Best Sovereign Poems
Awaiting Summer's rule to end
Fall sleeps in dream of colored shades.
As sun unwinds its solstice bend,
The hope of autumn soon pervades
While emerald kingdom slowly fades.
When Autumn wakes from her repose,
The cooling wind calls out to trees,
"Come trade your basic olive clothes
For colored raiments as you please
And walk with me upon the breeze."
The kindest queen of all the four,
How graciously does Autumn start.
For all her subjects do adore
Her renaissance of forest art
And come to soothe heat-blistered heart.

Though she isn’t just a butterfly
She’s been a monarch of the sky
Wings, so gentle, often impress
Like love from above, she does bless
Like the ruler she’s always stood
Lovely and kind, reigning with good
She knows affection won’t repress
Like love from above, she does bless
Matriarch of hope, joy and peace
Just like the queen of scenic Greece
Her duties, much, I must confess
Like love from above, she does bless
Sovereign and sure, she is a light
Shining like the sun, kind and bright
Friendship is found in her caress
Like love from above, she does bless
Empress of her time, filled with grace
Sincere, her promise an embrace
She is known for her faithfulness
Like love from above, she does bless
To me sovereign means being boss,
Taking charge of every gain or loss,
Being responsible to do the right things
To help your subjects try their wings.
Sovereign to me means being queen or king or Czar
Sovereign to me means being revered like a shining star.
If I woke up tomorrow, and could rule a country, I would not.
However, if I was given the planet, I would dive in, all hot.
I would make rules that would benefit the most, not the few.
Hire scientists and environmentalists to clean our world up too.
I would encourage spiritualists to thrive, and spread joy.
Not limit any one religion to your girl or your boy.
I would encourage your children to take the lead and invent
Things that would abolish our current government.
I would encourage them to love, and laugh, and enjoy.
I would give respect and freedom to each girl and boy.
To me sovereign means being the boss.
I would do what I could, no matter what cost.
I would show my subjects the joy in giving,
in loving, and learning, and making a living.
the spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me I know and believe it is true
the spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me its plain to see in everything thing I have been through
his spirit is with me in my heart I feel that warm glow
his spirit is with me every where that I go
he is closer than a sister or brother
there can never be another
the Lord will work through me as I come and go
for his Glory and for more people with him will come to know
he will shine his light in every smile
in every kind word
stories of his love will be heard
the spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me
but its only by faith that I am free Amen
Isiah 61 v1
the spirit of the sovereign Lord is on me
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor
he has sent me to bind up the broken hearted to proclaim freedom for captives and release from darkness to prisoners.
She launched into sea in 1852,
And was build by Donald McKay.
She sailed from Honolulu, Hawaii
To New York in a whopping 82 days.
She set the fastest speed ever recorded,
On her second leg voyage for a sailing ship.
She logged in at 22 knots/25 mph,
Over a 24 hour, 400 mile trip.
She loved to sail the open ocean,
Sailing away with the breeze.
She was a Bostonian Clipper Ship,
Named the Sovereign of the seas.
God is the sovereign God
who is equally sovereign and merciful
He's decided according to His wise decree
those that will bow before His rule
It's not dependent on human will
nor any of your own exertion
but wholly of God's loving mercy
such is His unfailing compassion
Scripture declares God told Pharaoh
I raised you up by my almighty power
to show it in my sovereign purpose
for My name be proclaimed like a divine shower
The mercy of God falls on His choice
those chosen by His irresistible grace
for God has mercy on who He will
this is God author of Redemption's case
The potter has authority over the clay
making one for His honourable use
the other fitted for dishonourable
but only God's sovereignty can choose
Let's give thanks to this God
for mercy unearned and undeserved
to us who deserve His wrath
receive salvation freely preserved
AUTHOR NOTES: Romans 9:15-21(KJV) For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
I shall cry out for you
I shall look out onto the ever descending blue
you're chains are broken
Your life is set, once again you're to be free
But i know
No matter how long the time
You'll forever be standing and walking right beside of me
The sun will guide your way
Forever shines the month of may
As it did in my aching heart today
The gift of god, the centerpiece
My voice will reach yours
The starting point for now is east
Divine is thy message
And i must act and call beyond
What I've known, your voice i must speak
As well as to make it shown
The sun shall rise
To save us all
The presence of dandelion
With help give the call
A spark in the night, made of flames, the stars and light
At the sea i stand
Guided by your hand
I'm beaming from and with your might
I shall say goodbye
With my mourning blessed with delight
Because i know
In the deep
And roads divided and with hills bending steep
Your the soul i was born for with the will to fight to keep
Your soul and my heart will forever grow
Love will inspire and the flames
Will grow with every ounce of your desire
Descending ever higher
Immanuel i bid you fair well
Yahweh in breath and in scripture
And in tincture i will tell
In my heart and life i am glad you fell
Now soar
Above the lands and dwell.
Soaring sovereign, white-crowned bird,
Shanghaied silently without a word.
Strong feathers molted one-by-one.
Pinfeather plumed on bare skin.
Wet market ready.

