Best Odds Poems

Hearts made of wax, sent through the mail 
Should help relax, instead I wail,
They will soon melt in time's hot hands,
Loneliness is felt midst life's strands;

Hearts made of glass shatter and fail
When griefs harass, they don't prevail,
What use are these hearts so feeble,
Poor pleas of...

News
heard through
the grapevine
when a heatwave
threatened July’s joy
a baby girl was born
against all odds (while on air
Phil Collins sang to make a point)
tears ran down a happy mother’s face. 
At last, the closure of an empty space.

In the desert of doubt and fear,
A flower blooms, resilient and clear.
Like this bloom, we stand tall and bright,
Nurturing our passions, through day and night.

The desert's harsh conditions test our will,
But we draw strength from our inner still.
We brave the burning sand, and weather the...

Read the Grahams and Templetons.
Sifted the Calvinists and Arminians.
Tried to qualify the Mortals and Venials.
John’s comfort was lost in Hebrew’s six.

I got the faith and conviction in
The Holy Ghost and Christ the Son.
Been given clear skies and sight,
but pre-meditated sins still done.

Eternal security for some...

An ember cloud and fireballs
lit up the sky,
as the lovers embraced
each other in deep
moment of love.

They held each other's
arms and kissed
as though time had
stopped.

The two lovers turned to pillars
of ash as Mount Vesuvius
spewed out lava and rocks
all over Pompeii.

Their love was so deep and powerful,
that...

To take a risk and live trying 
  always resume positive thinking
    with reasonable doubt inquiring 
      making love instead of secretly dying
       
For what is life living with a...

He's speaking his mind

No woman around to hear

Beating the Odds


Life’s breath contained in heaving chest
slow breaking wave in angry crest
rushing toward the rock strewn shore
ragged rocks that ripped and tore
released the pain of rueful shriek
warning call to those who seek.

Never knowing what is real
what to think - or feel
never knowing how to...

Against all odds by Phuti Morifi
Breaking it loose from the toughness
Moving the mountainous stones not slipping trough the rocks
Walking a thorny road barefooted and  ignoring the bleeding pain
That’s where it all started

In a small world beneath my  breast there is a beat
Everything ...

Have you ever had to live with a father who abused the ones you loved?
Ever had to sit back and pray because it is just too much?
Ever had to live up to the potential of someone else and fail?
Ever had to face the world with...

While kneeling and praying and talking to God;
He said He did not like seeing the sisters at odds.
He was tired of the cussing, fussing and fighting,
He was tired of the gossip, strife and backbiting.

We say we are His children and we love Him so,
And the...

Until I saw it for myself,
I never knew the power of
Innocent kisses stolen at every given chance,
the holding of hands throughout the store,
the little moments of pleasure we give ourselves
when we are alone,
just by thinking of that special one;
I never knew the power of
love.
So when,
after...

There is a girl
In a world
Far away from here
Where no fear
Can ever be conceled.
Her irritations are followed by 
cathartic absolution
And even on the most stormy of 
nights,
She glistens in the invisible,
Shinning light.
Her heart; 
Can see no wrong
Her eyes; 
Brighter then the sun upon dawn
She is...
