Best My Soul Laid Bare Poems

Save Me, That I May Rise Again To Stand

Where it that good-morrow brought thee again
save my broken soul from love-lust in sin!
Heal my heart, stop my nights of great sorrows
offer thy hand, promise of tomorrows.

Thinking back to love-nights we never slept
agony, I fell and viciously...

When it came to dating I had a soul full of sorrow
But all of my friends told me to hang in there
When we met I felt you looking into my soul
My soul laid bare with all protection lost
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
And...

Happy is my heart again, for I'm no longer confused.
At last I've found escape from a life that I'd abused.
Peace is mine since my Creator heard my confession.
Please, I begged of Him, rid me of guilt and depression.
In sorrow I fell to my knees. "Oh,...

He's broken into my heart
Climbed all the walls of my self protection
So precariously constructed
Past my guard against a possibility of being wounded and betrayed
My soul laid bare before him to crush or embrace
If I told him,
How will he react?
I value our friendship more than he...

Who can hear, the mornings call?
The dead dove's body, as it des fall.
Who can see through, the dead man's eyes?
As the burning sun, falls from the skies.

What once was new, has now become old,
What once was alive, has now become cold,
What you believed, was worth...

In the depths of gloomy memories,
Where shadows dance and light fades,
A tapestry of thoughts unravels,
Some to resolve, some to cherish,
And others, the heart-wrenching stains.
The hours slip away like sand,
A barrelhead of moments to pay,
Eyes filled with love for wife and child,
Scenes of heart's backslapping play,
Thoughts...

I am open to reality
But as of yet
I have not witnessed 
An ounce of concrete proof

And believe me I searched
If only for me  
With eyes wide open
My soul laid bare

Spent in search 
Desperately looking
For an out

Anything with which to return
To carry worthy of a...

Tomorrows sunshine a fingertip away;
A tentative soul willing to play;
A soul laid bare, fully exposed;
Formerly withdrawn, but now unclothed;
Through night to dawn;
Through black to white;
Through pain to pleasure; 
Through death to life;
Merged and committed;
For your love.

Realest thing
 I ever wrote:
flesh melted away
soul laid bare 
 light flickering 
hoping her spirit 
recognized the
way through this maze
all men are confined to
Entice my humanity 
climax, a wonderful 
calamity 
causing my mind 
to cascade
creating waterfalls 
from sun dunes
and I felt all this
in between the
first...

Who's under there?
Heaven? Hell? Soul laid bare
God really care?
Be Christian - take dare!...

How often have I blundered
at the precipice
with brimming enthusiasm
hollowed by doubt and
want for survival?

With breath arrived a passion
to express beyond mere words
the notion that we are never alone
even when gripped by horrors
wrought against fellows.

Along your spiral spine I climb.
Your teeth clamor knowingly
with palpable fear at...

Dear Chantal, we’re not talking anymore, but I’ll write this anyway
You came into my life when I was in a bad place
I pushed you away and every day the regret I fight it everyday
That was 3 years ago but I’m still in a sad state

I’ve...

If I could pick someone to share
This life to live without compare
I’d look your way and not despair
And ask you if you’d boldly dare
Allow this once, we’ll be a pair
You return my gaze and softly swear 
Can’t catch my breath, I need more air
I run...

Unworthy of the Watchtowers gaze
No gentle guiding dove
A million miles away, was He
The God I chose to love

Abused, my innocence defiled
By those I’m taught to trust
My words rebuked, my soul beguiled
As nails that turn to rust

Told what to read and what to wear
A collective consciousness,...

Breath of Grace Lyric

I can’t explain it – this nothing to live for day
Rock bottom shame – spirit bleeding
Slashed by yesterday’s regret – soul out on the edge
Can’t face another sunrise…

Lost in a labyrinth – running from “if only”
Hunted by the past – no escaping...
