A list of poetry currently live on the blog.
In sleepless nights
Your voice I hear
A gentle whisper
By my ear
You speak of love
You speak of peace
Of vision found
And fears that cease… continued ->
She took my anger
And flew away
So now, I can finally pray… continued ->
Your love is like a sacred kiss
But never does it bring me bliss
Its mark is burned into my soul
Smoulders there as living coal… continued ->
Falling from the sky
Unsure the reason why… continued ->
Presents of mind
A single moment, defined
With heaven aligned
A prayer… continued ->
Quivering shakes
Trembling wakes
Heartaches
It’s a soul that breaks
Unseen hands
Wrap like bands
Sheltering strands
Hold in commands… continued ->
Come again, my gentle friend
From loneliness my heart defend
A moment sit and with me spend
To the present help me attend… continued->
My candle shakes
My heart quakes
Yet my face is dry
Raise my flame into the sky
While darkness I defy… continued ->
The words
Thoughts
Tears
I pray
Finally
See light of day
As they fall
Cascade
Flow
My aching heart
Begins to grow… continued -> Includes spoken word recording.
God, do you paint the day?
Splash the colours for our play?
What about the bluest Jay?
Did you smile on his making day?
God, do you paint the light?
Bounce it off the moon just right?
Give us shadows, darker night?
Fireflies to ease our fright? … continued -> Includes spoken word recording.
“I’m tired,” said the Body,
to its brother, Mind.
“The pain within this shell
leaves me so confined.”
“I’m tired,” said the Mind,
to its sister Soul.
“The heaviness I feel
threatens my control.” … continued -> Includes spoken word recording.
Stand on the threshold
the confessional of prayer.
Standing never kneeling
unbelief hangs in the air.
Say words despite feeling
no one is really there.
Recite the memorized
without feeling, love or care… continued ->
I asked the Lord to keep me brave
Hold my chin above the wave
Lend me strength to tread the line
Close my mouth to deadly brine
Whether rescue comes for me
Or in death, I am set free
I asked the Lord to keep me brave
As I swim above the grave … continued -> Includes spoken word recording.
A trail of empty footsteps
all around is whiteness new
in those empty footsteps
are all my thoughts of you
In the softest flakes
that drift on breath to earth
I hear lilting whispers
reminding me of worth… continued -> Includes spoken word recording.
The day I prayed to die,
I didn’t need any more why’s.
Wasn’t looking for reply’s,
there were no tears left to cry.
The day I prayed to die… continued –> Includes spoken word recording.
Fragile breath
a prayer tonight.
Shallow fighting for life.
Colorless gas,
absent of mass… continued –>
Something felt and
something done.
An action filled emotion.
Understood
by not a one… continued –> Includes spoken word recording.
Found in simple spaces
when lights have dimmed to ease
weariness of day from shoulders prone.
In the morning beams
where radiance sings
reserving stage for feathered accompaniment notes… continued –> Includes spoken word recording.
