Best Piety Poems

Cliffs were sentinels reaching to the sky
Gulls chided my presence with loud decry
I scaled a hilltop to glimpse the sea
Piety washed in gentle waves over me
Never had I felt so humbled before,
watching fingers of foam fondle the shore

There was a preacher named Gunn
Who kept all the ladies on the run.
He caught quite a few

The pews were full of sons of Gunn....

Pious passion with pearl like luster
Panoply paint in deviant cluster
Projecting devout sacred morals
Wearing crowns of thorny laurels

Preaching forth with self righteous scorn
Scrawled on parchment fully worn
Those pagan heathens they perceive
Who don’t condone what they believe

Perplexed by such pathetic woes
Least the truth be so exposed
A patchwork...

Enterprising Henry IV declares suzerainty over state
Xenophobic princes seek the royal prerogative to abate
Cautious king uses diplomacy, threats his minions to subjugate
Old rivals in Saxony Henry's consolidation with tyranny equate
Morose princes in the hinterland seek to avoid a similar fate
Manic King Henry sends his forces...

You are a ray of light that caresses my soul…
You stir my might each day releasing things outdated…
You love me in a way that is right with purity…
You shall forever stay with me goddess of delight...

Conception of a bloodstained cross
Can be perceived a threshold loss,
As piteous as piety
When rage of age destroys its gloss
And ends a dismal dynasty....

When the face of satan flickers
Across your heart and soul
Bishops, priests and vicars
Will show their sacred role

Their aim to help society
By teaching wrong from right
This variety of piety
Will keep you in the light...

The Sea of blood
Glows pink when the sun hits.
Suns rise and more die,
The liquid of life is pungent.

Midday the Gods fall,
stars plunging.
Angels float, then drown,
white wings bleeding.

Dogmas submerge
as dusk hits.
High tide is lovely.
Devils emerge
wingless.
These sunsets are heavenly.
