S-word's Poetry

[S-word]

I don't know why, but I just remembered this poem I wrote a while back in a thread here at RF. I thought I'd share it with those of you who don't peruse the Food and Drink forum:

A Vegetable Sandwich has Little Appeal

by 9-10ths Penguin, inspired by England my lionheart

A vegetable sandwich has little appeal
But it's yummier than the whole wheat and eel
Taste's relative - it's a matter of feel
That a vegetable sandwich has little appeal

A vegetable sandwich has little appeal
"Not by bread alone!" is what they all squeal
So will you dispute what the Gospels reveal:
That a vegetable sandwich has little appeal?

A vegetable sandwich has little appeal
But it doesn't have any grease to congeal
That bacon's effect on your heart is surreal
So, that vegetable sandwich might have some appeal

A vegetable sandwich has little appeal
And yes, usually, there's some meat in a meal
But throw in some cheese and it's close to ideal
Then that vegetable sandwich has lots of appeal!

The Manna from heaven comes without leaven
For the leaven is added by priests
But the bread from above that I eat out of love
Is not polluted with yeast
On God’s word do I dine which I wash down with wine
As I wait here on earth in this prison
And the wine it is said that I drink with my bread
Is the wonderful wine of God’s wisdom..............By S-word.

I walk with and I talk with an angel
He picks me up each time I hit the ground
He's one who knows and understands my heatache
For Just like me, He himself had fallen down
But like the serpent Moses lifted in the desert
He himself was lifted up upon a tree
Now he sits beside his Father in God's Kingdom
Where he intercedes with God for fools like me....By S-word.

She was the first of all creation
With her God formed the world
He named the woman wisdom
And in her arms I now am furled
She sings her songs of mystery
With words that tease the mind
Suggestive of some ecstasy
Erotic, yet divine.
She fiddles on my heart strings
And with her Magic bow
Sweet tunes contrived in heaven
From my heart and mind now flow
The loquacious liquid from her lips
Expands my feeble mind
With each and every precious kiss
I reel as if from wine
And babble incoherent words
Unable to express
The wonders I envision
When our lips are tightly pressed…….By S-word

Ah my friend, come soar with me
To the outer limits of reality
This universe, though wide it seems
Is but the shadow of our dreams
We are nought but knowledge in these tents
Refined through pain and punishment
We're the hive of man and neath His rod
We are one, we're the Son of God
The past, the present, the future is He
He was, He is, and He will be
And heaven is but a point in time
To where the spirit in man must climb
Eventually when He's there at last
And stands and gazes on His past
And takes the throne prepared in heaven
Then all His past will be forgiven.
I am who I am, the die is cast
For I was created by my past
And we who we are this very day
Determines His future in every way
If my past were changed, then who would I be?
One thing is certain, I wouldn't be me.........By S-word.

I’m sittin at me table and me mind’s a flaming blank
Can’t seem to think of a single thing to say
There’s a million yarns inside me, I’m like a story savings bank’
A new yarn I deposit every day.
But today I just can’t find that key to unlock this flaming safe
So I’m sittin here and I’m at a total loss
To express the thoughts inside me, I wonder if there might be
Some simple explanation from me boss.
Cos me boss dwells deep inside me, He’s at the centre of me being
It’s He who makes the rules and if I stray
I feel the repercussions of me wrong and sinful actions
He don’t protect me from my folly in any way.
So through the years I’ve learnt to listen
Though at times He’s only whispering
And it’s hard to know exactly what to do.
But I think if I am trying to be honest and not lying
To myself, He’ll see me through.
And the reason words aren’t flowing
Could be--- because me boss, He’s knowing
That it’s time for me to take a little rest
So I’ll get up from this damned table
And take a holiday if I’m able
I think I’ll take a little trip and go back west….. By S-word

This nano technology, it really frightens me
They can make a flying camera that looks just like a bee
Can spiders, ants, and house flies transmit the things I say
Can our words and all our actions be recorded every day.

