Best Leap Of Faith Poems
maybe
my works are only writes
should poetry speak
sing
or both
and more
can ideas
without a rhythm
still fall in the category
i believe
in touch
can you feel me
inhale
the scent of
the crackle of burning logs
hear
the whisper of flapping wings
see
the eyes that see you
or taste
a leap of faith -love
paint with words
write in every colour
with a suggestive set in the grasp of sky
is
isn’t
we decide
still i wonder
how does the rebel fit in
or they
who have no music in their pen
can they shape it
like a figure to admire
is this just a write
no label required
i thought i’d ask
is all poetry an orchestra conducted
Stood on the roof of the Empire State
Two American men and their new English mate
It’s true that a bourbon or two had been had
Perhaps that’s what made them all act a bit mad
The Englishman, clearly, had drunk a bit more
His friends shared a secret which made them guffaw
One asked their English friend if he had heard
That bourbon allows you to fly like a bird
The Englishman grinned. ‘I’m not falling for that,
If I tried to fly I would fall and go splat!’
So one of his mates jumped right down to the street
Bounced all the way up to land back on his feet
‘My, that’s amazing,’ the Englishman said,
‘If I had done that I would be a bit dead.’
‘Nonsense,’ the other American said,
‘If you won’t do it, I’ll do it instead.’
True to his word he jumped down to the street
Bounced all the way up to land back on his feet
The Englishmen gasped. ‘I can’t believe that
You jumped off the roof but you didn’t go splat.’
So both the Americans said he was scared
And after a while the Englishman dared
‘Okay,’ he said, ‘I think I could do that.’
He jumped and smashed into the ground with a splat
They gazed at the gory result of their plan
And Spiderman said, ‘That was mean, Superman.’
***
Secretly watching from behind a tree
He thought to himself ‘They could never kill me.’
For they hadn’t known his identity.
Or that the ‘splat’ was ground beef for his tea
He hadn’t harboured malicious intent
When he had adopted an English accent
But in their ‘day wear’ he still knew what it meant
When young Peter Parker said, ‘Meet Mr Kent.’
It was nice to see that the graveyard was stuffed
He grinned to see Spidey and Superman cuffed
Soon he'd step out for his mourners to see
For now, Batman giggled hysterically

Follow me to a ledge inside my mind & observe
as I leap
Many are very close to the edge but scared to jump
because they're weak
Being afraid to fall isn't the problem, it's only natural
to fear the crash
When you reach the bottom, you see yourself staring
back from a looking glass
Throw all your caution to the wind & feel the air beneath
your wings
A cage bird is free within its mind & you can hear it
when it sings
There are many things to fear in life, but fear itself is the
only cause
Don't be afraid to grow for that stunts your growth &
amplifies all your flaws
Cause & effect is natures law so it must be treated
with respect
Once I was blind to mothers' rules, but now I see
in retrospect
Have faith in self & take the leap, you just may be
caught before you fall
Once you let go, you'll see the truth, there was nothing
to fear after all
All alone in the world
Things can only get better
Abandoned by family and friends
You will prevail in the end
Battle back and jump aboard
Place yourself in the hands of the Lord
He will guide and protect you
~ Select for you the perfect chord
Not long after The Beginning,
There were Animals and there was Man.
A great chasm lay between, that legend said
Only a Leap of Faith could span.
Animals seemed happy on their side;
For, after all, such a leap could not be done
“Make the best it,” they all said;
All, that is, but one.
There stood Dog, alone upon the brink,
The distant Man’s reflection shining in his eyes;
Something was robbing Dog of peace;
Something was urging him to try.
Compelled, he stood and stared,
Nothing could distract his gaze.
Now and then, Horse would come;
Each time, the same old words to say.
“I understand. I really do.
I admit it. I’ve thought about it too;
But it’s too far for me to jump,
It’s certainly too far for you”.
One day, as Horse spoke his words,
Cat rudely interrupted with a sneer.
“Go ahead and try. You’ll break your silly neck.
You can’t go there. Your place is here”.
More resolute now, his vigil became duty;
Still, he often wondered, “Why?”
But something deep inside kept saying,
“You must. You must. It’s do…or die”.
Then, one day, he turned and walked away.
Oh, yes, he’d need a running start.
He knew now, he had the Will;
But only a Leap of Faith could prove his Heart.
Just before he made his Leap of Faith,
Dog saw the loneliness in Man’s eyes.
“He needs a friend, someone to help
And always stand right by”.
With those unselfish thoughts,
Dog had reason, he felt whole.
And well he should, for at that very moment,
God granted Dog a Soul!
But Souls don’t come so easy,
And his leap was short that day.
If Dog was to make a Leap of Faith,
Man would have the final say.
Dog’s faith was truly tested, front paws upon the edge.
He hoped Man’s eyes hadn’t lied.
Then Man’s Heart swelled and touched his Soul.
He helped Dog up and placed him proudly at his side.
Oh, so jealous was Cat I’m told;
His eyes turned green that day.
“Oh, you are an heroic mutt;
A friend of Man, you say?
I’ll make that leap by myself.
You can bet, I’ll find a way”.
