Premium MemberThe Lord Is My Portion - Lamentations 3: 24

In all of life's challenges aplenty
there is one source of conviction
a deep-filled knowledge of God
to hold you together is no fiction

Be aware of satan's devilish lies
stand firm with God's holy book
holding fast to your Lord alone
know His peace and presence is no fluke

Never listen to the worldly voices
that try to tempt you away
you know that

Lamentations

Sackcloth and ashes
blood and steel clashes 

carbon dust burnt at last 
digging the umber crust

sackcloth and ashes lie 
as time passes into the future 

it is written on the walls, 
something cracks n crawls

the morality of passing 
they have girded themselves 
in sackcloth n ashes, secondhand lashes

blood of fear in emerald eyes tear 
the aetherium

Premium MemberTherefore I Hope In Him - Lamentations 3: 22-24

Being not consumed we stand true
only by God's merciful grace
this is the God of eternity supreme
we receive compassion from His face

Compassion is the watchword from God
for the Lord provides never to fail
in His promises always surely certain
trust His sovereign hand even from gales

Always new never turns old
waken up every morning bright
great is the faithfulness of

Lamentations

On a ledge and in trace of paths to incandescent tunnels away from illusive digression.
Voices fade overhead into narrowing echo of screams amid mild depression.

I drown in the shadows to escape the mean pressure from society and peers combined.
A Judgement of guilt and inequity, that doesn’t seldom need to be redefined.

Provocative words full of rage

Sobbing withheld in silence and emotions oftentimes feels like their related to each other. Fears,  weaknesses,  mistakes.  Everyone seems to have their own issues and
one's soul  burning like charcoal upon a fire causing confusion, griefs, disappointments,
blood,  sweat and tears

Lamentations of the Heart

1.

The skies so seemed blue,
The sun was the only entity 
My eyes knew.
The forest was hollow,
Embraced by light,
It welcomed the little heart,
With a charming smile.

There was no worry,
Of the emerging night,
The lamps were never extinguished,
The fire kept burning,
If the dark wanted to stay.

A good life indeed, so ages ago,
I now see the clouds emerge
With a

Premium MemberLamentations of the Lately Bereaved

When I found you in bed, you had just died.
     I wept; my grieving went mostly unsaid;
you clearly were gone—I was horrified!
     As you lay still in bed, utterly dead, 
the huge shock I felt could not be denied, 
     as tears gave

Lamentations of the Apostle John

After the great and holy ascension
John travelled to the temple in contemplation
A pharisee called Arimanios came
Planted sand dust into his chest in damnation

John escaped into a lifeless desert
As John was crying forth two rivers in his heart
Jesus came to him and asked his brother
“John, why are you doubting as if drifting apart?”

Jesus Christ told the

Premium MemberWaiting On the Lord Is For Our Good - Lamentations 3: 25

The will of God can be hard to know
God tells us to come upon our knees
telling Him our innermost desires
to plead for His action crying, please

But sometimes He seems silent
and we wonder asking just why?
His purposes are past finding out
for God knows everything before we die

God is a good God, His word says so
all His

Premium MemberHer Lamentations

She dwells in a cavern,
a caliginous cavern built for her;
She knows no day~
ever since she dwelt there in.

Never known anyone 
except for the sullen silhouette 
that frequently visits her;
Never known any sound
except for the echoing dirge
that blends with her lamentations.

Her screams become sullen 
for no one hears her
except the dismal ebony walls
that surround her~
Her voice

Lamentations

Lend me your inner ear
Can’t you hear it....
The resounding wailing
In my head.....
Don’t you understand 
It is because my only child is dead
6 months, 1, 2, years may pass
This new existence is 
Still hard to grasp 
Even behind my stoic demeanor 
The screeching in my mind 
Never seems to die down 
What a confinement of insanity

Lamentations 1

How deserted lies the city, once so full of people!
How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces, has now become a slave.
Bitterly she weeps at night, tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers, there is no one to comfort her.
All her friends have

Plebeian Lamentations

Tried and tested by a virus, novel
I sit by the hearth of my lowly hovel
Taxed some more, without relief
Our kings, of their infallibility, grow in belief

Stimulus packages to the Lords
Home based care for the lowly sods
Dynastic games they play
The masses can only moan and pray

Lamentations In Blue

You lie there like unleavened bread
   A vestige of quaint repose
      Pall box lined with a satin thread
         Dapper in tailor-made clothes

         An errant
