Looking At Poems - Poems about Looking At

Shall I peer into my looking glass, my darling?

I stare at the girl through my looking glass.
In her smile, self-deprecation sighs.
Voices in her head whisper chaos,
as she screams internally for attention,
begging any deity above to save her.

Oh dear, doesn't she know?
The looking glass might just crack,
from a world where fight becomes flight.
She enforces principles of modesty in clothing-
but is modesty the only veil

WHEN YOU CAME LOOKING

songer.co/song/zhrrlz76f4svedppeqpsvle1

[Verse 1]
You came by when the world got too loud,
Eyes like rain, voice full of doubt.
I didn’t ask — I just stayed,
Held your silence like it had something to say.
But I was always the place you’d land,
Not the one you’d ever understand.

[Chorus]
And love… real love doesn’t hide,
Doesn’t knock just when it’s cold outside.
I didn’t know

Jesus painted a picture that I alone could see,
no more was I considered a Doubting Thomas.
Despite my many shortcomings He still loved me,
 and had given to me hope, truth, and promise.

At times God has placed me on an uncertain path,
it’s during these times he is testing my faith.
Obedience is the key to avoiding God’s

Yahweh’s Promises, Adonai’s Reality and looking at Jesus

Today, too many Christians have settled for Yahweh’s Promises
Without experiencing the full power of Adonai
The promises of Yahweh are True
The Reality of Adonai is the fulfillment of those Promises

Adonai is the Ruler, Master, and Owner 
He has the final say
As we pray, we surrender our lives to Him!
In his Kingdom, we have everything we need
We

cat claw marks on a tree
long deep angry looking gouges
a huge animal, possibly a leopard, tiger or lion

I envision this beast sharpening her enormous claws
maybe a velvety black puma with yellow eyes
terrified, my hair stood straight up on end
am I being watched from the shadows?

No One Comes Looking

I was eight years old the first time I realized,  
no one was coming to save me.  
That I could scream ,
until my throat bled raw,  
cry until my eyes swelled shut,  
beg until my knees bruised-
against the floor,
and still,  
no one would come.  
I learned young that love

Two formidable contenders are battling for the crown, each making grand promises. Where do we go wrong? What wisdom does our Bible impart about speaking in tongues? It's a reality that for one to win, another must lose; that’s the essence of this game change. We know that nothing will ever be the same again.

The Looking Glass

Amidst all the maylay we emerged
like growing seeds immune
to the harvest
Time spent in darkness bought
us things we needed
during the purge
Missing the past is absurd for
it's just a memory of
retained but forgotten
words
A grain of sand in an hourglass
clearly shows us the material
isn't meant to last
What we do take with us 
are lessons of the past
that mirror

I Am A Florida Black Man Lynched For Looking At A White Woman

they said it was the sun,
but it was her eyes—
blue like drowning,
and I looked.

I didn’t whistle,
I didn’t speak,
just looked.

they dragged me out
like a busted dog
from a hot porch,
shouting things
even the devil would blush at.

the rope
was older than the tree,
and the hate
older than that.

tell her I forgive her—
but never them.

Premium MemberLooking to the Harvest

A lunar luster spills a silvershine
cascade of nebulating moonshine lilt
onto a night-time field, drawing a quilt
of pale radiance over the still vine. 

A myriad of glowing serpentine
twines sleep.—but, slithering round its stout stilt,
a wakeless plant is working out its tilt.—
It’s fruit will not be ripe enough for wine.

So see I, amidst the flourishing grape,
the withering
