Stripped Delusion



Stripped Delusion
It is delusion to rely on a horse for safety,
for all its power it cannot save.-Ps.33:17
1
Contractions of her memories commenced.
Catalogued pictures formerly honey-condensed
rotated quickly rapidly anxieties distresses she heaved
grieving the deceitful steps of ballroom lovers misperceived.

Where did time get a handshake poisoned?
Ordering actors’ guilty meals served to a past tired
of contentious minds winter’s abusive fights confessed
to street corpses in the linens of my life sorrowful alas retired.

2
Pity oh pity, in misery shouted…
Pleading my internal idols retreated
shipping pretty illusions castles amassed
to Sheol whose counsels fallacies my all grilled.

The limping sky screening how valued

my windows of hope have the truth desired
as I modeled Spring away for designers self named
until Gregorian chants my heart to the arms of God transferred.

3
O victorious music! my soul has listened
as you rescued me from the path disgraced
transporting me to adore the Sacrament blessed.
O unworthy me! Like Samuel my archived name called.

O wondrous day! my wastrels washed
my violent manners encouraged glorified.
Anew I walk stroll gracefully fiercely restored
genuinely magnificently as a Lady of virtues clothed.

4
O Summer of life renewed.
Adieu my delusions beloved
Here kneeling in thanksgiving forever stripped
I am of my illusions pour toujours in the ocean drowned

O Shining Mount Sinai, on your ground I stand resurrected
Perceiving the struggles ahead hopeful I am comforted
Dancers of the past my cheek their hands lured
Visions I hold firm of my life transfigured.

Eucharistic Communion

Eucharistic Communion
                 (inspired by Psalm 74:15-17 NJB)

Yearning is my dedicated heart
Only of you, it thirsts day and night
Uniting myself to your awesome wonders.

Revealed are the works of your hands
Everlastingly crafted in the flowery lands
Lavishly displayed in the plants’ greenery
Expressed in the anointed harvest’s delivery
Alegria! Farmers blissfully sing in the markets
Saints joining in celebration from their caskets
Encore creation glories to witness our fervors
Diligently increasing in our organic efforts.

Resuscitated are our once sleepy senses
Intimately united to your joyous promises
Viens Lord Jesus! In quietness us you speak
Enveloping us our baptismal guarantees
Renewed we are glancing at you a peak
Showers of your peace our ills it ceases
Stay in us that we may foretaste eternity
Undividedly testifying of your divinity
Now and all the days of our life to us gifted.

Let your compassion permeate our soul
Instilling in our ways a love for holiness
God of all gods! Heal us from our spoils
Humbly we will walk in your kindness
Triune God, one in three persons!

Forever you, O Holy Trinity, we worship.
In your mercy with true contrition fill us
X-ray my sins and my lips will of you sing
Echoing the traveling waves of the oceans
Distributing the gladness of the angels

Bystanders rejoicing with all the Saints in Heaven
Our carried crosses inspired by the Holy Martyrs
Unreservedly imitating the Immaculate Virgin Mary
Never a beloved one did the Mother of Christ desert
Destroying with her feet the serpents in our life
All generations unendingly hail her, the Mother of God!
Reassured in our Heavenly Queen Mary’s sanctified mantle
In her the temple of the Holy Spirit, we sinners refuge while
Earth reverberate her Wisdom, O Mother of the Eucharist
Sitted at her feet saints have outshined our Lord Jesus Christ

Entrusting this encounter with the mountains to you, O Lord
Admitting I am of your sacramental presence in nature
Restore us from environmental indifference for a holy future
Touched by the sufficiency of your grace in you, O Lord
Heaven earth us will love one another as you love us

Caring for one another striving for a Eucharistic communion
Raised is your majestic divine Charity O Crucified Savior
Enrobed in your merits God the Father shall be consoled
At the mountains’ sight your resurrection will to all be the
Testament of all the apostles preached endured suffered
Extending their faithfulness to your Bride the Church
Despite obstacles both to the body of Christ in its entirety

Since all things came into being through Him with Him
Unapologetically must we answer the call to in Christ
Manifest in our faith through our relationship with
Mainly our closest neighbor ignored mostly necessary
Essential to our daily needs groaning while awaiting the
Return of Christ our support for mutual holy happiness
Winning together the victory over all entanglements
Invitation given us to have dominion over the Holy Trinity
Never ending craftsmanship while boldly moving in
The protection of creation clothed with the Good News
Enwrapped around us apostolically in writing in oral
Resuscitated in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.
