Long Sick at heart Poems

It’s seen things the likes of which you’ve never seen
It’s been places to which you have never been
A dancing shadow to swift to ever glean
The poem in green

It was born on Friday thirteen
Grew up on...

Life is most certainly like a game!
  You start with all the pieces.. genetics, soul, and name.

I have been stricken  like a  fool who utters all his mind,
And the fullness of the hope that I desire is still deferred.
So shall I say I am not sick?
I have been beaten...

Just tell me (one more time)
Where is that paradise road
Tell me is it my lovely haven or my sweet, sweet abode 
I'm sick of your plastic love
Sick of your heartless smiles... 
Sick of sucking up...

Passed down through generations I hold a gift of soup poetry,
it doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold, as long as it comes in rhyme,
free verse is also tasty when I add a good analogy,

When i come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in the gloom filled in the room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
I went not by choice...

Pull Your Blade From My Bleeding Back


Pull your blade from my bleeding back
the cut can thus bleed all the more
Your deceit so deep I've lost all track
your love is, crap water on a dirty shore!

I groan in misery and I am sick at heart
Look at me!
Has anyone ever had pain like mine? 
Has anyone ever suffered like me? 
All because of love
All because he fathers my son
My eyes are...

DISPOSSESSED 

Running,
Running…
We are always running, 
running again. 

I clutch my son’s small hand, 
his fingernails drive into my palm.
Running, Running again, 
and the cold is catching up to us.

Every step is slippery, against the
permafrost, and...

This life I see inside of me feels of a dream just out of reach;
A dream I can almost remember but then it's washed away with bleach.

I see myself through my eyes in a mirror...

I read in solitude, I found peace.
I read with love, I felt exulted.
I read when I was lonely, I got a companion.
I read when I felt sick at heart, I embraced ecstasy. 

I read histories...

You wear virtue on your sleeve
But you often wear nothing at all
Showing scars of thousands of years
When corrupt leaders beat you
But they could never kill you
So you survived the centuries
You masquerade as a maryr 
To...

When life seems an arduous desert trek
When black blizzards sweep past us
When our gullets stick like plastic with no moisture
It is then we look for God- our oasis
We wonder where he is hiding

When darkness invades...

THE SICK CHILD-EDVARD MUNCH

Ghostly downpour upon not the sick,
but the sick at heart - a child’s mother.
Bittersweet tangle of red - patient’s hair,
dresser, caretaker’s hands. Bedside
manner, sorrowful to the point of death,
but the woman is...

The air between us crackled bright
with red and blue and colored light
    the prism in your eye foretold
a force no human being could hold
    I split the atom in...

I turned
to walk away from her
believing
she would stop me
hold me back
call after me
beg me not to go;

I turned and walked away…
She did not stop me
Nor did she call me back.

Step after faltering step,
I kept wandering...

I got up from her side
and left her in a manner
she would stop me;

I turned and walked away…
She did not stop me
Neither did she call me back.

Step after faltering step,
I kept wandering away from her,
At...

Saw you and knew you

We didnt even need to speak

Saw you and wanted you in my life

just the thought of you makes me sick

So love sick my heart hurts

 

So love sick my stomach hurts...

Young lass,
young lad
What aileth thee?

Come hither,
come near
Let me have a query

Perchance I may so then divine
what troubleth thee,
what torments thy mind

Aaah, yes ... ooh no!
I see where the discomfort within ye dwell
It is your heart...

Perception is all.
With hands empty and love gone to the sword.
Lonely: sick at heart, body weak and mind in numbing sleep.
Red warning signs I ignored all the way,
cause I dared to believe.
Lion heart turned to...

The most beautiful thing
in this world to me,
is to see someone living holy

The way they talk,
the way they walk
I love how they comport themself
Their meekness,
their gentle way
Their firm resolve
to not get swayed
by temptations that are...

A mother's tears
fall on the cheek of her sickly child's face
Her breast gives untasted milk
as he struggles for his life
But with compassion,
the mother presses on with a gentle nudge
Pushing the child's face deeper
into her bosom
Hoping...

I let you go I have no remorse
 Your selfish actions I will not endorse
 How many women have had a love demise
 You're lying in bed but no compromise
 
Your soul is sick your...

Tell it not in
Nkporoland
And publish it not

And the sun has set

Why cry for a soul
set free?
Miss me a...

Honor God
Written By Miracle Man
August 28, 2021

Conquering fear,
I accomplish through faith,
Environment can determine the path we travel,
and where we are, often determines, who we are. 
Too many don’t acknowledge God’s greatness,
and therefore can’t discern the...
