GOTCHA !


Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise 
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art ! 

"Bite me" he says to an empty sky 
Oh my!   How angry he was, cuz his love decided to die ! 
It was not her fault at all... 
she had cancer and God decided to take her away! 

"Gotcha" said the angel with the droopy diaper 
of course he thought he was King's Bee, both cute & dapper ! 
Jill leaned over by the park bench and offered him 
half of her sandwich, Baloney and Mustard ! 

It was his wife's favorite, she had wrapped it the same way too !    
He took it as a sign that she had sent her down from heaven.   
Tears spilled over when he saw that she was wearing,  
a gold pin with a four leaf clover!

When cupid's arrow aims for you, there isn't much that you can do !

Ps: Now lets see what you can do ! Please join my contest. :)


Threads of Life

In the tapestry that we call life
 we're but a single thread
So when one dies we cannot let 
a single tear be shed

For all things have a certain flow 
whether slow or fast
We're intertwined with future times 
and time already past

Every person on this earth 
impacts each others lives
For you to truly comprehend 
look through anothers eyes

Then maybe you will finally see 
we're all in this together
If we try to help each other out 
this world just might get better

Instead of violence show some love 
and see what that might bring
For peace and joy go hand in hand 
overcoming anything

If we teach the children of this world 
that hate is not the way
Then we must start that lesson now 
so peace can reign someday

For a world where all can finish first 
and no one left behind
Since the true at heart can only be
 the future of mankind

Dilemma

Although you thought it loud to me
How unwanted I would always be
After you swept me off my feet
To only toss me to the streets


Although you cursed my truthful care
And rare faith that’s unfound here
And upon bruised my love so true
Real love that chose to care for you

You took away my smiling face
With it you took my best grimace
And was seized my laughter too
Along with it my feelings true

My heart is stressed from cursing thee
It pounds; it beats as it grows weak
My whole being hates your memories
Irony; craves your company

An outcast lost in your own heart
I weep, I wail in woman’s land
And thus has none to console me
In all this pain, that’s all but sweet

Although your eyes still comfort me
Lost in your gaze, I find relief –
Although your smile still consoles me
Rejection wakes my unbelief

When in your face I find kindness
Warmth and embrace of loveliness
Just then withdrawn, your heart and care
You seek not I, you seek one else

An empty box, a hungry hole
Has swallowed all to remain so
I despise you so much my dear
But would give all to have you near

Aggrandized hurt, and agony
Can one feel so, and keep “to breathe”?
Each time the thought, “not having thee”
Nearby enough, so I’d be free

Thief of always, beautiful curse
You make me soar, then make me fall
Eternal dream I wield awake
All yours to give, more so to take.

Yet I Believe

                  Yet I Believe 

    May all I do today begin with You. 

                    Lead me,
        The way where I can’t stray. 

          Thou thine heart, O'Lord,
               I will always pray. 
              
                  I lean on you,
         When I'm utterly helpless.
       And life comes crashing through. 

       You gave me a reason to believe,
            For I know you are true. 

           The courage to stand still
                     and not fear.
                                        
                 You make me see. 
                              
      For you, I gave myself the reason to be. 

                    I have not seen,
                      Yet I believe.
                          
        When everything is set in place,
           Then, I will see Your face!

In My Life - We Both Lack Sunshine

I will love you if you would step out of the abyss with 
me
I’m fearless to say that I used to bleed out remorse
Before I met you…of course
I used to cry myself asleep because I felt so alone
Before I met you, I was on my own

V.6: What’s baby blue with glee? – The sky!
We welcome the sun to shine upon you and I 
I spot you, dancing freely – I don’t want to lose you just 
because we were pushing each other’s buttons and 
devouring strife
I see you in the corner of my eye
You are strong to stay strong when you met eye to 
eye with your struggles in life
I need you to let go of guilt and fly

*chorus* I never have the strength and the 
energy to say that you saved me from the death’s snare
But, I must tell you someday, so that you’re aware
That you are someone special in my heart – I can’t conceal 
the truth of what I feel for you deep inside
In my life, in my life, I’m still stuck in the solitary cave 
In my life, in my life, I thought I wasn’t at all brave
I was caved in by the cravings of my heart
The darkness once ripped me apart
But, you repaired me and I recovered pretty fast
So, please listen up! I must tell you about my good and bad 
past
Fear doesn’t exist here 
Get a grip on the rope of hope
All anxieties are gone
We dream on like daydreamers, awaiting another great, 
delight-illuminated dawn 
I’ll love you until my life is no more
I’ll love you, even if you have strayed into the darkness
I love you from the bottom of the ocean to the heavens 
above
I’ll love you – I won’t get over you and you’re my love at 
first sight – you were and still are a dazzling, surreal sight – 
you kiss me and I’m overwhelmed with passionate bliss 
I will love you if you would step out of the abyss with me
I will love you if you can be so kind and participate with me 
as I step out of the abyss - you're down? Wipe away that 
frown and embrace sunlit glee! Be happy!