So, Dog had made the Leap of Faith.
He and Man became Best Friends.
So it shall be, for all eternity;
That is to say, until the Very End.
On a lonely cliff wings spread wide I am readying to leap.
GOD said he would appoint angels to guard my keep.
Tired of living in the cold dark of night.
I find my soul craving the comforting warmth of light.
Images flood my mind of what I will see
but how do I learn to trust again my once broken wings?
I am shown too many signs that I am meant to soar.
That my current circumstances are temporary. I am meant for much more.
Look me in the eyes and allow me to wander your soul.
Learn the psychology behind the scars that took their toll.
Create a world that exist outside of time.
Question is...When I look you in the eyes do you get lost in mine?
Hawk: visionary power, guardianship, messenger (akin to Mercury - Messenger of the Gods)
I took a leap of faith, into the unknown.
To stay would have been my undoing.
Not another moment could I endure,
of my life with you...treated like a whore,
a housekeeper, a slave, to your whims and moods.
All unpaid.
My mother's blessing came that very day,
when she said we should split, go our separate ways.
I had confessed how you had mistreated me,
all down the years. She stood by me,
emboldened me, to face down my fears.
Off you go! Good riddance too!
I'm trying not to hate you.
Twenty three years of disrespect.
Enough was enough, you were so inept
at being a husband, or even a man.
When I think of you now,
I just say, "God damn!!"
His
Withers quiver
With power from his hooves,
Tough thunder. He whinnies and snorts...
He flies.
I am going to write a funny poem
Is the sky going to fall on you?
Why do you think it's gonna fall on me?
See where it's heading
No I am limitless remember?
Wonderful triumph
What are you talking about?
A road leads to nowhere
Is there ever one?
Satisfaction
What is that?
Till the next one lol?
What you say - go
What I say - whoe
Had enough lol
The missing piece
What is that?
Am I a puzzle?
Seems like we are in for fair weather
Who said?
Not me
A weatherman
Better be upstairs
'cause the one down here is wrong
Hallelujah
One more step for mankind
Does that mean for me?
No for man kind
Just kidding
For women kind - it's a two steps
Maybe more than a two steps
It's a thousand steps
Because we never rest
Alright that is enough for now
Because if you ask me - it's a no
Before it's show
Before it's a go
Go where?
Who knows?
But it 's a go
Haha
I am going to bed
Forlorn in demeanor,
Thyself with heart in tatters.
Solemn and beseeched,
I'm near the edge
Of loves rapturous foreboding precipice.
Shall my torturous soul
Commit it’s self to the abyssal unknowns
Of sacrificial acquiescence to thee?
A force neither trustworthy nor forgiving
As it warms chilled hearts
And sooths with passionate death.
Unwitting those of lesser toils within,
True to their salvation,
But blind to its deceit
And yet give reverence to thee.
Alas shall I not gaze into eyes of splendor
Nor taste passion upon sweet lips?
Forsake the essence of purity sought,
And forgo righteous happenings within thy being.
To this unknown I ponder
And thus negates my apotheosis of thee.
Enlighten my sorrowful remnants of gayety
And subservient obedience to thee
As was once remembered.
At this I shall take that leap of faith
And boldly plunge thyself into the depths
Of your infinite sanctity
I jump from the roof
Hoping you’ll be there to save.
I hit the ground, hard.
(This is dedicated to my daughter)
They say he sits on a throne,
His chosen on his right,
A force of good,
Giver of Light,
Always unbelieving,
He was not plain to see,
Until I became Co-creator,
Your existence,
Evident to me.
Mighty is your power,
Realization and now respected,
I am always forgiven,
Never rejected.
Your cloth as white as snow,
Your signature in the heavens,
Very plain to see.
A spirit forged in your kingdom,
Then delivered unto me.
Thank you.
Silence is my enemy.
If it appears and you leave,
I won’t be alive anymore,
And though I’ll live, I’d rather die.
Yet I’m tempted by the abyss of your mind
And the shadows it brings.
The promise of fruit makes beggars dance,
And me resist.
Every day I could impress upon you a million reasons
Were you not fasting so strictly from temptations.
So I know,
That when the time comes I’ll have my proof.
Your eyes will belong to me,
And I will extract my vengeance from them.
We will stand on the edge of that cliff
And jump into the valleys of eternity
That lie in crevices of our minds,
And the earth will move on unaffected
As the universe changes within us.
That day, I will be fearless,
I will be fearless.
I walk and walk and walk
There comes a time a point
Of choice for stepping on to track
Or to continue on the path of Enlightenment
The self to open or the self to pack
With each having pots of promises
Yet Oh! The dilemma for the self
Was I a part or apart of the many
Was the time to decide
A part or apart without faith
Was said to be a faith part..
And I choose faith to open
And to walk out in the open
Part selfish part compassion
Were my tools to be sharpened
Time had its spontaneity
Tide had its Curiosity
And in between I had my duty
A duty full of Servitude
Little did matter careless attitude
The path was full of tests
Of survival and of crests
I ask myself often
How could I walk the length
Had it not been an invisible Gratitude........
And I walk And I Walk And I Walk..
