Things cease to matter
after our last check’s written,
and we face judgment

Insufficient Funds
By: Miracle Man

At birth God opens, a new life, bank account,
and we don’t know what is placed in reserve.
Each day then becomes a check that we write,
and life becomes the place that we will serve.

We don't know what existing balance is,
for only God has access to each book.
At times in life when we’re facing dire straits,
and we pray that God is taking a look.

As we age we sense that our funds grow low,
is cash on deposit for checks we write?
Then without warning a statement will come,
account closed do to your funds being slight.

I’ve watched years mount with each clock’s chime,
While traversing daily looking back in time.
A time when love, was as a glowing ember,
But were things then, as I now remember?

Today, finds time busy closing my account,
facing obstacles, that I alone can’t surmount.
But I’ll keep writing checks, being most proficient,
Until God stamps time’s account, “funds insufficient”.

Insufficient Love Can Be

When love fills your breath and the air
the feel is strong and you can dare
Love, you tend to glamorise
and in words you aphorise
Dreams of princesses and knights
all is great as you reach heights.

That love is more than enough
tough times you would rise above.

Think about love on the ground
not dreamy ! rather earthbound
What if you fall and be mad
to your soul nothing you add
The shackles of codes and rules 
when unbound, treated as fools
What if in love you lose sight
with a heart of consumed light
Who you think  the one on earth
may reject the soul Self worth.

That love is just not enough
rough times you won’t rise above.

Get ready to set the Self free
insufficient love can be.


Inspired by "Sometimes love is not enough"   Silent One contest.

An Insufficient Replacement Service

when love is absent,
lost in the eye of the storm,
lust will just suffice.

What an injustice!
To describe you using only words,
a task that can only be completed,
by insulting you greatly.
So please forgive me,
as I blunder on.

You remind me of a candle,
when you are around, you bring,
just a little more brightness to life.

You remind me of a book,
with such interesting stories,
to spin to me.

You remind me of music,
you can change a mood
with just a few simple words.

You see what I mean?
I put my pen to paper, and,
this rubbish spews forth!
So I'll stop trying to write.
I am so very sorry,
that I think you are so spiffy.

You do bank in your heart
My cancelled check of love
Drove us apart

Your account closed off
To any eyes but your own
And you are unlikely
To provide a loan

Makes you but a pauper to me,
Your account is worthless
As far as I can see,
No cold ATM withdrawals
No smiling teller's eyes

Seems that love
You do despise
You keep your own,
Others you disdain
Only your own,
Do you maintain...

Spendthrift of love
You'll die alone,
No one is good enough
No one will hear
Your final moan

I spend my love foolishly,
At times, I admit,
And I know,
You don't give a sh_t,

But I stand a chance,
Slim it may be,
For someone to hold my hand,
With the last light I see...

I feel sorry for you
You cheat yourself
You have no emotion,
Your soul is small

I hate to see
Your final fall
No hand for you to grasp,
No hope for you to hold,
Your soul is frigid,
Your soul is cold.

Shame
Your history
