This one is from “More Ghost Poems”, another of my nine self-published poetry chapbooks circas 1999-2004:
God please take these feelings of fear
from my bones and my breath
until my time has come
to meet the angel of death
Take these haunted dreams
shadows in the night
Take this haunted heart
into your flaming light
So many words left unsaid
So many things to settle still
God please take me into your golden dome
Use me as you will
and then bring me home
I really like this!
XOXOXO Thank you Willow!
Nice, Jude. I can relate to that poem/prayer.
I’m glad! XOXOX
SKY HOME
Over the aeons one has gone the rounds
Left adorning the skies’ diamond diadem
Cut adrift in a floating garden of wonders
What the hell, eh: the more the merrier
The life of Riley in a sparkling glass house
One built of such stylish mirrored walls
Yet the duped indweller is unable to see
Nor appreciate the garden’s true delights
While passers-by enjoy the two-way glass
“Merry” is maybe all too far from appropriate!
In the meantime, plentiful pain and anguish
Yet fear not for “All’s well that ends well”
In time, of which there’s a plenitude (or none)
Waters wash away the gravestone’s inscription
Very, very nice XOXO
Thank you muchly. 🙂
