Infernal Night

There was a raven haired baby
Small for his age and rarely cried
looking out with weak eyes
hoping someone will love me...

A mama not commited to being a mom
Young for  her age of sixteen
Wild oats not yet sown
spaced out on dope most of the time...
Thinks if I just put my hand on his mouth...

Never is too late to help

John Rhinem Date: 10/20/2010 10:01:00 PM Smile ~ Heavens eyes beheld; longing for the day that, is soon to be upon Us All now!!! ~ "Yes," reading these poes after poes day in & day out, I just want to put upon "My Lord & Kings Armour" as soon as I possibly can &, throw these flowers into the gutter where my own fleshs desires feel that they belong &, the day I die, will be but a blink of an eye from, my boiling bloods dreams come true; "Believe It!!!" ~ ....Cont:) Login to Reply

John Rhinem Date: 10/20/2010 9:43:00 PM Smile? ~ If "You" could feel how "My Blood Boils Inside" when I view these type of poes then "You" would know why, I find it sooo very hard to perform the possible purpose given unto me; why, I find myself as Jonah, running away as I long for the day that burns inside of sooo many such as myself and yet, "I Pray to 'My Beautiful Father' In Heaven Always" to, forgive me & to help me understand &, fill me with "His Beautiful Love," that I may endure amid this blind ~ ....Cont:) Login to Reply
