Best Mkt Poems
I stare at this lonely blank page of white
Never knowing exactly just what to write
Do I pen something happy or something quite sad
Show forth some laughter or show that I'm mad
Maybe show them the Creator and all that He gives
Or show them the darkness where my soul really lives
Something rude or crude or passions searing heat
Or the dirty dark secrets of life on the street
No matter what I write no matter what I say
I will keep going on just to write another day

I sit here alone in the night looking out at the horizon
watching as the gathering storm clouds are outlined
by flashes of lightning in the inky blackness
The wind begins lashing at the trees as the fury
of the storm draws ever nearer and the rolling
cascade of thunder reaches my ears
The raw energy within the towering clouds remind
me of you and a pang of longing flows through me
at the memory of those days and nights together
It was a time when our love was fanned by the
winds of passion and desire and it burned white
hot like the lightning flashing across the skies
But all too soon the winds calmed and the passion
faded and you simply turned and walked away...
leaving in your wake the wreckage of our love
The pouring rain forces me from my memories as
the heat of remembered passion is cooled and
brokenheartedly I sit here alone...

I want to write a love poem to you...
Not a script of lust and passion and burning desire, but...
One from deep within my own beating heart written with
the hopes and dreams of things to come that can carry
us into forever...
I want to write a love poem to you...
To express in words that which these lips of clay cannot...
One that will carry us far beyond impossible situations to
a place of peace and tranquility where all things are possible...
I want to write a love poem to you...

It's so hard to be brave
sitting alone in the dark
when every little sound
can give you a start
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Then something moves
and you know not why
in your own mind you're
sure you're going to die
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Is it a ghost or a demon
or some other imp of hell
or just your imagination
sometimes it's so hard to tell
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Goosebumps run wild
and your heart starts to race
you are too scared to run
the terror shows on your face
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You hear it draw nearer
then the scratching of claws
you sit shaking in the dark
awaiting that tooth filled maw
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You squeal like a little sissy girl
when you hear a hiss and a spat
and the evil for which you wet
yourself was only that darn cat
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The essence of you swirls and
flows around me like a wild thing
that moves just outside the light
that is the burning flames of love
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Sometimes coming so close that
the flames dance with wild desire
and other times moving away and
leaving them as cooling embers
waiting to once more be fanned
into heartwarming flames of love

Abandoned, broken and forlorn
it stands darkly upon a hill
A ghostly form is seen there
and screams are heard so shrill
She wanders through the Manor
a place no one comes anymore
but children show their bravery
by running up to touch the door
She's searching for her lost love
the one that left her far behind
He ran off to be with another
and she slowly lost her mind
The years have come and gone
but her pain will last forever
Her white dress stained a crimson red
from the artery she did sever
Now are you brave or are you fearful
as you creep towards her front door
Because if you are just a bit too slow
you will be hers for evermore

Happy Halloween
As the sands of time
pass through my hands
I realize it waits for
no person nor their plans
We pass through this life
in the blink of an eye
and at times it seem that
we are only born to die
mkt
The winds of loneliness
blows through my soul...
Like the winter winds
blowing across a frozen
desolate landscape...
Making all that lives there
hide deep underground...
Until warmth and life
returns once more...

Before our Savior
hung on that tree
where He gave His life
for you and me
He was bound to another
tall trunk of wood
stripped bare and naked
He meekly stood
It was Pilates order
that brought Him there
to appease the elders
for whom he had no care
The crowd gathered round
Mary was in their midst
wanting only her son
His dear face to kiss
It was whips of leather
tied with lead and bone
that was used by the soldiers
of the Empire of Rome
With the crack of the whip
Mary fell to her knees
as His cries rang out
her anguish all could see
With each swing of the whip
His blood fell like rain
but with the promise of healing
from sickness and pain
With each stripe they gave
His precious blood was spilled
and the prophet Isaiah’s
words were fulfilled
Isaiah 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon Him;
and with His stripes we are healed.

I fight in a war that none can see
An internal strife between myself and me
Will I fall to the dark or walk in the light
give in to despair or stand up and fight
Two paths lie ahead and I must choose
which way to go there's so much to lose
Will it be the one that is narrow and straight
or is the winding one going to be my fate
One leads to death, turmoil and strife
the other to God and eternal life
Through traps and snares I must fight
I'll win this battle through God's holy might

I wander the garden path that winds
among the colorful crepe myrtle trees
Its lined with ferns, hostas and flowering
coralbells eagerly sought by honey bees
Hidden within the lush greenery and rocks
lies a tiny fairy village thats filled with delight
Within, it has it's own little pathway and
cartwheeling fairies that are such a sight
The sun drenched beds of lilies are filled
with all the different colors of the rainbow
Swaying in the warm breeze while reaching
for the sun they are putting on quite a show
The peacefulness here in my little garden
washes away all the cares of the day
A place where it's very sights and sounds
help me hear all that my Creator has to say

I'm trying not
to go insane
wrapped up in
my bubble of pain
Dark are the days
and bitter the fight
as chaos reigns
in my world tonight
The voices shout
and the demons cheer
as I slowly lose
all that I hold so dear
The angels tears
they fall like rain
as I lay defeated in
my bubble of pain

As the swirling winds of autumn
Play among the colorful fallen leaves
Children’s laughter can be heard
Over the swishing of a rake

All I say and all I do
looses nothing but
chaos upon my life
So I go to seek out
a place of solitude
A hideaway from all
of my pain and suffering
A place where maybe the
brokenness will mend
And dreams will come
and live again

I walk in the twilight …
in that in-between place which separates
the darkness from the light …
That place where colors and dreams are
washed out into differing shades of gray …
and they slowly fade away into the nothingness
of what was …
disappearing from the future of what could
have been …
Where the ghosts of lost friendships and
lost loves are my only companions …
the weight of despair is crushing my soul
with a cold indifference …
and a feeling of hopelessness engulfs all …
