Broken In Me Reigns

There is a place from deep within
where I hide my hearts pains.
A darkened room off by itself
where the broken in me reigns.

The hinges all rusted in place
where seldom is love spoken.
Still the hurts they come and go
the windows are all broken.

On rainy...

A Joint Poem by Brian Johnston and Abekah Emmanuel

She said: 
Did you really understand what I just said? 

He said: 
If I didn't understand my misunderstanding was so complete that I did not understand that I did not understand! 

She said: 
Amusingly amazing misunderstanding! 

He...

I searched for the answer 
to a question I dared to ask
wondering why people hide 
behind so many masks.
The query was this:  
"What's happened to integrity
when honesty is replaced 
with deceit and insincerity?"

I had several insightful answers 
but was left in grim despair
when i...

The day dawn breaks; the shadows are nowhere in sight.
The earth quakes; Angels came into sight.

Mary came to anoint her Lord.
Peter and John ran to the tomb in search of their Lord.

Know ye not that tomb is empty?
Behold, it is empty!

Why seek ye the living...

When Darkness Reigns, Depths Of Sorrow Increase

Lo, with sad heart I write, "This soul in tears
With burning pains spread throughout,
Too oft now sleeps with dreadful fears."
Tho' this mind seeks to find joy yet again
To quell dark storms all about,
Life and Fate shortens my remaining years.

Shall...

There’s a horse under
the Weeping Cherry. 

And the Sky is Crying
too. 

I’m sad that I’m happy today. 
The new greens are sprouting. 
It’s Spring. 
The upwelling tears are spouting. 
It’s Nothing. 

In the shade garden the hellebores -
each a dim-lit, dusty burgundy banker’s lamp -
refuse...

The skies fall with jewels
In gardens digging with tools
Blessed by the blossom...

It seems like I've been waiting for you for a lifetime,
I almost had given up all hope, I was well past my prime.

When you finally came you took me by total surpise,
I noticed you and what I saw was genuine, no disguise. 

I think of...

In That Magical Moment, Stars Align, Happiness Reigns

In that magical inner sanctum where heart truly sees
far more than the banks and eddies of the rivers we swim
there colors of Life in vibrant idiosyncrasies
far exceed and outshine saddest gasps of our fleshly whims.

In that magical realm,...

Let me inhale the perfume of your thoughts 

Unwinding the moment and releasing the pain 

Let my love fall on you, like gentle rain...

When gray waters of June moan…one last time
Near the dimming edge of our isle, offshore--
How  so many stars tremble quite sublime
For this clutch of demise gushes its pour.

Near the dimming edge of our isle, offshore
I summon the fighter in me… Wake   wake!
For...

Our God Reigns…

Our God reigns in the heaven’s above!
Behold the mighty works of his power and love!

Our God reigns in the mountains on high!
His power reaches down to the deserts so dry!

Our God reigns on his heavenly throne!
He wants to be the Lord of our...

There at the gateway
To Heaven or hell
They come 
When their living is done
To eternally sleep
Beneath the black clouds
That seep
Like ink
On a satin white sheet
Where the Raven stands
With a gun in her hand
Long tresses cascading in black
To touch  the back
Of that plume-like gown
Of tiered layers
That...

Calling out with his loud shrill cry
While winging through an azure sky,
Low clouds back light intrepid flight.
Strong talons grasp prey in sharp sight
As feathers float on current's wave,
I view a raptor bold and brave.
Majestic in his swooping quest
He soon returns to guard his nest.
Fledgling beaks...
