Michael Jordan Poet Couplet

Created By Choices

Something evil this way comes
Sure as the rising of the Son

A single heart left to bleed
A lost soul with a dying need

When love proves it doesn’t care
In creeps darkness and despair

Angry voices from deep with-in
Scream I’m a fool once again

I now make my soul like a cave
It’s the darkness that I now crave

Around my heart I shall build a moat
With blood sacrifices unto the goat

Deep in darkness as a soul can be
Father of darkness come feed on me

She destroyed the love in my soul
I do pray that hate fills up the hole

Troubled souls with hallow voices
In this life we all make choices

My choices have left me degraded
I now hate the person I created

Into darkness away from the Son
Something evil this way comes


Yea, I posted this for Deborah's contest.
Believe it or not this is who i used to
be. Poetry is a truly amazing tool when
it comes to change, it transformed this
into the man I am. All I can say about
that, "Praise be the Power of God".

Robyn Blauw April 18, 2009 at 3:34 AM Hello darling Michael. I know Ive been away, but have some time on my hands and wanted to read some of your poetry. Dont ever forget Michael, that without a pass and the experiences it holds, you would not be who you are today with the experience to help others; even your poems teach us. I'm pleased that you filled in that moat around your heart. Hugssss

Carolyn Devonshire April 17, 2009 at 4:47 PM Very provocative, Michael. I hate to think of anyone "building a moat" around their heart. As always, your faith shines in this poem! Love, Carolyn

David Smalling April 17, 2009 at 1:57 PM Redeem, we should all proclaim it, redeem by the blood of the Lamb, your poems are so great a testimony, and they shine guiltless as a soul touched by God. Bravo

Janetta Harrington April 17, 2009 at 11:24 AM i love the part..."around my heart i will build a moat"....how do we know not to fall so hard. i cannot answer that question....is it because if we don't then we have no chance at all. i love your poetry. lots of times i read without comment because i am incapable of even typing. thanks for your comments for my stuff. smile...janetta
