Best Draw Up Poems

There's a rehearsal in the castle, cult party masquerading on the dance floor latin verse sermons the words heard will entrance you, transfix you,
The devil advances towards you and sits you around the marble table where we talk about our carnal instincts and every situation...

Oh, speak to me of love, said Pain, now come
Draw up a chair and look me in the eye
Her limbs move slow, by sorrow frozen, numb
All nerve and sinew wracked by silent cry
Sit down, said Pain, the fire is hot and bright
And we must talk,...

I am a virgin slammer,
Let me get that over with,
So if I stammer and speak like a bludgeoning hammer,
Let the record be clear: I’m just trying to go with this.
So I won’t walk the walk or talk the talk,
I may even stain the sheets while...

I stood atop of my pointed view and felt the sharp tooth of truth.
How elegantly we lived the lie,  a fictional legend always on the edge of a prequel.
But the sharp tooth of truth really cuts the fat right down to the bone.
So what...

The Coat Hanger

Let's travel back in time to 1928, the place is Sydney (Australia)
The local government wanted to create a harbour crossing from 
the North to South of Sydney, architects were brought in to 
draw up plans for it's conception, there were suspension bridges
like the...

I often wonder
as I wander through wonder
receptive to the signs
projected from minds mines
exploding in invincible
imagination invisible

like cloak and dagger
I search for the truth
whether it be within me
portrayed without my boundaries
leaping bounds

offering sounds
collected in the skies daisy dairies
harvested in the sea
fermented in vermouth
causing the tides to...

God Almighty, God of grace and goodness
your guide is always guaranteed to those who gain wisdom to exalt your name.
Omnipotent is what you are
but we learn no signs of overbearing
or pride or abuse of power in you.
Dear to your being is all the creation you...

Confoundly forward marches the soldiers bravely twords the war
 On going is the beat of the drum that leads these men 
To where the single trumpet plays a rebeling score 
 A battle ground where battles implore gore, the grapheties of war 
The generals encharge...

I bought a piece of land, for my family and me,
to build a perfect home on a plot beside the sea.
 
I employed a local Surveyor to help draw up the plans,
to build my family dream house on the beach at ‘Lincoln Sands’

 
He came and took...

The well of blessing
be clear and open.
Every day
May we go to the well, 
Let drop our weathered
   bucket of life,
   to be filled anew,
Then draw up its sweet 
   joy of grace and being
   and drink,
Knowing that...

Last Stroke of Midnight	

The last stroke of midnight chimes –
All plans stand at attention, start here,
Perfect prophecy inhales the first breath 
Of winnowing starlight foretold
As you draw up to step into your blemished creation
With new lungs filled with crisp fulfillment.

Torrents of roaring grace
Smash narrow portals...

My life flutters by, like a butterfly.. a lullaby,
Making me cry and sigh, untill I die,
I'm lying here thinking..  it's all been a waste,
Just a hasty taste, of all the pleasures I've chased.

This P.M.A, which I display, every day,
Is the only way, I'll make...

There have been multiple attempts at dictatorial rulership of the world.                                  ...

Splendid in beauty and fragrant in ruby
How I linger in your placid dreams, 
drawing out your parched  tongue

I shall scatter my daughters with the devine whip of the winds
They will suck out the moisture of the land 
and give you blessings upon blessings
above the...
