Best Disobeyed Poems


Eve

Does the past really matter?
 Does it set you free? 
I’m absorbed in the sin,
That is surrounding him and me. 

Lost in the curiosity,
Cold to the touch. 
Drenched in the poison,
With my dignity in his clutch.

Feeling like I was cheated;
I chose the evil instead of light.
I traded in the sunshine,
For what lurks in the night. 

I disobeyed his orders,
I gave up security to be unsure.
I went against the warnings,
Gave into darkness instead of remaining pure.

Once my bed was made of soft grass,
But now it is made of stone.
Was plump from all of the luscious fruit,
Now I’m starving to the bone. 

My curse is one of circumstance.
The punishment a crime,
I’m stuck inside this dampened cave,
For the rest of time. 
My world came crashing down,
The grief has not subsided.
My heart broke completely,
When my sons collided. 

My misery a token,
From the abandonment I earned.
Upon the time spent in sorrow,
There was a lesson to be learned.

Have I found the moral?
Only in time we shall see,
For all I did was eat an apple-
From the Knowledge tree.

Premium Member Amid the Jagged Shadows

"Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs;”  
                                            Samuel Taylor Coleridge
       ,

I stand amidst the stillness of the graveyard and browse
My unbearable anguish like drooping flowers surge,
Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs,
While hungry birds fly round twittering a plaintive dirge.

The old oak tree now denuded from all its green leaves
Time pass, forlorn eerie mist descends hiding the grave
Then sparkling white snow flutter down, thus my heart bereaves,
Bringing on hopelessness that dear life can never save.

No flowers by request she always maintained and said.
I could not bear to see others hide her from my view,
I disobeyed her and covered her with roses red.
Memories flooded my mind with thoughts that I pursue.

In the pain stillness of my heart, I know death does part
But like the nude oak tree, no one can refill my heart.

Beautiful Disaster

Cause you see no one gets how hard it is to fix back into shape when you’re broken,
Shattered,
I think it’s just mathematically, scientifically impossible to get the pieces back perfect,
Because in the process some pieces may have been lost,
Lost and cannot be found,
Cause I found it was so hard to every get over you,
But it looked so easy to you,
Cause maybe you never feel as deep as you said you did,
I fell deep into your lies and your beautiful eyes and it’s just so hard to move on,
Hard to move on, because you left piece of your soul inside me, the exact moment you decided to get inside me,
Despite our use of protection, it didn’t protect the sexually connection,
No it’s not an internet connection that you can easily disconnect from, but it’s almost permanent,
Yes you permanently hurt me ,
And you watch me with those eyes and that grin cause I, the fool gave you the thing,
The thing that I promise that I wouldn’t give until marriage,
I willingly disobeyed God for you,
Cause you became my God,
I worshipped you,
I loved you with every inch of me,
And now we’re inches from being strangers and I have to get over you,
I’m sure to be careful next time around, 
Because I can’t afford to break the pieces of my heart that are left dangling .


Premium Member How Wonderful You Are

~How Wonderful You Are~ 
(Free Verse) 


How truly wonderful and awesome you are to all of us God 
You shower us with all your blessings and your glowing Grace 
As days and years of our life rushes by quicker than any flashing light 
I'm just looking forward till I get to see your divine and sweet face 

Everything around me just shows me that you truly live here with us 
You've written it and designed it all with your own Almighty Hands 
You are in my heart and my soul and always will be here close to me 
I can see You walking right beside me all the time in my mind's eyes 

How wonderful You are to us all my sweet and wonderful Lord and King 
The whole world sings You songs and praises of worship and glory 
You created us in your own image and made everything for us good and pure 
But man disobeyed and sinned and brought in evil and death in everything 

As God saw this happened and sin corrupting inside every single man immortal's soul 
He sent down His only Son Jesus to die for us upon the cross and make us whole.

Premium Member There Winter Lonely Fallows Deeply Dream

There Winter Lonely Fallows Deeply Dream


Long after that ripe golden sunset gleam
Cool silvery tones, wavering light;
Then winter lonely fallows deeply dream
Into the grayish ghostliness of night.

Far off, yet looming bold and strangely near,
Within starry heavens they are aureoled,
Forested mountain-ranges far westward rear
Their high guardian towers as of old.

And lo! above their ancient stormy deeps, 
In pensive grandeur, icy frozen browed,
One glorious forest summit there keeps
Transcendent vigil alone, pure and proud.

And we who see that shining symbol turn
A moment's while from its lone transient mood;
From that brief moment we clearly discern
Our lost souls within Nature's solitude.

Robert J. Lindley

Truth Decay

The day he moved in he started 
packing all of her away.
She barely even noticed her 
personal truth decay. 
Her mirror reflected shadowed eyes, 
echoed her quiet dismay.
Without a breath in her defense she 
was a captured castaway.
She barely even noticed her 
personal truth decay. 
Naively she didn't stand as he kept 
her friends at bay.
Without a breath in her defense she 
was a captured castaway.
The home that she had filled with 
dreams disappeared when she 
disobeyed.
Naively she didn't stand as he kept 
her friends at bay.
Her mirror reflected shadowed eyes, 
echoed her quiet dismay.
The home that she had filled with 
dreams disappeared when she 
disobeyed.
The day he moved in he started 
packing all of her away.

Snake's Legs

When snakes had legs and love was free,
A man called Adam climbed a tree.
Although he knew the act was banned,
He plucked an apple with his hand.

In Eden you could always find,
Delicious fruits of every kind.
And everyone of them were free,
Except the apples on this tree.

A snake you see, the curse of man,
Had swayed the mind of his woman.
His partner Eve had tried it all,
Except this luscious juicy ball.

But God had made it very clear,
He was the one you had to fear.
There is one thing you should not do,
”This tree is mine, and not for you!”

