The Lord's Angels

Have you but seen in the eye of the storm
The fury, the wrath, the chaos of the Lord?
He created, sprung from him-
the chasms of the oceans
the spitting fire of the deeps
the cold, bleak mountains,
the arid deserts of the east

As the serpent whispered its words of sin
Was it not a mere device,
A slave to the Lord's whim
As it slithered and squirmed in the dusts of Paradise?

Are we not what the Lord hath destined?
Cast upon us, chosen, cursed,
Etched in us the path of fate?
A bead in a rosary
A brick in a wall
A bullet in a gun?

Haiku

The hot breeze
         Like the whisper of a lover
                    Touches my skin.

unnamed

This blackness within me
Spreads its wings,
Like a scream
Trapped in a bottle
And tossed into the sea.
Every cell in my body,
Reverberates,
As I slowly enter a sleep,
A lethal silence.
Emptiness.
Peace.
