Best Closer Poems

Sometimes I think 
I wish my heart was made of stone.
That I never loved
and the world would just leave me alone,
because it seems,
when one passes on, the other frets,  
so the closer I am, the harder it gets.

The longer I live
the more heartbreak shatters...

"Closer"



There is a light 
hidden in the heart of man
deeply embedded it summons ignition 
each day the portal opens further
something beckons

come closer 
come closer

the door widens
like the mouth of the whale
in your dreams you are Jonah
inside your vessel waits the one 
who walks on water...

Come closer, just a little closer
break down the barriers and rise 
over the blindness where one can see
your bits of beauty silently eluding me

Shade the penciled lines highlighting hues
of black and white with rainbow eyes
a kaleidoscope decorating nature's view 
savoring every ounce of innocence true

Let...

You look but do not see
The true worth and value of me 
You just see an old man
An empty battered can

Not the strength l possess
Nor the life l was blessed
Love l gave , love l received
The accomplishments l achieved

My body is aged and frail
Though my...

I take in myself each day, 
Marks I wish to go or stay, 
For a meter away, 
Is a distance half made. 
I cannot see the beauty,
The map, of my own face. 
I hide behind distance, 
Angles, perspective, light:
As if I have something 
I wish...

I’m one drink closer to yesterday
              A bottle away from being with you
I’ll be able to say what I need to say

Beset by doubts before I rise from bed
Problems prey on my worrisome mind 
My ability to reason has been maligned
Cockamamie notions fill me with dread

I see in the mirror, a disgruntled reflection
the haggard expression on my vexed face
I wear a frown that's been plastered in...

Closer We Get, The Farther We Look Back

Sad dying embers of yesterday's feast

For the hearty joys that future shall give

Great memories of my family's past 
flow blessedly with...

One thing we need to know 
most assuredly.
As a Christian,

We need to have a Holy Spirit' 
discernment.
Let’s be filled with God's love.
not discouragement..

Time for prayer and Bible
 reading must be spent.
As your commitment to Christ
 must be 100...

The ghosts of Gods long past reclaim
the mind and heart of lovers plain.
Wreathed with arms and eyes aflame
and lips which kiss, yet long in vain
for heavenly love one must abstain....

When I was cheated,
He took my anger.

When I was hurt,
He took my pain.

When I was rejected,
He took my sadness.

When I was humiliated,
He took my shame.

When no one wanted me,
He called me Friend,

And when I fell from His Grace,
He reached down and said, 'Give Me your...

Once it's a desire,
and the needs intensify.
to create,to justify
To be known...not so far.

All I dream is to fulfill,
what deep inside me
is a fiercing devotion,
compose every one's dream.

My sword started to kill,
tearing the flesh,
swim one's soul in bloodstream
Dying to live again.

Now I plough in a midst...

With a heart wide open the world can see my way..
Like laying naked in the rain, the drops of water touch and say..

Spilled out on a table where candles light a dark sky..
All my lost secrets served out for strangers passing by..

Judging me for the...
