Draws Poems

As Death Draws Near

As death looms near will we have any regret;
when God judges us, will we stand up erect?
If we could, would it be just aftereffect
of a life lived for self, with pride’s introspect?
What did God ordain with the word, resurrect?

There comes to the soul, a day and the subject -
of guilt as a sinner,  immoral, suspect.
We can put the

The Draw breaks Bazball Law

According to Bazball law, deplore the days of yore, hell bent..ignore what went before

Why even mull over a tie..cull every dull lull…do or die super nova…run rates soar…can chase whatever they score, make sure there’s no more bore draw

But hard not to adore or at least admire…the entire five day feast and the Ben beast

Premium MemberA Knife's Edge Draws Blood

Dangers plague the rebellious world in which we live
Too much greed and vengeance. Too few willing to forgive
It's a never-ending war cry of accuse, fight, and repeat
We’re all walking along a knife's edge with bloodied feet
It's nation vs. nation, brother against brother; combative.

Everyone is power hungry to become king of the hill
Stepping upon each other

Water Draws Near

Water Draws Near 

The rush of a wave in the ocean, the babble of a creek, the stillness in a pond and warm wet cords of relief in the shower, water draws near. It’s the Living Water that took me here today, to tell you all I wish I could have said back then.

Premium MemberLooking into the mirror, again and again, my reflection slowly draws near

Looking into the mirror, again and again, my reflection slowly draws near,
with a breath, it twists my hands—and I know what it wants from me,
it has always envied what I love, despised what I adore with passion,
tonight it returns, her fingers lightly touch my lips,
tracing their outline like a lover, until she delves deep,
the blood

Premium MemberIn the deep darkness, where the soul draws its night curtain

In the deep darkness, where the soul draws its night curtain,
I write with the blind cruelty of children throwing stones,
Hitting a madwoman like a crow in chaotic flight,
No—not writing: opening a passage in the twilight,
So the dead may send cryptic messages,
An equation of shadows and light.
What is writing, if not a whirlwind of senses,
To steer

Premium MemberAs Evening Draws Near


A sailboat gently floats across a peaceful lake 
and suddenly the world befriends me once again
Beyond all time the memory of our fishing trip
still lingers on my mind;

It lays softly upon the Huron lake, 
like a  plethora of Petoskey stones,
reminding me of the way the sun used to slant
softly, across your misty green eyes;

I

Premium MemberMother Nature Draws the Dawn

**  Mother Nature Draws the Dawn  **


Already, 
Dawn sets off 
This longitude’s waking,
Displaying nearby trees
Into their scribbled silhouettes
In shades
Of gray with blasts of black masses  — 
Points gathered
Fronting the quick brightening over
Yesterday’s leaving darkness, 
 And bringing forth this day’s white-glazed,
Cloud-faced sky —
Appearing before my sleepy eyes
Without any distinguishable color, and 
Simply

Jude Refused Winning Numbers

Sir Jude never gave them a thought:
Not the kind of ideas he bought.
Well-wishers went down on their knees
"Please sir, play the draws - Double Please!"

Soon, the draws great miracle wrought;
On other palms dropped what Jude sought:
Millions that shan't take one to court;
Big cash for life of any sort

And since then Jude body heat fought
At home

Premium MemberWhen God Draws Nigh

When God draws nigh, all nodes within form sigh
Magnetic heat peaks, opens our third eye
Soma nectar flows, our heart’s all aglow
Presence abides in tranquil stillness slow
Throbbing rapture takes us to a new high

Fears recede, as our ego cravings die
We dance to tunes of love, no longer shy
Between our eyebrows, bliss pulsations grow
When God draws nigh

Life

Premium MemberAutumn Draws Near

Summer fading, Autumn draws near
Apace, a waft murmur hum so clear

Bold aroma of petrichor gather
Upon pulse lands color plants
Rains journey row by row

Nature sounds amid thinning amber leaves, 
Neath calm of shadow deciduous trees
Tinder blaze of golden colors under
Unhurried, yet empowering wonder

early morn sunlight
beguiling nesting birds chirp~
pond languidly moves

Premium MemberSpring Draws Nigh

Warm winds clear the land of snow:
when daffodils start to show.
And as cold spells ebb and wane,
Winter's Ice Queen ends Her reign.

Leaves unfurl on every tree;
ice breaks up, and creeks flow free.
With each dawn, the sun shines strong;
night shrinks, the day stretches long.

Winter is fleeing the scene:
soon it'll be time for sunscreen.
But that's a small

Our Solar System is over four billion years old
It'll probably last another 5000 million, we're told
Whew! Had me pooping
My drawers they're a-drooping
Glad I've only got a few more years till I fold

The Child Who Draws Is the Most Lovable

——to Bianbian's Raised by Blood

The blood in her fingertips
Was ticking into a clear rivus
The golden fish were swimming in the universe
The man who could understand it can't understand 
The man who couldn't understand it can understand

Judgment Day Draws Near

J-udgment day draws near, 
E-ven at the doors; 
T-wenty-eight of May, 
T-ribulation is getting worse.

B-e prepared, be on watch, 
A-ll signs are clearly seen; 
R-aging storms, earthquakes, 
O-ffensive acts are a common scene.
L-ead a new way of life, darkness will disappear; 
A-s time is flying fast, judgment day draws near.
