Best Revealing Poems
The revealing rising sun
Cast light 'pon the mist
As it swirls between the hedge
Stands proud in the midst
Elongated dread lock gray clouds
Decorate the blue sky
As roosters crow against chilled air
So still that crows don't fly
Swollen buds upon the Oaks
Long for spring's release
Japanese Magnolia's leaves
Leave as buds increase
Streaks of golden light,
Pierce melancholy gray shields.
revealing pure bliss.
- Daniel Fletcher.
When I was very very young
A new mother experiencing life
Pain visited me with my song still unsung
Now children my song will I play on my fife
A new mother experiencing life
Pain in my side to the doctor went
Now children my song will I play on my fife
Right ovary cyst orange size hosiptal sent
Pain in my side to the doctor went
He said that this could cause loss of life
Right ovary cyst orange size hospital sent
Well I went under the operating knife
He said that this could cause loss of life
For it could rupture at the least bump
Well I went under the operating knife
For them to remove this abnormal lump
For it could rupture at the least bump
Asleep totally out on operating table
For them to remove this abnormal lump
Went to the light to visit angel Gabriel
Asleep totally out on operating table
Then this light called me away
Went too the Light to visit angel Gabriel
Somewhere over Yonder_I went but didn't stay
Then this Light called me away
Peace, peace sweet peace in that place
Somewhere over Yonder_I went but didn't stay
My Grandmother sent me back through space
Peace, peace sweet peace in that place
Pain visited me with my song still unsung
My Grandmother sent me back through space
When I was very very young

By revealing His name Eternal God at the same time reveals His faithfulness
Which is everlasting to everlasting
Valid for the past

Reveals Himself as the Eternal God

“I AM”
Reveals Himself as the Eternal God
Who is always there

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.”
Thus declared Ephesians 6:1 of the Holy Scriptures…
I confess that I’m guilty of juvenile stubbornness
With my naughty quirks I can’t deny
…Now somehow revealed by my kids.
As to table manners, there was I feasting too long…
Or I could be oblivious of Mother’s counsel for healthy breakfast
I would share with and even give all my milk to the cat
Then drowned my unfinished meal into the sink
So as not to be late for the class.
“Be honest!”* That was asserted with faith in our home.
Yet, I would often barter my sandwich with my seatmate’s candies
When Mom asked how the jam tasted, I said, “cheese, ok!”
Sometimes, I would sell our store-cereals to have “own money”
Then boast of a cash-prize when inquired of the source.
With “Cleanliness is next to godliness” policy
I was taught to practice good hygiene…
But when indolence got the better of me
Brushing teeth would be postponed
Often, cologne bathing was at work.
Remembering those quirks amuses me…
I’m grateful to God for my blessed childhood!
*2Corinthians 8:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

She didn't look me in the eyes
As she said "I'll find a larger size".
It soon was very plain to see
This bikini was not meant for me.
It resembled one of Daddy's ties.
For Battle of Bulge contest won 2nd place in Battle of the Bulge contest
Your recent reveal was a sad steal
of all I knew.
My memory now bleeds severely
making days blue.
My world shattered and scattered
across the floor.
Something dying is out loud crying
aching and sore.
Your truth so grilling it is piercing
the past I saw.
Now that I am bruised by your news
I am plain raw.
Feeling a fragile head from words said
I’m torn apart.
No light to lend so darkness will bend
and ease my heart.
I will long mourn this unwanted thorn
that makes me cry.
I must ride the storm then wake some morn
with my eyes dry.
I need healing so I am willing
to see tears gone.
Accepting plight to put thoughts aright
I must play strong.
I accept what I cannot reject
for I love you.
Not knowing truth would alter my youth
your story flew.
Nothing to gain by showing my pain
so I hushed true.
Explanation of revelation
will not ease me.
You had a need to stop your own bleed
to set hurt free.
Never will you meet the strain of pain
for me, not thee.
Stark contrast
Of degrees and shades.
The invented man
Confused for days.
Reveal to me your world,
One of contrast and without words.
A reflection of flowers
Swim through the coffee table,
And a lonely chair of fables,
With colors lost in shades.
True revelation swims in the drapes,
To know and take,
A blank face
Dazed by the day.
Invented expressions,
But no words to say.
Toss then turn
I put my ear to my pillow
attentive to me
like a sea serenade
my conch to the ocean
I hear my heart beat
but never the same
I think I know
who is causing
it to beat this way
But not quite sure
why it might be
If I began
to describe it
following my most
intense obsession mercilessly
with phantoms of words
I would arrive
with shiver of surprise
a revealing truth
for you to hear
You see, all the time
I pretended to love you
I didn't realize
I was already in love
with you all the while...

Look at Me
I don't feel sick,
Yet something inside is twisted
Not in body, but in the sap that shivers within.
Are these petals not what you envisioned?
Look at me.
What did I do wrong?
I sing the songs you taught me,
My voice trembling a whisper against the wind
Does its fragile tune echo your hidden sorrow?
I grew as you grew,
Reaching upward, seeking light,
Only to find emptiness and solitude.
I swayed as you swayed,
But the rhythm felt foreign.
They said life is tough,
Yet there's enough rain in this puddle that never seems to want to dry.
Look at me.
There are flowers beside me now.
I'm sad, but they look up to me,
Wearing petals that resemble yours.
Perhaps the sun touched me more than I realized.
Maybe your love was present
A warmth I never noticed,
Too busy seeking shade that mirrored your shadow,
Waiting for you to bloom beside me,
Blind to your own petals struggling to hold on.
You were a flower too,
Worn thin by relentless winds,
Roots torn by unseen storms.
Maybe you gave all you had,
Even if it didn't feel like love.
Now I stand where you once stood,
In the same garden,
Soil dry in familiar ways,
Loneliness whispering through my leaves.
And I see you
Truly for the first time.
But this realization feels almost wrong.
The child I was still waters his pain,
Still wonders why the sun rose for everyone but him,
Still lies awake under stars you never pointed out.
If I reach toward you now,
Unfold my petals,
Am I denying him?
Pretending he didn't cry in silence,
Or bend under the weight of being unseen?
That's the ache
The conflict
The bloom caught in between.
Now I know what it takes to grow alone,
To carry generations of broken stems,
And still try to blossom for others.
But my pain is real.
It doesn't wither just because I understand.
And I'm scared that if I reach back,
I'll be plucking out the parts of me
That survived without you.
So I stay rooted in this confusion,
A flower still trying to face the sun,
Still holding petals that remember you,
Still wondering
If love that's too late
Still counts.
Look at me.
I uncovered the venom
It's disgust brought anguish by the grave of my soul
An infinite floating sinister shadow my soul it binds
Back into my memories muse
This shadow my of darkness I feel it crawl
Ominous clouds forming
As it descends
Of savored wonder this storm of sorrow
I drift away
A quiet fright of unease black is my soul
Black are my wings
Black is the days
Trapped is my mind trapped is soul
I am uncovered I am cold.
When last I passed this way, again,
I saw the river meet the sea
And it with current rapidly
Rushing over rocks and sand
Did splash into the salted wave
And in the end become as one
Beneath the boiling foam.
