Best Like A Son Poems

Can I ask a question of you my friend?
   Have you started drinking from the bottle again?
You look so down it’s clear to see.
   What you really need is to be set free.
The answer to your problems they won’t be found.

Crimson Rose 

Against all odds, your destiny, 
To live and grow, your history...
You grew and bloomed with all your might 
With drops of rain and harsh sunlight 
Through crack in earth you came to be. 

Passed down from Greek mythology; 
Adonis born from Myrrha's tree...

In the deepest river caverns, in the furtherest chambers of my soul,
       There are secrets hidden there that can ne'er be told.
Secrets of another life, another way, another time.
       Secrets hidden for eons...

Abraham Abraham
from where did you come
what made you Gods favorite
why were you like a son

was it because of special care
that you gave to his name
while others made up other god's
you worshiped the only real one

with in your heart you held a secret
and it could not...

A beautiful tree
Grew
It faced the sun
Every day
New leaves revealed
Such magic
Has begun

I watched it grow
Over the years
I talked with it too
Just like a son
That I had come to know

Strong and true
It grew
And grew
Such beautiful branches and leaves
Every season
A new colour
I loved it too

A tree
That I knew
Had...

Christmas roses are red, and violets are so very blue…
Dear Santa. We love our dear Dragon and hope you do, too.
Nightly, visions of colors dance round and round his big bed. 
As delusions of grandeur… continuously dance in his head.

For him sugar plums dance swirling,...

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego:
These may not be three names you know,
But have a seat and I will tell
How they survived a fiery hell
As servants of their God, Most High,
Praised no false gods, would rather die
Than bow to idols of a king,
Pledge fealty to a golden thing.

These...

Many people think
they know what faith is all about
They stand up and profess it
but inside them, lingers doubt
I prayed to God, some years ago
To show me what Faith is
That I might understand it well
just like a Son of His
I did not know the path I...

We had a dog that was so dear to us.
He died in April of the year before.
He was so faithful and he did not fuss
like some dogs do. I couldn’t love him more
than how I loved that darling pet of ours.
He liked to be with...

When everything and everyone repel from you
Because of the evil you emanate,
Your hushed shadow always stays with you-
It stays true like a son, or a loving dog,
right at your heels, never talking.
Speechless as a stick.

But beware
When that very Shadow starts stalking you
Since it has had...

Ex, T-Rex, Box, Spandex, Sex, Tux.
Ex, a person who used to make you the happiest,
Ex, an ******* you are better off not having in your life.
T-Rex, the mightiest of the dinosaurs,
T-Rex, also a reminder that even the greatest things can die out.
Box, a cardboard container...

In the desert of desolation,
I feel this all-to-familiar frustration
Get the hell away from me…negativity…
Flee from me, unsatisfied soul of envy 

I yearn for something more
You’re the one I adore
You’re the one I adore

You deserted me long ago 
The wind blew to and fro
Never mind…I will...

The snow fell down.
It covered the ground,
in a blanket of white.
What a beautiful sight.
Children grinned from ear to ear.
As they saw the heavenly snow appear.
There were thoughts of playing in the snow.
Building a snowman, with eyes of coal.
The snow is enjoyed by young and old.
Everyone...

I’ve let everyone down to be exact…
I am a proven-guilty fact (a false fact)
Optimism and pessimism sure have its arms around me at all times
I wish I had a black and white checkered pirate ship of my own sometimes
I over-complicate things too many times
I’m growing...

Have I used my gift for gain, O Dear Lord,
     and fattened myself with dishonest wealth?
Have I sought wicked vengeance through the sword, 
     and schemed against my wanton neighbor's health?

But, like a son, I have been...
