Haiku about the Eucharist

I shall eat Christ's flesh
it shall Nourish my spirit:
he triumphs forever

Haiku about God's love

infinite love of God
poured out upon us
man neglects it

A Species from the Rooftops of Jerusalem

A swish from above is heard,
an inertia from your peripheral,
a tapping on your havens top.
Behold the abominable and wicked.

Illusive consensus.
Sinister shadow in flight,
what deeds do you sow in attics?

Foe of the Paraclete,
parrot of the ѕуηαgσgυє,
whose shoulder do you sit?

Oh black vector,
your Sender is unknown.
Does he manipulate history, time and space?

Not a religious poem, but a stab at one none the less.

Langue d' Levant

Yours was the obscure tongue of my youth.
Paternally familiar,
Though narrowly so.
And like my father’s mother,
I’ve never truly known you.
Was it despite you?

How easily am I filled with sentimentality,
When the air slowly brings to my senses
Your gnarled but beautiful melody.

And though I am 10,000 miles from my youth,
I am in a familiar place.
A strange woman,singing your song.
Her delivery, exquisite; Mannerisms, present.

I am filled with grandmothers house.
The kitchen table, cigarette-smoke filled air.
Backgammon and the yelling,
Which wasn’t really yelling I later learned.

Teta. Jeddo.
All gone.
I can say and believe I am proud of you.
But I am defeated.

One day the lord sent me a sign
And showed me a thing that was to be mine

One day the lord came to me
and told me of things that were to be

One day the lord told me with love
and showed me a spirit like to a dove

One day the lord said I'd be His
and told me to work with what is

I said in reply
Lord but who am I
A lowly event of the darkened soils worth
A snail on a plant
A worm on a tree
A sinner a sloth who never shall be

A silence descended
in which the soul spoke
and told me a truth
after which i awoke
for when life is ended
as with a pens stroke
I'll count you among
the blessed folk

I prayed and I cried
and wished that i died
for paradise seemed so far
but resolved for the test
to work with the rest
for the church and people who are
HIS

3rd poem
1st attempt at meditation provoking poem:

The slush of the wave
The howl of the wind
The darkness and cold as one

The thoughts of a vice
The cross on the chain
Contradiction!

The terrible iniquity between the rise and the fall
How one is desired while the other is sought
If any man is willing let him take my vice
And leave me with the void
in which shines only the sun
