Best Resurrection Poems

I rise from deep within the earth
out of pressured lavas

I rise above the level into
breathable realms

I rise following the risen
He who set my path and
monitors my lift lovingly
tenderly, yet such pinions
given of steeliness unpluckable

I rise for the grace of the Father,
for the loving sacrifice of...

Spring's resurrection revives
Surprise lovebirds awaken
One springtime our love did blaze
Snow 'pon mountain forsaken

(Chorus)
You think you've got swagger but really you hobble,
you've got the jet lagger and you're drunk so you wobble,
don't start on me mate 'cus I will bring trouble,
to put it into slang words I'm Barney Rubble.

(Verse)
I will ruffle trouble 
'cus I'm on another level
that bombs...

The dead still walk
within our memories,
and breathe 
and smile 
and talk
inside that strange preserve we keep,
a room still redolent with life
above the boxes where they sleep.

What irony prevails, that we
may call them forth upon a whim
as frozen servants microwaved,
enjoyed, and then returned at will
to their...

Do you ever wish upon a star
That he will find out where you are
Come and find your hiding place
Make your cold heart start to race
Kiss your cold lips, turn them red
Bring your soul back from the dead...

in hyacinth and heather my true love dwells
and in lush lavender her bones rest in peace
no mere human can project nor can foretell
when in this life one's vitality may cease
yet this I know and of this I can be sure
that her soul was white as...

When Again We Meet

Softly he says, "Should I die do not wait for me." She smiles,
"Just as the moon exhales no light without first a breath from the sun,
without you I'd be in darkness; what is paradise without light?"

Walking toward His grave, the cool air nipping at my nape on this chilly Nisan morning, feeling disconsolate. The sun has just risen over the Mount of Olives, while the magnificent temple basks in radiant light just beyond. I used to view the holy place...

Genesis: God’s plan unfolding
Father, with the Word, creates;
Spirit on the water hovers
God, how great and wise you are!

          Caterpillar - slow, unwieldy
          Daily tied to earthen bonds

A promise from God, his sign in the sky,
Never again will all unjust men die.
A rainbow appears as His sign to man,
Water will not cover all of the earth’s land.

He’ll not with water, wash all life from earth,
Because of our sins or our lack of...

Our Jesus is condemned to die
        Oh, Savior, now from Earth- you part.
You do not sigh, nor do you weep,
        Though our sins have pierced your heart.

Dear Jesus bears the Holy...

Lord of the Morning 

See the white bird rising.
See the sun shine on his wing.
To the Lord he’s rising.
Greeting the Lord of the Morning
Greeting the Lord of the dawn.

See the white bird soaring.
Gliding on the morning breeze.
Sailing on wings of dawning
Praise to the Lord of...

If I were a poet
I would pour pieces
Of my heart on pages
Paint in crystalline clarity
The anguish of my ancestors
My poems would be embroidery
Tailoring the strives
of this generation
I would write aspiration
on the mountains of mama Liberia
That her children - yet unseen
Can see and maintain our dreams...

It is Good Friday
Remember, remember
When, for Jesus, everything was nasty and sour
When things were very bad for Jesus
Yet, we don’t say: bad Friday
Afterwards, so everything could be good for us
Jesus was slapped
Jesus was kidnapped
Jesus was humiliated
Jesus was insulted
Jesus was beaten, kicked and hit
From head to...

I, Lazarus*, have seen the brickwork sky,
Its throne is made of night!
Its salt and lime are drying to the eye,
My wandering… 
a sound! a rumble, and a flash of light!

HHHHHHH! How sweet first breath!
That tasting life had tasted only death!

And what is THIS, that thuds...
