When first the soul contemplates secret things,
A silent beam doth pierce her to the core;
Yet what she feels no other eye e'er brings
To light, though speech should labour evermore.

Deeper than speech is Silence, where unknown
The Nameless best is known, past mind and sign;
Leave thou a thread, or none: the choice thine own;
Some truths lie best entombed in Dark divine.

Save me, my Saviour, by Thy Grace alone,
Not by the deeds my sinful hands have done.
Thou willest me to save: Thou knowest well
The way to rescue me from death and hell.

Save me as Thou wilt, as Thou canst, as Thou knowest;
By Thy known paths, Thy saving mercy showest.
Upon Thee, O my Lord, I set my trust,
And to Thy holy will my spirit I adjust.

Do with me what Thou wilt; Thy will...

The golden hues shining 
on the deep blue waves reflect 
the opening of my heart
as I walk on this land,
the expansion of my soul,
as I breath in the air,
giving me everything 
I dreamed of and more;
A connection so fierce
I feel it in my bones;
To the people, 
the way their words carry flowers,
their fragrance so strong it transcends 
the barrier of language,
I feel it in my soul,

Blessed love can never be despair, 
For the Creator knows the heart’s hidden prayer —
Even words the lips refuse to bear.

The thoughts of men are fleeting, vain, 
Chasing dust, a dying flame. 
But Heaven’s law stands firm, untamed — 
Like stars in a soul unstained. 

Nothing is darker, nothing as dire, 
As spurning the light of God’s own fire, 
And calling truth a fleeting shade 
That...

To the soul that is proud, dark demons appear,
Whispering lies—that it’s holy and pure,
Or they plunge it in deep despair,
Saying salvation will never be there.

Who prays with a heart still sullied by pride
Sees demons arise where the saints should reside,
Taking bright forms, as if clothed in light,
To drag down the soul into endless night.

Without humble awe, none may approach Go...

Notes:

•The title “The Great Stink” refers to the effects of sewage and refuse being dumped into the River Thames during hot weather in July and August 1858. One might ask: what’s changed in the UK, 168 years on?

•Joseph Bazalgette was a civil engineer whose subsequent work on sewers helped prevent further outbreaks of disease.

Hellish waves have embraced me
To the depths of my soul.
The abyss takes me away.
My soul has become thin and weak.

Oh, my God, my God!.. Don't leave me.
Inhaling You, I exhale contrition
In the killing reflection of stars.

Let all words become non-existent,
Like burnt comets,
Like fallen leaves, let all words decay,
Turn into scattered ashes...
And only Your uncreated Word will...

Flying Into The Sun

What made Eve want the apple?
What draws moths to the flame?
Is it just instinct to want what we can't have?
With a garden of fruit before us,
What attracts us toward the forbidden?
Blinding desire, The lure of temptation?
The warm glow of having our own way.

The end result is the same
As flying into the sun.

Yesterday at mid-day,

this patriot,

so working-class,

whose troubles then

seemed far away,

would celebrate

Saint George’s day

with a pint - or two,

and a whisky chaser,

avoiding crass behaviour,

or thoughtless, hasty words,

with smiles for all,

“please” and “thank you”

being the order of the day,

differences forgotten,

Shattered heart like broken glass,

I want to go back and do it all again,

The struggle doesn't stop and I wish it would end,

I just want to blast off to hyperspace again,

Damn it D.M.T. where are you my friend?

Everyone says that life goes by so fast,

That shit is true and it's kicked my ass,

From the land to the sea, 

There are stretches of olive trees growing from cinders 

And a watch of nightingales humming Persian poetry,

Drifting skyward, looking for the big man who would perhaps lend an ear.

Atop the clouds, there's an Epicurean paradox 

Instead of the big man. 

Head cradled in his hands, he witnesses pirates from plundered docks 

Ravage his gold-stricke...
