Best Crown Of Thorns Poems


Crown of Thorns

Crown of Thorns            

A trace of thorns you are 
on my body,
I am an eternal traveller, 
never stopping.

You are the bitter predicament 
of my comfort,
Traces of sensual pleasures -
The mist of a veil is 
my constant reminder.

You wound the stubble of my heartly thorns,
I stand alone on the dusty conflagration
Gazing towards an endless void,
I am bridled with the burning pain of the
thorns...

My gaze tirelessly roves,
Prickly are the thorns,
With malediction entwined...

I am drowning in a sweaty torrent,
I am plunging into thorny depths,
bloody and overworked 
from the struggle,
I yield myself to 
the decision of fate.

Crown of Thorns

stoic expression
  though crown of thorns pierced his flesh ~
   silent suffering

Crown of Thorns

Red rose petals in the wind
Falling gently to the ground
tainting red God’s blessed earth
Darkness descends all around

Cries of anguish pain and sorrow
A mother’s heart bleeds for her son 
 Bound and nailed  to a tree
bruised and weakened,  just for me

Crown of thorns that  I should bear
Pierce the head of one so dear
releasing me from pain of sin
to live and love , one with Him.


He Wore a Crown of Thorns For Me

Whenever I feel discouraged,
Or am just too blind to see,
What purpose there is for my life on earth,
This thought is what comforts me.

I think about a Man Whose Name
Means, oh, so much to me,
You see, He wore a crown of thorns,
That He might set me free.

He wore a crown of thorns for me,
And bore so patiently,
All that the soldiers of Rome did think,
Would destroy His dignity.

He wore a crown of thorns for me,
And put up with all the shame,
The soldiers could deal out to Him,
For our sins He took the blame.

He wore a crown of thorns for me,
And I could never pay,
Him back for all that He endured,
And suffered there that day.

So I must love my fellow man,
The way He wants me to,
And that is how I'll know the peace,
He gives to those who do.

Crown of Thorns

Wicked weavers weaved
Sharp thorns into a crown
Meant for all who frown
Where sin is conceived.

O you anointed head
Do not fear that crown
Though it may pain now
The sheep leave not unfed.

(Read John 15:19-21)

Premium Member A Crown of Thorns

People said it was not Jesus' crown,
For pricked blood flowed as it would from any wound
And no miracle was seen.

People said that Jesus' head would not have fit
As the crown was small, too small,
And all the thorns looked new.

But every day the people prayed,
And one day the thorns played different -
More like Jesus would have worn...

And people said... the people said
That the playful priest tried it on his head 
Each day before the Mass was sung.

A Crown of Thorns

No matter what I do or where I shall go ---
My devotion to GOD must be without hesitation and never slow ---
Fore my salvation came to me freely and without delay ---
Allowing me to enter the Lord's kingdom, come what may ---
Until that time arrives, I will be obidedient in His way --
As the Holy Angels and Saints sing praise all of the day ---
Casting prayerful thoughts towards the Holy Trinity, way beyond our sky ---
I will wear a crown of thorns around my heart,
until the moment I die.

The Crown of Thorns

King of Jews they would mock
Making a crown of thorns 
To place around His head
That He might look foolish
To make an example out of Him
For their king of this world
Had a crown of wealth 
If only did they know the thorns
Would symbolize what kept them in death
In bondage of sinful nature 
They can not grow on their own 
For these thorns held them from 
Reaching the light yet to come
That Jesus came to free them from
Through love that we might 
Come to know a true love
In His death we have been given a way
To seek the light that burns out the thorns
So one might rise above the darkness 
To trade in there crown of thorns
And receive a crown of life 
Which places the seal of approval
That you belong to the God of the living
That He might reign within
To give knowledge and wisdom in His word 
That shines light on the darkness
To see Jesus is the King of Kings


Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
James 1:12 KJV

In Purple Cloak and Crown of Thorns

In Purple cloak and crown of thorns
The soldiers mocked Him majesty, but
Jesus died for you and me
The high priest charged
Him with blasphemy
He will return for all to see, thus
Bring the sweet reward of eternity

Premium Member THAT OLD CROWN OF THORNS HE WORE FOR ME-

THAT OLD CROWN
OF THORNS  HE WORE for ME 

That crown of thorns
Set upon His head 
Needled poke, pricked, bloodshed 
Though the crown of thorn
 Was mocked
 Replace His Kingdom Crown
 Evil Humanity thought
 Instilled with my God
 So yet He's lives for me
He His grace, substituted
Heart and Head space
O' The Crown of Thorns
 my Amazing  Grace
Poignant and powerful 
Reflection on the symbolism 
of the crown of thorns

Sense of reverence, gratitude, and awe, reminding us 
of the profound sacrifice and love that of Jesus Christ Father demonstrated through His suffering and death on the cross.

Father inspire us to contemplate the true meaning of sacrifice, love, and redemption in our own lives

Father we reflect on the significance of the crown of thorns and its connection to Jesus Christ's sacrifice and redemption.
We need a deeper sense of gratitude for the love and grace that Jesus Christ demonstrated through His suffering and death on the cross.
- Jesus' sacrifice is a powerful reminder of God's love and redemption for humanity.

Crown of Thorns

Whenever I have a headache 
I think of Jesus and his crown
of thorns…

Can’t imagine the pain, he must 
have endured, from the thorns 
digging into His flesh…

So whenever you, think your head
 hurts badly, think of Jesus
and His Crown of Thorns…

Crown of Thorns

she always smiles at me 
when we meet
once our eyes locked
I saw what was on the inside 
pain and hurt
broken dreams
and a broken heart
we all wear crowns
of thorns
tomorrow 
I'll make her smile
reach to her
around the broken dreams
under her broken heart
give her love
make the damn pain
and hurt go away
at least for alitte while
if I'm careful
I willn't get hurt
by her crown of thorns

Crown of Thorns

Cloning the emperor,
assuming the throne
knighted impostor,
unregally grown

With hell for a kingdom,
his scepter ignites 
flames burning memory,
a mirror’s delight

The queen held for ransom,
 a prince in his bed
jester on fire,
all subjects rebled 

A rival approaches,
the bishop a swan
his guillotine royal
—beheaded in song

(Beaupre: November, 2021)

Crown of Thorns

Martyr or devil?
To be denied all salvation?
I decline,
That thin white line is one I wish not,
To cross,
Despite the beauty burning on the other side,
Petrified,
Of that which is unknown?
I look upon the crown of thorns the radiant light,
I know my rest is eternal.

Crown of Thorns

the bitterness dies and so does regret
like the wind from the mountains
that shakes all the trees
we change what we can and bury the rest
no questions of why or who knows what's best

it is all curled up, resting demure and sweet
laying face down, harmless and still 
it snarls and growls like the beast that it is
when you turn it over or step on its tail
viciously it bites, inflicting before it runs 
there aren't enough drugs to ease its pain

we let it all go, saying never again
no medals awarded for the crown of thorns worn
when we glance back in the rear-view mirror
it gets smaller as the distance grows
the memories fade like the trail behind
the heart will just keep on believing
