Best Dependence Poems

You’ve got a hold on me
And won’t let me forget
My need for you, arguably
Is as severe as needs get

I can’t see beyond
A me without you
Without my dear wand
What, ever, would I do

Would I succumb to death
Departing by choice
Or find something left 
Without your voice

I have...

Dependence and independence
(Humanity verses individualism)
The independence from dependence is the soul core of human affliction  
The disconnection of the soul, mind and body is equal to death penalty
But liaison of waters to the roots speaks of the strength of the tree
The harmony of man’s...

I don't know what I want to write
But I will write about dependent vs. independent
As our nation is getting ready to celebrate the Fourth of July - our national holiday - Independence Day
I just want to take a moment to reminisce of what happened 
and...

Nature's Dependence

Enduring food chain
Living devours living.
Thankfully survived.

Complete Dependence

“God, the Master, The Holy of Israel, has this solemn counsel: "Your salvation requires you to turn back to me and stop your silly efforts to save yourselves. Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on me— The very thing you've...

Drugged high, I watch and wait for your touch
Entrusting my life to you, your
Presence has become my essence
Existing in this space where only your face
Needs to be
Desolate, I lay shivering and sheet-bound
Expecting the cold breath of death
No power to move, yet
Caresses of your warm hand...

Soul in need
Yearns for peace
Christ grants love.  

Faith hides fear
Doubts draw nigh
God's strength reigns

Heart with thanks
Worships now
“Praise the Lord*!”

*Psalm 118:28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

I miss you my little friends, 
 when will I see you again?
Sometimes I wish you were here, 
 other times I hope you never reappear.

Long pink pill,  I take it so that I feel no pain.
 Small blue pill that takes away anxiety,...

Cut the chedder
World wide boom and bust
Economic cycles derived
From circadian rhythms
Making a corroded artery plunge
Into diabetic, catatonic comas

Companies that mine hormones
Sparkling that appetite reservoir
Congress will fund the model
Subsidies to the dirt and cheese
Feed lot arranged for meaty pleasure

Health stricken from the record
Drug money pays of...

The scene gets uglier each and every day.
Just pull up to the pumps at any gas station.
Have you recently seen the prices of gasoline?
Higher and higher, they continually go.

It costs a small fortune to fill up the tank.
Does anybody know the reason for this?
Do the...

Natural Dependence

We are dependent for 1
We live on dissimilar things 
Two of the things are  
Blood and water
Yes, blood and water

We strongly rely on them 6
We heard that water is life  
And that it is colorless
But that blood is colorful
No life at all...

For the Life of Me

For the life of me
I can’t figure you out.
In another life we
would be the perfect couple.
Under different circumstances
we would be set for life.
As it stands now, though, we are
hanging on for dear life.
So, grow up, be an adult
and...

This somber morn
My heart weighs heavy
As clouds drift slowly by

As if stood up
Left at the altar
Where is the sun

Jolted
Such gravity
This joyless day

So intrinsically dependent
On the life force fireball
Up in the sky

How will I get through the day
Dare I hope to see the sun tomorrow
O yes,...
