Best Pay A Price Poems
I can cry at night when the world is lost in sleep,
I can divert my mind with your thoughts when the wounds run deep!
But tonight I sit & wonder what is it you do when in pain?
Are there things that can make you cry & are you able to regain?
I wonder if your mind is put to rest after you weep?
Or are your insecurities too big to let you sleep?
I wish I was your Angel...wrap you in my arms and fly away...
To a place where you can live your life your way!
I wish to take you to my little world & hope for the time to hold,
I'll show you the diamond sky & the sun of gold!
Just a bit more further & there they stand...
Smiling at the Sun, no matter what turn it takes, that's exactly where they(Sunflowers) bend!
Let me take you to the top of a mountain, from where you'll see the Sun roll,
or do you wish to see the sparkling waters swallow the fireball.
Have you ever spoken to the wind or heard the rustling leaves,
or did you ever wish to follow the twinkling glow of those tiny creatures in one of those summery silent nights when the world rests in peace?
Let the droplets splash on your face & let the heavens break free;
handover those worries to the Rain while you dance with glee!
I wish to ease your pain, want you to leave them behind,
for you they are not worth, erase them from your mind!
I see a flicker of doubt in your eyes...but is it always so important for you to act wise?
Life has cheated you in a thousand ways but I promise, for this you'll not have to pay a price!
I wish to be your Angel; so what if only for a day...
I promise to love you forever though I know someday you'll want to leave me & go away!
With a parting of the crimson seas,
they aren't appeased with just a smile
That girl who walks the star-struck mile
will pay a price that goes unseen
They catch a glimpse and swallow whole.
Then nonchalantly steal her soul,
with no remorse or thought of deeds, ...
just goals to slice her thin, and spill her name,
upon red carpets dyed with greed.
Beneath stiletto stilts she comes.
They think it's fun behind the lie,
that masquerades to dazzle eyes.
Are lonely hearts so worth the prize
while clamored lust engulfs and drowns?
The flashbulbs light the milky way
while voices scream among the fray,
and peel the starlight's skin away.
There is a hole, deep in the dark,
as black as death without a spark
A friend to trust, or out to gain?
To rub a shoulder, hug the fame?
She's guided by an elbow's charm,
disarmed, by tabloids, drowns alone
They're hell-bent on the mystery
The secrets of her universe
A paper doll is thrown to wolves,
is just a soul who has rehearsed
to fade and die, alone........
alone.......with a million flashbulbs drugging her,
...then dragging her.....as she tumbles from the throne....

The moonlight shined off her hair,
With beauty beyond compare.
The starlight captured in her eyes,
Too bad tonight is the night that she dies.
The pounding he feels in her chest,
Puts any doubts of this to rest.
The blood pumping in her veins,
Makes the hunger override his pain.
He loves her without compare,
But this night her blood she'll share.
His immortal heart will break,
Their first kiss sealed her fate.
As the hunger takes control,
The blood lust begins to take its toll.
As his fangs breaks her skin,
Her death does feed his sins.
His immortality made him pay a price,
No one ever said vampires lives were nice.
Now she's dead in his arms,
He swears not to fall for another's charms.
As tears of blood roll down his cheeks,
He holds her and doesn't speak.
At first this life was fun,
But now he vows to meet the sun.
Dedication is to my Friends who avoid judging:
You are not the judge
But judge you must
For earthly matters and such
Leave hell to satan or demons
But Heaven in fragrances of your words:
Epitaph, apology, poetry, piety, congrats - -
Even angels fall, why not us (Adamic) mortals -
When pride and ego explode in ungodly challenge!

Between writing, editing, posting this simple offering ... the good & bad in Me & of South Africa today, asserted themselves: our electricity brownouts & blackouts affect internet, editing, posting, and consistent connection. My one service provider, MTN, has been back today for a few hours now (after more than a weak of zero internet connectivity). You pay a price: seeing many versions of this JUDGEMENT poem. Shalom
Last thoughts of anyone we cannot know
unless they voice those thoughts, which would be nice -
to hear their love expressed as they let go . . .
Unfortunate are those who pay a price
for years misspent! Regret they surely feel
to see no loved ones gathered round their bed.
