Best Substantial Poems


Substantial

I love that even
in the darkest night your hand
can always find mine.

Substantial

An indispensable moment, 
Draped in poise, 
Cradled me 
In its enormous influence, 
And waited to see 
If I would earn excellence. 

In the midnight twilight, 
Where fluidness meets 
The gravity of all we've known, 
I felt a conversion 
From sanctimony 
To humility. 

Perched high above 
Stinging words 
And glittering ego, 
Stood an unadorned reminder 
Of simple greatness 
As formed by the original architect. 

Oh, deliberate sphere, 
Help me to emerge 
From this wretched silhouette 
So I may become 
Something more 
Substantial.

Substantial Consequences

despair causes friction.  yes, hurt causes tension.  
these years got me feeling undriven.  make it past these years.  work hard.  
but they don't tell you about the required decisions.  i no longer feel able to.  
i envy what I shouldn't.  it's heavy.  i know i shouldn't.
no longer is it fear.  It's substantial consequences.  what happens now affects tomorrow.  Tomorrow’s facts are written.
it's strange i don't want no one around.  encouragement seems to destined discouragement.
it angers me to want so much.  how hard is it to be satisfied for now.
ungrateful.  disdain.
it's hard to rise when you know you're low.  It’s hard to breath when you know you’re lungs are closed.
So what now?
The one true king.  The ruler of all things.  When you’re heavy he’ll carry you.  He’ll dig you up when the devil tries to bury you.  What more could you ask for.  Victory is right at your door.  Open it up and get your heart fixed.  Because you’re the one he picked.  It’s easy to give up.  But it’s hard to try.  That’s the reason he died.  So he could help you through the try.
How do I begin?
Ask for his spirit to come in.  let go of all worry and strife.  He can heal the knife wounds in your back despite how it got there.  Accept his light.  His peace will make everything alright.  Substantial consequences are now rewritten as substantial blessings.  His will be done in my life no more second guessing.


Information Had Been Substantial

Information Had Been Substantial

All the information had been substantia,
But we heard was purely circumstantial;
Never fail;
Dollar trail;
Trump convicted on data that is financial.
