Best Devoted Poems

Always asking question 
The devoted daughter of the moon 
     revels in starlight 
  Sweet to the touch, the taste
She dances around an eternal campfire
    The night wears on 
    Still she dances!
She will...

Tears of destruction running down my face
Thoughts of decieval all over the place
Blood drops of red 
Are runninng down my head
Emptiness surrounds
Darkness too
My thoughts are seduced by visions of you
Pale colored promises
Broken lies
The truth of deception refects in your eyes...

I hover back and forth under a dim lamp
Waiting for his grip to open the door;
My  breath pulses  at a beloved’s  sight
As one circle of  tear envelops these  eyes--
That my body melts away... down to its core
When nights faraway plead...

Your devoted adoring Loving hands
Shields the abyss with trance
in utter bewilderment
As every hand is first an apprentice 
That slaves beneath The Temple Of LOVE
Your Loving hands have valor and daring
to weave my sorrow into a sublime
blanket of LOVE and tenderness
    
Your Loving...

D-evoted servant of God
E-arnestly lives by His command; 
M-issing not the worship
I-nside the temple in the land.

T-hird of September Sunday, 
A-n early praise is held; 
D-evoted servant of the Lord
U-ses the love unparalleled.
R-emain constantly pious, 
A-s your faith is kept radiant; 
N-o sign of being...

Take a breath in, let it out.
No need to worry what it’s about.
My heart is open for you to love.
Where that came from there is more of.

Grabbing for your hand as we walk side by side,
For your enduring affection I will abide by.
True love pegs...

She is the most demanding cat who ever shared my home.
She stares at me so balefully till I do what she wants, 
And yet I love her more than any other cat I’ve owned.

She tramples on my feelings as she tramples on my plants
Then stalks...

Hopelessly Devoted to Just One Thing?!?
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Hopelessly devoted to just one thing, I cannot say it’s so. 
Many things were manifested for which great devotions grow. 
Simply choosing that one special thing of hopeless commitment, no!
I cannot do it....

Her faith must have come from her mother's voice:
that woman who took her to church taught her how to pray,
perhaps angels resemble her in her pure innocence;
does Lily ever skips a prayer...wouldn't she rather play?


For now her stuffed dolls lay on the neat carpet with...

People are, constantly, selfishly numbering their troubles endlessly 
While you are listening to them patiently and hopelessly
They write elegies describing unrequited love, themselves,
Their pain, feeling blue,
But this elegy is only for you-
Everyone is writing sad poems, and self-centered, too
However, my poem is devoted to violence,...

He had been laying in a coma
For days, and weeks on end,
The Doctor finally said
No more can we pretend.

I think we must do something
For his body to let it rest,
There is nothing more to do
There is no other test.

He was speaking to the family
And they...

Be my soul’s keeper protecting me through the night as I sleep, as I dream.
Stay with me throughout my days.
Watch over me protect me from this crazy place.
Shelter my heart with your silvery wings carry my spirit gently in your keep.
Caress my soul with your...

Devoted to the ocean am I,
ever since I was a small fry.

Daddy taught me to swim,
the first time I was in with him.

Diving from the steps at the pier,
the higher the dive, the louder the cheer.

Few things compare to a skinny dip,
running in unseen in...

***  Devoted, Choosing  to Hold ***

Engaged
By your spirit; 
My heart to yours; my heart’s hoping ~
Choosing,
Not that long after we met.  
Completely to embrace you.
And you,
Losing your heart to me,  choosing
To  commit  yourself to a  “hand-full”
