Those tears will start to flow and ease the pain
That stabs the heart and slowly overflows.
And as a river rises with the rain,
The soul will feel that fullness as time grows.
And filled with sadness, teardrops ease their way
To flood the eyes and saturate each cheek
Then often wiped away as if to say,
Unburden me to find the peace I seek.
Where do tears go when each is wiped or dried?
As raindrops, do they quickly disappear?
Or are they trophies of the times we've cried
For our recoveries from loss or fear?
Each teardrop joins that river in our life
That helps the soul stay full in times of strife.
On the shores of Santa Catalina
time is lost in nature’s simplicity
where sea breezes rustle languid palms
sparse brown peaks cradle eagles’ nests
and red foxes hide in dense mustard fields.
As I trek upwards along a narrow trail
leaving the harbor and isthmus behind
the morning fog lifts its obscure curtain
to reveal a stunning cerulean blue sky
that spans across the vast horizon.
Cacti sit, plump and happy from the recent rains
hearty wildflowers dot the arid canyons
weathered posts remind of a fence long gone
while telling tracks mark the paths of bison.
As I reach the summit
my soul is longing to soar
on a majestic eagle’s wings
or skim the rolling seas
like a persistent pelican fishing at dawn.
I long to free my spirit from its earthly bonds
and unburden the trials that trouble my soul.
Yet, I know that the Lord is ever with me
He is intimately acquainted with my ways
His Spirit comforts me along life’s journey
for in it I see glimpses of His eternal glory
as He covers me with His everlasting love.

Universe
Inside the universe, where lovers go
I have found with you many worlds of joy
as they warm this love through the times we know
within the day and night dreams, we enjoy
as we bind ourselves to this universe
we'll cross the divine our love discovers
beneath moonglow and stars so luminous
we'll claim this peaceful region as lovers
in this passionate realm so bountiful
deep within the heart of our devotion
we'll hold in our souls love so beautiful
born from revealing eyes of emotion
this universe, this love, this solemn vow
like the limbs of a willow our hearts bow

Millions of galaxies with colors shining bright
Distances can only be measured in light years
Celestial bodies in clusters of light
Making their orbits around massive spheres
There are huge stars somewhere out there
That may one day implode
Its brilliant brightness will take a while to disappear
Just a fraction of many an episode
The Earth is just a small part of this vastness
And we are but a speck in the scheme of things
Earth orbit around the sun to express
That time has come full circle, what joy it brings
The sun sets as the day ends
The moon rises as night descends
Stars begin twinkling from afar
It's time to wish upon a star!

"Words uttered in anger can weigh heavy on the heart,
but those uttered in contrition absolves a sorrowful soul."
~ authored by poet
Apologetic words, asking forgiveness were uttered
Each one spoken with apprehension as he stuttered
Absolved from carrying the weight of a heavy heart
His soul was liberated so we could make a new start
Romantic words into my ear, he then softly uttered
I felt my lips begin to tremble; my heart fluttered
No longer encumbered by any doubt and concern
since he'd finally declared love for me in return
Tenderly, he held me. Passionate sighs we uttered
The flames of desire burned brighter and sputtered
We kissed as the moon glowed in lucent splendor
My only thought at that moment was, "I surrender"

No rules, laws or borders, killing for guns and gasoline
This is the world order, a blackened future unforeseen.
~ “The Rise of Chaos” by Accept.
Unforeseen dangers may lurk in the wings
Oh Lord, I have seen some fearful things,
Woe be thy providence for thus deceiving me
For what do I see? I see malevolence set free.
What a wanton trick you have played on me?
Lord, if ever thy face by the daylight I see
I’ll proclaim thy judgment has gone amiss
In the scheme of things, Man is easy to dismiss.

For all of you who know me
for all of you who care
for all of you who have been there
for me to share.
Ive shared my dark days
Ive bared my soul
those of you who have let me
unburden my shoal.
Little fishes run wild.
I know I have been an unruly child.
I thank you all from the heart of me
the core of me
and the badness in me,
but brighter day have shone.
This has been my silence
I cannot find the words to shine
when life is looking good
but reflections of days gone by
give me hope.
I am so grateful that you stood with me
with honest words spoken
spur me on when I have been broken.
I havent had the voice
or
character to say
you have given me strength
in this day.
You know who you are.
Blessed be. x
I tried to ignore you, but I miserably failed the test.
So, I'm posting this to unburden it from my chest.
It's in reply to your continual endeavor to protest
against those of us who enjoy writing for contests.
Why does it matter to you? Why are you obsessed
with our friendly competition? Just give it a rest!
You judge us and that's not worthy of being blessed.
Maybe to God, your reproach should be confessed.
I don't enter contests to be the Queen of Poetry Hill
That's really contemptible ink you choose to spill,
and your vinegary attitude is that of a pickle... a dill.
Can you find amiable words to write with your quill?
There are no cold poets here, but many feel your chill.
I took umbrage when you called PS a 'selfish place.'
That's simply not true, and it's totally not the case.
There's never been a justifiable reason to debase
us with what you wouldn't dare say face to face.
You wrote of friendship, so why don't you embrace
all poets, and do it with some semblance of grace?
You wrote that we should all be helpful and kind.
That's a bit hypocritical and it just blows my mind
each time you post lines with your same old grind...
contempt you have for contest poets you maligned.
Your prods are noticed because no one here is blind
to read what you write about us. You've been unkind.
God blesses us when we treat each other as brothers,
and that's the way you'd see us if I had my druthers.
If you claim that we should be a blessing to each poet,
then you should adjust your thinking, and you know it.
Unworthy am I, yet God loves me well
His compassions fail not; that I can tell
Enabling me to place my trust in Christ*
Fortress of my soul; in Him, I’m sufficed.
Undeserving, but I’m endowed with grace
Made possible by the Lord’s mercy-brace
Offering to me His fellowship sweet
Marked by pardon of wondrous kindness’ treat.
Unchained from sin-bondage of woeful pain
Granted by the Saviour along faith-gain
Freeing me from damnation caused by guilt
And ushered to blessed hope truth has built.
Unfailing Word of Almighty prevails
Since His great omnipotence never fails
Assuring me eternal life as gift
While ensuring transformation uplift.
Unfathomable is goodness divine
So wondrously awesome is the design
Letting me thank the Creator with bliss
Serving Him through others I should not miss.
“And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” 1Timothy 1:14 of the King James Bible
