Best Risen Poems
When you are struck to the ground by struggles bolt
When the pain of lies, betrayal, and secrets unfold
Gazing upon the cliff of life's mountain
Holding in the pain with all that your might can,
Hold out your hands and touch the sky
Watch as the clouds pass you by
Let the wind carry your pain away
Do not think of what stands in your way
Just close your eyes and forget the past
It’s just a moment that already last
Then think of the future and what it holds
Because it’s the only story that's never been told
Reach out for God and he will help you
For he has done for me the same way too
Then open your eyes and do not lose hope
For the prizes are given at the end of the rope

Concrete
Burning so bright
With new found life
Released from his ball and chain
Out of the dark
And into the light
Flying… on wings of freedom again.
As he writes his life
His soul ignites
In flames of wisdom and sight
Brilliantly claiming
His God given right
As his truth kills the evil ‘Black Knight’.

Prose Poetry
amid the bleats of lambs
and the moo of cows
in a far away manger
a baby, swaddled in rags was born
though despicable in some eyes,
He was the clone of Clones
the one, though Heaven sent,
was the humblest of the humble,
who halved history!
He walked the hills of Judea
with disciples many
healed the sick
met people
lived one among them
until three decades
and three years
the cloud laden sky
suddenly turned dark
the spirit of evil
invaded inside
and outside
premonitions
of portentous occurrence!!
at Gethsemane
the fatal rendezvous,
He sweated blood
as coins tinkled,
Judas through a kiss
betrayed his master
was sentenced
by the marshals of power
and was convicted
Pontius Pilate, washing hands,
absolved himself of his guilt
He tottered to Calvary,
lay on the cross, not by nails
but pinned by love
He poured down love
on those never deserved
to his love, there is no end...
among the hisses of revulsion
and the screams of a vengeful crowd
the tremulous cadence
of an agonized cry
“why hast Thou forsaken me?”
died down…..
did Golgotha’s cliffs echo that cry?
The Father kept ‘an aggressive silence’
The Sun (Son) set at noon
darkness shrouded the Earth
the curtain fell
but on the 3rd day
walked out of the grave
defeating Death and Sin!
Our Lord has Risen….!
to this day
the world
hails this victory!!

He has risen
I truly believe
To be with our father
He, soon, will leave
Born of a virgin
Love he did bring
Men came from afar
The angels did sing
Son of a carpenter
Things built with his hands
Preaching Faith and Love
Spreading Hope through the lands
A man on the cross
He died for our sins
Saved from ourselves
A new life begins
He has risen
I truly believe
To be with our father
He, soon, will leave

A conversation overheard between Shakespeare and his former muse.
"So many things hath turned to utter folly over the ages.
Hundreds of years since I've penned pages and pages.
What these ancient eyes of mine doth now conceive
plead, 'Return to thy grave, Bard, for here you'll grieve."
"In sooth, fair maiden muse, I know not why I am so sad.
Perchance to dream, is this a scheme or have I gone mad?
Enlighten me as to what's become of life as I once knew it.
Bitter dregs are coffee? Bring me tea or I shall lose my wit!"
"Fie to you and the darts of scornful glances from the eyes
of natives half-dressed. Is modesty held in compromise?"
It's accepted attire by everyone, nothing like in the past.
"I shall not rudely stare, but I find myself quite flabbergast.
What of the churl who spits venom into that man's face?
Doth women in this day act like shrews? What a disgrace!
Is not thy husband honored as both her lord and keeper?"
Women are equal. She looks at him like she's the grim reaper.
"The lady doth protest too much. That's what me thinks.
A goblet of ale tis what I need, and then forty winks.
That minstrel sings gibberish. Has he no pride in himself?"
He sings a Christmas song about an elf who sits upon a shelf.
"O, teach me how I should forget from whence I have come.
I do not belong here. I need a draft to sleep and benumb.
Romeo's poison was quick. Thus, with a tender kiss he died.
To chamber I betide to cleanse this stain I shall not abide.
Out! Out Damned spot! Thy splotch besmirches as if blood.
Begone fore I hear my heartbeats pounding with each thud.
On the banks of Stratford-On-Avon tis where I long to be,
rewriting Romeo and Juliet so in the future he will decree...
To Juliet when she says, Romeo. Romeo, wherefore art thou?
The lad shall reply, "What do you want from me, you cow?"
Dear Bard, you mustn't change a word of what's been written.
For centuries women have read your lines and were smitten.
"I shall nary breathe a word of this ill journey to the future.
Thine lips are sealed forever more without need of suture.
Back to the grave where I belong, most gladly shall I return.
In eternal sleep, ne'er to dream of such time I did spurn."