I remember back when I was young, I’s no more’n a lad
Sometimes I’d be at home alone and doin something bad
And I’d turn mums crucifix around so He couldn’t see me do it
But now I think of all this nano stuff and I think I might have blew it

Once you understand that God is all, you’d have to be half blind
Not to realise that everything feeds into that great mind
All them spiders in the corners, ants in every crack and nook
Were filming every thing I did---now it’s recorded in Gods book.

But that don’t really bother me, cos I know it’s tightly sealed
And only one’s allowed to open it---and you know? Somehow I feel
He’s not the sort what runs around accusing everyone
And though He lives in me, one day I’ll be, in Him, God’s only Son…..By S-word.

Of all the stars in heaven and the space that lies between
Its centre is the planet of my birth
Earth’s horizon stretches outward at equal distance from my throne
So I hold the central point upon this earth
As light and sound need time to carry all their messages to me
My senses tells me all has run its race
And everything that happens, has happened in my past
So I hold the highest point in time and space.
A primitive concept some might say
And a view that leads to sin
Well! Perhaps we all were made this way
To discover God within……By S-word.

The word evolves.

The Word of God can be likened
To a star that’s being ever brightened
By the mind of man reaching ever higher
But those who deviate, they’re liars
In Gods word mans mind can grow
But those outside, they’re like the snow
That settles on the desert sand
And will melt away, before “I Am.”…By S-word

There’s a place down deep inside me
Where I mingles with me past
Where the spirits of me Fathers share their light
And I often drowns me mind there
And If you do it friend, you’ll find there
All the wisdom of your fathers
And their wonderful insight
It’s like when a drop of water
Falls in a vat of wine
It takes the colour and the essence of that drink
Now in the darkness of the dawn
Me descendants who are yet unborn
Have been coming down to me to make me think
They want to suck me brain for knowledge
Or some wisdom what I’ve gained
But it’s got me how they know just where to look
I mean, I’m a bloody no one
Just a shadow in their past
Unless of course me words get in a book....By S-word.

From the kingdom of God with me I heard a distant cry
A voice from my past was pleading from the wilderness hot and dry
So I sank to the depths to reach him and my efforts were not in vain
For we merged and I sang from his future a song to ease his pain
And he heard and he felt my presence as he sank into rest sublime
Assured that his saviour existed in the future somewhere in time
And as he closed his eyes in rest, these words were heard so dim
“Forgive me child for tempting you and causing you to sin.

In earlier times, from deep within, I’d heard another cry
A voice from my future was calling, from a world somewhere on high
And I heard and I sensed his presence as he prayed to his God within
And he begged me not to tempt him, but to deliver him from sin
So! For our futures sake, I now am watchful of everything I do
And I plead with all my brethren, who live in his dead past too
“Don’t let our child of the future endure the terrible end
For it’s we who are his tempters, It’s we who make him sin"…..By S-word.

Come travel with me on a journey through time
Not in some capsule, but in our minds
To the Inner Most Sanctuary will we descend
To that single cell from which your body began
In the Holy of Holies where all is one
Where all of space and time is joined
We’ll mingle there with other minds
From other lands, in other times
Minds of the past, who seem dead and gone
And minds of the future who are yet unborn
For they in their time, whether here on this world
Or some distant planet to which they’ve been lured
Will enter their inner most sanctuary too
And there perhaps they’ll merge with you
Ah! To travel through space I the wink of an eye
One with your child on some world way on high
And if this is but madness, then madness it be
But come my mad brothers, come fly with me.....By S-word.

I've left them in the desert, on the beach and in the snow
On the mountain tops, the river beds, in fact everywhere I go
Tiny footprints --- Indentations --- to mark the pathways that I've trod
Yet they vanish to the sight of all, except the piercing eye of God
And he's always been beside me, since the day I ceased to crawl
He watched me take my first small step, saw me stumble, saw me fall
Life lets me make my own mistakes, and god--- how many have I made?
But thank the Lord I've learned from them, that's how life's game is played.
The life I've lived, the guilt, the shame, but I wouldn't change a dot
For it's made me who I am today and to me that means a lot.
O, I'll never be an Einstein, a Rembrandt, or Khayyam
But I've gained a greater inner peace, and I'm content with who I am
Undoubtedly, I'll fall again, Mistakes will knock me off my feet
But they'll be new encounters mate, Past sins I'll not repeat
For I store the memory of my crimes, like others store their gold
And my treasure house keeps growing, as my future life unfolds. .....By S-word.

