Betwixt Poems - Poems about Betwixt

This clinging dark not death, not bloom stilled in air. Soft walls resist what dares to come The skin forgets its former hue, Will light find purchase there? A hush before the body breaks, not wing, not wound, but something near... The splitting shell reveals a vast, cold, bright despair....

Blue on blue a sandwich of the sky and sea clutching on jealously to the distant horizon. They both join hands, laugh, and emit their features, creatures and apparitions. Streaming towards you like they're on washing machine wringer rollers, one spinning out and up the other, spinning out and down, painting the scene blue on blue, silk-screened. Seagulls soar. Flying fish leap. Dolphins hobby-horse. Fishes flip, flop and swim. Clouds billow and wallow along. Waves rush...

Upon the pond, where lilies float, Two ducks did meet, each fine of coat. Their feathers gleamed ‘neath gilded light, And thus began their feath’ry fight.

It seems evil flourishes time after time. Men follow cycles of hate, greed and crime, mixed in with apathy, jealously, fear. I’ve wondered the cause but it’s really quite clear. For the war rages on betwixt Satan and God. God requires faith in him and here’s what’s odd - Satan does not require that we believe. He has an effective gig going...

What Lies In The Betwixt And The Between What lies in the betwixt and the between Heaven and hell, this world's darkest of scenes Mankind wallows in the deepest of sin Parades in blackest deeds, from early teens Dare we to such foul actions then decry Whilst our own deep darkness we seek to hide As we walk under the malevolent moon Into...

Betwixt bliss beats, our soul’s aware That all that is, is but God’s grace And thus side stepping ego’s snare We choose to exit life’s rat race Childlike innocence paves the way Betwixt bliss beats, our soul’s aware That fears and desires make us sway But we flow with nary a care We wish to share but none can pair With love’s vibrance we...
