
dark midsts flee before his spirit.
for love frightens the lonely
the devil rejoices in our sins
preaching false joy he enslaves us
1 hour and 30 minutes of high
1 eternity of suffering, and grief
The lord's veil is before our eyes
so that we may choose right from wrong
White skin can be worn by black men
black skin is worn by many

Day 5

Love is richest when we're poor
love feeds a family;
cabbage and joy
love feeds our soul;
with smiles for miles
love feeds the saints
the angels
the blind of heart
the sick of mind
dry of feeling
It gives quench to desert tongues
love pours over all unourished life
we grow from seeds
love is our son, the lord
our H20
we grow or dwindle
we live or die alive
Love loves lovingly

Day 6

Sadness condenses
in our empty hearts
and floods our minds
with depression
It sucks all our energy
converting it into tears

our sadness turns to hate
hate for ourselves
hate, hates love
it cringes at its image
it cannot be in its presence
it dresses in lies;
deceit, jealousy, pride,
monstrous guilt

Hate is happy
when love is sad.

Day 7

My light shines before me
lifting my soul from earth
showering my face
with dancing joy
sprinkling my eyes
with giant grins

My light is god
my light is my savior
I am a light to the world
I so shine
that they may see my good works
and work in the good
shoulder to shoulder
with my brother I swell
in faith and pure joy

Day 8

I knew joy as a child
she left me
alone
from age teen
to adult
I saw her one day
in my wifes eyes
when I got married
here pupils hugged me
warmly embracing
my loneliness
Joy grew in me
in my kids
in my life
love my
joy
Forever!
