“Stand In Fear, Of The Lord’s Justice” copyright 2010 John J. Rigo, upcoming book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

Posted in upcoming book "Passion Amidst Apathy", tagged , , , on October 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I stand with courage in the shadow of my Lord.
The Lord blesses me with His Love.
The Lord protects me from those who attempt to bring me harm.
His justice surpasses any justice man can render their enemies.
My enemies are fools.
As the fallen Angel thought of himself as a God,
he believed his own strength exceeded the Lord.
He shivers in fear before the Light of the Lord.
I kneel in homage and praise of my Lord’s Name,
with humble thanks for His timely justice.

"There is a Place in My Heart for You"

There is a message in my heart for you.  It is written by my Lord, Jesus Christ.  He compels me to render this message to you.

You are My creation from my very own heart.
I Love you beyond all eternity.
I have made a place for you to always be with Me.
Never will you fear again,
or know of sorrow.
You will never be alone again.
You will spent  eternity in the mist of everlasting love.
Take My hand,
step into the darkness with courage.
In so doing,
will the joy of light,
be before you.

“My Beloved, the Ultimate Servant” copyright 2010 John J. Rigo, upcoming book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

Linda, "The Ultimate Servant"

 
 
My Beloved just left.
The Ultimate Servant is she.
Always giving,
always receiving little in return.
More and more each day,
am I now believing that God,
must be a woman.
When she leaves on another mission,
of mercy and care for another,
I always find myself in sadness.
Never does it seem,
that I ever have the chance to tell her,
how much I love her,
and how precious she is,
to me.

When such pain goes beyond

metal against metal

pushing and tearing

beyond the tolerances of strength.

 

 

Truly oh what passion

lies within thee

when finding release again

in one who will truly love you again

in the truth of their spirit and heart.

 

Heart be still

mind be of strength

love awaits.

This time to carry you beyond

the eternal doors of joy and happiness.

“The Return of Angels” copyright 2011 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , on June 6, 2011| 1 Comment »

The dream returned.
Angels returning in my dreams.
There was a sense of familiarity.
Intimate in nature, centered in comfort and peace.
I felt loved beyond time itself.
Never to feel lonely again.
Never to have fear again.
It seemed to be a connection,
between the two Angels.
A dark-headed Mother,
and a fair-headed daughter.
They both hugged me.
They stroked my face gently.
They both held me close to them.
It was with a great feeling of love,
that I felt when I awoke this morning.
Angels returning to me,
in the night,
to let me know,
that “Yes,” 
am I truly loved.

"A Memorial Day Poem" copyright 2009, Revised, John J. Rigo, upcoming book, "Passion Amidst Apathy"

John J. Rigo A/lC, Registry custodian, Cosmic Top Secret Registry for ICEDEFOR from June 62' to June 63'

Your lips will move, and rendered me praise,
this Memorial Day.
Yet the words you will speak,
will not be from your heart.
You see,
you are a Democratic Liberal.   
In your youth,
you became a professional student,
in order to avoid serving your country.
The truth is,
you feel anyone who serves,
is a fool.
You feel differently than my Father,
in his own love of our country.
My Father came to his country,
at age sixteen,
on a boat to Ellis Island,
from Northern Italy.
My Father had three goals,
they were to seek,
“Honest work,
learn to speak English,
and to become,
an American citizen.”
My Father felt it was a privilege,
to be an American Citizen
of this great nation.
Today, I look about me,
at the millions who came to my country,
illegally,
and without any desire,
to seek honest work,
or speak our language,
or ever to become American citizens.
As head leader of our Nation,
you travel the world,
apologizing for the glory of our Nation.
To those who have worked hard,
lived within their means,
watch their own children serve our country;
you ask them to share their hard-earned living,
with those,
who hate our country,
have no work ethic,
nor honor toward others.
Your policies are destroying the fabric of our country.  
My fellow citizens,
who I have served,
with honor for my country,
do not let this continue and happen to
our country.
Step up,
at the voting booth,
this coming November in 2012.
“Let us take back our country,
from those who do not love her.”

"The Last Judgement Bench" copyright 2008 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, "Passion Amidst Apathy"

Posted in upcoming book "Passion Amidst Apathy", tagged , , , on August 27, 2010| Leave a Comment »

It was a long day of preaching and answering many questions by the Master.
Toward the end of the day an ancient elder of the nearby village asked the
Master the following question.
” Master,”  he shouted above the multitude,
“Tell us of the Last Judgement.”
The Master replied,
” The Judgement Bench sits before the Gates of Heaven.
On this day Trillions of souls will stand before this bench.
The total of all the eternal souls that have been born and died in eternity.
The scales of judgement will be in the total hearts of all.
Each soul will stand before all in total recall of all the details,
of their lives on the physical earth.
No trespass will be hidden,
no hurt upon others forgotten,
but revealed to all,
to see, to feel within,
their own individual spirits.
The sincerity of one giving up themselves
to Jesus will also lay in the balance of judgement.
To those, that the scales of justice weigh
heavily against them,
the gates of hell will swallow them
for their last time to an eternity of suffering,
without the light of God before them.
To those, who died with repent on their lips,
to those who gave their lives to Christ in their lives,
with deeds of love and goodness,
to these,
the Gates will then open,
to an eternity of peace and joy.
So, it will be on that day,
that all will stand
before the Judgement Bench,”
so said the Master of my life,
on this day.

“Signs of God’s Love” copyright 2010 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

Posted in upcoming book "Passion Amidst Apathy", Winner of Collin County Texas Poetry Award, tagged , , , on June 23, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Signs of God’s Love for us,
abound before us.
We must not be blinded to see it,
nor receive it.
Our lack of sight,
nor our ability to receive such gifts,
are lost to us,
by own very own angers,
and lack of forgiveness.
Only by becoming aware of our shortcomings,
in the eyes of our God,
with the help of Jesus’ individual Love for us,
will these many blessings,
become ours.

"An Earthbound Angel" copyright 2008 John J. Rigo upcoming "Passion Amidst Apathy"

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 2, 2010| Leave a Comment »

My Bride, Linda Terry-Rigo

She spoke of death, matter factually.
She told me what the afterlife was.
The detail was clear and without doubt.
An earthbound angel returned,
to quiet my fears and give me peaceful assurance.
Who was this creature that gave me this gift,
with such authority?
I had known her for over thirty-five years.
We have been together over eighteen years.
She is the wife of my dreams.
A true “Giver of Life” is my bride.
How blessed, am I, this day,
to have time shared with her.
Thank you God,
for this gift of life to me.
