Doth Poems

The World Doth Pass Me By

     I find the world doth pass me by
        Shall I give it one last try

     The young don’t share my point of view
        They’re not upset by unverified news

     You cannot talk to them, only text
        They’re so feeble they're undersexed

     Why, when I was their age ---
        Oy, there goes my darned ribcage… 

     Father Time sneaks up on the best of men
        So to all ‘goodnight’ ~ ‘til I’m born again

I Think They Doth Protest Too Much

I think they doth protest too much
Though they say nothing
For fear the noxious, noisy wind
Will leave its fetid stench on them

For perfume is but a piglet’s bath
A cloak o’er bloodied flags
That bid them “go and do your worst”
Your life is over, you are cursed

They protest those that protest them
A beggared chant verse sainted hymn
Defend the throne of gods unknown
That somehow they have voted in

For truth is hard and lies defile
The sweetest talk the demon’s guile
That leads us to the tipping point
Of corpses marching single file

Yet still they doth protest too much
With blue-lit, cardboard voices
Unable to accept the fact
Somehow these were their choices

My Body Doth Sag

Well sing hallelujah and hang out the flags
My dentures are broken and my body doth sag
Still a happy old pig
Can still do the jig
But lately having trouble some parts to wag

Desire Death Doth the Weak

Desire death do those with weakness, 
    For present circumstances. 
To climb the face of life is meekness: 
    Behold all of God’s chances. 

With calloused hands in deep gray nooks, it’s meek to climb. 
     To rest is one step next to death,
       Not rest from work, but rest to dwell  
        In furlongs of failures, for faith is forgiven. 
     Because these burdens bring expectations 
No earthly man nor woman could fell. 

 So, lest the hungry rocks below be fed, 
Grapple north! Nerve lazy ligaments! 
   Long not nervous eyes on bottom bed, 
Gripping vocal chords cry loud instruments! 

   Like the slimy kinds of wriggling worm 
  Is rottenness inside our being, 
Oh, I am most aware. 
   Bite lying tongues and spring new form
  By blood (the Spirits bringing)
‘Fore Heaven’s royal chair. 

He purposed you to not dwell and fall
 And spite His gift He gives for all, 
Nor long loathe innard selfish stall
 That kills again all-died-for men.
Hoist those bones and pray- amen.

As Flowers We Doth Bloom

Yes, as flowers, we doth bloom and one day will fall.
This is how life is, one day, we will hear God’s final call.

So, while we are here and have God’s grace to be alive.
Do not try to destroy others, that is just offensive jive.

But being vain and wanting to appear popular and better,
Some brand others with their own form of a Scarlet Letter.

So popular they wanted to be, they become so disingenuous.
Meanwhile, forgetting, indeed, our lives are indeed, tenuous.

Read any portion of history, you will find wonderful people.
since time began 
Yet, others, who presented themselves as perfect but were 
hurtful and plain shams.

Live your life, so that eternity can be yours.
We cannot fool all others, they are far from demure!

Not one perfect human skates upon this planet,
But the pretense that they do, has Satan’s hoof marks upon it.

Doth Smileth Down On Me

In my hand a tiny seed I plant beneath the soil 
Full of promise and of joy for me with very little toil

Such joy for me to see when her first leaf appears 
My eyes are overflowing with so many joyous tears

One morn I spy a bud just like it fell from up above
A promise sent for me to see the flower that I love

It brings to me the biggest smile to think this tiny seed
Is now a 6 foot sunflower oh such great joy indeed

And each and every morn ‘tis the first thing that I see
My tall ~ my yellow sunflower doth smileth down on me

My Soul Doth Dance-

"As I cross the threshold and I walk on the heavens grounds my soul did dance
My soul danced
As I visualized as a glance my surroundings my eyes also dance
My soul dance
His father God and Jesus embraced me the hugs so embrace me Love poured out I cry
No longer fleshly do I pout
But just a chance at a glance my soul soul dance
It was Mom and Dad and my grandparents too and the generations of races all so true
At a glance a second chance alive rebirth born engaging again
As I'm stepping once again breathing my soul does dance
My soul Just dance
Is the streams of everlasting Waters trickle flowing by no longer are there tear ducts Waters flowing from my eye happy in my for now infernality for all eternity my soul does dance
My soul doth dance"

Love At Home

Love At Home

There is beauty all around
When there's love at home;
There is joy in every sound
When there's love at home.

Peace and plenty here abide,
Smiling sweet on every side;
Time doth softly, sweetly glide;
When there's love at home.

The End Doth Come-

As the curtain falls on the last play;
As the flame burns out of the candle;
The sun soon sets beneath the lands;
And the babies cries are soon muffled;
Aloud the very essences of the moon light stars;
Shining ever so bright in the evening night;
And the end does come;
to all and each and every one;
THE END DOES COME

The Bells Doth Ring

Death, where is thy sting?
And the grave, where is thy victory?
Another soul has fallen into eternity,
And the bells doth ring.

The Sun Doth Shinneth

Do my eyes deceive me, the sun doth shinneth
My fervent prayer, it will never diminish
Except at night time
A neighbor rings my chime
Better not mix them up, my wife's name is Trish

My Soul Doth Love You Senryu

my soul does love you
language of hate has long gone
I love you till dawn 

sunrise risen...now
conversations of love true
my soul heart loves you

Sunshine Doth Quench a Beautiful Day Qd

Through the wet willows, we stumble on 

Right in mid of autumn, perfect days. 

With first breath, the wakeful light of dawn 

A mystique flaming fire rise a blaze 

In the distant horizon, upon 

Hope, this perfect time didn't drift a-ways 

As gray, slow, swirl clouds and nearer drawn 

While the sun is rising. Nature plays

Immersed under waves of warm sunshine.

My Giggle Gene Doth Soar

My soft side is showing, must fix that for sure
A jester from birth, what the hell is the score
Could age be a factor
To be serious ever after
Not likely, my giggle gene once again doth soar

I Doth

People...
Of talent 
My wish,
Is your wish...
Come true
 
With great heart
I doth, 
Admire... 
Your Friendships
 
Evermore, 
Be'eth I...
Grateful
 
Sending love... 
To all
 
Ever...friend's
