Poems (34,323)

I may not ease
your aching heart ;
or take the pain away!

But the Bible says
there's One who can!

Just believe and
take HIS hand,
He will stand by you
to face the world;
And calm your fears
and make you smile!

He died for you
to set you free,
So take HIM now
for eternity!....

He's every day the same,
Jesus is His name .
He'll forgive your sin
and clean you within !

Define strength.

Strong arms, holding soft wrists secure, not to Dominate but to allow you to experience the thought of Dominance.

Calm eye's Watching every emotion chase over your face, the Strength to not use force because He can.

Strength of mind to allow you the respect to yield on your own because force is never needed.

Strength is understanding it is only needed for protection of what is precious.

I had a dream, a beautiful melody
But now it's gone, just a distant memory
It filled my soul, gave me wings to fly
But now the silence, just echoes in my mind

The music's gone, lost without a sound
The rhythm's stopped, it's buried underground
The notes have vanished, into thin air
But the melody's still there, it's everywhere

I close my eyes, try to picture the scene
I see the stage, I feel the madolin in between
My fingers move, I feel the music flow
I hear the crowd, as the rhythm starts to grow

The music's gone, lost without a sound
The rhythm's stopped, it's buried underground
The notes have vanished, into thin air
But the melody's still there, it's everywhere

Oh, why did it have to end this way?
Why did the music have to fade away?
I'll keep dreaming, and someday I will Find
The melody will return, The music in my mind

The music's gone, lost without a sound
The rhythm's stopped, it's buried underground
The notes have vanished, into thin air
But the melody's still there, it's everywhere

I'll keep searching, for that lost tune
I won't give up, I'll count every moon
I'll find the rhythm, and let it flow
The music will return, and my soul will know.

Walking down these empty roads
My mandolin at my side
searching for the lost melodies
That are buried deep in my mind

It's like searching for a ghost
Although I feel them in my soul
I follow the notes that I hear
But they disappear like melting snow

I'm Lost in Hidden Melodies
That I've yet to recover
Holding on to the echoes
Of the melodies I can't uncover

I hear a whisper of a tune
But it fades away so fast
I always try to chase it down
But the music never lasts

It's like searching for a ghost
They disappear like melting snow
I follow the notes that I hear
I can feel them burn my soul

I'm Lost in Hidden Melodies
Of the music I can't uncover
Holding on to the echoes
That I've yet to recover

I've strummed my heart out
Yet my search persists
Each song I play my soul into
Each note played by wrist

Even if I never find them again
The melodies not heard but felt.
I'll keep chasing after them
Thier imprint on my heart'll never melt

Be ready to face the harshness of life. If you succeed, you will be happy, and I will always have hope that you did not give up, so you won

they said misfortune stalked you.. they said that life was hard
in the genetic school of poker
you were dealt the hardest card

a rogue gene: you misshapen henceforth they would detect
but all I see is beauty
in the poster I inspect

it was hard for me to process
I was new in town
I'd left a girl for the colour
of a certain wedding gown

she wanted picket fences
guess I was too remote
the only berth to interest me
was on a fishing boat

then I saw you in this poster
your eyes two drops of rain
I saw a man recoil from you
as if you held some blame

you followed me around town
I saw your face amongst the stars
I began to see you everywhere
in the licence plates of cars

you removed the night's wallpaper
to paint the air with sky
your beauty far too certain
to entertain a lie

so thank you girl for the memory
of the sky that melted blue
and all the pieces of your person.. stuck together with God's glue

I later met a Finnish angel
who photographed the wind
I sometimes see you in her work
as joy and kindness twinned

a lubberline in rougher seas
a searing bolt of spark
a poster hung inside my head
a friend in times of dark

To reclaim God under a deep black sky
in these times the heavens may shake
keep one hand on the wheel
the other on the crucifix brother
a rolling Reverend
into the night we drive
sing, sing Hallelujah
to all the earthly creatures
camped under a full moon
O be wise and watchful
the Devil may take his care here
yes he may loiter in these dark lands
but freeze him out my brothers
like the church on a hill
be steadfast and true
and not bent and deceived
yes we go down into the lands
of the downtrodden and repentant
to bring the light
bring the light
bring the light

Blatant partisanship
a loaded conversation
well howl at the moon
you dogs in packs
working with these critics
its four to one
you'll never get refuge
let them go down
like an old ship creaking
the sun will rise
for at the diplomat dinner
its lemon tea for Derek
and a shot at the moon

Rose are red sugar is sweet and so are you

on this particularly warm, windy summer day
with varied cloud formations,
which is why no sun-worshipers sizzle around,
give reason to enjoy peace and quiet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sounds under water,
which dodge movements,
resistance gives support to the d~r~ive;
Waving seaweed and grey fish stare with big eyes

welcome you in their element
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
crawl back onto land like a frog

Sun dissolved the clouds,
sunbathers´ greetings remind of cruel humanity
long for return to antediluvian