Premium Member TWO KINDS OF LOVE

Love comes in a myriad of shapes and sizes
in countless forms both large and small…
that I could’t possibly in one poem…
communicate them all…

But as we head into this holiday season
I imagine we need love more than we ever needed it before…
So today I bring you 2 definitions of love:
one from Tommy who is 6…
and one from Maryann…who’s 4.

Love, according to Tommy…(I’ve added in the rhyme)
is when an old lady and a old man are still good friends
even though they’ve known each other…for a long, long time.

Maryann defines love in a totally different way…
It’s when you’re pet dog licks your face, she says
even though you’ve left it home alone all day.

And so my wish for you is simple…
that sometime before you life is done…
if you haven’t already felt Tommy’s or Maryann’s love…
you will have experienced…at least one.

Premium Member How Does the Soul Enter Heaven

God invites everyone to go to heaven!
Such is His desire, design and delight
along with His offered compassion 
marked with grace, mercy, peace and forgiveness
packed in His gift of eternal life.

The Bible declares in John 3:16:
"For God so loved the world, 
that he gave his only begotten Son, 
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 
but have everlasting life."

God welcomes each one to His heavenly abode!
This is made possible by faith in the Saviour Jesus Christ
Who paid the price for such entrance
through His precious sacrifice: His death on the cross.

According to the Scriptures which I fully believe
“To be absent from the body
is to be present with the Lord…”*
The soul enters heaven after earthly breath ceases
separating from the mortal body
to dwell with God in heaven forever.

Since faith in the Saviour matters most
I then must put my trust in Jesus Christ
“The way, the truth, the life…
fully relying on His assertion that
“No man cometh unto the Father, but by me…”**

Having known that God by His love 
already opened heaven’s doors to sinners like me
I did never miss the opportunity 
of accepting His gift of eternal life*** 
for life everlasting means heavenly citizenship.

Now, I’m assured of secured fellowship with the Almighty
as my blessed soul is ready to enter heaven
when He calls me to live in the mansion
the Saviour prepared there in His Father’s house****
for all those who believe in Him.

That is what I testify triumphantly
through Gospel declaration of hopeful bliss
toward freedom from transgression-bondage
‘til eternity in heaven, even beyond forever.

*2Corinthians 5:8 We are confident,… and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
**John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
***Romans 6:23 … The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
**** John 14: 1-2 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

You looked up to the skies
Praying angels would guide your voyage… sigh
Away for the brutality, of Assad and his war
You escaped, brothers three in arms
Loving, and wanting to build a better score

Wishing peace and happiness, to bury all wars strife
Dreams of an engineer filled with hope and new life
The irony is that you would have to fear
Some engineer before you, who let the fires
Kill the poor the small and unspoken ones
Assad you see appears in many forms
Evil and greed often born of the same seed

I only say to you and your brothers
We weep for you, one and all, no one should suffer
I too now, have a dream
A building, beautiful, majestic and masonically tall
Named after a builder who lost his future in London’s fall
To the British elite who care not at all
Dignity belongs to all people, no matter small or tall

Premium Member Oh Father What Do I Do

"Oh Father what should I do?
I love her and my love is true.
Oh Father, I don't know what more I can do.
So please help me, help me now,
Make her mine some how."
(and the Father said to him);
"Love her more, love her true,
That my son you have to do.
Show her you care, for you
really do.
Give her time to say,
I love you.
Listen as she speak softly
Hear her every word.
It shows you  mean it,
This she will see.
Trust my son
for trust is key."
(he then said to Him who spoke)
"I've heard you speak, 
of what you say,
Please give me the courage
the courage to obey."
(the Father spoke again, only to the heart):
"My child you have courage, you've had it,
from the start."
(he smiled as he heard the last part)
"Love conquers all, or have you not heard?"

Premium Member A Poetic Destination

A POETIC DESTINATION

I began writing  poetry at fourteen years
Of age,
An inherited gift from my grand-father
Whose sage,
Advice I always heeded,
Always strong with poetic guidance,
When needed.
My darling parents were not
Poetically inclined,
Loved them a lot, but poetry
Suggestions from them declined,
Poetry in our family had skipped,
A generation,
The poetic train of life had missed
A station!
On I went for decades writing
My poems,
Sometimes felt they were not good enough
Kept saying, Jenny get out of the doldrums!
Wanted to read other poetry, and
Share mine,
Then, two years ago, my friend read
My poems and said, what fine,
Work this is,
Go onto a poetry site, or else I’ll
Do it for you,
I took notice and immediately took
Her up on her cue.
Looked on the internet and found
Poetry Soup,
How did I ever survive without our
Wonderful group,
A friendly supporting, loving united
Troup.
What an amazing move 2 years ago
I made,
I will remain here for as long
As God grants me, as never before
Have I had poetic ideas cascade,
And thanks to my muse who collects,
Them and mentally files them,
I’ll never run out of themes
For as always, my muse stays ahead 
and projects!
