Best Keep Back Poems

Richard Lamoureux has not forgotten me during my absence. He faithfully visits my older writes and leaves lovely encouraging comments. While I'm busy working on my thesis, I got this notification on this poem. 

Richard's comment: I felt like I read it for the first...

Take my hand and let me lead you
Let your strong hand be pliant 
In my soft and tiny one
Let me lead you

Enjoy the journey
Knowing my heart is a true compass
The map to my hidden treasure clear
Be trusting as a child
I will protect your heart from...

I see you bent low
Your head in your hands
Tears dropping on the table cloth
The heavy sighs that no one can hear
Fill my ear
Even past the wall 
Between eternity and finite time
I hear
I see
Your guardian angel is near
My orders from the throne
To protect you from harm
Physical….spiritual
To...

The power is out
but rather than pout
I'll sit down and write a few rhymes

It makes me so happy
to write something snappy
when life throws me lemons or limes

My eccentricity
denied electricity
comes out in the open to play

Without hesitation
my imagination
shall leave quite a mark on this day

When out...

Your punishing look;
With such venom in your eyes,
Casts dispersions upon my character;
As if my entirety you despise.
Though my error was one of innocence,
Under a rock I wish to crawl.
Your punishing look;
Can no pleasantries you recall?

Your questioning look;
Causes me too, to doubt myself;
Perhaps indeed my motives...

Perhaps, I might be blind at anytime,
The present, I know, I'd beaten the time.
Though then, I was down in the dumps
Now, I cocks an ear and eye at the pumps.
Now, I'm not living in cloud cuckoo land,
I behold facts in what is my hand.
Power shouldn't...

Keep back

You are an object in my rear view mirror
You may appear closer than you are

Keep your distance

Sudden breaking

This vehicle is reversing

This vehicle is emptied overnight...

Stop South Africa  now  
The mirror never lie
In your reflection 
Right in front of your eyes
All you see speaks 
that face right in front of your view
Shows who it is you see
So when you look in the 
Mirror 
All you see is you...

My unbearable pain tries to choke my soul
Trying to take over
Trying to swallow me whole
 
It mangles everything that I ever believed in
Making me think
Think that I committed a shoddier sin

It tears at my heart
Till it pours crimson red
All the memories raging through my head

Being...

Spring has spent her youth
her hours have swiftly gone
summer comes burning like an aching tooth
Dusty wind blow softly on

Keep back the blasting heat
that leaves no stone to rest upon
the very earth burns the feet
Dusty wind blow softly on

Gently kiss one last spring flower
bury her seed...

A biblical woman
who sold a possession
She wanted more money
kept back part of the price
agreed with her honey

A biblical woman
She lied to keep back more
did not lie unto men
but she lied unto God
She fell dead in the end

A biblical woman
Putting on a facade
Pretending before men
But God...

Heaven kisses earth 
In Holy refining Fire
Here you bore me 
At the foot of the Cross
Your blood flowed
Washed me
Here you gave me birth 
In such travail

I know not how 
You could have borne this anguish
This excruciating pain
My pure true - Turtle Dove
You willingly laid down...

eyes hurt
but cant stop moving
clicking fingers
send letters sprawling across
too-bright screen
knew it would be like this
tonight
nothing to do
but wish someone was here
to be awake with me
in three hours
it will be a full day without sleep
sleep
sleep
dont need sleep
and conversations had
at 5 o'clock in the morning
only end in...

Oh oh oh
Do I love my soul more than my heart 
Does my love spill over the top 
Will the blood flow continue to drop,  stop
I am alive 
I am alive


I like to use words like victory 
I like to use words like I'm...

If Allah do any harm to you
No one else but Allah can remove it
If He wants to do some good to you
There’s none to keep back His favors a bit
He gives it to the servants of His liking
And He is the Most Forgiving Merciful Being....
