Best Shaken Poems
Her sad eyes and tear stained face evoked such ambivalent feelings;
I could barely stand to look upon the half-naked child in front of me.
She turned her face toward me with a pained look begging for help.
Maternal feelings welled up within for this pitiful tangled haired waif.
Gaping in abject horror, I observed the orphan's frail arms wrapped
tenaciously around a dead rat and held close to her dirt smeared body.
I sensed this sewer 'pet rat' had been her only source of comfort in life.
The one thing she turned to, when sad or hungry, would never again be.
While resisting the urge to gather her up in my arms and dry her tears,
still I desired to sympathize... whispering, "Don't cry honey, it'll be OK".
I lied, knowing it wouldn't. Besides what could I do with so little to give.
I turned and walked away not wanting to face my growing sense of lack.
I awoke with a start, shuddering, deeply disturbed and troubled to tears.
Sometimes the vivid images, like a horror movie returning to haunt me,
make me question, "Who is that wretched child so forlorn and dejected?
The memories shake my very soul, the hidden message still eluding me.
FROM THE MOMENT THAT SHE MET HIM
SHE WAS AWESTRUCK!!!
HE HAD THE WORDS, HE HAD THE CLOTHES, HE HAD THE LOOK
HE HAD THIS SMOOTH, UNCANNY WAY
THAT EASED HIM RIGHT THROUGH HER DEFENSES
THAT LEFT HER DANGLING, HELPLESS...FROM HIS HOOK
SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN WOMAN, AND
SHE MINISTERED IN CHURCH
HAD NEVER KNOWN A MAN LIKE THIS BEFORE
A MAN WHO KNEW THE BIBLE
EVERY CHAPTER...EVERY VERSE
A CHARISMA, SHE FOUND TOO HARD TO IGNORE
HE DATED HER THE CHRISTIAN WAY
SHE MET HIS FAMILY
THIS HUMAN BROOM, WHO SWEPT HER OFF HER FEET
RESISTING EVERY SEXUAL URGE
UNTIL THEIR WEDDING NIGHT
BUT ON THAT NIGHT, HE TOOK HER, HOT, AND SWEET
HER SPIRIT KNEW, BEFORE HER "MIND" CAUGHT ON
SOMETHING HAD CHANGED
A HORROR UNEXPLAINED HAD GRIPPED HER SOUL
THIS CHRISTIAN MAN SHE MARRIED
HAD TURNED OUT TO BE A DEMON
AND HER COMPLETE DESTRUCTION, WAS HIS GOAL
WITH COLD METHODIC PURPOSE
HE HAD PLANNED HIS WIFE'S DEMISE
HE GAVE HER AIDS, AND THOUGHT HER FATE WAS SEALED
SHE WAS SHAKEN, BUT NOT BROKEN
AND WITH STEADFAST FAITH, SHE SHOUTED...
"THANK YOU JESUS! BY HIS STRIPES, I'M HEALED!!!
HE HAD COME TO CHURCH TO FIND A SAINT
WHOSE LIFE HE COULD DESTROY
THE DEVIL WRAPPED, IN CHRISTIAN MALE ATTIRE
HE GOT IN THROUGH HER EGO
AND DESIRE TO BE LOVED
BUT OH PRAISE GOD, THE DEVIL IS A LIAR
THE LESSON HERE, THE DEVIL
GOES TO CHURCH AS MUCH AS YOU DO
DELIGHTING IN DESTRUCTION OF THE FLOCK
AND SHOULD YOU FIND YOURSELF A TARGET
OF HIS DEADLY PURPOSE
REMEMBER, ALWAYS...JESUS, IS YOUR ROCK!
AMEN!
shaking desires
hot peppered emotions
burning passion
tasting delicious
delightfully spicy
warming the insides
inhaling sweet fragrance
blossoming in
the soul
floating this heart
one budding
red rose
with a feathered touch
silken soft petals
falling deeply
with you love
on a bed
nestled inside
within dreams
upon a petaled blanket
sweetly scented
with heavenly you
my beautiful angel
Oh the sham and serious shake,
Earthen crust erases land.
Upset moon mourns its men.
Uplift of craven shore and ben.
O the Winter its downer tanned.
Of creature great and downy lost,
The surgeon’s fissure quite abrupt.
The baby’s tears from the bright sun -
Befallen stars say it is done.
The crude ovalis corrupt.

