Alabaster and Gold, Coral Blue and Grey
Happily ever after, to have and to hold,
Love true found, eternally saved.
Soul felt banter, a joy to behold,
Sapphire hews, irrepressible dismay.
Thoughts hereafter, meticulously scrolled.
Hearts construed, morally depraved.
Winsome laughter, delightfully tolled,
Frightened, confused, distraught, betrayed.
Sequestered pastors, sins consoled,
Tight Lipped, confused, unable to pray.
Cerebral spell caster, futures foretold,
Immoral views, remorse conveyed.
Evil crafter, no defiance too bold,
Deplorable news, to lighten your day.
Taliban bastards, heartless and cold,
Sinister actor, evil portrayed.
Avoiding capture, selling of souls,
Floral blooms, cast in clay,
Invoking the rapture, lives controlled,
Choral tunes and chants replayed.
Kings and masters, nomadic wolds,
December moon, warm winter day.
Terror raptors, born from molds,
Dark at noon, wasting away.
Three benefactors, their legends pretold,
Psalms misconstrued, sung the wrong way.
Worn and tattered, subliminally cajoled.
Sober abuse, irreversible decay.
Nuclear reactors, secrets sold,
Atomic fuses, for sale on eBay.
Worldwide disasters, visions unfold,
Mushroom clouds, overcast fray.
Lavender, silver, maroon extolled,
Toxic fumes, a purple haze,
Time thereafter, loss of control,
Fortunate few, all gone astray.
There were Three Kings of Orient,
Who traveled to witness from a far,
The birth of a King and Savior,
Led only by faith and a star.
Borne gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh,
Forecasts of deity, light and gloom,
A glorified child, the incarnate Word,
His future traversed from Kingdom to tomb.
A new dawn's horizon, a second coming foretold,
The Son will rise to mourn one last day.
Embracing the rapture with unbearable arms,
Graced with Alabaster and Gold,
Laced in Coral Blue and Grey.
