Best Swiftly Poems
Look into these eyes, these eyes show no mercy
Like flesh ripping off my skin, I scream
I shout the names of those I do not know
Like darkness I shall spread through your dreams
For they will become nightmares
Of which there is no return…
How you will cry, but no tears will fall
For you have sinned, and shall be burnt
Like a thousand suns you shall feel my wrath
Blood dripping from your eyes, ears and nose
The wall thickens with every breath you take
The truth I now expose
You have smiled at death… looked into its eyes
Seen the fury within the depths of his soul!
To bring you pain and much suffering
Is his aim, his only goal!
The fear from which he feeds
Is buried deep inside your mind
Laying dormant, hidden from plain sight
But eventually it will find you!
Haunt you, and bury you alive
Rip the jaws apart, gouge your eyes
Peel your skin off, until you’ve bled plenty
Only leading to your demise
For the pain doesn’t end there
It’s only about to start….
The executioner waits down below…
Ready to tear you apart
When you scream, the angels will but only laugh
For you did not listen well
You mocked them, ignored them
Now in hell’s kitchen you dwell
Into a pit of which there is no return
No escape only much suffering to come
This world varies in torture
Of which none can be ran from!
You will bleed endlessly…
Suffer like never before….
Praying to God to take you out
But he listens no more!
The path you chose has lead you to fall
And now your consequences you must face
Now endless misery and regret
For denying God’s wondrous Grace!!!

Worn out – with no more fight –
and Shredded on the sharp edges of the struggle
is my existence.
If I have one more chance to change
I would let that chance go by,
'cause this the day I chose to die.
Let me not feel this nothingness.
Feed me to the gulf of sweet eternal sleep;
expire me swiftly.
Take away this numbness,
let me go quietly
into the peace perfect peace.

This World.
So full of discord.
Come swiftly my Lord.
I Love your joy and your peace.
You offer such a sweet release,
as all the pain rolls down my cheeks.
You've caught them one,
you've caught them all.
Not one tear is left to fall.
Seek you know and you shall find,
His sheep he shall not leave behind.
Come swiftly my Lord,
and I shall run
on the streets of new Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:2 I saw the Holy city, the new Jerusalem
coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride beautifully dressed
for her husband.

Traveling along country roads for many miles. Early morn's sun blinding my eyes. Outside chill blocked by the internal warmth of the truck and swiftly the miles fly by my eyes.
azaleas in blossom
spring green leaves begin to show....
buzzards circle high
An occasional far spaced farm then homes become closer together indicating
a small rural town. The beauty of spring inspired by man surrounds each home.
Dogwoods in white and some pink adorn their yards. So much pride shown in the surroundings. Passing a country town church sign "Find Hope This Easter".
hope springs in spring
roadside wildflowers flourish....
farmers plant their crops
Grancy greybeard(fringetree) and snowball bush decorate some yards. Such
refreshing species to add interest to our drive. Then we came around our home and down to the creek. I was welcoming the swallows that flew around us as we drove through the grass stirring up bugs. So delighted that they are back. I love their aerial antics and they eat so many bugs. Such a nice ending to my day out.

The times that swiftly come unending seems
And gently stalks the prey with gradual pace
Which melts away with cold but fiery beams
That make fair game of men that fall from grace
The past replaced by trivial novelty
And present ways has seen its better days
The future worship its technology
Man’s ingenuity gets all the praise
We can’t confuse the right or wrong with just
The old or new for good does not grow old
Nor sin turn from the same deceitful lust
But truth the daring souls eternal hold
By every nerve and sinew strained resist
The timely error that pervert and twist

Into Darkness She Had So Sadly And Swiftly Fallen
( A Very Sad Tale With No Fairytale Ending )
There in the dark cold room, emptiness and sorrow
Hung like a noose awaiting its next dying soul
Like youth that dares not to wait for next tomorrow
Was that broken heart suffering its greatest toll.
An epic tragedy of Shakespearian might
A fallen angel, writhing in throes of despair
To be sure she was indeed a very poor sight
Clad in torn dress with her dirty dishwater hair!
In that sad place that time, doomed to meet her end
Amidst the hovel and willfully silent walls
Alone and starving, devoid of care and her friend
Into the chasm of agony fell her weak calls.
She that had once dazzling beauty and her great fame
Now a fallen angel, tormented by her sin
Without home or even a penny to her name
Begging death's dark-hand, anything to the hurt end!
As that midnight bell sounded with its sadden strokes
She turn to gaze at the full moon beaming so bright
Gone were the friends, the parties and the gayest jokes
There lay she in the mess of her pitiful sight.
No courageous white-knight came to her rescue
There in the corner stood that monster laughing loud
Of its evil-cast origins she had not a clue
Always above its ugly head hung a black cloud!
Time was fast ticking, she said her final sad words
She was there with her beloved snow-white horses
In the open plains riding with the racing herds
Towards the gold castle that held the sweetest voices.
Dawn rays found her frozen body, her eyes bound shut
The monster had flown her to its hideous lair
Its razor sharp claws had gifted the ending cut
She was at final rest no longer in its wicked snare!

