Faithless Poems

Enough For Now, Enough Forever

Enough, he said with voice pitched low
Enough for now, he whispered slow
And curled in upon himself
Having nothing left to show

Knowing no one and nonself

Enough, he cried though no one heeded
Enough for now, as he retreated
And left another piece behind
Having no faith to be intreated

Perceiving his own broken mind

Enough, he proclaimed with a tremor 
Enough for

Premium MemberAbandon the Faithless flares

"The sun loved me again, when it saw that the stars would not abandon me" Jenim Dibie...

I paint on the blue-black arms of blank skies,
with pirouetting promises in midnight eyes,
no longer impatient for the dawning of hues~
manipulating the ache between ink and muse.

I breathe in silence, wrap my soul in rhyme-less forms,
to taste topaz tears

Faithless

render to Caesar
what is his,
lost faith hoovers
try to believe
leading a spotless life
bottle half full
don't forget your soul
burning midnight candles
pledge your touch
a chagrin of a chance
leadeth with me
to a challenged place

Oh Lord of eternity, Father of every life.' Bringer also, of rest you
Close every eye in death, I think on Moses he stood before
You and pleaded the cause of a nation.' You said you would
Raise uo decendants from the stones for him.' Yet he went
On pleading..To what avail.? It seemed a fair thing to do.?

Premium MemberNot Faithless But Wondrously Thankful

This is the version of my perspective as a Believer vis-a-vis Black Country Communion Song's "Faithless"

Victorious heart praises the Lord as Source 
Midst thanksgiving for blessings everyday
Toward accomplishment along work force
Brought by blest compassion and mercy’s ray.

Vigilant soul worships with joyous glow
Midst gratitude for faith-fortitude’s brace
Toward wondrous service by blessings’ flow
Marked by redemption upon hope

Premium MemberFaithless Feelings

It didn’t happen at the right time
I wasn’t his – he wasn’t mine
But, despite the dangerous passion
Fires ignited and we felt the longing
For the dance, - taking a chance
Uncertain and unsure, burdened 
With shame, guilt and humiliation
All the feelings that come from carrying
A torch for someone whose heart
Isn’t vacant, whose love is already taken

It didn’t

A Faithless Quest

Should we have faith in a faithless quest 
And put sheer foolishness to test 

That the coconut holds some water
Makes not ignorance call it a river

The snail knows wise to travel with shell
Or lives not at all to someday tell 

O darling! My darling basket
Useful are you as my pot of earth

Performing labour no other

Faithless Faith

“Bound by banks of time, a zillion years had passed before you and a zillion years yet to come; but in this timeline, we never met a GOD as he is a cup of delusion and so don’t fear the sacrilege, if you decide not to drink from that cup since bustle of civilization thrived

Faithless Justice

Faithless mallet
O' governing gavel
See me upon my knees
Prepared to grovel

For it was peace I sought
But chaos I wrought
In a fit of rage
I burned the page

Faithless mallet
O' governing gavel
How I've done it now
The world now weeps
But my end it will know

For salvation I need
For it I shall surely bleed
I shunned my faith
Now I face the wraith

Faithless

Four Elements

How bottomless you are, the lonely hell,
how dark and joyless, but the love I fell
in is much deeper. Oh, four words you said
so unexpectedly that my ink bled,
four elements, four natures of despair -
the water of my tears, the smoky air
of sleeplessness, the fire in my loins,
the earth of desperation that adjoins
insanity – the words

The Faithless Voter

Hans Christian Andersen getting jealous
its election time and Politian’s are getting zealous
telling tales is now the norm 
the promises are falling like in a heavy rain storm
fake news fills your news feed 
all written to convert and mislead 
they will promise you the moon and stars
then send your kids to die in wars

Premium MemberWords

Lively words on tiptoes left,
Vanishing in the night.
In vain have I sought to find them,
Those precious prodigal words.

Did they slip away like mice
Through temples worn out by age?
Like jocks who rode the bench too long,
Have they quit for lack of play?

Or have they found me faithless,
Lusting after phrases
And daisy chains of impish words,
And in anger

Faithless

I waited for the ray of light
As would a silkworm for the cocoon to break
For your warmth would break into my mould
And set me free as would a butterfly
But the light never came because night was too long
The cocoon withered and the silkworm died
So it was with my stony heart
That doubted God
And fell apart.