When battle rages in man’s mind,
To do what’s right for all mankind.
A woman’s will, will then prevail,
No matter if it makes him fail.

So Adam plundered to his fate,
His woman said she could not wait.
He plucked the fruit to his demise,
No matter that it was unwise.

Now God’s authority was broke,
They’d disobeyed the words he spoke.
He told them both to go away,
And closed his garden from that day.

So Eve and Adam, duly clothed,
Now left that place they’d been betrothed.
And found a world so large and free,
Where they could climb just any tree.

The snake of course had lost it’s legs,
Because he put God’s power to test.
By tempting woman in this way,
He’d had an awful price to pay.

But God it was, who came off worse,
His power was gone, and even worse.
A ‘woman’ had defeated him,
By making man commit this sin.

So women now will rule the land,
Not God, or men you understand?
For women conquer all they see.
While God enjoys ‘snakes legs’ for tea!

New Creation

From bottom to top, 
my house was decayed. 
Through thousands of years 
of commands disobeyed.  
I girdled my loins 
to rebuild my home. 
I re-laid the foundation 
stone by stone. 
Brick by brick 
I rebuilt the walls. 
House was renewed with 
many victories small. 
I painted the house 
with colors of new zeal. 
I furnished it with 
virtues that heal. 
I planted the garden 
with flowers of love. 
I installed the fountains 
with waters from above. 
I sat in the garden 
admiring my creation. 
At last, to God 
I offered adoration.

Premium Member The Only Way

God’s laws were there in concrete laid,
but few had not been disobeyed.
The world in lowest depths was mired,
to darkest sin had been hot-wired.
 
God’s messengers, prophets of old
the dire consequences told.
But man was set in his own way
the stern laws he would not obey.

God knew his children steeped in sin
could not his Kingdom enter in.
He sacrificed his own dear Son
that man’s vile deeds might be undone.

Christ died for us to wipe us clean
from all the wickedness obscene.
God’s forgiveness now ours to receive. 
Praise God we're saved if we believe.

Premium Member Brothers In Arms

Walter took his life when he could not cope

With addiction and overdosed on pain

He tried very hard but then lost all hope

Found it too hard to control and abstain

Ralph medicated depression in vain

The rope's noose disobeyed his last command

His sadness was deep and mania grand

The bullet left just a brain bloody fame

As courage granted an ultimate stand

Too close for comfort as we were the same

Premium Member Jonah: Reluctant Prophet

To preach to Ninevah was not his wish - 
So sailing west, the prophet disobeyed. 
When God appointed wind and storm and fish 
To punish, teach, and save him, Jonah prayed:
"I called out to the Lord in my distress, 
I cried for help from deep within my grave. 
With songs of great thanksgiving will I bless 
Your name. You answered me - I know you save.”
Then preaching holy wrath, he watched the city 
From low to high repent and seek the Lord. 
God showered all with mercy, love, and pity 
Then Jonah's faith he patiently restored. 
Three days; salvation; grace; all intertwine
As Christ's prophetic resurrection sign.

Premium Member Imperfect

The Bible says we are all made in God's image,
in every way we're a match,
so why can't I reach part of my shoulder blades
from above or below for a scratch?
The Good Lord resides in the Heavens above,
perfection, where nothing can fail,
so why can't I lift my foot up far enough
on my other leg to clip my nails?
 God is immaculate, he stands incorrupt,
in all aspects nothing he lacks,
so why is my fingertip just that bit short
when I'm clearing my earhole of wax?
Is it because Adam and Eve were perfect until
they disobeyed God and they sinned,
and everyone born after that had their faults,
the original model God binned?
And that is why though we are all sinners now
because of the choices they made,
the Good Lord had mercy, invented the spoon
so that I can reach my shoulder blade.

Premium Member A Verbal Fight

Wife - "Once I kept you locked in my heart
But now I release you like a fart
So that I can have a fresh start"

Husband – "Once I disobeyed God
So, He put on my back a heavy load
Now I pray, take this load off my shoulder, my Lord"

Wife - "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Like Humpty, if ever you have a great fall
I will never come running at your call"

Husband - "Horsey, Horsey, don’t you stop?
Why blabber like an idiot nonstop?
If you have no work, go and mop"

Wife - "Oh! Tut...This is why I strongly say
Dogs like you should be left to stray
How, from men like you, I wish to stay away"

Husband - "Then why linger? You may boldly walk away
How I wish to rid of a 'Donkey' who can only bray"

Wife – "With a man like you, do you think I will again stay?
 Never! But for making my life a mess you should pay"

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a tree that was forbidden and both harmful and lethal. A basic command was given to Eve but she disobeyed God and was deceived. Adam came next with a temptation in mind. He ate the fruit and then his life was declined. Sin has entered into the world today and now we have caskets in which we lay. We could’ve had a perfect world with peace and harmony but now we have a world with grief and agony. Here is a lesson learned, when you disobey God you will be burned. Obey God in everything you do because living right is a life filled with truth. God Bless!

Buttprints In the Sand

One night I had a wonderous dream
One set of footprints there was seen
The footprints of my precious Lord
But mine were not along the shore

But then some strange prints did appear
So I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
Those prints are large and round and neat
And too large to be my feet.

"My child," he said in somber tone
For miles I carried you alone
I challenged you to walk in faith
But you refused and made me wait.

You disobeyed, you would not grow
The walk of faith, you would not know
So I got tired, I got fed up
And there I dropped you on your butt.

Because in life there comes a time
when one must fight and one must climb
When one must rise and take a stand
Or leave their buttprints in the sand.



I did not write this poem.  My grandma Joy had this hanging on her fridge.
I thought I would share this with you all because she passed this year.
I love you grandma
