Best Devotionme Poems
i walk this earth,just a
ghost
no family,no friends,just a
ghost
no home,no car,just a
ghost
no love,only a broken heart,just a
ghost
on my knees,praying to god,send me something to let me know i do exist,just one person to
touch my life,instead of being just a
ghost
he answered me,sending a true heart to love me just for
me
a woman who knows i have nothing,and loves me
unconditionally
someone who lifts me up ,everytime i get
down
gives me confidence and faith,constantly tells me not to
frown
i thank god everynight now,for me no longer,,,,,being a ghost
Thank you for the blessings
You have bestowed upon my loves ones and me
We have health, love for each other
And jobs that pay enough for the rent
And basic necessities
Forgive me for the times I’ve cursed you
In the midst of certain lessons
I was ignorant – not contemplating
The greater good,
Then you granted me the gifts of
Knowledge and understanding and
Made me grateful for nearly all the outcomes
“Life is the school” and “Love is the lesson,”
But what is the purpose of our incarnation?
Is it enjoying the simple pleasures,
Growing spiritually to know you better,
And striving to do the right things
That make up the purpose potion?
These are things that aid us in loving
Ourselves enough to adequately love you,
Jesus and our fellow spiritual beings
Who are sharing the earthly experience,
But is that all there is?
Beyond Love, you may not divulge
Any other reasons for existence, as
All things ultimately fall under Love’s umbrella
Besides, when working in harmony,
The Bible, our intellect and intuition
allow us higher Truths and Revelations
That I contend come from You and angels
But, is that all of what we are given?
Shall I simply be content in praying
That you continue to enlighten my inquisitive soul
By feeding me information
On a need to know basis
using the tools you have provided
as I enjoy the simple pleasures,
continue my spiritual growth
and strive for morality over blasphemy?
Do I trust that Life’s Purpose
Is as simple and as complex as
Live, Love, Die and Reincarnate?
Love is the Key.
The rest, only You know the Truth.
If you could talk to God....

Your making me walk on broken bones,
I’m breathing through punctured lungs
put me to the tight rope time to cross,
off you go, this is the grunge,
of my life, will it pay off?
Take out rent on my heart
and hide yourself up in the rafters
start the decay then depart.
I can taste bitterness on my tongue
feel it rot within my teeth
you’re making me kiss with bloody lips,
the ghosts are waiting just beneath.
Your making me walk on broken bones,
I’m living like a ghost dies,
Put me up to the pulpit,
I will recite the preacher’s lies.
I will not wake you with tears I cry,
To warm the bed where you lie;
The silence of your nights alone,
Never hear the winds that moan.
Never to touch my lips or eyes,
With your lips or tender sighs;
Your weary clay has turned to dust,
My lonely way has lost it's trust.
I bring a flower for your stone,
To grace a memory I bear alone;
Times spent in our happy years,
Are joined with joys and silent tears.
Make place for me ere I weep,
And wake you from your rest and sleep;
Make room for me to cry with you,
Hold me for I would die with you.
Let's capture all we used to be,
And find it all in eternity.
Call me to the edge my dear
As I abandon all my fears
Wipe the last of lonely tears
My last day on earth draws ever near
Upon the sand my message clear
I lived my life in second gear
Wait for me until you hear
The ringing bells of next new year.
That ride home today spills in and over my heart..
My hand on your leg and your side glances are my favorite part..
We can speak an entire conversation for hours without a word being said..
We have our own vocabulary that only we can follow ahead...
You always know when to comfort me when my eyes become sad..
I know when just to hold you and pull you close even when your mad..
I could lay on your tummy for hours and watch your smile grow...
I can catch your dreams from the air and start this scene like a show...
You watch me laugh at the movies as if what's on the screen is not there..
I can run a bath for you and rub your back just to show you I care..
Bring you a glass of wine when the time is right, or just make love under
the candle light.. Or just watch you gleam in that beautiful dress, and thank
God for today because I'm truly blessed...
I guess I was left alone after sixth grade, wandering my way.
You believed in me, offered up openings and let me say
what I would and delve into the sun and world and stay
and even you ended up with the lecture that betrays.
I wrote I hate because I was writing a friend's words and heart.