Rhyme, Composed In Tribute to - R.S. Thomas…
( Doom Brought On By Drug Addiction- Death As Its Monster Feeds )
Note: The year was 1977, my friend was in mourning for his beautiful cousin.
She had ran away the year before with her drug crazed idiotic boyfriend.
A year later she was dead.. As he told it - she died for love-- first came the love for
the idiot boyfriend, the guy that got her hooked on drugs. Then he abandoned her
far away from home to die by herself in a cheap motel room. Life gives us
Choices-- some of them turn out to be deadly.

The years have swiftly passed,
Anniversaries and birthdays have come and gone,
But the days that linger the longest,
Are the days I spend missing you.
Lasting memories are preserved in my mind,
More picturesque than photos in time.
The voices I still hear are yours and mine,
Whispering we'll always love each other,
Till the end of time.
The Sundays spent just filling in crossword puzzles,
And recapturing those long walks on the beach.
Running off for a weekend getaway,
To just escape the daily hassles of life that way.
Sitting in the garden late at night,
Watching the fireflies glow so bright.
Gazing at the stars as they twinkled at night,
Igniting memories to last through our life.
These are the things I cherish the most,
Just remembering the days we shared.
Building memories to last forever,
To recall at any moment I need you near.

The last ten years swiftly flew by;
everyone seems so much older,
I barely recognize faces.
And over time, I've realized;
loyalties and friendships form
on a temporary basis.
Old age, indeed, levies a toll;
my health deteriorated,
and I sometimes feel all alone.
I have trouble falling asleep;
for my back is in constant pain,
and what's causing it is unknown.
I'm bald; there is no hair to comb,
and dentures have replaced my teeth;
my legs ache, and I use a cane.
I've found no upside to aging;
technology screws with my mind,
and it does no good to complain.

Verse
In one swift stay
A solid say
In one swift stride
A message rides
In one swift breeze
A better squeeze
In one swift turn
A hustle burns
In one swift touch
More speaks as such
In one swift show
The rancid flow
In one swift pace
The fall from grace

I slowly fell deeply into a sensual daze
After the hours I kept his intense gaze.
Hoping what we have is not a phase,
As for what I am feeling, there is no phrase.
I swiftly fell the moment we kissed on his bed,
After the hours he waited, while I was in his head.
Wishing for his love, without a feeling of dread.
Wish came true, now no longer wish I was dead.
I am slowly falling into this newfound love
After I realized maybe he too was sent from above.
Hoping we can go further without push and shove,
So I patiently wait for days in which we belove.
I am grateful to have found him,
After he made love to me on a whim.
Wishing we are fish in the ocean meant to swim
Together beneath all waves even when dim.

The seconds swiftly fly
Each filled with some new sound
A lowing of a calf's sigh
One bee buzzes nectar bound
Hummingbirds' wings whir
Crickets' chatter joins in
Roosters crow as they stir
Down in the foggy glen
A golden sun illuminates
The drenched scene after the storm
Rain and dew upon the grass
A new presence born_
There is a breeze from the north
Cool air surrounds my place
It calls me to come forth
This pleasant morning embrace
All of nature seems alive
The hummingbird feeds again
Mockingbirds fight contrived
One tried to steal other's den
A few minutes on the porch
To thank God for this day
His presence fills me with strength
Help me to not stray

Fifty years ago today, on this National Holiday,
I was busy laboring away..
At the tender age of twenty-two God blessed
me with a son, Matthew..
Heaven opened up above and brought a baby boy to love..
All mothers know that special bond, the first birth, that number one..
I watched him grow from boy to man and gradually released my hand..
The years have passed much too swiftly.
My boy to man is now age fifty!!
My only son, my greatest blessing. A mother's pride is worth professing..
