Several poems; variety of topics. Enjoy! |
Misconceptions On my face you see a smile But its a grimace, hiding the pain You see me as the loner But im hiding, hiding my shame I cry, but you don't see You see waterey eyes instead of tears You think I shiver from the cold But I'm quaking with fear You don't see me You see what you "should" Im a beggar with no home But all you see is that Im no good Slow down and take a deeper look You can't judge me like the cover of a book _____________________________________________________________________ Child Wide eyes bright So innocent, but not Almost forgot in the starry, starry night Seeing and remembering Absorbing like a sponge Taking the plunge Onto greater things You shape and mold From thoughts, you see? Ignoring the plea The hand you hold Soon to come Future in retrospect Make sure you respect The voice of freedom _____________________________________________________________________ The Christian's Anthem As His people We are exposed But our views, on others, We won't impose Politically correct We soften our views Then in church all we're doing Is warming the pews At the mall,school, or work We're like everyone else So we don't stand apart Our faith we shelve But as God's people, Shouldn't we move? Our walk with him, We should improve We are called to go, So why do we stay? Share your faith, Do not stray Live like you're saved Account for your hope within Draw others to Christ So He'll forgive their sins So onward Christian soldiers! Fight the righteous fight Act upon your calling And sleep in peace tonight _____________________________________________________________________ My plea You're always helping others The glory not to God You play hero in your world But I find that to be odd You say now is more important Eternity can wait But for a moment stop to think What if later is too late? Today you're helping others Doing wht you feel you should But if forever is for real are you doing any good? Leaving forever up to fate? You put off what you should do today I've cried and cried to no avail Now all I can do is pray _____________________________________________________________________ The Easter Miracle He has the scars on his feet and hands From where our sins had nailed him He has the hole in his side From all of the times we've failed him But Him and God had this all planned That if we should fall That Christ, the only son of God Would die for us all Three days in the Earth he lay Sleeping in the ground But when Mary came to pay her respects Jesus was no where to be found Instead a kind gardener Calmed all of her fears Telling that her beloved Jesus was alive, but not here Just who was this gardener? This wise and holy man Why... he was Jesus in disguise! What a cunning plan! So to the 500 he appeared And doubting Thomas touched his side His resurection was complete There was nothing to hide Becuase he rose That's why we're saved Keep that in mind This Easter Day _____________________________________________________________________ Inkblossom Shrouded in the debris of life I am barely hanging on I thirst, and lust, and strive for light Yet my petals are withdrawn Covered in a murky sludge, That is society today I find it hard to carry on For strength I consistently pray Like a thorn among the roses, I prick most who venture near To the naked eye I seem a weed To many, my vision is unclear But soon the gardener will come And un-ink my blotted husk My inner beauty to be revealed Like the fading of the dusk So with my snow-white petals I will stand with head held high For through out the trials I've reamined pure To earn my place in the sky _____________________________________________________________________ Unwanted Among a garden of roses I am but a thorn They; so delicate and beautiful I; so plain and worn But wait! Someone picked me! He hold me gently like the rest Have I truly been chosen As his favorite and the best? No! Now I am cast aside I was not picked but pruned Strewn aside like a weed I am completely ruined. _____________________________________________________________________ The Plant It is growing Roots going deep Taking form in mind and body Thought to be temporary insanity Its undying power Cannot be matched The greatest man on his knees Left a sobbing wretch Simply because of it As soft as Babies Breath Gentle as the spring It brings joy Many faces, unending life Always has been and will be...