You asked me who I would be and even then I wanted all, a dart
where you wanted a girl to trudge through all scientific dirt
while you rode the airplanes and dumped the bombs and let off farts.
The alien chart given to us by the friend with death in his eyes
turned into a get after her and steal her gift away, mini-size
combat world I have entered, perhaps I don't want to see
that my skin and bones won't take the abuse and slip free.
You told me it was trash, imagination, you whose directions I embraced,
tall as my father, kind in punishment with paddle, food for an ace,
do what I can, make the baskets and short end instead of lace
but even then I crocheted for quiet and the ending of days.
How can I choose one star when there are minds that blink into focus
you were the exhaust shoot that let me fly without hocus pocus
I thought I had a community who could let me be without fuss
instead I became the joke who you could goad into a cuss.
Stars are supposed to offer a route into the future
I only have my mind and the heart break of needed sutures
I have Gandhi and Buddha and they hold my hands as lures
to study silence, and Pink Floyd to cuddle but not reassure.
So why is the man with a paddle and heart my only star?
Outside I am compliant and you're happy with her
but inside I am defiant that you have not seen me soar
because I am the murk you want to avoid for a lark.
Betrayals hurt the heart by ignoring the soul's worth.
Betrayals hurt the mind by ignoring the leaps of birth,
Betrayals hurt the soul by closing doors into endless hurt.
My stars always hurt me so I always restart.
I am still alone following the paths who clarity offer hope
and alone because my web of life is so immense I'm a dope
and alone because the daily bread tastes too much like soap,
when the quiet of peace and dark blue earns my truest troth.

Plain as the eye can see through a looking glass
Yet complex with a multitude of facets surpass
I encounter beauty in the blink of an eye
Yet discount hypocrisy with noticed brevity
I am woman, loud and proud
Insistent and astute, serene yet sound
I am somewhat smug in thinking myself fortunate
Yet somehow precedent to my present was woe replete
Sheer antagonism grounded my irreversible plight
Yet renewed anticipation awarded me contentment each night
I am woman, loud and proud
Fraught with humour, yet serious in crisis
Toiling for acceptance by societies callous paradigm
I subsequently comprehended unnecessary fickle whim
So at last I lay me down to sleep
And finally have some reprieve for keeps
. . . For I am woman, loud and proud
STAND BESIDE ME
I look beyond the here and now
The sides and in-between
The way we were, the way we are
The way we've always been
My soul mate stands before me
Your shadow steps into mine
I pour the nectar to the glass
Speak my mystic rhyme
Spellbound I had you from the start
Spellbound you'll ever be
Potions, spells and magic wands
Crystal ball that I may see
Disperse the smoke and clouds of grey
The cotton wool of life
I said back then as I say today
I love being your wife
You take the words from my mouth
Stole them by a kiss
Saying 'yes you have me spellbound
But the true chemistry was this...
I cast this spell we're bound to
It was me, with my magicians tricks
Unveiling a spell of magic you say..
I'll grant you one more wish
One more wish that I may ask of you
what more do I need?
My heart is so full of loving you
There's not room for it to breathe
There is something I'll ask of you
To fulfill that precious wish
You'll complete my soul implicitly
If for me you would do this...,
'Stand beside me sometimes
In-front of me when times get tough
Stand behind me when I'm confident
Beneath to lift me up
Lie beside me when I'm sleeping
Watch over me when I don't see
And on our Golden anniversary
Recite this back to me'
Our Love needs no spells or potions
The magic is always there
Two hearts that beat in unity
A lifetime we two share.
With a smile that he always wore
I remember him as so tall
His sense of humor so genuine
The love in his heart never small
Such a beautiful man
Easy going and fun
The things he would get into
Would leave mom quite undone
He trained beagles
So there were puppies galore
I’d sit amongst them
So many kisses in store
Long walks on the farm
The dogs running ahead
Gave me my love of nature
And my curiosity always led
We’d sit on the front porch
Long talks we would have
I cherish these times
That I spent with my dad
Not lectures but questions
Were his favorite start
So he could help me explore
What was stored in my heart
Even when young I could see in his eyes
The love that he had for me
Like I was his prize
He made me feel special and I wanted to please
I never passed up a moment to sit on his knees
My hero, my champion
The companion I had
And I was so blessed
To call him my dad
R J K means more than my name
So we won't be playing Guess Who, that silly game
It is abbreviated for Rightful Justified King
Not King of South or King of Bling
I like to consider myself Ruler of all Destinies (R.O.A.D.)
