Blue, Baby Blue

on tip of tongue

igniting thirst

elemental responses

moisture forming upon ready lips

Kiss Baby Kiss

just breathe

hungry lungs

drawing

essential essence of life

of living

Blue Baby Blue

widen my eyes

depth of sea

 oceanic embrace

Run Baby Run

into the arms of wanting Savior

eyes like the dawn

burning away dry fig leaves

stripping away excuses

revealing flesh

knowing self

intentions beneath reason

undefined horizon

Hush Baby Hush

insufficient words

from lips of men

dripping like honey

fall to the ground

there is no power

in the lies we speak

or is there

Cry Baby Cry

cleansing tears

starlight’s refrain

gathered in barrels like rain

swelling beneath the sky

blanket of night

the world cannot see

what it is

you mean to me

can they not see

you inside me

do the angels truly weep

Stop Baby Stop

the world from spinning

my hands from sinning

blood from spilling

death relentless

the pulse of humanity

of parentage and personage

within these walls of skin

soul longing to get out

reaching beyond

transcendence

life and breath echo wanting

needing

can you take me there

beyond self

beyond flesh

beyond thought

eternal

perspectives

ever changing

altering the inalterable

or so I thought

I am

or so He is

or is He

do my thoughts determine

His divinity

or divinity defining humanity

standards no longer

apply

to me

to Him

to the rolling world

gathering

momentum

Roll Baby Roll

down the green hills

into the water

eroding solidarity

Earth and air

water pressing

momentary touches

powerfully brief

licking away at the sugar coated land

dissolving elementals

revealing words that lay beneath

shallow surfaces

of face and name

in my name

expectation

so you know me

or so you think

knowing comes not through conversation

or momentary exchanges

do I know me

mirror mirror

shatter this soul

reveal the hidden things

of life past

threads of days

shreds laid bare

beyond the crucified flesh

though some of it may still live

it is dying

Come Baby Come

into solace

these arms once lifeless

embrace once more

dead men walking

fingertips brushing lips and hair

speaking words

I cannot hear

words inaudible

internal

resonating the will of the one who sent Him

they are one

entity

body

soul

mind

of God

in Him

in us

through brokenness

pressing down

pulling from the depths

separating

marrow and sand

creation and redemption

temporal vessels

clay

earthen

water pots

spilling upon the ground

what they were meant to carry

ability lost

in the perversion of it

gifting found the redemption of it

of me

of her

the Bride

was a whore

Mother of God

where is she found

in prayers of men

falling to the ground

can she not see

the mockery they make of her

does He not see

the mockery she makes of Him

Fly Baby Fly

above this worldly place

where men cannot reach

their fingerprints cannot un-scale you

shed the layers of unbelief

embrace created self

rise above

  groping hands

 those who long to possess you

Soar Baby Soar

above the clouds

beyond the moon

into the blue

Blue Baby Blue

limitless

undefined transcendence

from lips of God
