Lamb Poems

Premium MemberAm I A Sacrificial Lamb?

They glare with eyes like frozen steel,  
Piercing, yet blind to what is real.  
They see the frame, not the flame,  
And brand me with a borrowed name.  

Their hearts beat cold, devoid of grace,  
Slander drips from lips that never face  
The truth I carry, bold and bare—

Nameless Blood

Blood drips on the ground beneath my feet
But not from my eyes you gouged out 
Or from the tongue you cut off 
Nor my eyes you left to listen 
And not my insides where it crawls.

Unkown makes me afraid
More than my blood pooling on the snow
I knew it always bleeds
But I don't know where the

Elect in Heavenly Daylight

After the elect
Sailed through the milky river
Christ, the golden lamb 
Shined through them in daylight blue
Like Omicron Velorum


Inspired by the Manichaean hymn "Hymn of the Bodies in Paradise"

Premium MemberLonely Lamb


Oh, my Lord! I'm quite a lonely lamb;
I know not which womb I've come from!
What I speak and do creates hostility.
I know not the difference between 
Good and bad, as l learnt it not as a child 
Resting my head in my mother's lap!
Having no parent to guide me rightly,
I request you to be by

Passover Lamb

You shall say to the master of the house (Luke 22:11 NKJV)
So you may eat and drink at my table (Luke 22:30)
Covenant is His blood, poured out for us. (Luke 22:20)
I love you, I am willing and able.

I hold these blessings of Joy as I should,
I take thine body and blood, it blesses.
I will taste

Premium MemberWhere's Sam

Mary Davis dwelled on a fruit farm, adoring the company of animals.
Most beloved was sociable Sam, who made her giggle, like bubbles!

Whereas Mary was seven-years-old, Sam, her lamb, was still a baby,
Given to Mary by best neighbors, when they played in orange daisies.

Sam's white fleece was soft and fluffy, like a mound of feather pillows;
Like

The Blood of the Lamb

I came in from the fields to take a bath.
Taking off my worn clothes I stared aghast.
They were so stained and filthy, torn and worn
That I looked for a way to get new clothes.
Sadly, I was poor without a penny.
I looked and saw the old chains on my feet.
These kept me bound to a cruel

Lamb To The Slaughter

Gentle tributary
of a hill-born river
suburban lake caressed
acres of fertile land -
paddy rich, growing fields

Schools of fish raced at depths
water-birds, herons, egrets,
warblers, mynas, pipits,
swallows, shikra, barbets, owls
Bowl that held varied lives

The surrounding city
rapidly scales cloud- heights, as
skilled strategists, land grabbers,
investors, policymakers,
now take her on a ride

The silenced birds, once family
to the lively-living lake,
their provider, now watch
from

Premium MemberLamb to the Slaughter

I fear for the future of many young and innocent.
The unfortunate ones whose childhood was spent
without responsible parents who couldn't care less.
Abandoned or runaways, alone and in dire distress
of what to do. To survive they turn to a life of sin...
thinking it's better than the home they were living in.
On their own, using the only

Lamb To The Slaughter

He humbly accepted to lay down his life  
To put an end to the enmity and strife.  
This was the Father’s will,  
So that the sacrifice would serve as a seal.  

He was a lamb taken to the slaughter,  
To redeem and reconcile us when we falter.  
He was
