HATE HIDES WITHIN LOVE

Inside the Trojan horse
lurked warriors intent on slaughter
Inside Pandora's box
the furies of evil
Inside the shining marble
of the Supreme Court
are 5 pen-armed serial killers
Inside gleaming Air Force Two
lay 81 birds plucked degutted
and vacuum packed
In the sea of love
are icebergs of cold frozen form

BUT LOVE GROWS IN HATE

Love grows in hate..
Seeds make fruit out of
  the blood of innocents
Apple trees turn the
  waste of forest animals
  into the food of God.
Icebergs melt in the sun.
Unfolds contempt
into content.
Bitter dead leaves
become translucent
pink spring petals.
Hell.. is the fuel
  on which heaven grows.

LOVE IS OMNIPRESENT

God is Love
Love is God
God is Omnipresent
Therefore so is Love.
If God is Omnipresent
God is available
in any selfcreated hell

SICKLE RECYLED

He put down his scythe and sickle
for he would no more cut
wildrose or honeysuckle
He would let God decide
when plants to recycle
amd instead into a trellis
he reforged his sickle

PINK SAILS OF PEONIES

The wind lifts the pink sails
of the peonies
but only their fragrance
into wind is set free.

(to gabstboz of WN)

DRAFT DODGER

Over fields of spilled blood
crimson and rose
and over the phalanx
of soldiers in rows
into freedom and nonharming
conscientious objector arose

B'S REWRITTEN

Unbidden
buzz in
the bloombibbing
bees
*

TRICKLING TIME

It is the trickling time
for the tiptoeing tide
to float in gifts which abide
beneath twinkling stars' ides
