Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: The Dark Heretic

In diligent search of God was the dark heretic, a master of the natural world and our father of modern physics. In defiance of the Church stood Sir Isaac Newton alone, cloistered in his office, clinging… To personal beliefs, of his own. Interest in “The End Times” was his lifelong, secret mission - His papers were intentionally hidden, from recognizing the gravity of his situation. In the study of Divine Prophesy, Newton poured incessantly over The Word, convinced that his Doomsday calculatio… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: When Will You Come?

Oh my Lord – When will You come? Will I be found, before my earthly life is done? Will I experience Your Resurrection Power and observe how sin You have conquered & devoured? It’s a win-win scenario, for me, in any case – As I long to see Your radiance, revealed at Heaven’s pace. To enter Your gates with humble willingness is real, knowing that I’m clothed by Your Righteousness. When will You come? Will I be found, before Death has finally succumbed? Although Your timetable has not bee… Continue

Robby Baby (Poet of Amour) The Prayer

The prayer... I felt the need of prayer, when I heard the tears of those who have not left any tears to cry, whose souls run dry in the ocean of doubt, whose hearts walk about inside a prison of pain, and answers or prayer feel like a bounty that will not come upon them again. I felt the power of prayer, when I prayed in the holiest hour, the hour of my own darkness, in which my own throne of happiness was usurped, and I gave of myself wholelly unto prayer, to that soul was… Continue

Cendrine Marrouat Interesting discoveries...

During my research yesterday, I made a few interesting discoveries: 1) If you have an account with Ping.fm, you can now update your page on a Ning network of your choice. All you need is the link to the network, your email address and your password. I love the idea! Now, I hope they will let us do it with more than one network in the near future. 2) If you have an account with Twitter and are… Continue

Robby Baby (Poet of Amour) The day love died, the night it rose again

The day love died, was the night it was reborn, as on that mysterious day, it fell to the swarm of an unknown force, perchance a malice of an army of mysterious universes intent, to send love into a forever descent, its scent of sweet flowers never to scent the senses of mortals e'ermore. Twixt between the hours of dusk, the time of twilight, that the world felt its throes, the death of love, as naught but thorns were felt, 'pon the hearts of mortals and immortals same. The… Continue

Robby Baby (Poet of Amour) The love

My spirit watches her, as she wanders to the stream, and she stops and wonders, as she cries with a hope, for she swears she can see the hope of love, flowing like her tears in her hidden dream. My heart beats, as my spirit ambles by to hear her heart beating, its beats strirring with the potentiality of loves existence, a persistent beat of hope that fades but never quite goes away... ...and I feel both my spirit and heart stir with an urge, to tell her that love is hers as… Continue

Robby Baby (Poet of Amour) The nature of love

The nature of love is the ultimate alchemization, it brings itself to the human mind like quantam states in constant flux. The nature of love is like particles and waves, in which our percpetion can change its very nature; we often do not know it, but our mind so often assembles the power of nature of loves state, as when understanding and compassion make love so malleable, so that if we find that our heart was not meant for another, it lets that other heart go, and when our heart grows hard, i… Continue

Robby Baby (Poet of Amour) Love Poet

I am a poet who loves thee, and yet my pen cannot find the words to desribe thine essence; I am a poet who loves love, and yet my pen grows impotent when thinking upon its nature, it cannot capture the fire of love in mere verses; the most beautiful cursives of my poetic pen, they would feel like curses when set against loves might, and I dare not set my pen to write this, as I feel love's power is outside the scope of my pens sight. I am a poet who loves the power of love, and yet my pen canno… Continue

Cendrine Marrouat How to get more exposure for your creations

Independent artists find it hard to get exposure for their art, especially poets and spoken word artists. What are the possible solutions?

The venues to get one's creations noticed are many and few at the same time. It takes months, and mostly years, of hard work and patience to finally hit the general public. I have connected with some of the most incredible artists and supporters in North America and have followed their tips and advice very carefully. And as a result, I received more… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Poem: Outside the Windy City

Outside the Windy City lives the Lady Finnegan - Carol dearly loves the Lord Jehovah and is a part of His earthly plan. Her heart has been pierced by God's Holy Spirit; for she placed her life before Him and has chosen to submit. Her adoration for the King has burst forth with heart's joy, from reading her great nephew's literature within the borders of Illinois. Now she's become God's messenger via her gifts of Joe's Christian poetry - For the fragrance of God's Love envelopes her with scrip… Continue

Robby Baby (Poet of Amour) Do I?

Do I inspire you as you do me? Do I inspire your body to overtake itself, to go past the hestitancy of touching lips, to go past the hesitancy of you touching your hands with mine, so that your body may finally feel the ectasy of mine? Do I elevate the feelings in your body, as your body does for me? Does this elevation make you fever, like the fever that runs through this dreamer, this dreamer that dreams of none but you? Do I make you want me, the way that I want you? Do your fingers tremble… Continue

Robby Baby (Poet of Amour) Of peace

I dream of the magical paradise of that eve of peace, in which our souls know the bounty of naught but bliss, and the blessing of peace is kissed upon our brows, and the prow of the ship that carries us to this land, it is inscription of that word called love, a love bountiful and undiluted, pure and unpolluted with machinations and unknown sophistications of the mind. I dream of this paradise as more than a dream, and I take your hand into the verdant forest, where only pure hearts can wash th… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Behind the Poem: Game Theory

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. Back in the Spring of 1980, I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a B.A. in Mathematics. I chose this discipline because it was my favorite subject in school. This poem is the first and only piece (to date), where I apply this learned knowledge. Back in February of 2007, I found a poetry contest - its challenge wa… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd Behind the Poem: Spiritual Irony

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I briefly look at the crucifixion of Christ - an event central to the core beliefs of Christianity. This poem was composed in February 2007, in anticipation of that year's celebration of Resurrection Sunday (Easter). If I were relegated to a single television channel, it would be the "History Channel". It's am… Continue

Joseph J. Breunig 3rd An interview with author J. J. Breunig 3rd

1. What caused you to write a book and have it published? Thankfully, I’ve enjoyed a career in IT (Information technology) for over 25+ years. However, I’ve been downsized out of a job four times – the last time in 2005, I was unemployed for nine months. During that time, I looked at over 19,000+ companies to find one job. With more jobs in my field being outsourced to lower wage earners overseas, I decided I needed an exit strategy from the corporate world to launch a more stable career and inc… Continue
