Best Schrank Poems

“Act of God”

 Past all understanding somewhere deep within,
 A desperate need to realize something must begin,

Can't touch it with your finger, you must sense it with your heart
 Life’s lessons take a lifetime few chosen vessels start.

To comprehend forgiveness, to feel mercy fall like...

“The Empath”

Fighting the darkness such a futile desire
It was I that once asked that my heart might inspire
Wanting destiny altered..refusing to see
Deluding oneself leads to vast misery
I asked understanding the deep mysteries of time
I have touched divine purpose and all things sublime
So why still do...

“Fond Regrets”

When I think of all I had and lost I wonder how it’s true
Did I have a thankful heart back then grateful for what I knew?
I was loved so deeply then, I could not ask for more
She loved me like I did for her...

Farewell my Angel

 
She fell so far then out of sight, she lost all hope embraced her night, 
she could have been all that I saw, held firm her faith and gained it all.
My hopeful heart was shattered then, alas but this the sin of...

I’ve journeyed to the highest peaks to glimpse beauty vast below
To gaze upon the Arch of earth, still higher one must go
I looked suspended from this world, the vistas I could see,
Behind me were the sun and stars, below humanity
So far away, I clearly saw,...

“The fool”


I am the fool, who holds so fast, to dream a love forever lasts
And if a fool then I just need just one my soul mate seeking me. 
She’s too a fool to think I’m here, to seek despite the odds, her fear, that...

“Looking for her”

Wearied by this journey long, so many times so hopeful wrong
When will I find that soul so pure, she’ll become for me a wanderers cure

I feel you out there seeking me; do not loose hope I’m here you’ll see
Hold fast my love despite...

Where is my Beloved?

 

Fighting dark specters and deep resignation

Only hope in your love is my soul’s preservation.

Just one thing I desire and she’s calling me still,

With her heart full of dreams, all I long to fulfill.

How can I be certain, know your more than...

“Un conditional”  


To know this love of ages sung I make my true admission 
To seek and find such beauty rare a love without condition.
 
Born within the souls of men a longing to acquire
A love so pure and selfless deep fulfilled beyond desire...

To wonder, to wander, to embrace all ones fears
Tho I stumble and stagger still i stand all these years
Tho i'm tempted by safety I know it's a lie
I'll find strength from just somewhere till the day that I die
To seek ones true purpose, to be...

May I ask...


Give me shadows rather than blindness
Let me know and trust my heart when truth eludes my mind
Cause me to rest in this contradiction called life
Let me love, falling without fear into your soul....

Take my heart
 
 
Friends tell me I should guard my heart
Lest once again it's torn apart
But if I hide my heart from thee
When you look whom will you see? 
If you look into those eyes I'm lost
Free from all pain but at what cost
Life's...

Beyond Unspoken

Beyond all fears this day must come, she dies my end as well. 
Was it just a glimpse in time; a dream a magic spell
Arrested by your vision pure from lost begins, awoken.
You were the one my heart longed for, a dream beyond unspoken
I’d...

"The seeker"

Born into mystery, fears turning to sin
I searched east and west then for answers within
for the place of true knowing was never in sight
So I starred at the darkness knowing not who to fight
Can the truth lead to freedom, are there answers at last
redemption...

"thoughts of you"


I loose myself within your eyes; the nights wear on no place to hide.
I want to rest but cannot sleep, my love for you so painful deep.
I want you back but this can't be, only solitude lays her hands on me.
I gave my...
