Best Concern Poems

Remember all the Wise Men on their knees upon your yacht?
With orphans on their backs they’d crawled (with others that they’d brought)
Through rubble on the highway sands and residues of Lot.
They came from severed cities selling postcards of your thoughts,
Though offered for a penny piece,...

My Lord,

Give us the will
To overcome our heartless indifference for
Those who suffer 

So as 

Able us to be,
In the ever-stretching desert of apathy, your  
Seed of concern to sow!

I walk with a silence to my step,
as if in reality they never took place.
A shadow cast upon what has been done,
evidence misplaced.
Seconds merge into minutes, minutes which remain endless.
Days stand without weeks moments reign endless.
Does the mind play tricks, or do the thoughts stay...

Freedom is when there's nothing to gain
But blessed relief from the constant pain
Of outward show and hidden plot
Freedom is when concern is not...

Today, it is a sunny Thursday morning in April, and my body
aches like it does when a rainstorm hits, and I am regrettably 
bitter about it because in this very moment in time,
I am still waywayway too aware

I am aware of the dangers of being judgmental 
When it comes to the so-called celebrity “faith leaders” 
However, calling them out, in my opinion, is elemental. 

I cannot understand how they can bathe themselves in luxury  
Talking about the lowly Jesus and his...

My soul knows you, for your kind words
Though we shall never meet
Poetry written, friends answer
Time, as life, bittersweet

Slowly crossing this spacious Earth
Poems from no address
Empty hands stretch in silent mirth
Mind's touch, I'll confess

I've come to know the gentle heart
And always found a smile
Replies given for...

To whom it may concern
I'm already prepared to learn,
To learn the life, life long teaching
There are some goals I need to be reaching
People tells me that, I'm all so young
Really, there's no need to be concern,
So curious adult life could be
But they keep saying relax...

When the sun isn't up, there are no shadows
I need a peaceful haven to refuel my arrows

If we substitute the stud hopelessness
We heal our scars amid sleep and sleeplessness

As a trusted guide to the world of dreams
Fall short of expectations; broke his screams

My sanity would...

Sinking into a True Despair
 
It’s like trying to shoot a monstrous ghost that you can’t ever see,
and, at the same time, this applies when one wants to kill a rumor,
and where everything is just like water running off a duck’s back,
and when you can’t...

I often wander from life's rules,
flounder thru issues days will spool.
At those times, you gentle my view.
I am blessed to be loved by you.

If I hide when morning arrives
renewed strength comes from your blue eyes.
Your presence stays my spirit's hue.
I am blessed to be loved...

i see
they wander
your eyes
through space
through time
their worry
a distant glare
lost they quiver
unsettled in their haze

your silences 
your every thought like loud denials
i understand them well
those blurts of fear
the muffled words smothered censored
for fear they can never be unsaid
seeking first a peace
delicately balanced deep within
stabilizing the inner...

a silence falls
with heavy heart
and breath caught short
beneath a moonless sky
while a shadow of an echo
resonates as if to say
i told you so
i told you so

Night hours linger
breathless
I hold your hand
together wait
for the pain
to subside

I don’t dare
fall asleep
wrapping gently 
my arms around you 
to keep watch
all night long 
kissing your ear
releasing whispers
of I love you

I don’t dare
fall asleep            ...