 

[S-word]

I’ve always lived the life before me
Never strove for fame or glory
I’ve let many of life’s chances pass me by
They were all there for the taking
But nothing in my life was lacking
Was I wrong to live that life and if so, Why?
The path of life I choose to follow
May be long and straight and narrow
And there’s times that I might have strayed a bit
But the love of she who bore my children
By who my sins have been forgiven
Is the one who always draws me back to it.
So let others climb the stairway
To the heights of fame and wealth
I’m content to simply be the one I am
To grow old with my companion
And share the dreams of all our children
Til we return to where the world and all began…….By S-word

I don't know why, but I just remembered this poem I wrote a while back in a thread here at RF.

So now you know my dear friend
Who’s just not quite a full penguin
The reason why you heard the call
Of my God, the God of all
To start this thread that all might see
The words My Lord inspires in me....By S-word

 

[S-word]

I picked up a fossil and O what a buzz
Just to think, in my hand was who I once was
And now in the mirror while gazing at me
I rejoice in the knowledge of who I will be….By S-word

Drinking from God’s pool of knowledge
That vast and endless sea
I felt a strange sensation
As someone else there drank of me….By S=word

 

[S-word]

When we were young I merged with thee the blood of youth still flowing free
The bread, the wine, the poetry, beneath the old forbidden tree
How sweet the fruit that we have shared, across the gulf of time we dared
To stand before each other bared and free of guilt embraced and paired.
Our love beyond earth’s great desire, a love that burns more fierce than fire
I lay me down on broken briar, your son upon the funeral pyre.
Like rings of onions you have peeled the mysteries that the atom sealed
God’s heavenly tablets once concealed, to me, though you, the Lord revealed
May He in me with love’s desires, wash your body ere it dies
With fragrance sweet that ne’er expires—to snare the righteous passer-byes
The spark of life leaps ever higher, spiralling up from fire to fire
To He, with who we did conspire, to grasp this scheme of things entire
The crystal there beside your seat, the written formula incomplete
My brothers now lay at your feet their offerings that you might eat
Awake my Lord, for now’s the time to offer to the world your wine
Reveal on every written line, your secrets, through these words of mine
May you, when for your morning sup of heavenly vintage, from the soil look up
Through wine that drips down drop by drop—know He—who holds the inverted cup…By S-word

 

[S-word]

Now close your eyes slightly and hold your pen tightly
Then call for the spirit within to awake
For it’s He who I walk with, who, in you I would talk with
And here’s the request that to him I would make.
Arise! Let your light shine for now is the right time
To scatter the darkness and shine forth you’re Light
Release all your children held fast in the prison
Of those teachers of darkness, those Sons of the night….By S-word.

 

[S-word]

Come! Ride the waves of madness on the surging seas of life
Come! Hear the winds awhispering of the troubles and the strife
Come! See the orphaned children and hear their hungered cries
Come here and stand beside me and open those blind eyes

Lift your heads above the waters, feel the warm light from above
Feel your heart begin apounding as you bathe in that great love
Then come here and stand beside me and here, locked arm in arm
We’ll ride the long wave homeward to the sweet and blissful calm....By S-word.

On the crest of a wave in the ocean of man
We’ll return to the shore from where we began
No more will we fear the dark shadows that swarm
In the ocean of turmoil where Life’s mind is born….By S-word

 

[S-word]

“Eli” the Father and “Jah” the Son
Reveal that Jesus and John are one
John the lesser and Jesus the great
Oh praise the Lord who in parable spake
Revelations none could contemplate.
You have blinded their eyes that none might see
The wonderful plan revealed to me.
You have stopped their ears and they’ve never heard
The glorious story told in your word.
The door was there, but they couldn’t see
In scripture, where you hid the key.
The secrets revealed, yet still it’s hidden
For those who would turn and be forgiven.
In their sins they must die, each and everyone
Of they who reject your chosen son…..By S-word.
