Best Troubled Poems

If my memory serves me well
you were once a friend of mine
need I remind you, pray do tell
a friend who overstepped the line
friend became lover became husband so fine
 
I'm longing now to feel your arms
Sailing amid memories divine
Right when I thought, I was over...

When I’ve had dark times in my life,
and need uplifting at times of strife
I listen to the words of this lovely song
and get comfort and aim to be strong

The path of life is winding not straight
Many troubles can be put down to fate
We need friends...

Light dances with the idea of love 
the sharks circle at mere plight 
of weakness but you cant kick out
a ballerina tiptoeing across rivers
red flowing with contemplation
and the final twin feather bed calling

Tomorrow's successes seduce
the captain's chair  empty
he's gone out for air
backed up pickup...

Cumbered with a load of care,
     Not knowing with whom to share,
     Struggling to cover my fears,
     While my guilt and shame draw my demise near,
     Abandoned by everyone...

Heal me, O Lord
  And I shall be healed

Save me, O Lord
  And I shall be saved

My heart is wicked
  Who would know it

You, O Lord, would know
  You, who search men's hearts

And find Righteousness or
  Iniquity therein

You are my...

In the twilight of troubled silence, where words melt into shadows,
I delve into the labyrinth of thoughts, writing the soul's silence in notes,
Each letter born from the pulse of my hands, keeping the secret enclosed in blood.
I let the words flow from my fingers, so...

If finding yourself means going it alone,
You shouldn’t—a fact that is painfully plain.
Need is a naturally human bemoan,
A collaboration helps you remain, a
Friend to those who also have needs to atone.

I'm clearing a path, a push straight ahead,
Sailing stress free in my life stem to...

Please Lord ease my troubled mind
Let my thoughts be peaceful and kind
Take my worries, cast them out
Keep me free from fear and doubt
Protect me Lord from evil and sin
Renew my patience when it wears thin
Give me the strength to forgive my foes
May you bring an...

I hear praiseful onlookers say
		how pretty YOU are every day,
		but that’s not my story.
		I don’t share your glory
		in this much-viewed Christmas display.

		I’m called by a name
		that brings me to shame,
		a moniker meant to confound!

		My...

As the Soldiers marched past proudly
       Beneath the clear blue sky
       Arms locked out, Thumbs pressed down
       Arms swinging shoulder high

A child grows, but not the way you hoped
both strong willed and wayward thinking
troubled teens and young manhood
lead to a troubled life
drugs and a jail cell
anger and doubt
never heard
that screams
pain


For the contest "A Nonet"...

You took the time it took to notice Me
You said your troubled soul was plain to see
You held my hand and led me home at a time when I was lost
You laid yourself on water ...and I crossed

You laid yourself on water and I crossed
You...

Love 
is crossing an ocean of torment 
trying to reach a river of dreams
...is it worth the voyage

brooding daughter of nature
