Best Faithbeauty Poems


Premium Member Land of Plenty

My land is lush and green; 
a land where crystal rivers flow. 
Mountains of amethyst majestic 
in their splendour provide a 
backdrop for magical magnificence. 

My land is rich and prosperous; 
cultivating spiritual harmony, 
tangible beauty, perfect peace. 
A richness rare indeed in a world 
where materialism is now the modern creed. 

Where is the beauty then? 
When you look with green and envious eyes 
what beauty do you see? Avariciously 
seeking the next material fix? 
The picture tainted, tarnished, ruined 

by the ruin of want.  The possession of 
possession.  Relentless procession in 
the earthly repression of the soul. 
Break free then. Regain clarity, 
travel with me to the land of plenty; 

to a landscape lush and green. 
A spiritual oasis in a desert of misery. 
Bathe in crystal waters and cleanse 
your spirit.  Become a whole again. 
Reclaim your soul again, 

for you arrived here with it, 
but it was quickly replaced by ego. 
Fore go the chase for worldly wealth and look 
within for prosperity for only then 
will you dwell in magical magnificence.

Beauty:

Some people say, beauty is only skin deep
But I say, beauty is transparent it starts from within
It’s like watching the sunset on a cool afternoon across the hills and along the 
meadows.

Beauty is charming
It bewitches you
When captivated it leaves you breathless
It’s like a spell that works its way up your blood stream and down your veins 
It paralyzes you.

Beauty is in everything you see 
Beauty is you
So look deep within and you will find that beauty begins with the lord divine.

Real Dreams

real dreams 


your dreams are not illusions 
my dear ceizar 

dreaming so much is beauty in the heart 

i will not lie to thee 

the plane will sweep me away in to your arms of love 

we will do all the things for real 

we will dance upon the moonlights beauty 

my ceizar we are as one a total a unique delivery 

my queen of the angels light


Beauty

Sitting in my room
thinking about the night.
When I got down on my knees
You showed me the light.

I never shall forget.
the Love surrounding me.
I thank you my savior.
For the night you set me free.

The beauty that I never saw
was soon surrounding me.
Things I took for granted.
Like the leaves upon the tree.

The pretty little flowers
The brightness of the sky.
The little creatures all around
a birds majestic flight.

I see your beauty everywhere
I want to take it in.
I thank you for the Love you share
with us mortal men.

Everything must co exist
thats what amazes me.
you thought of everything on earth
and caused it just to be.

so many marvelous things
My mind is wrapped around
Like all the wonders of your world
There's things still being found.

Diamonds Are Nothing

Diamonds are nothing compared to You...
You are more beautiful than the rain...
You are prettier than the moon...
You are more lovely than any song we could ever sing...
And even with all Your perfect beauty You still love us...
We are nothing and always be nothing compared to You...
You have beauty of mind,soul,spirit,and heart...
We will all see You one day when we pass on...
And You with Your beauty will welcome us home...

Repenting Enduring Repeating

Repenting Enduring Repeating

Lost in an abyss of thoughts
Disappointments oblivion brought.
Self-centered loathing caught.
This, instead of perfection sought.

Confusion instead of understanding –
Weariness instead of perkiness –
Paranoia instead of certainty –
This, instead of gladness sought.

Why?  I read words and want to cry.
I seek hope, but wish to die.
I have lost the will to try.
This, never-ending onslaught…

Bombards my former good thoughts.
And to life, has a great void brought.
Satan’s sickness…must have been caught.
This, instead of perfection sought.

Stop.  Stop!  Stop and set an ending –
Remember moments of happiness –
Look around and see reality –
Accept the good gifts that life has brought.

There is too much beauty to wail and cry.
Life is good; wish not to die.
Endure to the end…always try.
Disregard evil onslaughts.

I will let God’s beauty fill my thoughts.
Accept the love that to earth He brought.
Sing His hymns; find great joy sought.
Receiving perfection by His blood bought.

(Repenting…enduring…repeating…)
