Best Self Seeking Poems


The Whispered Song
The warrior lays her weary head, 
With heavy heart she cannot bear, 
Burning tears stream down her face, 
As whispered memories touch the ear.

Her armour tarnished by remorse, 
Her battle-cry a wimpered row, 
Her wounds, of which bleed solitude, 
Will never know forgiveness now.

The song...

       Behind the Veil of Friendship

Your friend, walks very slowly behind you.
Seeing the harm coming your way. 
His sword out, he protects you back.
And you know nothing, you are not even 
aware of the coming whacks!

You have innocent dreams,...

Preciously Handcrafted
"We are moving fast towards an age where people will be lovers of self, lovers of 
money, self-seeking. Self-gratifying, laying aside morality, spirituality, family 
values, and God, for self-preservation, self-gratification, and a cheap thrill.
2 Timothy 3:1-5


Beautiful, Black, Precious, and Complicated
Nothing else like it has ever...

Premium Member Humility and Pride
Signs of humility is so very hard to find
so many pump up self think they're swell
but they forget God who constantly looks
for humble hearts, of themselves won't tell

Everywhere there are people caught in pride
Focusing on their own self-seeking desires
Never thinking of the ways to give...

Premium Member Faith, Hope, and Charity
 
"And now abideth faith, hope and charity,
these three; but the greatest of these is charity."

The Bible, 1 Corinthians 13.13

Charity is called agape which means love,
with this in our soul we will live a good life;
our true essence 'till we dwell with God.

Without faith we...

My Plea

This my plea O world
That drags the dream of peace
Through the mud of wickedness

Rise
From the egotistic slime to wash away
Self-centered muck

Loosen 
Your profane feet of clay
From self-absorbed quick sand

Break through
The entitled self-interest of the arrhythmic heart
To the steady beat of the heart of all...

Premium Member At the crossroads of years, where stones whisper for centuries
At the crossroads of years, where stones whisper for centuries,
Inside unfolds the mystical drama of the self seeking light,
Through mazes of thoughts like leaves rolling towards truth.
Thirsty souls gaze towards the sky, begging for drops of eternity,
On the edges of doubts, gardens grow - guardians...

There's A knock on my door,

How will I know which one of
you is to cross my threshold,
Let us all...

Premium Member Love Froze the Flame
So long, so very long, since the coal has burst to flame;
I have trained with restraint the green eyed monster cursed to flame.

For love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy ...
I would not have my love for you eternally accursed to flame....

Sunlight beams on streets so mean..' As Love reaches out.'

A lonely widow toils unending, till day it fades then shares a morsel with her pet..'

Love aspires... a lust rages, and goals are pursued.' As Love reaches out.'

A man beats his family unmercifully..' A sweet rain...

Green Fingers
Green fingers

Morning light crept it's long laughing fingers
Around the edge of heavy dark curtains,
And cocooned, my chakra of pain lingers,
Not willing to welcome more of her sermons.

Pain, violently sweeps my darkened room,
Fingers scratching shards of glass, laughing,
And cocooned, my eyes tightly shut, I moan.
In this...

Manipulator
This whimsical notion he's not in the wrong,
He uses pity to manipulate and control all along,
Once he plays on your heart strings, he draws you in,
And if things don't go his way your at fault for his sins,
Apologetic, yet right after, he must throw back...

Premium Member Because Love Is Kind
True fervor is persistent in its daily care
Breeding seeds of joy from evening to dawn;
That when trials rage, life finds grace
Embracing ebon nights... all else is forgiven.
For love is Aurora bright, eternal in its gleaming
Never weary, always unconditional, 
And to see God’s face in a...

Silent Majority
Secrets are anxiously being kept with a behavioral struggle, as one of the special few enters the room; obviously preoccupied with his thoughts. Bottom teeth are nipping his upper lip tucked tight, rope acting as added mastic reinforcement, for his otherwise bitten tongue. Ordered by...
