Long Seale Poems

All everyone saw was my happy face,
But inside was a heart as delicate as a thin glass vase. 
Surrounding this glass vase was a cage,
The vase was full of pain and filled to the top...

I know you are locked away behind real bars,
I never really know your scars.
I have never really been there,
But I know you live everyday on a prayer.
I just know my personal prison,
The life that some...

I could feel the uneasiness in the air, 

With every word the people would swear. 

With every shout my heart shred, 

But His love just spread. 

With tears pouring down my face, 

From His heart...

There stood from the dawn of the ages, 
The Son of God in all His Glory. 
Opening and closing the curtains upon the world’s stages. 
Telling a redemption story. 

Mercy and grace, 
Mixed with Blood...

Who are the forgotten? 

Those hidden in the shadows of others.

The poor,

The broken, 

The widows,
 
The orphans,

Those not wanted by others,

Those that are cast aside,

Those overlooked,

Some people see the forgotten but rather not.

Some see the...

Rumor has it that this world is going to implode,
People are going to get everything that they are owed.
This world is so full of hate,
Some people say that it doesn’t matter at this rate.
Everything that...

You live in your secret world and I live in mine,
Because living in worlds together would not be fine.

The rift between us is much too wide,
for us to walk side by side.

To much damage has...

When your kids are grown your just a mom,
They call you to be their calm. 
You’re not allowed to have advice,
Unless it’s about how to remove mice.
A friend sometimes you just want to be,
But as...

It's permanent, It's definite
those words are so infinite.

As she lays across her bed
Thoughts of suicide and rage
run through her head
She gets up and makes coffee instead.

As she is standing there with tears running
down her face
she...

For Richard Lamoureux's "Any line" contest.  


Richard Seale-d Door's line:  slammed shut are the doors in "A mind made up".


You told me before
slammed shut are the doors
when my love for you went astray
I...

Somewhere in between, 
The seen and unseen.
It’s all been there from the beginning,
It’s just now the veil is thinning.
Why are you so surprised?
The enemy had everything disguised.
Prophets have shouted,
Many have doubted.
Time, 
It is sublime.
God in...

Early morning coffee,
Sunrise on shores of a sea.
Shades of green and blue,
Crabs playing a game of peek-a -boo.
Deep breaths of relaxation,
A sense of awe for all God’s creation. 
His voice I do hear,
His presence is...

So small 
insignificant it would seem
Alone 
Waving in the wind
From the view 
point 
Of the dirt 
Looking up
Wanting to be 
More
Never realizing
Just how
Important
A blade of grass 
really is
If only a blade can
Look from above
It would...

I was angry 
Yet then again, maybe I wasn’t. 
I was hurt
Then maybe I really wasn’t.
All the mixed emotions. 
I drug that closed book around,
Trying to peel it open.
Knowing I wasn’t meant to.
You warned me,...

Sirens, sirens, that is all I hear
why, oh why, did you have to drink the beer?
Don't you know that drinking and driving kills?
you have stayed out of the stills.
Can you hear the cry?
Those are the...

Tornadoes in the mind
Explorers go in to see what they can find.

Thoughts and words flying this way and that
To many thoughts and words to fill a hat.

Psychosis of the brain
Leave all others out in the...

Make them go away,
Make them go away!

I can feel them gnaw,
Can you hear the Raven caw?

I can feel them pulling at my soul,
They are just below the grassy knoll.

Are they human or are they not?
witches...

Oh, the pain of a hurtful word,
To the heart everything becomes so blurred.
Once the dart has been thrown,
And from the heart you can feel it groan.
What should have been a sunny day,
Now has been turned...

Words I cannot say, 

I feel as if I am buried up to my neck in clay. 

A door that I cannot see, 

Despite having the key. 

The devastation is much too real, 

I see...
