Best Girds Poems

This February will not usher spring,
wisteria like grapes hung on their roods;
more pewter shadows does the season bring.
Now I've misplaced all the beatitudes

to lambent grasses flocking on the mount
as spring green creepers tendril up the posts,
the lilac blossoms teeming like a fount
of amulets to stay...

I sit in upright chair feet firm on ground
Hands held in form of prayer as I intone
Phrase taken from the Psalms, without a sound
‘My soul, wait silently for God alone.’ 

Thus seated many things seek to distract
Intrude my mind; I’ve learned to let them go
In...

rocky plain girds base
icy ramparts ballast slopes
frozen mantle crowns...

What wild glee behind your tame grin lurks?
What shy sun fears to breach your heart’s horizon?
And to against your hidden teeth of 
Alabaster gleam. Bestowing upon the earth the breadth of 
Your delight. With rays of a beam that girds 
Time at the waist.
The meekest...

GIRL OF PARIS AT CHAMP DE MARS
Beneath the girds of steel, rising to the sky;
where tourists go to watch the world go by;
the children come to play, and lovers walk
through myriads of life and idle talk,

this is the Champ de Mars where Paris goes
to show...

I tried to hold onto you but could not—
You slipped through my fingers as water will
When run through a sieve. And how like the plot
Of some dime-store pulp it all seems now -- shrill

Yet so furtive.  I tried to be humble,
To seem nonchalant; but...

You haven’t found among notable faces
Or even quotable phrases
Any bankable aces
Even as your appetite chases

Though the teaching remains taught
The pursuits remain unsought
For many hearts resist being wrought
By the Blood of Christ, by which we are bought

Through the years of evasiveness and quiet
The loud silence births...

I do hunger and yearn for the Almighty’s righteousness
To enjoy His offered relationship-graciousness
Only He can fill my soul’s grievous emptiness
Midst my heart’s need for total forgiveness 
With His redemption-completeness.

I now hunger for God’s approval that brings Him glory
By faith’s appetite, vanquishing unbelief-misery…
Trusting His promises of...

I hear the words. In autumn's silent verse
lie anapestic wafts of falling leaves
with golden syllables both bright and terse,
the crimson pluck of summer as it grieves

its loss of verdant shimmer.  In the wake
of crisp and subtle gusts the florid blades
crescendo as the sunlight comes...

Not every woman’s dream 
 	of procreation 

can be fulfilled;

not every woman dreams
	of procreation, 

her body thrilled.

But loved and lovers’ inclinations – 
	recreation
not 	re-creation – 
cannot, will not be stilled.

until

one day

intervention
bypassed her – 

she –  unplanned –  filled
her womb with him – 

left...

The man when born
and die,
In ruefully and
spiritless sigh,
And in middle of his
youth, he uproar,
Again and again
loath, with roar,
In this fiery
arrogant ways he
astonish,
His vitality and
humanity of mannish,
In this mid of
couple years he
repercussion,
And made a blast of
hatred ness with
emotion,
To show off his
power he transgress,
Make all petite
things mess,
A...

Gentle words from a tongue have a honeyed flavor
Utterances... "from the mouth of the wise bring favor
But the lips of the stupid one will be his ruin."*
Even if he foolishly doesn't know what he's doin.'

To my ears, a soft voice is as pleasant as trilling...

God guides greatly
Governs gaze gently
Gears Gospel-gain gloriously…

God’s goodness
Generates giving graciousness
Gathering golden grain-grandness…

Guarding getting, gluttonous
Garrisoning greed-guilt, grievous
God girds grounded going, gorgeous…

Generously granting 
Garnished growth gravitating 
God goads grateful gladness-greeting…

God’s glamor glitters
Glows, glistens, glisters
Glorifying godliness-glinters.

*Psalm 86:10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

With sounds that gather round the ocean’s shore,
the whimsied muse her lithesome being girds
in utterances from unfathomed store.

Akin to Alice dwelling in absurds
the words go round and round in Cheshire grin
when off I go on romp of rhyming thirds

in artless manner, thus to just begin
meandering...