Imagine letting go - heart filled with zeal
because it was a decent life you led!
I think last thoughts can be of joy and grace,
for some pass on with a smile on their face!

There are times in our lives
That hurt beyond belief,
Broken hearted, how to cope
With pain, and bitter grief.
For the joy of existence
We always pay a price,
Yet we would pay with diamonds,
For this precious thing, called life.
7th October, 2023. Israel.
“Shabbat Mourning”
the War commenced
with morning, rudely awakened,
unrest.
some say,
it has arrived,
the biblical Apocalypse.
some say,
not war, just another
haggling loose rabble skirmish.
Hamas
says,
“God is Great!”
Netanyahu
says,
“we are at War!
And we will
win
this War!”
everything over
before begun;
Winter is coming
harsher than
before
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
“Our enemy will pay a price the type of which it has never known,” Netanyahu said in a video statement.
Warnings on the shore throw red flags at danger
Hail stones make noise on planks in anger
Attack the pirate ships that crash the lifeless rocks
The ice by now turns into rain but can't turn back
It matters not to nature that they came this way
Sailors can't see or read the color red from nights mistakes
Under the cloak of darkness observations make them blind
Nautical naivety is mean to those who have no sight to see
Drowning in new depths of ignorance
Eager to look the other way as ships collide and break
Regardless of what rocks and waves might have to say
The land will carry on with mischief
Hard objects like rocks and hail don't move alone in storms
Even though they take their toll on men and what they own
Who tries to walk on water to understand the granite black?
At dusk the damage is irrevocable on the rocks
Vulnerabilities, agendas, exposed above the surface roll
Every ship will have to pay a price when seas arise
Silence will be floating among the splinters and debris at night
Pay for your sins in life to live
At checkout (death)
Remember to pay the full bill
You won't be admitted further until you do so
Don't you think?
So I believe...
Remember:
Everything must be paid for
Every ounce of life has to be answered for
Every gram of everything is counted
Every deed is listed
There is a price for everything
If you paid in life, Is it free in the hereafter?
There is a hierarchy
If you believe
Since you were born
Did you or did you not pay your mother
For carrying you? Caring for you
Did you lie, deceive or cheat anyone since birth
Did you sin,
If you believe in a higher power
Did your actions hurt anyone
Can you justify them
If you can't or they go against anyone
You will have to pay a price
Is there forgiveness?
Will there be forgiveness from them that you hurt
Then wont there be a price for their wounds
Can anyone afford to be so generous to forgive you
Generosity is a big move,
When everyone works out everything is counted
When they may need it themselves
Every penny is counted
If you can't pay
Nothing is free
Welcome to hell
Where you will be slave for everyone
Where you will abide
And wonder why?
Some consolation for the wounded
Derived from love and hate ,
From people who think their righteous in this world
Who condemn you in a flash of an eye
And there actions speak louder than words
So pay your debts before your end.
Don't leave them till the end.
Here's hoping you get yours as I'll get mine.
Say in the light you received 80 pennies to get through life
How where they spent?
In this game of life
Did you gain or did you lose them all
Are you in debt?
Guess where you are going
Most cherished answers
Love
Care
Generosity
Health
What is your bill total
And don't award yourself some more
I won't be back down
I won't be goaded into a fight
I know what I want
And I always get it
Just watch
It's always meaningful when you are a part of it
Life is boring without me
Meaning
What meaning?
It's only when you make of it
True religion
The one within you
Don't take you to a church
if you don't have it within
I don't have to explain it to you
There's only one I worry
It's the One I can't explain
It's the One I answer to
Don't infringe me
And I won't infringe you
Take me at face value
as I don't play around
Why does everything have to be so hard?
It is not
Take it from me
If it's too hard
it is not for you
Run...
What is freedom if you are not willing to pay a price?
Too much explaining can drive one banana
Don't start now
The one who thinks he can is actually can
Does it make sense?
