Premium Member Despite My Sins
God, 
You are
so good to
me despite my
sins* and transgressions.
You gave Yourself to me
along Your loving kindness
saving my soul from hell’s peril
giving me eternal life’s greatness...
Such I can’t fathom; but, I do thank You.

*Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together...

Premium Member DESPITE WRECKAGE
Created from clay
yet possessing image of God
my heart glows with redemption’s grace
persisting to champion miracles
against human nature’s wreckage...
Thus, I can move mountains.

Gripped with divine presence
my faith trusts the Holy Spirit
strengthened to conquer trials
subduing torments of guilt midst pardon bliss 
toward triumphant eternity...
Indeed, I can move...

Spring Is Coming Despite Winter
'It is my faith that every flower 
enjoys the air it breathes.' 
To live means to be aware 
and take time to see and care. 
To live is to apprehend and forgive.
To live means to share, 
open windows, appreciate, 
love, understand and perceive.
 

Endear yourself,...

Premium Member Despite Distractions
Detaching myself from past experiences' dilemma
determined heart of mine denounces deceit-dominance
dauntless to soar despite distractions…     

Devastated by dear Mom’s demise
distressed due to Dad’s despair over his darling’s death
despondent soul faced courage draining…

Demoralized with Brod’s departure from vowed kingdom duties
decreasing steadfastness questioned...

I Love You (Despite All Your Hate)
If it’s what you truly want
I’ll gladly cut my own throat
I’ll take this sharp blade
and let it slowly slide down
If you promise it’ll make
a smile from your frown
I love you
that’s all I can say
I love you
despite all your hate
Your happiness is
my number one concern
And if...

Premium Member Despite Threats of World War III
Despite challenging threats of World War III crises...
Let’s seek God* Who compassionately blesses  
As we show good works’ practices
While clinging to His promises
Indeed relying upon what His “Fear not” expresses.

Despite discouraging gloom brought by a World War III environment...
Let’s yield to God so we...

Despite the Bilboes of Casteism
He could see her highly strung face
Behind the cloaked veil
A face taught to behold beautiful turbulent.
He could feel the shiver in her timid heart
And the fearful spasm
Running down her spine.
He held her hand and whorled the bangles
While hundred of foes
Opposing two hearts
Kept their eyes glued...

The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow Despite the Rain
chariot of outreach,
i do a moderate dance
in the form of a stomp 
on your existence

as i gallop into the wide
unknown of your most
feeble pleasure, i recall
a windy dawn in which 
you howled my name

when i chose not to respond,
you took it upon yourself to
throw a...

A Badge Made Me Stop, So Now Despite My Angel I Am Back To Dope
DO DON’T, WILL, WON’T

We were wandering, we were lost
Four who knew not the route out of a maze
Other’s blood upon our hearts was there embossed
Never to forget a dead man’s glaring gaze

Once, twice and then one becomes numb and void
While death becomes birth’s ally and...

Blessed Despite My Failings
It wasn’t so long ago
I lost my heart to a man I didn’t know
Now I’m heading home
With five little ones in tow

Now I’ve hit my fifties
What a relief
Looking back on the years gone by
Life has not been all that kind, I cannot lie

But the little...
