Best Exhortation Poems

Courtesan rays slip through saffron robes 
undaunted  countenance persists 
past spuriously puffed up wares 
burying a man alive 

Protect me from this sea 
drown out in apprehension 
unscrupulously seizing me 

Engulf me in a mere chestnut gloss 
where the specters lie in wake 
loop...

The apostle Paul here brings his word
addressing those seekers to follow God
speaking here with confidence and boldness
living the life of God he will plod

Paul here shows Christ's approval of him
for he calls all that to God profess
to indeed walk keenly in his steps
for Christ's approval...

Exhortation to the Night

What breaths fill this night?
Exhaled by things that shun the touch of light?
Accept the burden of pressing dark?
Face the Abyss to read its Mark?

     Down in the blackness 
     We dance and drum,

I want this venture to spread wide 
And her first walk a giant stride.
So, let's face things from every side,
Checking, wisely, losing man's pride...

Some had this tried and later cried 
For lent ears to cut and dried,
Besides who shall have the sweet bride:
Who, in deed,...

In this world of increasing darkness
there is only one source of real light
the Lord God himself shines His glory
looking upon His own in their plight

This is the God of eternal salvation
promising it to all who believing trust
in the saviour of redeemed sinners
so trusting our fears...

I have been saved halleluiah
From the darkness of my aurora

An extraterrestrial exhortation
From the grips of an evil temptation

Mindless compulsions overtake reality
Engulfed in the deadly sin of propensity  

Each day deeper into the pit of duality 
Floundering on the cusp of insanity

What is real and...

Wail hard and loud, and shake the walls
With grief, sorrow. In festive halls
Let laughter spew volcanic rains
Of living lava. Let your pains
Be proud pronounced for all to hear,
And of that which to you is dear,
Fight fiercely, with a savage love,
Like that of I AM up...

The year turns and so the season of light reborn follows.
This year the darkness overbears my fragile flame
Too many lights have been extinguished 
Too many hearts broken, too much despair.
Perhaps
I have simply arrived at an age where
The darkness is closer than before
perhaps
The light seems so...

Hear ye hear ye o vainglorious creatures
This day have I weighed thine lives in measures
Know ye not thine retinue will not last?
And all becometh old as of the past?
Repent ye of thine evil ways  this day
For it cometh soon to an end - mine...

Emotion’s exalt me
Scorching me
tormenting me
understanding distorting
it passes by my misfortune
innocence transforms into trauma
around and around like a carousel
as i go  parallel
so does my armor
talking on a life of its own further
this is my exhortation
awakening
it’s consequences obnoxious parading
degrading
that defining moment 
where i lost faith
so i...

"Same ol', same ol'!",
Cries the Sentinel.
"He pits the parties
To perfect His will
In His heavens,
And on His Earth!"

"I trust Him to do the right thing 
More than I trust my own judgment."

"Same ol', same ol'!",
Cries the Sentinel.
"Their moral high-rank 
Is only a Mirage,
Tricking a thirsty soul
That...
