Deterged Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

Thy Self

He can not answer this for her
The tides deterged are clear
Their feelings on a pendulum
Is something both so fear

To sail the seas around the world
Expecting not a storm
A pleasant voice without complaint
Unable to perform

Emotions let one's feelings out
Don't bottle them inside
A balance keeps one's measure poised
Contentment to abide

When chaos hits its not too late
Maintaining self control
To trust in Him and not on self
Submit one's heart and soul
