Best 23 Poems

Beside the still waters he leadeth me
Shepherd of my wandering soul
I do not want for anything, you see,
My shepherd has made me whole.

I have walked the treacherous path
But I did not need to be afraid
The rod and staff my shepherd hath
I can lie down in both sun and shade.

When I am tired and, oh, so...

MEMO for Destroyer Poet A Linda: 3. 20 p.m., 23rd April 2013 – Paris, France
  
If you are Red   I am Brown
If you’re not 
Then as one concrete painter using phonemes 
                 to another

Now we speak...

'Twas the twilight of the year 
     a twinkling tiara.
December 31st, digits dancing dunes 
     in the Sahara.
One, two, three, one, two, three, 
     it's a prance.
A numerical Irish step dance 
     given a whimsical chance.

In the calendar's corners,

Waterloo Clerihew 23-Skidoo

Napoleon Bonaparte
1769 Corsica is where he got his start
One of the greatest commanders in history
His manner of death a 200-year-old mystery

Napoleon played it close to the vest
With his armies he was always the best
But 'twas nothing he could do
When he met his Waterloo
Lived his last few years under house arrest

Napoleon drank the water...

I conversed with the lone demon,
Who had asked for redemption on an earlier day
On this day her voice was mightier,
More brave, and powerful
She dared not sing in the presence of the Dark Prince,
But spoke freely to me,
Inquiring on Christ and His sheep
She too, spoke to me with the Prince nearby
Unafraid of the consequences that may...

The Lord is my Poet
I shall not fret

He notes me down in white sheets of paper
He rhymes my life at all times

He holds the pen
He writes a new song in my heart
For His glory's sake

Yea, though I go through the 
valley of the shadow of blankness
I will not be afraid
For You are with me, 
Your...

The Lord’s my shepherd, my soul He doth keep,
I shall not want, for I’m His well-fed sheep,

In green pastures, He makes me to lie down,
Leads me beside still waters of renown,

My soul He restores, protects and feeds me,
In the paths of righteousness, He leads me,

Yea, though I walk through the valley of death,
I’ll fear no...

Chapter..........1..........Part..........2..........3b.

The mounted riders, 
they speed forwards,
Turvehr did kick with heaven's power,
his mighty horn tearing and rending,
His eyes,
afire with hates desire,
his coat, 
it did shine like the raven's wing,
when kissed by Sol.
He was the destroyer of the evil fire,
to rend,
this was his work this day,
his heart a living flame, 
pure hatred was his song,
to kick, toss...

Listen well to your heavenly father
He speaks to you from heaven above
His best intentions He has for you
His words are always filled with love

The Lord is asking for your heart
for that’s where He wants to dwell
so from there to guide and direct you
on the right path away from road to hell

Look to Jesus your saviour...

Sometimes you make it so hard to breathe, 
the tears start to flow again and yet i can still see, 
but your all that comes to my mind, 
the look in your eyes, 
flooding my vision, drowning my smell, 
my heart beats faster and if i were to compell,
my heart would sing in rejoyce as...