The Almighty Creator has me in His wondrous plan
even before the foundation of the world
one among His blessed masterpieces
to bear His divine craftsmanship.
The Perfect Painter presents me to surpass human nature’s premier coup
in His mind’s canvas, quickened for worship with body, soul, and spirit
since I have tripartite being according to His image and likeness
reflecting the LORD as Trinity: Father, Son, Holy Ghost.
The Supreme Designer keeps on fashioning me in love’s workmanship*
by His kindness-modelling---concrete, showing no abstraction
as pattern of good works along stewardship’s color wheel
midst Christ’s grace-palette and strength-easel.
The Beauty-Master enhances my glow through pleasant reality-blendings
midst gesturalism and silhouette engagements of reaching-out collage
around my life-building pursuits of mixed media granulations
producing tenebrism that exalts the Saviour.
The Sovereign Artist transforms me to become a precious portrait-legacy
for worthy exhibit of faith champions in various servanthood genre
along polishing, brushing, etching, pressing, scraping encounters
showcasing the magnificence of God’s mercy and miracles.
*Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

God in his sovereignty
The armor of God is left to avenge
My helmet gets clogged in such a venge;
We till the soil yet wait for the water to boil
God in his sovereignty & joy
We draw lines in the sand to understand
Yet for the sake of God we will stand
Inside we fall short of all known reasoning
Many don't know or care where they are headed
Some are embarassed in part
~
Gone are the days we used to frolic in our haze;
Today we are being stuck in a maze,
God in his sovereignty others are amazed,
With each new step they take a number will fade....
A choice by which to bare its frame,
While the intire world today is totally insane !
Within a whirlwind of change
The mouth of modernity passes
And we casually cast images
Of past protruding post-hate
We find ourselves fiddling
With harpoons to harken our
Wayward wise dominion of doubt
And plush positivity ponders
Upon the usual ubiquitous volumes
Of man towards twinkling power
Positioned round the bend believing
Boasting of boring casualties causing
Catastrophic reams of reality
Revealing the end of times within
Our open hearts, removing the hatred
That harvests there at times titillated
Where wisdom comes lost
And heartache can hone in
We actually activate astounding
Painful pastimes that masturbates
The mind into dynamic dimples of
Doom, postulating the position
Of one’s own imagining, boasting
Of belief within the timelessness
Brought on by harvesting honor
Oh the horror, we feast upon fowl
And never do we accomplish the
Activities needed to sway a sovereign
Toast towards twin minds left to
Meander within most grave moments
But left to leave us blind and longing

Lissome, silhouette shadow
Gliding the long winding stairs
Iridescent gown changing glows
Flowing, silky bright black hair
Breezy, damp cold but warms
Fresh, sweet fragrant perfumes
Lingering aura full of charms
Scent of a flower in bloom
Head with jeweled, ornate crown
Standing firmly in a dreary hall
Failures stubbornly shut down
No one heard her pleading call
Endless, lonely morning walks
With a love that struck her blind
Inane, unromantic shallow talks
A hollow life, a fixed knot that binds
Eyes closed on conscious mind
Beating heart bleeding copiously
Options she chose to leave behind
A love slave enchained by destiny
In truth, a tiara pricked with thorns
Messy hair, rent from too many pulls
Black and blue, her dress is torn
Every night she’s beaten by the bull
She’s like a wind that circles a room
Doubting an escape from a little hole
She chooses to stay despite the doom
Ignore the abuse, her clan must be whole!
