Best Certainty Poems

He's infuriatingly...

my bottom lip with the hunger that resides in...

He rolled me over and kissed my dreams, his mouth became my salvation and I nailed myself
to the bedpost as we...

In the loss of expectation,
for a loved one, a lovely dream;
one that is, one that will be, one that will depart. 
We grieve, we wonder, we imagine.
We wonder about what might have been, 
we imagine what could have been.
Yet, in the uncertainty of what might...

express uncertainty when

Certainty

Can Grace be real if God is not?
These days I think of this a lot!
If God is not and Death's the end
I've not a clue and won't pretend
To know what's true except that you
Will not gain much by killing me,
In this at least, some certainty!

But...

Cut your teeth on a sure thing and they’ll all fall out, too soon.

The gambler loses a lifetime, while the diligent will succeed.

The only certainty; the sure thing, in this life, si death.

As adults we walk around the streets and parks
with a face saying “I know where I’m going,”
“I know what I’m doing”.
Timetables, manuals, diaries, and journals somehow
find themselves in our pockets,
as form of reassurance for “I know what I’m doing” slogan.
Other times    ...

collects his benefits from hole in the wall

Luck is on his side, that's his school of thought

His mate has given him a hot tip, good man Paul

the stable lad, he's in the know well he ought 

Because he said put your shirt on this one

Good sense suppose of all things equally shared,
everyone’s abundance of thoughts much cared.
Those who are most difficult to satisfy,
larger measure of doubt in mental sky.
Sense of reason by diversity and consequence,
some endowed with larger shares and righteous reference.
The well conducted mind by natural equality applied,
likewise...

In this life, there's so much fake reality
but real living reality is possible to know
here Abram shows in what he received
was for real as much as falls of snow

God's word is living and active then and now
as Abram was told God is your great shield
bringing...

Yesterday , I woke up frozen
In sorrow cubes
Scattered on the ground
To trample underfoot
The certainty of sprouts
Rooted in the fear of crowd
That is sorry , tired
Of the designs of a dream
Of peace and freedom
Embedded in the pulley
Of brotherhood acts


Today , I woke up frozen
In cubes of...

THE CERTAINTY? 

Every Sunday at 10.35, whatever the season,
The elderly couple from down the road walk by on their way to Matins.
It used to be 10.45 in their prime but, as age creeps on, it takes more time to get there.
He still wears a suit...

I’m sure I know with certainty,
That I know quite much, uncertainly.
The age born birth did behold
Trepidations of great certain cold.
Please grant me warm uncertainty,
Where I know my sweet bliss, certainty....

When doubts and drawbacks struggle in the mind
And certainty seems but a demon dream,
When the faith to love is what no-one can find
For even when asleep, the mind still schemes.

When darkness and defeat seem close at hand
And lights dim even as we pray for peace;
when...

I speak with clarity and honesty,
and don't hide underneath pretenses;
never my promises turn into lies!
How long have you known me,
and yet you fail to see my sincerity...
when the warm light of friendship glows?

More fear than certainty
is a weak and recognizable trait
that strongly and deeply affects
any...

A poem by Olorunsogo David


The future not embracing
The past long drawn apart
    confusion!
Mist!
                           Blindness!
A mirage would...