Haha
Hope not
because that is when you get it
Lol
That will take some time
Just kidding
Want to pull your leg
It's actually long
Don't wanna
Haha
Get your message somewhere else
'cause this chic is going to bed
ashen is the color of your Holy face
bruised and bloody where the stripes left their trace
upon a back so strong and fair
leaving bloody scars from lashes so unfair
you were stripped of all Your dignity
for all of mankind's iniquities
to pay a price You did not owe
all because You love us so
then they thrust upon Your brow
a tightly woven thorny crown
as the blood ran down Your face
still You continued to give us grace
dragging Your cross through the rough streets
to hang with nails thru hands and feet
upon a hill called Golgotha for societies worst
in attempt to strip You of all Your worth
all through the strife and all of the pain
not one time did You complain
for a price that must be paid
all for our sins and wicked ways
so we may all be forgiven
and take our place up in Heaven
with the One who paid the ultimate price
to give to us eternal life
I have so little to give in return
except my life for what it is worth
certainly not the price You paid
hardly seems a fair trade
if You will exept my humble heart
I will certainly try to do my part
to make all those around me see
how awesome life with You can be
Thank You Lord for Your undying love
I walk through a lonely road,
With burdens and heavy loads;
I don’t know where it leads,
Not even certain how the signs would read.
Been trekking this harsh, gloomy nights
And only on wishes that I see the light;
In dreams, I pray that the sun will rise,
But I know I still have to pay a price.
At times, to hope I dwell,
And if it is real, I can’t even tell.
All I’m sure are fears and pain,
That mess up with my tears and the rain.
I’m sick, I’m tired, I want to rest.
Oh, how I wish the birds would share its nest.
And so I’ll stand and walk again;
This time, through happiness that I long to gain.
I should have tattoos
I should have a woman
instead I carry a purse full of empty.
Thats right-return me back to the womb
away from Bad tv
Bad people
cheap food
cheap women
cheap love
I should blame this on bad liquor
but I don't drink
I should blame this on drugs but
I don't take'm.
angels pay a price for there halo,
there peaceful garden.
maybe I'm better off pondering Picasso
or figuring out Beowulf instead of sucking
the blood off of my cracked lips.
Pay attention and listen to the words that i mention, no need for fishing for fiction
for my vision's on a mission. To keep my goals in sight without getting uptight, i'm a
man i take a stand for what i feel is right. I never hang with a crowd or try to get real
loud, or walk around with a frown with my head in a cloud. Although i do have
dreams i'm courageous and strong, i believe in myself as my life goes on. I can not
and will not ever decline, my bests foots forward and i'm going for mine. See my life is
like a highway i gotta keep straight, if i change my lane i might meet my fate. It's an
open road highway i'm in my lane, i'm too far gone with alot to gain. I'm gonna sing
a song and dance my whole life long, i'll pay a price in my life for everything i do
wrong. If i beat cheat steal kill or lie, i'll have noone else to blame except me myself and
i. When i look in the mirror my reflection i see, if i take the wrong path the wrong
direction i'll be. I wanna go through heaven's gate don't wanna be late, i'm gonna look for
satans hook i'm not gonna take the bait.
AUSTERITY ........................16.. 17/4/2012
Once glacial water clear and true, flowed beyond thoughts far and few.
Bores beneath the inner voices, deft of clue and honest choices.
Green, wild, harsh and rarely tame, nothing ever remains the same.
Constant change and constant station a birthright to a nation.
Careless whim and nonchalant disgrace looses people caring face.
Hardened brows and moral decline, frowns on tradition every time.
Yet life evolves to enhance its space and morals must redefine their place
To hold the line and experience truth, generations defined marked by youth.
Lost to war and elders follies, power lust dreams and selfish melancholies
Futures sold to financial kings, while poverty dances to their master strings.
Parasites suckle from families spread while parents hang their head in dread.
A country ravished torn and sold, yet those `involved decline to uphold,
Moral duties, a sense of truth, willingly sit and transport a countries youth
Tears and dread, pain and sorrow all the ingredients of a failed tomorrow.
Lost generations and fellows new, as countries profit from dreams askew.
Revolution hovers like carrion flight and hugs the day and lords the night.
Whispers rise from voices ignored then church and state become deplored.
Destroy a future to pay a price with consequences beyond a moral sacrifice
Resentment festers to pulse and flow through veins of time and finally show,
in lost traditions and values true. As families weep, dissolve and cry adieu.