This is not King Tut, Hammurabi, or Ramses
I don't need to be passed the crown from my parent
I claim the throne at will it is apparent
Just like I told you all in Life of a Pharoah
The path of being King is narrow
But I'm not narrow-minded
How could you all be blinded
The way I get through life is like a rail being grinded
Rough, noisy, and on-and-off balance
To my enemies I hold cold malice
On top of the world, like I sit on the Statue of Liberty's head
I can both kill all humans and resurrect the dead
My fist and sword can do the job, no poison, no lead
I am wanted everywhere like water and bread
Now tell me who's better for the job
I'll be stuck to my position like corn stick to the cob
Leading my people against snakes in a battle
Be careful identifying because not all snakes rattle
Justification is a must
Power is not my lust
If you try to empower me I will reveal your guts
Try to billy me, I turn you into a goat
Is that a threat or a promise...lol...that's both
Feel my pain, show me love, understand
Help me up, be my crutch, hold my hand
Don't you try, to deny, don't wanna die
Close your eyes
Reach for the skies
You'll get a surprise
Richard Jamaal Keen
Rightful Justified King
Word to my Queen
Your my everything
Mentally in Rio de Jenario
I address the people: Yours Truly: Pharoah

You remind me of this radiant and marvellous butterfly
She darts across the cystal blue sky as the gentle
breezes carry her so gracefully high.
No one knows or understands why she is as she be
filled with a profound rhymic movement as if she
is orchestrating this Heavenly Symphony
From larva, to cocoon did she emerge. Only the touch of
The Master's Hands could have created such a perpetual
and majestic sight as mankind gazes and ponder her spiritual
plight.
She's illumninated with the magnificent colors of the Heavenly
Rainbow. She's as soft as the purity of the passing ivory clouds.
Her sweet fragrance can only be given by God, Himself. She is
adorned with the tapestries of all that breathe the sweet
breath of life.
Beautiful butterfly, butterfly, that soars throughout my life. Oh do
teach me how to soar to such high, perhaps, then I will know the true
essence and the purpose of my life. O precious butterfly, butterfly, thank you
for teaching me and embracing me and knowing my why. Mankind mankind do know this
to be such a simple, but profound truth. Love the beauty of this butterfly, because she knows
my reason why. Butterfly, butterfly! Never cease to fly, for you are the reason why.
I feel my heart is beating so hard
When you say your quite words to me
The trees change their color
Each of them turn a pink cherry blossom tree
I follow your voice
It's taking me somewhere I don't even know
Am i lost in there? would i know my way back?
I hear your voice through the winds, It's soft and slow
I'm loving your husky voice
That makes me wants to fall a sleep
Just by listening to it
All my thoughts and imaginations go so deep
Just sit next to me talk to me all the day long
Let's share the children's stories over the night
Tell me the story of sherlock holmes
And I will be telling you the story of snow white
Your voice is smooth as silk
It's gentle, it's warm and so calm
I want to listen to you instead my ipod
I want it to be the ring of my morning alarm
In these days of the dance
I will handle the bass
And strike with my finger
The strings of the guitar
Playing the tunes of love
Just to sing I love you Lord
You took me from the miry clay
You are my rock and stay
In your goodness and mercies
You showered me blessings
You school me in your kingdom college
That inspires my every knowledge
To you I give my whole heart
It will remain like that
I won’t cause heart break
For I have known how it pains
Let me be simple and plain
I want you to believe this:
I will not stir your jealousy
I will not break your heart, never
This is my song forever
This is the tune I’ll keep playing for love
Just to sing I love you Lord.
Let hope soar on the wings on an angel
Let her lift you up when you fall
I'll be your angel from above
I'll kiss it and make it better
I'll be your lover always and forever
I'll be your friend till the end
I'll be everything you need
All you have to do is think of me
And I'll be there
I'll be there for you
Through thick and thin
When the rain is pouring down
When the sun is out bright
If you ever need me just call
With me by your side
You will never want
For anything in life
I will lift you up on angels wings
I'll be your shelter from the storm
I'll be your tall drink on a hot summers day!
