Broken In Me Reigns
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 days it seems set free
those memories all roam.
Then late at...

Confusion Reigns
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 said:
So you understand my confusion? I am so glad...

When Deception Reigns
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 realized that so few noticed,
or perhaps they just...

He Came - He Died - He Lives - He Reigns
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 among the dead?
He is not here; He is risen from...

Spring Reigns
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 to face the smalling Sun.
Twin Bleeding Hearts rise
in lone vigor,...

When Darkness Reigns, Depths of Sorrow Increase
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 I, of my father's flesh and bones,
Fall into cold gray...

Love Reigns
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 you often and you're the center of my dreams,
Loving you...

In That Magical Moment, Stars Align, Happiness Reigns
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, one's soul may meditate and grasp
wake new morn, to mortal...

Light Of God Reigns
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 this clutch of demise gushes its pour-
To ignite kiln of...

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 hearts and homes!
Our God reigns over the majestic seas!
His creation...

Where the Raven Reigns
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 fall to the ground
~~~~~
Of in the distance
There in the light
That...

Golden Eagle Reigns
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 open eagerly
Accepting gifts voraciously.
Tree top dwelling, their sacred home
Where King...