Wake Up People..
Can't You See...
What God has done
for You and Me
God came in the Flesh.. and Dwealt among Us...
God Sent His Only Begotten Son
On Earth, Mary gave Birth
He is the Perfect One, Our Father's Son
Jesus came not to condemn the world,
But to give Us Life
Then on Calvary, Jesus died on the Cross,
He gave His Life for You and Me
God Gave His Love! It was Poured out
Without doubt, He Raised Jesus from the dead
So we could Receive Forgiveness of our sins,
And Become Born-again!
For Whomsoever Believes in Jesus
Will Be Saved and Made Free
To be With Our Savior for Eternity
You can Only come to the Father
Is Through God's Son, Jesus Christ
Just Believe,Then ask Jesus in Your Heart
Receive Forgiveness of Your sins
Through Christ
Come to Jesus...

Easter is such a special time of year,
a time of much laughter and cheer.
Decorating easter baskets and such,
and the bunny is a celebrated clutch.
We prepare food and we celebrate,
eagerly waiting for our savory plate.
Easter means more, so much more,
he has risen, tore down death's door.
Christ is no longer in the sealed tomb,
open up your heart and make room.
Let him in and choose him this day
for he is the truth, life, and the way.
Hallelujah, he has risen, he has risen!
* Wishing everyone a happy Easter

He has Risen!
The Lord of Light, God’s Redeemer:
His Son, transforming man’s defeat
to summits of glory;
He has Risen! The Lord of Light,
Destiny’s Leader, Father and man’s
ever evolving Love Story--
And who in right faith
cannot feel His Glory?
And who in such light
will refuse such Love?
Death has no dominion
outside the grave.
And all who live twice,
renewed by first death,
never-again Dark’s slave.
He has Risen!
The Lord of Light, God’s Redeemer:
His Son, transforming man’s defeat
to summits of glory;
He has Risen! The Lord of Light,
Destiny’s Leader, Father and man’s
ever evolving Love Story--

The thoughts are risen:
But nobody to listen;
Having unclear vision:
With no proper decision;
Bound in corrupt tradition:
Sunk in unstable condition;
Seeing all the opposition..
am in a state of congestion
Not in a position..
to handle my confusion!!

He has risen
Happy Easter and Resurrection Sunday to thee.
A great man has risen from the dust and debris.
Excellence achieved and many souls now saved.
Your path for mankind has now been paved.
What a beautiful a sight it must have been.
Walking out of that tomb and going home to your kin.
So much suffering and life-saving blood you have shed.
Immeasurable love showed by you, and by example you have led.
Rejoice in this day, we are no longer blind.
The darkness is gone, only light we now find.
Jesus has died for all our many sins.
He has now ascended into heaven a new era begins.

Christ the Lord was crucified,
He was nailed to a rough hewn cross.
Ridiculed by those He came to save,
Innocent man paid the ultimate cost.
Shedding His blood to pay for our sin - He died.
Three days later He rose from the grave - Alive!
Inconceivable, indescribable, miraculous event.
Son of God, Savior, God's greatest gift!
Rejoice in the Lord! All praise to our King!
In pure adulation let Hallelujahs ring!
Shout to the Lord! He has conquered the grave!
Evermore He's alive - Believe and He'll save.
New life in Jesus is available today!.

There is no greater Love than His
There is no greater Name than His
There is no greater sacrifice than His
There is no greater devotion than His
Let it be known to Man
That the Holy Father had a plan
That He should send His only Son
For our life eternal and to be as one
They pronounced him King with a crown of thorns
As men watched with devilish horns
The Blessed Mother could not stand to bare
As they crucified her son with a heavenly stare
Oh Father forgive them
For they not know what they do
The Lamb is sacrificed
The Angels mourn as they fly through
The Risen Christ is now at His Throne
As we celebrate with great atone
He awaits His Bride in Heaven’s realm
As we praise his Name we overwhelm.
