Premium Member It Never Fails
The sun will rise.  The sun will set.

Though we may doubt so many things,

the sun has never failed us yet.

The sun will rise.  The sun will set.

Against the sun I would not bet.

Regardless what the morrow brings,

the sun will rise--the sun will set.

The...

O' The Deep Wisdom That Man Fails To Seek

Dark world's scar, sad clown in dancing despair,
Lively in sewers of forbidden thought,
Gambling in darkness for a wasted share,
Content with errors so easily bought.

What of the world's sweeter admirations?
Or family's great clear and glowing praise?
Shall one thus...

Even When The Entirety Fails The Wanted Sum
  
  I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
  Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum
  Upon low hills, I seek much higher mountain tops
  Rejoice, in blessings of...

Premium Member When Love Fails Reason -
Reason is a tool,
it can not escape the boundries of calculation as oxygen departs from blood,
logic operates on the body of algorhythems thumping along trails of faceless fates,
reason is a scavenger of possibilities matured into conclusions born from imagination,
without formulas to navigate the maze of...

Betrayal, Fails Me Most
Question my mannerisms, do you cause me
Kindness, should be shown to no friend
Reciprocation, will their beliefs differ
In vain, will all my acts become
As if trust, can be nurtured by none
Relationships prove worthless

A resident was my heart, of yours
Care, did you show little 
Every deceitful word...

God's Word Never Fails Us



He that framed fast Heaven's golden door,
 cast stars out to fill the Milky Way.
Spread waters wide and deep shore to shore,
 taught us his Love and Truth to pray!

Created first man from lowly earthen dust,
 gave the world its beauty...

When All Else Fails
Hanging from a ledge on this slippery slope,
my arms are weary from clutching this rope!
All alone and heart filled with fear,
as visions pass by so crystal clear!

The love of a woman back home is why I cling to this rope so tight, 
the thought of...

When Charity Fails
When I Try to provide charity
Never seems accomplish anything
Why even bother trying
I should just do things to benefit me

I wish I could help others
If ever try
Nothing good ever happens
So if I'm not helping
Why should I even bother?

I'm not a bad person 
the more I attempt...

An Absolutely Nonsensical Pseudo Poem That Fails To Pass For a Fairy Tale
When poet Tennyson was very young,
He was a handsome tiny son, 
Who loved playing tennis under the sun.

When in his teens,
Tennyson excelled at his studies 
So much so that he won the admiration of 
Adorable girls who numbered ten.

As an adult Tennyson the tiny son...

The precious crimson tide flows for all
Epitome of power
All sins overpowered
Upon it proud, I stand, brave and tall

Premium Member Memory Fails Her Again
What can a woman say to the world:
 when she reached the age seventy?
She lived her life according to everybody rules.
A mother, friend, wife, and co-worker: how perky

Her years of really living have past her by
There is nothing left but shattered memories,
Old unpaid church tithe’s...

When All Else Fails
I knew a man whose life had become cluttered and filled with sin,
Lost and alone, wishing he could start over but not knowing where to begin.
Remembering all the lies and broken promises that seemed to go on without end,
Remembering how it all started, when those...

When Courage Fails
When Courage Fails

She stands
In medicated silence;
Spirit woman gowned in white.
It does not matter where
    But why
There should be such a need as this.

Herself
Full pressed against a wall
Pale washed by afternoon's reflection
There is no window to the World
She has not looked upon
In her...

When Love Fails, Man Fails
WHEN LOVE FAILS, MAN FAILS

Men are captivated by what they see,
The shinny bird deserve not to suffer
In the polluted air of love.
When love fails to actualise it purpose
Man fails to live up to his standard,
Teach your spirit about the end of love

Many has fallen into...