A warning here is given to all
don't refuse the one that speaks
for those on earth did so at their peril
from heaven now warns you He seeks
But God comes with a promise
for in the past, the earth was shook
now He says shaken will be heaven too
all of this comes from God's holy book
What's been said so far indicates
things will be shaken yet once more
that what's been made will be removed
so the rest will stand secure for evermore
Be filled with gratefulness to the Lord
for giving you His kingdom that stands still
unmovable, unshakeable, irresistible
this is our God, lethal sharp-edged sword
Come with reverence and awe
to truly worship this consuming fire
this is God who is eternally divine
from His power, we can always draw
("See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.")
Hebrews 12: 25-29 (ESV)
======================
If I have just one more drink
(slightly stirred but never shaken),
I can drown them. They will sink,
if I have just one more drink.
This time they'll stay down, I think
and for once, I will awaken
(if I have just one more drink),
slightly stirred, but never shaken.

"Truth be Told," James Bond opined
Over a pint of Guinness
"Love is just a consequence
of bouncing balls in tennis!"
My demons: are awakened;
They're lurking around inside my mind
I've become so bitter, shaken
These demons somehow keep me blind.
These demons are trying to get at me;
Throwing obstacles in my way
My writing these words, be mistaken
But it's just my demons wanting to play.
I find myself in grips by my demons;
As if they had chains on me
Thunderous yelling at myself
In the mirror that sat on the shelf.
Gaps in time unaccounted for;
Missing what had just taken place
I know I have some memory problems, face it
But, this is more like it's Alzheimer's disease.
There are these days I forget my name;
And there isn't anything to blame
Sometimes forgetting where I am
Or are these my demons trying to shame me again.
Writing of this makes me uneasy;
I keep telling myself or is this reasons
I ought to choke you to make them stop;
Sometimes, I think my head is going to pop.
i Was never looking for love
i Was never a big fan of it really?
cause i see a lot of lucky people has it
but they don’t treat it fairly
Some use love as a weapon
to cheat and bring a lot of grieve
And the more love they receive
their appreciation for it decrease
I meet a girl and fall in love
But she just didn't concurred
So now although my heart broken
I’m just shaken not stirred
Every one I know, says to me
You are really a very nice guy
But to love I’m just the one
who Can’t find it no matter how I try?
Life has so many roads to travel
and not every one will reach the end
we go on with our life's not knowing
what awaits us around the bend
So right now I can’t see the future
My visions are still very blurred
But I will never give up on love
Because I’m just shaken not stirred
There’s some one for every one
That’s what’s I keep on believing
And if you to closes your heart
Love would not be able to walk in
i try to tell her that i love her
but my words become slurred
and i watch my hope of love
flying away like a bird
So I will always love this girl
with the sweetest voice I've ever heard
And No one will know I’m hurting
Because I’m just shaken not stirred
I always been a fan of James bond
Think he’s a very smooth character
With his cool charming domineer
So it’s him I try to model my self after
So while many are losing patience
Some will even use a bad word
Me I will be cool as James bond
with a martini shaken not stirred
Soup Creek Toasts
Marmite cocktails are delicious I've heard
They are the hippest cocktails being served
So to raise a toast
Tell Jenna the host
Mayor Tom's sure to be shaken and stirred.

Wings of silent pristine perception
Glide through and over
Infinite fields and states of vibration
Noumenal and phenomenal
Shaken is the ground of being
Volatile conceives
Unity diversified
Nothing is what seems
What is a word what do you re call
When reading or writing it
Does it mean any thing at all
One definition of justice is fairness
Many say no such thing exists
Or maybe you didn’t shine
You didn’t top the lists
At that all important interview
Where you didn’t show your best
Whichever way you read it
You didn’t pass the test
Is justice ever dealt with satisfactory
Conveying innocence as their plea.
Felons would wholeheartedly disagree.,

I've been used and abused, mistreated and mislead,
so many times before, it's wonder I'm not dead.
Been thrown downstairs, pushed through the door
knocked out a window, flattened on the floor.
Been raped and defiled, bled from wounds made,
the cuts that bled soundlessly, those scars did fade.
Life hasn't been great, but I've never bailed...
I've fought to the end, and my life has prevailed.
I am a survivor, and I always land on my feet.
I don't put up with ******** found on the street.
I'll never give in, never give up, never stay down;
I'll keep doing what it takes, to make my life sound.
You think you can beat me, you better watch out!
I'll fight to the finish, I'll beat you no doubt,
cause I am still alive and I got what it takes
to make sure I survive without any mistakes.
Wistful wisps of wan whispers wound her,
She looks withdrawn, weary and wrung out,
Staring blankly, not a word to stir
this uncanny silence spread about,
Grim as if a stone had crushed her heart,
Unaware of others' tears and cries,
It was as though her mind did depart
to another world behind her eyes,
Melancholy like a shroud cloaked her,
Suspended shock at Fate's cruel game,
Life passed her by in a blinding blur,
Shaken, her world would ne'er be the same,
Something darker than depression crawled,
Gloomy, clueless about her future,
Her husband's death had left her appalled,
Feelings that couldn't be healed by suture.
your heart is shaken
it's perspective now jaded
no strength to move on
