The Devil's Shoes (All Hallows Eve Edition)

The Devil’s Shoes

When my feet fit the Devil’s shoes
Each step is filled with misery
Doors of flesh slam open

Down dead end alleys
Trapped in the darkness
Set by my own devices –
I could turn at any time
And enjoy your freedom
 
“For I do not do the good
I want to do, but the evil
I do not want to do –
this I keep doing.”
 
Instead of the opened doors
By your gentle, soft breeze
Which also opens windows
I walk passed polluted walls
And break glass stained
By the blood of my soul –
Damn! It’s as frightening as Hell
When my feet fit the Devil’s shoes

But there is hope and forgiveness.

Arrow of Time - POEM of the MONTH!

Arrow of Time 

                                                                                   

Although time is a constant on planet Earth

It is relative to each of its unique inhabitants
From witnessing a kettle boil to a child’s birth
As if the arrow of Time is broken into variants

We can only remember the past, not the future
But instinctive action may come after inception
Although it seems Death punishes the violator
As if the arrow of Time provides our direction
 
Behind every effect is the cause of motion
Unlike every crime resulting in consequence
Ahead of the system breaks the correlation
As if the arrow of Time bows to influence
 
But yesterday cannot be a result of tomorrow
Aside from Grace as received from the Divine
When gone is grief, tears, and all sorrow
As the arrow of Time is temporal by Design
 
For this is the very reason the future is now
Construction for the redesigned community
Built on Love, neighbor for neighbor to endow
As the arrow of Time limits opportunity
